Chapter 968: The Old Lady Who Starved to Death (7)

After arbors settled in the valley, there were only two main things, one was that arbors took them to open up the wasteland and plant, and by the way, they raised some livestock.

Seeds and livestock cubs.

It is all provided by the friendship of Arbor.

After all, they were now settled, and they were not as wandering around as before, and there was no way to grow and raise livestock, and it was impossible for the arbor to provide them with free food and drink all the time, so it was necessary to teach them to be self-reliant.

The second thing is education.

Planting, or raising cattle and sheep or something, is still quite boring, anyway, they have nothing else to do, so Qiao Mu simply teaches them some knowledge and tells them some stories in their free time of planting and breeding.

Teach slowly from shallow to deep.

Later, he moved out all the teaching aids from the interstellar era and used solar energy storage to teach them various interstellar basics.

Although life seems to be a little boring.

Except for these people.

I didn't see anyone else.

However, this kind of quiet time is the most comfortable day for the children who have just experienced the famine before, neither worrying about the next meal not falling, nor worrying about being beaten and scolded by others, and they can still support themselves and study.

It's for them.

It's already a life to enjoy.

So it doesn't feel too boring, not to mention that Qiao Mu occasionally shows them movies.

Broadcast cartoons or something.

So overall, they're quite comfortable here, and they're happy every day.

The years on their side are quiet, and they live a quiet and peaceful life in isolation, but the Dali Dynasty outside is experiencing a chaotic world.

The drought in the northwest saw the worst that the trees had predicted, that is, the following year, instead of alleviating the situation, it became more intense, and the weather became more and more erratic.

In short, natural and man-made disasters are rampant.

Even the grasslands were hit by heavy snowstorms.

This is for the Great Li Dynasty.

It is undoubtedly even worse.

Because of the snowstorm in the grassland, it means that many nomads on the grassland will encounter the problem of food shortage, and as soon as they encounter the problem of food shortage, they will go to the Central Plains to hunt grass valleys.

In this way, the Great Li Dynasty is facing not only natural and man-made disasters, but also internal and external troubles.

The million-strong army guarding the four directions had to block the invaders from the outside, and at the same time had to find a way to divide some troops to quell the internal rebellion.

And then at this time, there were people who embezzled military salaries.

Others seized grain and grass.

The combination of all these bad conditions directly led to a large number of mutinies in the western and northern regions.

The situation is simply a mess.

Warlords rose everywhere, the world soon fell apart, and the overall situation of the Great Li Dynasty was once so serious that the imperial decree could not leave Kyoto, until this time, the regent Empress Dowager and the eunuchs who were in power wanted to return the power of the court to the left and right prime ministers.

But in the face of such a mess.

What about the left and right prime ministers?

It can only be barely supported.

Once the world falls into chaos, once it falls into complete division and chaos, it will not be able to calm down in a year or two, and this chaos is likely to last for decades, or even hundreds of years.

Don't think that's an exaggeration.

This is the lesson of history.

However, they did not know about these things, and the valley where they lived was not only isolated from noise and turmoil, but also from the flow of information.

So they've been living in peace.

Every day the sun rises and the sun sets.

The regularity of life is incredible.

Ten years have passed in a flash.

These ten years have been a dull decade for the arborists and them to enrich themselves with knowledge, but for those outside the valley, it has been a painful decade, a decade of despair and hell.

……

Under the peach blossom forest in the Taoyuan Valley.

Qiao Mu looked at Zhang Dou, who was doing a cross-breeding experiment not far away, and the idea that was born three years ago was finally completely finalized at this moment.

The eldest children are not young now, and they are all at the age when it is time to get married and have children, whether it is for them to go out and look for them, or to find some people to come in, it is already urgent.

Although there are not no girls in the valley, everyone has grown up together like brothers and sisters, how can there be any feelings between men and women, and the girls in the valley are only fifteen or sixteen years old, and they are at the age of marriage and childbirth, so they still have to go out to find someone who really loves each other.

With these considerations in mind, Qiao Mu spent two days collecting information from the outside, and then on the third night, she summoned all four boys and a girl over eighteen years old in the valley to her yard.

"Grandma, what did you call us for?"

Since entering the valley and starting to teach them literacy, Xiaodouzi and their family have wanted to have the surname Qiao Mu.

So Zhang Dou at this time.

In fact, it is the original little bean.

As for why not the surname Joe.

The original body is Tao Zhang's.

It has nothing to do with Joe.

"You're all young, it's time to start a family outside, and it's quiet and peaceful in this valley, but it's not the same thing to always be like this, so it's time for you to get out and find a partner.

Otherwise, you can't just die alone.

I don't have children, but I have you.

You're old, and you don't have anything.

See what I mean. ”

Qiao Mu's words were very clear.

If you don't understand this.

Didn't the first ten years be taught in vain?

"Go out and start a family?

Grandma, are you going to kick us away? ”

Although Zhang Hui understood the meaning, she still pretended to be stupid and sad because she didn't want to leave.

The four boys on the side glanced at each other at this time, and their eyes revealed a hint of excitement, obviously they might have had an idea, but they had been embarrassed to tell Qiao Mu that they wanted to leave.

"Don't be a child.

If it weren't for the catastrophe, I wouldn't have brought you here, people are social creatures after all, this place is suitable for the elderly, and it is also suitable for children to grow up, but it is definitely not suitable for a normal family and a business, especially very unsuitable for starting a business.

I've looked into the situation out there.

Now it is still a troubled time, there are divisions in various places, the capital of Dali was broken five years ago, and now it is the Duke of Wei who occupies the capital of Dali, although he did not kill the emperor, but he should also be coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes, wanting to occupy orthodoxy.

You can go out and do whatever you want.

If you want to find someone to marry and have children, you can find someone to marry and have children, and if you want to create a career, then create a career, if you really don't want to do anything, you just want to come back, then stay for two or three years, and you can come back if you want to come back.

It's better not to come back single, though.

It's best to bring back a companion.

Do you understand what I mean? ”

Although Qiao Mu does not have the idea of helping the world now, it is indeed the best time to make contributions, let these children go out to break through, not to mention success, then they can also grow a long insight.

Why not?

It is cruel to keep them in the valley.

Cruelty to their future.
