As a lord, I was forced to farm

Chapter 598 Methods to deal with drought

The straight-line distance between Yunshang Mountain and Suling County is almost 500 kilometers. If a drought really occurs, the scope of the impact may be larger than imagined!

"Well done, Li Nongsi, I read you right." Jiang Ran held the booklet Li Yiniu brought over like a treasure, "If you hadn't noticed it in advance, I, Suling, would have fallen into irreparable danger. "

Unexpectedly, the impact would be so great, and a look of surprise flashed across Li Yiniu's honest face.

……

Jiang Ran quickly summoned the county officials. When they heard that there might be a severe drought, everyone's expressions changed drastically.

Especially the older officials. They had witnessed an unprecedented ten-year drought more than 20 years ago, which covered the entire land of Yunshang and Hanyuan, leading to wars in troubled times. It was really a terrible time at that time. Life is ruined.

"Hopefully it won't be as serious as it was then!"

Lin Sha said, "County Lord, no matter whether it rains or not in the hot summer, we must make complete plans to deal with the situation that may arise in the future."

Jiang Ran nodded slightly, "If there is a drought, the first thing is the food problem. After two years of accumulation, the county's granary has stocked up some food, but it is still unknown whether it will be enough. But fortunately, Suling is close to the sea, so the county There are more than ten fishing boats in the county, and there are dozens of Fengling ships! The construction of unfinished roads in the county is temporarily suspended. Lin Sha, you send people from every household to recruit young and strong laborers to fish and hunt. Get dried into dry goods for emergencies! ”

Lin Sha immediately handed over his hand and said, "I will accept my order."

"My lord, I suggest that every household dig a cellar to store potatoes, sweet potatoes and other fruits and vegetables." Chen Mao suddenly stepped forward and suggested, "It doesn't take much effort to dig a cellar. A larger cellar can be completed in ten days at most." Finish."

"Okay, then Chen Qing's family will organize the people to dig cellars to store food."

Jiang Ran held her chin with her fingers, thinking. If there is a drought, then the demon spirits will have to play their role.

For example, this year's spring harvest, if it weren't for the red crystal wheat monster, the harvest would be more than just reduced when the wheat is short of water and cold.

But the wheat monster has completely transformed into a red crystal wheat monster. Jiang Ran will not let it go back to the past and come into contact with the genes of ordinary wheat, otherwise it will ruin its future.

Thinking of this, Jiang Ran raised her eyelids and looked at Wu Yun, "How many crop demon spirits like wheat spirit bugs can be sold with the county's funds?"

Wu Yun was slightly startled, "Food crop demons are relatively expensive, but if they are just demon insects, more than ten should not be a problem."

Thanks to the trading port of Xinheng County, the two major chambers of commerce of Qingchen and Shuxu, the development of fisheries, etc., the county has made more than 500,000 spiritual crystals in more than two years.

"I remember that there are wheat worms and potato worms in several surrounding territories. Do you think you can buy these demon spirits from them?"

Qiu Baishui said, "Wheat, rice, and potatoes are the foundation of a land. Smart lords will not buy and sell these demon spirits easily. However, in my opinion, the lords of the surrounding territories may not be as wise as you, so I will I think you can give it a try.”

Lin Sha pursed his lips with a faint smile and said to Jiang Ran, "It is still unknown whether this corner of Yunshang is drought, and I am afraid that I am the only one in Suling who has noticed this strange situation. Recently, other places have imitated my Suling farming method. The result is a sign of contempt for the demon spirits. I think we should hide the drought for the time being, keep a low profile, and send Prime Minister Yun to negotiate first. There is an 80% chance that we can bring back three or two demon spirits!"

……

Knowing that there may be a drought in the future, the atmosphere in Suling County has changed slightly.

Suling County has long been on the alert for several major surrounding territories. Yun Xiang quietly went to several township and town-level territories with wheat spirit insects and potato spirit insects. After several rounds of pulling, with an average of 42,000 spiritual crystals, he Price brought back three demon spirits. These three spirit worms are two wheat worms and one potato spirit worm.

The existence of these three spirit insects can ensure that Suling County will not lose its harvest when drought comes, but the demon spirit insects are just demon spirit insects after all, and they have no ability to turn the tide.

Before the drought hit, food prices were not that expensive, so the chamber of commerce in the county took action and bought food from other places.

After buying the demon spirit bugs, Chen Mao and Rang began to visit around to persuade people to open cellars at home. He also revealed that the price of food might increase in summer and persuaded people to hoard food.

The people of Suling were originally very obedient to the orders of their lords, but the information revealed by Chen Mao and other officials made those who were keen feel a bit strange.

On the other side, the roads under construction in Suling were forced to suspend, but fortunately, the main roads in Suling County were almost completed.

The craftsmen who built the roads were assigned to build the reservoir.

Now, the young and middle-aged people gathered have arrived in Nanzhu Village. There are more than 2,000 of these young and middle-aged people. They are organized into a hundred teams and divided into boats and time periods for fishing.

They will not be paid, but part of the fish they catch will be given to the crew to take back. In addition, if they are unfortunately killed during the voyage, the territory will provide compensation and subsidies to their families.

Foreign businessmen entering and exiting Xinheng's trade found that Xinheng Town's management was stricter, and the pass also restricted the number of people entering and exiting.

The junction of Suling and Zeyan.

Ever since Jiang Ran won Chaoyang Town, the Zeyan army has been constantly harassing the Chaoyang border. Even though they were beaten to the point of pissing by the Shence Qingqi Army some time ago, after a while, the Zeyan forces who did not remember to beat them have resurfaced. .

But he was not as bold as he was at the beginning. He was always testing the bottom line of what Suling County could tolerate.

Today's Zeyan Army also committed crimes at the border as usual.

For example, they deliberately pretended to be hunting and fired one or two cold arrows into Chaoyang Town. Although no one was hurt, it was enough to frighten the people of Chaoyang and the Chaoyang garrison.

Another example is peeing on the dividing line. Although it is not lethal, it is very disgusting.

In the past, the Chaoyang garrison didn't pay much attention to these disgusting things, but I don't know what happened now. The officers and soldiers of Zeyan County were just testing the border line as usual, but Suling County didn't seem to be afraid of causing a fight between the two counties. .

If Zeyan County dares to shoot arrows at the land of Chaoyang Town, the Chaoyang garrison will dare to shoot the person who shoots the arrow directly. If the people of Zeyan County dare to cross the dividing line by an inch, the Chaoyang garrison will dare to cut off the Zeyan people who cross the boundary line. Salt man’s dough!

The people of Zeyan were very aggrieved. Why did this person change inexplicably and treat others so harshly? But later he found out that Suling was not only so "severe" to them, but also expelled other territories equally, so he somehow became balanced?

……

At present, Jiang Ran appeared in Qingshan Village riding a red horse, followed by Li Yiniu and several Yulin guards.

Li Yiniu said that Biquan Bay had not been affected by precipitation and the flow rate had decreased. Jiang Ran guessed that it might be the function of Lingquan, so she took people to check it out.
