129 It doesn't rain, but it's dry

The excitement comes quickly and goes quickly. Many players emptied their copper bodies and wanted to calculate their fortune today. Unfortunately, no one reached the 90-Yulu fortune and 90-Yulu fortune, so no one had the chance to receive huge benefits from the mysterious mission that had not appeared. Many people cursed a few words about liars and ran to kill monsters and level up.

Some smart players did not spend this money in vain. Anyway, their daily fortune and fortune have been decided from the moment they are online. Whether it is the same or not. If you really have this fortune, you can encounter the best NPC task without calculating.

No one spent this money to tell fortunes again, and the fortune telling stall of Wu Taoist priest has returned to its deserted state. Wu Taoist priest didn't care. The copper in his pocket today was rumbling like flowing water, which was enough for him to use for a long time. In the lively market, his shouting was mixed with: "Oh, fortune telling, test the luck of the day, good fortune~, it's extremely accurate, it will work as soon as it is tested. Don't miss it when you pass by, maybe you will get rich today~!"

......

In the administrative courtyard of Xiaobai Village, Zhan Xiaobai was inquiring about the village affairs. Li A San walked in with a worried look and reported: "My lord, it has not rained at some point. The river water three miles away has been shrinking. It has been very dry these days. I went to see it again today. It has been half the amount of water. I am a little uneasy, so I ask my lord to make an idea."

Zhan Xiaobai said in surprise: "Oh, is there such a thing? Has this happened before?"

Li A San said: "In spring, summer, autumn and winter, river water follows the rise and fall of the rainy season, which is often the case. However, these two months should have been the rainy season, and the water should have risen. However, it rarely rains, which is unusual, and I am very worried."

Li A San sighed as he spoke.

Zhan Xiaobai thought about it. After so long, it seems that there has been no rain in Wuwei County. Will this affect the water volume of the river? If the climate characteristics in the game imitate reality, this situation is likely to happen. As soon as the rain is short, it is probably a drought that follows.

Zhan Xiaobai asked cautiously: "Asan, what would happen if there was no water in the river?"

Li Asan said: "When I go back to the lord, the grain fields are short of water and the output is reduced. Residents lack water in their lives and the livestock is uneasy. After a long time of water shortage in the river, the groundwater will be greatly reduced, which is probably a drought. Please prepare early."

Zhan Xiaobai nodded, and he had to be careful of this situation.

"Well, let's go to the river to take a look first."

"yes!"

Zhan Xiaobai and Li Asan took more than a dozen players to the river three miles away.

There are not many players in Xiaobai Village who can see fishing by the river, about dozens of them. Because the river water volume has dropped significantly, it is so high that people can be wading across the river, so the rafts at Hebei have stopped using. Because the river shrinks, there are many fewer fish in the river.

A few players who caught fish in the river saw Zhan Xiaobai and others coming, and went ashore from the river, shouting: "Boss Xiaobai is here!" "Boss Xiaobai, I am afraid that there will be fewer fish that can be caught this month, but I am afraid that it will not be enough for the NPCs in the village."

Zhan Xiaobai came to the river, nodded, and smiled at the players: "The food this month is not too tight, plus these fish, it should be enough. By the way, Brother Feilong and Brother Qiankun, do you know when did the river water start to decrease?"

Those players shook their heads.

Only the Big River Feilong laughed dryly and said, "Although I often catch fish here, I'm not very clear. It should have been a while. However, the water volume decreased very little at the beginning, so I didn't pay much attention. A month ago, I found that a fish's brushing point suddenly stopped. At that time, I thought something was wrong with the system, but I didn't expect that the river water began to decrease significantly. In the past few days, the water volume has been greatly reduced, not even the waist. From our side to the other side, it can pass in three or four minutes, and the raft is also saved."

Zhan Xiaobai looked at the riverbed. The original one-third riverbed on the river bank had become mud. The remaining part was also smooth. He frowned and asked, "Feilong, you are familiar with this river. Do you think it will take for this small river to break down? "

The big river Feilong estimated a value and said, "It's about 15 days to 20 days. At that time, the water will probably not flow, and the river will not be as deep as the soles of the feet."

