Chapter 242: Drowning
Changing the head of the horse does not mean that the wild horse herd will honestly listen to Harui's words.
After all, to the wild horse herd, Harui is unfamiliar.
Of course, if Heirui wants to go to Lingtong County, there will also be some wild horses to follow.
However, this kind of scene is not what Jiang Long wants to see, and after finding this wild horse herd, Jiang Long naturally wants to take them all.
Divide into two groups, and the other group leaves, how much silver will be lost.
It's just that now that the head horse is dead, and he can't let Heirui go back, he has to stay in the wild horse herd and get along with the wild horses, what should I do?
Jiang Long and the others couldn't stay and blend in with the wild horses.
There are so many things in Lingtong County, and they can't do without Jianglong at all.
Jiang Long couldn't let it go.
Qin Yu saw Jiang Long's embarrassment at this time, and took the initiative to say: "Although Hei Rui is loyal, he will definitely not give up the small one if he stays in the wild horse herd, and he will become a wild horse from now on, but the wild is not safe, and the little one is worried that if he encounters a wild beast, he will hurt it."
So the little one wants to stay alone with Heirui. ”
Jiang Long frowned, noncommittal.
"The small ones follow the herd of wild horses, so that they can find out the size of the territory of this group of wild horses, so that they will not be allowed to run away in the future." Qin Yu said again.
"The night is cold, you stay in the wild......" Jiang Long was not at ease.
Qin Yu hurriedly said, "The little one will be fine if he sleeps with Hei Rui." ”
"Okay." Jiang Long thought for a while, and finally nodded his head, "But you have to be vigilant at all times, the wild is not as good as at home, and you are the only one, without friends and partners to help, even if there is a small illness, you may not be able to afford to get sick."
What's more, there are many wild beasts living in the savannah. ”
"The little one is written down."
Jiang Long was indeed worried that these wild horses would have no leader, if Hei Rui left, the wild horses would have no sense of direction, and they would walk out of their current territory, Qin Yu was a little worried about Hei Rui, and wanted to follow, Jiang Long agreed.
It's still early, and I don't know how big the territory of this herd of wild horses is.
So Jiang Long sent a servant back and brought more food.
At noon, Qin Yu followed the wild horses into the depths of the prairie.
Qin Yu rode on Hei Rui's back, attracting many wild horses to look at him curiously, but Hei Rui was now the head horse, so these horses did not dare to be hostile to Qin Yu.
Some of the mares came running over to offer their courtesy, apparently falling in love with Herui.
This herd of only more than 2,500 wild horses is still a herd of small wild horses.
Only the head horse was barely good, and the rest of the horses were very average, including all the mares.
Dark interacts with these mares, frolicking, but doesn't really fall in love with any of them.
It wasn't until the wild horses were out of sight that Jiang Long took everyone to ride back on horseback.
The route of the river is almost finished, so Jiang Long changed into a shabby linen shirt today and blended into the people who dug the river.
I want to have a real understanding of the lives of the people in northern Xinjiang.
But it wasn't until he listened to one real story after another that Jiang Long realized that the people of Northern Xinjiang were living in more misery than he had imagined.
"Wang Liu, I heard that your old mother is seriously ill?" Many people come from the same township and place, because they met halfway and came to Lingtong County together, they were not familiar with each other before, maybe they met a few times when they were in the market, and some of them were familiar.
A man who was digging in the soil asked with concern.
"I've already done my business before I came." Wang Liu's voice was low.
"Huh?" The man who asked was taken aback, "What, how fast?" ”
"I don't have the money to get medicine."
When the voice fell, there was silence all around.
Not only Wang Liu, but also their families did not save money.
If they hadn't come to dig the river, they would have been hungry and hungry, not to mention the elderly and children.
The main laborers must be fed.
This is not to say that they are not filial to the old people in the family, but that the main laborers cannot eat enough and cannot work.
Then no one wants to hire.
When the family has no source of income, won't they starve to death?
Therefore, no matter how filial piety to the father and mother, no matter how sorry the children are, the men in the family must first try to feed themselves as much as possible.
Jiang Long left here and came to another place.
He, Tudu and others also held shovels in their hands to help.
As soon as he lifted the shovel, he threw the earth into the wagon.
When the wagon was filled with earth, someone drove the wagon away and dumped it in the distance.
This is on the dug river embankment.
There were fewer people here, and after the carriage left, the people in charge of loading the soil had a short time to rest and talk.
More people are digging rivers and just throwing dirt on both sides of the riverbank.
Jiang Long didn't think about squeezing these people with all his might, and it was normal to have time to rest and talk.
What's more, when the carriage came, these people would work very hard in a short period of time, and no one was lazy at all.
"Before I came here, people starved to death in the village next door." When the carriage left, a sturdy man raised his sleeves and wiped his sweat, this person was obviously more talkative, "It's an old man, his family has a large population, and he has nothing to eat, so he committed suicide by hunger strike." ”
"Alas, the world is difficult!" Someone next to him sighed softly.
"We have people starving to death there."
"Fortunately, this post is here to recruit people to dig the river, so that I can eat my stomach."
Jiang Long's face was gloomy, and he walked to the river to help dig up the soil.
