Yan Yunge was not in a hurry to return to the capital.

Drought, lack of water.

The river was cut off and farming was damaged.

This year's harvest is destined to be miserable.

Yan Yunge walked to the field for a long time, and he was desperate in his heart.

Crop cuts, or even no harvests, are all doomed.

Even if there are a few rainstorms now, the damaged crops will not be saved.

Too late!

There is only a month or two left until the autumn harvest.

In the south, the autumn harvest is earlier than in the capital, and it is estimated that it is also miserable.

Fortunately, Ji Ping drove away nearly 10,000 displaced people, which greatly relieved the pressure on food, drinking water, and land in the villa.

This year's drought has not been cleared, and there are so many people in the mountain village, just finding work for the displaced people is a big problem.

If there is no work, there is no food.

Coupled with the lack of water, it is strange that the displaced people do not make trouble.

Now, the pressure on the villa has plummeted, not to mention Yan Yunge, even Yan Sui himself is also relieved.

The days of not worrying about not having enough food to eat and not enough water to drink are really beautiful.

Yan Yunge asked Yan Sui: "Is drilling a well effective?" ”

Yan Sui's expression was bitter, "In the past, when I dug a well, it was seven or eight battles deep at most, and I could see water. Now twenty battles have been fought underground, and there may not be water. ”

Yan Yunge nodded, "It's normal that the riverbed is dry, the water level is dropping, and the well can't produce water." Wells that can still produce water normally must be protected by people and fetched water on time and in batches. This year, people are counting on wells to live and livestock to drink. If the well were to be destroyed, the consequences would be dire. ”

Yan bowed down and received the order.

The mountain village is large, and there are always a few wells that are very talented, and they can produce water normally during drought years.

Such wells are treasures and should be protected.

This year's crops have not been harvested, and it is estimated that only 30 to 50 percent of the harvest in previous years will be harvested.

This little food is really not enough to eat.

The point is that Yan Yunge is still in debt.

Shaofu's debts have not yet been settled.

Scumbag Yan guarded the war there, and was still counting on her food supply.

The lodge itself also consumes a lot of food.

Yan Yunge also had a headache.

The only thing that is fortunate is that the villa has hoarded a little food and can still support it.

Looking at the crops that had become sluggish due to drought and sun exposure, not to mention being short, and the rice ears were sparse, Yan Yunge was not in the mood at all.

She decided to go to the ranch to have a look.

It's easier to grow grass than to grow crops.

Over the years, the ranch has been expanding, covering an area of nearly 100 hectares.

From a distance, you can still see the greenery, which makes people's hearts happy.

If the crops are not harvested, could it be that the pasture will be harvested this year?

When she got closer, she realized that she had thought things too simply.

The grass is only slightly better than the crops.

Still, there was a lot of trepidation, and everywhere you could see the land under the pastures. There is only a thin layer of greenery.

With such a panicked pasture, Yan Yunge completely lost hope.

She instructed the steward Chang Gui, "This year, we will not sell pasture, and all of it will be hoarded in the warehouse and left for my livestock to survive the winter." ”

Chang Gui agreed.

Yan Yunge reassured him, "The villa will pay the ranch according to the market price, so you don't have to worry about this year's income." ”

Chang Gui laughed, "It's still the owner who thinks thoughtfully." ”

This year's harvest was poor, Yan Yunge was not happy, so he simply rode on a horse and galloped in the pasture.

It made her realize that someone was stealing grass.

The ranch is too big to be taken care of everywhere.

There are always forgotten remote corners, so they are targeted.

She watched from afar, and the stolen grass did not dare to be blatant, and when she saw someone coming, she picked up the bundles of grass and ran.

Looking at the clothes and the accent of the speech, there are displaced people from other places who come to Beijing, as well as local villagers.

Chang Gui faced this situation, he could only smile bitterly.

"Qiqi Dongjia, around the pasture, there are people stealing grass all year round, and they can't manage it. The front foot drove them away, and as soon as the back foot was gone, they came out from all directions. ”

Yan Yunge understood, she asked, "Are these people stealing grass to feed their livestock, or are they selling it for money?" ”

Chang Gui said: "The homeless people steal the pasture, it must be to sell it for money. Most of the local villagers steal grass to feed their livestock. The grass grown in our pasture is of high quality, and the livestock and horses love to eat it, and they eat long meat. Compared with the quality of the grass harvested by farmers in the fields, it is several grades higher. ”

Yan Yunge asked, "Will you drive them away from time to time?" ”

Chang Gui hurriedly said: "As long as you see it, you must drive it away." If you don't drive it out once, there will be many people stealing the grass next time. No matter how big the ranch is, it can't withstand so many people stealing it every day. ”

Yan Yunge nodded, "It's time to drive away!" Do not let them take responsibility for stealing grass, but do so once they see and drive them away, and there must be no forgiveness and mercy in words. ”

"The owner has a point!"

There was nothing to see in the pasture, so Yan Yunge turned around and went to the mountains.

The situation in the mountains is much better.

The trees lock in water, and when you walk in the mountains and forests, you can feel a little wet.

There is mountain spring water, but the flow of water is very small.

