Chapter 1435 The fire a few years ago
Gaojia Village was even more dilapidated than Yangjia Village that Long Yu and the others had passed by before, and a group of people standing at the entrance of the village raised their eyebrows and could see the end of the village at a glance.

In the dilapidated and dilapidated village, a dozen or so households lived sparsely.

However, someone in Gaojia Village has a dog. When the dog smells a stranger, it rushes towards the entrance of the village barking.

Fearing that the dog would jump up and hurt Long Yu and Yan Xiaosi, Wu Longwei and the Qin family sisters rushed forward neatly, and the seven of them formed a human wall.

The murderous aura of the seven people was released from the inside out, making the skinny dog ​​tremble in fright, and backed away with a howl.

The local dog was raised by the village head of Gaojia Village. Hearing the dog barking was unusual, the village head rushed to the village entrance with a few young people. When he saw Chunyu Hanfeng and his party and several government servants in plain clothes at the entrance of the village, The village head and several young people in the village frowned at the same time, showing a defensive look.

What are these people doing in Gaojia Village?Could it be that people from the government pretended to be in disguise? Could it be that the government didn't think it was enough to take over their Gaojia Village?
The village head glanced at Chunyu Hanfeng and the others, and his heart was very angry, but he didn't dare to get angry easily when he saw the crowd on the opposite side.

"What are you doing in Gaojia Village today?"

Chunyu Hanfeng waved his folding fan and replied, "We are a business traveler, passing by Guibao today, I feel a little thirsty, and want to go to the village to ask for a bowl of water."

After Chunyu Hanfeng greeted the village chief, he turned his face and gave the lone wolf beside him a wink.

The lone wolf understood, and immediately took out a small silver coin from his pocket and handed it to the village chief.

"My son is thirsty. Please trouble this uncle to make a pot of tea for my son. This is a small gesture."

The village chief glanced down at the silver coin, but did not accept it, but the defensive look on his face faded.

"Just asking for a bowl of water, no need to give money, no tea, only well water, if you are used to drinking, come with me."

"Get used to it, get used to it."

The village chief turned and left with those young people, Chunyu Hanfeng gave Long Yu and his wife a wink, and the three of them followed the village chief's pace majestically surrounded by a group of followers.

After a while, the village head stopped in front of a low tile-roofed house, and waved to the young people beside him sideways: "It's nothing, you all go to your own business."

After those young people left, the village chief turned around and said to Chunyu Hanfeng and the others: "This is a humble house, everyone, please come with me."

With Long Yu's support, Yan Xiaosi followed the village head into the house while looking at the village head's house.

Although it is a tile-roofed house, it looks like it has been in disrepair for a long time. The tiles on the roof are sparse, and the wooden house is also a little tilted. If it is not repaired, this house may not last for a few years.

"My house is narrow, everyone just wait in the yard."

After the village chief informed, he walked into the main room and came out with a chair, handing the chair to Yan Xiaosi's side.

"It's good to have only one chair left in my house. This lady is pregnant and it's inconvenient for her to sit on it for a while."

"Thank you uncle."

After Yan Xiaosi thanked her, she sat down slowly with Long Yu's support.

Seeing that Yan Xiaosi's attitude is easy-going, not as high-spirited as the wives of other rich families, looking at people with their nostrils anytime and anywhere, the village chief's tone of voice softened a bit.

"Madam, you are welcome. Madam is pregnant with a child and it is not suitable to drink raw water from the well. Madam, please sit here for a while, and I will ask my old lady to boil some hot water for you."

"It's hard work, uncle."

Yan Xiaosi watched the village chief leave, and saw him get into a very low side shed.

After a while, chattering cooking smoke rose from the roof of the side shed.

About a quarter of an hour later, the village chief came out of the low shed with a broken kettle in his hand, and the old woman with a stack of chipped pottery bowls in her hand.

"I kept you waiting for a long time."

After the old couple informed, they first poured Yan Xiaosi a bowl of water.

The old couple had to put away the bowls after adding water to the group, so they didn't leave immediately.

Yan Xiaosi took the water, put it to his mouth and blew gently, then raised his eyebrows and asked: "Uncle, auntie, there are quite a lot of land near your village, why don't you see Yangchun, at this time of the year?" You can grow cucumbers, winter melons and pumpkins, it’s a pity that so much land is wasted.”

"Hey!"

After Yan Xiaosi finished speaking, the old couple couldn't help but let out a heavy sigh.

In order to gain a deeper understanding of the situation in Gaojia Village, Yan Xiaosi had no choice but to ask knowingly: "Uncle, Auntie, why are you two sighing? Have you encountered any problems? Why don't you tell us, maybe my elder brother and I Husband can help."

The village chief waved his hand and said, "The county magistrate cannot solve our village's problems, not only the county magistrate, but also the two imperial envoys sent by the emperor. Madam, we appreciate your kindness."

Yan Xiaosi said: "My husband and my eldest brother are quite capable, if you don't tell us about your problems, how do you know they can't solve them?"

The old couple looked at each other, and the old lady said: "Since this lady is kind and wants to help our Gaojia Village, old man, let's tell this lady about the situation in Gaojia Village, even if we can't change the plight of Gaojia Village, we There's nothing to lose, either."

"Ah."

The village head then nodded and said: "Madam and the two young masters don't know that so many fields in our Gaojia Village are deserted, not because people in our village are lazy and don't want to farm, but because they throw seeds into the ground, or It's just that the seeds can't sprout, or the sprouts don't grow big, and the harvest is very little at the end of the year. This is not only the case in our Gaojia Village, but also in many villages in Yufeng County. If the grain production continues to be so low, Yufeng How many people in the county will starve to death."

Yan Xiaosi pretended to be surprised.

"How did this happen? The fields in Yufeng County have always been unable to grow food like this, or has it become like this in recent years?"

The village chief pondered for a while and replied: "Five years ago, the grain output in Yufeng County was quite high. At that time, the fields were fertile, and you could have a good harvest in spring. Since the large-scale forest fire, the grain output in Yufeng County has been reduced. It won't work."

After a large-scale forest fire, food production will not be enough——Yan Xiaosi keenly grasped this sentence.

According to common sense, the plant ash formed after forest fires is an excellent fertilizer. How could crops not grow after forest fires?

"Uncle, how did you deal with the black ash left by the forest fire?"

The village head recalled carefully and said: "There were too many black plant ash at that time. The county magistrate was afraid that the black plant ash would affect the growth of crops, so he ordered to clean up most of the black plant ash."
