72. No one knows more about saline land than I do
"Killed yourself?" Chen Lihua let out an exclamation. "Is it because you can't bear such a big blow?"
The old village is noncommittal. "Probably. But later some people said that he saw God appearing to him, and he was afraid that God would punish him further, so he committed suicide in fear of sin. ”
"Actually, our village didn't believe in this at first, Master Wang treats everyone kindly, and there has never been a bully. How can it be a bad guy? ”
But later, all the people who came to see this kind of land said that they were cursed by God, and the sudden suicide of Master Wang, everyone believed in each other. It's not his fault, why did he kill himself? He's right, why did this land become barren land in the end, what to plant and die? ”
"Most of the reasons why this land has become saline-alkali land is that there is an underground river under this field, and the water quality here is not very good." The system looked through the information and finally found some eyebrows. "The wrong irrigation method will also lead to further deterioration of saline-alkali land."
"Can that still be saved?" Chen Lihua is very satisfied with the geographical location of Funiu Village, not to mention the mountains and rivers, it is not too far from the capital, according to her and the system's plan, when the time comes to make soaps, perfumes, and spirits, it is also very important to have a large enough market nearby.
The system said proudly:
"Of course, don't underestimate the power of technology."
After receiving an affirmative answer, Chen Lihua smiled confidently at Lao Cunzheng:
"Don't be so sad, old man. I bought this piece of land. ”
"Don't play tricks on me." The old village is clever and even speaks the local dialect. "What do you plant in this land, what do you buy it for?"
"What if I could restore this land to its original state?" The corners of Chen Lihua's mouth were slightly hooked.
"If you can save this land, then I will let the king be dumb and not take a penny!"
"Who is the dumb king?" Chen Lihua wondered.
"It's me." A deep middle-aged male voice came from behind him, startling Chen Lihua.
"I am the second grandson of Master Wang you said, Wang Mingyan. My grandfather hanged himself, not out of fear of sin, but to prevent the land from deteriorating further. The middle-aged man's voice was a little dry, as if he hadn't spoken to anyone for many years, and looking at the strange eyes of the people around him, he gasped lowly, like a drowning and suffocating person. This title deed is in my hands, and I can give this land to you for free, I have only one condition. ”
He stared at Chen Lihua deadly, with threats and pleading in his eyes.
"Can you restore this land to its original state?"
"It's a deal." Chen Lihua said.
There was a faint sound of ridicule next to it.
"Who does she think she is? Can God take back his will? ”
Chen Lihua looked at Wang Mingyan's cramped and nervous expression, and was even more disgusted with these people who chewed their tongues behind their backs, and said loudly:
"This is not a natural disaster, but a natural principle."
"Joke, everyone has lived here for hundreds of years, why didn't this place change before, but when Master Wang was alive, it suffered a halogen disaster?"
The person who spoke relied on himself to be far away from Chen Lihua, and whispered slander, but he didn't know that Chen Lihua was not an ordinary lady, and she listened with both ears, but she found the person who spoke in an instant, she hesitated for a moment, and gave up the idea of finding out the person, because observing the expressions of the people around her, it is not the only one who has this idea.
What's the use of taking out the princess's life card now, and then everyone kneeling in panic? The saline-alkali land is barren not only in the fields, but also in the hearts of the people.
Back in the courtyard where she rested, Chen Lihua was still complaining to the system about those who wantonly exuded malice.
"This is normal, which novel does not suppress first and then promote? Isn't it time for you to slap them in the face with facts? The more he doubts now, the more he regrets it. The system is well-informed and disapproving of Chen Lihua's anger.
"But this is my world, not your novel!" Chen Lihua is still indignant.
"Ah, that's actually the case with people in my world. The masses are incapable of thinking, and as long as there is a convincing theory, they will rush to believe in the theory, give up thinking and criticizing the theory, and spontaneously persecute the doubters and those who are considered guilty by the theory. In the end, the system was afraid that Chen Lihua would not be able to dissipate his anger, so he said again: "No matter which world, no matter how high the level of civilization development is, this is the case." It's impossible to change because the crowd is not rational, and you can't reason with something that has no substance. So it doesn't really matter which world it is. ”
Chen Lihua was even more deflated when she heard this. "Isn't that forever possible to change the fate of the group?"
"Actually, you can't make the group rational, but it's because of this that you can manipulate them? There is an old saying in the big family, you should have heard of it, right? The king is like a boat, the people are like water, water can carry a boat, and it can also overturn a boat. ”
"Hmm." Chen Lihua bit her lip and nodded, of course she had learned this sentence, but at the beginning, the three brothers and sisters all smiled and threw it away, and it was not until in Chongming City that she saw the power of the people for the first time. Tens of thousands of refugees silently held rudimentary weapons, pouring into Chongming City like black turbulence, no matter how high the nobles were once sunk like feathers, unable to set off a single wave.
"There is another sentence in the back: the gate valve is the dam." The system sneered, "Water is impermanent, and its form is uncontrollable, the people have the greatest power, but they can never organize effectively, tell them some bad news, take one of their cows, they will be angry and resentful, a little sweetness, they will get carried away." More often, the gate valve family is the container, they inherit the son of heaven at the top, and the tenants at the bottom. The will of the people is in their hands, and they are at their disposal, and most of the people are confused and do not know the way forward. ”
"But so what?" The intonation of the system becomes brisk. "You don't plan to go back to be your female general, there is no need to understand these things for a female shopkeeper or a female landlord, and knowing it will only increase your sorrow."
Chen Lihua nodded in agreement. Contentment, she thought, there is no need to think about so many big truths, haven't you remembered enough of the lesson of almost wasting the bones? Since you don't plan to be a leader again and carry so much pressure, don't think about what you have and don't have. Why don't you think about how to buy enough petals to make perfumes......
But as she walked, she found that her fists had clenched at some point, and she opened her mouth to speak, but her teeth were clenched together and creaked. She still didn't want to accept that fact.
