Quick wear is not a cannon fodder

The old couple have been eating well recently and are growing well. They feel idle and bored. After all, after they are well, they can't plant in this field. The child is not a baby. Just watch it and there is no need for a special area. Although this day was free, it was just too boring. Now that An Ran found something for them to do, they were naturally willing to do it. So when they heard what An Ran said, they hurriedly promised: "We will definitely help you find something good, and it will be done soon." You can find it.”

An Ran smiled and said, "Okay, then thank you, parents."

Sure enough, An Ran found the right person. The old couple came forward, and they heard that they would be given food. Soon, many people in Pingyuan Town were willing to join in building the wall.

Although many people in Pingyuan Town are no longer at home. Some people started riots and some fled, but only a small part of them stayed.

This small group of people who have not left are either the family members of those who took part in the uprising, or they are the old, weak, sick and disabled. Basically, there is no way to help. Only a very small part of them are unable to leave their hometown and do not want to leave their hometown. These people become The person Enron desperately wanted to recruit.

The closer one is to his hometown, the less he wants anything to happen to his hometown, so when he hears about building a wall, he becomes more active.

It’s just that there are too few of these people.

The population in this era was small, with only a few thousand people in a town. The plains were large towns with about five to six thousand people.

Among the people who are unable to leave their homeland, there are only two or three hundred young and strong people. Basically, these people have come over and gathered some of the family members of the people who caused the incident. After all, the so-called family members do not mean that all the adult males in the family have gone. There were some who didn't go, and some who didn't go, as well as the surrounding towns. I heard that if they were willing to work here, they would be provided with food, so we gathered about 500 people.

This was enough. Five hundred people started working together and soon a bastion surrounding the entire town could be built.

And the first batch of bricks An Ran looked for also had a way out - there was a kiln built before the drought. A lot of bricks were burned at that time. Then the drought hit and people couldn't eat enough. Who would build a house? It was left there, and An Ran exchanged it for some food.

With this alone, five hundred people working together to build the wall would naturally not be enough, so An Ran had already contacted several small kilns nearby and asked them to help continue the burning.

Baking bricks also requires a lot of water, but fortunately those people are willing to take on this job for the sake of food - they are going to fetch water from wells with water to burn.

With bricks and people, the construction of this bastion will go smoothly. However, there is a lack of manpower now, so An Ran has to tell everyone in person how to build it.

However, Enron has begun to use food from the entire town to recruit people who can read, and has begun to teach children who are willing to read. At any time, education must be completed quickly, otherwise there will be no talent available.

Because lunch is provided, every family is willing to send their children to school, including girls. Anyway, there is a severe drought and there are not many housework to do at home. Why not let them come over to have a meal.

Although in this age when there is no food, it is easier to do things if there is food, but she cannot continue to provide food. After all, as time goes by, her power is getting stronger and stronger. Relying on one's own supplements can easily lead to dependence, thinking that one can have food without farming, which is not good, so the key is to obtain food oneself.

But now, there is a drought in the local area. No matter where the food comes from, it is impossible to grow it. Not to mention it rains here, even the rivers have dried up. Everyone can only find some water from deep wells to eat. Wherever the water comes from, it is difficult to grow the land. The mission in the extremely arid world is almost the same.

There is no drought in the south and there is food. However, now that the outside is in chaos, the food in the south cannot get through, so An Ran really has to think about how to get food.

Fortunately, she had practiced martial arts, and everyone was quite afraid of the old god who could provide food. In addition, they were also a little afraid of the original husband, so even if they knew she had food, no one from all over the country would know that she had food. Dare to do anything to her, just because she uses the food in her hands to find people to do things, no one dares to rob her.

Regarding food, if she has a large number of people on hand now, she can "borrow" some food from a nearby bandit den with a bad reputation. After all, no matter how bad the conditions are, there should be some food in the bandit den, but now she can't even patrol The team hasn't been built yet - this will be built sooner or later, but now all the young men in the area are building forts, and there is no manpower to build patrols, so we can only look back and sigh.

Alas, there are still fewer people and not enough people, otherwise many things could have been done long ago.

After much deliberation, An Ran couldn't help but talk about this matter to Mrs. Li and Old Man Li. One person was trying to figure out the shortcomings, and the other two were thinking about the advantages.

So An Ran said at that moment: "The old god said, teach me how to do things, and he will leave. Then there will be no food. Then how can I feed these people and protect our hometown? Parents, do you know what's coming? Place or method of food?”

Naturally, she couldn't say that she couldn't always provide food, and she only talked about the white-bearded old man.

When Mrs. Li heard An Ran's question about food, she couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "Silly boy, if there is a place where food comes from, will Xiu'er go out to rebel?"

An Ran thought so, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Old Man Li said: "You don't have to worry. When the gods leave, it might rain. Then there will be food for planting."

An Ran secretly thought, it will be three years later.

Why did the original husband lose the war? On the one hand, he could not defeat the court. On the other hand, the weather returned to normal three years later, and he could farm and have food. In addition, the war was not going well, and people were afraid that they would die if they failed. , On the contrary, if you don’t starve to death when you go back, you can pay more for the excessive taxes and miscellaneous taxes. At least no one will die. In this case, the situation is favorable to the court and unfavorable to the rebels, causing many people to go back to farm and not fight. .

So An Ran asked immediately: "Is it convenient to dig a deep well? Is there any use if I ask someone to dig a deep well?"

I just don’t know where the groundwater is rich nearby. Anyway, the village where I live must not be rich in groundwater, because the few wells are no longer producing water. I heard that they were dug deep after the drought and there is no water. This means that there is no water. There is no rich underground water system below, and it has long since dried up after a prolonged drought.

That's right. If it were useful, people wouldn't be unable to survive and would have dug many deep wells.

"Drilling a deep well is inconvenient and expensive, but if you have food, I guess you can get it, but our village may not have water, and it will be in vain if you dig it. If you really want to dig it, you may have to go to the town to dig it. Now that hole is still available I don't know if another well can be opened near a well that can produce water," Old Man Li said.

An Ran couldn't help but feel disappointed after hearing this. If we can't dig many wells in the village, what's the use of only opening a few wells? At most, everyone's water supply will be more relaxed, and there is no hope for farming.

To reach the level of farming, at least every household must have a well that can release water, but even thinking about it, I know this is unrealistic.

This road is blocked, and An Ran has no way to get food for the time being, so he can only think about it again.
