Chapter 636: Carrying water to the shore

That night, Wang Ping'an did not leave and kept waiting in the small village by the river. However, there was no place to live in the village, so he could only chat with Jiang Shuiqing in the yard.

Jiang Shuiqing is a very old-fashioned person. He is a person who doesn’t care about anything other than professional knowledge. Wang Ping'an talked about Chang'an’s customs and culture. He stared at Wang Ping'an without saying a word. Wang Ping'an had to chat with him about the water truck. As a result, Jiang Shuiqing went to see Boss Du and the others build the water truck, but instead started chatting with Boss Du and the others, but ignored Wang Ping'an.

Wang Ping'an was unable to do so, so he had to send someone to find other officials from the Ministry of Works. Assembling water trucks is a big deal. The more professionals, the better. Even if he can't provide any suggestions for improvement, he can at least help and get things done.

But after the officials of the Ministry of Works came, they did not chat with him to relieve their boredom, but went to look at the drawings and see Boss Du and others build water trucks.

There was no way, the night was long and there was no intention to sleep, so Wang Ping'an had to leave the yard and walk slowly, but there were too many dogs in the village, and it was endless torture when it was dark, which made people very upset. Wang Ping'an had to return to the Du family and simply asked someone to ignite a torch and go into the house to see the Du family's sister-in-law.

The Du family's sister-in-law's condition has already improved. She can not only sit up, but also walk around. When she saw Wang Ping'an coming in, she even wanted to boil water for Wang Ping'an. Wang Ping'an told her not to be busy. She had tuberculosis and the disease was contagious. He was embarrassed to say it clearly, but just implicitly told the Du family that she should not be tired, and it would be better not to cook and do physical work. When she is well, it is not too late to work at the home.

The Du family’s sister-in-law sat by the bed, while Wang Ping'an sat on a newly drawn stool and took her pulse for examination. After the examination, Wang Ping'an said: "Sister-in-law Du, your illness has improved, it is much faster than I originally thought."

The eldest sister-in-law of the Du family said, "Yes, the little woman also felt that her body was recovering very quickly. Seeing that the head of the family was busy, she had a smile on her face and had overnight food at home. The little woman's illness was cured faster. She felt hopeful and no longer wanted to die quickly."

Wang Ping'an nodded. He had provided psychological counseling to her when he was treating the Du family's sister-in-law. For tuberculosis, psychological auxiliary treatment is very important. It can give the patient confidence and give her the courage to survive. Otherwise, she will be in a bad mood and will be depressed and become sick even if she is not sick, let alone being seriously ill!

Wang Ping'an said: "You are not a serious illness. You will be cured as long as you take the medicine on time. At most, you can rest for a while and take good care of yourself. Will your hot flashes and night sweats improve?"

The sister-in-law of the Du family nodded quickly and said, "When you see that you are not completely cured, it is a big improvement compared to before. The little woman probably will be able to recover with a few doses of medicine."

Wang Ping'an thought to himself: "It's all good? That's not easy. It can only be improved gradually, especially after the conditioning, which is really calculated over the years."

He said, "Take another five doses. When your symptoms of hot flashes and night sweats disappear, I will prescribe a new prescription for you."

The Du family’s sister-in-law nodded repeatedly. She had not been so scary since she “knows” about her serious illness. She was not so terrible. She had started to improve after she had tuberculosis. Now Wang Ping'an said that taking five more doses would allow the symptoms to disappear, and she was in a better mood.

There were many torches outside the house, and the whole yard was full of people and loud noises. Everyone was busy. Wang Ping'an looked at the scene outside through the window and thought to himself: "I will be very busy for a while from now on. If I forget Sister Du, they will not remind me, wouldn't that delay her condition?"

Wang Ping'an said: "Sister Du, I'll show you another way to see what other symptoms are not seen before."

The Du family's sister-in-law stretched out her wrist again, and Wang Ping'an examined her again, which was more careful than before, and had more projects. It took a while before he finished the examination and smiled and said, "Fortunately, there are no hidden diseases. According to your condition, if you take five doses of medicine, the symptoms of hot flashes and night sweats will disappear, and other symptoms will be relieved, but if you want to fully recover, it still takes a long time to condition."

He shouted outside, and the official of the management department asked for paper and pen to prescribe a prescription for the Du family's sister-in-law. In fact, it was the prescription I prescribed earlier, but I just made adjustments again. Tuberculosis is a chronic disease. If a prescription is not modified, it would be too difficult to cure it. This time he removed the peony bark and the rehmannia skin, and added a hundred more potions.

Wang Ping'an handed the new prescription to the sister-in-law of the Du family and said, "Please hold it up. This prescription is not something you need to take now. I am afraid that I will not care about you and delay your condition at that time. After you take the medicine you are taking now, you will take this medicine again. This medicine will take for the first half of a month, and your cough and asthma symptoms can be relieved."

