Zhong Xingwang finally understood why the fruit trees were growing so well—their irrigation system had its secrets.
Mr. Mo, a rural child, saw such a water source installation on the mountain for the first time. It looked like ordinary bamboo pipes were used, but actually it also took some manpower and material resources.
It was quite difficult for an average peasant family to do this by themselves, and hiring help was costly, indeed only bosses and landlords could afford to pay people to do it.
And it was only bosses and landlords who had the strength to run estates; for an average peasant, being able to cultivate a little land was already good, it seemed that to become wealthy in the countryside, one needed a financial foundation to start with.
Zhong Xingwang looked at the method of making the water system and thought that bamboo pipes might be the cheapest way; using wood or metal would cost even more.
Without this method, one could also use manual labor to water, but in the current heat, the manpower used would probably not be compensated by the sale of the fruits.
If one bought paddy fields to plant fruit trees, the irrigation would be somewhat more convenient, but planting fruit trees in paddy fields would also waste the paddy fields; one could not plant grains, and secondly, the price of land was high.
Using barren hills to plant fruit trees was a good idea for getting rich, but one had to have experience to do it well.
