Defeat natural disasters with farming

There are a lot of things to do in the village, the first is to repair the outer wall, but when Wang Shu took people over to observe carefully, he found that there were many small cracks on the wall, which could not be repaired simply. It is best to be able to directly tear down and rebuild.

It's just that the weather is still cold and it's really not suitable for breaking ground. Therefore, after discussion, they decided to only block the dog hole with stones for the time being, and then carry out large-scale reconstruction after the land thaws.

Especially this time, Ye Yu also made a suggestion that Yejia Village should be named after the city directly, and the buildings will be built according to the standards of the city in the future.

His proposal was immediately approved by the whole village. The villagers felt that they could not live in the county town, but now they finally had a chance to become city residents. Besides, Yejia Village didn't sound good.

Therefore, when everyone agrees, those who can make decisions in the village held a meeting in the assembly hall to discuss.

"In addition to having a city owner, a city also has corresponding officials to manage it." Ye Yu said, "Of course the city owner is you. As for the other positions, you can be elected through elections."

Before Father Ye could speak, Ye Tongsheng, who was sitting on the right, couldn't wait to agree with the former, and then asked, "This is a good idea, but what's the point of selection?"

"It is to let all the villagers in the village sign up, and then they will vote. The one with the highest number of votes will be elected." After Ye Yu explained, everyone fell into deep thought.

In the end, Father Ye was the first to break the silence, "Let's talk about this matter later, let's finalize the framework first."

They are now crossing the river by feeling the stones, and the only thing they can refer to is Jingbian City where General Chu is located. However, the basic situation of Jingbian City is the same as before the natural disaster. Be applicable.

Ye Yu felt that the simpler the better, they didn't need to have so many official positions. After thinking about it, the others also agreed with this point, so the list of official positions they finally negotiated was very simple.

The first is the city lord, and under the city lord are the military officers in charge of managing the village soldiers and three civil officials who assist the city lord in managing the internal affairs.

Under the military attache are four chief officers who are responsible for hunting, patrolling, punishment and fighting respectively. Among them, hunting and patrolling are the easiest, while punishment and fighting are more difficult.

Penalties are similar to modern law enforcement and judicial departments. Anyone in the village who violates the newly revised law will be arrested by them and will be punished accordingly. Those who are light will be fined or work on behalf of others, and those who are serious will be expelled There is even the death penalty in the village. Of course, there is only one case where people are sentenced to death for the time being, and that is that they betray the village (city).

The battle is not the same. This matter is only the responsibility of the city lord. Once encountering foreign enemies, all soldiers must participate. Therefore, ordinary training is essential, and soldiers have a competition every month. The result of the competition is the key to promotion in the future. standard.

There are three civil servants, they do not have the right to enforce the law, they only have the right to help the city lord handle internal affairs, the three check and balance each other, so as to reduce the possibility of their future corruption.

In addition to these, there is also a supervisory department. The inspector general is at the same level as the military officer and the civil servant. The task of this department is to detect corruption and dereliction of duty by officials.

After listing these one by one, Ye Yu heaved a sigh of relief. This is still the simplest version, and further optimization is needed, but with the basic framework, it is much simpler, just like having a skeleton, you only need to add flesh and blood to it That's enough, as for the title, I have to think about it.

Flesh and blood include officials responsible for various internal affairs. Ye Yu used charcoal to write and draw on bamboo paper while thinking, such as being in charge of population registration, point registration and exchange, and field registration.

When the final meeting ended, the sky had already darkened, and there was a drizzle falling outside the house, making it extremely deserted.

Ye Yu closed the notebook, recovered from the meeting, and then shivered, the temperature in the room seemed to be lower again.

Seeing this, Chu Xufeng got up and moved the charcoal in the brazier to make them burn again.

Ye Tongsheng put the brush on the pen stand, and said happily: "Then we just need to think about it."

Father Ye nodded after hearing his words, "Okay, it's getting late, let's go home and rest first."

As soon as the words came out, there was no one in the room. Ye Yu slowly packed up the pens and papers, put them in the bag, turned around and saw Father Ye waving at him, he knew that his father would stay, So he didn't wait for him, and walked out with Chu Xufeng.

He rubbed his neck and said, "I'm really tired these days."

