Chapter 150: A Harvest

The few people who had been working with Qin Yi before, after experiencing the heavy rain and the destruction of the terraced fields that had been repaired, didn't listen to what they said? I don't know what they thought in their hearts? They must have retreated, because they sent Qin Yi back everything they were working for. He also said that these are hoodoos, and he still uses the machete all the time, so he can rest assured.

Qin Yi's plan is perfect, but the project is not small, it takes time to realize, and the most important thing is to do it.

When the family was getting up early and working late, the patriarch and several respected elders in the village came to look for Qin Yi, and they came to stop him.

The reason is: how is this land planted? It has been handed down from the elders. How many years have you been doing this, how can you say that change will change?

Qin Yi knew that it was very important to convince these old people, so he patiently and meticulously expressed his thoughts.

However, these people do not go to their hearts at all. Insisting on digging the mountain like this will anger the mountain god and destroy Qin Yixiu's field, which is the punishment of the mountain god.

Qin Yi clarified that the destruction of the terraces was caused by heavy rain, and that the drainage problem had not been solved before.

Neither side could convince anyone, and finally Qin Yi said: Digging the mountain is his own business, and a good man is a good man. If the mountain god wants to punish, just punish him Qin Yi alone, it has nothing to do with the villagers?

Neither side could convince anyone, and the end result was an unhappy breakup.

Qin Yi has a characteristic, what he recognizes is something that ten cows can't pull. There was no way to convince these old men, although Qin Yi was a little frustrated, but Qin Yi's determination was unshakable. What can't a few old blockers change?

The patriarch and these respected elders are equivalent to the council of this village. This kind of council is only to discuss matters and make proposals, and it is generally not possible to decide anything without the authorization of all the villagers. That is, who cannot be forced to do what and what not to do?

There is a celebrity who has studied that the patriarchs of such a group have very little power, and they are not as big as the officials under the autocratic system. But they are respected and supported in a way that monarchs and heads of state under other systems do not get. Because for the former, people are heartfelt, and they are convinced. There is no worship, superstition, and blind obedience in this kind of support, nor is it a surrender under power. Of course, there is no boasting, and there is no god-making movement.

In fact, the most important thing is to limit the power of individuals. When personal power is great, it is easy to be ambitious, easy to get carried away, and easy to do whatever you want. It is also easy to be surrounded by disgusting flattery and blowing, and he himself is fluttering because of this, and he is so forgetful that he even faints. In fact, what each of us lacks most is self-knowledge.

After walking so many remote places, Qin Yi knew this rule.

A good man is a good man, Qin Yi has already said it home. When the patriarch and several elders spoke up, they fulfilled their responsibilities. As for whether or not to listen to the old man, how much loss he may suffer in the future? That is Qin Yi's own business?

Hard work pays off, and hard work always pays off. After the hard work of the family, the terraces with reservoirs and drainage systems were built again.

No matter how perfect the plan and idea are, it still has to be verified by practice. Coincidentally, a few days after the terraces were repaired, there was another heavy rain, and the scale was much larger than the previous one.

Qin Yi didn't know the bottom in his heart! he was guarding the ground in the rain. After the rain fell, the drainage system worked very well, the terraces were intact and the reservoir was still full of water.

Qin Yi was overjoyed and ran back to tell his family the good news.

There are many people who have thoughts about this rain, especially the patriarch and a few elders.

They didn't want to see Qin Yi's jokes, they just hoped that he would turn around after hitting his head against the south wall. After the rain stopped, they hurried over to look, and what they saw with their eyes surprised them. Didn't hear what they were saying? I can't know what I think in my heart?

It's just that I heard that those people who gave up halfway seem to regret it.

Of course, what they regretted even more was later. didn't wait for the harvest, seeing the growth in Qin Yi's terraces, everyone could already see what was going on?

On the hottest days, there was a drought. Although it did not last long, slash-and-burn farming, without any soil and water conservation, was largely wiped out as a result.

Qin Yi's reservoir played a role at a critical moment, sending water over when crops needed it most.

Qin Yi's terraced fields have had a bumper harvest. With such a small piece of land as Qin Yi, the harvest of grain exceeded that of the entire village. Qin Yi's family

took out a part of the grain to help the whole village, but this is just a drop in the bucket?

Fortunately, the people here still have many ways to survive, and they have finally survived this difficult year.

The facts are more convincing than anything else, the patriarch and a few elders came to Qin Yi again, this time to discuss with Qin Yi: how to promote Qin Yi's practice in the whole village?

