Chapter 279 I Want Food on Credit
Although Taiyuan Prefecture built a reservoir to store water, the manager here concealed the amount of remaining water and grain, so that the information received by the capital was inaccurate. When Liu Zhengqing arrived, Taiyuan Prefecture's water source had been almost used up.
After Liu Zhengqing found out the truth, he picked up his sword and killed the manager who was in charge of guarding the reservoir and granary.
"What a sin." Lin Jin had always felt that something was wrong. If there was really a severe drought in Taiyuan Prefecture, the imperial court would have provided disaster relief as soon as possible. However, only a few days after Liu Zhengqing set out, the area around Taiyuan Prefecture became like this. It was totally unreasonable.
Lin Jin just came to say hello to Liu Zhengqing and started to carry a hoe to farm. After several months of severe drought, the crops in Taiyuan Prefecture were all dead. Even with water, they could not revive, so she had to dig up all the crops.
"Water! It's water!" A group of people were very excited when they saw the water in the buckets, thinking that Taiyuan Prefecture was truly saved.
The others were alerted when they saw the water people appearing out of nowhere. They looked at Liu Zhengqing and said, "Sir, there is water!"
"Move all the buckets to store water." Liu Zhengqing was not happy at all when looking at the water. Now that the land was dry, this water was originally used to soak the land to make it easier for Lin Jin to dig. This water would only flow for one day. If Lin Jin failed to reclaim one acre of land within one day, the water source would be cut off.
In order to protect Lin Jin, Liu Zhengqing asked her to cultivate the government fields. Looking at the water flowing out of the faucet, he asked someone to bring buckets to collect the water, while he and Lin Jin dug the land and planted the fields.
"Why are you here to farm?" Lin Jin looked at Liu Zhengqing who was grunting and waving a hoe on the other side.
"They are not useless. Can't they even make porridge?" Liu Zhengqing laughed twice, thinking that Lin Jin's words were really boring. "Your system is really a troublesome thing. It even forces you to go to the fields to farm."
Lin Jin looked at the people he brought with him, all of whom were wielding hoes with their backs to the sky, just like him: "It's okay, it's just a little bit of fog, we can definitely survive the drought in Taiyuan Prefecture."
No one else in Taiyuan Prefecture understood what Liu Zhengqing and his team were doing. What was the point of digging the ground and planting crops at this time? There was not enough water to drink, so where would they get extra water to plant crops?
Although the land became dry and hard due to lack of water, making it very difficult to hoe, fortunately there were many of them and they worked from the afternoon until the evening, successfully reclaiming two acres of land, which meant that there was enough water for two days and two nights.
Lin Jin blew on his palms. He hadn't hoeed the fields for a long time, and suddenly picking up the hoe again felt a little unbearable in his hands.
Xing'er used a hot towel to apply to Lin Jin's palm, her eyes full of heartache: "What kind of damn system is this? Why is it on a girl?"
"It doesn't matter who you are, but everyone has to dig the land and plant crops." Lin Jin touched Xing'er's head and looked at Liu Zhengqing, "Brother, is there not enough food in the city?"
"Well, the drought in Taiyuan Prefecture is more serious than what is written in the memorial, and the drought has a tendency to continue to spread." The imperial court has been transporting grain to Taiyuan Prefecture, but with the number of people here, the grain brought was used up in just a few days.
Lin Jin frowned: "How much is left?"
She wanted to see how much more food she could borrow from the system.
"There are still five stones left." Liu Zhengqing rubbed his brows. Five stones of food sounded like a lot, but facing these people, there were still too many people and too little food. "We can only hold out for three more days at most. If the relief food doesn't arrive after three days, we will have to starve."
"System, how much food can I borrow?" Lin Jin felt heavy in his heart when he heard these numbers.
[The host can exchange as many acres of land as he can cultivate, and the land opened by others will be exchanged at a ratio of ten to one.] The system told Lin Jin the rules for exchanging food, [Of course, the host can buy rice on credit first, and then cultivate the land later to pay it back slowly.]
