Physician and Food [Farming]

Landlord?This name is also strange.

"According to what you said, then I am not a landlady." Tie Dan smiled softly against Gou Wa.

Gou Wa repeatedly denied: "How is it possible."

"Nothing is impossible." Tie Dan hugged Gou Wa into his arms, "I like it very much."

Gouwa panicked with embarrassment on his face.

"Then don't think about what you have and what you don't have. It's serious to have fun right now." Tie Dan gently kissed Gou Wa's forehead, "Nian Nian, let's save those annoying things for later."

In the following time, Tie Dan interrupted all Gouwa's sorrows and sorrows with practical actions, and in the joy, Gouwa temporarily forgot about the bad things outside.

Because of the locust plague, Tie Dan didn't go back to the city, and stayed at Gou Wa's house for a while.For Suotou, there is not much loss. On the contrary, he has been in contact with Tie Dan for a longer time and learned more.

Although Suo Tou is only six years old, he is a fast learner, and now he has been studying with Tie Dan for more than half a year. Although he dare not say that he has achieved something in his studies at this time, he has also just glimpsed the way.I hope that I know a thing or two, and I can grab some simple medicines to eat.

Everyone in the village has heard that Suotou is studying medicine, and someone who suffers from a headache will come over to have a look.There used to be a native doctor in the village.It's just that after the people disappeared five years ago, there is no one in the village who understands.You can only go to the village or county to see a doctor.As for the prescriptions prescribed by doctors, most of the medicines are complicated and complicated, and the medicines over there are still expensive.At least not the farmers can afford it.

So Tiedan pointed at the lock and tried to show it to others.Three melons and two jujubes require a little consultation fee, and the prescriptions are prescribed for people to go to the village to get medicine by themselves. The prices of the medicines prescribed are not too high, so that they spend less money.After earning copper coins, they all bought snacks for Suo Tou himself.

Although now that the family has silver, there is no need to think about spending a copper plate for a long time like before.But Gouwa still won't give the lock too much money.Of course, there is never a lot of food and clothing.But the money is always just right.He was also afraid that Suo Tou would develop a habit of being extravagant because of his wealthy family.

Now that he is still young, naturally he can't spend much.But if something goes wrong with her habit and she will be like this when she grows up, then what about the rich family?There will always be a day of failure.

Gouwa doesn't understand the truth that "wealth comes from a thrifty family".He only knows that every day he lives, he saves a day for the lock.If he had gone that day and kept the lock on the money he left behind, it would be enough to live the rest of his life.I don't want extravagance, but I want to be able to eat at any time in this lifetime, eat well, dress warmly and sleep well.That dog can close its eyes.

The plague of locusts did not stay in this village for long.Although the villagers also caught a lot of locusts as meat dishes and beat them for a few days to relieve their hatred, the food that was eaten was lost after all.

Originally, those who planted crops pointed to the ground to eat.Each person only has a small amount of ration land, and the food grown will not be too much.

Now that so much has been eaten by locusts, it is lucky that people are not hungry, and it is even more impossible to sell the grain for money.This year, except for Gouwa's family, the whole village is living a tight life.

This year is like this, if it is like this next year, then you will be hungry.Seriously, it is not impossible to have a famine.

The common people are devastated, and the officials are naturally even more restless.When this kind of thing happens, more or less officials will be severely criticized.Even if it is a natural disaster, officials will be accused by their superiors or ordinary people of poor governance.

Therefore, when the number of locusts decreased, the local county magistrate began to enter the temple in person to offer incense and pray for blessings.Pray to God to bless you.On the other end, a note was written and reported to the court.While exempting local taxes, at the same time apply for relief food from the court.

The drought and locust plague this time is not only affecting the local area. There is no one in the surrounding counties who can escape, and the situation is not optimistic.

Except for the village where Gou Wa is located, the other villages have actually reduced their production significantly.Because of the severe drought, the water in the river has dropped a lot this year, and even severe places have stopped flowing.Even if some industrious people draw water from the well to irrigate the field, the result is a drop in the bucket.

The harvest itself has been nearly halved, and it has been ruined a lot by locusts.Although there are grain reserves from previous years, there will be no famine for the time being.But whether these stored grains can last in the coming year is another matter.Even if we persist until the next year, if we continue to reduce production next year, it will really be God who will not give us a way out.

Tie Dan guessed these situations.But he didn't have anything useful to do about it.

This kind of thing, in fact, would not be a problem at all in the world he was in.That world country already has a fairly mature system, and the reduction in grain production for just one or two years may not even fluctuate much in grain prices.

But in this world, that would be a big enough event to shake the whole country.If you encounter a foolish king, or a corrupt official.That could easily lead to corpses littering the field.

But no matter what kind of result it is, it cannot be controlled by an outsider like Tie Dan.Nor did he intend to stop the wheel of history.

In fact, he and Gouwa are similar in this regard.That is being able to see where you are.

