Defeat natural disasters with farming

Dr. Hao withdrew his hand, "It should be knocked unconscious with a wooden stick." He touched the mother and son's heads through the square scarf, pointed to a bulging bump on their heads for a while and said, "It's here, turn around." After the two of them wake up, they may experience dizziness and nausea, so I will prescribe a prescription for clearing up Qi."

Pan Di was hugging her two younger sisters nervously at this time, and immediately nodded when she heard the words: "Then I will trouble you, please follow Dr. Hao to get the medicine."

There are not many Wu family members, so Mother Ye and the others are also here to help. Aunt Ye looked at the messy house and sighed, "Fortunately, I came in time, the thief didn't steal anything."

"It's just that he opened the mouth. There are many relatives in our village who come to join us. They don't know their temper, and they don't know if such a thing will happen."

Mother Ye was a little worried. During this period of time, there were quite a lot of people who came to seek refuge.

Mrs. Ye said: "I'm afraid we have to make a regulation earlier."

In fact, they were not the only ones who were worried about this matter, the people gathered in the ancestral hall also started talking about it.

Some villagers are worried that if there are too many people who come to seek refuge, what should they do if the fields in the village cannot support these people, let alone people who are obviously not from their village, why should they occupy their living space? Drive them all out, and no one else will be allowed to come and join them in the future.

Another part of the villagers think that those who don’t have relatives and friends can’t just watch them die. If they stay, they can help them farm and hunt. The next time the village allocates land to them, a few acres of land will be enough to support a family. Besides, people with the same surname are not married, there are more boys in the village and fewer girls, and people with different surnames stay, so it will be much smoother for boys and girls to marry in the village.

Around this issue, the two parties quarreled furiously, and almost got angry.

Seeing this, Father Ye quickly interrupted their quarrel, "Okay, stop arguing for now, let's discuss a regulation first, and if someone comes to join us in the future, we will act according to the regulation."

It is said to be a discussion, but in fact it is mainly Father Ye and Ye Tongsheng who are in charge. Both of them have studied for several years, and they are very organized. One, two, three, four quickly list a sheet of requirements.

Then Wang Shu read it to the villagers.

One is that anyone who comes to defect to Yejia Village needs to have a guarantor in the village, that is to say, if the defector makes a mistake, the guarantor will continue to sit, so that the villagers will be a little more cautious when dealing with relatives and friends who have defected. Everyone will not agree like it is now.

The second is that defectors have to go through a one-month assessment period in Yejia Village. After one month, all the adults in the village will vote. As long as the number of votes agreed by more than half of the total number of people, they can stay in the village.

Third, if defectors make mistakes, they will receive different punishments according to the severity of the mistakes. The specific punishments will be determined soon after the discussion of the whole village.

The fourth is to determine the method of allocating unowned land, which is liquidated once a year. Defectors like Master Wu and Master Yue who teach the village soldiers have made great contributions. It only takes one year to distribute the land in the village. Settling down, and other people fear that it will take two or three years.

These four items were written on paper, and several copies were copied by Ye Yu and others and placed in the ancestral hall. Anyone who wanted to read it could go and read it by himself.

At this point, those who defected to the village have more hope, thinking that as long as they are diligent and steadfast, they will be able to officially settle down in Yejia Village when they get a piece of land in a few years.

The whole village put their hearts together and exerted their strength in one place, which made the Ye family village united visible to the naked eye.

"Pandi, we have stewed chicken soup at home. You can make a bowl for your mother and younger brother later." Mrs. Ye came out of the kitchen and said to Pandi, "Doctor Hao's prescription is very good. I gave it to you last time." Looking at stones in the past, he can already recognize people."

The mother and son of the Wu family, Wang's injuries were milder, and he woke up after only fainting for an hour, and then he drank two doses of medicine and almost recovered, but Wu Shitou was hit hard, and it took two whole days to wake up. After that, I didn't even know anyone, and everyone looked confused.

Dr. Hao came to check the pulse again, and said that he had injured his head and might have lost his memory. He was not sure whether Wu Shitou would be able to recall it in the future.

Pandi shook her head when she heard the words, and said, "Save the chicken soup for my siblings. My mother just picked up two eggs and made tofu soup. It's a waste to bring the chicken soup."

"Okay, let's talk about it next time." Mrs. Ye replied.

Then he raised his voice and called the children out to eat.

Ye Yu put down the pen after hearing the shout. He was listing the paper-making steps on the paper just now. There is no place to buy paper now. There will always be a day when you run out, so it is better to find a way to make paper yourself, and make as much as you want, without any trouble.

When the weather gets hotter, the first thing he wants to do is to look for raw materials, such as various bark, bamboo, straw, etc., which contain cellulose, which is the best choice, especially there is a large bamboo forest near their village. Bamboo is naturally not lacking.

