The Nirvana of Foreign Girls

Xie Lengyun stuck her head out of the car window and looked at the field, the field where wheat was originally planted is now planted with soybeans, sorghum millet and other crops, and the seedlings have grown to the height of her knees, but because it has not rained for a long time, the leaves are curled up, and she looks depressed.

Looking at the paddy fields on the north side of the road, although they are verdant and green, the water in the fields is very shallow, and there are many places where the soil is exposed.

Xie Lengyun looked at the sun that had just risen, but was already white, and couldn't help frowning.

In such a drought, if it does not rain for half a month, the seedlings will die...... A failure or reduction in production is a foregone conclusion.

I don't know what happened to Mingzhou. Thinking of this, my heart was even more anxious, and I urged Xiao Li to leave quickly. Xie Lengyun listened to the severe drought in Mingzhou. Deeply remorseful, he stopped his travels. Rushed to Mingzhou through thick and thin.

Yun Hao official said, "Mr. Xie has traveled all the way, and he must have known that the drought in the central part of Mingzhou and several counties north of the west is very serious, right? Listening to the people who came back from there, in the area of Qi County, most of the grass seedlings have died, the ground has cracked, the water in the river ponds has also bottomed out, and some shallow wells have dried up, Mr. Xie, is this true? These rumors are not false?" Xie Lengyun thought of the listless seedlings in the dry land, and nodded, "Nine times out of ten it is true." "

A leader sighed and said: "Qi County and Zhou County, these two places, there is a major drought in five years and a small drought in three years, and when I was young, it was because of the great drought that I fled to the central ......city with my family."

Xie Lengyun suddenly came to his senses, "Yes, this tribal leader's hometown is from Qi County. I forgot about it for a moment. Do you remember that time?"

The tribal leader smiled, "At that time, I was young, I can't remember a lot, but I remember that everywhere was white, and the crops in the fields were scorched and scorched. "

Xie Lengyun soothed: "The tribal leader is not worried so much, now that the summer grain has just been harvested, every household must have grain in stock, and it may be able to withstand it for a while...... After a rainy day, you can plant some crops with a short growth period, and the famine will pass ......

."

Standing on the north-south transparent avenue, he glanced around, and with only this one glance, he was fixed. The sparkling waves under the seedlings reflect the sun's rays, which shows that there is no shortage of water in this land for the time being.

A heart put in the stomach, the peasants who had already rested under the green shade of the bamboo frame saw her, quickly got up, greeted her warmly, Xie Lengyun slowly walked on the green brick road, responded with a smile, looked up, the dense branches and leaves completely covered the midsummer sun, and there were courgettes, loofahs, and beans hanging between the thick green branches and leaves, which were very gratifying, and couldn't help laughing.

Xie Lengyun sighed and looked at the white sun outside, "Zhang, I always have a bad premonition,...... I'm afraid this Mingzhou won't be able to escape this drought. "

Leader Zhang nodded, "I have asked Yun Hao to organize manpower and start to help the people fight the drought, since you said it last time, I have carefully read the reports in the past few days, the drought is indeed spreading from north to south, and there have been disaster victims in Qi County, Zhou County and other places, however, Tian Biao and Wang Lin have asked the above for instructions, please allocate disaster relief food ...... as soon as possible

."

Xie Lengyun sighed again at the white sun, "I heard Chen Jin say that someone in the upstream intercepted water for irrigation, and I was still skeptical, the river surface is so wide, how can it be intercepted, but in the past few days, the river water level has not risen, according to such a big day, within ten days, the paddy field will become a dry field......

."

Leader Zhang also sighed, "...... I'm just worried that the response is too slow and the best time for disaster relief will be missed, and the victims will be scattered, displaced, or even become displaced people

Xie Lengyun sighed softly again, "...... According to Chen Jin, the price of grain is now more than double that of previous years, and the price of grain is almost one price a day, which shows the seriousness of the drought ......

."

Leader Zhang also sighed lightly, "There is not much grain stored in the grain depot, if a large number of displaced people come, will the gate of this city be wide open or closed?"

After he said this, Xie Lengyun suddenly turned his head to look at him, and after a while, he laughed, and the two of them chatted for a long time with such answers, but they actually said their own things.

Leader Zhang also chuckled and said to her: "Don't worry, Xiao Li has already led people to Dengxian County to negotiate the interception of the river, presumably he should come back today." After a pause, he smiled and said, "I'm also worrying about it, this disaster relief is the duty of the agricultural officer, and they should be worried." "

Xie Lengyun nodded, very glad in his heart, he had not sold a single grain of more than 16,000 catties of summer grain he had received before, and when he encountered such a famine year, at least he didn't have to worry about his own people being hungry.

