Daqin: Qin Shihuang Visited The Stalls At the Start

Chapter 461 The dry season is coming! Daqin's countermeasures!

"Eldest son, it is now the season of drought and locusts. Although Su Yu has taken precautions half a year ago, it should not be careless." Meng Yi reminded softly.

Fusu stopped writing and nodded solemnly: "Don't worry, Censor Meng, I will keep this matter in my mind and treat it with caution."

"After all, this matter is about the fate of the Qin Dynasty, and I will not disappoint my father and teacher. 35

After more than a month of experience in ruling alone, Fusu has been a little immature from the beginning, and he still needs to ask Li Si, Feng Quji, and Meng Yi in everything.

Up to now, he has been able to dominate the overall situation and handle government affairs in an orderly manner.

Needless to say, he is making great progress.

"Come on!""

"I have seen the eldest son"

"The time has come to distribute the recipes and prescriptions left by the immortals to the counties to ensure this year's harvest.

"Here!"

Now the season, the sun gradually began to emit more and more scorching brilliance.

In such an environment, the evaporation of water in the soil begins to intensify.

If God can be kind and it rains often, it is undoubtedly very lucky.

But if it doesn't go down...then the people can only watch the farmland gradually dry up, and this season's harvest will fail in the field.

Of course, this is only the situation in previous years.

This year's Daqin is different than before.

Although some counties still have very little rainfall, the land is dry.

But this time, the people's farmland is still moist and fertile.

It doesn't mean drought at all.

"Zhuzi, have you gone to pull water again? Let's sell this truck of water to our house, the fields are almost dry.

At the entrance of the village, the woman smiled and stopped the man who was driving the large wooden bull-fighting cart.

Put two Qin Banliang into the man's hands.

"Okay, Aunt Hua, hurry up and get some buckets at home to fill in water, I can run two more trips later while it's still dark"

"Okay, you wait a moment, I'll go home to get the bucket, come over immediately.

This man named Zhuzi was very famous in several nearby villages.

The main reason is that he is now in the business of selling water.

At that time, he sold his farmland for a cow, and many people were puzzled.

Land is a job for today's people.

On this basis, cattle are a tool to further improve efficiency.

The land is gone, so what's the use of cows?

Under all kinds of puzzled eyes, Zhu Zi used the remaining money to buy a wooden cart.

And a large wooden tank for water that was made by carpenters was installed on it.

As the weather became dry and rainy, the pillars drove the bullock carts to and from the reservoir built in winter and the surrounding villages.

Only then did the whole village realize, and they called Zhuzi an expert.

In the following days, the pillar repeated the same thing every day, filling the reservoir with water.

Then drive the bullock cart to deliver the water to the various villages.

He can earn two or three dollars per car.

Every morning when I get up and go home at night, Zhu Zi can drive the ox cart back and forth seven or eight times.

A day is a dozen or twenty dollars.

Some people eat crabs, so the second and third will naturally appear.

Now, in the dozen or so villages around the reservoir, there can be seven or eight men like Zhuzi doing this business.

And when they make money, the people around are also happy.

Every day, people come to deliver water, and the farmland that was about to be dry is wet again.

This drought is over.

Think this is the case, not just around this reservoir.

Basically, in every county where a drought has occurred and a reservoir has been built, there are figures like pillars driving ox carts and horses and delivering water.

It can be said that there are three factors in Daqin's ability to withstand this drought.

Build a reservoir.

The appearance of the water man.

The status of merchants is improved.

Not to mention the reservoir.

But if there is no such waterman as the pillar, the people will have to rush between the two places to fetch water to irrigate the farmland.

Although it does alleviate drought conditions.

But it's just a relief.

After all, a person carries two buckets and travels between the village and the reservoir. How much water can he draw even in a day?

And if the businessman's status is still as low as before, what young and strong man would be stupid enough to be a waterman?

Looking at the lush and lush crops in the fields today, the people are all laughing from ear to ear.

It seems that this year is another good harvest!

It's just that they overlooked a problem.

Although the drought is over.

But there is another hidden danger brewing...

Beneath the dry grass in the wild, the sun-hardened ground suddenly surging.

Afterwards, green worms the size of a half-truncated tail finger burrowed out of the soil.

If an experienced old farmer sees this green worm body (the money is good), he will be able to recognize it at a glance. This is the larva of the locust: locust hopper!

And the appearance of locust hoppers is a sign... This year's locust plague is coming!

As the first locust hopper emerges from the soil.

The locust hoppers followed closely behind.

As soon as they came out, they began to look for the thick leaves, using its chewing mouthparts to devour everything they saw.

But the good times don't last long.

..."

"Quack quack...

Accompanied by the sound of chickens and ducks, a large group of yellow and half-sized chickens and ducks were driven to the wasteland like an army by the farmers.

The farmers squatted on the ground and looked carefully.

After a while, he picked up a locust cockroach from the grass, and his face showed joy.
