Chapter 376 The military plan
Regarding the origin of the spring water, I have a little guess from the perspective of God just now: the Valley of Silence itself is a mountainous area, and it is connected to the south by mountains; and the north and west are plains, and the camping location is just on the junction between the mountainous area and the plain.
Although the surface land is loose and weathered, the underground structure is composed of limestone. Long before this plain became a desert, there might also be magmatic rocks hidden under the soil. Therefore, the limestone in this mountain area was formed about hundreds of millions of years ago, and its texture is relatively pure. It is likely to tilt from south to north with an inclination of about 30° with the mountain.
The desert stretched out to the Silent Valley and was close to the range of the ocean. Although the water flow did not flow on the surface, it was hidden in the dark underground. It happened that the limestone itself was not very tight, with gaps, cracks and caves that could store and transport groundwater. When a large amount of groundwater flowed continuously to this valley along the slope of the limestone layer, it formed a green world independent of the desert shrubs.
The blue surging lines in my eyes are the manifestation of these water veins running through the ground. As I attacked at important nodes, the spring was easily discovered.
"What are you doing when you put water on! Stay there!"
The people on the body were shocked by this scene, and they actually let the precious water resources flow on the ground without cherishing it. You should know that although the groundwater content is high, with their own engineering technology, it is a fantasy to find the exact location for drilling wells. How dare they waste these precious water?
Under the influence of his characteristics, Erwuzai's boss quickly reacted and was about to order his subordinates to pick him up with a basin, but he found that we were poor and poor when we arrived at this place. He wanted to tighten his belt and didn't even have a belt to use!
But at this time, the bald man's super high mental resistance played a role, his brain started to run at high speed, and he immediately thought of a solution.
"Don't panic! Dig a pool immediately and store the water!"
As soon as the bald man said, it was no less than a thunderbolt in the clear sky, awakening everyone who saw the water source sinking into the aura of wisdom. He immediately picked up the tools available around him, and even started digging with his bare hands. He quickly dug out a reservoir along the water outlet.
However, the spring water gushing from the bottom of the pond had no intention of decline during this period. It continued to gush out from the ground and turned into a rushing wave, making people unconsciously cry when they saw it, throwing out the two coins in their hands and quitting the webpage.
"Don't waste it! You go to the side to get water and wash your hair and take a shower, and fill the kettle with you! But if I find out that I put my feet into the pool, I will have analectomy on the spot!"
Eaton issued the second command with a loud voice, ordering some survivors to continue to expand the pool and some to wash in a circle, so as to apply water resources to the extreme.
The picture behind is so eye-catching, and I am not interested in describing it. The image is probably equivalent to the Indians who have not touched water for thirty years and we are having a great wedding today, and everyone is ready to rub a layer of skin.
Just leave these small matters to my subordinates, and I have more important things.
………
To develop here, we must have water and food.
There are more than 100 people and more than 20 livestock, and the daily consumption of people eating horses and chewing every day is an amazing number. If you don’t plan it carefully, you may not be able to survive the first harvest season.
My current idol, Boss Cao, has also encountered this situation.
I remember that when Boss Cao came to Qingzhou to start his own business, the first pot of gold he won was to conquer the Yellow Turban Army that was causing trouble in Qingzhou. These people were very popular, but in fact they were just a bunch of farmers who could not survive.
If they don’t care about them, these people will soon have no food to make trouble and affect local development. If they provide relief, they will not be able to provide so much food to raise these thugs who have seen blood. What’s even worse is that at this time, there is no way to spare time to organize households and people, and stabilize the country.
So the method that Boss Cao chose was military camp!
Military garrisons are a policy of "combining troops with agriculture". Cao Cao talked about military garrisons as follows: "The technique of establishing a country is to strengthen the army and have enough food. The Qin people used urgent farming to combine the world, and Xiaowu used farming to settle the Western Regions. This is a good style of the previous generations."
As long as refugees are organized to reclaim land, exempt them from renting, and provide agricultural production tools, their enthusiasm for production can be greatly improved - military garrison is the most suitable method for me at present.
Of course, I have no way to provide oxen now, so I can only solve the problem with their manpower. But I can provide convenience for their farming, which is far beyond their imagination!
"Item Name: Barley
Item introduction: A strong grain that can be immune to blight, which can be used to cook food and make wine. Barley straw is soft and is mostly used as livestock grass and is also used in large quantities as roughage.

In my spare time waiting for the battle report, I visited the vast plantation in Shisongzhuang and checked the plants planted in one by one with the colonists system. Most of them were unique local agricultural plants, such as local lentils, millet, corn, and cassava. Most of them had low yields and short cycles. The only advantage may be that they are drought-tolerant and disease-tolerant, which is not recognized in the colonists system.
Finally I lived here and found the two useful plants mentioned above, and collected two bags of plants and stuffed them into the bags, so that the horses could carry them all the way back here.
These two crops can form a complete industrial chain. The climate adaptability of barley itself is stronger than that of other plants, but the growth cycle is shorter among cereal crops, and it can also be cultivated on this slope where the growth season is very short. The yield of native barley is lower, and its ability to resist dry heat is stronger than that of other small crops. It can be sown in the near desert areas in autumn.
However, these shortcomings have been solved in front of the colonizer system. Although the growth cycle is longer than that of rice after transformation, it has been shortened to one week, and the yield has increased significantly!
Hops are essential for brewing, giving beer qualities - charming bitterness and refreshing aroma.
Hops act as a preservative. Before pasteurization, beer that does not place hops can rarely be stored for more than two weeks, and can easily rot or become sour. After adding hops, quality can be ensured for several years.
As long as I have these two plants, I can make money every day, and I can get enough food and clothing. I rely on my fist products to create a market and completely establish a good economic system.
