See you in the world

Chapter 588

Time passed day by day, and finally Bai Xue was not seen messing up the world.

The warm winter has been going on, the sky is cloudless all day long, the cold wind is blowing, the air is so dry that it is boring, and any soil particle picked up in the field can be easily crushed into dust.

In such an abnormal season, everyone feels that something is wrong, and it is self-evident what it portends.

Especially for the farmers who planed food in the fields, such an abnormal season made them feel terrified. Even in a remote place like Xiaoxi Village, where the villagers have not yet been burdened with paying taxes, they are still in panic.

An invisible haze hung over the entire village, and the atmosphere was so oppressive that it was almost breathless.

After all, he was a low-level farmer with little knowledge. The villagers were confused. Knowing that Yunjing was at home, they ran to ask him if something serious would happen. They dared not mention the word severe drought. The word is a little desperate.

Regarding the villagers' inquiries, Yunjing finally told them calmly that they were fine, there was no need to worry, and nothing they were worried about would happen.

People's emotions can be infected. The more relaxed Yunjing is, the more confident the villagers will be. Because Yunjing is a scholar, he is the most capable and knowledgeable person in the village. If he says it's okay, then it must be okay. .

Those who are ignorant are stupid, but they are right when they listen to wise people.

It has become Yunjing's daily routine to appease the villagers. He is calm on the surface, but he is not at all more relaxed than the villagers.

Although even if there is a severe drought and there is no harvest in the field, it will have no effect on his cloud scene, and he will not be able to starve him, but the general environment is such that the overwhelming depression sweeps over, even he cannot remain indifferent.

Xiaoxi Village is comforted by Yunjing, and people's emotions are still stable, but bad things have already happened in other places.

Many farmers went to guard the county. They went to the government to ask if there would be a major drought and what to do if it really happened. For the people at the bottom, if there is a major disaster, the only thing they can count on .

The government naturally focuses on stability, appeases the people, tells them that such a thing will not happen, tries their best to persuade wave after wave, but there is still a steady stream of people running to consult, the government has to deal with it all day The people are very busy.

The government is also afraid now, what if there is a severe drought?Especially as a government official who knows more than the people at the bottom, I know that the whole country and even the surrounding dynasties have very little snow and precipitation today, or even almost none!

This is no longer a matter of one state and one place. If there is a severe drought and the whole country suffers, it is very likely that the whole world will be severely drought...

That kind of heavy pressure makes the scalp numb and fascinated, as if facing the collapse of the sky, the invisible horror cannot be described in words.

According to Yunjing's understanding, the price of food in the market has quietly skyrocketed recently. According to the latest situation, the price of food has doubled compared to normal times in previous years, and the trend will continue.

Everyone is afraid. When encountering such an abnormal season, they rush to buy and stockpile food. After all, there is food in hand and there is no panic.

This momentum can no longer be stopped. Under the general trend, even if the government develops part of the warehouse to calm the price of food, it will not help. It is not an exaggeration to describe it as a drop in the bucket.

There are always cold-blooded people in the world, especially some merchants. Seeing the opportunity to make money and seeing the price of food soaring, they wantonly amass money. They either raise the price of food, or wait for the price to continue to rise with less shipments, and some simply close their doors. Grain piles and warehouses are waiting to make a fortune when the price of food peaks. Now anyone with a little brain can see that the rise in food prices is just the beginning...

For such disgusting merchants, the government naturally cannot sit idly by and issue a series of regulations to deal with them, but the effect is not great. Everyone does this. If they want to make a fortune in food, they can't all be caught and killed, right?

And all of this is just the beginning. After all, the severe drought has only shown a little sign, and it has not really arrived. It is impossible to imagine what will happen when the real severe drought comes and people have no food to eat.

When the price of grain rose to [-]% higher than normal in previous years, Yun Jing had already ordered Song Yan to stop buying grain. It was meaningless to continue. The whole world seemed to be in panic. What's the deal?
With limited manpower, he, Yunjing, can only try his best to do what should be done, and there is nothing more he can do.

Sometimes when I think about it, I actually want to do more, but my ability may be limited, and that kind of feeling is really uncomfortable.

Born in the world, who doesn't want to be successful and help the world?But the world is too big, and a person is too small...

Throughout the day, most of Yunjing stays in the village, with his family, usually reading, more often writing and drawing on paper, occasionally looking up at the sky, his eyes are getting more and more worried, but when facing his family, he Always with a peaceful smile.

This family, without him, is calm.

As a man, being able to carry a family, the sense of accomplishment cannot be expressed in words, but a small family can carry it, how about everyone?I can only do my best, without Xiaojia, where did everyone come from?
Time passed by in this increasingly oppressive atmosphere.

