Chapter 251: Farming
From then on, these saint gentlemen who came out of nowhere began to become agricultural and forestry consultants, instructing the residents of Cow Dung Town on how to water and how to control pests and diseases every day. For the safety of these seeds www.biquge.info the town even set up a patrol, and Mayor Fei personally served as the first captain.
As for Wukong, when they have nothing to do, they pull their skins, play mahjong, and go out every once in a while to make up for their bodies.
One day, Bajie and Daoji fought because of a dime of gambling money, and the sun and moon were dark and dark, and even made a hole the size of a football field on the ground.
Within a few days, the pit was filled with water three meters deep, and it turned out that they had inadvertently penetrated an underground river.
Mayor Fei was very puzzled while he was excited, and he asked, "This dark river is too bizarre, right?"
Mr. Sun Wukong, a geographical ghost, said: "It's not strange, here is just a mountain range separated from the Endless Sea. Moreover, the snow that flowed down from the summit of the Katin Mountains had also seeped into the ground. If I'm not mistaken, there's definitely a web of water crisscrossing the ground. ”
Fei Qi said: "But we have so many wells in our town, and we have never encountered such a good thing, it is really strange." ”
Wukong smiled: "Hehe, accident!
Since the saint said that it was an accident, Mayor Fei naturally would not object. Even in his heart, he longed for a few more such accidents.
When he left, the Howling Sky Dog grinned and said, "I guess the starling did this on purpose, he is Marshal Tianpeng, if you want to talk about the understanding of water, he can't be more professional." ”
Bajie said with a smile: "Xiaotian, you really look down on me." I'll tell you the truth, I really didn't mean to. ”
Didn't you mean it?
Now that the two of them fought this fight, they not only solved the problem of draught difficulties in the town and the problem of crop irrigation, but even developed a new industry, fishery.
The fish from the underground river are not large, but they are exceptionally delicious. As for how to catch them, Wukong and others are inconvenient to provide advice, because the children of the Buddhist family do not advocate killing drops.
In order to eat delicious fish, the people of the town are really tormented. Some people use their hands to catch in shallow water, others make 'nets' out of twigs and linen, and some simply stab fish with sharpened branches, but all these efforts are in vain.
Eventually, someone came up with the bow and arrow. The most rudimentary bow in the world was made from a rope made of twigs and flax, and a thin rope was tied to the tail of the arrow, and once the fish was shot, the rope could be used to pull the fish up.
Unfortunately, these people don't seem to understand the refraction of light in water, so the more accurate they are, the more they miss. In the end, a strangely stinky Mr. Cross-Eyed and a blind Mr. who didn't even need to aim were left with nothing......
Alas, God really doesn't have long eyes!

Everything needs sunlight and water to grow.
There is no shortage of sunshine in the Catin area, and there is no shortage of water in the town of cow dung.
The once sparse weeds are becoming more and more lush, frantically sucking the water from the land and multiplying. In the future, once the grasslands are formed, animal husbandry can be developed, but it is a bit early to talk about this.
Still, the town's prosperity appeals to those who live in the nearby wilderness. They are returning, trying to reintegrate into the family. So in a short period of time, the population of Cowdung Town swelled to more than a thousand people.
But that's just the beginning. As time went on, those who lived further afield also got the news and asked to become a glorious member of Cowdung Town.
In this regard, the town office issued an announcement: if people from other areas want to obtain the town registration of Cowdung Town, they must build roads for the town for half a year, and live on their own during the road construction period. Of course, this kind of road is not a big road, but a narrow road similar to the modern society.
The naturalization conditions seem quite harsh, and some people who come to sign up are hesitant.
A gorgeous-looking woman said: "Husband, they are recruiting coolies, and they are the free kind! Although our family is a little down-and-out now, we are also from a famous family, so how can we go and work as coolies?"
The man rebuked: "You stupid woman knows what a fart!" The construction of a road means that the place is vigorously engaged in development, and this development will inevitably lead to economic prosperity. Now that they are in their infancy, it is the best time for us to hug our thighs, and we will regret it if we miss it!"
Oh, at first glance, it's a person who has seen the world.
As soon as these words came out, not only his wife was enlightened, but even those who were hesitating next to him were also enlightened, so everyone made the right decision.
The huge demographic dividend has brought rapid development to the town, and a criss-crossing transportation network has gradually shown its rudiments.
Since then, Cowdung Town has become a shining pearl in the Catine Wasteland.
——————————
Time flies, and before you know it, autumn has arrived.
The townspeople drank a slightly bitter soup of wild vegetables and occasionally prepared a few fish to replenish their nutrition, and although life was still hard, they were already looking forward to a better life ahead.
Everything seems to be going well, but there have been several incidents of stealing grain from the land during this harvest season. Eventually, the mayor's office issued a new policy, and those who stole grain seeds would be permanently expelled from the town if caught, and this evil trend was curbed.
Another new policy is the Fish Protection Order. As time went on, the townspeople became more and more experienced in how to catch the fish in the lake.
For the sake of delicious fish, they have made breakthroughs in the research of optics and mechanics.
In other words, they had discovered the refraction of light in water, and their bows and arrows were becoming more and more accurate.
The most primitive fishing rods were also introduced.
There are also those who dig deep trenches in the lake and lure the fish into the ditches for extermination.
What's even more terrifying is that some guys actually studied botany. They extracted neurotoxins from plants such as castor beans that have a paralyzing effect.
In short, the fish that were once cunning as foxes eventually became vulnerable.
However, as soon as the fish protection order came out, the plot reversed, and the townspeople became a vulnerable group again, and they ran to the mayor one by one to complain.
A middle-aged man said pitifully: "Mayor Fei, my son has run out of milk less than half a year after he was born, and he is screaming for fish soup." ”
Fei Qi said: "Yo, your son is really a prodigy, he learned to howl in less than half a year! But the saint said, our fishing resources are quite limited, and we can't overfish." ”
Another person protested: "Since the rise of the fishing industry, the folk technology in our town has developed considerably. You're doing this purely to limit the creative enthusiasm of us science and technology workers. ”
Fei Qi said: "But the saint also said that Ruth has to eat step by step, and this meal has to go step by step." If the development speed is too fast, it is easy to collapse. ”
Although he had a point, the townspeople still wouldn't buy him, because the guys were addicted to fish soup.
Mayor Fei rolled his eyes, and gave them a bad idea: "Oh, now there is only this one lake in our town, and there are not enough fish." Why don't you think of another fight between the saints, maybe a few more lakes can be made?"
