Farmer's Ruyi Manor

Chapter 368 The Drought Worsens, Everyone Discusses (6)
"Well, cousin, you came here because of this matter, right? How is it, how is the Du Mansion?" You Zixuan saw the distressed cousin, needless to say, he knew that it must be the result of a conflict with the refugees.

"Yushan ran away from home a while ago, saying she was looking for Xiaohua. Mother was crying every day, and she was so annoying. Fortunately, I knew she had gone to the capital, so I sent someone to follow her. It's hard to imagine how she dared to do such a thing? "When Du Yuchen said about his sister, he shook his head.

"No way, Yushan actually dared to run away from home?" Xiaohua was startled at first, and then said, "It's a good thing we're going to the capital, otherwise we don't know what will happen to this drought."

"The Du mansion is fine. Everything in the house is ready. But it's useless if we don't solve the water problem. It's impossible to go on like this forever." Du Yuchen said helplessly.

You Zixuan nodded: "Okay, let's not talk about that, let's talk about the business first. Senior brother, you must have seen a lot of things along the way, I wonder what you can do?"

"If only I had a solution, it would be great. Looking at those refugees, I feel sad. One by one, they left their homes for water to drink." Lu Qiumo was very helpless. These people were all the people of Liming in their Daqing Dynasty. In this way, there is nothing you can do.The powerlessness of the second junior brother must be like this.

"What about you, cousin, what can you do?" You Zixuan shook his head, then asked Du Yuchen.

Du Yuchen looked at Xiao Hua and said, "I have no idea, but I believe Xiao Hua will."

Before the words fell, Lu Qiumo said: "Second junior brother said, if Miss Xiaohua can solve this problem, I will give you three conditions. Any condition can be agreed. Of course, the condition must be reasonable. This is You can read the imperial decree for yourself, I won’t read it out.” After that, he took out a miniature imperial decree from his pocket and handed it to Xiaohua.

Xiaohua opened it and saw that it was indeed the case. She handed the edict to Xiaocao to see, then looked at Xiaocao and said, "I don't know if Zixuan can help you?"

"Isn't it? Now we are all waiting for your solution, what are you waiting for, Junior Brother?" Lu Qiumo called out first.

Du Yuchen looked at Xiao Hua with a smile, and You Zixuan frowned and said, "I wonder if there is a way to turn sea water into fresh water that people can drink?"

After hearing this, everyone turned their gazes to Xiao Hua.

"This method is a little troublesome." Xiaohua thought that it was possible in modern times, but in modern times, it is very troublesome. It should be even more difficult in this era.

"Let's hear it?" You Zixuan's eyes brightened instantly when he heard that there was something going on.

"I remember that it seems possible to do this. It is to make an iron lid first, to cover the fruit. Then put sea water into the pot and boil it. Of course, you can't put too much. After that boils, there will be a layer of water on the top of the pot lid. Pour that water into a clean bucket, and so on and on. That water should be drinkable, but I haven’t tried it, so I’m not sure. You can ask someone to try it. In addition, I have a few other methods here, no I know if you are interested." "This method is to find someone to try it out. If there is no problem, then the drinking water problem in the villages by the sea should be able to solve it. If there is any other method, please tell me." Lu Qiumo Eyes lit up, this girl, I have to admire her.

"It's like this. The source of every river comes from the mountains. You can send people to search for it on the mountains in various places. As long as you encounter a place with water, find the source, dig that place, and block the source. That's it. Store water for drinking. I believe that a mountain has more than one source. You can search for more. These can at least supply drinking water for many people. I believe that Qingzhou City has more than one mountain. Now there are many wild fruits on the mountain, which should be ripe soon. Which ones can be eaten? I believe people who live in that place know what you can’t eat. Remember, wild fruits can also quench your thirst. Another point, if you really can’t find water to drink, if there is a last resort, chop bamboo, put it in , there is also water. But I don’t recommend cutting down trees, as there are more trees, there will be more water.”

Hearing what Xiaohua said, everyone was stunned for a while. After all, they had never been to the mountain, nor lived there, so they knew little about it.

Even You Zixuan, Emperor Ming Le and Lu Qiumo, the three masters who learned things, only taught them in the palace, and never went to the real school to learn.

"There is one more thing, Zixuan, do you still remember the cliff I fell off? How did you find the entrance? I remember that I fell into the pool under the opening, remember? I believe that the water in the pool can Is it for drinking?"

"That's right, why did I forget this." Both You Zixuan and Du Yuchen looked suddenly enlightened.

"That place is easy to find. At that time, many people were sent to look for it. There is a shortcut to pass. Haha, now there is no need to worry about water. I will send people to various places first, and first talk about how to solve the water problem. "You Zixuan felt relieved now.

"Wait, what I said just now can only solve the current problems at this stage. Specifically, we have to wait for the rain to truly solve the urgent need." Xiao Hua held You Zixuan back.

"Yes, I know." You Zixuan nodded.

"If it really doesn't work, the water in our Chengjiakeng is relatively sufficient, and we can contribute some. But I think the reason why Chengjiakeng has more water than other places is because I have planted more trees in the past few years, and I have not found many trees. In places where there are no trees, the well water tends to be higher than where there are no trees? Why don't you know this?"

Seeing everyone shaking their heads, Xiaohua continued: "Trees have the functions of storing water and purifying the air. At the same time, they can also shelter from wind and rain in heavy wind and rain. So you guys, please plant more trees, even fruit trees like me. It’s all okay.” Xiaohua took the opportunity to publicize the issue of green environmental protection.

"Xiao Hua, how did you know that trees have these functions?" Under the influence of Xiao Hua, Xiaocao can understand Kyoto dialect, but can't speak it.

When everyone's eyes turned to Xiao Hua, she smiled and said, "I forgot which book I read it from."

Suddenly Xiaohua looked at the cumulus clouds in the sky, and murmured: "It shouldn't be."

"What shouldn't be?" You Zixuan was very concerned about everything about Xiaohua.

"It's nothing, by the way, do you have a carriage? If you have a carriage, transport all the water in our cellar to other places and give them to drink."

Suddenly, everyone expressed their incomprehension to what Xiao Hua said.

"Xiaohua, are you crazy? Isn't this water ready to come? In case our Chengjia Pit runs out of water, do you drink it?" Xiaocao took the lead in protesting.

"Hehe, don't worry, there can be water shortage anywhere, and our Chengjiakeng can't lack water." Xiaohua said confidently.
