Space at hand: Pick up a prince to farm

Chapter 1517 The Reservoir

Where to grow food.

Of course it is grown in space. The food in her current space can basically allow people in a large province to eat leisurely for ten years.

Where else does she need a place to grow food?
But it was impossible for Song Chen to tell them.

He raised his head and smiled, "You can just buy the grain when the time comes. Two people can't eat much anyway. I will buy it from whichever family in our village has surplus grain, and I will pay it according to the market price."

Now there is no need to hide these words anymore. No one will report you just because you say such things.

Then slap him with the label of speculation.

What the villagers now want to do is to grow their crops well, try to increase the yield of the crops, keep enough food for their own families, and sell everything else to make money.

Now that Song Chen said this, everyone didn't think it was a big deal.

"Then you plant slowly, and we'll go to the fields too."

Song Chen responded, "Hey, okay, let's go get busy~"

It's better to be busy.

Only if everyone works hard can this reform be meaningful.

Of course, only if everyone works hard can they not focus too much attention on her.

This acre of vegetables is not her main goal now. She now needs to rely on the general environment here to start laying the groundwork.

Xiaohe Village is the last village downstream of the river, but although the river water is still a public resource, Song Chen has experienced too many natural and man-made disasters, and she knows that there are some things that must be prevented first.

The first thing she needs to do is to build at least five large reservoirs in the village.

Taking precautions before things happen is something she has always paid attention to.

Of course, to do this, you must first communicate with the village committee.

In the past, she would have gone directly to the captain, but it was different now. Xiaohe Village was divided into three groups, and the captain became the captain of their group.

If you want to find something like this, you still have to go to the village chief and village party secretary.

She can provide money, but she must not let the villagers just sit back and enjoy the benefits.

The village party secretary is new and was sent directly from above. He has always been very polite to Cang Xiuxuan. After today, Song Chen naturally wanted to optimize the use of resources and brought Cang Xiuxuan with him.

The village chief has dealt with Song Chen many times, and even now he feels that something good is about to happen whenever he sees Song Chen.

The village party secretary was as always very polite to Song Chen and Cang Xiuxuan.

Master Cang Xiu was cold, and others were used to his style of slightly nodding, but Song Chen couldn't. After entering, she still greeted the two of them with smiles.

"Village chief, party secretary, hello."

The village chief had been helped a lot by Song Chen along with the captain, and he was really kind to her. Now he waved his hand when he heard her greeting him so politely.

"What are you doing to make yourself so angry?"

After saying that, he looked at the two of them again. Although they could be seen almost every day in a village, they both came to the village headquarters together. The village chief asked directly without any further foreshadowing.

"Xiaochen, what are you doing here?"

Song Chen liked the village chief's straight-to-the-point style. When the village chief asked, she responded quickly.

"There's something really wrong. I've looked at the geographical environment of our village in the past few days. Everything else is fine, but water may be a little difficult."

"Hey, isn't it just difficult?" The village chief sighed after hearing this, "Who asked us to be downstream? In previous years, when we were still production teams, when the rice planting season came, several brigades needed water, and every year It’s almost a fight.”

The village chief couldn't help but think of the scene of the production team at that time. Even if you have divided the water distribution time with several other production teams, if you don't keep watch all night, you will find that the fields are still there at dawn. no water.

"It's okay now, but when it comes time to plant rice, I don't know what to do."

Compared with other grains, rice goes to the fields relatively late, and it needs to be cultivated before that.

As long as these seedlings are planted, all they need is water!

Now it is no longer like a production team united to guard water. Every household has to rely on itself.

He was really worried about what trouble would happen.

Just thinking about it, he came back to his senses and looked at Song Chen with bright eyes.

"Xiaochen, you suddenly asked me this, do you have any ideas?"

Song Chen didn't hide it and smiled.

"Nothing can be hidden from the village chief. I really came here today just for the water. I want to build several reservoirs in the village to prepare for emergencies."

"Yes! Why didn't I think of it!"

The village chief slapped his thigh and looked at the village party secretary excitedly, "Party secretary, you don't know how difficult it was for us to use water in previous years. If we can get a water reservoir this year, then the problems we are worried about will disappear."

The water reservoir is indeed a good method, and the village party secretary naturally agrees.

But he still had concerns.

"The reservoir is indeed good, but building it requires investment. Now the village has more than 100 yuan in its account, which is not enough at all!"

Not even one reservoir can be built, let alone four or five.

But they forgot that Song Chen came here just for this reservoir, and money was not an issue at all.

What she wants is the support of their village committee and the support of the entire village.

"Party Secretary, how much does this reservoir cost?"

The village party secretary didn't think too much and quoted the price directly.

"If you ask outsiders to do it, it would be a conservative estimate of one thousand per person, but if every household in the village works, it will be around five hundred to six hundred."

Not long after he came to this village, he understood all the difficulties and advantages here. It was not that he had never thought of using water reservoirs to solve the problem of water during busy farming, but the cost was too high and the village simply could not afford it. .

According to Song Chen's idea, the whole village must work together. After all, it is something that everyone benefits from.

She wants everyone to feel involved.

"Otherwise, we will sponsor the cost, but I hope that every household in the village will be involved in the work. According to our current division, each of the three groups will build a reservoir. The specific location needs to be discussed by everyone. "

She originally wanted to get a few more, but when she got here and thought about it carefully, she decided to get three, one for each team, and no one was jealous of anyone.

But after she finished speaking, the village chief and party secretary were stunned.

Even the village chief, who had already seen Song Chen's generosity, didn't know what to say at this moment. It took him a long time to come back to his senses.

"Xiaochen, are you sure? This is not a matter of a few hundred yuan. Three groups of water reservoirs cost nearly 2000 yuan!"
