Jiang Chao hurriedly got up and walked to the window in front of the bamboo building, only to see that in the direction of the river, a burst of smoke and dust was rising, and there were many people fighting there.

Seeing this, there was a look of surprise in his eyes. He had heard that there was often infighting among the Yelang clan.

Unexpectedly, on the first day of coming to the Yelang Clan, I saw it with my own eyes.

There was a sound of hurried footsteps in the bamboo building, and I saw Dong Likuo running in the direction of the fight with a firewood knife.

"Daddy, your injury is not healed, don't go......"

Dong Licai's nervous voice sounded behind her, and she also ran after her father.

Jiang Chao put on his clothes and hurriedly followed.

Soon, Jiang Chao rushed to a place not far from the river, and Song Xiaoya and Jiang Yun followed behind him.

The fight had stopped, and several people had separated the two sides of the fight.

It's just that the two sides of the fight glared at each other, their eyes were full of hatred, and it seemed that they might continue to fight at any time.

"Beiqiongfang, it's not that our Dongli clan doesn't give you face, it's really that the Nanming clan is too much. They said that the reservoir was divided into three parts, but they dug our reservoir and put all the water we had managed to store into their pool. ”

"Now that we have so little water here, how can we water the paddy fields, and when this day passes, all the rice seedlings in our fields will dry up......

"At that time, we will have no food to eat, will we still live in the Dongli clan? He Nan Ming doesn't want us to live, so we won't let them live. ”

It was a middle-aged man who spoke, and he looked angrily at the group of people opposite, and then looked at the middle-aged Dao in the middle.

"Hmph...... You are domineering from the east, relying on the territory near the river and forcibly occupying the river...... Our Nan Ming's lack of water to irrigate the paddy fields is the same death, you don't let us live, we don't let you live! ”

Among the people of the Nan Ming clan opposite, some people also fought back angrily.

The clansmen on both sides were again accusing and scolding, and they were about to fight again.

Seeing the angry crowd, Jiang Chao looked at Dong Licai on the side, and asked with open eyes.

"Cai'er, what's going on?! What forcibly occupies the river and does not let it live?! ”

Dong Licai looked at Jiang Chao, remembering what happened last night, a wave of shame swelled up on her face inexplicably, and she hurriedly explained to Jiang Chao.

It turned out that the matter was caused by the watering of the fields, and in addition to the old contradictions, there were many conflicts between the Dongli clan and the Nanming clan over the watering of the fields.

The wounds before the departure of the east were also wounded by the watering of the fields.

The three major clans of the Yelang clan, the Dongli clan and the Beiqiong clan are close to the river, while the Nanming clan is in the innermost. Their fields also belong to the innermost part of the plains.

The outside ones are Dongli and Beiqiong's.

In the field of irrigation, because the terrain of the field is higher than the river, if you want to irrigate, you have to manually carry water to the built reservoir.

It then flows through the cistern to the fields in the plains, and for this reason, the Yelang people spend too much manpower and material resources on watering.

Because the fields are dry, they have to be watered almost once every few days.

There is a tacit understanding between the three clans, although Dongli has a feud with Nanming, but it has not broken the lifeblood of people's survival.

Between them and the Northern Qiong tribe, another piece of land was given to the Southern Ming tribe as a reservoir.

It's just that Nanming's fields are close to the inside, and the water needed for irrigation is not a star.

But their cistern is too small to be able to water the fields.

Every year, no matter how much manpower and material resources are mobilized, nearly half of the rice seedlings will still die.

In desperation, he would often steal water from the reservoir of the Dongli clan. The water in Dongli's reservoir can only barely reach the irrigation of his own fields.

If they were intercepted by the Nan Ming clan, some of their rice seedlings would definitely die.

This is tantamount to a dead knot, and if it benefits this one, it will definitely damage the interests of the other.

The Northern Qiong clan also wanted to give a part of the water to the Nanming clan, but they could only barely protect themselves.

If the patriarch can agree, the people will not agree. After all, it's going to starve to death.

In the final analysis, it is because the reservoir does not have enough water storage capacity, otherwise, this situation would not have happened.

The reservoir is only a few meters away from the river, and the only trouble is that the terrain of the river is too low to meet the conditions for drainage and irrigation.

"They are all of the same clan, why fight for your life and death, isn't it just the watering of the fields?! It's not that hard. As long as you work together, it can be solved very easily, and everyone can have a good harvest. ”

Looking at the two sides who were noisy and about to fight, Jiang Chao said lightly.

As long as you dig a ditch by the river, build a rickshaw and step on it with a few people, you can meet the watering of several days in one day, or the watering of the entire field.

For the sake of this little thing, there is really no need to make a fuss about you.

With his voice, the people on both sides instantly fell silent, and everyone looked at him.

Dongli's side is better, and most people know Jiang Chao.

Everyone has a respectful attitude towards this outsider who shined last night.

It's just that the Nan Ming clan and the North Qiong clan on the opposite side are looking at him with strange faces, especially the Nan Ming clan, whose eyes are about to erupt with fire.

They felt that Jiang Chao was talking cool things, after all, they had also wanted to cooperate with the Dongli Clan and the Beiqiong Clan.

No matter how much hatred there is between them, survival is the big plan.

However, the result of the cooperation is that all three parties lose. In the year of the great drought, even their grain production was reduced by two-thirds. Less than a third of the food remains.

Originally, the annual food was barely enough for them to survive, and the drought that year made many people of the three major clans starve to death.

If it weren't for the mountain goods to satisfy the hunger, more people might have died.

Since then, the three major clans have had to be separated, and everyone has to take care of their own clansmen first.

"That's easy to say, Heli! Even if we do, do you think they will?! He left the clan in the east, wishing that our Nanming clan would die. Boy, I don't care where you're from, you'd better take responsibility for your own words. Otherwise, don't worry about me Nan Mingli being polite to you. ”

The middle-aged man on the opposite side looked at Jiang Chao coldly, his eyes were extremely cold. Someone beside him was already leaning towards Jiang Chao.

It seems that he is preparing to arrest this outsider who speaks cool words.

The Nan Ming clan itself was extremely hostile to the Han Chinese, which annoyed them, and they might have killed them.

Speaking of which, if it weren't for those Han officials, why would their Nanming clan and Dongli clan become enemies now.

"What do you want to do...... Brother Jiang is our honored guest of the Dongli clan, I see who dares to touch him. Dongli Mountain instantly blocked in front of everyone of the Nanming clan.

Along with him came Dong Likuo and some other members of the Dong Li clan.
