After being replaced, she changed from a miserable daughter-in-law to a lucky wife

Chapter 746 Water Level Drops

Xia Wanniang looked at Xu Li and asked, "I wonder what you are going to do next?"

"Now that the cotton production has increased, and with the things you grow, should I consider additional industries?" Xu Li looked at her.

Xia Wanniang thought for a moment and said, "You mean weaving?"

Xu Li nodded: "And your wool. Now that the number of sheep has increased, I also want to try the wool yarn you mentioned. There are really a lot of things to do."

Xia Wanniang: "If you put it that way, there are really a lot of things to do. By the way, is there anyone in charge of Zilin's fertilizer workshop?"

Xu Li: "Don't worry, he had already arranged for someone to take notes every day when he left. After each fertilizer was dried, it was packed into bags."

Xia Wanniang and Aunt Xiao still went to Xiao Zilin's fertilizer workshop to take a look. Every day, people would bring animal manure or various materials for making fertilizers here.

The retired veterans don't mind the stench here and live very comfortably.

Now after the fertilizer is made, fermented and dried, it will be packed in bags.

These fertilizers will be tested in their own fields and only put on sale in farm tool stores after they are successful.

Lai Fu and Qi Xi still followed her. Sometimes they would run out to play for a while, and when they were tired they would run back to stay with her for a while.

Aunt Xiao: "Mrs. Wan, isn't the rain too little this year?"

Xia Wanniang really didn't pay attention to the rain: "Mom, why do you ask that?"

Aunt Xiao pointed to the river next to her and said, "Look at the water level. It has obviously dropped a lot."

Xia Wanniang looked towards the river and lowered her voice a lot: "I'll write a letter to ask Master Xu."

They went to the rice fields that had been reclaimed before and took a look. They found that the water level on the river bank had indeed dropped a lot.

But there is enough water in the rice fields, and there is no drought.

Aunt Xiao and she went to other places to check on the condition of the crops. Although there was no drought yet, water trucks were still used to transport water into the rice fields.

"Mom, there might be a drought, but I don't know how long it will last." Xia Wanniang judged that there might be a drought.

Aunt Xiao: "You have done water conservancy work before. If it does not exceed three years, it should be able to guarantee the people's livelihood and grain production."

After Xia Wanniang came to the northwest, in addition to the Great Wall that she built at the beginning, she also built rivers and water conservancy projects.

The purpose is to prevent droughts and floods and provide more protection for the people.

Wu Hanyu didn't know if he was influenced by her, but he also built water conservancy projects in various states and regions, and had people clean up the sand and soil in the rivers that had been built before.

This will make the river flow more smoothly and avoid blockage.

There are no dams built on the rivers in the Northwest, but by utilizing the terrain and diversion methods, sufficient water can be supplied to the Northwest even in the dry season.

When there is a severe flood, the impact of the water flow can be reduced by diverting it, but this rarely happens in the northwest.

Xu Li's letter soon reached them: this year's rainfall was less than in previous years, but spring plowing had been completed in all places and there was no problem with the growth of crops.

Xia Wanniang felt a little relieved after seeing some news. If so, there should be no problem with this year's autumn harvest.

Aunt Xiao looked at the letter and said, "Mrs. Wan, what about other places in Daxia?"

"Let me write and ask." After saying this, Xia Wanniang wrote letters to other places to inquire about the situation in other parts of Daxia.

By the time she received the letter, the results were not so good. Some places suffered severe floods this year, while some places experienced drought.

She wanted to ask about Wu Hanyu's situation, but she had already received his letter.

There was a severe flood in the south of the Yangtze River this year, and there is a fear that all crops will be lost. In addition, the drought in the southwest is quite serious, and food has also become a problem.

He has already arranged people to go to provide disaster relief, and would like to ask her for help when the need arises.

Aunt Xiao looked at the news in her hand and said, "How could it be so serious?"

"Daxia is a large area, and the water conservancy project cannot be completed in a short time. It is normal to encounter such emergencies."

Aunt Xiao: "That's right. Sometimes places that are not prone to floods may also have sudden floods one year."
