The cannon fodder through the book will live to the end

From the warm spring of March to the beginning of hot mid-May, it seems to be just a blink of an eye.

Tao Anran went out to look at potatoes in the field as usual.The last time he went to see the potatoes, they were all growing well and already blooming.However, he asked someone to remove the flower buds in time. After all, potatoes do not rely on pollination to bear fruit.Flowering will only waste the nutrients of the land.

He went to have a look again today. If there is no accident, it won't be long before the potatoes can be harvested.

Arriving at Zhuangzi, Tao Anran looked at the potatoes and cotton as usual.As he expected, the potatoes will be harvested in about ten days.The cotton in the nearby field is still early, and each branch only grows leaves.Only when he looked closely did he see that some of the branches were covered with small flower buds.It seems that it will take a long time to see the cotton wool.

Tao Anran was ready to go back after seeing the two crops that he had been thinking about.It gets hot when you stand outside for a while.

As he walked back, he looked at Liuzi Zhao who was following him, and said, "Guan Zhao, you have taken good care of these potatoes, and they will be harvested in at most ten days. You should pay attention, Can't go wrong at the end of this."

Zhao Liuzi quickly replied: "Yes, Wangfei, I understand."

Tao Anran noticed that Zhao Liuzi's drive was different from before, and his face seemed a bit sad.He asked curiously: "Guan Zhao, what's the matter with you? I see that you look bad. Did you encounter any difficulties? If there is something really difficult, you might as well speak up and see if I can help you."

Zhao Liuzi originally lowered his head, but when he saw the princess asking, he quickly replied with emotion: "Thank you, princess, for your concern. But it's not a small one who has encountered difficulties, it's God's business."

When Tao Anran heard this, she was puzzled and couldn't help repeating: "God?"

Zhao Liuzi quickly explained: "Princess, have you noticed that there is very little rain this spring. Now that the weather is getting hotter, there has been no rain for more than a month, and the water in the streams has decreased. I am afraid there will be a severe drought this year."

"Severe drought!" Tao Anran immediately became serious. After thinking about it carefully, it seemed that he did not see much rain this year.It is said that spring rain is as expensive as oil. Without rain, crops will inevitably be affected.

He asked again carefully: "Guan Zhao, are you sure that it won't rain again after this? Will there be a severe drought?"

Zhao Liuzi replied: "Well, I can't be sure about it." Before Tao Anran could heave a sigh of relief, he said, "But according to the experience of the older generation, the probability of severe drought this year is about nine to ten." The crops will be gone by then."

Tao Anran immediately became nervous, and quickly asked: "Then what can K do to solve it? While there is still water, is there any way to store water?"

Zhao Liuzi shook his head and said, "Even if the water can be stored, it will still dry up in the end. I can only blame God for not raining. Now I just hope that the little one is wrong, or the drought is not serious. Otherwise, I don't know how many people will die. "

After hearing this, Tao Anran couldn't help becoming worried.On the way back, he paid special attention to the canals and rivers beside the road, but he didn't have experience and couldn't see anything.He had to go back and discuss it with Xiao Jingyu.

Back in the mansion, Tao Anran first asked: "Where is the prince?"

Butler Li hurriedly replied: "My lord left for the barracks early in the morning. He seems to have something to deal with. He specifically explained that you don't have to wait for him to eat. He may need to stay in the barracks for a few days to deal with things."

Tao Anran was a little disappointed upon hearing this.He also wanted to come back and discuss with Xiao Jingyu about the possible severe drought.Now that he's gone, I can only think of a way by myself.I don't know if he knows that there may be a severe drought this year?

At the same time, Xiao Jingyu was looking at the crops beside the field with a serious face.This is the farmland specially reclaimed by the soldiers. Because it is close to the barracks, it is not far from the water source.In previous years, not only did they buy food and grass outside, but the food in the farmland also covered part of it.Therefore, the farm food is the most important thing.

But at this moment, looking at the crops in the field, Xiao Jingyu's face was gloomy.The crops that are farther away from the water source are actually a little dry and cracked.Although the soldiers tended the land less meticulously than the farmers, it was not the case in previous years.

He Zheng also looked at this field, sighed and said: "General, the field farther from the water source is already like this now, and it's only the beginning of summer. See the big from the small, I'm afraid the situation will not be good this year!"

Xiao Jingyu said "hmm", and then asked, "From the perspective of the military adviser, what is the worst situation this year?"

He Zheng shook his head and said, "General, in the worst case, my subordinates dare not say anything!"

Xiao Jingyu's eyes were deep, and after pondering, he said: "Although the military master said, if it really comes to that point, I have a mental preparation."

Seeing this, He Zheng had no choice but to solemnly say: "General, I'm afraid there is a severe drought coming in the northwest. There is not much rain this spring, only some rain in the beginning of spring, and then there is no drip. If it doesn't rain, a severe drought will come.

