Chapter 218 The Temperature Rises
Choose to apply fertilizer and water, catch insects and remove weeds according to the growth conditions, and keep everything under control.
If the plants get sick, it will be a hassle. Besides, there are more than one kind of crops planted here, and the quantity is more than one.
She was extremely happy to see the harvest, and she didn't complain about the fields, but even if she didn't complain, she was tired! How nice it would be to have someone to share the burden with.
The more Su Mu thought about it, the happier he became, and he decided to select a manager after his inspection.
"Mumu's idea is good." This will make Mumu feel a little more relaxed.
"When the time comes, I will build several courtyard houses near these fields for management personnel to live in." Su Mu pointed in a direction.
If people are chosen to manage the fields, it is necessary to build a few houses for their convenience. Sometimes some people are needed to guard near the fields to prevent damage.
"Build a few courtyards somewhere, and build a large warehouse next to the courtyard. This warehouse will be used to store grain." There are thousands of acres of fertile land. In addition to the fields for growing vegetables, the grain produced by the remaining fields is not a small amount.
Ji Shiyan listened carefully to Su Mu's plan and made some suggestions from time to time.
"Mumu, your fields are very important. Do you want to send a team here?" Mumu's fields are related to the people's livelihood.
Su Mu thought for a moment and said, "Okay." She originally wanted to send someone to guard the crops when they were ripe, but then she changed her mind and thought that her fields were so large that some people might have bad intentions and take advantage of them.
Sending someone to guard it is also a form of insurance.
After the courtyard was built, the guards also had a place to live.
"Should I send a team of people to guard this place?" Ji Shiyan asked tentatively.
"Okay, the person you found must be very capable!"
In addition to her own secret guards, she could build more houses so that they would have a place to stay. Since these secret guards followed her, she couldn't treat them badly.
The secret guards need to have living quarters, warehouses, and training areas with all kinds of facilities and self-defense weapons. Otherwise, if dangerous elements appear, these secret guards will have to fight with their bare hands.
Su Mu suddenly realized that in this way he was like building a base.
“Can I build it like this?”
Su Mu suddenly realized something was wrong. Would her actions be a bit like raising private soldiers? With food, land, personnel, and weapons, isn't that enough for soldiers and horses? !
"Sure." Others might not be able to do this, but here in Sumu there are no restrictions at all.
It’s not that they look down on Mumu or anything like that. Mumu’s energy is well known to be very strong, but they trust her, and Mumu is not that kind of person.
"Then I can plan with peace of mind!" Su Mu smiled like a cat stealing fish.
She is building her own little base! I must plan it carefully when I get back and put this matter on the agenda.
Su Mu was worriedly thinking that there seemed to be too much going on recently!
But all these did not make her forget the purpose of her appearance in the fields. She came to check the water source near the fields.
Su Mu walked across the fields towards a water source she knew, and Ji Shiyan followed behind her.
The water source is a small river. The water in the river is diverted from the river beside the village. This small river is also the most commonly used water source for the fields nearby.
At this time, there was a man by the river, scooping water with a bucket, then hanging the bucket on both sides of a shoulder pole, and carrying the water back to water the fields.
"Uncle, please water the plants." Su Mu went up to say hello.
"Yeah, isn't it? The weather is getting hot. If we don't water the seedlings in the fields, they will be sun-dried to death." The old man raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his face and fanned himself with his hat.
"One or two trips back and forth is fine, but it takes more than two trips to water the ground thoroughly. It's tiring." The old man sighed and pounded his waist. "I won't talk to you anymore. I'll take advantage of this time to make a few more trips back and forth."
After saying this, the old man picked up his shoulder pole and walked towards the fields in the distance. The heavy buckets were swaying on both sides. The old man held one in each hand to keep the shoulder pole steady on his shoulders and prevent the water in the buckets from flowing out.
"It's not easy for farmers to farm." They depend entirely on the weather for their livelihood. If God doesn't give them face, the whole family will have difficulty even getting food.
"What method do most people in Ji Shiyan use to irrigate their farmland?" Su Mu turned around and looked at Ji Shiyan, who was still looking at the old man.
"In fact, there is no better way. It's nothing more than digging ditches to divert water, building dams, and digging wells. Most farmers are like that old man and can only carry water to irrigate the farmland." Or they just wait for God to rain.
Drought is a natural disaster that has a huge impact on agriculture and is even more detrimental to national stability. During droughts, people are constrained by cultural shackles and will pray to God for rain. As a result, various religions will emerge to deceive the common people.
Every time that time comes, all kinds of strange rumors will be born, linking drought with Kuiba zombies, as well as "hitting drought bone piles" and "burning drought demons".
Some people will use the drought as an excuse to do evil things. Hundreds or even thousands of people will go around digging up graves, burning corpses, extorting money, and digging up the graves of anyone they suspect, all in the name of "fighting drought," searching for the long-haired corpses in their hearts.
Fortunately, the current weather has not reached the level of drought, and people’s lives have not been greatly affected.
"It will be a disaster if there is a drought." Ji Shiyan faced the water in the river in front of him.
We still need to consider the possibility of an emergency. Now that the temperature is rising, no one can guess what will happen in the future, so we need to start planning for prevention early.
"Yes." After hearing these things, Su Mu realized that most people were still carrying buckets of water for irrigation.
Her efforts to come up with a simple irrigation method may not only benefit herself, but also other people, thus benefiting both herself and the public, killing two birds with one stone.
"Let's look for water sources elsewhere."
"Mumu, what's this?" Mumu's behavior seemed to have the same idea as him.
"I want to find a way to irrigate it easily."
It would be a great convenience if water could be brought to the vicinity of farmland, or directly to the fields by some means.
"We two are really in sync. I was just thinking that it would be best to prepare for drought." Ji Shiyan smiled brilliantly.
"Then we really have a tacit understanding."
"Will there really be a drought?" Su Mu was a little nervous when he heard the news. Drought would be a big problem in modern times, not to mention that this is ancient times.
"I'm not sure, but the temperature is rising, so we should still take precautions. Even if there is no drought, it won't be a problem." At most, we will be busy for a while. If we don't take precautions and a drought really comes, the losses will be immeasurable.
