It is not that the land is not wide enough, but that the annual precipitation is just that, and it is quite seasonal. The amount of water that can be stored before planting basically determines how much food can be produced that year.

After sowing, there is almost no precipitation, and all rely on manual irrigation to harvest.

"Did the son find a new source of water this time? I didn't mention it to me when I came back."

In fact, he was wondering why He Da always laughed alone when he came back. Obviously he misunderstood something.

"Well, it is. You hurry to organize the manpower. One hundred people dispatch to the three of you. It is best to divide them into three large groups to complete. Each of the three of you will receive a group. I will reward each team for the completed group. A catty of food."

Ye Chen has his own plan, of course, he will not easily disclose it to him, otherwise he will go to his old house to complain if he is not supported by the other party.

"Hum! I will do it now, and I will guarantee the completion of the task in three days."

Men are happy, Ye Chen’s ability to find new sources of water means he can grow more food, more food means he can feed more people, his strength is stronger, and his life will be stronger. Better than that, it is good for everyone.

What Ye Chen wants is his energy.

Ye Chen sank his face when he walked out quickly.

He found other water sources, but there are deep well ice ready to use.

And this was discovered when his body took over for the first time, just below the natural reservoir surrounded by Zhuangzi.

There is a natural depression in the middle of Zhuangzi, with a slight slope from the surrounding land. The reservoir has been artificially expanded. Until now, the main work after the annual autumn harvest is to dredging and strengthening. This time is the water level of the reservoir At the lowest time, it is close to dryness.

When he came here for the first year, he was not used to drinking the boiled water in the pool. The intimate nanny said that he would give it a deep water well beside the pool, just like the old house.

But when I hit this well, there was an accident. I didn’t find half a drop of groundwater below three feet. When I reached five feet deep, I finally encountered the permafrost layer. It’s full of extremely cold ice, which is frozen inside. Unknown creature.

These guys dared to ask for this well, climbed up quickly, and filled this well with gravel, no one would take the initiative to mention it in the future.

This made Ye Chen care about it.

What is ice?The solid form of water.

His predecessor, Yin Yin, had no way to take him, and he was very afraid of the creatures frozen inside, but he was not afraid.

He just wants to drive everyone out to work, and then go underground to fetch ice, and by the way, can he encounter a few unlucky creatures to make him beat his teeth.

"Son, did you really find a new source of water? Are we going to break up?"

This girl is the youngest and most temperament of the few, usually the most favored by his master, as to what kind of favor is known only by his predecessor.

She asked Ye Chen by sending hot water to Ye Chen. Why didn't she want him to develop, so that they would rise in height.

"Well. Why are you still here? All the people in Zhuangzi are busy developing the wasteland, and you hurried over to fight for the mother, don't rely on Zhuang."

Ye Chen is chasing people, and now it's time to hire people. He wants to fight in person. How can he tolerate someone being lazy, especially those who might hinder him.

"Yes!"

The girl was quite conscious. Although she was upset, she answered quite quickly, without showing any emotion.

It's totally different just a few girls together.

"How can the son tell us to take care of the grandmother? You will not lie about military affairs?"

One of the self-confessed clever ones first questioned.

"You can't go if you don't believe it. I'm going anyway."

"Humph! As long as you go together, I will definitely go too. I'm afraid you will eat solitary food at home alone."

The little girls are used to fighting for jealousy, so they are afraid of suffering from unevenness.

Ye Chen just found out what happened here. He didn’t dare to make too much here. The old friend didn’t know if he would monitor them all the way. If he found that he didn’t completely lose himself, he might Focus on him.

Therefore, he did not fully open his consciousness. He only carefully released it when necessary, to check the surrounding conditions. For example, now he must make sure that all the people in Zhuangzi have gone out to work before taking action.

