?Chapter 542: Chapter 542 Solving Problems for Him_1 Chapter 542: Chapter 542 Solving Problems for Him_1 On the day An Jing asked Meng Zhuqing to hire people for irrigation, she and Xiao Changyi exclaimed, “It would be good to have a waterwheel. There’s no need for manual labor, just use the waterwheel to transfer water from the river to the channels and then to the fields. It’s not only convenient but also easier on the people.”

“A waterwheel?”

“Yes, a waterwheel. I remember my grandfather’s house had a hand-cranked Dragon Bone Waterwheel. The structure isn’t complicated. I didn’t expect the heat to last this long. If I had known, I would have drawn the Dragon Bone Waterwheel earlier and had a carpenter make one. It’s too late to irrigate the fields today, but when Meng Zhuqing comes back, we’ll have him take the design to a carpenter to make one.”

After pausing, An Jing continued, “Actually, it doesn’t matter right now that we don’t have a waterwheel since we currently hire people to irrigate the fields, and you don’t have to do it. I’m thinking of making a waterwheel mainly to facilitate our future. Our days ahead are still long, and we may encounter droughts like this again. Having a waterwheel ready wouldn’t hurt at all.”
