Bracelet space through the past and present? Take it

"Why are you here?"

This was the first time Zhou Lingling saw Xiao Yan wearing armor.

The handsome face has a solemn look, which makes people feel intimidated.

Sure enough, good-looking people look good even if they wear a sack...

Seeing the little girl staring at him blankly from the moment she entered the tent, not even responding to his questions, Xiao Yan laughed out of anger.

"boom"

He casually threw the military newspaper in his hand onto the table, then Xiao Yan leaned back and looked at the person standing in front of him with a leisurely expression.

Zhou Lingling was startled back to her senses by the sound: "Um? Good morning, have you eaten?"

The two looked at each other in silence for a long time.

Zhou Lingling's eyes flickered. Was her infatuation too obvious just now?

at last,

An excited voice sounded.

"Sister! Why are you here?"

It was Zhou Yun who opened the tent and came in.

"General!"

He bowed respectfully to Xiao Yan.

Here, there is no Brother Xiao, only the supreme commander of the Northern Army.

Xiao Yan nodded lightly.

"You don't have to attend training today. Just follow your sister."

Zhou Yun was delighted and agreed immediately.

On the contrary, Zhou Lingling felt a little embarrassed: "Well, I just wanted to go to the land you gave me to check out the situation. Uncle Tie and the others said it's not far from here, so I came in to say hello."

"Brother, if you have something to do, go and do it yourself. Uncle Tie and the others will take me there anyway."

Zhou Yun patted his chest and said, "It's okay, sister. I'm done with my training today. None of those guys can beat me. I'll go with you."

Looking at the second brother's bold and proud expression, it can be seen that he is very comfortable in the army.

Zhou Lingling couldn't help but smile.

"Okay, second brother, I just brought you some food from Uncle Tie's place. You can share it with your friends..."

"What can we share with them? They eat everything and nothing is left. They can't do anything..."

Zhou Yun wrinkled his nose and muttered some of Chen's classic quotes.

Having said that, Zhou Yun still turned around and went out to find Uncle Tie and the others to get his things.

After Zhou Yun left, Zhou Lingling said to Xiao Yan, "Then you're busy. I'm leaving too. It gets dark early in the winter..."

Xiao Yan stood up and walked her out: "Well, I have to go to the Snow Plain tomorrow and my return date is uncertain. If you have anything, you can go directly to the military advisor."

"Going to the snowfield?"

Zhou Lingling was a little surprised.

Xiao Yan nodded. "A few days ago, the indigenous people of the snowfield, the Mulin tribe, sent someone for help. They said they had encountered a once-in-a-century avalanche, and the entire tribe was submerged."

"Some time ago, the Northern Barbarians came from the Snow Plains. My military advisor and I speculate that there may be other reasons for this, so I plan to go and see for myself."

Zhou Lingling nodded thoughtfully.

After arriving in the northern border, Zhou Lingling found that the place was not as chaotic as she had imagined.

Even though they saw so many refugees in the south, the northern border was a peaceful scene of people living and working in peace and contentment.

On the contrary, before they arrived at the northern border, they heard that there had been several incidents of refugees attacking granaries in the southern region, but the imperial court had no intention of providing disaster relief.

He also said that the South has been rich in resources and strong in territory since ancient times. This year is a year of drought, and the North is also unable to take care of itself, so it is unable to provide disaster relief. He asked the southern prefectures to find solutions on their own, and resolutely refused to allow refugees to cross the Yangtze River Delta.

Coincidentally, before the decree was issued to the local authorities, County Magistrate Du's report on the new grain arrived at the court.

The imperial court attached great importance to this matter and sent an imperial envoy to Yunlai Town to escort the new grain back to the capital.

The letter that County Magistrate Du wrote to Xiao Yan was filled with grief and regret.

At the end, he said that he had already discussed with the magistrates of several nearby counties that the imperial envoy could not reach Yunshui County at all, and the price was that half of the new grain had to be divided equally among these counties.

A few years ago, we received news that the twenty acres of new grain in the farm had been harvested. County Magistrate Du invited the magistrates of six counties and prestigious gentry from all over the country. Several hundred people attended a banquet at the farm, and the new grain from the farm was used.

Yunshui County and the six surrounding counties united together, and the people saw hope and protected the new grain closely.

It is almost the beginning of spring, and the climate in Yunshui County is mild, so spring planting should have started by now.

She had anticipated that the seeds in the farm would not be enough, so she left another 100,000 kilograms in two cellars and asked her uncle to hand them over to County Magistrate Du.

In this way, Yunshui County and its surroundings in this life should not be the same as in the previous life...

At least, nothing will happen to my grandparents' family.

Zhou Lingling and others came out of the military camp and came to a valley.

There are low hills on three sides of this place, which are bare and have no trees, only gravel. The valley surrounded by them is very large.

Tie Yuan said, "This is the land that the Chengbei Daying reclaimed themselves. Because nothing can grow on it, it has been abandoned for several years."

"This place is close to the military camp. The hillsides and valleys on both sides were also overgrown with weeds, so the military advisor chose this place.

But the wheat I planted did sprout and grow in the first year, but there was no harvest. In the second year, the seeds simply rotted in the ground, and in the third year, I gave up."

"We can only give the seeds to the people in the countryside, help them cultivate more wasteland, and distribute half of the food we grow to the military camp."

After hearing Tie Yuan's words, Zhou Lingling stared at the bare hilltop in silence for a long while...

She squatted down and reached out to grab a handful of dirt.

Yellow sand.

This type of soil contains a large amount of minerals, and is loose, breathable and water-permeable, but lacks organic matter, has a large evaporation rate and low water retention capacity.

So it is not suitable for growing wheat at all.

In fact, it is not suitable for growing potatoes.

More suitable for growing peanuts, flowers and fruit trees.

Zhou Lingling remained silent, walked a little further inside, squatted down and grabbed a handful of soil.

The humidity was slightly higher when I started, but it was still sandy overall.

Such soil and landforms are everywhere in northern Xinjiang.

Tie Yuan and Sang Lin followed her, listening to Sang Lin's complaints: "The general also said that the military advisor has bad luck. It's not just this place, but also the area behind the camp in the north of the city."

"Before it was cultivated, it was covered with weeds and some small trees. After the military advisor selected these two places, there was no grass growing here anymore."

Even if they gave up farming, no grass would grow in either place.

After hearing this, Zhou Lingling was amused but also stunned.

"You said this place used to be overgrown with weeds and small trees?"

Sang Lin and Tie Yuan both nodded.

"The grass is so tall that even a person who crawls into it can't be seen."

Zhou Lingling suddenly had a bold guess.

She climbed up the side of the hill and looked around.

"Fuguier, come out and work."

Fuguier's response was as quick as ever: "What are you doing, Master?"

Zhou Lingling: "Look at this area, is there a hidden river underneath?"

In her time, there was a very famous project in northern Xinjiang - the Karez.

The structure of the karez is generally composed of four parts: a vertical shaft, an underground channel, a surface channel and a "water dam".

In the spring and summer in northern Xinjiang, a large amount of snow and rainwater flows down the valleys and sinks into the Gobi Desert.

At that time, people took advantage of the slope of the mountain and cleverly created the karez, which diverted underground currents to irrigate farmland.

This type of well channel does not cause large amounts of water to evaporate due to heat or strong winds, so the flow rate is stable, ensuring gravity irrigation...
