Pastoral Five Siblings

Chapter 247 The Waterwheel Incident

Zhongli Haosheng’s waterwheels have already produced [-] units, and all of them were snatched up by rich people. In the past few days, they have dug wells and started watering the fields to grow buckwheat. There are no rich people in Hexi Village. In order to survive, there are many The whole family digs wells together, and if each family can plant two acres of buckwheat, they can eat it for two months.

The yield of wheat is not high in the first place. After eating these days, every family has very little left, and there is no hope for autumn grain.

At this time, every family is anxious. If the buckwheat is a few days later, it may not be ripe, and there is no hope if the seeds cannot be plucked.

It's just that the poorest people, farmers who have no money to dig wells or buy water tankers, are even more worried. Zhongli Haosheng's promise to Mr. Chai to support the people has not yet been realized; Unable to do so, a few farmers tentatively asked Yuchun: "Princess! Can I borrow your well?"

The two farmers closest to Deyuchun, each with two mu

Acres of land were not planted.

Seeing Yuchun, they are very familiar, and they live not far away. His early crops are already half waist high. Will borrowing a well spoil his crops? It is also distressing to ruin a tree. The crops are not easy to grow. This year's grain With such a shortage, Yuchun was a little hesitant.

After thinking about it, he still agreed. The two families were very poor. If they didn't get any harvest, they would definitely starve to death. Teaching them to fish would be less of a loss than teaching them to fish.

Yuchun said, "If you borrow my well, you must be careful with the crop seedlings. This year, every seedling is a treasure. Be careful."

The two families agreed to leave happily. There were water trucks in several fields in Yuchun, and there was a well for two or three acres of land, and the land was irrigated very quickly.

Only Guadaijing has less land and more land.Watering is very slow, and the main energy is spent on this melon patch.

Every family was scrambling to dig wells, and rock digging became very popular at that time. Hexi Village organized a quarrying team, and vehicles became a hot commodity.

When the villagers heard that the two borrowed Yuchun's well and water truck, a dozen or so families were envious, and secretly hated that they had no other people's brains. It would be better to borrow money to dig a well, if the rain in the coming year would be good.This money is not spent.

As soon as the several families discussed it, the partnership found Yuchun, which was very polite, knowing that it was difficult to ask for help, and without the arrogance of the past, these families were relatively well-off in the village.I don't usually ask for help, and I always have high-mindedness and low-handedness, but I have never been low-key.

Today, I came to beg Yuchun, so I had no choice but to shame myself, and chose someone who could speak well to talk to Yuchun: "Princess, look. Our family is very hard-pressed, and we don't have enough money to dig a well. To bother the princess, let me borrow your well and hope that the princess will give it to you."

Yuchun's head hurts as soon as he heard it, and he knew that if he let go, he would cause great trouble, with dozens of families and dozens of families.After running for a few days, his land would have to be flattened.You might as well give them the land.

The entire mountain, just two pieces of emerald green, is such a precious treasure. If it is destroyed, my heart will bleed. If I can’t buy food, I can’t eat no matter how much silver or gold I have. I remember the old people said , During the war, a big pancake was exchanged for a golden bun, and half a pastry was exchanged for a daughter-in-law. Food is such a precious thing.

I have already lent out two houses, and they came to borrow because of those two houses. If they accept these houses, someone else will come to borrow again. My own land is simply flattened and let them toss about it. .

But if you don’t borrow it, you will offend a large group of people. Their mouths are double-skinned, their words are terrifying, and their mouths are fiercer than knives. I don’t want to be evil with the villagers. When Yuchun thought of this, being a princess really caused trouble. He had never been afraid of people's words before.

Thinking about it, it was the Tao family who sold her in the past, and I felt confident and confident, and resisted the shackles of the Tao family.

But these families are all well-off, stones have been transported in the field, and the well has been dug more than a foot deep, why did they suddenly quit?Thinking of borrowing my own well.

It is probably because of the heart of comparison. It is the instinct of human nature to imitate others. The few families who are well off should have brains, so why did they get confused about digging wells?

Yuchun thought quickly, and immediately came up with a countermeasure: "Uncle Zhang, your well has been dug halfway, why did you stop working? Drilling a well is a good thing once and for all. Hurry up and use it every year. My well has been borrowed for two years. Home, after they finish planting the land, you can use it again, the day lily is cold.

In addition, the Qin Tianjian in the capital is observing the sky. Starting from this year, there has been a severe drought for three consecutive years. If there is no well, the grain will not be harvested. Are you waiting to leave your hometown and go out to beg for food?With a few coins in your pocket, whether it is better to save it for travel expenses or to dig a well, you are all smart people, you are very good at weighing the pros and cons, use your own mind, and you will understand after a while.

