Chapter 197 It finally rained
Chapter 197 It finally rained
Su Wanwan was also happy, because this meant that there would be no problems with the pipes in the workshop.
Sure enough, the craftsmen in ancient times were also very capable.
"Brother Yuan, when I get back I'll build a toilet like yours in our yard as a model. By the way, is that room on the other side a bathroom? Is there anything else needed in there?"
The toilet and bathroom are next to each other, separated by a wall.
But now it's empty.
Su Wanwan thought about it and immediately ran into the house to get out a blueprint.
She had drawn this a long time ago.
"This is a bathtub, and this is a cabinet. There is a bronze mirror on top, and toiletries are placed here..."
As Su Wanwan explained, Zhao Tianshi's eyes lit up.
My goodness, even the royal family and nobles in the capital can’t use such a nice bathroom.
"Take it back and make it first. When you have a sample, our business will be complete!"
Su Wanwan was also somewhat looking forward to it.
Zhao Tianshi held the blueprint in his arms like a treasure.
"Don't worry, sister-in-law, these are not difficult, I can definitely do it."
After saying this, they tried a few more times and found that there was indeed no leakage in the pipe. Shen Yuan then buried the pipe with Zhao Tianshi, and the project was temporarily completed.
"Brother Yuan, I'm going to do this when I get back. Have you discussed our cooperation with sister-in-law?"
Zhao Tianshi thought of this question before leaving and asked it immediately.
"Well, we'll take 20%."
Shen Yuan also wanted to talk to him about this. He had already discussed it with Wanwan. The cooperation with Zhao Tianshi did not require any money or effort, just providing drawings. Twenty percent would be enough.
When Zhao Tianshi heard this, he immediately shook his head:
"Twenty percent is too little."
Zhao Tianshi could already imagine how popular these bathroom products would be in the future. Not to mention the bathroom products, even the pipes had many uses.
"Don't refuse. We won't pay or work. You and your son will be responsible for everything from raw materials to final sales. Twenty percent is fine."
Shen Yuan didn't give him a chance to refuse and pushed him out.
In the future, if there is a business that requires them to invest money, in Wanwan's words, it is called investing money, so they can gain more.
Zhao Tianshi did not refuse anymore. He looked at the sky and got into the carriage reluctantly.
"By the way, please speed up those pipes. My workshop uses them a lot."
Shen Yuan gave some instructions.
"I know. Don't worry, Brother Yuan. We already have experience this time and can do it quickly."
Zhao Tianshi patted his chest and made the promise, driving the carriage towards the town, his heart pounding with excitement.
On June 25th, there was a strong wind and the sky became gloomy.
"It's going to rain. God has really opened his eyes!"
"Long live His Majesty! Your Majesty's prayer for rain has finally come true!"
"Great, we can finally go home!"
"Hurry up and make it rain harder."
"Oh my God, please get off quickly."
...........
The entire Tongxu County was in an uproar.
Even though the heavy rain had not yet come, people had already started running outside to thank God for his grace.
Some people even cried for joy.
Su Wanwan was also very happy. What Shen Yuan said was right. Since the emperor had gone to offer sacrifices to heaven, it would definitely rain.
Now she no longer has to secretly release water into the pond.
The two little guys were also dancing with joy and running around in the yard.
Shen Yuan ran to the wasteland to resettle the refugees.
If it rains heavily, the original thatched hut will naturally not be able to block the rain. Fortunately, Shen Yuan had anticipated this and cleaned up several abandoned houses in the village.
Some of the owners of these houses are no longer around, while others have moved to towns or county towns.
Those who had no household contacted the village head, and those who had a household paid a copper coin to rent a house.
Since we have employed those refugees, we cannot let them get wet in the wind and rain.
The villagers were also outside excitedly, no one went back home, the whole village was bustling with activity.
The refugees on the wasteland were crying with joy, and several old ladies were kneeling on the ground, as if praying for rain.
"Boss, it's going to rain soon, can you find us a place to hide from the rain?"
Lin Yi, who was in the lead, stood up with a worried look on his face.
This boy was hardworking and honest. He was the one who led everyone over mountains and across rivers to Daliushu Village. Shen Yuan observed him for a few days and admired him very much, so he promoted him to be a contractor.
Yes, as Wanwan said, it is equivalent to a contractor, responsible for all aspects of the project.
Facts have proved that with Lin Yi in control, he really saved himself a lot of worries.
"I've already thought about this. There are five houses in the village. It should be enough for you to squeeze in and get through the rainy days for now."
Shen Yuan cleared his throat and continued:
"It's going to rain soon. After the rain stops, if any of you want to go back home, just tell Lin Yi and you can leave. If you don't want to go back home right away, you can stay and work, and your wages will remain the same."
Some refugees were eager to return home, so he certainly wouldn't stop them.
And now that it rains, we can start sowing. As a farmer, I probably don’t want to miss it.
However, some people even ate the seeds, and didn't know what to plant when they returned. It all depended on how the imperial court would arrange their arrangements.
Sure enough, when people heard this, some were happy while others were at a loss.
"Master, I won't leave. I want to stay and finish the work. I won't have any food or seeds when I go back. How will I survive?"
Lin Yi made the decision first.
"But what if the imperial court distributes grain seeds?"
Some people hesitated.
If we miss the planting season, we will have no food to eat until next summer. How will we survive?
"You guys go and settle down first, and think about it carefully in the next few days. No matter whether you stay or go, we won't force you to do so."
Shen Yuan looked at the sky, and saw that the dark clouds were almost overhead. He immediately called Shen Su and Shen Liang to take them to the deserted house.
The refugees automatically divided into five groups. There was a house that happened to be close to him, so he led this group there.
Zhao Yuanyuan was quick-witted and pulled her aunt and cousin into the crowd.
Lin Yi looked at Zhao Yuanyuan and followed.
Before we reached the place, raindrops as big as beans began to fall.
"It's raining, it's raining!"
"Haha, great, it's raining!"
.......
Cheers resounded through the sky, and despite being soaked to the skin, everyone still danced happily in the rain.
After a long drought, the rain began to nourish the cracked land.
Shen Yuan didn't urge them. Pressure needed to be released, and emotions also needed to be released.
He also looked up at the sky. Drops of rain fell on his face, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
It's over, it's finally over.
Zhao Yuanyuan continued to rub the rain water on his face and finally washed it clean. He looked at the man in front and suddenly walked forward.
There were a few people jumping around behind Shen Yuan, so she squeezed in between them. When one of them wasn't paying attention, she bumped into him and fell towards Shen Yuan.
