Transmigrated To Ancient Time: Thrive With An Auction System!-Chapter 184: Level One ( 1 )

Early the next morning, a large group of villagers went to the mountain areas to gather bamboo.

Although the bamboo growing in the southern area of the mountain was not as good as before due to the drought, it was good enough to be used as water pipes.

While the villagers didn’t know how to make the so-called water pipes, they knew that to make a good tool or piece of furniture, they needed old and sturdy bamboo. So, the bamboo they chose was of good quality.

At the same time, the people who were going to dig wells and ponds arrived in the wasteland area. They checked the terrain for several hours before deciding on two locations. After they marked the areas, they started to work.

As for those who were hired to dig ponds, they went to inspect the area.

After a long discussion, they decided on the area bordering Yao Zhi’s land and the mountains. Considering the distance, it shouldn’t be a problem to draw water from the mountain spring.

As for the size of the ponds, they learned from Yang Dalang that Yao Zhi wanted to raise fish and grow lotus. So, they decided to dig them in a square shape, covering an area of 400 square meters.

To make sure that the water supply was enough for 210 acres of land, they dug a total of 20 ponds.

Since this project could be counted as a large-scale project, even people from neighboring villages heard about it. Those with a good relationship with the Yang Village’s villagers also came to work.

While everyone was working with enthusiasm, Yao Zhi was discussing the bamboo water pipe with Yang Dalang and his brothers.

"Brother Dalang, this is the design for the water pipe and the method on how to build it."

Hearing this, Yang Dalang looked at the paper. He went to school for a few years when he was young and knew some words, so it wasn’t a problem for him to read. However, when he read the method, there were many words he couldn’t recognize.

Noticing this, Yao Zhi explained the method to him. When she was done, she asked, "Brother Dalang, do you think this method is plausible?"

Hearing this, Yang Dalang nodded and replied, "Sister Yao, this is not only plausible, but it’s basically amazing!"

He clicked his tongue and added, "I never expected that we could use this way to irrigate the fields."

"This irrigation system can be used for low-quality land, but it can’t be used on the wasteland because of the sandy soil. For the wasteland, we need to use wet and dry methods, so we can only irrigate it manually," Yao Zhi reminded him.

After she said this, the Yang family looked at her with various expressions. The Village Chief nodded and said, "Yao Girl, you are indeed the daughter of an Xiucai. You have a lot of knowledge."

"Village Chief, you are overpraising me. I just like to read miscellaneous books. I once read this method in one of the books. It has been so long, but fortunately, I can still recall the method," Yao Zhi replied with a slight smile.

Seeing her humble attitude, the Village Chief was satisfied. Compared to her arrogant attitude before, her current personality was much better.

After she finished discussing the water pipe method, she continued, "Village Chief, I also have a method to improve the soil quality, but I need a large amount of compost."

"Sister Yao, what is compost?" Yang Erlang asked.

"Well, it’s basically fertilizer made from twigs, dry leaves or straw, and kitchen waste or fruit and vegetable scraps. Almost anything can be used to make compost."

Hearing this, everyone nodded. They often used rotten leaves to fertilize their land, but they didn’t have a method like hers.

Since they didn’t know how to make compost, Yao Zhi showed them the method and explained it in detail. It took several hours before they finished their discussion.

"Yao Girl, can I teach the villagers how to make this compost?" the Village Chief asked. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

Yao Zhi nodded and replied, "Village Chief, this method is also from a miscellaneous book. Since its knowledge was passed down by a sage, it’s only right to spread it so it can benefit more people."

Seeing how generous she was, everyone’s impression of her improved significantly.

Before leaving, she added, "Village Chief, you can keep the methods on how to build the bamboo water pipe, compost, and how to improve the soil quality. If there’s a chance, you can share them with other village chiefs."

"Our well water is brackish water. Consuming it for a long time will harm our health. If the villagers can get water from the mountain springs, it will lower the possibility of them getting sick," she reminded him.

The Village Chief nodded and agreed readily. "Then, I will visit my friends and share the methods."

Yao Zhi nodded and left the Village Chief’s house.

After she left, the Village Chief took the methods and went to visit his friends. As for the Yang brothers, they already knew how to make the bamboo water pipes after Yao Zhi’s explanation, so they went to the mountain foothills area.

While everyone was busy working, four days passed in the blink of an eye.

Early in the morning, Yao Zhi was woken up by a series of notification sounds echoing in her mind.

Ding! Ding! Ding!

Feeling annoyed, she opened her eyes and asked, "System, can’t you stop issuing so many notifications? Can’t you let me sleep a little bit longer?"

As soon as she finished speaking, a blue screen popped up in front of her. Yao Zhi glanced at the screen and let out a long sigh.

Pushing herself up, she rubbed her eyes before checking the notifications.
