Chapter 76

Where the original Changhe Village was located, only one military camp and three thatched huts remained, and everything else was silent.

Ten miles away from here.

Driven by the crowd, the oxen took heavy steps and dragged the heavy plow across the wasteland.

A straight line appeared in front of his eyes, followed by the tumbling soil, which heavily crushed the weeds to the ground.

Although the season for sowing was over, clearing the wasteland was still a matter of great importance.

Looking up, a large area of ​​wasteland has been reclaimed, and it can be expected that Changhe Village will have a bumper harvest in the coming year.

"Unexpectedly, I can drive oxen and plow fields in my life"

"Chaohu, this is a wasteland on the edge of Chaohu Lake, the soil is very fertile."

"Honey, bring me some hot water"

"This man's legs and feet are not good when he is old, otherwise he can cultivate more fertile fields today"

The voice rang in the ear, Jia Nian and Guo Dapang stood not far away looking at these busy figures, feeling a little emotional in their hearts.

"Liu Ye is really a man of gods, to have conjured up so many farm cattle!" Fatty Guo clicked his tongue as he looked at the cattle.

Jia Nian nodded solemnly. You must know that farm cattle are a strategic material in this era, and they are things that cannot be bought with money: "Forty cattle, could Liu Ye take all the cattle in Shouchun City?" get it here"

"How do you think Liu Ye borrowed it?" Guo Dapang asked gossipingly.

Jia Nian also showed puzzled eyes: "I don't know, every time he talks about a topic, he always avoids it cleverly."

"Hey" Fatty Guo let out a sigh.

Looking at Guo Dapang's frowning face, Jia Nian replied with a smile: "Don't think too much, you should know that this is the royal family."

"That's right, now that the Han Dynasty still has some prestige, the status of the imperial family is naturally a bit more dignified." Hearing Jia Nian's words, Fatty Guo sighed with emotion.

Jia Nian changed the topic: "Guess how much wasteland Liu Ye plans to reclaim?"

"How much?" Fatty Guo asked.

Jia Nian raised two fingers and waved them in front of Fatty Guo, quite proud in his heart.

"2000 mu?" Fatty Guo was shocked.

Seeing Jia Nian shaking his head again, Guo Dapang showed suspicious eyes, and cautiously probed: "Could it be 20000 mu?"

"It is planned to reclaim 5000 mu in each direction, southeast, northwest, and each direction." Jia Nian was a little proud.

Fatty Guo took a deep breath: "With the financial resources of the village, can we support us to cultivate so many fertile fields?"

"Of course we don't have that much money in our village," Jia Nian said in a very bachelor.

Guo Dapang exclaimed: "If you don't have money, why do you still do this? You must know that the land is not reclaimed and it is over, and there are many things behind it."

"Liu Ye said that I don't need to bother. He will borrow the money he needs in the name of the village. After the next year's harvest, he will return it in full." Jia Nian's tone was a little complicated. Is this the difference between the rich and the poor? ?

Well, it turns out that he was a poor man, and he fought for a huge sum of 150 gold. As a result, Liu Ye got a big deal of tens of thousands of gold as soon as he got started.

The land in Chaohu Lake is fertile land, and the price of one mu of land is more than 1 gold. Although it is in chaos now, it will not be lower than 1 gold.

Calculated according to the market price, 2 mu is about 2 gold.This is also the reason why Zheng Bao misses Chaohu so much.

With a huge farmland, there will be a stable income and a stable rear.Of course, this actually has a huge hidden danger.For example, those water thieves are a deadly threat.

It is not easy to open up a large-scale farmland, it is not easy to plant crops, and it is even more difficult to protect it.

After all, it is impossible to build all those farmlands on the city wall, and bankruptcy is the only result if this continues.

"What if it's not up yet?" Fatty Guo asked along the words.

Jia Nian gave him a meaningful look, letting him experience it for himself.

"..." Fatty Guo was speechless for a moment.

Looking at the busy figures around, Jia Nian sighed softly: "Now I'd better think about how to solve the tasks on my body."

"What mission?" Fatty Guo asked back.

Pointing to those busy figures, Jia Nian explained: "How to ensure that our farmland will not be invaded by water thieves?"

"Especially when the harvest is about to be harvested," Jia Nian added.

Fatty Guo thought for a while: "Didn't Liu Ye say that? Incorporate Baifan Water Bandit"

"Incorporating the White Sail Thief years ago means that we need to work hard." Guo Dapang said slowly, and then changed the topic: "But this matter seems to be in a hurry."

"That's why I'm troubled," Jia Nian replied.

Although I have confidence in the plan to incorporate the White Sail Pirates, but it is one thing to have confidence, and another thing to actually do it.

Although the current Changhe Village has survived the most difficult period without any danger, it has more than 100 old and weak women and children.But even if all the young and strong in the village are trained as soldiers, there are only [-] of them.

With a hundred soldiers as the force in the village, plus the old and weak women and children in his hands, he still has a guilty conscience to recruit the White Sail Bandit with this as a bargaining chip.

After all, there are [-] Baifan water thieves, and [-] of them are the core.Before their core strength is hit hard, they cannot pose a threat at all.If you act hastily, you will definitely become a thorn in the flesh.Not only is it impossible to succeed, but there is a danger of losing the foundation.

At that time, although Chaohu Lake is big, it will be difficult to have a place to stay.There is no other way but to exit the copy in a bleak manner.

Jia Nian thought of the scene where Liu Ye proposed a plan to reclaim fertile land a few days ago.If I said boldly and ambitiously that I would do my best to solve the safety problem and promise to incorporate Baifan Water Village within a year, I regretted it a bit.

But what you say is always responsible, even if there are major difficulties, you have to grit your teeth and overcome them.

Fatty Guo also thought of what happened that day, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he patted Jia Nian's shoulder sympathetically: "Don't worry, I've counted the time, that guy Zheng Bao will definitely jump out this year. When the two sides kill each other, both sides will suffer, and that is the time for us to reap the benefits of the fisherman."

"Xuan" Jia Nian spit out this word heavily, looked around, and gritted his teeth: "There is no turning back when you open the bow. Now that we have reclaimed fertile land, we can only firmly believe that we can complete this almost impossible task."

"Actually, I think it was Liu Ye's problem that day." Fatty Guo tried his best to reply to the situation of the discussion that day, and subconsciously sighed: "If he hadn't boasted that the reclamation of fertile land was so beautiful, we would not have been deceived. Of course, this matter You told me the matter afterwards, otherwise I would have objected."

Guo Dapang showed an embarrassed expression when he said this, he seemed to be busy that day.

Well, I'm really busy.

"Actually, what he said is correct. If you want to cultivate in time for next year's planting season, you have to work overtime now to reclaim the farmland." Jia Nian paused for a while when he said this: "Chaohu Lake is fertile, and it is a fertile land. The yield per mu It can reach ten stones, that is, ten dendrobium. Since all the materials for reclamation and sowing are provided by the village, half of these grains can be confiscated according to the agreement. We can also harvest tens of thousands of dendrobium grains.”

"Besides, 2 mu is just a conservative estimate, and the harvest may be even more. In this troubled world, there is food, and only then can we have the confidence to speak up," Jia Nian replied firmly.
