Yan Yunge did not rush back to the capital.

Drought, water shortage.

The rivers are cut off and farming is damaged.

The harvest this year is destined to be miserable.

Yan Yunge walked into the fields for a long time, and was desperate deep in his heart.

Crops have reduced yields or even lost harvests, everything is destined.

Even if there are a few heavy rains, the damaged crops cannot be saved.

Too late!

There is only one or two months left before the autumn harvest.

In the south, the autumn harvest is earlier than that in the capital, and it is probably very miserable.

Fortunately, Jiping drove away nearly 10,000 refugees, greatly alleviating the pressure on the village's food, drinking water and land.

This year, the drought has not been opened up, and there are so many people in the villa, just finding work for refugees is a big problem.

If you don’t have work, you won’t have food.

In addition, it would be strange if the refugees don’t cause trouble.

Nowadays, the pressure on the villa has dropped sharply. Not to mention Yan Yunge, even Yan Sui himself breathed a sigh of relief.

Don’t worry about not having enough food or drinking enough water. It’s really wonderful.

Yan Yunge asked Yan Sui: "Is it effective to dig a well?"

Yan Sui's expression was bitter, "In the past, when he dug a well, he could see water at most seven or eight battles. Now, even if he fights twenty battles underground, there may not be water."

Yan Yunge nodded, "The riverbed is dry, the water level is lowered, and the well cannot produce water. It is normal. A well that can still produce water normally must be sent to protect it and draw water in batches and times. This year, everyone is counting on the well to survive and livestock must drink water. If the well is scrapped, the consequences will be unimaginable."

Yan Sui bowed to accept the order.

The villa has a large territory and always has a few wells with extraordinary talents, which can produce water normally during drought years.

Such a well is a treasure, so it should be protected.

The crops were confiscated this year, and it is estimated that only 30% to 50% of the harvest in previous years.

This little food is really not enough to eat.

The key is that Yan Yunge still owes debts.

The debts of Shaofu have not been settled yet.

The scumbag father Yan Shouzhan was still counting on her food supply.

The villa itself also consumes a lot of food.

Yan Yunge also had a headache.

The only thing I am glad that the villa has stockpiled a little food and can still hold on.

Seeing the crops that became depressed due to drought and sun exposure, not only were they short and the rice ears were sparse, Yan Yunge was in no mood at all.

She decided to go to the ranch to take a look.

Planting grass is always easier than planting crops.

In recent years, the pasture has been expanding, with an area of ​​nearly 100 hectares.

From a distance, you can still see the green, which makes people feel happy.

If the crops are gone, can the grass be harvested this year?

When I got closer, I realized that she thought things too simple.

Forage is only a little better than crops.

However, it was still in a panic, and the land under the grass could be seen everywhere. There was only a thin layer of green.

With such a panic forage, Yan Yunge completely cut off hope.

She told the manager to Chang Gui, "I won't sell pasture this year, and I will hoard them all in the warehouse to keep them for the winter of their own livestock."

Chang Gui agreed.

Yan Yunge told him to rest assured, "The villa will pay the ranch according to the market price, so you don't have to worry about your income this year."

Chang Gui laughed, "It's still the boss who thinks carefully."

This year, Yan Yunge was in a bad mood and simply rode on his horse and galloped on the ranch.

She actually found someone stealing grass.

The ranch is too big to be taken care of everywhere.

There are always remote corners that are forgotten, so they are targeted.

She looked from a distance, and the person who stole the grass did not dare to blatantly. She found someone coming, picked up the forage bundles and ran away.

Seeing the appearance and speaking accent, there are refugees from other places who come to Beijing, as well as local villagers.

When Chang Gui faced this situation, he could only smile bitterly.

"I reported to the boss, around the ranch, there are people stealing grass all year round, and I can't control it. I drove them away, and as soon as I left, they came out from all directions."

Yan Yunge understood, and she asked: "Does these people steal grass to feed their own livestock or sell it for money?"

Chang Gui said: "The refugees steal grass must be for the purpose of selling money. Local villagers steal grass mostly to feed their own livestock. The grass grown on our ranch is of high quality, and all livestock and horses like to eat it. After eating it, they are several grades higher than the grass harvested by farmers in the fields."

Yan Yunge asked, "Will you drive them away from time to time?"

Chang Gui hurriedly said, "As long as you see it, you must drive it away. If you don't drive it away once, there will be exponential people coming to steal grass next time. No matter how big the pasture is, it will not withstand so many people stealing it every day."

Yan Yunge nodded, "It's time to drive it away! Don't let them take the responsibility of stealing grass, but you must drive it away once when you see it. There must be no tolerance and kindness in words."

"The boss said it right!"

There was nothing to see in the ranch, and Yan Yunge turned around and went to the mountain.

The situation in the mountains is much better.

The trees lock in water, and walking in the forest, you can feel a little wet.

There is mountain spring water, but the water flow is very small.

Made a water pipe with bamboo to guide the spring water down the mountain and collect it in the pool.

The ironworking workshop is in a semi-stop state, and only a small number of people are working normally.

Because of water shortage!

Water must be consumed first with people and animals, followed by farming, and finally processing and production.

Yan Yunge inspected the situation and the situation was not optimistic.

The most urgent thing is, where to get water?

There is water in the Wei River, but it is far away.

Unless she is willing to spend a lot of money to build a canal from the Wei River.

This project is too large.

Unless the court comes forward, organizes manpower to build a canal.

Yan Yunge is worried!

The sun hangs in the sky, and there is no sign of rain.

She called all the managers to have a meeting in the signing room.

"The water shortage problem is getting worse. Is there any way to alleviate it? Everyone can speak freely."

At the beginning, everyone was silent.

Later, the plan was flattened and everyone started to discuss it.

In fact, everyone has no good idea.

Useful method, in use.

For example, water restrictions!

Build ditches and ponds to store water.

Dispose of poultry and livestock and keep only a part of it.

Reduce work and do not work in the sun. People need more than half of the drinking water every day.

The most effective way is to disperse all refugees living in the villa.

This is the method proposed by Ji Ping.

He is always the most vicious one.

Yan Sui opposed it, and he told Ji Ping, "So many refugees, they not only open up land, but also rent land in the villa. Speaking of which, they are all tenants in our villa. The crops have not been collected back to the warehouse, so how can they drive out the tenants?"