"There is a family in my village who has just finished a happy event and married a daughter-in-law to the eldest in the family, and the old man in the family is gone, he is seriously ill, he looks down on the doctor, he has no money to take medicine, and the old woman is fifty years old, and she is still pregnant with one in her belly."
"Huh? Did you give birth? ”
"It's born, it's a girl."
"What happened in the end?"
"What else? How much food does a female baby have to eat from childhood to adulthood? The population of that family was very large, and they were drowned before they could open their eyes when they were born. ”
Hearing this, Jiang Long left with a shovel.
The good mood that I had because the project was going well is gone.
My head was ringing, and before I could open my eyes, I was drowning!
That's a life!
Even if Jiang Long is not a soft-hearted person, he still has a faint pain in his heart.
Seeing that Jiang Long was in a bad mood, Tudu and the others quietly followed behind and returned to the county office.
"Mr. Cheng, you help write a list of articles, and from tomorrow onwards, you will recruit women to dig rivers and take care of three meals, and the salary is half that of men." As soon as he stepped into the threshold, Jiang Long didn't care that Cheng Ze was discussing things with the county Cheng Zhouxi, but he suddenly interrupted.
Cheng Ze's brows furrowed slightly when he heard this.
Why are women being recruited so quickly?
According to the previous plan, it was to wait until the outermost river channel was almost dug before recruiting women to cultivate the fields.
However, he also had eyes, and when he saw that Jiang Long's face was not good-looking, he didn't ask more.
I spread out the page and started writing.
Zhou Xi stood up, saluted Jiang Long, and then put down the matter at hand and sat quietly aside.
After Cheng Ze finished writing the list, Jiang Long immediately asked people to take it down and copy more than 20 copies, and then sent the fast squad officials to send it to various nearby counties for posting.
After the matter was done, Jiang Long's face was a little better.
Cheng Ze asked.
After listening to Jiang Long, Cheng Ze just opened his mouth to persuade Jiang Long to open some.
Following Jingxian's side back then, Cheng Ze encountered more than these tragic things?
Zhou Xi also exhorted and sighed.
This is how the world is, and it is only sad in vain.
And said: "Lord Jing's heart is for the people, which is the blessing of the surrounding people, and this time the recruitment of women to do things can make many people's families have enough to eat." ”
Full of food?
At this time, Jiang Long felt these words in his ears.
At the same time, I am also determined to complete the goals I have set and make Lingtong County the largest granary in northern Xinjiang!
With food, the people can have their stomachs full!
Although some people persuaded him, Jiang Long's bad mood still lasted for several days.
After a few days, it faded away.
Beijing, the backyard of Jingfu.
Mrs. Jing called Lin Ya and pointed to the table with a smile, "This is the picture of the Jingjing Grassland that Jiang Long promised to draw for me, and I finally sent it back last night." ”
Lin Ya was pleasantly surprised when she heard this, and hurriedly took a few steps forward, her eyes moving to the screen.
The brushwork and structure of this painting are very atmospheric.
The painting style near the front is delicate and clear, and it is a few wild horses that are eating grass with their heads down, or wagging their tails, or rubbing their shoulders.
The demeanor of the wild horse is vividly painted.
At the feet of wild horses, there are several wild grasses and wild flowers of different varieties.
In the distance, there is a herd of cattle, sheep and horses, and next to it are more than a dozen felt tents inhabited by different races.
There were also a few aliens riding horses and watching over the cattle, sheep and horses.
Looking further away, the picture is not clear.
But although it is vague, it is very atmospheric and solemn, it is a tall and majestic ancient city, the flag flutters on the city wall, standing there firmly, as if guarding one side.
"How?" Mrs. Jing waited for Lin Ya to look at it for a while, and then asked with a smile.
Lin Ya immediately praised: "I didn't expect that my husband's Danqing brushes are so good!" ”
"Haha!" Mrs. Jing laughed heartily when she heard this.
Her grandson was brought up by her, and her grandson is excellent, so she is naturally very proud.
I have to say that Jianglong's performance now is indeed very good.
After chatting with Lin Ya for a while, Mrs. Jing took out a letter and handed it to Lin Ya, "This is sent back to you by Jiang Long." ”
As she spoke, Mrs. Jing squeezed her eyes in a strange way.
The mood is good, Mrs. Jing is healthy, and she also has a little more child's playfulness.
Lin Ya's face flushed when she saw it, and she stepped forward to take the letter, but she ran away without looking back.
Mrs. Jing burst into laughter again.
Now that there are many matters in the Jing Mansion, Mrs. Jing has already handed over almost all of them to Lin Ya to take care of.
Lin Ya ran all the way back to her room and sent out all the rings around her, which was the way she quietly opened the envelope.
As for Yahuan Du Juan...... Lin Ya has a lot of things to do now, and she has a lot of power, so if she finds something at will, she can get Du Juan out of the way.
asked Du Juan to do things and gave her some power, but Du Juan couldn't refuse if she wanted to.
In the end, all Du Juan could do was to use the power in her hands to try to collect as much money as possible.
In the future, in case of incident, after escaping, it is good to defend yourself if you have money.
After Lin Ya took out the letter paper, she looked at it a little, and her beautiful eyes brightened.
