Chapter 1,015 Fiscal Crisis (2)

Chu Qing was so confident that Li Hu nodded in cooperation, but he was wondering in his heart: Does Linyang Hou plan to take advantage of the opportunity to poison these people when giving medicinal materials, so as to directly exterminate the clan and seize territory?

No wonder Li Hu thought so.

First of all, from the perspective of a doctor, you should explain the properties and effects of the medicinal materials like him. For example, non-toxic, cold in nature, bitter in taste, and spicy in the whole herb can be used as medicine; it has the effects of clearing heat and relieving heat, eliminating steaming, and severing malaria; it can even be used as livestock feed.

Only those who want to poison others will say: "If you are sick, take this medicine, which can cure all thieves with illness."

Secondly, the Chu family on the island planted inexplicable food and collected people with different backgrounds. For example, the one with the surname Zhuo was obviously not an ordinary person, and his own Senior Brother Chao escaped from him.

The origin is unknown and he still gathers here. It is obvious that Linyang Hou had the intention to occupy the island.

In addition, five hundred people and five cannons were stuck not far away, what a powerful combat power!

Lin Yanghou planned to bombard him if he didn't die of poison?

Li Hu really didn't expect that Lin Yanghou had such an amazing weapon in private. He saw it with his own eyes when he was testing the cannon. Xiaoshantou said it would be bombarded!

Forget it, if Lin Yanghou really has this intention, then Li Hu can only help. Otherwise, Senior Brother Chao will have to live on this island in the future? It is always safe.

Chu Qing struggled to communicate with the woman, and Li Hu pretended to be an authority but couldn't help but think about it. The guardian dog that fully gave Chu Qing a sense of accomplishment suddenly straightened his neck and adjusted his direction slightly with his ears alertly.

Then the dog suddenly barked, and Chu Qing was about to bare his teeth and scare it again, when he heard the dogs in every household around him barking.

While they shouted, they moved slightly back and forth from time to time, just like the ground was very hot, but the direction of barking was very consistent - rice fields.

There were coconut trees and boathouses blocking their sight, and Chu Qing could not see anything, but a young young man had already climbed up the coconut trees and looked into the distance.

Xiaobao ran a few steps and rushed up a coconut tree a little further away, climbing faster than those natives.

He put a telescope on his face and soon saw the situation: "A group of people appeared at the end of their rice fields, well... people like them, with bows and arrows and dogs, chasing a group of wild boars..."

"No!" Xiaobao corrected: "It seems that the group of people drove a group of wild boars towards the rice fields here!"

A group of people drove a group of wild boars here?

After observing for a while, the indigenous young man on the tree began to shout and report to the villagers below what he saw.

Immediately, the villagers became noisy, and the villagers who were controlled by the Chu family seemed particularly anxious because they seemed to be the strongest young man in the village.

The woman didn't bother to negotiate with Chu Qing anymore. She pulled Chu Qing away and ran away. She hurriedly rushed down the slope, and there were already villagers running in front of her.

The controlled villagers were talking to the Chu family, pointing to the knife on their necks, and pointing to the rice fields.

They are indeed anxious.

There are two villages here, and they have been fighting for several years and almost every year.

The reason is to grab land.

The red-shelled dry rice here is very difficult to grow. Although the island is very hot, there is no winter, but the rice can only be harvested once a year.

In the temperature of the south of Daxuan, rice can reach two harvests, and the island is warmer. It should be fine if there are three harvests, but it cannot.

In Daxuan, the burning of wasteland by farmers refers to burning out weeds, shrubs, etc. on the wasteland before reclaiming the land. It can not only fertilize the fields, but also burn the wild grass seeds and insect eggs in the field, so as not to compete for nutrients with crops in the future.

But here is different. People here burn wasteland to select land and accumulate fertilizer.

This kind of red-shelled rice only grows on the mountain, so you need to choose a place in the mountains. There are trees in the mountains. In order to plant rice, they will cut down trees in pieces.

Then burn these cut trees into ashes and spread them into the soil as fertilizer.

The island is humid and hot, so men have to carry tools up the mountain while the drought season in February and March every year.

They carefully climbed from the bottom of the tree to the top, then turned from this tree to that tree, cut off the last leaf as much as possible, and split the cut trees into firewood and expose them to the sun.

This is not easy. When the firewood is dried, it will be burned into ashes and scattered into the ground.

In the weather on the island, it rains when gusts of wind, cutting trees is not easy, and it is even more difficult to dry them. If you burn them to ashes and have to store them, it is even more testable.

After the first rain in May, you can spread wood ash while the soil is soft, so that the wood ash can moisten into the land with the moisture before sowing seeds.

These natives planted dry rice in this way of slash-and-burn cultivation.

There are mountains and forests everywhere, but there are not many places for arable land. I finally chose a good place. It is very likely that this year it will be used, and a typhoon will destroy it.

The two villages, who were attracted by the same piece of land, came here to cut down trees, and no one allowed them to let each other, then an armed fight broke out.

The people are tough and they are scammed in groups, otherwise how could it be called an armed fight?

Therefore, death and injury are inevitable, and it becomes a deadly enemy.

Since they have become enemies, the one who has not seized the land will often come to destroy it. Either after the rice seedlings grow or when harvesting, they will be able to plant but not harvest.

In addition to this kind of artificial destruction, rice fields also have to be pecked by birds, especially when they reach maturity. This rice smells extremely strong and is particularly easy to attract various animals to grab food, such as roe deer and wild boar.

The yield of rice is low, and a harvest of only more than 100 kilograms per acre of land.

The indigenous people on the island do not have much food to cultivate, and red-shelled rice is the most delicious and nourishing food. People cherish it very much and must guard it to the death.

Now, the people from that village are making trouble again, but half of the people in this village have suffered from malaria. Their combat effectiveness is insufficient and many people are controlled by Chu Qing. How can you not be in a hurry!

But it was useless for them to be anxious. They chatted for a long time, but Chu Qing and the others couldn't understand it!

However, since those people drive away wild boars to destroy rice fields, they should not be the reason. If they waste food, they should die!

Chu Qing decided to take care of it.

She doesn't care about how these people fight, and it doesn't matter to her if the human brain strikes the dog brain, but she doesn't think that the wild boar can't waste food.

"Brothers, search the guys!" Chu Qing ordered: "I have meat to eat today! The pork must belong to us!"

Hulala, people quickly surrounded Chu Qing and ran down the hillside. Xiaobao hugged his telescope and hurried down the tree: "Hey, I said you wait for me!"
