Koi baby helps his mother farm and becomes the richest man
Chapter 22: Surprise
Just as Qin Ying guessed, Zhou Yu got up early and led people to dig the canal as usual, and sent someone to the nearest village to call for help.
It was not until almost noon that the skeleton-like villagers began to arrive listlessly.
But when they smelled the long-lost aroma of food, they immediately burst out with potential beyond their physical limits and ran at full speed.
Aunt Zhong’s stove is at the end of the canal.
Three large pots of various fresh and dry vegetables, along with a small amount of grains, were cooked. Two buckets of warm water were also prepared.
The villagers held the vegetable porridge, mixed with tears, and devoured it voraciously.
After eating and drinking, Zhou Yu sent someone to take them to see a well with plenty of water.
These people all knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Zhou Yu and others, tears of gratitude streaming down their faces.
Zhou Yu ordered his men to help him up, "Hurry back and call for help. Let's dig a channel and divert the water down the mountain so that it will be easier to get water later.
"The county will be distributing a batch of grain in the next few days. You can save some for seeds. With water, the land will not be barren next year, and everyone's life will gradually get better."
Everyone kowtowed again to express their gratitude, hurried down the mountain to inform the neighbors, and brought back buckets to fetch water.
The master said it well, but who knows when the well will run dry? Whether it's food or drink, it's better to hold it in your own hands.
Zhou Yu watched but did not stop it.
After the villagers had carried water once, he asked someone to guard the well and made it clear that they could only carry water after digging a canal. Without digging a canal, they would no longer be able to carry water.
As for food, each person is limited to one bowl, and those who have eaten before cannot get another.
Many people still wanted to gain some benefits for themselves, but Zhou Yu gave them a look and the sharp blades of his entourage scared them out of their wits, and they all went to dig the canal obediently.
Zhou Yu said coldly: "If you don't know how to be grateful and only know how to take, you will end up with nothing."
Later, he taught a few troublemakers a lesson: they did twice as much work, but only received one bowl of water every day.
Killing the chicken will naturally scare the monkey, and no one will dare to cause trouble anymore.
After such a comparison, Zhou Yu couldn't help but sigh: "The people of Tongshu Village are still simple and honest."
In fact, most villagers are willing to work hard. After all, having water during drought years means having hope of survival.
So they worked hard to dig the canal. When they were hungry, they would ask for water to drink and drink until they were full. They would not stop to rest until the second half of the night.
When these people finished their work, they were given a few walnut kernels and a small bag of vegetable seeds.
When An An woke up the next day, he found that he had an extra energy value of 1, and he couldn't help but smile happily.
I turned on the surveillance camera and took a look. Wow, it's incredible. It's true that "there is strength in numbers". Yesterday, in half a day and half a night, they dug the canal to ten miles long and the depth was also considerable.
Help them again.
She cast several koi bonuses, and although most of them dissipated, the ones that remained still benefited the villagers a lot.
We dug until almost noon and finally reached the location of the previously planned pool.
Most of the people were left to dig the reservoir, and the rest were left to repair and improve the canals.
In this way, after three days of digging, the ditch connecting the well and the reservoir was completed, with a total length of seventeen miles.
The reservoir is ten meters square and nearly two meters deep. It is designed with a slope to prevent people from drowning.
Only then did Zhou Yu order people to clear the hole connecting the well to the canal.
The well water gurgles into the canal through the outlet dug under the well platform.
Due to the prolonged drought, a large part of the water seeped into the bottom of the canal and took a full day to slowly flow into the reservoir.
This is also something that cannot be done.
But this was enough to make the people cheer and kneel down to thank Zhou Yu.
Zhou Yu also relaxed the water collection policy.
At the same time, the county government's grain distribution convoy also arrived at the village at the foot of the mountain.
Zhou Yu found Qin Ying and said apologetically, "Because you guys in Tongshu Village have already solved the problem of food and clothing, we didn't leave any grain for you this time. We will give priority to those who are about to starve to death."
Qin Ying was startled, "You don't have to tell me this!"
"It's what I should say," Zhou Yu said sincerely, "Logically speaking, you guys have been a great help, so I should give you more preferential treatment..."
"We understand!" Qin Ying waved her hands quickly, "I believe that if our village is the same as other places, you will definitely not treat us unfairly.
"As for helping, for us, it's also a good deed, and it's what we deserve."
Zhou Yu looked at An An's fair and cute face and said softly, "There is nothing in this world that should or should not be done.
“The fact that you are willing to stand up at this time shows that you are outstanding people.
"It's just an extraordinary period, and I can't offer anything decent as a thank you.
"However, it is still possible to allocate some fine food for An An."
Ding! Energy +0.02!
An An suddenly opened her eyes wide, she understood!
Normally, the energy value of love alone is only 0.01. If the mother doesn't show any special love, there will be no energy increase, but she gained 0.02! All from the handsome uncle!
In other words, when my mother is with the handsome uncle, she can gain more energy!
Wow, good things, good things!
Her eyes rolled around, she had to think of a way to lock these two people together!
It is currently known that the handsome uncle is unmarried and his mother is a widow, so they can be a couple, right?
Qin Ying suddenly felt a chill on her back, as if something was staring at her. She turned her head and looked back. Behind her were barren mountains and dead trees, nothing at all.
At the same time, An An stretched out her chubby little hands towards Zhou Yu again, smiling and asking for a hug.
Zhou Yu naturally didn't want to refuse, so after getting Qin Ying's consent, he held her in his arms.
The nearby villages obtained water and were distributed grain. The people's hearts were settled and they spontaneously elected people to take charge. Production and life gradually progressed steadily.
Zhou Yu felt relieved and prepared to take people to find the next water source.
Qin Ying and Zhao Hu asked him to let them go back to the village because the autumn harvest was about to begin.
Zhou Yu naturally agreed and returned to Tongshutun with them.
The threshing ground in Tongshu Village had been cleaned up long ago, and the tasks of each household had been assigned: those who were not very strong were responsible for breaking the corn and cutting down the straw, the strong laborers were responsible for harvesting the millet and beans, and carrying the corn in baskets to the threshing ground; those who had less labor were responsible for picking up corn ears and beans in the fields and tying up the cut corn stalks.
Zhou Yu and others immediately joined in.
With their help, it only took Tongshu Village three days to transfer all the grain to the threshing ground. The rest was threshing, drying and distribution.
Zhou Yu and others were not idle and went to the surrounding villages to help.
When they came back after finishing their work, the distribution in Tongshutun had already been completed.
Each person received more than 120 kilograms of food, not including the unharvested cabbage, radishes, etc.
The whole village was filled with joy.
Uncle Chen Jiu was even very generous and wanted to treat Zhou Yu and others to a meal.
Zhou Yu refused. He carefully looked at the grain harvested in Tongshu Village. Although it was not as good as the ones Qin Ying and others had obtained accidentally, it was much better than that of other villages.