He thought, since he had the raw materials, and followed the steps in the book one by one, he should be able to make paper successfully. After all, the people think that papermaking is difficult, just because the imperial court firmly controls the papermaking technology. It's a paper flood that can happen very quickly.

At noon today, their family ate dumplings stuffed with leeks and eggs, served with a pot of chicken soup, and a few cloves of garlic were placed on the table to relieve the greasy.

Ye Yu has always liked dumplings stuffed with leeks and eggs, especially the leeks are freshly picked, and the juice bursts in his mouth as soon as he bites down, and the rich flavor of leeks and slightly salty eggs are mixed together, exuding flavor against the backdrop of vinegar. A salty taste.

One bowl of dumplings per person, one bowl of chicken soup, after eating and drinking, the whole body warms up.

After dinner, Ye Yu wanted to go back to the house and continue writing about the steps of papermaking, but suddenly heard someone knocking on the door. It was Ye He who opened the door. Standing outside the door was Ye Zhouyuan, who was guarding the gate at the entrance of the village today.

He hastily walked up to Father Ye and said, "The deep pit outside the village that collapsed because the earth dragon turned over suddenly burst out with water, and it is now half full."

Father Ye was slightly taken aback, and hurriedly said, "Go, go and have a look."

Ye Yu was also taken aback when he heard what he said, and hurriedly put on his coat and trotted out with them. Seeing this, Ye He also followed them. When he finally arrived at the entrance of the village, Father Ye discovered that there was a walk behind him. people.

Sure enough, the wide deep pit was already half filled with water, covered with a thick layer of ice, and it is unknown when it began to appear.

Ye Zhong said: "Could it be that the bottom is connected with Liuhe?"

Hearing this, Father Ye turned his head to look at the well-informed Master Wu and the others, and asked, "Have the two masters seen such a situation?"

Master Wu stroked his beard and looked puzzled, "I've never heard of it."

On the contrary, Master Yue pondered for a while, and replied: "I have seen a similar situation from the records left by my father, about twenty years ago, there was a time when Dilong turned over and created a lake out of thin air on a flat ground. .”

"That means this deep pit will become a lake in the future?" Ye Zhong asked in disbelief.

Master Yue replied, "This possibility is not ruled out."

Everyone looked at the deep pit in surprise. There was only Shui Paozi on their side, but they rarely saw any serious lakes. The only lake that was close to them would take a whole day to walk.

At this moment, Ye He pointed to the ice layer and said, "Will there be fish in it?"

Father Ye thought for a while, "It should be. If the waterway is connected to the Liu River, the fish in the Liu River will swim in."

Father Ye's words flashed through Ye Yu's mind like a flash of lightning, and his eyes lit up. If this deep pit can really be turned into a lake, then various plants can be transplanted beside the lake, such as pastures and trees.

And pasture can be used to feed livestock. When there are more livestock in the village in the future, you don’t have to worry about feeding them. For example, sheep, cows, ducks, pigs, and chickens can let them live by themselves through grazing. To fill their stomachs on the grassy beach, they only need to fence around the outside.

Arbors can be planted with maple, poplar, etc., which are suitable for making furniture.

Many aquatic plants can also be transplanted in the lake, such as lotus is very good. In the hot summer, "the lotus leaves are infinitely green in the sky, and the lotus flowers are uniquely red in the sun".In autumn, the lotus flowers wither and the beautiful scenery is gone, but there are still crispy and delicious lotus roots to eat.

Thinking of this, Ye Yu couldn't help swallowing. There are many ways to make lotus root, no matter how it is made, it is delicious, and lotus seeds are very sweet when eaten alone.

In addition, if there are small fish and shrimps swimming into the lake from the Liu River, aquatic products can be raised, which is another income for the village.

Ye Yu feels that the above vision is quite easy to realize.

At least there is no need to worry about pastures and trees. They have them on the slopes near the village. You only need to transplant the grass and bark to the lake. The lotus is a little more troublesome. In autumn, the village can send a team to leave. By the nearest lake, bring back the lotus seeds and scatter them in the lake, and lotus flowers will grow in the next year.

The last point is also the most important point. To breed fish, shrimp, river crabs, you have to use bamboo foil to block the fish. The method of bamboo foil is also quite simple. Moso bamboo is split into foil threads, and then connected in series with ropes to form bamboo foil curtains. Then put it on the stand.

When Ye Yu left with the others, he looked back at the deep pit reluctantly. He wished he could transition to spring now. Once spring came, he would have many things to do.

However, what he didn't expect was that his prayers were not fulfilled at all. From September this year to June next year, the outside temperature did not rise for nine months, sometimes for three consecutive months. It was snowing, mixed with hail from time to time, which made everyone in the village not used to it.
