Lord of the People: I rely on cheating for hegemony

Chapter 214 Torrential Rain
Since midnight, the sky island has been filled with thunder and lightning, and the torrential rain has continued.

The next morning, Qu Mao and Su Yan woke up to the sound of crackling rain. They walked to the door of the fourth-story brick house and looked outside. It was raining like pouring.

Su Yan said with a smile: "My lord, it hasn't rained in our territory for more than half a year. You just talked about the reservoir on the empty island yesterday, and it immediately rained heavily. The subordinates don't know what to say. "

Qu Mao said helplessly: "Su Yan, it's raining so much today, I don't know if I can go to the outlying island smoothly."

At this time, a man with a straw on his head rushed towards the fourth-story brick house in the pouring rain. Qu Mao and Su Yan hurriedly let the door of the fourth-story brick house open.

Franklin King threw away the straw at the door and squeezed into the four-story brick house. His whole body was wet, as if he had just been fished out of the water. Obviously, the straw on his head did not play a role in protecting him from the rain.

Squeezing the moisture out of his clothes, Franklin King said: "My lord, the leader of the watchtower has reported that there is a storm on the sea, and the ship cannot sail.

My lord, my lord Su Yan, I'm afraid you two won't be able to go to outlying islands today, I didn't expect the weather to change as soon as it changes. "

Qu Mao said: "It's okay, Franklin, hurry up and change your clothes, don't catch a cold."

Franklin Jin glanced outside the house with lingering fear, squeezed the water out of his clothes vigorously, and said, "It's all right, my lord, let me go back when the rain lessens."

Qu Mao spread out his hands and said, "Unfortunately, I don't have any clothes in my backpack, but the robe I'm wearing was made by Su Yan."

Franklin King said: "My lord, I have clothes at home, I will go back and change them later."

Qu Mao said helplessly: "Oh, it seems that Su Yan and I are trapped on the empty island, and we can only go to the outlying island after the rain stops and the sky clears.

With such a heavy rain on the empty island, the outlying island probably won't be sunny, but I don't know if the dam project of the Lihe reservoir will be affected.

Our pastures on the empty island are all planted on a thin layer of silt, and the pastures are not deeply rooted. Such a heavy rain may wash away the pastures we have successfully planted, alas!

Of course, rain is not a bad thing, you can see if our reservoir has been successfully filled with water.

Of course, I don’t know if we can use the rain to spread some pasture seeds to increase our pasture planting area. "

Su Yan looked at the rain curtain outside the house, and said: "Sir, I'm afraid it won't work with such a heavy rain, the seeds will be washed away by the rainstorm before they have time to germinate.

Hey, who is here again? "

I saw a man in animal skins stumbling towards the four-story brick house in the rain.

Later, the man walked into the fourth-story brick house and lifted the animal skin off his body. It turned out to be the village chief Wang Mao.

"My lord, my lord Su Yan, my subordinates have brought you breakfast." Village head Wang Mao took out four corns wrapped in animal skins from his bosom, and handed them to Qu Mao and Su Yan.

Qu Mao glanced at the animal skin Wang Mao put at the door, and immediately took out two animal skins from his backpack, handed them to Franklin King, and said, "Master Franklin, go to the room and change your wet clothes. I'm really worried that you've caught a cold, so let's put on animal skin first."

"Yes, my lord!" Franklin King took the animal skin touched, walked into the room, changed his clothes, and walked out wrapped in the animal skin.

Qu Mao repeated the old story and asked Wang Mao and Franklin King if there was any possibility of using rainy days to sow pasture. After all, Kongdao Yicun had not expanded the scope of pasture planting before, because watering was too laborious.

Several people chatted for a while, Qu Mao found some inspiration from the corn cobs he ate, and said, "Can we mix the seeds into the soil and throw them on the empty island while it's raining?

For example..."

Qu Mao took out a bag of forage seeds from his backpack, inserted the two ends of the eaten corn cobs with chopsticks, then threw a few forage seeds in each, blocked the two ends with the corn kernels that fell on the ground, and threw them towards the Outside the door of the four-story brick house.

Franklin Jin and Wang Mao looked at each other, and Su Yan was also dumbfounded by Qu Mao's operation.

Qu Mao rolled his eyes and said, "Do we have dry soil?"

Wang Mao said: "My lord, there is probably no light rain in the folding space, but you can consider going there to get some dry soil out."

Qu Mao asked again: "Then, do we leave firewood and ashes when cooking in Yicun?"

Franklin King said: "My lord, the plant ash must be kept. It is a key ingredient in our mixed farmyard manure."

Qu Mao said: "Damn! That's fine, I have an idea." Then Qu Mao took out four animal skins and distributed one to everyone.

Wrapped in animal skins, the four walked out of the fourth-story brick house, and walked into the smaller folding space.

Sure enough, as Wang Mao said, there was no rain in the folding space, and the rain outside did not pour into the folding space.

