After the excitement, everyone calmed down their emotions.

With moist eyes, Zhao Baoshan just nodded frequently.

She secretly wiped her eyes, turned around, looked at Zhou Xiaochuan, and patted his shoulder vigorously.

Then he pointed to Sanxi and Yougen standing in front of him and said, "You have to remember his kindness, and you have to remember this kindness forever."

After speaking, he called the names of a large group of people one by one.

"You Zhao Dafan, Er Niu,...and you Zhao Baogen. You guys must remember him well. Not only them, but you guys, you must remember him in your heart."

In the end, I ordered a middle-aged man in his mid-thirties, who was of the same generation as Zhao Baoshan.

Everyone was silent for a while.

When Zhou Xiaochuan heard what he said, he already understood what it meant.

The people who were pointed out all have one characteristic, that is, they are bachelors and have no daughter-in-law.

Many of the Shanglin production team are bachelors.

Because here is too poor, very few people are willing to marry their daughters here to suffer.

It was better before.

Since those few years of drought, people have become less willing to marry their daughters over.

Even if they are willing, the food is not acceptable to ordinary people.

For ordinary production teams, the dowry is as long as 100 catties of grain and ten or so quick money.

The production team in the forest only needs 50 catties of grain. Because life is better there.

But the Shanglin production team doesn't have 200 catties of grain, so don't think about it.

These foods don't look like much.

However, if the Shanglin production team does not reduce production, each person's annual ration is less than 300 catties, which is barely enough to support themselves, so there is no food for their wives.

When there is little rainfall, there is no food in the house.

It is better if there are daughters who are about the same age in the family. You can find a daughter-in-law for your son through a marriage exchange.

There are few daughters, or the daughters are underage. Then just wait.

This is also the reason why people like Sanxi are already in their twenties, yet they haven't gotten a daughter-in-law.

Even Zhao Dafan, the captain of the militia, did not get a wife.

Not to mention other people.

There is another Zhao Baogen who is thirty-five or sixteen years old and has a high seniority, but he has no food and has not taken a wife until now.

Zhou Xiaochuan has seen this person before, the people in the shoulder pole team work very hard.

I guess I just want to save enough money to get a daughter-in-law.

In fact, the fertility of the land in Shaanxi Province is not bad, and the soil is relatively fertile.

If there is water, there will be no reduction in production or even no harvest.

Having food means being able to eat enough, be able to marry a wife, and be able to pass on the family line.

For rural areas, food represents the future and hope.

Zhou Xiaochuan looked at the people in front of him, and there was something extra in the eyes of the crowd.

Light.

Or hope.

Feeling that the atmosphere was a bit dignified, he looked at Zhao Baoshan and smiled: "Captain Zhao, it's not that exaggerated, I can't bear it. It's better to let the villagers go back, don't delay the food collection."

Captain Zhao waved his hand at him when he heard the words, "I said I can afford it, but if you don't believe me, ask them if they can bear it?"

After finishing speaking, he yelled fiercely at the crowd, "You say you can bear it!"

"Affordable!"

Following Zhao Baoshan's words, there was an orderly shout from the crowd.

in the crowd.

Zhou Fenglan asked Li Guosheng and Zhang Aijun next to her, "Look, do you think you have the right to compete with him as a teacher?"

Hearing his words, both Li Guosheng and Zhang Aijun fell silent.

Did not speak.

Zhao Baoshan looked at the crowd and said to Zhao Dafan who was next to him: "I'll go back and kill 3, not 5 sheep. Let everyone have a full meal. And this doesn't count as the sheep at the end of the year."

The children cheered for a while when they heard the words, because there was meat to eat.

The adults are a little hesitant.

This kill is too much.

Zhao Baoshan smiled when he saw this, and asked: "We are reluctant to eat sheep and sell them at the purchasing station. Why?"

Everyone rolled their eyes when they heard this, and smiled.

Of course it was sold for money.

Seeing this, Zhao Baoshan smiled, "Sell for money! Yes, sell for money, but some time ago, the medicinal materials we sold were enough to sell a dozen sheep. Just think we have sold sheep once. So don't feel bad .But just this time! There will be no next time.”

After hearing his words, everyone laughed.

"Okay, let's all go back. Don't delay the time to pay the public rations."

Everyone felt distressed when they saw so much water flowing outside.

But there is no way now.

Then they all dispersed.

Zhou Xiaochuan looked at Xiaocao who was waving to him, and prepared to leave with him.

"Xiao Chuan, don't worry, wait a minute."

Captain Zhao stopped him who was about to leave.

Hearing this, Zhou Xiaochuan gestured to Xiaocao, and then walked to Captain Zhao's side.

"What's wrong?"

At this time, everyone had already left, including Sanxi and Yougen.

Only Captain Zhao and Accountant Feng were left.

"This won't be out of water in the future."

Captain Zhao looked at the well that was gradually receding, and asked again.

Hearing his words, Zhou Xiaochuan shook his head lightly.

"No, when the ground is dug through, there will be no shortage of water here."

With his affirmation, Captain Zhao heaved a sigh of relief.

"What do you think will happen here in the future?"

"Yeah, I see that the report you wrote to me before is quite farsighted, and you give it to the staff."

Zhou Xiaochuan looked around after hearing the words.

Then fell into deep thought.

While the two were waiting anxiously, he said slowly: "There are a few suggestions, how to implement them depends on you."

Captain Zhao and Accountant Feng nodded without speaking, motioning for him to continue.

Seeing this, Zhou Xiaochuan continued:

"The water here is flowing water after it comes out. Dig a canal to the other side of the field to irrigate the farmland directly.

Of course, because of the water level, the bottom half can only be irrigated directly, and the other half must be picked.

So it is necessary to dig a wider and deeper canal in the middle of the field. When it is sealed, it is convenient to carry water.

Another point is that the water is flowing, so it will flow out continuously. In order to avoid waste, I suggest building a small reservoir or a large pond. If there is water, fish can be raised.

And the fish dung dug up can also be used as fertilizer. So I feel this is necessary.

If it is a reservoir, it will be built here~lightnovelpub.net~ If the water output is sufficient, small hydropower stations are not impossible.

As for whether the pond should be built here, or under that field, or even dig a canal to lead to the side where we live, you can decide for yourself.

Another point is, with the water, have you considered opening up wasteland within the scope of your ability? This is also a way to increase grain. But this can wait until later, when the population of your village increases. "

Hearing Zhou Xiaochuan's words, both of them fell into deep thought.

Looking at the two men who were thinking, he didn't say anything more.

These are all he can think of, and there must be other good ways.

But there was only so much he could think of for now.