A water pipe is made of bamboo, and the water from the mountain spring is led down the mountain and collected in the pool.

The blacksmithing workshop is in a state of semi-shutdown, and only a small number of people are working normally.

Because of the lack of water!

Water must first be drunk by people and animals, followed by farming, and finally processed and produced.

Yan Yunge inspected the circle, and the situation was not optimistic.

The top priority, where to get the water?

There is water in Weishui, but it is far away.

Unless, she is willing to spend a lot of money to build a canal from Weishui.

This project is too huge.

Unless the imperial court comes forward and organizes manpower to build water canals.

Yan Yunge is worried!

The sun hangs in the sky, and there is no sign of rain.

She summoned all the stewards and held a meeting in the signing room.

"The problem of water shortage is getting more and more serious, and if there is any way to alleviate it, everyone can speak freely."

At first, everyone was silent.

Later, Ji Ping started to talk, and everyone started to talk about it.

In fact, there is no good way for everyone.

Useful methods are being used.

For example, water restriction!

Ditches and ponds were built to store water.

Dispose of poultry and livestock, and only keep a part.

Reduce work, people should not work in the sun, and the daily need for drinking water can be reduced by more than half.

The most effective way to do this is to demobilize all the displaced people living in the lodge.

This is the method proposed by Ji Ping.

He was always the most vicious one.

Yan Sui objected, and he told Ji Ping, "There are so many displaced people, they not only open up wasteland, but also rent the fields of the mountain villa. Speaking of which, they are all tenants of our lodge. Before the crops have been recovered from the storehouse, how can the tenants be driven out? ”

"Then only the displaced people will be dismissed, and the tenants who rent the fields of the mountain cottage can stay. Anyway, this year, if the land is not cleared, the crops will not be harvested, except for the tenants who rent the fields, the other displaced people will be dismissed, so that the wells will be enough for all the livestock to drink, and there will be a surplus. ”

If the method of equalization is adopted, it will have an immediate effect.

It's just, it's a bit ruthless.

Several stewards of the villa all showed unbearable expressions.

"The troublemakers and their families have been evicted. If you dismiss all the displaced people who have not rented their fields because of the shortage of drinking water, I am afraid that something will happen. ”

"Most of the displaced people, in fact, as long as they have food and drink, they can work in peace. After they were dismissed and left the lodge, many of them did not expect to survive this winter. ”

"It's easy to be dismissed! If the weather improves in the coming year, displaced people will need to open up the land, and then they will have to recruit again. The new recruits are not as good as these homeless people who work and do familiar work. ”

Ji Ping had a cold face, "The top priority now is water, not people." Retain water first, then protect people. Don't put the cart before the horse, because of sympathy, once again cause a drinking conflict. ”

The stewards wanted to refute him, but Yan Yunge raised his hand to stop him.

She asked Yan Sui, "What is the situation of those displaced people who have not rented the fields of the mountain villa?" How many people are there? Why don't they rent land? Could it be that there are other plans? ”

Yan Sui hurriedly said: "A large part of the displaced people who do not rent land are due to the small number of people in their families and the lack of labor. Some women and children, some bachelors...... In the final analysis, it is actually a shortage of labor, and there is no way to carry the burden to climb the hill. A small number of people are because they have a craft that allows them to find work in the workshop and support their families without relying on farming. ”

Ji Ping frowned, "Women and children, bachelors, these families who lack labor should not stay." It's a pure waste of food. ”

Yan Sui was silent, he was waiting for Yan Yunge to make a statement.

Deep in his heart, Yan Yunge agreed with Ji Ping's approach.

If you run such a big mountain villa, you will have to suffer if you are not ruthless enough.

In the good years, she can be merciful, anyway, she has a lot of income.

She can afford a little food.

However, the current drought has reduced crop yields, and the workshops are under-opened, making it difficult to drink water.

still raising so much, purely to make trouble for himself.

It's just that......

She also has to consider the emotions of the stewards.

This group of stewards grew up with the villa.

They are familiar with every plant and tree in the villa, familiar with the people here, and everything here.

They are the cornerstone of the stable development of the villa, and they are also the heroes.

She can't chill the hero's heart.

She asked Yan Sui, "Your idea is not to dismiss people?" ”

Yan Sui nodded heavily, "There are a lot of people in it, and they came here in the first year of the villa's operation." It can be said that they are part of the mountain villa, and the mountain village is their second home. Their sense of identity with the villa is simply not comparable to that of those who have been re-recruited from outside. ”

Yan Yunge decided: "What you said makes sense, they are all old people in the villa, and they have all made a contribution to the villa. It is possible not to dismiss them, however, the same living owner is paid in half. If they can accept it, they will be allowed to stay. If you can't accept it, leave the villa within three days and find your own way out. ”

Yan Sui was overjoyed when he heard this.

"The girl is righteous! The pay is halved, and they will also choose to stay. Now, out of our Fugui Villa, they can't find a second way to live. ”

In Gyeonggi, there is no shortage of people to work, only food and water to survive.

Nirvana Villa, for tens of thousands of displaced people, is their safe haven and their safe fortress.

As long as the villa is there, they are not afraid of running out of food or water to drink.