The pile of rubble in front of me was left after the well was dug. Since it was impossible to stay away from it, the people in Zhuangzi directly regarded it as a garbage dump. Of course, there is no other garbage in this place. The most difficult to deal with is the construction. Construction waste generated from houses and repaired houses, especially broken gray tiles, is the most difficult to handle.

Ye Chen shook his body, turned into a streamer and drilled directly into the ground, under the rubble, there were still some holes in the wellhead blocked by gravel, which made him very satisfied.

It didn't take a moment for Ye Chen to delve into a bowl of black ice and explored it carefully.

The ice is correct, but it is mixed with many unusual impurities, such as resentment, such as lethal dust, such as solidified gray gas.

That's right, he saw the gray gas that caused a big change in the half fairy world here.

"Hey, it turns out that his normal film exists in this place."

He clearly felt that these were dead, or that they were not activated, and would not cause any harm to him.

This is right, he can rest assured.

At the next moment, the cents fluctuated, massive ice cubes were melted, and the water was led to the upper cistern. He was detained by the grievances that tried to pounce on him to occupy his body, but the gray gas was swept by his big sleeves. After the dust disappeared, let the dust stay underground.

He did not dare to take more, it was enough to just fill the reservoir.

As for how to explain, does his master really need to explain to the people?

Obviously, there is no need for it, and it is enough to get out the messenger.

Next, there was a small sea dragon temple in Zhuangzi, enshrining a clay sculpture whose head resembled a token.

Everyone in Zhuangzi said it was a sea dragon, a dragon that gave them rain.

Of course, these are the ghosts made by the young son Yin Chen, and he turned into a temple wish of the sea dragon. Since then, there has been no shortage of rain.

With sufficient rainwater irrigation, the original oats are growing happily, and the newly planted wheat seedlings are also excellent. According to the estimate of the milkmaid, the original wheat field can increase production by at least 30%, and the newly planted crops can be at least as old as the old seedlings.

This means that after three months, his Zhuangzi can have a net income of at least 23,000 kg.

In the past, if 10,000 catties could feed 100 people, this year he could feed about 230 people.

He can set out to choose the young and strong among the refugees and beggars in the county.

Three months passed, Ye Chen was ready to drive his carriage to pick people, so that he could invest in the next grain harvest.

"Son, the weather in the old house is the same as in previous years."

He Da hurriedly drove the carriage past the old house with emotion.

"Second brother, there are no outsiders here, why are you still so out of sight."

The Cha Xing family on one side took the conversation without waiting for Ye Chen to answer.

"Do you think the weather in the old house is better, or the weather in Zhuangzi is better?"

Ye Chen didn’t want to get involved with this big brother. In fact, this guy didn’t call him a few times after he bowed, no matter if he was or wasn’t, he continued to be the same. .

But he obviously felt that the two were more interested in Zhuangli's affairs, and the conflict between them was less and less, which shows that he and they still have an effect

From a distance, the old house is a gray tiled black walled building surrounded by a small lake. The reason for the black wall is that the houses here are all made of black hard stones, which is better than that of his Zhuangzi. The adobe needs time and energy, but it is much more durable.

He suspected that it was originally a small crater or crater. The water level of the small lake was higher than most of the land outside the house, and the spring water was mainly supplying the lake water. This is the most advantageous here.

"What's so good about the old house is that the old people are stubbornly holding it, and there is our Zhuangzi energetic."

Cha Xing's family understands the thoughts of the young yin son that Ye Chen has transformed into more than He Da. He Da is still holding a short whip and frowning for contemplation, he has already answered it first.

"Just slip your head."

Ye Chen laughed and scolded. He would definitely listen to such words.

"The eldest son's group is still very powerful. I compared the area of ​​the acres outside the old house, but it has expanded a lot compared to the early years."

Heda is more pragmatic, and its focus is also very practical.

"Well, that's the case. It's about half the planting area of ​​Zhuangzi is stronger."

Ye Chen's impression of Yinyongzi changed from fuzzy to clear, and it also clearly showed the appearance of a sly young man, that is his nominal elder brother.