He has to bow his head every day, first to optimize the law, and then to consider the construction of the city. If this continues, he suspects that he will suffer from cervical spondylosis sooner or later. Sure enough, the reading method of shaking his head is still useful, at least it is good for the neck.

As soon as the words fell, Ye Yu felt a cool hand land on his neck, and squeezed it. This feeling that his lifeblood was controlled by others made him shiver.

"Hey, don't make trouble." Ye Yu saved his neck from Chu Xufeng's hands.

Chu Xufeng didn't struggle either. He casually put down his hands and said with a smile, "I'll massage you when I get back. I'm pretty good at it."

"Then I have to enjoy it." Ye Yu turned his neck, and then he took Chu Xufeng's arm and said happily: "My mother said that she made a spicy pot today and asked us to go home early for dinner."

"Spicy pot?" Chu Xufeng asked.

"That's right." Ye Yu described as he dragged him along, "It is to dry the chili peppers that were planted before and fry them with various spices, put them in a hot pot and pour water, and then you can cook things in the soup. I think it smells really good, especially when it's cold."

"Anyway, you must try it!"

Chu Xufeng responded warmly: "Okay."

When the two of them arrived at the door, they could already smell a pungent spicy smell. Ye Yu sniffled, "It smells like pepper." For dishes with strong flavors, such as mapo tofu.

After entering the door, Ye Yu saw Mother Ye cleaning the intestines, so he quickly put down the bag on his hand and went to help.

The pink duck intestines floated in the water, looking greasy and dirty, but as long as they were rubbed with flour and then soaked in salt water, they would be washed clean.

After washing the duck intestines, Ye Yu asked Chu Xufeng, "What ingredients do you want?"

There are two types of dipping sauce, one is sesame paste, and the other is an oil dish mixed with soy sauce, vinegar, minced garlic and chopped green onion.

Chu Xufeng replied, "Same as you."

Ye Yu responded, "Okay then, I'll adjust the oil dish for you."

Black soy sauce and vinegar, minced garlic, and emerald green scallions were placed in a small ceramic bowl. It looked extremely colorful. Ye Yu thought regretfully, it would be better if there was oyster sauce or sesame oil. The dipping sauce that comes out is more spicy.

He made a total of three bowls of ingredients, one of which was Yemu's favorite sesame paste.

When he came to the main room with the bowl, he saw that Chu Xufeng had already helped Mother Ye bring the hot pot to the table. The chili-red soup in the pot was bubbling and bubbling, and there were lettuce leaves and cabbage leaves in the wooden basket. , mushrooms stretched out after soaking in water, potato slices cut to a moderate thickness, and various soy products, including Ye Yu's favorite frozen tofu, which will be full after soaking in the pot once. With the soup, the taste is excellent.

The rest of the plates were filled with different meat dishes, including thin slices of mutton, fish, duck intestines and duck meat, all of which they loved.

Mother Ye put her hand on her earlobe and greeted Ye Yu, "Don't wait for your father, let's eat first."

Ye Yu first poured them a cup of goat milk tea before sitting down to eat.

While rinsing the duck intestines, he said: "There is a technique for rinsing duck intestines, which is to lift it three times and place it three times, so that the duck intestines are crispy and tender, especially delicious."

After he said this, the duck intestines were ready. The duck intestines on the chopsticks turned from pink to deep red. As long as they were rolled in the oil dish, they would be covered with dipping sauce.

Ye Yu put it in his mouth, and it really was a familiar taste, spicy and delicious, especially the chili grown by their family, not only purely spicy, but also particularly fragrant.

Several of them can eat spicy food, especially Chu Xufeng, who obviously looks like a bright and beautiful person who doesn't touch the fireworks of the world, but he really doesn't change his face when he eats spicy food.

Just like now, Ye Yu has already started to inhale, he is still at ease, and his complexion has not changed, if his lips are not ruddy, it is not even obvious that he is eating spicy food.

Among the meat dishes on the table, mutton slices are most suitable for shabu-shabu, because mutton itself has a smell of mutton, so it needs to be covered with heavy ingredients, so it is very suitable for spicy pot.

Ye Yu put the mutton slices in the pot into a bowl, and began to eat bitterly. His lips were flushed red from the heat, and he kept "hissing" and gasping.

Fortunately, he had goat milk tea at hand, and when it was too spicy, he would pick up the milk tea and take a sip.