Qu Mao said: "Master Wang Mao, arrange for two leaders to bring a cart of plant ash here. Remember to cover the small cart with animal skins so that the plant ash does not get wet."

When the villagers came in with a cart of plant ash, Qu Mao instructed the leaders to mix the same amount of soil, then took out four packs of pasture seeds, sprinkled them on the mixture, and asked the leaders to mix them evenly.

Afterwards, Qu Mao asked the leaders to bring in two more empty small carts, and loaded them with the mixture of plant ash mixed with seeds, and loaded four carts in full.

Qu Mao walked around each of the four small carts, opened one side of the railing by about one centimeter, and said: "When the rain is a little bit lighter, order the leaders to push these four small carts. Turn around the empty island and let the mixture fall to the ground along the gap. Of course, when pushing, you must cover the small cart with the animal skin.

Otherwise, after the mixture is wetted by rain, it cannot leak down smoothly. "

Franklin King had been watching Qu Mao finish all this, and suddenly gave a thumbs up, saying: "Your Excellency, you are brilliant! This method of sowing seeds has never been heard of by the subordinates, but if you think about it carefully, there is still a high success rate, provided that The rain should be less."

Wang Mao also praised: "Your Excellency is really amazing. This kind of setting prevents the citizens from working in the rain, and they only need to push the small carts to walk.

We can even fasten the small slit of this baffle now, and it will not be too late to pull it apart when we want to sow seeds. "

However, there is no sign of rain now, so the four-car mixture can only be temporarily placed in a small folding space, and cannot be rolled out for experiments for the time being.

Su Yan said: "Since the two of you think it's feasible, you can take advantage of the light rain and the citizens resting at home to prepare more of this mixture."

Franklin King immediately arranged for the leaders to do the same, and asked Wang Mao at the same time: "Village Chief Wang Mao, when you delivered meals to Sir and Su Yan, did you see the pasture we planted experimentally washed away by the heavy rain?"

Wang Mao said: "Island Master, how is it possible?

Because the adults taught us at that time to surround the abandoned quarry with small stones. At that time, it was just to prevent the silt from flowing to other places, resulting in insufficient silt thickness for planting grass.

Now it seems that the circle of small stones is very effective. Although the pastures in our seven pasture planting experiments were washed up and down, none of the pastures was washed out of the place surrounded by the circle of small stones. "

The cheating system prompts: "It's a surprise, the rookie host's bastard idea actually gives extra help to the people, and rewards 10 cheating points as encouragement."

Qu Mao was stunned for a moment, remembering that when he first thought of this idea, the cheating system had already rewarded the cheating value once, saying that it helped the leaders solve technical problems.

With this precedent, it may be possible to use plant ash to mix soil, and then mix seeds to sow pasture. If the effect is achieved, the cheating system will definitely continue to reward cheating points.

The heavy rain was still falling, so it was impossible for Qu Mao to wait for the rain to subside and take the leaders to sow seeds in person, throwing all the pasture seeds in the backpack to Franklin King, Qu Mao took Su Yan, each wrapped in animal skins, and then returned to the four villages. Step brick houses, there will always be a time when the heavy rain stops, and that time is when the pasture is sown,

It's just that after Qu Mao returned to the fourth-story brick house, he stayed there for three days and four nights. It wasn't until the fourth morning that the heavy rain gradually turned to light rain and stopped slowly.

When Qu Mao and Su Yan didn't need to walk out of the four-story brick house wrapped in animal skins, Franklin Jin and Wang Mao had organized the leaders to sow all the mixture prepared in the past few days in small carts all over the sky island. In three days, Franklin Jin and Wang Mao mixed hundreds of cars of the mixture, which naturally covered the entire Sky Island.

At noon, Franklin King found Qu Mao and said: "My lord, every corner of the empty island, except for the place where water still flows to the sea, has been sprinkled with a mixture of plant ash and soil. There are pastures in this mixture." seed."

Qu Mao nodded and asked, "How is the reservoir?"

Franklin King said: "My lord, the four pools are full.

However, you only have half a day after your reminder, and you are digging slopes on the hard rock walls, so now the walls of the four reservoirs have not been rectified, just like the four wells.

The village chief Wang Mao was worried that the residents who pushed the carts to plant grass would accidentally have an accident, so he specially marked the risks. "

Qu Mao shook his head with a wry smile, and said, "Then your follow-up reconstruction project will have to be postponed, and the project can only be continued after the water in the reservoir evaporates.

However, the requirements may not be so strict, a slight excavation of a gentle slope is enough, and the place where the water is full does not matter. "

"Yes, my lord! The subordinates will arrange it immediately." Franklin King said.

Qu Mao said: "Well, arrange to go.

If the weather turns better in the afternoon, Master Su Yan and I will go to the outlying islands. It has been raining heavily for the past few days, and I am still not at ease about the dam project of the Lihe Reservoir. "

Franklin King said: "Well, my lord, I will go to the civilian dock immediately to confirm the sailing situation of the sea-going ship."
