The time of the day passed in a hurry, and in the evening, the drizzle turned into heavy snow, and the sudden change was really a few joys and a few sorrows.

Because of the heavy snowfall, it is inevitable that those who want to come to announce Yang Ling's visit to Beijing or come to ask for Yang Ling's life are all blocked from Nanping County by the bad weather.

But the people of Nanping and nearby counties who have already been badly affected will be worse this time, and if the snow falls a little harder, more people may die.

In the evening, Qu Xiaobai and Yang Ling sat on the soft couch opposite each other, listening to the sound of the wind squirming outside the window, although they were not worried, but the joy of the New Year was also diluted a little.

"In the heavy snowfall last year, I heard that a lot of people died, and the Qincha who came from the imperial court didn't bring much food and winter clothes, probably because they were greedy for ink at all levels. The official warehouses of the affected counties have also been emptied, and if the snow is heavier this time, it will undoubtedly force the people to death. Qu Xiaobai's face was faint, and he couldn't say that he was sad.

Yang Ling stroked her hair and said, "Natural and man-made disasters are not something that you and I can resist with one strength. There should still be some surplus grain in the branches of Zixuzhuang, and if the snow is heavy again, I will let them open a porridge shed to give porridge, and one can be saved. ”

"We have so little power that we can only do. Yang Ling, it's not that I'm cold-hearted, the grain in our granary here can't be moved. When the mine starts the next year, there will not be enough food to eat. ”

Yang Ling nodded: "I understand." ”

Qu Xiaobai has such an advantage, where it is not about Yang Ling, he can treat everyone and everything rationally.

Natural disasters are such things, even in her world where productivity is highly developed, casualties are inevitable, and she and Yang Ling can only do what they can.

"We still have too little land."

After a while, Qu Xiaobai sighed again. In this world of food and clothing, the most important thing is to produce food and eat enough. However, the land is occupied by those in power, and the peasant households who really cultivate the land have no land to plant, so they can only go to work as tenants, or simply do long-term and short-term work in large households, which leads to the lack of enthusiasm of those who farm the land, the aggravation of exploitation by the land, and the serious deterioration of relations, even if there are no natural disasters, people who die of poverty and starvation abound.

Yang Ling looked at her, his eyes moved, "Does the lady have any good ideas?" ”

Qu Xiaobai pursed the corners of his mouth and thought for a moment before saying: "It's too expensive to buy land, so I don't want to send the silver to those landlords, old money, corrupt officials and corrupt officials in vain." I'm thinking, reclamation. ”

Yang Ling raised his eyebrows: "Reclamation? ”

Although he had already guessed what Qu Xiaobai meant in his heart, he still said: "Tell me, how to reclaim the wasteland." ”

"When I went to dig coal, I saw the wasteland, although it was all uncultivated, but it was all good soil, if you burned all the weeds and shrubs, reclaimed them, and planted grain, you would definitely be able to produce grain. After a few years of land transformation, it will get better and better. ”

"It's a viable solution, but where can we find the people who farm the land?"

"Stupid, you outcast. For the time being, we will provide them with food and drink, let them work for us, and when the food is produced, we will share it proportionally, so that we will also have surplus food, and they will be able to live a good life. ”

Yang Ling smiled and flicked her head, "What's in this brain?" How can it be so spiritual? ”

"Hehe, although I'm a bit of a robbery, but this is a good thing for the homeless people, don't you say? Giving them porridge can only help them tide over the difficulties once, if they can have land, then for them, they don't have to worry about the future, don't you say? ”

"Well, that makes sense."

Qu Xiaobai was proud that he had thought of a good way: "This is called giving it a fish, but it is better to give it a fish." The resettlement of the displaced people will be left to you, and you have a lot of people and the ability to do things. Wait for me to draw you a few more labor-saving farm tools, you can use no livestock and manpower, and let Chen Xiang and them take the time to make them. As soon as he talked about innovation and making money, Qu Xiaobai's eyes sparkled again.

"I'm starting to miss my hometown again. Yang Ling, although compared to there, I don't know how many times worse, but I think that as long as we are willing to work, we can definitely change the status quo. ”

There was no one else in the room, not even Luoluo, Qu Xiaobai opened the button of the bracelet to show Yang Ling modern agriculture, and the screen was projected on the small table in front of the two, which was easy for both of them to see.

Now the duration of the video has been extended to two quarters of an hour, don't worry about interruption, Qu Xiaobai searched for this is a documentary, which happens to record the history of agricultural development in human society, fast forward to modern times, in just a few decades, from human and animal farming, to the development of a fully automated farming model.