15~20 days, very short.

Zhan Xiaobai calculated it. It is May 15th. When the grain was collected this month, the river almost stopped flowing. After planting the grain at the beginning of next month, the river will be completely out of water.

Zhan Xiaobai was shocked. He didn't need to watch astrology or look at the air, and he knew that something might happen. If it didn't rain during this period, the river would be cut off, and it would definitely cause a series of disasters, shortage of food, water shortage, severe drought, and people's hearts were shaken. These would detonate all contradictions, and their power would be even more terrifying than powder kegs.

I just hope that all this doesn't happen too early.

Zhan Xiaobai took a breath and asked Li A San behind him: "When the river breaks, how long can the well last?"

Li A San was already shocked when he heard that the flow was about to stop flowing for 15 days. When he heard Zhan Xiaobai's inquiry, he hurriedly said: "Report to the lord, the river water is cut off, and the underground well water can be used for up to 15 days."

15 days! That is mid-June. As long as you can hold on for 15 more days and hold on until it rains, it is worth it.

Zhan Xiaobai asked again: "How many wells are there in the village now?"

Li A San replied: "Only three. One is a well attached to the administrative courtyard, and the other two are in residential areas and in craftsmen's workshops."

This well is definitely not enough.

Zhan Xiaobai thought for a moment and immediately said: "You immediately bring people to dig a large number of wells in the village, dig at least 20 wells, and ensure that there are enough wells for the villagers to use. In addition, send someone to Wutong Village and inform Wutong to dig the well immediately."

Li A San hesitated and said, "Lord, one well can be used by 50 people. 10 wells should be enough."

Zhan Xiaobai said: "Dig more and spare."

Li A San said nothing and said, "Yes, I will do it immediately." He hurried back to the village and drew a large number of idle farmers to dig wells.

Digging wells takes more time than building a house. Five farmers dig a well, which takes about 10 days to dig, so Li Asan simply sent a large number of farmers to dig 20 wells at the same time. He also sent someone to Wutong Village to dig more wells.

After Li Asan returned to the village, Zhan Xiaobai stayed by the river for a while. He was estimating how long the fish in the river would last for farmers to eat. After all, he could barely survive until the end of May because of the reduction in the river water. After May, there would be no fish and rely entirely on food.

Zhan Xiaobai looked at the calculated data, pondered, and had no expression on his face.

Dahe Feilong and others were anxious for Zhan Xiaobai and said, "Boss Xiaobai, let's just grab more fish from the river sections of other villages upstream and downstream for farmers to eat, try to save food, and leave a little food, so that the farmers can preserve their strength."

Qiankun of Shui Li also shouted: "Feilong said, it should be too late to grab more fish now. When other villages react, I'm afraid there will be no hurry to come."

Hearing their suggestions, Zhan Xiaobai smiled bitterly and shook his head.

The 500npc population consumes a lot of fish grain in one day. Even if you grab fish from other villages, you can't eat it for 1 to 2 days. Moreover, the upper reaches are Hubao Village and Daqi Village, which is shared by the river section. In order to eat one or two more fish, it has conflicts with these two neighboring villages at the same time. It is very unwise and the various resources consumed are too large.

The downstream is the river section of Wutong Village, which has always been shared with Xiaobai Village and does not need to be robbed. If you go farther to fish, it will be troublesome. There are fewer people and cannot rob players in other villages. If there are too many people, it will be troublesome to travel back and forth.

All he can do now is to try his best to find ways to obtain grain from other channels. Send merchants to buy surplus grain from some small villages at high prices. Although very few people can sell grain, they can collect a little bit now.

Zhan Xiaobai said: "In the past month, there will be large-scale unrest, so we cannot easily use force to provoke disputes, but maintain good relations with each village to avoid arousing public anger. Brothers, try to increase the utilization rate of our river section and develop the fishery products to the maximum. All fish will be purchased directly by the village, and the price will be increased by 10% to 20% on the existing basis. If players in other villages want to sell fish, you can also take over and resell them to the village."

