Dressed as a family of cannon fodder, the villain brother is busy opening up wasteland

County Magistrate Chen listened to the conversation between father and daughter, and it took him a long time to react and said, "So you have an idea?"

Wen Xiuyi was a little embarrassed. He had really forgotten that he had too many things to take care of during this period.

"Ahem, I forgot about this."

County Magistrate Chen didn't care about this with him, and just said: "As long as there is a solution, as long as there is a solution." If he had known, he would have come to Wen Xiuyi earlier.

The carriage drove for almost an hour and finally arrived at Shanshu Village. Looking from a distance, the rolling mountains are closely connected. Even the air is much fresher than other places. Just sitting in the carriage and enjoying the wind makes me feel refreshed. of.

If it weren't for the age, this would definitely be a tourist attraction.

From a distance, the mountain is not steep, and you can even see many flat places. There are all kinds of trees on the mountain, including big trees and bamboo forests.

As the saying goes, if you rely on mountains and mountains, you must rely on water. Since God has given you this unique terrain, it naturally has its benefits.

The carriage stopped at the entrance of the village. Many people saw it and looked at them curiously. Mu Li sat on the carriage and did not get off. Instead, he said loudly: "Where is the village chief's home?"

The villagers were startled by his gesture and quickly pointed in the direction. Mu Li thanked him and drove the carriage straight to the village chief's house.

The villagers behind them looked at it curiously, and those who wanted to watch the fun followed them and peeked from a distance.

The village chief walked out of the house when he heard the sound of the carriage. Seeing the faces of the people getting off the carriage outside the wall, he quickly asked his family to prepare to receive the guests while he ran out.

"Two adults, why are you here?" The village chief of Shanshu Village was an old man about the same age as Old Man Wen. He greeted the two of them respectfully and saw a little girl coming down behind him.

Wen Xiuyi looked at him and said, "Village Chief Guo, I heard what Mr. Chen said, so I came to see if I can re-plan the industry for your village."

When the village chief heard this, his face lit up with joy, and he quickly invited a few people to sit in the house.

Wen Xiuyi waved his hand and refused: "Time is running out. Other villages have already started working. If you are the only one who refuses to move now, we won't go in. You can lead us around and take a look at the mountains. "

After hearing what he said, the village chief looked a little embarrassed and said: "Sir, it's not that we are uncooperative or unwilling to do it. You have also seen what we have been allocated. The other villages are all cultivated land. It accounts for most of it, but when it comes to our place, we are given these hills. What can we grow on these hills? Is it possible that we are required to level these hills?"

Wen Xiuyi glanced at him and finally understood what was wrong with County Magistrate Chen. This man seemed to be respectful, but he felt that their distribution was unfair. If he wanted them to work, he would first The land was divided among them.

Isn't this just cheating on them?

Wen Xiuyi didn't want to waste time in a place like this, so he said directly: "Village chief, please lead the way and take a look at the situation on the mountain."

Seeing that Wen Xiuyi was not getting along well, the village chief glanced at County Magistrate Chen secretly and found that Magistrate Chen was just talking to the little girl in the back without even looking at him, and he felt a little unsure.

The county magistrate may have been able to get this land by tricking him through hard work, but this, Village Chief Guo, has not had much contact with Wen Xiuyi, and does not understand his temperament, so he is at a loss for words. Yes, I could only respond respectfully and start leading the way.

He led them around the village, and then went up the mountain for a look. By the time they came down from the mountain, it was already dark, and the shoes on their feet were all covered in mud, and their expressions were full of exhaustion.

Seeing their appearance, Village Chief Guo began to cry miserably: "Two adults, you have also seen that these are all forests, and we can't plant anything."

Wen Xiuyi felt sorry for his daughter who had been climbing the mountain all afternoon, but he could not ignore Village Chief Guo. After all, they were here to solve the problem.

"Old village chief, this land has been allocated. Other villages have been allocated based on population. Moreover, your place is quite far away from other villages. If the land is allocated to you too far away, it will be inconvenient for you to work..."

Before Wen Xiuyi finished speaking, Village Chief Guo became anxious: "Sir, you can't be so unfair."

Wen Xiuyi: "Old village chief, don't worry, just listen to what I have to say. Although there is not much wasteland around your village, these forests of yours are treasures. If you use them well, the profits in a year will be absolute." It won’t be lower than those in other villages.”

Village Chief Guo was stunned: "Sir, are you serious?"

Wen Xiuyi nodded: "Of course it's true, I just have an idea of ​​what to do, and I will give you an accurate answer soon.

But old village chief, we are willing to help you improve your life and make money, but you can't make things difficult for me and Lao Chen, right?

The reason why we set up industries for each village is to promote new grains. For the sake of everyone's good life, the promotion of new grains is the intention of the imperial court and the will of His Majesty. If you delay in opening up wasteland, you will not be able to get new grains in the end. of grain, think about it, who will suffer in the end? "

Of course, Village Chief Guo knew who would suffer in the end.

The imperial court is willing to promote new grains. Once this new grains are grown, they will be able to have enough to eat. What's more, County Magistrate Chen and Wen Xiuyi have said that they are willing to give each of their villages a profitable livelihood, which will be counted as the collective industry of the village. , except for taxes, everything else they earn belongs to themselves.

But the premise of all this is that they cooperate with the court to grow new grains.

Now they feel that the division of cultivated land is unfair, so they have been delaying and refusing to open up wasteland. If the court really gives up on them in the end, then they will not even have a place to cry.

Originally, Village Chief Guo thought they could control the Yamen, but after Wen Xiuyi's words, he was stunned and poured water on him from head to toe, giving him a chill from the soles of his feet. He didn't dare to think that if they continued to make trouble, the Yamen would directly kill them. What will happen to them if the village is removed from the list of production teams?

By then there will definitely be no industry, and the new grain will not be able to take up part of it. All we can do is watch other villages eat the new grain and make money.

Village Chief Guo was frightened for a while and repeatedly promised that he would lead people to open up wasteland tomorrow and would never delay it for another day.

Wen Xiuyi nodded with satisfaction, and seeing that it was getting late, he and Magistrate Chen said goodbye and left.

Village Chief Guo, who wanted to understand the stakes, didn't wait for the next day. He went door-to-door in the dark and announced that land reclamation would begin tomorrow.

On the carriage ride back, County Magistrate Chen asked Wen Xiuyi, "Have you got an idea?"

Wen Xiuyi nodded: "You have also seen the situation on the mountain. Although it is a mountain forest, there is a lot of flat land on the mountain and the slope is not large. The forest on the mountain is lush and it is humid all year round. It is most suitable for growing various fungi. Wait until I go back Think about it and let them plant something.”

Wen Yao was exhausted. If it hadn't been for the fact that Magistrate Chen was also on the carriage, she would have lied down where she was. After hearing this, she followed: "We can also let them raise rabbits. We just went up the mountain and walked around a few times. I saw several rabbits, which means that this mountain is very suitable for rabbits to survive. The rabbit fur and rabbit meat are both good things."

Spicy rabbit head, I want to eat it.
