The weather was not good the next day, with dark clouds covering the sun and strong winds, but the faces of the people in Shang and Tang Dynasties showed a look of excitement. Tang Lin could understand this, because there was a drought in Shang and Tang Dynasties. Since the beginning of summer this year,
It hasn’t rained yet. The county town area has the Xiaotang River running through it and it can still be maintained, but the remaining towns and villages are already short of water to a certain extent.
Wells in many places have dried up, and most of the seedlings in the fields have died.
It's just that Chu Feifei definitely doesn't like this kind of crazy weather. Chu Feifei has always liked the bright sun, just like the smiling expression on her lips.
After having breakfast very early and going out, Tang Lin stood in front of the garden square and looked at the sky, "This rain should temporarily alleviate the drought in the surrounding areas."
Unexpectedly, Yue Duo raised his head to look at the sky, and then smiled very playfully, "You are too naive. This rain will only be in the county area at most, and the villages and towns outside that are really short of water will not get a drop. Haven't you heard of Shili Road?
Different, what if it doesn’t rain across the river? Because there is a Xiaotang River in the county area, the water vapor can rise to form dark clouds and rainfall. The land in other places has long been dry and cracked, where does the water vapor come from? And the water of Xiaotang River is just like that
, not only that, the amount of water is also decreasing year after year, so this cloud is only enough to rain in this area."
Tang Lin was stunned. To be honest, he had never studied this. The county in his hometown was not developed, but it never had droughts. Although it was not rainy, at least he never had to worry about it not raining. So he had nothing special in this regard.
Impression, besides, he doesn’t need to study this kind of thing in the army all year round.
He only needs to study the weather and climate conditions in the mission area and battlefield.
"What about the surrounding villages and towns?" Tang Lin asked subconsciously.
"What should I do? Of course there is no way. If it is in villages and towns with relatively better conditions, at least large-scale farmland irrigation projects can be built. But the Shang and Tang Dynasties were firstly very poor and had no money at all; secondly, even in the few places with waste
Even after all the efforts of nine cows and two tigers, it basically doesn’t work. Why? Because the weather is so dry that even the wells used by humans and animals to drink water have dried up. Where will the groundwater come from to irrigate the farmland?”
"Also, most of the land in this place is mountainous and hillside. You saw it on the way here. There are very few fertile flatlands like Zhongqiang Village. Let's put it this way, Zhongqiang will be in good times.
One acre of land in the village can produce 2,000 kilograms of grain, and the most it can produce here is six to seven hundred kilograms. The difference is so big. So the final result is that we can only watch the harvest fail, and then everyone who still has some strength, whether it is ten
Children aged seven or eight or old people in their fifties or sixties have to pack up their luggage and leave their hometowns to work outside. The wages from working must be sent home on a monthly basis, otherwise the family cannot afford to pay the electricity bill or buy rice and noodles.
It’s completely unwatchable.”
"There is basically no income in Shangtang County every year. There are at least 7,000 people waiting for relief from the county to survive. This is by no means a small number. It is a bit shocking."
Yue Duo's words made Tang Lin feel uncomfortable. What's this? Is this the status quo? He suddenly felt helpless. No wonder Yue Zhonghua would make such a layout. Huh, who can do this in such a situation and with such geographical conditions?
Can you lead the people in the county out of poverty and become rich?
Some things depend on the basics. He can become the super soldier king of the Black Panther, but what about Heizi? No matter how hard Heizi works and is not afraid of death or fatigue, it is useless, because his physical condition is simply impossible to be selected as a special soldier, let alone a special soldier.
Ordinary arms are not required.
Nowadays, the competition for serving in the military is huge, with comprehensive competition in all aspects.
There are good ones and there are bad ones, and everyone knows these.
"Are you a little dumbfounded? So do you really think that Shangtang is a Zhongqiang village? Do you think that just by attracting a few wealthy people here to invest in and build factories, you can invigorate the county economy and improve people's living standards? It is simply not realistic. You
You should have seen the Qianjin Village that we passed yesterday. The people watching the excitement were all old, weak, sick and disabled, and there was no strong labor force at all. Even the men who applied for the door-to-door son-in-law were all with varying degrees of handicaps, and they were not too young.
Now. What the people in the villages and towns of Shang and Tang Dynasties are thinking about is not how to get rid of poverty and become rich, but how to move out of this poor place. Whether it is marrying their daughter, working together as father and son, or seeking refuge with relatives and friends in other cities. Anyway,
The sooner I can move out, the sooner I will be happy."
"Are you wondering why I know so much? Firstly, because I am Yue Zhonghua's daughter. My father has been paying close attention to the extremely poor people in Shangtang County over the years. You must not have heard the word "absolute poverty" for a long time, right? Secondly, I
I am a doctor. Not only rich people will get sick, but poor people will get sick more. Therefore, I can only do my best in the hospital to help those poor people who cannot afford medical treatment. It is not that I am kind-hearted, but that doctors are kind-hearted. This is a doctor.
Instinct. Just like being a policeman, you have to catch thieves and direct traffic, and being a soldier, you have to pick up a gun to defend the country. So I have seen far more poverty, despair, and ugly things than you have seen.
There are often children in the hospital who run away secretly after giving birth, not because they don’t want to raise them but because they can’t afford them; not to mention the fact that the family members of an elderly person disappear en masse as soon as they are hospitalized, which would happen every few days. If it hadn’t been for the brainstorming I carried out.
Surgery can make enough money, but the hospital has closed down a long time ago. It is impossible to survive today just relying on the funds of the health system above. So now you know why I am so hesitant and why I feel that I can't leave the hospital, right?"
"You have your responsibilities and burdens, and so do I."
Tang Lin didn't speak for a long time. From the bottom of his heart, he couldn't accept the evil behavior of parents abandoning their children and children abandoning their parents. But the reality is that when they abandon their children and their parents, they give their children and their parents nothing at all.
Parents have a way out.
At least there is Dr. Yue in the hospital. At least their children and parents will get the care and treatment they deserve in the hospital. At least they won't be thrown out to die. Dr. Yue will help the children find an orphanage and help the elderly.
Find a nursing home. Many of them also know that this is wrong, very wrong.
Therefore, there is often a basket of eggs and two big white geese in front of Yue Duo's house, and then there are a few crumpled banknotes soaked in sweat and sadness in the basket.
They also know that a lot of money was advanced by Dr. Yue himself. They are not heartless people, but what should they do? The windows at Yue Duo's house never need to be cleaned by themselves, and the large garden at her house is always secretly taken care of by someone except Luo Xue.
Run in and help clean up.
Many times, without her knowing it, various seeds have been planted in the vegetable field. It is not until they grow that she realizes, oh, my vegetable field is edible again.