While the two were talking, the leader replied outside, "Xiao Li is here." "

didn't wait for the answer inside, the door curtain moved, Xiao Li flashed in a strong suit, his face was sweaty, and the clothes on his shoulders were soaked with sweat, and they were dark black.

The leader then entered the door, poured tea, put it in front of Xiao Li's desk, and quietly retreated.

Xie Lengyun had never seen such an embarrassed Xiao Li, so he quickly stood up and said with a smile: "I just said Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here." Did the trip go well?".

Xiao Li took a handkerchief to wipe away the sweat, and smiled bitterly at Leader Zhang and Xie Lengyun: "This trip is a ...... for nothing

."

“...... The peasant official in Qi County was really mixed up, Zhou County intercepted their water, and they came to intercept the water here, and I argued with him for a long time, and he only had one sentence: If I can ask the people of Zhou County to release water, he will release water ...... for us

."

Leader Zhang chuckled: "...... And that's how you came back?".

Xiao Li raised his eyebrows unhappily, "That's not my style of doing things." I didn't rush to Zhou County, and the agricultural officials of Zhou County were even more bastards, saying that they only intercepted the water in the upper county, not here, and that if they wanted water, it would be ...... to let the upstream county open the floodgates."

Xie Lengyun felt funny, but also a little helpless, and looked at Xiao Li, "Then what is Master Li going to do?"

Xiao Li grabbed the folding fan on the table and fanned it a few times, and closed the fan with a "snap": "Even if everyone intercepts it, why don't I intercept it? Tomorrow I will ask someone to go downstream to build a dam, and we will also intercept the water to ......."

Leader Zhang raised his eyebrows, "The river runs from the mountains to the east to the river, and it is all our land here, where do you want to build the dam?"

To build, it can only be built at the mouth of the river.

Xiao Li picked his eyes, "Protecting one side is one side, where can I take care of so much?" Also, tomorrow you send me more manpower, I will go to pick up the dam ...... in Qi County."

Leader Zhang raised his eyebrows again, "I'm afraid that if I dare to lend it to you, you won't dare to go." This thing seems small, but it can cause a big mess, do you really want to go to Qi County to have a hard time?".

Xie Lengyun saw that they had built one dam at a time, one with two big heads. Quickly pulled down the two of them, recruited officials and tribal leaders, and several people discussed calmly around the drought.

Several people discussed the causes of drought: Drought refers to agrometeorological disasters in which there is no or no rain for a long time, resulting in insufficient soil moisture and damage to crop water balance, resulting in reduced yields. It can be divided into three types: soil drought, atmospheric drought and physiological drought.

Soil drought is caused by a lack of water in the soil, and the plant roots do not absorb enough water to compensate for the depletion of transpiration. Atmospheric drought is a hazard caused by the drying of moisture in the air, often accompanied by a certain amount of wind, and although the soil is not short of water, due to strong transpiration, the water supply to the plants is insufficient.

Physiological drought is the damage caused by poor soil environmental conditions that hinder the physiological processes of crops, leading to imbalance of plant water balance. Such undesirable conditions include high and low soil temperatures, poor soil aeration, high concentration of soil solutions, and the accumulation of certain toxic chemicals in the soil.

The degree of drought damage to crops is related to the season in which it occurs, the type and variety of crops, and the growth period.

Spring drought affects spring sowing, or causes lack of seedlings and broken ridges of spring-sown crops, and affects the normal growth of overwintering crops.

The autumn drought affects the yield of autumn crops and the sowing of overwintering crops.

Both the drought and the autumn drought will cause the soil to lack the bottom moisture and exacerbate the spring drought of the following year.

The precipitation in Mingzhou is mainly due to the water vapour transported by the southeast monsoon in the Pacific Ocean and the southwest monsoon in the Indian Ocean. From the perspective of spatial pattern, precipitation gradually decreased from the southeast coast to the northwest inland. At the 400 mm isoprecipitation line, bounded by this line, semi-humid areas are sub-humid to the southeast and semi-arid areas to the northwest with little or no monsoon. The farmland in the northern part of Mingzhou is mainly dry land, and the grain crops are mainly wheat.

Solutions to the drought:

1. Build water conservancy and develop farmland irrigation

2. Improve the farming system, change the composition of crops, select drought-tolerant varieties, and make full use of the limited rainfall

3. Afforestation, improve regional climate, reduce evaporation, and reduce the harm of drought winds

4. Take a multi-pronged approach to prevent and control soil erosion;

5. Study the application of modern technologies and water-saving measures, such as artificial rainfall, sprinkler and drip irrigation, plastic film mulching, moisture conservation, and temporary use of poor quality water sources, including low-quality groundwater and seawater.

Xie Lengyun looked at the causes of these droughts and all the methods, and fell into deep contemplation.
