Chapter 283: The Way to Deal with It
But at this time, don't let it rain artificially, as long as there is a day when the sun does not shine from morning to night, it is estimated that most of the people in the village will be happy.
The current drought is indeed very caries, because the second day after the two of them finished talking, the people in the village found that the water level of the well water had dropped a lot.
Not only is there not much water in the well, but the mountain stream is also much shallower!
Originally, the water in the irrigation fields was quite sufficient, but everyone needed to line up to pick it!
But now, even if you are queuing, you may not be able to pick up water.
Because of this, everyone in the village was worried.
"Oh my lord, if we continue like this, I'm afraid the vegetables we grow in the field will all die of sunburn."
"We're not the same...... Now there is no water in the field for a day, and the greens and vegetables are drying to death! You guys, if you go on like this, what should you do? ”
"Why don't we dig a little deeper?"
"It doesn't work, it's already at this level now, how deep do you have to dig to get water in the future?"
“……”
"It's really not a good idea to dig a well, because I found that the water in the river is much shallower."
The river water is so shallow, and the well water must be the same.
The most useful way to do this now is to make it rain, the bigger the better!
Just as everyone was talking about this, a man ran over in a panic, "Oh no, no, no!" Big deal! ”
"What's wrong!? The third child of the Huang family, you are shocked, are you surprised!? ”
When Huang Laosan heard this, he wanted to cry, "I'd rather see a ghost!" But I'm with you, I've seen something worse than hell this time! ”
"What's that!?"
"That's it! Come out quickly, don't sell it here! ”
Seeing that they were all in such a hurry, Huang Laosan also handed out the rice seedlings in his hand, "Oh, you can see for yourself......
Seeing this, the big guys all approached curiously.
After seeing the things on the rice seedlings clearly, all the faces of those present changed.
"Huang Laosan, whose rice field did you see this?"
"My family!" Huang Laosan cried with a sad face, "It's not one plant, it's every rice seedling that has the eggs of this locust!"
And I turned over the ground and found that there were more locust eggs in the field!
If this continues, there is a chance that this locust plague will come......"
"So, is this only your family, or is it in every rice field!?"
If only one family has it, it's nothing.
But if there are all kinds of them in every household, then this matter is really not a problem.
With the locust plague, all the crops have to be played!
When Huang Laosan heard this question, he wanted to cry even more, "I guess every family has cherry blossoms in the field, because I went to talk about it just now, but there are all the fields where there is rice."
If it's in the field, it's even more useless......"
The village has also suffered from locust plagues before, and everyone knows that the locust eggs are basically in the soil.
After hearing Huang Laosan's words, the big guys were in no mood to chat, and they all went to the village chief to discuss this matter one by one.
When the village chief heard this, he was already serious enough to talk about people, but now he is a little more serious.
Especially at this time, there is basically no food in every household in the village.
If there is another locust plague, then the big guy will really work in vain this year!
Without saying a word, he took a few older people in the village to the field to take a look, and after finally confirming that there were really a lot of locust eggs in the field, he discussed it with the big guys.
"We've been to the field today, and almost every house has this locust egg in their field.
We don't know if there are other villages. But since our village has it, then this matter has to be solved first!
In this way, even if there is a locust plague at that time, our village will not suffer. ”
As soon as the village chief's words came out, many people nodded in favor of such an approach!
But some people feel that there are too many locust eggs, and in a while, even if the whole village goes out together, it is estimated that it will not be able to be extinguished!
After all, it's not just in the rice fields, it's also in the soil!
"I've thought about this too, and I've asked a doctor." The village chief, "Doctor, you can prepare some medicine and grind it into powder, and finally get it in the ground to kill the eggs."
But with so much land, the cost will be very large, and it is not necessary to get so many medicinal materials. ”
Ye Chuliang has experienced locust plagues since he was the most, and even if he heard it, he heard it on TV.
Now that she has experienced it herself, she stabbed Dongfang Yanhe beside her with her elbow.
"Boss, is it really okay to use medicine? Doesn't this medicine have any effect on the earth? ”
Seeing that his daughter-in-law didn't understand, Dongfang Yanhe lowered his voice and explained to her, "Yes." That's what the older generation did when they were plagued by locusts.
It's just that as soon as this medicine is sprinkled into the ground as you think, the yield of the land will not be very good in the next two years. ”
But there is no way to do it, if you don't deal with the locusts before they hatch, and wait for them to come out......
