Chapter 58 Preparing to grow food
"Sir, don't you distribute it directly to the soldiers?"

"There's no need to show off! In the recent period, the government will definitely send people to come and see that these equipments are not good! You can just practice normally on weekdays!"

"Yes, son!"

Zheng Li then turned around and rushed towards the dormitory where the soldiers lived.

At this time, the old village chief heard that Lin Yun was coming back and immediately came out to greet him.

"Sir, you are back! I thought you were going to spend the night in Yucheng tonight!"

Lin Yun smiled and said: "You always come with me! I have a task to arrange!"

The old village chief was stunned and immediately followed.

Returning to her living room, Lin Wuyue immediately served tea.

Now my life is more comfortable, and I have prepared some good tea.

The old village chief looked flattered. He hadn't had tea in many years.

He took a sip of tea and asked, "Mr. Lin, has something happened?"

Lin Yun shook his head and said: "That's right! How many people in our village can work every day now?"

"About... more than two hundred and thirty people!"

Lin Yun nodded. There were only 500 people in the village, and more than half of them were old and infirm.

This aging is also quite serious.

"That's right, it's spring and summer now, and I want to mobilize the villagers to grow food, so that when the heavy snows block roads in winter, we will have food to eat!"

Lin Yun knows that food is the most important material under any circumstances.

On the side, Lin Wuyue and Oona were both surprised.

Farming is not as easy as making black powder.

It requires working in the fields every day, which requires a lot of labor, and the output is not guaranteed.

Because in this world, farmers depend on the weather for their crops. Only if the weather is good this year can they have a good harvest.

The old village chief said bitterly: "Mr. Lin, you should know something about the environment of Niubei Village! The surrounding land is barren and no crops can be grown at all! If they can farm the land, how can the villagers leave wasteland? What’s more, Niubei Village is suffering from drought all year round, and there are only a handful of rainfalls throughout the year, so don’t bother!”

Lin Yun took a sip of hot tea, deliberately hissed, and said: "You don't have to worry! Just because others can't do it, doesn't mean that I, Lin Yun, can't do it too! You should prepare for this first! Wait until We will go to the ground in person tomorrow and we will know at a glance!”

Seeing what Lin Yun said, the old village chief could only nod in agreement.

However, although he said it was impossible, when he thought that Lin Yun was a person who could create miracles, infinite hope arose in his heart, and he left happily.

Without the outsiders, Lin Wuyue immediately asked: "Ms. sir, do you really plan to farm? The old village chief is right, the land in Niubei Village is really not good!"

Lin Wuyue's family used to be a large grain grower. Although she had never farmed, she still knew some basic common sense.

Lin Yun smiled and said, "Then tell me, why not?"

"Does this need to be said? First of all, the land in Niubei Village is dry, like caked sand, and there is a strange smell. Even the weeds don't grow, so how can we grow crops? Those datura flowers are still there because of It is drought tolerant, so it can grow!”

Lin Wuyue finally encountered something familiar and spoke clearly and logically.

Even Ye Wanqing and Oona nodded frequently.

Of course, the two women didn't understand at all.

Ye Wanqing used to be an official in the court and had no contact with growing crops, and she also believed that farming needed to rely on heaven.

As for the southern barbarians where Oona lives, they make a living by nomadic herders, and they don't know how to farm.

Lin Yun nodded and said: "You are right. The land is dry, which proves that the land cannot lock in moisture, and the rainfall is too infrequent! And the strange smell you mentioned is because Niubei Village is originally a saline-alkali land! But , these difficulties are not insurmountable!"

The three women's eyes lit up.

Ye Wanqing said in surprise: "Ms. sir, it sounds like you already have a solution?" "Of course, if it can't be solved, why should I plant crops?"

Lin Yun's enigmatic look seemed to cover up a layer of mystery, which aroused the curiosity of the three women.

"My husband is really amazing. It seems that no matter what difficulties I have here, you can solve them!"

Oona spoke what was in her heart, but it was also what Lin Wuyue and Ye Wanqing felt.

"Haven't you heard a saying? As long as your thoughts don't slip, there are always more solutions than difficulties!"

The three women rolled their eyes at the same time and sneered at Lin Yun's words.

In their view, it is absolutely impossible to grow crops in extremely barren land like Niubei Village.

After that, Lin Yun went to his workshop again.

Ye Wanqing coughed slightly, her face turned red, and said, "Sister Wuyue! Well... can you give me your husband tonight?"

Lin Wuyue was stunned for a moment, then immediately covered her mouth and snickered, saying: "Wanqing, could you be..."

Ye Wanqing was unbearably shy and said, "I am also my husband's wife now, but I am always in name only, so I want to..."

"Okay! I understand! But... you have to say hello to my husband first!"

Lin Wuyue had a smile on her face. As someone who has experienced this, she naturally understands women's hearts best.

At this time, Oona immediately patted the table and said, "Hey, sisters, why don't you ask my opinion?"

Lin Wuyue curled her lips and said: "You are the third sister, so naturally you will be ranked last!"

Ye Wanqing blushed and said, "How about... let's take third sister first tonight?"

Oona just opened her mouth instinctively, not really wanting to argue, and immediately said awkwardly: "Sister Wanqing misunderstood! I didn't mean that! I mean, if we discuss this, if my husband knows, I'm afraid he will Not happy!"

Lin Wuyue pushed Ye Wanqing's arm and said, "Silly girl, why don't you go and wait outside? If my husband comes back, let's see if you still dare to say it!"

"oh oh!"

Only then did Ye Wanqing react, stood up and left.

Here, Lin Yun had no idea what the three women were thinking, so he put the remaining perfume into small wooden bottles and cleaned up the debris on the workbench.

He walked out of the workroom and was about to go back to his room to rest when he was suddenly grabbed by a hand.

Lin Yun was frightened and turned around suddenly: "Fuck! Who is it?"

He only saw a woman in a white dress in the darkness.

After taking a closer look, I finally recognized Ye Wanqing.

Lin Yun smiled bitterly and said, "What are you doing, girl? Are you scared to death of others?"

Ye Wanqing's face was flushed, but because of the dark night, Lin Yun hadn't noticed her yet.

However, she already felt unbearably hot.

"Um...my husband, can you come to my room? I have something to ask you!"

Lin Yun didn't feel her change at all and said with a smile: "What? What's wrong with you? You can just tell me! There's no one here!"

"Oops! There's nothing to say here, just come with me!!"

With that said, he grabbed Lin Yun and ran towards his room.

Lin Yun was confused by her.