Borrowing things is not as good as buying them yourself. Even if you borrow a sieve, you have to travel to waste time. An inch of time is worth an inch of gold. Time is the most precious thing, and money is the second.

Your wells will be dug in just three or two days, and the land will be planted soon. If you wait for more than ten days, the land will be delayed in planting and the well will not be dug, and you will suffer a big loss.

Although the drilling of wells is paid for by oneself, the water trucks take advantage of the country. If there are no wells, you will not be able to buy cheap water trucks. Figure out which one is right for you. "

Zhang Er had an idea, and turned around in his heart. This girl is very good at speaking, knowing whether what he said is true or not, she will understand after inquiring about it. If you don't buy water trucks, you can't drill wells.

Zhang Er smiled all over his face: "Princess, let's borrow your well to plant the land first. If we dig a well, it may take a long time to delay planting."

Uncle Zhang, you are a very smart person. Do you suspect that what I said is false? If you don’t believe me, go and inquire first. After half a month, my well will be free, and I will definitely lend it to you. It’s all from the village. Folks, I'd rather have my crops flattened than discredit you.

It's just that, not only did you delay planting crops, but you also had to spend full price on water trucks. "

"Why is this?" Zhang Er felt that he was very good at calculating, so how could he still be surrounded by others.

"Uncle Zhang, the half-fee for the water truck is conditional. The free water truck can only be obtained by people who rent and cultivate fields. They are considered poor people. The state takes care of the poor. People with land do not give free water trucks. It is me. I beg the Supreme Emperor to give our village free of charge. The period is only two months. If the land is all planted, it will not be sold to free water trucks. It’s not that you can sell it to you wherever you want. There is no land and no wells, so what do you want waterwheels for?

It is to prevent people from taking cheap goods and making money. Things are not as simple as you think, everything is easy to grab. "

Yu Chun's mouth was dry, being a princess is really a hard job, you don't have to talk to the Tao family, and it's exhausting to treat these people.

Zhang Er's face was flustered, and he looked at the other ten people. They all looked at him, and hurriedly stepped down the steps for Zhang Er: "Second brother, I really can't wait for the princess's well, let's dig a well." A group of people went out anxiously, discussing the true and the false all the way, but without the charter, Zhang Er was frustrated. He had always been able to influence other people's behavior, so why couldn't he guess what a little girl was thinking.

I suspect that her words are false, but I still feel a little convinced that what she said is true. Is the country so strict in handling affairs?

Yuchun is also struggling, people just can't talk too easily, their hearts are too soft, it seems that people want to take advantage of you, thinking of the days when I ate chaff and swallowed vegetables, it hurts the crops in the field even more, and if I step on it, I have to eat less meal.

It is only now that I understand why my mother and grandma are so good at living, because they have suffered from poverty, suffered hardships, and they have lived a life of eating bran and swallowing vegetables.

There is such a phenomenon in modern people, as long as the old people persuade their children to save money or not let them waste things, the children all have a common language, that is: it is not your era.The old people are so angry that they will say: There will be days when you will starve.

I am a rich second generation. Although I have been influenced by my grandma, I don't think things and food are important.

I really responded to the words of the old people, I was inexplicably brought to ancient times and starved, and I really tasted what it was like to have nothing to eat.

I am not afraid that they will damage my wells and waterwheels, or they will hurt those crops.

No matter how everyone doesn't consider other people's mood, they only think about their own little calculations, one step to the stage, two steps to the kang, three steps to the sky, no matter how they all have the same temper as Yongming, it seems that they are used to it.

If I finished sharing the money for the barbecue restaurant, I would separate from Yongming and the others, each doing his own thing, making a clear decision with the Tao family, not serving them food and drinking, not raising them for nothing, and Yongming would not be used to being too aggressive and think that he It should be nice to them.

After living for a long time, I think the house should belong to the Tao family, and the little girl is also like that. When I have no way to survive, I ask you for help. When I get fat and get used to eating and drinking, I think it should be divided.

Yuchun felt bitter for a while, and when she thought of Jingniang, she was comforted again, people are still different, why Jingniang and Li Xue are not like them.

After Jingniang left, Yuchun became more lonely, and only Li Xue was the only one who cared. That little girl didn't know what she was doing, and she never saw her again except for eating.

"Yuchun, those people are gone?" Li Xue shared her embroidery skills with Yuchun every day, and she hid when someone came.

"Let's go, so to speak, I finally got away with fooling around." Yu Chun's brows were still frowning.

"Forget it, the hearts of the people are not enough. I always want to save money, but I don't want to spend it. It's because you built a water tanker and the country lost money. Otherwise, those people don't know how to dig wells. There are many years of drought here, just watching It is deserted, and no one invests in digging wells, so why is it so poor, and there is no harvest in three or two years." Li Xue said and went to smooth Yuchun's brow. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