The Du family’s sister-in-law took the prescription and murmured: “That’s all, I have to take the medicine for another half a month. It’s very difficult to treat my disease!”

Wang Ping'an hurriedly comforted him: "It was not difficult to treat, but it was because it had been delayed for too long! Think about it, the disease came like a mountain of falling, and the disease was like a thread of tearing. You have been sick for two years. Now it has been cured, and it has not been two months. This is fast enough. What else do you want?" As he said, he showed an expression of "You are too unsatisfied."

The Du family’s sister-in-law smiled embarrassedly and said, “Yes, what the adults said is, the little woman is indeed a little anxious.”

Wang Ping'an said again: "When you finish taking the new prescription, you will ask your boss to come to me. If I am too busy and don't remember this, you must ask him to remind me that no matter how busy I am, I can squeeze out time to treat you. Then I will prescribe you again. We will cure this disease and we can't delay it anymore."

The sister-in-law of the Du family nodded repeatedly, and she couldn't delay any more, but she couldn't help asking: "But this medicine is money? The little woman takes medicine now, and it's really hard to delay it for a long time..."

Wang Ping'an stood up, pointed out the window and said, "Sister Du, look, as long as the new water truck is built, Boss Du will no longer be a poor person. I will not only double his wages, but also give him dividends. In just this year, you will have no worries about food and clothing in the rest of your life, and even your child's future life will be guaranteed."

After saying that, he comforted the Du family's sister-in-law and then left the yard to see Boss Du and the others build the water truck.

In fact, Boss Du and his team use assembly line operations. One person is responsible for creating something. The assembly line operation method does not need anyone to teach them. The wisdom of the working people is infinite. This is not a big truth. It is really a practice to produce true knowledge. Many parts of the water truck are repetitive, like the water bucket and the skeleton, so the division of labor and cooperation are more efficient. Boss Du and his team allocate their work much faster than Wang Ping'an thought.

After midnight, all the parts were built. Boss Du and his team couldn't wait for dawn, so they called the people of the village and carried the parts to the riverside together. Wang Ping'an called the guards and servants to help. He also carried a skeleton and transported them to the riverside with the villagers.

It is easy to do things with people. All the parts were transported to the riverside in just two trips. The water weirs had already been prepared by the river. All kinds of preparations were done in advance, and the water trucks were waiting for the arrival.

Boss Du and his team were very enthusiastic about their work. As soon as the things arrived, they immediately began to assemble them. The officials of the Ministry of Works also went up to help. They were all experienced people. Even if they had never seen such a wheeled water truck, they had seen all the keeled water trucks in the south. Everyone worked together to assemble them.

At dawn, everyone took a break and then worked again. They worked until afternoon. When the sun shone, the safe water truck was assembled and stood on the groove rack.

At this time, there were thousands of people coming to see the lively people from far and near. Almost all the people in nearby villages came, helping the elderly and young, and seeing the new water truck. The people were most concerned about this kind of thing. It was related to their lives and more interesting to them. The news of building water trucks in small villages by the river had long been spread throughout the four villages and eight villages. All the people knew that if Boss Du had not repeatedly stated that he did not need help, they would have come in batches to help build water trucks.

Boss Du held a wooden hammer with a layer of leather wrapped around it. He knocked it at the last slot and dozens of times, the slot was fixed. He shouted, "It's done!" Then he jumped away and was far away from the flood truck.

The people all widened their eyes and looked at the huge water truck, just like looking at a monster. Everyone's expressions were very nervous, and they were very anxious, afraid that the water truck would not turn!

Just heard a few creaking sounds, the Ping An Water Truck shook slightly at first, and then stopped moving!

Wang Ping'an's heart was beating wildly and thought to himself: "No, it won't fail, right? Don't fail. It's too time-consuming to build this thing!"

The people thought to themselves: "How can this thing be turned? It depends on the wind? There is no wind now!" Some people even puffed up their cheeks, just like blowing the stove, wanting to give some wind power to this windmill!

Boss Du thought to himself: "It's almost the same, there is a door, and it's no problem to assemble it when you hear the sound. The creaking sound is because there are still slots that are not completely fixed. As soon as it turns, it will naturally become tight, and the creaking sound will no longer occur!"

Officials from the Ministry of Works thought to themselves: "If it's done, this water truck will definitely be able to rotate, and it's absolutely impossible to be wrong!" They have seen too many water trucks, and as long as they hear the sound, they will know whether it will be successful!

The Ping An Water Truck stopped for a moment, gently turned, following the flow of the river, and it became faster and faster. Finally, the speed stabilized. The river water was lifted up from the river, and the water bucket scooped the river water, lifted the river water, turned it to the headspace and poured it into the sink, continuously flowing into the small canal!

"It's done, it's done!" The people shouted together, and applause was everywhere. Many people ran to the canal, picked up the water, and shouted loudly.

Boss Du and the carpenters sat down on the ground together, exhausted, but everyone was smiling happily and couldn't speak.
