Chapter 290 Vicious Female Supporting Escapes to Farm (40)

  After figuring it out, Li Yuanjin laughed and scratched his head: "I said, no matter how bad the harvest is, the lady won't be able to dance to the gods!"

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

   "It's useful! Uncle Mancang said that if you persevere every day, your waist and back pain will be cured. Aunt Lihua said that her neck is no longer stiff, and her work is easier. Uncle Big Niu said..."

   Li Yuanjin heard it, so what are you waiting for! He took Erlang to the open space next to the house and asked him to teach himself.

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

   "I will help your sister-in-law, you teach me first."

   Paused: "What? Didn't you listen to what Big Brother said?"

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

   Wait, it seems that it is not higher than that, and it is always ranked first from the bottom.

  Li Yuanjin barely learned a set of radio exercises, and Fang Erlang left.

  He slid to Xu Yin's side: "Lady, I'll settle the bricks and tiles for these two trips."

   "Are you building a house?"

"The last time I took it to build a room, first it was used as a grain storage for grain and grass. I heard from local old farmers that the weather this year is a bit abnormal. It has not rained for a long time before, and it only rained a little. I am worried about flooding in the future. Take advantage of the fine weather to drain the water. After the ditch was dug, a big deep pond was dug to raise fish. The soldiers all praised me for being blessed, and said that I was lucky enough to marry a lady. Hehe..."

  This thick-skinned person always deviates from the topic every time he talks about business.

   However, there is a message in his words—

   "Has there been any floods in this area in the past?"

"There was a disturbance more than ten years ago." When Li Yuanjin mentioned this, his expression became solemn, "That time, there was also a drought for half a year, and then it rained for a month, and the low-lying villages were flooded. Only one life was saved by finding a cave at the top of the mountain. This was luck, and many people were washed away by the flood before reaching the top of the mountain. That’s why the old local farmers said that the weather this year was abnormal, and worried that the natural disasters more than ten years ago would repeat themselves.”

  Xu Yin's heart trembled.

   All along, she has been preventing droughts, thinking about working hard until next spring, when the disaster will be lifted and the people will return to their original lives. She grows herbs and picks tea, and while completing system tasks, strives to live a prosperous life.

   I didn't expect floods to happen.

   Flood protection... Flood protection...

  Her consciousness constantly refreshes the system mall, searching for related tools or skill books.

   When I was about to run out of refresh times for the day, I finally found a flood control manual.

  500 points was a thin booklet, Xu Yin bought it without thinking.

   After reading ten lines at a glance, I have an idea in my heart.

   "I'll go with you to see if there is any suitable site for kiln construction around the army. It's too inefficient for you to go back and forth. Build a kiln and burn bricks as soon as possible, burn more bricks, and consolidate the embankment."

   Li Yuanjin naturally agreed.

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

  Send Erlang to Master to study on the way.

  Xu Yin did not break her promise, and rewarded him with a piece of silver, and encouraged him to combine work and rest. It is best to teach his master to do radio exercises, and he will be rewarded when he comes back.

  Hearing this, Erlang, who was a little envious of his third sister being able to go to the military camp but he couldn't, let go of his depressed expression and happily went to school.

  Xu Yin thought that even if this kid gets a good name in the future, he won't become a corrupt official, right? Such a love of money at such a young age.

   This will not work!

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

  Flood prevention measures should be put in place now.

  Afforestation needless to say, this is a long-term task, and it will remain a basic national policy for future generations.

   Calculating the time, if the plot does not deceive her, it will start to rain heavily in the beginning of spring, and it will be at least three months away from now, enough for the planted trees to take root.

  Xu Yin asked Li Yuanjin to mobilize Xiumu's soldiers to plant trees on the mountain. Of course, it would be even better if the locals were willing to participate, as there are more people and more strength.

  After inspecting the terrain around the barracks, Xu Yin selected a leeward angle not far from the river bank.

  The area at the junction of Tongxing Mansion and Dongxuan Mansion is not as rainy as the city of Dongxuan Mansion, the water level of the river is shallow, and the stream on the mountain is thin, but it is not a problem for the daily life of 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 channel connecting with the mountain stream and strengthen the embankment, that she brought her third sister back home. Hope Village.

  If floods are coming, Hope Village has to prepare early.

  Chaishan has cleared a number of dead branches and shrubs and planted tea trees, but there is still half of the mountain that has not been cleared.

  She went up the mountain every day after finishing her work in the medicine field, followed the hired workers to clean up, and planted trees while cleaning.

   Tea trees are planted on the south **** in the sun, and fir trees are planted in the shade on the north slope.

  Where do the fir saplings come from?

  Go out for a trip and bring back a carload of excellent cedar saplings produced by the system.

   Waiting for Chaishan to take on a new look, it will be a month later.

  In this month, families in Hope Village lived in brick houses.

  The people in the village at the foot of the mountain went up the mountain to do something, and they were stunned when they saw it:

   Isn’t this a victim who fled famine? Come here to open up a wasteland and build a brick house? Have money but nowhere to spend it?

  As soon as I inquired, it turned out that the bricks and tiles were fired in the kiln built by Hope Village under the guidance of the village chief.

   Then they inquired about the price of bricks and tiles. If they were not expensive, they also wanted to push the mud house over the brick house.

  Shi Fengnian happily ran to Xu Yin, saying that he had received another order.

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

"Tongxing Mansion has been in a drought until now, 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 can't take it lightly, so all the bricks that will be burned next will be pulled away. Reinforce the embankment to prevent the river from flooding the fields."

  People in Hope Village, don’t listen to her anymore. After all, there is nothing to do in the field after the autumn harvest, and they are worried about having nothing to do. When they heard that there will be a dry meal for participating in flood control, they all flocked to sign up.

  Xu Yin cooks in the morning, and distributes the meals with a trolley to the river embankment at noon; in the afternoon, she leads the women left behind to weave nets and sew sandbags.

   In this way, they worked together and worked in full swing for half a month. A large pile of sandbags was sewn and stacked at the entrance of the village.

  The river channel was widened, the embankment was reinforced, the brick-built river bank was protected by a large hand-woven net, and the field ditches were dredged.

The people in the village at the foot of the mountain heard that these fleeing famines were working on the river, saying that after a severe drought, there would be a severe flood. Reinforce it, and everyone sneered: If you have this spare time, why not go to the mountains a few times and catch some wild game to have a good year!

  Including the head of the village who manages them thinks so: "Nonsense! Since our ancestors settled down for generations, there has never been a flood in our area. Don't listen to their nonsense! It's really an escape from famine and addiction."

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