166. Master of land reclamation
War is not only a comparison of the strength of both sides, but also various aspects such as grain and grass.
It's a pity that Emperor Dongyang was confused, thinking that it would be enough to have an army, and constantly ordered soldiers to fight, but did not give enough reserve resources.
A lot of grain and grass was collected by his father Qin Lie from the common people.
But the people are also suffering, I don't know how many natural and man-made disasters there are every year, and how much can be collected?
Back then, during the war, it was common for people to run out of food.
"I have to say, you have done a lot of what I want to do, I also thought about going to the people and seeing the people's feelings, but then the wars were frequent, and I never did it......"
Thinking of being trapped in the city by the enemy army several times before, and almost running out of food, Qin Yin sighed infinitely.
In many cases, it is not that they do not want to collect food, but they cannot collect food at all, and if they do, the people become refugees.
"Yes, if I can, I think the most important thing is to improve people's livelihood, and when the surrounding wars are over, I may have more time to teach the people some planting knowledge." When it came to farming, Tang Wei suddenly yearned.
Along the way, she had also observed the people's conditions in many places, and she found that although the Xuanling Continent was a place with spells, like most of the ancient histories she had known before, there were many people who could not even eat enough in their lives.
No, many times, it should be said that it is more serious than what is said in the history books she knows.
Here, there are no strict laws, more bullying and disregard for human life.
This is a place where the strong are respected, and she knows that outside this world, there is a broader world, but here, there is Qin Yin's family.
They are all good soldiers who have fought for the happy life of the people of Dongyang all their lives.
Therefore, naturally, Tang Wei also wants to do his part to pass on the knowledge he knows to the people.
Tang Wei didn't know much about farming, but she also followed her grandmother to the field during the holidays before, and she still knew a little bit about the many kinds of Tianwen she had read back then.
"Well, I believe in you, if one day, there is a need for war, I hope I can charge forward again." Qin Yin smiled, turned around and went to cultivate again.
The world is impermanent, and planning ahead is the best choice.
β¦β¦β¦
After resting for a while, Tang Wei turned around and continued to dig the ditch.
Soon, the ditch was digging all the way to the bottom of the field, and along the way, she also dug many tributaries along the way.
On the villagers' side, because of the moisture of water, dozens of people worked together to dig two pieces of land.
"Bang bang, bang, knock-"
"Whew, whewβ"
After digging the ditch, Tang Wei returned to the field she had just dug up, and saw the chili standing above knocking on the hoe!
After a few hours of hard work, Chi Li had successfully cut the shrubs and weeds in his field, and at some point he began to hoe, at this time he did not hoe much, and it seemed that the hoe had broken quite a few times.
"Ahem... This ditch is not far from you, so you won't go over and lead it over. Looking at Chi Li's face of struggling to knock on the hoe, Tang Wei couldn't cry or laugh.
"Ahh Didn't you let me lead it? Slightly surprised, Chi Li stood up suddenly.
"I remember just saying that you should lead it yourself......" Tang Wei raised his forehead.
"Ah, that's what you mean!" Chi Li only felt that his face was a little hot, "It's me who lives the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain." β
"Okay, okay, it's just you!" Tang Wei really didn't expect that Chi Li would really look at the water next to him and hoe this hard land by himself.
After digging the ditch, it was not too early, Tang Wei found a relatively small piece of land nearby and cut the grass, and Chi Li also began to officially hoe the ground after successfully attracting the stream.
Since then, his hoe has not broken again.
On the other side, the villagers were trying to pick up the roots of the grass and shrubs dug up in the field, and it was not until night fell that they collected all the excess grass roots and shrub roots on the two plots of land.
"Folks, it's time for us to go home!" It was getting dark soon, and everyone was very excited to see the newly opened land under their feet, which still had the smell of earth.
They all sang mountain songs and returned home together.
Passing by the well at the entrance of the village, I simply washed the mud on my feet and hoes, and everyone went back to their homes.
There's still a lot of work to be done tomorrow!
"Fairy, why don't you come to my house for dinner tonight, I went up the mountain to catch pheasants today!" As soon as he finished washing his feet, Tang Wei heard a familiar voice behind him.
Looking back, it turned out to be Old Man Yang, who was looking at Tang Wei with anticrative expression on his face at this time.
"Okay!" Tang Wei immediately agreed, anyway, there is no one to cook for her now, and it is the best to be able to rub rice.
"Alas, I'll go too, I'll go too!" Hearing Old Man Yang say that there was a pheasant, Chi Li didn't even wash his feet carefully, and trotted all the way to follow.
He followed Old Man Yang all the way to his new house, and at this time, all kinds of furniture had been arranged in his house, which was exactly the kind that stood in the yard that day.
"Haha, you all rest first, I'm going to cook myself tonight, thank you two well." Yang Lao greeted Tang Wei and sat down on the bench in the hall, quickly served them a pot of tea, and went to the kitchen to work.
After a day of work, both of them were tired, and they didn't speak, so they took advantage of this moment to close their eyes and recuperate.
And Xiaobai had already run to the kitchen, looking at him with Yang Lao's disgusted eyes, watching him busy there.
Soon, there was a ping-pong chopping sound in the kitchen.
Then there was a sound of "rubbing" stir-frying, and soon, there was the hot sound of "gurgling" soup.
For a while, it was mixed together, but it was also quite wonderful.
"Serve, serve!"
After running quietly for a few weeks, Yang Lao served the food.
This meal is relatively simple, with two dishes and one soup.
But the rich fragrance wafting through the air, but no one would think that it was just an ordinary meal.
"Hmm... Tang Wei, this old man is so fierce, he won't give me a mouthful! Xiaobai followed behind Yang Lao, and when he saw that Tang Wei had already sat down, he threw himself into her arms, lying coquettishly.
"Go aside." Tang Wei threw Xiaobai to Chi Li, went in and took the dishes and chopsticks, put the rice on it, and started eating.
After a long day's work, isn't it a blessing to be able to eat such delicious food?
"Come on, drink some!" During this period, Yang Lao took out another bottle of old wine and poured a glass for everyone present.
Later, Yang Lao and Chi Li drank it away, and Tang Wei didn't dare to drink more since he knew that Qin Yin's body was not strong enough to drink.
After drinking a small cup shallowly, I felt a little dizzy in my head, and after running for a week of mental power to drive away the faintness, I concentrated on eating.
After a meal, there was still no vegetable soup left, and everyone went back to their respective homes, doing whatever they wanted.
Back in the room, Meimei took a bath, studied the medical book, and Tang Wei fell asleep.
The next morning, she was the first to go to the field, and after stretching her muscles, she began today's physical training.
