Return to the journey(119)
Fourth Master read the list once and then gave it to Tongtong.
Tongtong read it all and got it in his mind. Indeed, those who can donate tens of thousands of dollars to donate this money have a lot of money. Being able to donate directly to Zheng Tiansheng's hands further proves that their identity is very important.
Same as normal.
Zheng Tiansheng clicked on the list, "Phoenix...must be in it?"
Lin Yutong smiled, collected the list, and then said: "Brother Zheng, I can keep my composure and spend such a huge sum of money. How could I expose my fault because of my impatience? They are all status and decent people.
Donating money is doing good deeds and doing things that are beneficial to the people. If we hurriedly come up with it at this time, wouldn't it mean that there is no silver in this place?"
It means there is no need to rush yet! People have laid bait, so they are not in a hurry to close the net.
The Fourth Master then asked Zheng Tiansheng, "How have you been along the way?"
Forget it! There are many people begging for food along the road. This area looks better than the surrounding areas.
But the good is limited. When spring begins, not to mention crops, life is almost affected. You have to wait in line for water. If you can't wait, you go to the mountain pass to get water. A family has to wait for half a day for two buckets of water.
Some people from other villages downstream used donkey carts and oxen carts to find places upstream to pull water, but there was nowhere to line up.
That is to say, the well water is barely enough, and there are people queuing up all day long. The children can't do anything. The school mentioned earlier has been measured for several days, and it is said that construction will start in the spring. Now it is a food city.
If you can’t afford food, why go to school?
The children helped line up, and the adults carried water back and forth.
The shops on the street can't do business. There is no way to do it. The water supply is not available! For example, in the Ding family's mutton restaurant, a sheep is rinsed and washed every day. How much water does it take to cook the mutton soup?
What is sold here is actually water.
If her family needs a lot of water, others will not be happy with it.
What should we do? Sister Fang is dispatching water back and forth. She is a big-footed old woman. Let’s form a water team and go to each village. A family will be based on the population, three people will make a base. Brand-new wooden basins, one basin per person per day.
No one is allowed to specialize in water consumption.
As for those who do business, I will still give you so much for food and expenses. But if you spend money, you can still find someone to carry the money for you. Even if you go a little further, there is no other way. This is the only way now.
It's the same at home. There are four people in total including Yang Zi. They only have two buckets of water. Taking a bath is a luxury, don't think about it. I wash the face with water after you wash it. Don't pour it out after washing. At night, add some heat.
Water, you can also soak your feet.
The most you can do is wipe your body with a wet towel and that's it.
Fourth Master has always had the habit of drinking tea, but he doesn’t anymore. Try not to drink it, it’s too luxurious. Anyway, just hold it in for now and wait until you are really thirsty, then drink some.
Because the water is distributed in this way, the draft problem can be solved at least.
But then, the spring famine began. No matter how tight the security was, there were also many outsiders. Even if they were from other places, they were not far away. People from several surrounding counties came to beg for food and work. I heard that this place
There are factories, and everyone rushes here to find food that stutters.
Lin Yutong and Yang Xianhe squatted on the edge of the wheat field, pulled up the wheat and looked at it. There was no moisture at the roots. They stretched their hands into the soil, and they were all covered with dry soil. She said, "No, hurry up."
, these wheat seedlings can also feed livestock. If you are really hungry, you can eat these things. Just plant potatoes! Even if you water one nest after another, you can always harvest a little if necessary."
But the wheat has grown past the winter, and I can’t bear to part with it! If it rains, will I still be able to survive?
Many people have a mentality and say, just carry it through. Maybe if it rains, the other important things can be eaten in three or two months. Even if it is just a handful of green vegetable seeds, there is food in the stomach.
, just starve to death.
But sensible people know that this is a no-brainer.
The fourth master and Bage went out for a trip, and the water conservancy expert they invited before actually came. They were out for three days. When the fourth master came back, he said, "He is indeed a man of action, and he is a close friend of water conservancy. His
It has been three years since the blueprints were produced, but they have not been completed! I have asked for funds many times from above, but they have never been given. This time I went and met Professor Li and General Yang. General Yang had just supervised the administration of Qin Province.
However, he did not shirk the matter and directly accepted it. In addition to our funds, Professor Li raised part of it privately, and General Yang found a way to raise part of it. The water conservancy project there will be started at a later date. But if you want to use it, I'm afraid it won't take more than two years.
Time doesn’t work.”
But doesn’t repairing water conservancy projects require labor? If one laborer is employed per family, so many people will not starve to death.
But this use of people is ultimately limited.
More people were still affected by the disaster.
In April, the seedlings in the fields turned completely yellow. Telegrams from various drug stores said that medicinal materials could not be harvested. Drought occurred in most northern provinces, but it was not as serious as Qin Province.
This means that the supply of medicinal materials is really unavailable. Even the farms outside the capital, Ye Ying, sent a telegram saying that 80% of the seedlings were almost dead due to drought.
When it comes to medicinal materials, we can't say that we only use medicinal materials from the south, as this will not make medicine.
