"Everyone, go back and rest first, Armin, and pay everyone's wages." Ian stood at the top and said: "Tomorrow, Mr. Hannis will show the waterwheel to everyone in the pioneering land. I hope you can all come and see it."

The tired workers dispersed. Although they were physically tired, their eyes were no longer as dark as dead water, but became bright and lively.

"This farm tool is really awesome!"

"Thank you for your hard work, I didn't expect such a clever structure!"

"There will definitely be a bumper harvest of food this year!"

After everyone else left, Ian asked Mikasa to take the children to watch the waterwheel, and take Eren and Armin to find Hannis.

"I'm not very familiar with Mr. Hannis. It's up to you this time. We must let him become our spokesperson. Otherwise, it will be impossible for us children to promote the waterwheel before the end of spring. We Make good use of Mr. Hannis’s connections.”

"Leave it to us!" Armin patted Ian on the shoulder: "We will definitely convince Mr. Hannis."

"That coward, if he dares not to come, I will beat him up!" Allen said indignantly.

Allen will never forget the scene when his mother was crushed under the collapsed house when the giants attacked.

As a trained soldier, Hannis clearly had a chance to save his mother, but Hannis was a coward. The coward did not have the courage to fight the giant. Allen could only watch the giant eat his mother.

Ian put his hand on Allen's shoulder: "Don't be too impulsive. We are going to Hannis for help. Let Armin do the talking. You can just stand by."

Allen's personality is really not suitable for negotiating with other people. This guy is too angry and aggressive, and it is easy to quarrel.

Ian brought Allen here because Hannis felt guilty about Allen. He just hoped that Allen would stand aside as a mascot and not make things worse.

"I know." Allen pursed his lips: "I haven't been in a daze these past few days, so I won't cause trouble."

"You have grown up too." Ian smiled: "Come on."

The three of them found Hannis at the soldier garrison on the outskirts of the pioneering area. He was a blond man with a crew cut, wearing the uniform of the garrison regiment, drinking alone.

Hannes looked extremely decadent. He hadn't taken care of his personal hygiene for a long time. He had a stubble in his beard, his hair was shiny and greasy, and he smelled of alcohol and sweat.

"Mr. Hannis! Mr. Hannis!" Armin waved to Hannis.

"Armin?" Hannis put down the bottle of wine in his hand and said drunkenly, "Are you in any trouble?"

Armin shook his head: "We have something that we want Mr. Hannis to see."

"What? Wine?" Hannis yawned: "Do you want to drink too? No, Armin, you are still a child."

"Are you here to get pocket money from me?" Hannis rummaged in his pocket and took out a handful of copper coins: "Take it and use it. If anyone dares to bully you, tell me my name."

When Allen saw Hannis's appearance, he vaguely clenched his fists. Ian pulled him and shook his head.

Not everyone has the courage to face the giant. There is nothing wrong with Hannis running away. It is normal for him to degenerate into what he is now.

"I don't want your wine, Mr. Hannes." Armin waved his hand: "Anyway, come with us first. You will understand after seeing it."

Hannis giggled hahaha: "Armin, why did you become two people?"

It wasn't until Hannis turned his head and saw Allen's stern face that he suddenly stopped smiling and twitched as if he had seen something terrible.

"You are very free now." Alan said coldly: "If you are very free, come with us."

Hannis was silent, and stood up under Allen's pull.

"So. What exactly do you want us to see?" Hannis sobered up a little and didn't know where Alan and Armin were going to take him.

"You'll find out after you go and see it." Allen pulled his clothes hard.

In the distance, Hannis saw the wooden wheel that turned the wheel.

Allen took him to the wooden wheel. Mikasa, wearing a scarf, stood next to the wooden wheel and said hello to Hannis, but Hannis's attention was completely attracted by the water wheel.

"What is this? When was it made? Why wasn't I notified?"

"This is called a waterwheel." Armin introduced: "It is a farm tool that was just completed today. It can be turned without manpower to draw water out and irrigate farmland."

"No, I didn't mean that, person in charge! Where is the person in charge of this thing? Where are the craftsmen? Is it support sent by the government?" Hannis was a little incoherent.

"I am the person in charge of the water tanker." Ian stood in front of Hannis.

"You?" Hannis frowned: "Kid, go ahead, I'm looking for people from the government! Are there any new policies over there? Why don't we soldiers have any news?"

"It's true." Armin added: "Mr. Hannis, Ian is the person in charge of the waterwheel. From design to planning to recruiting workers, it can be said that Ian did it all by himself, without any help from the government. , this is a farm tool that we gathered carpenters from the pioneer land to make, and I’m afraid this is the first one in this world.”

"Armin" Hannis looked at Armin with an unbelievable look: "Are you even crazy?"

"You idiot!" Allen punched Hannis in the stomach: "Forget it about being timid, are you still a fool?"

"Look carefully! This thing is a farm tool made by us children!"

After a lot of explanations, towards dusk, Hannis finally believed that the waterwheel was built by Ian and others, and also understood that Ian wanted to find him as a spokesperson.

"Are you the legendary genius?" Hannis looked at Ian's face and sat cross-legged on the ground: "This thing is indeed very helpful for agriculture. I know, I will help, tomorrow, right, I will The residents announced that the water tanker was completed.”

"Excuse me, Mr. Hannes." Ian said with a smile.

Hannes is a simple-minded person, so he doesn't need to explain too much, which is his advantage.

Ian planned to cooperate with him step by step. It was too far to tell Hannes that his peanut-sized brain couldn't understand it. All he had to do was let him understand that it was right to follow his own rhythm. Let him Trust yourself and Hannes will become a partner.

Just as Ian thought, this man is an emotional man. Rather than thinking with his brain, he prefers to charge with the team.

As long as Hannis sees the usefulness of the waterwheel, he will come to help. He is not inherently bad, but his ability is too weak to do anything big.

But everyone has their own uses. What Ian needs most now is a spokesperson like Hannis. With Hannis, his core-making career has taken a big step forward.

"Mr. Hannis, please come with us to the development site to promote it, and let the residents gather by the river tomorrow morning." Ian said.

"No problem." Hannis nodded: "Let's go now."

Hannis was easily fooled into joining this team. He did not worry about how exquisite the structure of the waterwheel was, and where Ian and others got the money to build the waterwheel.

He just thought that with this thing, the wheat would sprout quickly, so that in the autumn, everyone would have enough to eat.
