Chapter 290 The vicious female partner escapes to farm (40)

After figuring it out, Li Yuanjin laughed and scratched his head: "Let me tell you, no matter how bad the harvest is, my wife won't be able to dance like a goddess!"

He asked Erlang again: "Is this really that useful?"

“It works! Uncle Mancang said that if he persisted every day, his back pain was gone. Aunt Lihua said that her neck was no longer stiff and her work became easier. Uncle Danniu said..."

Once Li Yuanjin heard this, what are you waiting for? Take Erlang to the open space next to the house and let him teach you.

Erlang: "...Brother, I have to help my sister-in-law collect potatoes!"

“I will help you at your sister-in-law’s place, you teach me first.”

　　paused: "What? Brother, you don't even listen to what you say?"

 His family status is really getting lower and lower...

 Hand on, it doesn’t seem to be higher, and it is always ranked first from the bottom.

Li Yuanjin reluctantly learned a set of broadcasting exercises and let Erlang leave.

He nudged up to Xu Yin and said, "Madam, I'll pay for the bricks and tiles for these two trips."

 “Are you building a house?”

"The one we moved last time built a room and used it as a granary to store grain and grass. I heard from local farmers that the weather this year is a bit abnormal. It has not rained before, and it only rained a little. I am worried about flooding in the future. We will drain the water while the weather is clear. The ditch was dug and a large deep pond was dug to raise fish. The soldiers all praised me for being lucky and said that I was lucky enough to marry a wife. Hehe..."

This shameless person always goes off topic when talking about serious matters.

However, there is a message in his words -

 “Have there been any floods in this area in the past?”

"There was a riot more than ten years ago." Li Yuanjin said with a solemn expression, "That time there was also a drought for half a year, and then it rained for a month. The low-lying villages were flooded. I managed to save my life by seeking refuge in a cave on the top of the mountain. This was good luck, as many people were washed away by floods before they reached the top of the mountain. That’s why local old farmers said that the weather this year was abnormal and they were worried about a recurrence of the natural disasters more than ten years ago."

 Xu Yin's heart was trembling.

 All along, she has been preventing droughts, thinking of trying hard to survive until spring next year, when the disaster will be over and the people can return to their original lives. She collects various herbs and teas, and while completing the system tasks, she strives to live a prosperous life.

  I never thought that floods might happen.

Flood prevention…flood prevention…

 She constantly refreshes the system mall and searches for related tools or skill books.

 When I was almost running out of refreshes for the day, I finally found a flood prevention manual.

With 500 points in a thin booklet, Xu Yin bought it without any consideration.

 After reading ten lines at a glance, I had an idea in my mind.

“I’ll go with you to see if there is any suitable site for building a kiln around the army. It’s too inefficient for you to come here and there. Build a kiln and burn bricks as soon as possible, burn a lot of bricks, and strengthen the river embankment.”

 Li Yuanjin naturally agreed.

 So after harvesting the potatoes and sweet potatoes, Xu Yin took her third sister and went to the military camp with Li Yuanjin.

Sent Erlang to the Confucius to study on the way.

Xu Yin did not break her promise, rewarded him with a piece of silver, and encouraged him to combine work and rest. It would be best to teach the master how to do broadcasting exercises, and there will be another reward when he comes back.

Once he heard this, Erlang, who was a little envious that his third sister could go to the military camp but he couldn't, wiped away his depressed expression and went to school happily.

Xu Yin thought that even if this guy gets a job in the future, he won't become a corrupt official, right? He loves money so much at such a young age.    This won't work!

 When he comes back next time, he must be brainwashed.

 At the moment, take flood prevention measures in place.

Needless to say, afforestation is a long-term task and will remain a basic national policy for future generations.

Calculating the time, if the plot doesn't deceive her, it will start raining heavily in spring. It will be at least three months from now, enough for the planted trees to take root.

Xu Yin asked Li Yuanjin to mobilize Xiu Mu’s soldiers to plant trees on the mountain. Of course, it would be better if the locals were willing to participate. There is strength in numbers.

 After inspecting the terrain around the military camp, Xu Yin selected a leeward corner not far from the river bank.

Although the area at the junction of Tongxing Prefecture and Dongxuan Prefecture does not have as much rainfall as in Dongxuan Prefecture, the river water level is shallow, and the mountain streams are thin, it is not a problem to provide daily life for the local people.

Xu Yin stayed in a small village outside the military camp for seven or eight days. It was not until the military camp built a kiln and fired the first batch of bricks, and taught them how to widen the river connecting the mountain stream and strengthen the river embankment, that she took Sanmei back. Hope Village.

 If a flood is coming, Hope Village must prepare early.

Chaishan has cleared a number of dead shrubs and planted tea trees, but half of the mountain has not yet been cleared.

　　After finishing her work in the medicine field every day, she would go up to the mountain and clean up with the hired workers, planting trees while doing so.

Tea trees are planted on the southern **** facing the sun, while fir trees are planted on the northern **** facing the sun.

 Where did the cedar saplings come from?

 I went out for a trip and brought back a cart of high-quality fir saplings produced by the system.

It has been a month since Chaishan took on a new look.

This month, every family in Hope Village has moved into brick houses.

 People from the village at the foot of the mountain went up the mountain for business and were shocked when they saw:

Aren’t these victims fleeing famine? Come here to create a wasteland and build a brick house? You have money and nowhere to spend it?

When I asked about it, I found out that the bricks and tiles were fired in the kiln that the village had built under the guidance of the village chief. I suddenly felt sour in my heart. Why didn't they have such a capable village chief or village chief?

 Then they asked about the price of bricks and tiles. If they were not expensive, they would also like to build a brick house instead of a mud one.

Shi Fengnian came to Xu Yin happily and said that he had secured another order.

Xu Yin said that she would not sell it for a short time, and the tiles were also suspended, and she would go all out to bake bricks.

"Tongxing Prefecture has been in drought for a long time, and the weather may change soon. There was a serious flood outside the city more than ten years ago. Although the terrain here is high, we cannot take it lightly, so all the bricks that will be burned next will be pulled away. Strengthen the river banks to prevent the river water from flowing back and destroying the fields.”

People in Hope Village don’t listen to her words anymore. After all, there is not much work in the fields after the autumn harvest, and they are worried about having nothing to do. When they heard that they would participate in the flood control management and have a good meal, they all rushed to sign up.

Xu Yin cooked in the morning, pushed the cart to the river embankment at noon and distributed meals; in the afternoon, she took the women left behind to weave nets and sew sandbags.

After working together and in full swing for more than half a month, we sewed a large pile of sandbags and stacked them at the entrance of the village.

The river channel was widened, the embankments were strengthened, hand-woven nets were used to protect the brick banks, and the ditches in the fields were dredged.

People in the village at the foot of the mountain heard that these people who were fleeing from famine were tinkering with the river channels, saying that severe droughts would be followed by severe floods. They also asked them if they wanted to widen the river channels in the village, the drainage ditches in front of and behind the houses, and the river embankments. Reinforcing it, everyone sneered: If you have this free time, you might as well go to the mountains a few times, catch some game, and live a good year!

　　Including the head of their village, they also think so: "It's nonsense! Our area has never had floods since our ancestors settled there for generations. Don't listen to their nonsense! It's really an addiction to escape from the famine."

Xu Yin listened to Wang Daniu who came down the mountain to return the farm tools and relayed the words of the director, and smiled helplessly: "Forget it, we have reminded them of everything we should, and there is nothing we can do if they don't want to listen."