Dahe Feilong laughed and said, "No problem. When the price is mentioned, the price of fish collected in other villages is not as high as ours. There must be some players who will secretly sell fish to us. We can take over and make a small amount of money by replacing our hands."

Zhan Xiaobai smiled and told them, he planned to go back to the village.

Suddenly, an old song sounded from the downstream river section.

An old man, wearing a bamboo hat, rode a raft alone on the river, and sang: "The water of the Yangtze River rolls east and west... Those who divide and combine are the world, the Han Dynasty is unified, and three are established..."

With the singing voices, all the players from Xiaobai Village raised their heads in surprise and looked at the source of the singing voice.

NPC is different from players. NPC does not know the historical progress, but all players know that the world will be three points sooner or later.

Who is this old man who sings NPC? He actually knows that the Han family will have three different ties?

Zhan Xiaobai and the players gathered at the river to wait for the old man to come on a raft.

When the old man was approaching the raft, he was singing: "Use eunuchs to ruin state affairs, bad state affairs, strange things, in the temple, a rooster turned into a hen. Emperor Ling asked, how to explain," he said.

Zhan Xiaobai shouted loudly: "Hey, that old man, stop for a moment. Who is your old name? What's the song you mentioned?"

The old man stopped the raft in the river and opened the bamboo hat. He turned out to be an old Taoist priest with a gray beard.

The old Taoist priest had his clothes floating on the independent raft, and he laughed and said, "Heroes, who is the old Taoist? It doesn't matter. The old Taoist has something, and I want to ask all the young masters. I wonder if you can answer it?"

Zhan Xiaobai and the players from Xiaobai Village looked at each other and were extremely excited. Missions are definitely tasks, otherwise this old man would not ask questions for players for no reason.

Zhan Xiaobai immediately represented all the players of Xiaobai Village present and replied: "Please ask the Taoist priest, as long as we know it, we will answer everything."

The old Taoist chuckled and said, "I am free, so I am compiling songs to enjoy myself. Shaojie, you said that a rooster turned into a hen in the temple. When the Spirit Emperor was surprised, he asked, how to explain it? How should I explain it? Shaojie, how should I explain it?"

Is there such a weird thing about a rooster turning into a hen?

The players in Xiaobai Village standing behind Zhan Xiaobai were stunned. The hen turned into a rooster. How can I explain this? What do you know how to explain it?

Dahe Feilong couldn't help but mutter: "It's not a genetic mutation, right?"

Shui Li Qiankun immediately smiled strangely and said, "You mutate, you are the flying dragon leader. No matter how you change, you can't turn the male into a female. I guess the possibility of sexual regeneration surgery is greater... His grandma, who is so bored to perform sexual regeneration surgery on a rooster! Isn't this abusing chickens!"

"This is not a boring thing!" A professional chicken farmer said to everyone solemnly: "You don't understand this, the rooster has been castrated, the meat is more tender, the taste is rich and mellow, and it can also increase weight, which is beneficial to the country and the people."

The player next to him said anxiously: "You guys, don't worry about whether the chicken gains weight or not. It's the most important thing to think out what the Spirit Emperor needs!"

Just when the players were controversial,

Zhan Xiaobai had already expressed the answer and said to the old Taoist priest: "Answer, ten regular servants, castration roosters, and the ruling of state affairs."

The players were surprised, "Boss Xiaobai, why did you come up with it so quickly?"

Zhan Xiaobai sweated, "I know everything when I go to Baidu."

The old Taoist priest pondered and recalled it, and suddenly laughed: "Okay, a ten-time attendant, a captive rooster, is the master of state affairs! It seems that this hero also dislikes the ten-time attendant."

Zhan Xiaobai said: "Not bad."

"Okay, you have compiled 3 songs for me, I'll give you this item." The old Taoist priest threw out a shining item from afar.
