Jiang Tian transmigrated to the Great Xia Dynasty and was immediately met with a drought that had lasted for many years. The county magistrate, in order to pray for rain from the Dragon King, prepa...
Jiang Tian rode a fast horse and rushed straight to the farmland at the entrance of the village.
We arrived at the edge of the fields.
Many farmers saw Jiang Tian arrive.
They all put down what they were doing.
These farmers rushed towards Jiang Tian without regard for anything else.
"The Dragon King has arrived..."
"The Dragon King has arrived..."
“Your Majesty, we have never seen anything like this before. The seed has grown more than two inches tall in just over a day since it was planted.”
Jiang Tian dismounted and walked into a wheat field.
The wheat seedlings have already grown seven or eight centimeters.
In just one day, the wheat seedlings have grown so vigorously.
Could this be thanks to the well?
"System, what's going on?"
[Host, your system farm is producing one crop a day. You've brought the system's well into the real world.]
These crops are irrigated with a system of well water and mature in one month.
It matures in one month; that's simply incredible.
This means that the fruit can ripen twelve times a year.
These seeds have low yields; an acre of land can only yield a little over 200 jin of wheat.
However, it matures 12 times a year.
The wheat yield from this one acre can reach two to three thousand catties a year.
In this era, the population was sparse and the land was abundant.
With a continuous supply of well water, the enthusiasm of the people for reclaiming wasteland and cultivating the land has generally increased.
"Dragon King, we kowtow to you..."
“Your Majesty, we have never seen such a sight before. If it continues to grow at this rate, the wheat will probably be ripe in less than a month.”
"This means that we can harvest more than ten times a year."
Before the drought, the local people were able to produce food twice a year.
The output each time is not high.
Aside from the grain they handed over to the government and village chief Gao Jun, the remaining food was far from enough to feed themselves.
Now it's all right.
There's so much grain that we can't possibly eat it all.
"Fellow villagers, work hard to cultivate the land." Jiang Tian waved to the people, signaling them to stand up. "From now on, you won't have to worry about going hungry."
These people have experienced the taste of hunger.
They regarded Jiang Tian as a god.
What will they be asked to do in the future? How dare they not do anything?
Jiang Tian turned around and glanced at Luo Xiaohu.
Where is Dian Wei?
Luo Xiaohu chuckled: "General Dian Wei is indeed no ordinary man."
"How are things between him and that female bandit now?"
"They'd been up all night, and they rested for half an hour just before dawn. When I arrived, they were up again."
"General Dian Wei is exceptionally brave. It's clear that they won't leave Black Dragon Stronghold for at least three days and three nights."
Wow... Jiang Tian was genuinely impressed.
The ancient evil Lai truly lived up to his reputation.
...
Jiang Tian hitched up a horse-drawn carriage.
He took Li Xue'er and Li Fei'er and headed straight for Bailuhu Village.
Bailuhu Village and Taohua Village are more than 20 miles apart.
There used to be a lake in this village.
Every summer, many egrets fly in from afar.
This place is named Bailuhu Village.
After three years of drought, Egret Lake has dried up.
Several hundred kilograms of grain, a calf, and two slaughtered sheep were placed on the carriage.
Two girls, Li Xueer and Li Feier, were sitting in the carriage.
"Brother, thank you so much."
"I never expected you would bring my sister and me back to your parents' home."
"There's nothing to thank me for, isn't this what I should do?" Jiang Tian suddenly cracked his whip.
The carriage rode forward.
The fields in Peach Blossom Village are lush and green.
In the distance, Bailuhu Village is desolate, with cracked earth.
A gust of wind blew by, and dust flew up.
The bodies of people who fled famine and begged for food can still be found by the roadside from time to time.
Those who weren't quite dead yet were surrounded by several wild dogs.
These stray dogs have lost all interest in the dead.
Several stray dogs were biting and tearing at the man's arms and legs.
This poor man is on his deathbed.
He was being torn apart by wild dogs and had no ability to resist, not even to scream in pain.
Jiang Tian cracked his whip and charged towards the stray dogs.
The wild dogs were not afraid of Jiang Tian; instead, they bared their fangs and howled at him.
To these stray dogs, Jiang Tian was someone trying to steal their food.
"These beasts." Jiang Tian drew his bow and fired arrows at the wild dogs.
These wild dogs are no match for a compound bow.
In the blink of an eye.
Of the five stray dogs, one escaped, and the remaining four all died on the spot.
Jiang Tian jumped down from the carriage.
He walked up to the passerby and reached out to touch him.
The man was already dead, and his entire body was covered in blood.
"These dogs are absolutely despicable." Jiang Tian threw all four dogs into the car.
Half an hour later.
The carriage entered Bailuhu Village.
"Where is your home, girls?"
"The second to last house on the west side of the village."
Jiang Tian nodded: "We'll be home soon."
Before even reaching the homes of the two girls, Li Xue'er and Li Fei'er, they could hear bursts of angry curses from afar.
"You two old geezers, you have nothing and you can't do anything right."
"You've lived to such an old age, what use are you besides eating idle food?"
"If I were you, I would have already hung myself from the roof beam with a rope and died."
