Siheyuan: Back to 50 years ago, Shazhu joined the army

Yang Ming shook his head when he heard what He Yuzhu said.

"Secretary He, this is a serious problem. The water flow here used to be very large, and our village would often come here to fetch water to drink. But recently, for some reason, the water flow has become smaller and smaller.

I had previously suspected that the water hole above was blocked, and I even sent someone to check it out. It turned out that it was not the case, but that the water output at the source had decreased.

Of course, if that were the case, I wouldn't care so much, and I wouldn't go to so much trouble to come to you, Secretary He. The main reason is that the water flow in the mountain streams and creeks in the surrounding areas of our Meishan area has inexplicably decreased since I don't know when.

I don't understand why this happened, but I always feel that there is a problem here, so I came to you to take a look and find out the reason. "

After hearing Yang Ming's description of this abnormal phenomenon, He Yuzhu immediately fell into deep thought. He began to think about what this abnormal phenomenon meant.

Suddenly, a dusty historical memory emerged in his mind. He thought that it was now November 1958, and next year would be 11, which would be the first year when natural disasters began to occur.

I actually forgot such an important thing. Damn it.

You should know that starting from next year, there will be large-scale drought throughout China, and all major grain-producing provinces will not be spared without exception.

Of course, drought alone will only cause a significant reduction in grain production, and we can still survive by relying on the surplus grain in stock.

But on the other hand, the relationship between the Soviet Union and China gradually deteriorated. The former asked China to repay the debt owed during the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea when China was in the most difficult time. In order to cope with this situation, the whole country naturally tightened its belts and sold everything they had to repay the debt, which left granaries across the country with less grain.

Of course, there is one most important factor. At that time, the people's communes were plagued by false reporting, concealment, and lies. In addition, corruption within the commune was serious and bureaucracy was on the rise. These three problems combined led to such serious consequences.

When He Yuzhu learned that the water flow was beginning to decrease, it meant that the three-year natural disaster was about to come. This made He Yuzhu feel troubled, because he now had to race against time and come up with a response plan before the drought came.

Otherwise, there would be thousands of starving people, which was not what he wanted to see. He felt that time was a bit too tight. If he was given another year, he could definitely change history.

Thinking of this, He Yuzhu turned to look at Yang Ming.

"Village Chief Yang, well done. Thank you for providing this important information. This information is crucial to our Andong County and even the entire China. I will go back and study this issue carefully. If you have any emergencies, remember to come to the county party committee compound to find me at any time."

As soon as he finished speaking, He Yuzhu hurried back to Andong County.

County Party Secretary's Office,

He Yuzhu, who was sitting in his seat, was very uneasy at this moment. He was very panicked because the natural disaster was imminent and he had to think of a way to deal with it.

For this reason, the first thing He Yuzhu thought of was the help system.

"System, are you here? Something big has happened, please come out and show up!"

[Ding, host, I'm here, what can I do for you? ]

"System, let me ask you, regarding the problem of reduced water flow in various places, do you have a solution?"

[Ding, host, this question involves aspects of nature and is beyond the capabilities of this system.]

He Yuzhu was quite disappointed when he heard the system's answer. He immediately asked again.

"Then system, since there is no way to solve this problem from the root, then you have no other way to deal with it? Don't you claim to be the strongest system? I seriously doubt your ability now."

[Ding, this system is indeed powerless to solve problems beyond the capabilities of this system. This system admits this. However, the host does not need to worry too much. The host previously had a gold coin mall that can be exchanged for various supplies, which can allow the host and his family to survive this disaster perfectly.]

He Yuzhu was so angry when he heard the nonsense from the system. Of course he knew that he could not do anything about this natural disaster, but he was not just thinking about himself or his family, he was thinking about the millions of ordinary people in China.

Although he was just a commoner who traveled through time, he could not accept watching his compatriots go hungry and starve to death on this land, because he was a farmer's son!

Seeing that the system was unreliable, He Yuzhu had to find a solution on his own.

"By the way, System, let me ask you, are the upland rice and soybeans I exchanged from you strong in drought resistance?"

The reason why He Yuzhu asked this question is because it concerns the survival of thousands of people, and also concerns his subsequent response strategy.

[Ding, replying to the host, regarding this issue, please rest assured that these two crops have been specially strengthened and are very resistant to cold and waterlogging. They only need one-third of the water of ordinary upland rice to survive.]

He Yuzhu secretly breathed a sigh of relief after hearing the system's reply.

You know, this is related to the sowing in early spring next year and the harvest in autumn next year.

At least He Yuzhu could accept this answer.

Then he immediately ordered someone to find Yuan Hao.

After receiving the notice, Yuan Hao rushed to the office of the county party secretary as soon as possible.

"Secretary He, you're looking for me?"

He Yuzhu nodded.

"Xiao Yuan, you came at the right time, I do have something to talk to you about.

It's like this. Yang Ming, the village chief of Yangjiagou, gave me a very important piece of information. That is, the water sources in their Meishan area have started to dry up recently. You should dispatch people to the various water sources in Andong County to check the situation. Please confirm it for me. This matter is of great importance and must be investigated quickly."

Upon hearing this, Yuan Hao nodded.

"Okay, Secretary He, I'll do it right away."

The next day, Yuan Hao appeared in the county party secretary's office.

When He Yuzhu saw him coming, he knew that the matter should have an investigation result, so he took the initiative to ask,

"How's it going? Xiao Yuan, is there any progress?"

Yuan Hao nodded.

"In response to Secretary He, after a day of investigation, I and the staff of the Intelligence Department found that it was just as you said. The flow of water sources in Andong County seemed to have decreased for no reason. Although it does not have much impact on people's livelihood, this phenomenon is indeed very rare. According to the description of local people, this is a rare situation in the past 1 years."

When He Yuzhu heard what Yuan Hao said, he realized that the drought had begun. This was a sign of what was about to happen, and it also proved that what Yang Ming said was true.

To do this, he had to think of a foolproof plan. After all, it was useless for him to know about the drought. The key was to let the leaders above know.
