How to survive in poverty: I use a simulator to farm

Chen Qiliang, the head of Chenjia Village, was constantly rejoicing in his heart. Fortunately, he listened to Chen Yixuan's suggestion and all the fields were planted with sorghum this year. Even on the few acres of muddy land beside the river beach, he and his family cultivated it.

Otherwise, how could the crops in their fields withstand such rainy days and hot weather now?

Maybe during the autumn harvest, there will be no harvest in the fields!

During this time, Chen Qiliang took the clan elders to check the fields every day.

The food in the fields is the foundation for them to be farmers.

How can people like them live without food?

Seeing the weather this year, some elders frowned and worried: "Qiliang, fortunately we listened to your advice and planted some sorghum. Otherwise, after this autumn harvest, many families will have no food to eat." .”

Chen Qiliang smiled: "I have always felt that growing sorghum is safer. Sorghum is easier to feed than wheat. Sorghum is not afraid of waterlogging, drought, and does not have many insects. Planting an acre of sorghum is better than planting an acre of wheat. We need to harvest more grain. Even after the autumn harvest, the price of sorghum is a little lower than that of wheat..."

The clan elders laughed and said: "Just lower it! At least growing sorghum can ensure that we don't starve to death!"

……

Chen Qiliang recently noticed that some young people in the village were becoming more and more lazy, so he called the elders to the ancestral hall to discuss the matter.

In this era, as long as one person in the village commits a serious crime, it is very likely to bring disaster to the nine tribes.

Who is most likely to commit a crime? They are nothing more than those stupid young people who idle around all day and have nothing to do.

Leng Touqing has little social experience and has no idea how cruel it is outside. If you are led astray by outsiders and get involved in pornography, gambling or drugs, it will be easy for you to lose your entire family. It is common for families to be broken up and people to die.

If he didn't want to be implicated by Leng Touqing, he, as both a clan leader and a village leader, had to take care of them all.

Soon, the village chief Chen Qiliang gathered all the idle people and asked them to pick up some mud from the river.

Even though he knew that these people seemed to be sick, and from what they said, they had a fever, their heads were a little dizzy, and their noses were blocked, he still insisted on letting them do it.

In his opinion, country people like them are poor people who don't have enough to eat or clothing to keep warm. What do poor people have to be pretentious about?

When you are sick, you have to hold on tight.

Why don't you go to work when you're sick?

When the village chief Chen Qiliang was very young, he heard from his father and his grandmother that his mother had just given birth to him and had not even finished confinement, so she went to work in the fields. He also said that after giving birth to the child, his mother only ate a few Japanese melons to replenish her body. She had never eaten any other nutritional supplements.

Chen Qiliang thought at that time that poor people lived such a hard life. Being a wife of a poor family also has to live a hard life with one meal but no next meal. Nothing to complain about.

……

No one dares to waste time. They get up before dawn in the morning and eat and sleep only after dark in the evening.

Over time, some people with weaker bodies will develop problems.

It turned out that some people had bad gastrointestinal problems and had loose stools every day, which led to anal fissures, redness, swelling and broken skin. Now that the farm work is done, they feel weaker and weaker. Some people's whole body turns yellow in less than half a month.

He also has high cheekbones, no flesh on his cheeks, and his body is extremely thin. Wearing tattered linen clothes, the strong wind on the mountain seemed to blow people down.

Soon, someone in the village began to vomit blood.

Not long after he vomited blood, he started to have black stool. Immediately afterwards, I couldn't eat or drink anymore. Soon, with a sigh of relief, they began to leave in twos and threes on the same day.

Seven or eight people left the village all of a sudden, and it happened in just seven or eight days. Chen Qiliang, the head of Chenjia Village, felt something was wrong when he saw this posture.

In the past, in their area, it was not uncommon for the whole village to catch colds, fevers, or even wind chills. But no matter what the situation is, it will not become so serious.

Now that so many people have died in just seven or eight days, and they are all young and middle-aged men in their twenties, Chen Qiliang immediately called his son and called the fluent elders in the village one by one. Everyone was invited.

Then, they sat around in a room and began to discuss countermeasures.

"Third Uncle, what are you talking about in our village? Do you want to report it to the government?"

Hearing Chen Qiliang's question, his third uncle frowned, and then said frankly: "Qiliang, I think this incident that happened in our village should be kept secret. We can't talk about it outside for the time being."

Chen Qiliang's third uncle is over seventy this year. His hair is gray and gray, and his beard is also gray and gray, and he has grown it very long.

His family once had a son who was educated. He still recognized Chen Yixuan's grandfather as his master and went to Fucheng many times to take the scholar examination.

His sons all passed the exam the third time. But just because his son was unlucky, a cold wind took his son's life...otherwise, his family would have turned around thanks to that son, and he would have lived a good life as a rich man.

Just because his son has such high achievements, these people in the village respect him. Everything he says counts and no one will ignore it.

Chen Qiliang was thinking seriously about what he said now.

Seeing that he was silent, his third uncle thought for a while and explained slowly: "Qiliang, I remember that this kind of thing happened in our area when I was only a teenager."

"At that time, there was a place less than five kilometers away from our village called Lijia Village. A plague broke out in that village. In less than half a month, thirty or forty people died. The village chief of Lijia Village was frightened at the time If he was going to die, he quickly reported the matter to the county government. Later, the county government responded in time and led people to surround Lijia Village. No entry or exit was allowed. Violators were not allowed to die. It was not the autumn harvest at that time, and every household Food was limited, so in less than a month, more than half of the people in Lijia Village starved to death..."

After hearing this, Chen Qiliang nodded and said: "Third uncle, you have lived longer than me and have eaten more rice than I have eaten salt. We all have to listen to you on this matter. We will not report the situation in the village to the government. Got it!"

To prevent people from the government from finding out about it, they will just take care of it.

Chen Qiliang discussed countermeasures with his third uncle and other clan elders.

The third uncle said fairly: "It's not too late. We should urge those families to bury those bones in the ancestral graves as soon as possible. It's best to finish it within these three days."

When Chen Qiliang heard this, although he didn't understand what it meant, he nodded and said: "Third uncle, I will take people with me later and ask them to take care of the matter."

His third uncle said with a stern face: "Remember, funerals must not be grand! Every household is not allowed to invite relatives and friends over for a banquet."

"Once the fact that seven or eight people died in our village in a row is known to outsiders, and if those who are interested add fuel to the fire, everything that is not a plague will be labeled as a plague. If it is really recognized as a plague, it will be a disaster for everyone in our Chenjia Village. For me, it will all turn into a catastrophe!”

"Third uncle, tell me, if the situation in our village is serious, will the government officials kill us all overnight?"

"This matter is not impossible..."
