Chapter 100: Water Diversion for Attack
A day passed, and the master and servant had tied up another thirty miles, which was already sixty-five miles. If they tied up one more night tonight, they would be able to reach the manor tomorrow.
Yu Wan was happy just thinking about it. She was afraid that the water she left in the manor would not be enough. She had no choice but to let them stay up all night.
If Zong Zheng could use it sparingly, it would be enough tonight.
Yu Wan didn't care about being tired. She would just sit in meditation for a while when she was tired and continue to collect bamboo.
Until daylight, the manor was at the foot of the mountain, only a few miles away.
"Little snake, go back to the pond and put down the water."
The little snake saw that Yu Wan was really tired, and it flew into the deep mountains.
Yu Wan sat cross-legged on the ground and began to practice.
"Huh", Yu Wan exhaled a long breath, and the feeling of fatigue after practice disappeared, and her cultivation level increased a little.
Every time she used her spiritual power in excess, the spiritual power in her dantian would increase a lot after practice.
Yu Wan especially liked this operation.
"Master, it's done", the little snake jumped into her arms.
"Well, little snake, you've worked hard," Yu Wan picked up the little snake and gave it the meat in the space.
And she continued the remaining few miles of work.
"Master, master, the water is coming," the little snake shouted.
Sure enough, a stream of clear water flowed down from the bamboo pipe, and when it reached Yu Wan, it flowed into the soil.
"Hehe," Yu Wan smelled the bamboo fragrance and smiled foolishly.
She worked hard for two nights and a day and a half, and finally saw results. How could she not be happy.
"Little snake, work quickly, just a few miles," Yu Wan threw the little snake over and lifted the bamboo.
Yu Wan quickly tied the bamboo to the tree and fixed it.
An hour later, the pond dug on the farm was at her feet. Zong Zheng followed her wishes. The pond was next to the foot of the mountain, just a few meters high, and the bamboo strips stretched directly above the pond.
"Huahuahua," the water flowed into the pond.
The pond was ten feet long and wide, and two feet deep. It was full and completely enough for the farm.
There is strength in numbers. It took only three days for two hundred people to dig such a big pond.
Yu Wan jumped into the farm and walked to the small courtyard. When she arrived, she looked at the jar in the house and found that there was no water. She immediately filled the jar.
When she went out, Zong Zheng happened to come back with food.
"The fourth lady is back", Zong Zheng shouted happily. He knew that the master was back and there would be water.
"Well, she is back. You can ask them to come back. I got the water from the mountain and put it in the dug pond now. You don't have to worry about no water in the future."
"Really?" Zong Zheng couldn't believe his ears. The master actually went to the mountain to drain water these days?
Yu Wan nodded: "If you don't believe it, you can go and see it."
Zong Zheng asked people to move the things on the carriage back to the small courtyard, and he ran to the pond alone.
After a while, Zong Zheng ran out: "Fourth, fourth lady, you, you are so amazing."
"Hahaha, I think I am amazing too, uncle Zong, let them all come back to take a bath and change clothes."
If you don't take a shower and change clothes, you will probably be a bunch of stinky men.
"Hehe, okay, I'll go now," Zong Zheng asked Hu Zi to drive the carriage to the farm in the west of the city.
Yu Wan was in a good mood today. She had been busy for so long and hadn't slept. She was a little sleepy, so she found a place with good concealment and flashed into the space. She had to have a good sleep.
After waking up, Yu Wan washed up in the space and had a meal. She asked San Zhuzi: "San Zhuzi, how many of those seedlings have been raised?"
The time in the space flows fast. She asked San Zhuzi to pull out the seedlings and put them aside after raising them, so that they would not continue to grow.
San Zhuzi said: "Miss, it's enough for 20,000 acres of land."
Yu Wan was a little surprised. San Zhuzi might not have rested: "So many, then don't raise them first, it's enough."
Then she told San Zhuzi what to plant and then came out.
When she came out, it was already the next morning outside. She turned to the field and sure enough, some people were carrying water to the field to soak the field.
Someone was pouring water on the ground.
She looked into the pond and saw that it was already half full.
Yu Wan followed the pipe up the mountain. She checked which parts needed to be fixed or were not firm, and she reinforced them.
The water was neither too big nor too small, just right.
She checked all the way to see if anyone had damaged it. Until she reached the deep mountain and the canyon, the bamboo pipes were all good.
Yu Wan was relieved, and she filled the space with water in the pond before she went down the mountain.
At the foot of the mountain, there was a commotion by the pond in the manor, and Yu Wan sped up her progress down the mountain.
By the pond, a group of nearby villagers carrying buckets were confronting the people in the manor.
A villager said, "There is really no water in our village. Let us connect some water and we can pay you."
The servants in the manor said, "It's not that we don't want to fetch water for you. As you can see, this water comes from the mountain. Our master worked hard to connect it. We have to wait for the master to come back anyway."
Everyone was talking at once, but the servants refused to agree.
Yu Wan looked for a while and walked to the top of the pond. The servants were about to call her.
She shook her head and said, "Go and call your steward."
The servants didn't understand what he meant, but they asked them to call the steward, and one of them immediately ran to the courtyard.
Yu Wan went down the slope and went to the courtyard. Those who wanted to fetch water thought they were children from the farm and didn't say anything.
She walked into the courtyard and Zong Zheng was walking around anxiously.
Seeing Yu Wan coming back, he immediately stepped forward and was about to speak when she said, "I know. It's okay for the nearby villagers to come and fetch water. Let them fetch it. If we don't let them fetch it, it will be even more troublesome to damage the pipes. But the wall behind us needs to be repaired to prevent them from seeing the crops we will plant in the future and stealing them."
"Okay, Fourth Miss, I know." He was anxious. He couldn't make the decision when his master was away. The water was more expensive than silver. Now that his master had spoken, he naturally knew what to do.
Zong Zheng went to deal with it. Yu Wan left the farm and went to the farm west of the city.
She had to see how the pond was dug.
For such a big farm, one pond would definitely not be enough.
She rode for two incense sticks and arrived. Fortunately, the roads outside these farms outside the city were all repaired, but they were just muddy roads.
Yu Wan knocked on the door, went in, and walked directly to the field.
The head of the farm here was a 30-year-old man named Yang. When he saw Yu Wan coming, he immediately came over and said, "Miss, you are here."
Yu Wan hummed and said, "How many ponds are we going to dig?"
Yang Zhuangtou: "We are going to dig two. One is too big, so we will dig two diagonal ponds."
Yu Wan nodded and said, "Okay, that's a thoughtful idea."
Her idea was not wrong. Farming requires people who know how to farm.
