There have been droughts for several days and are fighting drought everywhere.

The sun shines brightly. Although the sun is not as hot as in June and July, carrying a load of water to and from the fields and streams under the sun is also boring and hard.

Although the people of Guanzhong are hardworking, the drought resistance has also made everyone very tired.

Master Yang, the mountain leader of Lanxi Academy, walked in front with two large buckets of water on a shoulder pole, and the ten gentlemen in the academy followed each with a load of water. The first and second grade students carried a bucket of water behind.

Although gentlemen are literati, no one is lazy at this time.

The school’s labor day every ten days can no longer meet the drought resistance needs. Now the academy starts to pick up an hour of water every morning and evening to ensure the farmland and vegetable fields that the academy has opened up.

Although Li Xiao said several times, it was too dry this year, and the wasteland opened by the academy was far away from the stream, so it was abandoned. Let's see if we could plant it for another season in summer.

But although Yang Dayan and the others are scholars, they are also very simple. Li Xiao assigned a piece of wasteland from the Li family to the academy as a field. They had long said that they should be self-sufficient, so they should not be left behind at the moment.

After all, the entire Lanxi River has a severe drought, and countless people are fighting against drought, carrying water every day, which is just as hard.

This may be the simple concept of people in this era. Scholars are not just powerless, and scholars do not just eat but not work.

We carry water in the morning and evening, and ensure that we do not delay our studies. It is very hard to get up early and work in the middle of the night. Mr. Yang and the teachers' shoulders had already been worn out by their shoulders, but they tore off the broken skin at night, and the cloth on their shoulders continued in the morning.

The students were weak, so they only carried a bucket of two. Even though they were young, no one said a word, and no one would throw the bucket down.

Perhaps the students are already accustomed to the fact that there are many children from the farm and are not arrogant. In addition, the morning exercises and exercises during class every day after entering the academy have made these children much stronger. With the nutritional guarantee of the food, they are in good health.

A bucket of water was lifted to the ground, picked up the gourd and poured it down. The land that had already become white can make a slurry sound, and the water was directly absorbed and dried.

Water each morning and evening, but the land is still not as wet as it is.

There was no movement in the millet planted in the ground.

Thanks to the Township Good Hall organized by Li Xiao, at least although dams were built on all sections of Lanxi, they were no longer completely blocked like in previous years.

The Blue River is still flowing, and it has not stopped flowing. Even if the water is very small, it is the water of life. The flowing stream ensures the slight hope of the villages and fields downstream.

The ones carrying shoulders, carrying backs, and carrying them, whether they are the elderly, children, men or women, the whole nation has joined the army of drought resistance.

The drought is still going on, and the Township Qantang has held another council meeting. At the meeting, Li Xiao proposed that the drought is getting worse and less and less water in Lanxi, and proposed to take the initiative to reduce production by 20% again to ensure that there will be some rewards in the end.

This was a difficult decision.

It was also a painful decision.

We have worked hard for so long and carried water every day, but now we have to give up 20% of the land. Those lands have been in vain these days, and the seeds planted have become in vain.

But if you don’t give up, you can’t take care of it.

If you drag on it, not only will the 20% of it definitely not be able to save it, but it may even cause the remaining 30% to be delayed.

Perhaps it was because of Li Xiao's high prestige, or perhaps it was because everyone had already experienced a painful decision to reduce production. Although this decision was still painful, after the councillors conveyed the proposal back to various villages, the feedback was still gratifying.

Everyone basically agreed to reduce production.

Lanxi Township is very peaceful, and the drought here is still severe, but everyone has accepted it. This acceptance is not left to fate, but is standing firmly.

Stand up and stand up, when you are powerless, it is not to do nothing, but hold on. Maybe you don’t know when it will be, but you can hold on until the last moment, and maybe you can finally stand until the bright future.

The people of Guanzhong are full of resilience. They are like the weeds in the arid wilderness. Without water, they can still last for a long time.

However, the situation in other townships is not as harmonious as Lantian County.

County magistrate Liu Qing has been traveling around recently, vigorously promoting the township meeting hall, promoting the village convention, and promoting joint efforts to fight drought and disaster relief.

There are some results, but not much.

All regions are like Lanxi, and under the supervision of the county government, dams and dams are built at the inland rivers in the township, and only part of the water is intercepted. But in the first few days, but when the drought continues to be severe, slowly, dams and dams and dams everywhere are intercepting secretly.

Some villages only cut off a small part during the day, but at night they secretly raise the dam and even cut off all the water.

The villagers downstream refused and began to fight and argue, and even developed to forcibly destroying the dam.

The water fight began again. Although the township contract team in charge of the county government intervened in time, and the matter was not serious or the person died, the nature was very bad and the impact was bad.

The little trust of the villagers that the Township QRange Hall was finally built is losing.

When the county asked the townships to take the initiative to reduce production again, the implementation was not smooth. It was already reduced by half, but now it is time to reduce it again. Many people disagree. If the reduction is reduced, there will be no more acres of land. Especially many land, which have been watered for a long time.

Many people thought that if they could hold on, they might be able to last until the afternoon. They were unwilling to give up. County Magistrate Liu sent officials everywhere to persuade the people, but the effect was not obvious.

At the same time, the county's grain prices began to rise, and many grain shops have begun to sell in limited quantities, and wealthy landlords have also begun to hoard grain.

"If the drought continues like this, even if the 30% of the land after the production is reduced, I am afraid it will not be able to save it."

On the bank of Lanxi, Li Xiaoma is now following the leader of the people. Everyone looked at the less and less Lanxi water, and they all surrounded him, wanting to ask Li Xiao for a solution.

Li Xiao actually had no choice, although his corn had been harvested.

But even if you are still rushing to plant it, you can’t even plant acre of seven corn. Even if you plant this acre of corn, you will only produce a thousand kilograms of yield.

If a thousand kilogram of corn is used as autumn seeds, it can plant three to four hundred acres of land, but for now, it cannot relieve incomprehensible thirst.

"We cannot relax our drought prevention, but we have to start thinking about the food rations in summer." Li Xiaoyu said earnestly to the righteous way of the few people.

The Li family and several of them are both landlords and have a certain amount of food storage at home, but many people actually don’t have much food at home. If the summer harvest is normal, then there will be food after the summer harvest, but if the summer harvest is not enough, everyone will definitely not be able to hold on.

After all, from last year's autumn harvest to summer harvest, there must be a period of time when the green and yellow are not allowed to go on. Many families have to borrow food in various ways or rely on wild vegetables to support it.

If the summer harvest is not enough, you can only go to beg for food.

But this year, the southern part of Guanlong Mountain has a severe drought, so there is no place to go for food.