At that time, there will be a black crushed locust, and wherever they pass, it is estimated that there will not be one more weed, let alone food.
In this way, the people of these ten miles and eight villages will not spend the winter, it is estimated that even the autumn will not end, and everyone will starve to death.
Listening to his man's words, Ye Chuliang nodded all his thoughts.
"Well, that's the best way to do it now, right?"
Dongfang Yanhe snorted, "This is the best and fastest way." ”
The big guys also know that this is the fastest and best way to do it.
But when they thought that this required a large number of medicinal materials, the people in Xiantang Village all felt a headache.
"Village chief, it's not that we don't want to do this, but the problem is that we don't have so much money, and we don't have so many medicinal herbs......
Because of what happened some time ago, basically every household has dug up their family funds and used them.
And at this time, it's really not that they are not active, but it is really too difficult, and they don't even have a way out!
If you don't deal with these locust eggs, in ten days or so, there may really be a locust plague.
But to deal with it, they are really powerless......
The village chief knew that everyone was in a difficult situation now, "I will discuss this matter with the elders of all ethnic groups about what to do."
But I can talk to the big guys first, so that you can all be mentally prepared. ”
As soon as the village chief's words came out, many people asked, "You, what can you do now?" ”
"This locust egg, I think it must be killed!" The village chief said, "Money, I'll find a way." But this money has to be repaid, and everyone has to pay it back together. ”
After all, this is not his own family's business, but the entire Xiantang Village's business!
If we don't work together, this matter may really be unpassable.
As soon as the big guy heard this, he nodded, "Okay, we understand!" Village Chief, if you can borrow the silver, even if you have to repay it twice in the future, we will pay it back! ”
"That's right! It's a matter for the whole village, and everyone has to be on the same mind to make it work! ”
"Yes, village chief, you can borrow it with confidence! I'm going to beckon the big guy to draw a charge for you and give you a guarantee! ”
Anyone who is sensible knows that this is not something that they can do, so they can do it!
It's hard now, everyone is of one mind, that's not surprising.
And some people turned their faces and refused to admit it afterwards, which is estimated to be normal.
Therefore, it is best for every family to draw a mortgage to save the time to regret it.
Seeing that the big guys present were so supportive, the village chief nodded, "Okay, I'll leave this matter to a few of you, and I'll go to the clan elders to discuss!" ”
The village chief's house.
The patriarchs and elders of the major surnames in the village were all called over, and they were also called over to chat, as well as Dongfang Yan and the two of them.
Seeing that everyone had arrived, the village chief directly went through his plan first.
Then he asked the patriarchs and elders present, "What do you think?" If you think something is inappropriate, come out.
I also know that there are some big surnames here who are not compatible with each other, but now this matter is related to the entire Xiantang Village, and the usual grievances and hatreds will be put aside!
When this matter is over, I will not stop you from doing whatever you want......"
The patriarch of the Liu clan knew that he was the Wang and Liu families, so he took the lead in expressing his position.
"Village Chief, what you say is reasonable, I approve of it! Secondly, I don't have much opinion on the method you just borrowed money from.
It's just that there is one thing I'm more worried about, that is, where are we going to borrow this money? ”
At this time, every household has no money, and they can't make it up to talk.
But if you want to borrow this, you have to find someone who can get the money...
With so much land in the name of Xiantang Village, it is really not a matter to buy enough medicinal materials to come back.
After the patriarch of the Liu clan finished, the new patriarch of the Wang clan also stood up, "That's right, what we have to solve now is the problem of where to borrow this silver."
As for repaying the money, I can use my position as the patriarch as a guarantee! ”
"If someone in my Wang clan does not repay the money in the future, I will definitely investigate this matter to the end! I will not shield or ...... just because they are of my people
Another one, the grievances and grievances between the Wang family and the Liu family do not need to be considered at this time. ”
Then he looked at the patriarch of the Liu clan, "Uncle Liu, you are senior and old, I am a senior, I will take advantage of the fact that the big guys are here to say no to you first!" ”
As soon as his voice fell, he bowed to the people of the Liu clan.
The things that Wang Lin did before, he, the new patriarch, knew everything in his heart.
Even if those things were not done by himself, he had to apologize to the Liu clan!