"It's really spicy." Mother Ye couldn't help but sigh with emotion, and then added, "But it's very delicious."

"We can pick out all the chili peppers and add some boiled noodles to eat after a while." Ye Yu wiped his sweat and said that he was sweating after just one meal. It can be seen how spicy the pot is.

Mother Ye hesitated, "Will this be too spicy? How about I give you a bowl of noodles in clear soup?"

Ye Yu waved his hand, "Don't bother, just pick out all the peppers, and the remaining soup won't be so spicy."

"Okay, let's try it first. If it's too spicy, don't eat it, or you'll have a stomachache at night." Ye Mu also took a sip of milk tea.

They were halfway through eating, Father Ye finally came back in the rain, his whole body was wet from head to toe, Ye Yu realized that it was already pouring rain outside, they were so engrossed in eating that they didn't even hear the sound of rain.

Just as he was about to stand up, Father Ye stopped him, "You don't need to get up, I'm going to change clothes before I come over for dinner."

"Success." After hearing this, Mother Ye sat down again.

Before his father entered the room, Ye Yu raised his voice and asked, "Father, what do you want to eat?"

Father Ye's voice came from afar, "Sesame paste."

When Father Ye finally sat down to eat safely, he sighed deeply, "I feel like I'm getting busier."

"Come on." Mother Ye filled a bowl full of mutton slices for him, "I enjoy watching you."

Father Ye said after swallowing the meat, "It's really tiring. I'm afraid it will be even more tiring after the city is built."

Ye Yu smiled and said, "Isn't it true that the capable work harder? Daddy, you are the capable."

"Oh, I hope someone can help me." Father Ye began to eat hard after finishing his speech. He made rounds of the leftover dishes but he was still not full.

So Ye Mu filtered out all the peppers and put the hand-rolled noodles in. The wheat-yellow noodles undulated in the pot.

And in the end, it won’t be unpalatable to eat. The noodles are thick, chewy, and just rightly spicy. You just need to roll them up with chopsticks and pass them in the dipping sauce to make them extra delicious.

After the whole family finished eating, Ye Yu wanted to help Mother Ye wash the dishes, but she refused, "I don't want to wash now, I have to soak in warm water first to remove the oil before washing it clean. "

Just at this time, Father Ye had something to call him, and Ye Yu went over and heard Father Ye frowned and said: "After discussing with Ye Tongsheng, I agreed that it is better for officials to appoint themselves. The election you proposed is not suitable."

Ye Yu sighed indistinctly. He also knew that the electoral system does not apply now. After all, there are only 300 to [-] people in his village. The number of people is small and every household is closely connected. If there is an election, it is easy to cover up, such as giving gifts. Threats and other means are not uncommon.

But he proposed it in order to leave a shadow in their hearts. When there are more people in the future, they can gradually start to overdo it. Although it may not be very democratic, it is better than a pure feudal system.

So he said to Father Ye: "That's right, I didn't think about it."

Father Ye patted him on the shoulder when he heard the words, and changed the subject: "The name of the city can be used in this way. You have studied a lot, do you have any good suggestions?"

Ye Yu pondered for a while before saying solemnly: "The only word is hope."

Hope and hope both mean hope. Ye Yu only hopes that everyone will always have hope in the future and not give up lightly.

Father Ye repeated the word twice, and then clapped his hands in praise: "It really is a good meaning."

After the two of them talked about it, Ye Yu was going to help Ye Mu wash the dishes, but when she passed by, she realized that Chu Xufeng had finished washing for her, and the dishes and chopsticks had been put back to their original place.

Seeing him coming, Chu Xufeng dried his hands with a towel and said with a smile, "Shall I massage your neck?"

"Okay." Ye Yu readily accepted.

Immediately afterwards, he lay on the bed and exposed his neck. After closing his eyes, he could only feel Chu Xufeng's slightly cool hands pressing from his neck to his shoulders with just the right strength, which quickly relieved the soreness caused by bowing his head.

"Are you comfortable?" Chu Xufeng asked him.

"Comfortable." Ye Yu just nodded before being stopped by him.

"Don't move, just press it for half a quarter of an hour."

After half a quarter of an hour passed, Ye Yu was already in a drowsy state. If he hadn't been thinking about brushing his teeth, he might have fallen asleep a long time ago. Even so, he was woken up by Chu Xufeng.
