Chapter 89: Fetching Water
"Why did Lord Yu suddenly come to Pingnanpo? What's the matter? Lin Shuqing asked, trying to pull a smile.
"I'm here for the rain!" Yu Zhongpei said, took his eyes off Lin Shuqing again, and looked into the ground.
As a man, it is rude to keep staring at a girl, and he naturally does not understand this truth after reading books for so many years.
However, looking at the land in front of him, Yu Zhongpei didn't know if it was his own delusion, and he always felt that the crops in this field grew much better than those in the rich fields in the county.
Not only are the branches and leaves straight, but even the degree of verdant is different, and they began to carefully examine these crops.
"It's raining?" Lin Shuqing was a little helpless.
She is not the god of rain, why did she ask her about the rain one by one.
"It's been a long time since it rained, and I'm worried that the crops in this field will not have enough water in the field in the long run, and this year's crops in the field are estimated to die in the end."
"My lord, I don't care if it rains?" Lin Shuqing said helplessly.
"If there is not enough water for the crops in the field, then you can only give up some of the crops and water the other part, at least part of which you can live." Lin Shuqing said helplessly.
Since it can't be saved, then keep a little bit of strength, at least leave a bite to eat.
Hearing this, Yu Zhongpei's eyes lit up, too.
If you can't save all of them, it's better to save only some of them.
The fields are not able to harvest any grain!
"More girls to remind, I wonder what else the girl can do? What if people run out of water to drink? Yu Zhongpei asked again.
Lin Shuqing: ......
Why is this treating her as a hundred thousand?
She, she won't turn into water.
However, considering that the person in front of him was a county order, Lin Shuqing still seriously thought about the question of how to make water out of thin air.
"My lord, I wonder if there are any craftsmen in the county who know how to reach the well?"
"Find a few craftsmen, dig a well, find a moist place to dig, dig deeper, and there will always be water coming out."
"I've heard that there is water flowing out of the rock streams on some mountains, and adults can also send people to find them, dig up the stone streams, and there is a lot of water in them. However, there are some wild beasts in this mountain forest, but it will be very troublesome. ”
Lin Shuqing thought carefully about a few ideas.
The circulation of water throughout the surface of the earth is not only dependent on the rain and precipitation in the sky, but also a lot of groundwater under the land.
In the past, it was convenient for them to exploit groundwater, after all, with the help of modern machines.
She didn't know what the craftsmanship was here, so she had to rely on manpower to dig it.
If the water doesn't come to me, I'll look for water, that's the reason.
"Girl, is there really water according to this practice?" Yu Zhongpei's eyes flickered.
"Of course, this aquifer ...... The ground is moist because there is a lot of water under it. Lin Shuqing immediately changed her words, almost missing her mouth.
"Then I will do it according to the girl's method, and when it is done, I will thank the girl." After Yu Zhongpei said this, he left in a hurry.
He knew how to make water, and he didn't have any reason to stay here.
Lin Shuqing turned around, looked at the distant figure of the county order, and exhaled.
She didn't tell Wen Liang about this method of digging wells, because there were no craftsmen in their village to dig wells, and they didn't have so much manpower and material resources to invest in it, in case it was empty?
Since she has a way out, there is no need to invest so much money for everyone, and there are still a lot of manpower and material resources.
It's different if it's a county order, and it can command the power of the entire county.
Lin Shuqing sincerely hopes that Yu County Ling can find water.
Otherwise, she would have to take her child to a farther place in a few months.
After getting the solution from Lin Shuqing, he immediately went to the county government to issue a notice, looking for a craftsman who could dig a well, and looking for a place to dig a well.
At the same time, soldiers from the county were also sent to various places in the surrounding mountains and forests to find stone streams and places with water sources.
Within a few days, good news came from the city.
Lin Shuqing heard what Liang said.
"I went to the county a few days ago, and the county commander issued a notice saying that he had found a water source in the mountains, that is, far away, there was a steady stream of water flowing out of the stone stream, and people picked up a few big cars from the stone stream, God blessed!"
"I don't have to worry about running out of water to drink in the future...... However, "
"The county magistrate made our village really run out of water, so he watered half of the crops in the field first, and the other half was gone."
"It is said that it can save a lot of water, at least it will make people stutter. I've heard that there are a lot of people who are dissatisfied and are making trouble at the gate of the county government. ”
The county magistrate directly told them the location of the mountain water. The Ming people guarded it, saying that if they wanted to take water, they could only take one bucket per person, and give as many as they wanted. ”
"Many wealthy merchants came and went at the county gate, and they were going to get some ox carts to get water, but they were all blinded by this order. These dozens of miles of road, for a bucket of water, hard work to walk back, I don't know how much I can splash, is it worth it? ”
Wen Liang picked out the news and chatted with Lin Shuqing first.
"When people don't have water, they always have to find it as much as they can. If those people want to make trouble, let them make trouble, Uncle Liang, if the situation in the county is good, we don't have to go far away to find water to survive. ”
"yes."
Wen Liang was a little relieved.
This trip to the county is to take all the lizheng to the county and tell them to take care of the villagers in each village and not make trouble for the sake of getting water.
The county magistrate is actively trying to find a way to help everyone get out of the water.
Not only will the troublemakers be locked up in the county office, but they will also be denied access to water for several days.
Lin Shuqing has calculated, in the county where they are, I heard that there are forty or fifty villages, and they live in the county.
It is also a large county town with a population of 40,000 or 50,000, and the water shortage is naturally not small.
If each family is sent to the mountain stream to fetch water, it is not known whether a village can get a mouthful, let alone the crops in the field.
Lin Shuqing also heard Liang say that some people gave up some of the crops in the field not far away and watered them.
At present, each village and household sends people to guard in front of their own ponds, and they are only allowed to fetch one bucket of water every day.
Some people save a few buckets to water the crops in the field, but after a few days of storage, they find that there is less water at home.
No one touched the water either, and where did the water go? Maybe someone stole it, and for this reason, there were a lot of conflicts and disputes in various villages and households.
It even led to a new term, the water thief.
Whoever shook his head and stood in front of other people's houses might be trying to steal water.
For this reason, Lin Shuqing was very helpless, but what was even more helpless was that the stream next to the tofu factory was dry.
It is said that it is not dry, but the height of the water flowing on the stream is estimated to be no more than three centimeters.
It used to be a towering tree, but now it's a small tree.
Without water, the tofu making work had to stop.