When a severe drought comes, the streams, rivers and lakes may reduce their flow and dry up seriously.At that time, the crops in the fields will decrease or even fail.Without water, it is difficult for people and livestock to survive.At that time, the soldiers in the barracks may not be in good condition.Not to mention the enemies further north, I'm afraid they won't wait until autumn and winter to attack the border again.They are most sensitive to water sources, and if the wind direction changes, they may invade aggressively. "

Xiao Jingyu took a deep breath and closed his eyes.Although the military adviser said that this is the worst case, it may not happen.But if it really happens, I am afraid that the Northwest will be starving and dying everywhere by then.Then it's a joke for him to guard the northwest.

Xiao Jingyu opened his eyes, his eyes were cold, he asked: "In the opinion of a military advisor, what should we do now, so that we can resist for a while when the worst situation comes?"

After thinking for a moment, He Zheng said: "For the present, we have to store food quietly. Not only for these soldiers, but also for the people who will be affected by the disaster. The food is not a small amount, but it must be purchased quietly and in multiples. Otherwise, food prices may rise, and there may be chaos."

Xiao Jingyu nodded, he understood all of this.He sighed: "It seems that we can only do this first."

He Zheng also sighed: "Now, we can only do our best and obey the destiny."

The two walked down the high ground and returned to the barracks.In the center of the camp, Tian Tuhu was wrestling with Sun Fen.Tian Tuhu is tall and strong, and his strength has always been stronger than others.Usually in wrestling with others, you win more than you lose.Although Sun Fen didn't have all the strength, he was proficient in skills, and he was not bad at wrestling with others.

When there is nothing important in the barracks, the soldiers usually get together to play games and cheer.This is also a game that usually makes people relax.At this time, the two people on the stage were coming and going, which won the exclamation of the crowd, which made people's hearts jump.

In the end, Tian Tuhu took Sun Fen out with his brute force and won the game.He also won the cheers of the soldiers.

Just when he was enjoying himself, Tian Tuhu saw Xiao Jingyu in the audience, and couldn't help saying: "General, you want to play with me, Lao Tian."

When Xiao Jingyu was feeling depressed, when he heard the invitation, he immediately nodded in agreement.He jumped onto the stage, tucked the hem of his robe into his belt, put on a posture, and said, "Then I'll come and play with you."

Tian Tuhu also put on a posture, but before he started, he still said: "General, let me tell you first, if my old Tian wins this game, can you allow me one thing?"

Knowing his temper well, Xiao Jingyu raised his eyebrows and said, "What do you fancy again?"

Tian Tuhu said carelessly: "What else is there, that is, there seems to be a new good wine in the city recently. It is a bit difficult to buy. If I win this game, I hope the general can give me a few jars of good wine from Laotian to taste ."

Xiao Jingyu said lightly: "That's it? If you beat me, I'll send you some good wine to taste."

Tian Tuhu chuckled and said, "Then thank you general first."

Before he finished speaking, he immediately made a move, intending to surprise him.However, Xiao Jingyu is not a vegetarian, and has been guarding against his trick.The two immediately began to move back and forth.

Under the stage, Sun Fen rubbed his shoulders and walked to the military division.To be precise, there are Zhu Tao and Zhou Beixiang here, and everyone gathered together to look at the two on stage.

Seeing the two fighting each other, Zhu Tao suddenly asked, "Is the general in a bad mood? Why did you make such a fierce move?"

He Zheng looked at the stage and said nothing, of course he knew the reason.But there are some things that too many people know and it is easy to panic.Instead, he asked, "Why did this old Tian suddenly think of finding someone to wrestle with?"

Zhou Beixiang knew about this, and he quickly replied: "Oh, it's not because he wants to drink and make trouble. Recently, several good wines have been released in the city, and the price is also expensive. He went to buy a pot last month, and after drinking it, he will never drink again. I can't drink other wine. This time I finally got time to buy wine again, but found that the wine was sold out. He was angry now, and he had to find someone to make gestures to calm down."

Sun Fen continued from the side: "I really shouldn't have wrestled with this brute, and lost him a tael of silver for nothing."

He Zheng smiled and said: "Before you came to the stage, you thought you would win him a tael of silver. It's just that you lost this time."

Sun Fen didn't feel guilty at all, and changed the subject with a smile, "This old Tian is competing with the general, who do you think will win?"

Zhou Beixiang frowned and said, "I'm afraid the general will win."

Zhu Tao also continued, "I bet the general will win."

He Zheng said with a smile: "In normal competitions, the general and Lao Tian are split [-]-[-]. But the general didn't use his full strength at that time. Today the general is aggressive, and Lao Tian has already competed before, and his physical strength has declined. So The general will win this game."

Sun Fen rubbed his nose, and continued, "Since you all say that, then I will also bet on the general to win."

Sure enough, as soon as his words fell, Tian Tuhu was attacked by Xiao Jingyu with a move, and then he was thrown to the ground when he was unstable.

Suddenly there was applause from the surrounding mountains.

"The general is mighty!" "The general is mighty!"

After Xiao Jingyu recovered his breathing, he stretched out his hand and pulled Tian Tuhu up from the ground.Panting heavily, Tian Tuhu took out a tael of silver from his pocket and handed it to him, and said with a smile: "General, my old Tian lost, this is a tael of silver."
