Vol 3 Chapter 1768: -Hidden drought

Knowing that Ji Thief had gone out, Li Ya happily pulled Xiao Ji Huan over and asked to follow him.
The thief turned around and begged: "Auntie, we are not going out for fun, we have a business."
"No, the business is in the tribe. What business can there be to go outside? Take me. You won't let me go to the war with you. Why, even going out to play, I don't have my share?"
Ji thief: "I...do it, go and go, but what about Xiao Jihuan?"
Li Ya turned her head and looked at the little guy: "Then you need to ask, let's go together?"
The little guy immediately said: "I want to go back, I won't follow..."
"Ok?"
"Daddy, dare you not let me follow, I will go back and tell my mother that you have hidden money."
As soon as the little guy opened his mouth and couldn't say anything, Li Ya immediately cast a death gaze. In an instant, the little guy changed his mouth.
He is not afraid of heaven and earth in the tribe, because everyone let him, which makes him lawless, that is, Li Ya, when he is playing with him, he really does it, and the little guy can’t say anything, isn’t it, Li Ya pulled his face, he immediately changed his words, for fear that Li Ya would do it again.
In a sense, Xiao Jihuan, as a bachelor, has inherited the characteristics of Ji thief.
"Thief, look, Xiao Jihuan also said to go."
Ji Thief looked at his son silently, his expression as if he was asking you, is he so persuaded?
The little guy glanced at Ji Thief whitely, as if he was saying that you are not counseling, and you are still so afraid of a few mothers.
The thief had nothing to do with his son, so he had to look at Usma and planned to let Usma say a word and leave Liya.
Usma is an old fritters. Seeing the thief's hint, she nodded immediately: "Master Li Ya, since you want to go, that's OK, let's go together."
Ji Thief's eyes almost didn't come out, uncle, how about playing?
I hinted to you that you didn't understand?
Usma even sighed, saying that she obviously did what the king said. How come the king is going to eat herself?
Shrinking his neck without daring to ask, Tushan drew the carriage, Ji thief, Li Ya, Usma, and Xiao Jihuan got into the carriage and drove from Tushan to the white bone wasteland to cultivate the land.
Before leaving, Ji Zei ordered a member of the clansman to go back and tell Xue that he would come back soon after going out for a few days.
Everything was settled. Ji Zei came to the White Bone Wasteland in the evening. When he got there, Ah Wei was taking the people from the Ministry of Agriculture, just packing up and preparing to start work.
Seeing the thief's carriage, he was notified by someone that Ah Wei was carrying a copper shovel, followed by a few deputies, and knelt before him to pay respect.
The thief got out of the carriage and helped Awei up, and asked, "Awei, are you just getting off work?"
Awei smiled and responded: "Isn't that more cultivated land? King, you are too. You will not say a word when you come. I can pick you up."
Ji thief waved his hand: "You are welcome, I am here this time, mainly because there are some things I want to talk to you."
"What? King, what are you talking about?"
The thief pulled Awei forward: "Come on, let's talk as we go."
Ah Wei agreed and gave the copper shovel on his shoulders to his deputy, and followed Ji Zei: "Lord, please tell me what's the matter."
"This is Awei, has there been any drought in the Bone Wasteland recently?"
Ah Wei looked at Ji Zei blankly, his expression as if he was thinking about what drought means.
He hasn't gone to the Department of Literature to study for a long time. Naturally, he doesn't know as much vocabulary as Uxma.
Seeing Ah Wei's expression, Ji thief screamed and opened his mouth to explain for Ah Wei.
Biji Awei understood the meaning of drought, and then he screamed: "Major, you can be regarded as asking about the place, yes, how can it not? In the past two months, there have been seven arable land from the 4th to the 10th. When the drought occurs, the 1st to the 3rd are a little better. In other words, they are next to the river, and the situation is much better."
Ji Zei frowned: "Since there is a drought, why don't you tell me?"
Awei scratched his head embarrassedly: "I, I don't think there is any need to trouble you, the king, because this kind of situation has been encountered in large mountain ranges before. As long as it rains, things will pass, I know , We are now preparing to go to war with the Sun Tribe. You are at a busy time, King. If you are delayed because of this, then I am really guilty."
"Tsk, you're confused. You can go to war with the Sun Tribe anytime. This farming land is the capital for us to settle down. Alas, I thought it was a good thing that there was no snow this winter. God has given us the news long ago."
Ah Wei said.
"How is the condition of the farmland by the river?"
"It's okay now, but it doesn't rain often, and the river is almost dry. I think that in two months, or three months at most, the three cultivated fields by the river will not last."
The thief turned his head to look at Usma, his expression seemed to be another look. Whatever I said, it was discovered early. If it is late, don't think of a good harvest this year.
Li Ya pulled Xiao Jihuan beside her and interrupted, "Isn't the White Bone Wasteland also next to the sea? Can't you draw water from the sea?"
Ji Thief didn't answer this question, but Ah Wei gave the answer.
"I can't do it, Lord Liya, at the beginning, the king said that if sea water is used, all the wheat will be killed, only the water in the river can be used."
Li Ya lowered her head and mumbled: "It's so troublesome. It's also a problem if it doesn't rain. It won't take long to use the water in the river."
Awei said: "It shouldn't be. Usually every year when the weather is hot, there will be more rain, and that's it."
"Then what if it doesn't fall this year, Awei, have you thought about what to do? What if all the wheat is dry before it rains?" Ji Zei asked.
Ah Wei stopped talking, maybe he should say, he didn't know what to say.
Ji Zei patted his hand: "The problem is still this. You should also know, Awei, that we are now transitioning from hunting to farming. If the drought prevents wheat from being harvested, what will be the consequences?"
Li Ya sighed: "That's easy, don't we just go back? Anyway, there are so many prey in the Tsuburaya Mountains."
"Sister, even if you let it go, don't the prey need to drink water? Don't our people need to drink water? When the drought comes, the water in the territory is exhausted, then there will be no place to cry."
Tushan’s simple voice came: "My lord, when you said this, I also remembered it. It seems that the river that passes through our valley has a lot of water. I can’t remember it. What you said seems to be a drought."
"When did you find it?" Ji Thief asked.
Tushan thought for a while: "One month? I still can't remember how long."
"Then you don't say it earlier."
"Didn't I think the people used too much water."
"Isn't this nonsense? That's living water. No matter how much water you use, it will be refilled. Forget it, it's useless to tell you so much."
"The king, according to what you said, what should we do?"
"Dig a well."
"Dig a well?"
The thief turned and pulled Usma up: "I came with Usma this time to solve the possible drought problem. If this problem cannot be solved, then there is no need to fight the Sun Tribe. Because drought alone can kill us of thirst."
While speaking, he had already returned to the cottage where Ah Wei temporarily lived in the Bone Wasteland.
Let the thief come in, Awei poured a glass of water for the thief: "The king, is there anything I can help?"
"Yes, I won’t talk about it in the evening. Tomorrow morning, you will lead us, let’s take a turn around the farmland and check the location of the well. First, it’s for watering during drought. The fields, secondly, are also needed by the people for daily drinking."
"Okay, then I will arrange tomorrow's work for the next deputy."
"Ok."
Speaking hard, Ah Wei turned around and went out.
As soon as he walked on his front foot, Uxma seemed to have something to say but couldn't say it.
The thief looked puzzled and asked him what's wrong.
Usma shook his head, hesitated for a long time, and said, "It's nothing, it's the king. I'm just wondering if the drought is in the seven territories under our control, or is it all?"