These days, the family of three gets along more and more harmoniously.When the locusts outside are no longer a threat, the family of three will go out for a walk together.Especially take a look near the water room.

The yard that Tie Dan was supposed to build had previously been shut down because of locust bites. Now that the project has resumed, more than half of it has been built.

Because it is not mainly for people to live in, except for the two suites reserved for the long-term workers, the rest have been prepared in separate compartments for raising various animals.

And the entire courtyard is very large, and there was originally a large open space in the middle.Not long ago, Tiedan just decided to build a long greenhouse in the middle of the yard.The windows should be large, and along with the entire length of the greenhouse, there is a floor-mounted chimney across the entire length of the greenhouse, from one end of the greenhouse to the stove, and the smoke is discharged from the other end.

In this way, the whole chimney is hot when the fire burns.People can even sit on the end of the chimney.In this way, once the fire is lit, the whole greenhouse is warm.

Glass is still a luxury in this world.So this window can only be covered with paper.

Of course, the paper to paste the windows is also expensive.It must be tightly pasted so that it is not easy to be broken by the wind, and it must also be highly transparent.This kind of thing can only be done properly by Tie Dan himself.

Because it is a greenhouse, the temperature must be firmly locked in the house.Therefore, there is a curtain made of a thick quilt inside and outside the window.Put it away during the day and put it down at night.

Gouwa has never seen this before, and every time he comes here, he has to ask carefully.Tie Dan also gave him a lot of insight, almost answering every question.

Some people from the village came to watch the excitement.Gouwa didn't say much, only said that the nobles wanted it.

It is a good thing that there are noble people in the village.Of course, the premise is that this noble person is not a vicious master.It would be even better if he was a good person, and everyone in the village would be able to follow along.

"This greenhouse will be ready in two days. Once the fire is lit, things can be grown here." Tie Dan led Gou Wa into the greenhouse to take a closer look.

Tie Dan looked at the shelves that had been set up inside, couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart, held Tie Dan's hand and smiled: "As long as I have this, I can eat fresh vegetables in winter. Not only that. If the weather is not good in the coming year Well, it is convenient to grow things here, and it is not a problem to simply support one or two people in such a large place."

Gouwa thought about it, then turned to look at Tie Dan: "Brother, you said that if every household in the village had one like this, wouldn't you be afraid of going hungry?"

Tie Dan looked at Gou Wa, speechless.Within two seconds, Gouwa himself began to feel that this idea was ridiculous.

Other families do not have such financial resources as his family.What's more, this greenhouse was built with Tie Dan's money.Even Gouwa himself doesn't have the courage to spend time and effort building such a greenhouse all at once, let alone other people.

Not to mention anything else, just so many windows.Where did the paper that pasted the windows come from?There are still many people in the village whose windows are pasted with papyrus or covered with cloth.Even more difficult ones can only be blocked by straw curtains.It's fine during the daytime in summer, and can be rolled up to let the light in.If it is cold winter and the twelfth lunar month, the house must be tightly covered. Staying in the house is only able to see a little more than a blind man.

Not to mention the extravagant use of this kind of thin paper?

"Brother, is there any cheap one that can paste the windows? If there is a real famine in the future, not to mention building such a magnificent greenhouse, just building a mud room can produce a lot of food."

Tie Dan Tan Tan Shou: "At least there is no such thing in this world. There is only something better and more suitable for windows than this paper. For example, Mingwa made of shells, ram's horns, or mica slices. Or more luxurious, simply use glass. These are more transparent and can make the inside of the house as bright as the outside. It’s just that I was in a hurry to prepare and I didn’t have time to buy them. I can replace them next year.”

Sure enough, such a special good thing can only be enjoyed by a very small number of people.

Tie Dan was afraid that Gou Wa would be disappointed, so he said again: "The people in the village have more harvest this year than people in other places. Even if the harvest is still bad next year, they will only be the last batch of hungry people. On the other side of the city, I have stockpiled a lot of grain, and when necessary, I will open a warehouse to release grain. If the village waits until that day, if you have the heart, you can give away the porridge under the banner of the lock. It is only for your uncles and nephews to accumulate blessings and do good deeds . And that's something you can do."

Back then Gouwa made a wish to heaven.God treats him well.If your family is rich in this life, you must do a lot of good deeds, so as to live up to God's painstaking care for him.

Gouwa is born with such a temper.Tiedan not only understands, but also supports.

It's just that it's a little different from Gouwa's idea.Gou Wa believes in karma.Good results come from good causes.And Tie Dan simply thinks that doing good deeds can put Gou Wa in a good mood.This kind of positive energy mood is also a rare feedback.

As the saying goes, money can't buy happiness.Do something good to feel good.This kind of mentality is relaxed and carefree, why not do it?

Gouwa squinted at Tie Dan, then smiled.Don't take this matter to heart anymore.