Who still thinks about medicine nowadays? When there is no food to eat, what do you need medicine for? People don’t die without medicine, they just starve to death.
There are no more children laughing in the village. The adults don’t move and are told to stay still. If they don’t move, they won’t be thirsty or hungry. The drought has killed the wheat seedlings and there is no harvest. But because of the influx of so many people on the construction site
, the manpower is extremely sufficient, and any factories or houses that are needed are built when the weather gets hot.
Hidden in the mountains and forests, the factory buildings are invisible from the bottom of the mountain and are completely blocked.
But the Fourth Master temporarily postponed the project on the grounds that the factory building needed to be dried. All the people were dragged away to repair the canals, leaving only a team of less than 3,000 people formed by his own family, stranded in the mountains.
Tongtong knew that besides wildfires, what Fourth Master was afraid of was also... If the factory were to be used now, then Zheng Tiansheng would inevitably close the mountain. If the mountain is closed, the people around him will not even have the last place to find something to eat.
.
Then let's wait until summer is over. As expected, when summer comes, the heat will be scorching.
After surviving the spring famine, what should we do if the summer grain fails to come down? The small family really can’t afford to sow the seeds for autumn grain, but the big family still wants to try. But who knows, within a few days of sowing the seeds, they will pull them out and bite them with their teeth.
, it’s so crispy. It definitely won’t work!
This is what really scares me.
Yang Xianhe came over and said, "Mr. Lin, fortunately you have banned smoking. Don't you know that in the early years, the good farmland here was no longer planted, and crops such as wheat, buds, and cereals were no longer planted. What should we plant?
Big | Smoke. In the past, our place could also be called the Land of Abundance. But later, no more grain was grown, and people’s homes had no food. It was later that smoke had no way out, and then grain was grown again. Our place is not that big.
Landowners, every household has some land of their own. Those who can save food are still saving food! Therefore, some people don't panic when spring comes. They probably eat the saved food carefully to survive for half a year. But now
The difficulty is not this, but that the taxes set by the higher authorities have come down again..."
No deduction?
"No! It's the same as in previous years." Yang Xianhe smiled bitterly and looked at Lin Yutong, "Mr. Lin, what are you going to do?"
Lin Yutong was stunned. What do you mean? Are you asking me to take the lead in shouldering the tax?
If we don't pay taxes to the superiors, it means that we have to occupy this territory independently. Lin Yutong did not follow these words and only said, "Brother, you tell me to slow down, I will try to follow the superiors.
Let’s communicate again. See if we can find an intermediary to pass the message on to the higher ups.”
Yang Xianhe smiled and agreed, but when he turned to talk to Bago, he said, "Old Ji, the best way now is to go to the prostitution area in the city. However, I mentioned this matter to Mr. Lin, but Mr. Lin never seemed to do it.
After thinking about it this way, she still has illusions about today’s government.”
Bage: "..." This old Yang actually took up Xiao Lin's job. He couldn't tell clearly, so he just said: "You have to think about it... General Yang is in charge of today's water conservancy projects...
...He is very attentive to people's livelihood... Moreover, he wants to transport the minerals that he is looking at... This place must not become an independent kingdom... I have mentioned this matter once... and I am happy. I just think it is you who is complaining...
…Don’t say anything like this again.”
Yang Xianhe didn't have time to say, really! People could be roasted alive that day, and cracks as wide as a finger opened in the ground, making it impossible to do anything.
The heat was too hot to be tolerated. Lin Yutong and Fourth Master stayed in the vegetable cellar with their children during the day, waiting for time to go out. They couldn't bear it anymore.
There is a cave in the mountain, and Huaizi and the others are leading people in the cave.
Many people have gone to the mountains and started looking for wild things to fill their stomachs. Common wild vegetables, hares, pheasants and the like, Xiaotong loves to get them. She sets traps where there is water. Every now and then, she can always get one.
The high temperature lasted for twelve or three days. Lin Yutong told Xiaotong not to run into the mountains. "If there is a mountain fire, this is no joke."
It won’t happen!
Don't be harsh, just stay calm. In order to avoid her running away, I called Old Wu back to watch her.
Sure enough, on the fifteenth day of high temperature, around two o'clock in the afternoon, smoke seemed to come out.
The old man in the village was resting under the shade of a tree. When he saw it, he shouted anxiously, "Who is lighting a fire in the mountains... How dare you light a fire in this kind of weather..."
Where is the fire?
When Huaizi and his men retreated from the mountain, the whole mountain seemed to be engulfed in flames.
I don't know how many people came out of their houses and cellars to watch. Everyone's expressions were numb, and they could do nothing except watch.
Are you crying? Howling? It takes too much effort to cry and howl, and I don’t have enough energy to shout.
At this time, I really feel that I can only take what God gives me.
Old Wu sighed on the side, "The emperor in ancient times knew where there was a disaster, so didn't he have to provide disaster relief and reduce taxes? How come they shouted that they were masters, masters, masters, but they didn't care whether the people lived or died...
Then what kind of master is this?"
After saying this, Lin Yutong really wanted to rebel!
