After Crossing, and Husband Brought Hundreds of Millions of Supplies To Farm

   Chapter 207 Give Up

   After he left, Zhou Ying turned around and went to the kitchen to get busy. At noon, she told Gu Chengrui to tell him not to go to the doctor in the afternoon.

   In the evening, Zhou Huaiming brought the magistrate Kong over to have a meal. After the two were sure that the shopkeeper Liu would come to pick them up later, they rushed to the carriage to take them to the village.

   Of course, the husband and wife also knew about the fact that Qiao Lansheng and others were cleaned up.

After    arrived home, Zhou Ying prepared some snacks and tea, and Gu Chengrui went to invite the village chief and the patriarch over.

The patriarch and the village chief learned from Gu Chengrui that when Zhou Huaiming came here for the blueprint of the waterwheel, he was a little unwilling to tell the truth. After all, this is really a way to make a fortune. .

   But they also know that this year's time is not good, and they can't do it with their manpower. In order to save thousands of families, they can only reluctantly give up.

   Maybe because of this, they can still get some rewards for the village.

Because they had both met Zhou Huaiming and Magistrate Kong when the restaurant opened, so after entering the room, without Gu Chengrui introducing them, they stepped forward and knelt down and said, "Caomin Qian Pinggui (Gu Qingzhi) has seen General Zhou, Lord Kong. "

   "Get up, you are the village chief of this village and the patriarch of the Gu clan?" Zhou Huaiming said.

   "Yes, Caomin Qian Pinggui is the village head." The village head stepped forward.

   "Caomin Gu Qingzhi is the patriarch of the Gu clan." The patriarch followed and stepped forward.

   "Sit down." Zhou Huaiming pointed at the two high stools Zhou Ying had prepared earlier.

   "General Xie." After the two bowed again, they came over and sat down.

   Zhou Huaiming made a few polite words when he saw this, and asked them how many days they could make a waterwheel before finally saying, "I think Brother Gu has already told you what I mean, I don't know what you think."

  The patriarch and the village chief immediately sang in a high-profile voice: "This is a good thing for the country and the people, and we fully support it."

   "Two Gaoyi, then I won't say more.

   Next, the county will quickly promote waterwheels, you can continue to do it, but the price must be lowered, and the profit per unit should not exceed five taels. "

   "As for the money that has been paid before, the county will make up the money, and you don't need to return it." The magistrate Kong agreed at this time.

   "So, we are making waterwheels for the county?" The village chief looked up at the two and asked.

   "Yes, except for those who have placed orders, they will be made and distributed by the county."

   "Understood, what about transportation...?"

   "What you do naturally has to be installed by you, so it's up to you to arrange, and the county will not interfere."

   "Xie county magistrate." The village chief was relieved, at least they could make some money for installation and transportation.

   After a few polite words, the group went to the woodwork workshop to get the blueprints.

   After shopkeeper Liu brought a few carpenters to visit the waterwheel, the group sent them out of the village.

   "Hey, only eight units were sold. We knew that this day would come so quickly, we should have made a few more units overnight." Uncle Gu said with a gloomy face.

   "Just be content, we can continue to do it next." The patriarch glared at him angrily.

   "I think it's a good thing. In this way, the grain production in the entire north will increase, and our life will be easier." Gu Chengrui replied.

   "That's right. Judging from this year's situation, it is certain that there will be no rain to reduce production. If water can be supplied, at least there will be some harvest." The village chief nodded in agreement after hearing this.