Qin Yi was waiting for this day, and he already had a complete plan. First of all, it is necessary to use advanced production tools, otherwise it is impossible to increase production capacity.

At this time, Qin Yi said that everything was right. The patriarch and several elders agreed, and the machete would definitely not work to do such a big job. But where is this advanced production tool?

Qin Yi said that he had prepared these advanced tools for everyone a long time ago. Because during this time, Qin Yi's family did not run to the county seat?

With advanced tools, the second thing is the unified planning of the whole village. How should small reservoirs be arranged? How should water collection and drainage be built? How should terraced fields be arranged? Whoever wants to do what he wants? The third thing is to organize the labor force of the whole village.

What does it mean? To do such a big thing, you need cooperation, you need cooperation, you need collective strength.

Qin Yi once saw a book that said that the combined production capacity is much higher than the sum of the simple sum of individual individuals. In fact, there is a lot of work that one person can't do.

Although the patriarchs and elders could not fully understand Qin Yi's thoughts, they trusted Qin Yi wholeheartedly at this time, and they all accepted Qin Yi's opinions.

They were entrusted by the majority of the villagers to come to Qin Yi, that is to say, they were authorized by the majority, so they had the right to make decisions.

Qin Yi painted a prospect for everyone: as long as he does what he thinks, in two to three years, the whole village can achieve food self-sufficiency.

The prospect is beautiful and particularly enticing.

Yes, there are many ways for everyone to survive, and that is because there is not enough food to eat? Who doesn't know that food is delicious? Who doesn't know that food is reliable? A beautiful vision can inspire a lot of enthusiasm and motivation at a certain time, and in this ancient village, it is full of vitality at this time.

Under the leadership of Qin Yi, most of them are full of pride and dedication to the work of changing the world.

Why the majority? Because in such a village, such action is still voluntary by everyone, not compulsory by everyone.

Some people are used to living a leisurely life in the past and are unwilling to make such a big effort. Although these people are few, they have a negative impact on those who make great efforts?

Qin Yi asked the patriarch and the elders how to solve this situation? The patriarch said that we have no right to ask them what to do? But we have our own methods, and we can't control them, we can ignore them in nothing.

As soon as the news broke, these people could not stand it anymore, because in such a group, the punishment for those who were abandoned was harsher than the punishment of death, because everyone could not survive without the group.

These people didn't expect their actions to have such consequences? They were scared and they regretted it. Weeping bitterly and asking to return to the community, pleading with the community to accept them again.

The patriarch and everyone were just scaring them, because such a group really couldn't bear to abandon anyone?

Everyone followed Qin Yi in vain, and two years later, the whole village not only achieved self-sufficiency in food, but also had surplus food for every family. After solving the problem of eating, Qin Yi was not satisfied, and he started the second plan.

Can't just stutter, even though the whole village is satisfied, even though they have reason to be satisfied, because they have never lived like this?

There are treasures all over the mountains, but they are not discovered, especially herbs. Qin Yi knows herbal medicine and is also an expert in dealing with herbal medicine, and now he is about to show his skills.

He taught the villagers how to recognize herbs, how to pick them, how to keep them, and how to cure diseases. Because Qin Yi often uses herbal medicine to treat everyone. But what are you doing with so many herbs? I haven't heard of anyone in the village who is sick?

However, the villagers just thought so in their hearts, and did not say anything. Because now everyone has decided that listening to Qin Yi is right?

After a while, Qin Yi collected all the herbs that everyone had picked. The family was transported down the mountain and delivered by wheelbarrow to the county pharmacy in exchange for money. Then the money was used to buy salt, cloth and commonly used daily necessities, and transported them to the bottom of the mountain by wheelbarrow, and then the family carried them over the mountain again and again to the village and distributed them to everyone.

Only then did everyone know that this herb still has such a great use? In the off-season, it is also a wait, and since the herb has such a great use, then it is better to go and collect the medicine.

There are too many medicines, and the pharmacies in the county town are no longer accepted, Qin Yi thinks of those pharmacists he is familiar with. It's not good for him to come forward, so he asked Uncle Tian and Xiaoyan to find a way to find them.

Set a date, negotiate the price, and deliver the goods in the county seat. So it was exchanged for money, and the money was bought into things, and the things were distributed to the villagers. Following Qin Yi, these days are getting better and better, and they are getting more and more popular. Qin Yi became more and more popular with the people in the village. Who doesn't want to live a good life? How can a person who leads everyone to a good life not be loved by everyone?

This love comes from the heart.

How can you say it? There are patriarchs in the village, there are elders with high moral virtues, although Qin Yi is nothing now, he can speak better than anyone else?