Yunjing learned from Lin Xingyu that the three sects in Xinlin County finally merged together and became a brand new force, with the original Liuye Sword Sect as the leading force, it was considered unremarkable in the entire Jianghu a small fish.

Everyone's life is different, and the things they have to face and experience are also different. Just the changes in the three rivers and lakes in Xinlin County are nothing to the world, but for many people who live in it , but it is an extremely important part of life.

One day, Yunjing was reading at home, and his parents came back from outside. Yunshan carried a bucket on his shoulder, and Jiang Susu carried a wooden basin on his waist.

After they came back, their usual smiles disappeared, and they glanced at Yun Jing who was reading a book in the gazebo, hesitant to speak, but in the end, he didn’t say anything, Yun Shan went to pour the well water he picked back into the tank, a little lost in thought Standing there, Jiang Susu quietly dried the washed clothes.

Yun Jing noticed the family's reaction immediately, and immediately put down the scroll and asked, "Father, mother, what's wrong with you?"

"It's okay, Xiaojing, I'll read your book." Jiang Susu turned her head and forced a smile, with a sad look on her face.

Yunshan thought for a while and said, "Xiaojing, the small river in the village is almost dry, and there is not much water in the well. Your mother can hardly find a place to wash the clothes. I have to carry water with you." Others line up, what can we do if we continue like this, we will soon run out of water..."

Jiang Susu turned her head and glared at Yunshan when she heard the words, complaining: "What are you talking about with Xiaojing, don't delay Xiaojing's reading, if it delays my son's studies, I will not obey."

In Jiang Susu's view, what's the use of telling Yun Jing about these things?If there is no water, that is God's business. Yunjing can still produce water. In her simple concept, Yunjing's reading and learning are the most important.

"...pretend I didn't say it," Yun Shan opened his mouth and shook his head, looking at the water tank which was only half filled with worry.

Yunjing's house has 'tap water' installed, but the problem is that the stream is almost dry now, where is there still water coming along the bamboo pipe?As a last resort, the family had no choice but to pick up buckets to carry water.

There has been no snow or rain for several months, and various problems have become serious. The drought has not only affected the ability to grow crops in the coming year, but also the impact of people's daily drinking water.

The importance of water is self-evident. You can survive for seven or eight days without food, but without drinking water, it is difficult for a person to live for three days!
Hearing what his parents said, a trace of solemnity flashed in Yun Jing's eyes, but he raised his head and smiled and said, "Father, what should I do? Don't worry, maybe there will be water tomorrow."

"What you said is that water can still fall from the sky. Well, it seems that it really fell from the sky. Forget it, I went to carry water. I always feel uneasy when the water tank is full." Yun Shan muttered, and immediately He picked up the bucket and went out again.

There is nothing to do in winter. He has been a farmer all his life, and he always feels weak if he doesn't find some work.

Jiang Susu turned her head and said with a smile: "Xiaojing, read your book, don't worry about the family affairs, is the water thing like ours?"

Yun Jingxin said that everyone is like this to make people worry, but he said: "It's only temporary, and it's not that there is no water at the moment, maybe someday the water will appear by itself."

Jiang Susu didn't take it seriously, and continued to dry the clothes.

Water, is it imminent, but there is no rain or snow in the sky...

After pondering for a moment, Yunjing continued to read, various thoughts flashed through his mind.

In the afternoon, grandpa Yunshan came back with Dahei, accompanied by Yundong Yunxi, the three of them went to graze the cattle for a day, so there was nothing for the cattle to eat in the wild during this season, but this was not the case. Get in the way of taking the cattle out for a walk.

After they came back, Yundong and Yunxi played carelessly, but grandfather Yunlin did not have the slightest smile in his eyes. He has been a farmer all his life, and recently his eyes often flashed with fright.

He is not so much going to graze the cattle as he is going to look at the fields. There are cracks in the fields, and the cattle's feet can sink in. The soil is so dry that dust will rise up when the wind blows. I dare not say it, I feel scared when I think about it, even though his family has long stopped relying on the fields, but how can the things engraved deep in the soul all his life be easily changed due to changes in family conditions?
At night, the whole family fell asleep, and Yunjing left home without a sound.

Maybe it was Xuanzhiyouxuan's blood sense. When Yunjing left home, Jiang Susu subconsciously woke up and opened his eyes, and murmured: "Everyone's life is the same, don't be brave..."

"What are you talking about, sleep", Yun Shan muttered in his sleep.

The moonlight at night was beautiful, but there was no smile on Yunjing's face. After he left home, he first went to see the wells that the villagers used daily.

There is still water in the well, but it is not as turbulent as usual. Although there is still water coming out, it looks lifeless and may dry up at any time.