Hope rose in Lin Jin's eyes: "What if I haven't paid it back by the time the mission is over? "
[If the host still does not make up for the outstanding farmland after the mission is completed, the host's mysterious gift package reward will be deducted. However, it is not recommended for the host to do so, because once the gift package is deducted, the host may lose something very precious. ]
"Aren't gift packages random?" Lin Jin never took the gift packages seriously because the system didn't know what they were.
[It is random, but this is a reward that the system infers based on the future, and it is what the host will need in the future. ]
"Okay." Lin Jin understood, but she wanted to gamble big, "What if I buy a hundred acres of grain on credit?"
[One hundred acres! Host, are you sure?] Although the system is an AI, it was stunned by the number Lin Jin said at this moment, [Host, calm down, we can exchange it little by little, what if you can't come up?]
[Here we suggest that the host exchange ten acres of land first. According to the highest yield, ten acres of land also has more than 10,000 kilograms. Host, think twice! ] The system was afraid that Lin Jin would not be able to get over it, so the land cultivated by others could only be exchanged at a rate of ten to one. For a hundred acres, Lin Jin would have to dig for a long time by himself.
Ever since the faucet appeared out of nowhere, everyone realized that this matter was not simple. Fortunately, the people who stayed here were all Song Shiqiu's people, so no one questioned this.
No one interrupted Lin Jin while he was talking to the system. They just waited quietly for the result. From just a few words, everyone could guess what had happened. When Lin Jin said he wanted to buy grain from a hundred acres of land on credit, everyone's heart tightened.
"No!" Liu Zhengqing was the first to object. "How long will it take for you to plant a hundred acres of land? When will you be able to pay it back? Don't make trouble!"
"Madam..." The others also wanted to talk but stopped themselves. They couldn't say more. They didn't want Lin Jin to do this, but the people needed the food.
"Then let's exchange it for ten acres of food first." Lin Jin's eyes softened, and he compromised with Liu Zhengqing and the system. But just as he finished speaking, more than 10,000 kilograms of rice appeared on the ground behind them. The system was very conscientious. More than 10,000 kilograms was the weight of the rice including the husk, but the system directly converted it all into net weight.
Everyone looked at the rice that suddenly appeared like a small hill with surprise in their eyes. No one knew who took the lead, but everyone knelt beside Lin Jin.
"Madam's great kindness will be forever remembered by Taiyuan Prefecture." They didn't know what kind of deal Lin Jin had made with the immortal called System, but they knew that Taiyuan Prefecture was saved.
First it was water, then food. Everything was so incredible.
The guards who came with Lin Jin secretly looked up at her. In the past, they respected this lady because of their master, but now it was completely because of Lin Jin herself.
"Madam, have mercy!"
"Hurry up and get up! You guys are really exhausting me." Lin Jin had been busy all day, fearing that he would not be able to finish cultivating an acre of land today and that the city would run out of water tomorrow. Up to now, he had not eaten anything except for drinking some water, and his blood sugar was a little low at the moment.
Liu Zhengqing supported her and asked someone to prepare the food: "Let's go, it's getting dark, we have to wait until tomorrow for anything."
He asked people to take turns guarding the water source. Earlier, Lin Jin felt that running back and forth was too troublesome, so he asked people to cut large bamboos to use as water pipes to directly lead the water to the reservoir.
"Remember to release the water into the fields in the second half of the night, and then plant some other crops later." Lin Jin did not forget to remind them not to just focus on storing water and forget about farming later.
"It's already July, what can we plant?" In a few months it will be the autumn harvest season, and it will be too late to plant anything.
When it comes to crops, the local officials of Taiyuan Prefecture all have sad faces. Even if the drought is over, how can the people survive without food for the winter?
"It can be planted. If I say it can be planted, it can be planted." Lin Jin looked at them firmly. Perhaps it was because Lin Jin had demonstrated too many magical powers today, so when she said this, everyone couldn't help but feel a hope in their eyes.
