Chapter 391 The Law of Farming
The village chief clearly had a yellow and thin face, and it was obvious that he had endured hunger for a long time. However, those soap members were indifferent to his prayers.
People in other villages also came to ask for food. Those people were not dressed in gorgeous clothes, but were at least neat and clean, with a rosy complexion. They were not people who had endured hunger for a long time. Those people were just stuffing some money for Zaoli, and those who were jealous of money immediately changed their faces.
If you don’t speak up with a flattering attitude, you will be more than twice as efficient in your work.
Xiaopo Village is just a small and broken village with few people and little land. On weekdays, it relies on the grain in the crops and has no other money to make a living. After a long period of famine, all the few silver money in the village is used to buy food to help the whole village overcome difficulties.
Even if he had some money, the village chief of Xiaopo Village would not have come to the county government to beg for help several times. How could he have any extra money for these soap servants?
A few times later, the village chief was also desperate. He has been staying at home alone and waiting for the arrival of the last dark future.
Gensheng looked at his expression when he came back from the village chief and guessed that the county government would no longer send food to help them.
It just so happened that the village chief felt ashamed of seeing the villagers these days and stayed away. Gensheng asked the last few young and strong people in the village to discuss intercepting individuals on the official road, not harming people's lives, and then robbing some food and money and running away.
After all, the robbery is not a glorious thing. Gensheng also called these people privately and secretly brought out the "weapons" with them. Apart from these people, only Gensheng's wife knew about their crazy plan.
Unexpectedly, Gensheng robbed him and robbed him to Dongfang Ming.
Fortunately, Gensheng met Dongfang Ming. Dongfang Ming always had more sympathy for ordinary people, especially those who suffered. If anyone else was merciless, he might have arrested these simple peasants who were cruel on the outside and were weak on the outside and sent to the government.
Only Dongfang Ming, after understanding their strength and identity, was still willing to take the initiative to ask for help.
Dongfang Ming quietly listened to the village chief telling the whole story, and Gensheng was on the side and added details vividly from time to time.
Before knowing this, Dongfang Ming was always extremely intelligent and benevolent in his eyes because of the historical filter. However, the incident in Xiaopo Village made Dongfang Ming suddenly realize that he was still too naive.
No one is born with outstanding abilities and great luck. Born at the end of life, you only need to sow your kindness. More people must use any means to achieve their goals. The so-called benevolent love for the people is just a means to consolidate their rule.
Even Li Erlang can turn a blind eye to the suffering people under his command in order to satisfy his ambitions.
If Dongfang Ming always had a slight affection and kindness towards Li Erlang, and never took the initiative to attack Dongfang Ming, it was precisely because of this filter. Now his filter for Li Erlang has been completely broken, and it turns out that Li Erlang is no different from the warlord heroes he met before.
Dongfang Ming looked at the village chief who was talking in front of him and began to swallow more, knowing that it was not the time to want to have a grudge with Li Erlang.
The reason for the famine in Xiaopo Village is spring drought. This is determined by the geographical location and climate of Xiaopo Village. Xiaopo Village is located in the Central China Plain. The climate here determines that there will not be too much rain in winter and spring, which is very likely to cause drought.
Climate geography, floods, droughts, these are natural phenomena that human resources cannot change. Even if Dongfang Ming has a cheating device like the system, he cannot reverse the laws of nature.
It cannot change nature, but it can change people and things.
To solve the current problems in Xiaopo Village, Dongfang Ming temporarily came up with two solutions.
First, give them food to solve the problem of urgent food shortage in Xiaopo Village. This is just a trivial matter for Dongfang Ming. After the system has been upgraded many times, Dongfang Ming can exchange 500 kilograms of grain for only five Tang points. Just exchange 10 Tang points for more than one thousand kilograms of grain for him can help Xiaopo Village survive the spring drought and usher in a rainy and humid summer.
But this method cannot solve the fundamental problem. Dongfang Ming cannot stay here forever. He still has his own business to deal with and will leave Xiaopo Village sooner or later.
And Xiaopo Village will have a spring drought, perhaps the next year of famine. How will Dongfang Ming and others survive it?
Furthermore, even if Dongfang Ming comes here again next year, it is not a good idea to use Tangdo points to exchange food. Tangdo points are crucial to him and an indispensable currency. Every Tangdo point must be spent on the edge of the knife. It is impossible for him to always have the spare energy to help others.
As the saying goes, it is better to teach people how to fish than to teach people how to fish.
So Dongfang Ming thought of a second method: to improve the planting conditions of Xiaopo Village’s farmland so that Xiaopo Village can plant crops normally even in spring drought and summer flooding.
In this way, even after Dongfangming left, Xiaopo Village could be planted normally in spring and summer flooding, so that it would not have no food to go hungry.
Dongfang Ming plans to combine these two methods. First, replace part of the grain to solve the urgent needs of Xiaopo Village, and then help them improve agricultural conditions based on the actual situation of Xiaopo Village.
Thinking of this, Dongfang Ming asked Gensheng: "Is there any empty room in the village that allows the three of us to stay?"
Dongfang Ming needed a place to place the five hundred kilograms of grain that he had replaced. He could not have turned it into food for them out of thin air now, right? The villagers of Xiaopo Village may not only not thank him, but also regard him as a monster.
It's getting late now, so it's not convenient to ask to look at the agricultural conditions in Xiaopo Village. It's better to find a place to arrange food and accommodation and wait until tomorrow during the day.
When Gensheng heard this, he hurriedly said, "My family happens to have three houses. You benefactor, please live in my house! Tonight, my wife and I will go to Wang Er's house next door to make do with one night!"
Before Dongfang Ming could refuse, Gensheng asked his wife to clean up the room and bed. Seeing this, Dongfang Ming had to swallow the words in his mouth and accept such an arrangement.
Gensheng's house is very simple, and the bed is also a mud-built earthen kang. If you sleep in winter, you will ignite the fire below and simmer the entire kang. It is no longer the time to burn the kang, but it is a little colder as soon as the night comes.
Gensheng's wife spread things as thick as possible on the bed, and it was still a little cold when she slept on it at night.
However, Dongfang Ming is not the kind of picky person. He will accept the conditions of his life. If he is in a family, he will be better than the three of them sleeping in the wild before. The three of them slept all night.
The next day, Dongfang Ming got up early. While Gensheng and his wife were still next door and had not come back, they exchanged five hundred kilograms of high-quality rice and flour in the system with Wutang dots.
Gensheng and his wife came back from Wang Er's house next door. When they opened the door, they saw that they were piled with local rice and flour on the ground.
Dongfang Ming sat on the chair and said calmly: "Gensheng, please send this grain to the villagers."
At that moment, Dongfang Ming's indifferent attitude in Gensheng's heart was like a god who truly saved the suffering.