After staying here for a while, Yunjing went to look at the small stream in the village. Just like what his father Yun Shan said, it was about to stop flowing. The rocks in the river channel were white under the moonlight, which made people feel chills.

Occasional stagnant water in the stream is lifeless, the night is cold, and frost has condensed on the edge...

Along the stream, Yunjing looked upstream, pondered for a moment, then flew upstream along the stream, until the most upstream mountain, tens of miles away.

There is no water upstream...

Standing at the source of the stream, Yunjing stayed there for a while, he had some worries in his heart, he was not in a hurry to go home, but went to some other places, and observed many places in the county. After a while, the situation was not optimistic.

In the entire county, the streams and rivers are short of water, and many places have been completely cut off. This situation makes Yunjing extremely depressed.

In the end, he even went to the Lijiang River to take a look, feeling even more dignified. The Lijiang River, which was tens of miles wide, was originally mighty, but now it is a little dull, like an old man in his twilight years. The water level has dropped by two or three meters. What is the concept of the Lijiang River, which is tens of miles long, when the water level drops by two or three meters?Shipping and both sides of the strait will be greatly affected!

The small river has no water, the big river is dry, and there is no source of running water. How can the Lijiang River maintain its former vastness?
Something big is going to happen!
Standing on the edge of the Lijiang River, Yunjing stayed for half the night, with a lot of thoughts and boredom, and finally went home, what can he do?
Another two days passed, and two days later, Yunshan came back happily with a bucket, saying that the river in the village was full of water again, as usual, and the water in the well was also overflowing, and the villagers no longer had to worry about running out of water.

While he was happy, he also wondered why the creeks and wells, which were almost dry before, suddenly had water, which was beyond his comprehension.

Regarding this, Yunjing joked that God made a joke for everyone a few days ago to scare people.

All in all, there is water, and it seems that the previous situation will not appear in a short time, and the depressed mood of the villagers has relaxed a lot.

There was water in the village again, of course Yunjing did it quietly. He opened up the underground water veins, and the groundwater gushed out, which naturally solved the problem of no water in the village.

He has carefully observed that the underground water veins are abundant, Xiaoxi Village will not worry about running out of water in a short time, and even the farming will not be affected after the spring of next year, and the villagers' worries will naturally be resolved.

But the question is, if the drought continues, how long can the groundwater last?How many months?Half a year or a year?There is always a time to run out...

I just hope God opens his eyes before the groundwater dries up.

The problem in Xiaoxi Village has been solved, but what about other places?
Yunjing is very busy, and spends time every day traveling around, starting from the nearest place, helping those villages and towns that are seriously short of water to get through the groundwater, as much as he can, and he doesn't mind helping those in need.

But the question is how much can he help alone?There are too many people and places that need help, and he can only do his best.

Moreover, the groundwater does not just get through. There are many issues to consider, such as the abundance of the groundwater, what kind of flow can be opened up to maintain the water source to the maximum, such as if the groundwater reaches a certain level, will it cause land subsidence, so choose to get through. The place is very particular...

Still the same sentence, how much can Yunjing do alone?Do as much as you can...

As a scholar, Yun Jing still has some responsibility. Even if he has never been an official, he has enjoyed the welfare of the state after all. In the current situation, Yun Jing has also shown the attitude of a scholar.

He seriously wrote a letter of advice, submitted it as a scholar, and suggested that the dynasty send strange people and things to help the people solve the water shortage problem. He originally wanted to suggest that the dynasty mobilize the people to build rivers, but he didn't write it because If the issue of corvée is involved in this way, many human tragedies may occur. Now that the people's lives are already becoming increasingly difficult, why make things worse for them?
There are countless strange people and strange things in the world, and most of them are people who look for mountains and veins. If they are dispatched, they can open up the land veins, or open mountains to drain water. .

I don’t know if it’s because of the dynasty’s actions or because of Yunjing’s own reasons. His words of remonstrance don’t come to nothing, but the government has taken action. Anyway, Yunjing will occasionally encounter the congenital stage and even the true artistic conception active on the earth when he goes out at night soon...

Perhaps a catastrophe is approaching, and it is necessary to unite as one, and it will be terrible if nothing is done.

But everything is just the beginning, what will happen in the future?

Busy days always go by very quickly. In addition to being busy, all kinds of news also come together. The serious water shortage in many places has affected the difficulty of drinking water for the people in Taoism, and even began to leave their hometowns due to lack of water!

In addition, the rebellious guy by the stream, the third prince, not only failed to suppress it, on the contrary, the loss of soldiers and generals made him stronger.

Banditry is also increasing day by day, people are panicking, various forces in the arena are also ready to move, and a sense of depression is flooding the world...