Qu Xiaobai said on the side: "In fact, the transition from an agricultural society to an industrial society did not take a long time. It will be much more convenient. You look at these seeders and harvesters, compared to those high-end mechanical and even electronic products, they are already very low-end. By the way, if we want to develop, we must first have energy. The most basic energy sources are coal and oil, which are the most basic things that can be converted into power. Alas, I really hate that I studied business management and vocal music in the first place, and I knew that one day I should have studied physical chemistry. ”

Yang Ling touched the top of her head and said, "You are already very good." If you go to learn something else, then wouldn't I be one less money-making expert? ”

Qu Xiaobai was immediately amused by him, "Hehe, what you said is also oh, I am a rising star in the business world of the Daliang Dynasty, and I will definitely be able to become rich in the world in the future." ”

"Well, you can." Yang Ling pulled Qu Xiaobai into the crook of his arm.

After losing his memory, for a while, he even thought that a woman should stay at home honestly and teach her husband and children, and he could go out and earn whatever she wanted. Later, he learned that he did not stop Xiaobai from going out to do business before, so he knew that there must be some reason for this, and later, he gradually accepted the fact that Xiaobai was doing business.

It wasn't until he regained his memory last night that he knew why he didn't stop Qu Xiaobai in the first place.

She is an eagle, she should spread her wings and soar, and for this, he is willing to be her arm.

Qu Xiaobai watched the video for a while, and said: "Yang Ling, I believe that there must be extremely rich oil reserves in the underground of this world, you can form an exploration team, we have to find out this oil." With energy, we can develop rapidly.

Yang Ling nodded cautiously: "What you said is very true, I will set up an exploration team as soon as possible." ”

Qu Xiaobai pondered for a moment, her face was a little solemn, Yang Ling asked her, she took a deep breath before saying: "Mu Nanyun and Lu Xiaoxiao are both from the same place, Lu Xiaoxiao, that little girl, is only twelve years old in that world, and the knowledge she can learn should be very limited, and after she comes, she is a pampered princess, I think she is less likely to do these things, but Mu Nanyun will definitely do it, when he was in that world, he was a soldier, and he was already a regimental officer, I even believe, Mu Nanyun can come up with all kinds of modern weapons and equipment. He's hiding his strength. ”

Qu Xiaobai transferred a few more modern weapons of destruction to Yang Ling, and Yang Ling was also shocked, "Do you also have a war there?" ”

"Yes. The inferior nature of human beings is to fight. Struggle for power. The war we have there is now not only for turf, but also for energy. Even if it is a land fight, it is for energy. Energy is important, but it's finite and non-renewable, so everyone is fighting for it. ”

Yang Ling nodded: "I understand." I will find someone to keep an eye on Mu Nanyun and Lu Xiaoxiao to see how they are moving in this regard. ”

"Well, especially Lu Xiaoxiao, I don't know what her special skills are now, and I don't even know if she has special skills, you can also let people check this, know yourself and the enemy, so that we can live with peace of mind."

Qu Xiaobai was annoyed when she thought of these people who made her feel bad, leaned on Yang Ling and hummed for a while, sat up straight again, and said fiercely: "Everything is difficult at the beginning. It's okay to do it horizontally, it's just such a thing for the New Year, why don't you bring a pen and paper, let's start thinking about those farm tools. After all, they have to find Chen Xiang to do it, and their current focus is on iron smelting, and they have to take time to do this, and when they do it, they are about to start spring ploughing. ”

Yang Ling subconsciously looked at Qu Xiaobai's belly, "I'm afraid you're tired." ”

"Where are you tired, those sisters-in-law on the Zhuangzi are doing farm work with a big belly." Qu Xiaobai grinned.

Yang Ling couldn't help but touch her tender face and said, "You are different, you are the treasure I put on the tip of my heart." ”

Qu Xiaobai arched into his arms, "The love words are so nice, when we go to bed for a while, let's lie in bed. Now, you have to tell me a good story, and now you can get down to business. Hey, by the way, are Chen Xiang and Chen Zui brothers still there? ”

"It's going to start tomorrow, Chen Xiang went back to prepare, Chen Zui should still be here. I asked people to call. Yang Ling shouted outside the door: "Ah Wu, go and call Chen Zui." ”

When Ah Wu found Chen Zui, he was drunk and mingled with a group of small artists, Ah Wu pulled him out with tears and laughter, and learned that it was Yang Ling who was looking for him, Chen Zui hurriedly said: "Ah Wu, let me change my clothes." ”

Ah Wu smelled the smell of wine all over his body, and couldn't help covering his mouth and nose and taking a few steps back, "You, hurry up." ”

Chen Zui rushed back to his room, washed up, and changed into new clothes before rushing back again. Yang Ling and Qu Xiaobai had already gone to the study, and Chen Zui was busy also going to the study.

Yang Ling and Qu Xiaobai have already begun to draw a few drawings of the seeding machine, which is a very primitive kind, and the power still comes from manpower and animal power, but it will greatly increase the speed of sowing. Seeing Chen drunk coming in, Qu Xiaobai glanced at him: "Why did you go?" Why did it take so long to arrive? With this new dress, are you going on a date with a girl? ”
