Chapter 230: Natural Disasters, Man-made Disasters

With the aggravation of the disaster, the faces of the people around Liu He slowly lost their smiles, and the families began to worry about their rations, in order to stabilize people's thoughts, Liu He began to exchange grasshoppers for food, and the green seedlings were counted as labor, calculated according to the amount of harvest, and then these green seedlings were processed into green fodder.

Gradually, there are more people from other villages who come to replace food with grasshoppers and green seedlings, looking at the increase in the number of green seedlings in front of him, Liu He then arranged for personnel to go out to replace some livestock with grain, and the village began the cultivation of the second crop after the locusts, this time the cultivation is not for food, but to provide green fodder for livestock or something, Liu He now regrets why he didn't remember such a thing as locusts, if he remembered these things earlier, he could have found someone to buy some grass seeds suitable for livestock to eat, The seedlings of these grains are not completely suitable for livestock and so on.

In other words, Liu He and they have a lot of food in storage, which is used by the whole village, even if it is enough in another three years, and now they still have pigs or something, so naturally this meat accounts for the majority of the food, so the consumption of this food is even less.

With the consumption of green fodder and the addition of grasshopper feed, whether it is pigs, cattle, sheep, donkeys and horses, etc., they are also growing well, so the pigs have been slaughtered more, and some vulnerable livestock have been slaughtered.

In this way, the people of Shangli Village have a better life. Even with the surrounding villages are also better, although there are not many wells in the surrounding villages, but there are still a few, naturally they also followed Shangli Village to learn, planting some green seedlings suitable for livestock and other food, and even they still raise chickens and ducks or something, but also put into the ground after the green seedlings are older, they are alive chickens and ducks, when the locusts arrive, they are still full for a few days, so the growth is also very good, and slowly they are also seeing eggs.

When Liu He had no time to look outside the mountain, the disaster outside the mountain was still developing, and the number of people fleeing the famine began to increase, and the torrent of this crowd was like a big river, slowly from the small stream, to the small river, and then it formed a big river.

From the mouth of the person who reported it, we can know what kind of scene it is, the people of the family, dragging the family with their mouths, carrying the rags of the whole family, leading their children who have just left, all the way along with the flow of difficulty, from the eyes of the person who reported Liu He can even feel the helpless eyes of those fleeing.

As soon as there are more people, there will naturally be more things, and disasters, for those thieves and robbers, they will not think that this is a disaster, but that it is an opportunity for them to get rich.

From time to time, there will be people shouting in the crowd, why, their only money has been stolen, and even some are directly robbed, looking at the things in a person's hand, grabbing and running, and there are bandits, they are directly rushing into the crowd, not only robbing property, the only food for the victims, and even robbing some slightly beautiful women.

In fact, these are not the most hateful places, the most hateful are those routs, they enter the refugee pile, it is burning, killing and looting, all kinds of evil, there are guns in their hands, how many people have died under their swords.

As he spoke, the person who reported was in tears, and he wanted to appear in front of these people immediately and shoot them all, but they couldn't, Liu He once instructed that one or two cases could teach them a lesson, but if they wanted to move the gun, they couldn't step forward, which would cause disputes.

In other words, Liu He did not expect the rout, and it was expected that some [***] would be able to make trouble.

These are [***], and it can even be said that [***] is greater than natural disasters.

"Captain, we've brought back some refugees." At this time, the person who told him was embarrassed to say to Liu He, I see, they were so hard to tell these things.

"How many people did you bring back?" Liu He's face sank and said, although he had also asked them to bring back some refugees a little, but he didn't like them to be so self-assertive.

"Not much, not much, there are more than a thousand people." "Tell me how many people there are." "That's less than two thousand." "Well, I see, but let me make it clear to you, when the disaster passes, you will be responsible for them not to stay, now you go and settle them first, and then put them in the dry reed pond, so that the dry reeds can build sheds." "Okay, Captain, I'll arrange it right away."

"Also, don't worry, you go and separate them from the men, don't arrange them according to the family, separate the men and women, if there are pregnant women who want to bring it up alone, and the boys with small children can be handed over to their mothers to carry, and the big ones can be handed over to their fathers, or let them stay alone, and I will explain to Uncle Li to arrange meals for them later."

The self-assertion of these team members disrupted some of Liu He's arrangements, although he wanted to accept some refugees, he should not have brought them back without saying hello.

At this time, Liu Long's subordinates could be used, Liu He arranged for more than a dozen of Liu Long's subordinates to go with guns to maintain order, and naturally the daughters-in-law of these people also arranged such a job, the man was responsible for the male refugee side, and the woman was responsible for the female refugee and the child side.

Weitang is just a temporary settlement, and in the end, Liu He will arrange them to the territory of the old village, where there are no more residents in the old village, and they have all moved to the mountains to live, and there are still a few houses that have not been demolished, just used as a house, and these refugees still set up tents, but it is much more convenient to use water here.

"There are a few of you who are strong, what's the matter, you still want me to name them personally, you, you, you, all come out for me, go to the squad leader to report, if there is anything he will arrange for you, tell you, it is a good thing that you can choose, you can have one more steamed bun to eat at each meal." That is, Liu Long's subordinates can be responsible for this kind of thing.

The people who picked it out naturally went to work, to dig the toilet, and to go to the mountains to cut down trees, to create a fence for the toilet, so as to ensure the health and safety here, and to separate the men and women with a fence, Liu He is worried, don't raise them for a few years, the children are made, their sanitary conditions here are really poor, so far Liu He can't find a good solution.