Many unpleasant things came out of his mind like a blowout. For example, when he was five or six years old, he was pressed underground as a pony ride. For example, when he was ten years old, he forced the girl in the phase to be forced. For example, some of the black like the old man who sue him from the old man, in short, he always suffered a loss.

"Brother, he has his advantages and his disadvantages. He is a mature land on this side. Although the output is higher than ours, the water source mainly depends on spring water and it is easier to irrigate. These are more convenient than ours. But he also needs to feed those. Old guys. I have calculated for him that at most, two hundred young and strong can be raised. We will be able to enrich this to two hundred this time."

The Cha Xing family talked.

"We are more than two hundred, not all young and strong, and we are all forced by hunger and cold, not necessarily by each other."

He Da’s confidence is clearly insufficient.

"Let others grow their ambitions and extinguish their own prestige. The most important thing is to see who controls well. I believe our brother is more than a hundred times stronger than that guy."

After arguing and arguing along the way, Ye Chen rarely expressed his position as if he had fallen asleep in the car.

He feels the spirit of fairy spirits in the vast area. Unfortunately, he hasn't found a trace of it yet. This makes him very annoyed. There is no supplement. It is not a good condition to use a little less.

The county town has finally arrived. It is very disappointed. The walls are still intact. The materials are neat black strips. It is much better than the old house of the Yin family, and it is much larger.

The whole city was shrouded in gray mist. Occasionally, several towering trees could be seen, and Ye Chen was inexplicably impulsive to go to those points.

He instructed not to enter the city deliberately, only to ramble around the city and ragged beggars and beggars by the gate. He sensed the crisis and the deep malice to his stranger. Now it is obviously not his best to enter the city. Good choice.

With the birth of the Chaxing family, a sufficient number of refugees and beggars were soon recruited.

Just as they were preparing to return from the same path, the mutation suddenly emerged.

"It's you who gather together to make troubles? If you don't obey, you'll catch it!"

The coming man is a man who is completely covered by gray gas. He can only see the outline. The dwarf horses straddling are all formed by gray gas, and behind them are a pair of twelve gunmen.

Ye Chen instantly understood who was coming, the county guard.

"City Guardian misunderstood. I am a young man of the Yin family ten miles outside the city. This time I came to collect some homeless refugees and beggars. There is absolutely no idea of ​​gathering people to make trouble."

He jumped out of the car for the first time, and he explained to the other party, trying to resolve it.

"Yin family in ten miles outside the city? When did a young boy who came out dare to deceive me. Come here, and take the lead three for me."

Ye Chen didn't explain, but this explanation directly angered the other party.

The soldiers swarmed around the dwarf and rushed towards them.

"Brothers. Those who want to fill their stomachs fight with them!"

Cha Xingjia shouted at the gathering staff who had already been organized by him.

He personally distributed a pound of cooked food to these people. These people had already stuffed themselves into their stomachs, and now some strength is available.

Ye Chen glanced at the direction of the county and let these people collide with the city guard.

With his keen instincts, he felt that not only was someone watching him firmly on the wall, but also a few cold clouds lingering through the large shades of trees.

He Da grabbed a dog stick with him and got entangled in riding a pony. Others beat the soldiers in a ten to one ratio.

Soon these people were evened out without attracting more city guards.

"go!"

Ye Chen finally spit out a word.

"Huh, this man is cunning, and he is reluctant to enter the city at all. It's like I waited for the first time to enter the city, and was trapped in it to restore some of my original memories."

"Hush, talk less, be careful."

"This man didn't know when he entered here, did we manage to get in touch?"

The voice was getting smaller, and the two of the city walls had bitten their ears behind the battlements.

At the same time, outside Zhuangzi, a group of people met with another group of people.

"Princess, this is Zhuangzi of the youngest son, the food is planted by us so hard, you can't say that helping harvesting will help harvesting."
