Improper cannon fodder for fast wear

Chapter 2042 The Innocent Woman 4
The old couple has eaten well recently, and their bodies have also grown up. They are just feeling bored. After all, after they are healthy, the field can no longer be planted, and the child is not a baby. Just look at it, and there is no need to take it special. Although these days are free, they are just too boring. Now that An Ran has found something for them to do, she is naturally willing to do so, so when she heard what An Ran said, she hurriedly promised: "We will definitely help you find a good one, and it will be very fast. can be found."

An Ran smiled and said, "Okay, then thank you, Mom and Dad."

Sure enough, An Ran found the right person, and the old couple joined forces, and with the news that food was distributed, soon many people in Pingyuan Town were willing to join in and build the wall.

Although many people in Pingyuan Town are not at home now, a group of people rioted, and a group of people fled from famine, only a small part did not leave.

The small number of those who did not leave were either the family members of those who rioted, or the old, weak, sick and disabled, who basically had no way to help. The object that An Ran tried to recruit.

The more difficult it is to leave the homeland, the more I don’t want to have accidents in my hometown, so when I hear about building the fence, I will be more active.

It's just that there are too few of these people.

In this era, the population is small, and a town has only a few thousand people. Pingyuan is a large town, with about 6000 to [-] people.

And among the people who are hard to leave their homeland, there are no more than two or three hundred young and strong people, and these basically come here, and some family members of the rebellious families are also gathered together. After all, the so-called family members do not mean that all the adult men in the family go together It’s over, there are those who didn’t go, and the surrounding towns, I heard that if you want to work here, you will be given food, and there are about 500 people.

This is enough, with 500 people working together, the bastion surrounding the entire town will soon be built.

And the first batch of bricks that An Ran found had a way out—there was a kiln built before the severe drought, and a lot of bricks were burned at that time, but after the severe drought, people couldn’t get enough to eat, so who would build houses? It was left there, and An Ran exchanged some food for it.

For this alone, 500 people are naturally not enough to build the wall together, so An Ran has already contacted several small kilns nearby and asked them to help continue the burning.

Burning bricks requires a lot of water. Fortunately, those people are willing to take on this job for food - they are going to carry water from wells with water to burn.

With bricks and people, the construction of this bastion will be smooth, but now there is a shortage of manpower, so An Ran has to personally tell everyone how to build it.

However, An Ran has started to use food from the whole town to recruit people who can read and teach children who are willing to read. No matter when, education must be obtained quickly, otherwise there will be no talents available.

Because lunch is provided, every family is willing to send their children to school, including girls. Anyway, it is a severe drought and there is not much housework to do at home. Why not let them come over for a meal.

Although in this era of no food, it is easy to do things with food, but I can't keep subsidizing food. After all, as time goes by, her power is getting bigger and bigger. She can't afford to subsidize it by herself alone. Relying on self-subsidy is also easy for people to develop dependence, thinking that they can have food without farming, which is not good, so the key is to get food by themselves.

But now, the local area is dry, and it’s impossible to grow food wherever it comes from. Let alone the rain here, even the river has dried up. Everyone can only find some water to eat from deep wells. That very dry world quest is about the same.

There is no drought in the south, and there is food, but now the outside is in a mess, and the food in the south can't get through, so how to get food, An Ran really has to think about it.

Fortunately, she has practiced martial arts, and everyone is quite afraid of that old fairy who can bring out food. In addition, they are also a little afraid of her original husband, so people from all over the world, even if they know that she has food, no one Dare to do anything to her, only relying on her to find someone to do things with the food in her hand, no one would dare to rob her.

As for the food, if she has a large number of people on hand, she can "borrow" some food from a nearby bandit den with a bad reputation. The team hasn't been built yet - this will be built sooner or later, but now all the young and strong around here are building bastions, and no one is building a patrol team, so they can only look at the ocean and sigh.

Alas, there are still fewer people and not enough, otherwise many things would have been laid out long ago.

Thinking about it alone, I still don't have a clue, so An Ran couldn't help talking about it with Mrs. Li and Old Man Li.

So An Ran immediately said: "The old god said, he taught me how to do things, he will leave, and there will be no food at that time, so how can I support these people and defend our hometown? Parents, do you know what's coming?" Where or how is the food?"

Naturally, she couldn't say that she couldn't provide food all the time, and she only talked about the old man with white beard.

Mrs. Li couldn't help but smile wryly when she heard An Ran's question about the food, "Silly boy, if there is a place for food, Xiu'er will go out and rebel?"

An Ran thought about it too, and couldn't help but smile wryly.

Old man Li said: "You don't have to worry. When the gods leave, it may rain in the sky. When the time comes, you will have food when you plant the land."

An Ran secretly thought, it will be three years later.

Why did the husband of the original body lose the army? It was because he couldn’t beat the imperial court. The weather returned to normal after three years, and he could farm and eat. In addition, the war was unfavorable. People were afraid that they would die if they failed. , On the contrary, if you don’t starve to death when you go back, pay a little more miscellaneous taxes, at least you won’t die. In this case, the situation is good for the court, but not good for the rebels, so many people go back to farming instead of fighting up.

So An Ran immediately asked: "Is it convenient to dig a deep well? Is it useful for me to hire someone to dig a deep well?"

I just don’t know where the groundwater is abundant in the vicinity. Anyway, the village where the original body is located must not be rich in groundwater, because the only few wells are not producing water. I heard that after the drought, they were dug deep down, and there was no water. There is no rich groundwater system down here, which has dried up early after a prolonged drought.

That's right, if it was so useful, people wouldn't be unable to survive, and many deep wells would have been dug long ago.

"Digging deep wells is inconvenient and expensive, but if you want food, you can probably get it, but our village may have no water, and you dig it for nothing. If you really want to dig it, you may have to go to the town to do it. Now that well Near the well that can emit water, I don’t know if the well can be opened again.” Old man Li said.

After hearing this, An Ran couldn't help being disappointed. If there were not many wells to be drilled in the village, what would be the use of only a few wells?

To reach the level of farming, at least one family must have a well that can emit water, but I also know that this is unrealistic.

This road is impassable, and An Ran has no way to get food for a while, so he can only think about it.