Under such a big environment, one day when Jiang Susu cooked a table of sumptuous meals and the family got together, Yunjing realized that his birthday had come quietly.

, For a person's life, this is a very important time. In a sense, this is the real adulthood, and responsibilities and responsibilities will follow.

But Yunjing's previous performance made people ignore this point.

Yunjing's birthday is very ordinary, and being with his family can be regarded as a joyous time.

Originally, in his capacity, it would not be too much to make a fuss, at least to celebrate with three or five friends, but those were all saved.

Before I knew it, I had been in this world for eighteen years...

Grandpa Yunshan gave Yunjing a big red envelope, and told him to grow up, and you will take care of the family in the future. When grandpa gets old, the family will depend on you in the future. It is hard to describe the joy and melancholy.

Yunshan drank some wine and had complicated emotions. The son grows up, which means he is old.

Mother Jiang Susu is very happy, because her son Yunjing will always be her pride, but when she smiles, her eyes turn red, because her son has grown up, so when he grows up, don't she want to be a mother?It's hard to express that feeling.

Yun Dong wrote a poem for Yun Jing, even though the shit was unreasonable and the doggerel was barely enough, but Yun Jing was very happy, well, the two of them are not good at writing poems, anyway, it’s over when they are happy.

Yun Xi drew a painting for Yun Jing, and Yun Jing accepted it very dearly, saying that it was one of the best gifts he received.

On the same day, Yunjing received gifts from Su Xiaoye, Bai Zhi, Lin Xingyu, Wang Bolin and the others, and even Master and Mistress. They never forgot, even thousands of miles away. Ye Tiandu sent a gift on the same day.

Among them, Master Li Qiu's gift only has two characters, which is a pair of calligraphy and painting, on which only the word "Shouxin" is written.

Yun Jing looked at those two words for a long time, and said to his master in the distance in his heart that he has never failed to live up to these two words...

After receiving Master’s gift of calligraphy and painting, Yun Jing wrote back a long letter to Master. The master and apprentice had nothing to say. In the letter, Yun Jing focused on analyzing the current drought situation and its impact on the coming year. He hoped that Master Can increase the importance of the dynasty through its own influence.

In the letter, Yunjing pointed out that although the water level of the Lijiang River has dropped, it is still unstoppable, so everyone should use the water of the Lijiang River. He reminded Master to use the power of the dynasty to build huge water trucks on both sides of the river, and then dig ditches to maximize the water supply. Leading the water of the Lijiang River to the far away land, so that the spring plowing on both sides of the Lijiang River will not be affected as much as possible.

This kind of suggestion is not Yunjing's fantasy. After all, there are countless capable people and different people in the world. Take ditch-draining as an example, a true artistic conception is no worse than a bunch of heavy equipment from his previous life. It is not difficult to say, as long as we take action, we dare not say too much, and it is still possible to divert the water of the Lijiang River to a radius of hundreds of miles in a short period of time.

How long is the Li River?It almost runs through Dali, and the cultivation of hundreds of miles of land along the coast will not be affected, which will ensure an incalculable grain production.

In addition to the Lijiang River, the same can be done in other rivers. As long as there is water, use it as much as possible.

Yunjing told Master about waterwheel and siphon, anyway, Yunjing is trying his best to help more people.

His ability alone is limited, and exhaustion is a drop in the bucket, so he can only mobilize more power.

Sometimes Yunjing is at a loss as to whether what he has done is meaningful to the general environment. There must be meaning, but with the current abnormal seasonal conditions, it is unknown to what extent it will develop in the future.

After the letter was written, Yunjing sent it directly to the master instead of posting it. The master and apprentice met, and separated after a short contact.

As Li Qiu, a great official in the frontier, he had to deal with far more things than Yun Jing imagined in the current situation, and the meeting with Yun Jing was taken out of his busy schedule.

After carefully reading what Yunjing wrote, he patted Yunjing on the shoulder, very relieved, and rejected Yunjing's kind suggestion to send a message, and used twin flowers to communicate directly with the capital.

He, Yun Jing, and many other people are trying their best to contribute.

In the current situation, the drought is probably inevitable, and it is still the kind of severe drought that affects the whole country. Once the severe drought comes, there will be many problems involved at that time, and it is difficult to express it in a few words.

After Yunjing came back, he was already thinking about various problems that might arise during the catastrophe. Among them, the most inevitable point was that the catastrophe had to be prevented, and then the bandits and soldiers and disaster relief. These Yunjing's ability alone was limited. But he can try his best to put forward opinions and suggestions.

Before you know it, this year will pass, the New Year Festival is coming, and after the New Year Festival, it will be spring plowing!
