287, Land
"No money."
Wu Xing touched his nose in a daze, and replied with two words very boldly, if they had that silver, would they still need to settle in Baiyun Village?
As we all know, Baiyun Village is the worst in several villages, can you expect the people who live here to be rich?
Even if there is a little money, everyone will save it for emergencies, and besides, the village is not completely devoid of water, but it is just a matter of spending a little time to fetch water in the mountains.
But for them, the most is time, anyway, they are idle and have nothing to do, and it is not a matter to go back and forth to the mountain to pick up water, since they have water to drink, they will naturally not spend money to dig wells anymore.
You must know that it costs three to five taels of silver to dig a well, and the seven of their families together are afraid that they don't have so much silver, after all, Pingsha Town is really poor, everyone has no livelihood, and there is not enough food to eat, even the life in the town is tight.
“.” The crowd fell silent for a moment, and the reason was so good and powerful that it was completely difficult to refute.
Li Ming opened his mouth and said, "Why don't we pool money together to dig a well, it's not a matter of going up the mountain to fetch water every day, it's really a bit troublesome, now that we have a lot of people, each family doesn't need much silver." ”
"What Village Chief Li said is reasonable, I am also in favor of digging a well, this water is what we need every day, if we have to go back and forth to the mountain to fetch water every day, it will be too delayed to do things."
Song's father also said that the matter of digging a well is more important and necessary, and it is very dangerous for the people in the village to let women go up the mountain to carry water, and it is better to use it for a variety of plots of land if there is that time.
There's nothing wrong with spending a small amount of money to be able to do it once and for all.
"What do you say?" Village Chief Li still turned his head and asked the people in the village, although he was the village head, he was not a word, and he would follow everyone's opinions when it came to money.
"Then a well must be drilled."
"It's also tiring to go up the mountain and carry water every day."
"The work in the fields has not been solved yet, so how can I have time to go up the mountain to fetch water every day."
"There are so many of us, it's cost-effective for a family to get together."
"Let's fight, then."
So, the matter of drilling the well was decided on the spot, which made Wu Xing, who witnessed the whole process, smack his tongue for a while, is this the benefit of having more people?
Sure enough, there are many people and great strength!
It's better for a village to be more popular, and no matter what you do, you can save a lot of effort.
Things that were relatively difficult for the seven of them, but now they were easily decided, not too easy, at this moment, he suddenly had a feeling that Baiyun Village was going to come alive, and he began to look forward to the days to come.
"Village Chief Wu, the people on our side are fine, do you see how many families in your village agree?" Li Ming did not forget to ask Wu Xing's opinion.
"If there are so many of us who share it equally, they should be fine, I'll ask them later." Wu Xing didn't dare to pack the ticket immediately, after all, the situation of the seven families was different.
Father Song then said, "Brother Wu, you are familiar with the surroundings, so you will be troubled by finding someone to dig a well, no matter whether a few families in the village are willing or not, we will definitely dig a well here." ”
"No problem, this is what I should do, after all, digging a well is also a good thing for our Baiyun Village." Wu Xing said happily.
"Okay, then that's it."
Then, the men began to talk about going up the mountain to chop firewood, which is all deep mountains and old forests, not the kind of mountains and forests that can be entered and exited casually in everyone's hometown, so they must be explained clearly in advance to avoid someone accidentally breaking into the dangerous area.
On the other side, after Xia Ning heard the reason, she silently turned around and entered the tent and took out a large bucket of mineral water from the porcelain basin space.
Fortunately, they also made more preparations in the wholesale market before, but they did not hesitate to buy anything that could be used, especially food and water, which were the top priorities.
After a morning of driving, Xia Ning didn't want to let people go up the mountain to carry water anymore, don't think that you won't be tired if you have a car to sit on, just in ancient times, this kind of mud road will only be more tiring.
As for the reason?
Two days ago, they picked up people and came back, and the car was also loaded with supplies, but what was loaded, that is, she had the final say.
"Then when will the well be drilled?"
Song Shaoqin replied, "I should go to find someone tomorrow." ”
"That's good, there is not enough water source, how inconvenient it is for everyone to wash."
Xia Ning herself is not worried, she can go back to the modern home at any time with her boyfriend to wash, but others can't.
And there are so many people in the Song family, she can still find an excuse to cover up the water source for a day or two, but if it takes a long time, even if she has space, she won't have to take it out.
The best thing to do is to solve the problem at its root.
"Let's go." Xia Ning washed her hands and got up to her boyfriend.
Song Shaoqin subconsciously asked, "Where are you going?" ”
"Go and see the land in the village."
When Wu Xing mentioned that the land in the village could not grow food at all, Xia Ning felt very curious, she had written ancient sayings and farming texts before, and some knowledge points had also checked the information, as long as it was not too professional agricultural knowledge points, then there was no problem.
Hearing this, Song Shaoqin raised his eyebrows with interest and quickly followed.
At present, there are only four crops in Baiyun Village, which should have been reclaimed when the villagers moved in, and now they are overgrown with tenacious wolf's tail grass.
It is estimated that there was no food growing in the fields later, so these plots of land were abandoned.
Xia Ning squatted down after picking up the weeds, reached out and pinched a pinch of soil and rubbed it, and then observed the terrain, and finally came to a conclusion.
"It's really sandy soil, in fact, this texture is not bad, although it can't grow your native food, but it can grow other food"
According to the soil texture, it can be divided into three categories: sandy soil, clayey soil, and loam soil.
Among them, loam soil is undoubtedly the most ideal soil texture, suitable for growing various crops, while clay soil contains a lot of nutrients, suitable for growing crops with a long growth cycle, such as rice, barley, wheat, beans, etc.
Sandy soils are suitable for crops with short cycles and poor tolerance, such as peanuts, watermelons, cotton, and even sweet potatoes, potatoes and sorghum.
After listening to Xia Ning's explanation, Song Shaoqin asked with a little excitement, "Sweet potatoes and potatoes are also OK?" Does that have an impact on the yield and condition? ”
Along the way, they have eaten a lot of sweet potatoes and potatoes-related foods, and the tastes are very rich, if they can be used as staple foods, they can greatly reduce the lack of staple food production.
If the wasteland of Nanban is suitable for growing sweet potatoes and potatoes, then they really have food in their hands and don't panic, and food is the greatest confidence in any battle.
If their Song family masters the lifeblood of one party's grain, then many things will also be in the driver's seat.
But at the moment, he is more worried about whether the sweet potatoes and potatoes grown in this sandy soil can meet the standard that Ning Ling said before? After all, there are thousands of years between this era and modern times, and the soil texture must be different.
