While directing the spread of public opinion through the video, Yu Yu was also deeply concerned about the Henan famine.
Besides growing potatoes as her staple food, she quickly learned from her senior classmates in the agricultural college and even traded some vegetable seeds for Qin Lizhi.
Water spinach, bok choy, and other leafy greens have a very short growing cycle. If they grow well, they will quickly sprout leaves, which can then be harvested and eaten by the refugees.
In addition, she also obtained some vegetable seeds. These fruits and vegetables have a slightly longer growing cycle, but they can be harvested continuously after they grow and quickly become a source of food.
Each type of seed had a detailed planting tutorial, printed out and sent to Qin Lizhi.
Under Yu Yu's close supervision, finally, on the fifth day after they began digging the deep well, water was struck at the exact location shown on the exploration map provided by Yu Yu.
The moment the water appeared, everyone who heard it erupted in excitement. They dropped their iron bars and picks and rushed toward the surging crowd toward the newly dug well!
"It's really coming out of the water?"
"My God, if the water really comes out, then the villages around us are saved!"
"Yes, yes, yes! As long as the irrigation canals are built, we won't have to worry about not being able to grow food! We won't have to eat disaster relief food anymore; we can grow our own food!"
The farmers who were speaking all had hot tears welling up in their eyes.
After months of drought, water finally appeared! No one could describe the ecstasy they felt at that moment; it was as if life had found a purpose, and a warm current surged through everyone's hearts.
When they got closer, before they saw water, they saw damp mud from the well, covered with all sorts of footprints, and many people's clothes were even covered with mud spots.
But the farmers felt that there was no more beautiful picture in the world. As long as there was water, their village's crops could grow back from the land.
As long as the crops grow well, these people who depend on the land for their livelihood will not die!
It's unclear who first arrived at the deep well, but as soon as the windlass was installed, several pairs of hands began to work together, suspending the wooden bucket on the hemp rope and lowering it little by little.
The clear, crisp sound of the water was particularly pleasant.
After several burly men brought the buckets up, one of them was still covered in mud, and the murky orange-yellow water was poured up.
"water!"
"Water really came out!"
I don’t know who said it.
Then countless hands reached out, scooping up the murky water. The trembling hands formed bowl shapes, and under the watchful eyes of the crowd, a finger poked at it, then put it in its mouth and tasted it.
He then spat it out, exclaiming, "So much mud!"
Upon closer inspection, the speaker turned out to be a child.
The onlookers laughed. "Hey kid, this well water is still murky from the first draw. It'll settle in a few days."
The kid scratched the back of his head and smiled sheepishly.
When the news of the well being found spread, everyone was excited. The news spread like wildfire, reaching far and wide.
Wang Zhenwu and the others who were digging the irrigation ditch naturally heard the news. It was already evening when they heard the news. Wang Zhenwu held the rice bowls provided for the strong laborers in his palm, and spat on the ground with a gloomy expression.
"I didn't expect that this kid would actually beat us so badly. This won't do. We have to find a way to teach him a lesson. Otherwise, if he really wins over the hearts of the people, his Jinsan Brigade regime will become even more secure."
"Captain, do you have any good ideas now?"
Some people fawned over them.
Wang Zhenwu whispered in his ear.
After news of the successful drilling of the first well came out, Qin Lizhi immediately ordered his adjutant Zhang to take the potatoes that had already sprouted to Renshui Village.
The next day, when people arrived at the well, Zhang, the adjutant, had already led the soldiers to cut potatoes into chunks.
"Lieutenant Zhang, what are you doing? Are you planning to plant potatoes in this wasteland?"
Lieutenant Zhang nodded, "That's right, this is a method that the young marshal has been researching for a long time. These potatoes have a short growth cycle and can be harvested quickly, so the people won't go hungry."
The villagers' eyes welled up with tears upon hearing the news.
I've seen quite a few warlords, but I've never seen one who truly cares about the people and puts their concerns into practice.
After a brief moment of shock, the villagers quickly came to their senses.
They fetched water and irrigated the fields, making them soft and moist, so that it would be easier to dig holes and plant the potato tubers.
However, this method is still too inefficient.
Despite working all day, the group only managed to plant about fifty acres of land.
That evening, Zhang, the adjutant, reported the news to Qin Lizhi.
As luck would have it, Qin Lizhi was video chatting with Yu Yu when Zhang, the adjutant, inadvertently looked up and saw the goddess from before.
After not seeing her for many days, the goddess has become even more beautiful. She has fair skin, bright eyes, and long, black hair that falls smoothly over her shoulders. Her delicate and pretty cheeks are plump and radiant, just like the ladies in the calendar.
His face turned bright red after just one glance.
He then reported the current difficulties to Qin Lizhi.
Upon hearing this, Yu Yu's sweet voice pierced through my eardrums.
"Qin Lizhi, I can trade you a batch of water pumps. These water pumps are especially useful for irrigating farmland. Each one costs only a few hundred yuan. They can pump water from low-lying and distant locations to the places that need irrigation, which can greatly save manpower. However, this requires a high-power generator."
"I'll trade you the necessary water pipes and generator; you'll need to give me plenty of gold and silver."
"By the way, the generator needs diesel. I can't buy that much right now, but you can check the military supplies captured from Japan. There should be some diesel there."
“I will go abroad in a while. Once I go abroad, the scope of my purchases will expand accordingly. At that time, we will not be subject to too many restrictions on what we trade.”
"it is good."
Qin Lizhi's feelings at this moment were extremely complicated.
For him now, Yu Yu is more like a timely rain. No matter what difficulties he encounters, Yu Yu, who is in the future, can always come up with various solutions for him.
This has led to him having extremely complicated feelings.
He wanted to say thank you, but felt that saying thank you was too general and not enough to express even a fraction of his gratitude.
In addition to gratitude, he also developed other feelings for her.
Staring into those clear, deer-like eyes, his Adam's apple bobbed slightly. "Thank you, Yu Yu."
