As they were all farmers, Li Zheng naturally understood this principle. He replied, "I can measure the homestead for you right now. I will also distribute the wasteland to you today."

Su An Dong felt relieved when he heard this and said, "Then I'll trouble the village head. Come with me to measure the homestead now!"

Are you kidding! Of course, the sooner you measure, the better. The sooner you can choose a place you like. Su An Dong had already looked at the homestead before he came, and he had already chosen a place in his mind.

The village chief agreed and walked towards the homestead. In addition to the village chief himself, he called two more people.

On the way there, Su An Dong asked, "Village head, I wonder, if I want to open up more wasteland, what will happen to the extra wasteland?"

Li Zheng answered truthfully: "You can buy wasteland and then go back to reclaim it yourself. The price of wasteland is two taels per mu. Our area is vast and sparsely populated, and the government encourages people to reclaim wasteland, so the price is not expensive. However, you still have to pay 30% tax for the land you reclaim in the first three years."

Because of the wars in the past and the cold weather, the population here is much smaller than in the south. It is truly a vast land with few people. Otherwise, it would not be possible to accept refugees.

When Su An Dong heard that he didn't have to pay the full tax, he started to think about it.

Soon, they arrived at the place.

Su An Dong explained the situation of the homestead to the other families. The heads of the families followed the head of the village to watch him measure the homestead for the Su family.

The Su family was the first household to measure the homestead. At this time, they saw the advantage of acting first, as they could have the greatest choice in a limited area.

This residential land is closer to the northern mountain than the original village, and is located in the northeast of the original village.

Su An Dong chose a place in the southeast of the homestead. This place is on the edge, but it is convenient to enter and exit the village, and it is not on the main road out of the village. Su An Dong thought that he could open up a small road in the future, so that it would be convenient to leave the village. On the outer edge, he could avoid the people in the village as much as possible.

There is an open space to the south of the Su family, and at the end of the open space is a stream. To the east is a wasteland, not a homestead. So only the west and north of the Su family are homesteads.

After Su Andong finished his selection, the other seven households with Su Andong also hurried to choose a place.

At this time, the seven families no longer cared about being reserved or being polite to each other. They all rushed to be the first to choose. Everyone wanted to be closer to the Su family.

As early as yesterday, everyone saw the attitude of the village head and understood that the homestead would cost money. So the families who were short of money borrowed money from the Su family last night and wrote a promissory note. So now everyone has the money to buy the homestead.

Finally, the Zhao family lived to the west of the Su family and became neighbors with the Su family. Each family was a little embarrassed to compete with Zhao Huaixi, after all, they had been taken care of by Zhao Huaixi along the way. This child seemed to be very kind to everyone, and when she said it with a smile, others could not say no.

Next to the Zhao family, to the west of the Zhao family is the home of Zhou Lizheng. After all, he was the head of the village in the past, so he still has a say in front of everyone. To the north lives Li Chunsheng's home.

The remaining families also chose their homesteads. Except for Su Andong's family who bought two acres of homestead, Zhou Lizheng's family bought one and a half acres, and the other families bought one acre. Su Andong's group had finished choosing.

The place they chose was not what the other four families wanted, because the other four families all wanted to live closer to the village. This was good, because everyone got what they wanted.

After measuring the residential land for each family, the village head allocated wasteland to each family.

I have to say that this village head is a good person. He really didn't delay at all, and did everything he should do and said everything he should say.

After dividing the wasteland, Su Anton found the village head and bought the wasteland to the east of his home.

The reason why the wasteland has been left uncultivated is that the conditions of the wasteland are really bad. It is full of bushes and many stones. Because it is outside the village, there is also a lot of garbage piled up. That's why it has been left uncultivated, which is a good thing for Su Anton.

After buying this wasteland, Su Anton can build a small road out of the village on this land.

After purchasing the residential plots and dividing up the wasteland, each family finally settled down.

The next step is to solve the housing problem. Although the weather is warm now, it is not reasonable for people to live in the open air forever.

Su Anton led his group to build a simple shed so that they could live in it temporarily.

There was no other way. Su An Dong felt that farming was more important than building a house. The weather was not cold now, so he could live in the shed. But farming could not wait. It was past the farming season, so wheat and corn could not be planted. He could only plant potatoes and sweet potatoes, which had a shorter growth period.

The land we have allocated is still wasteland, and it takes time to reclaim it. We must not delay it any longer.

While Su Anton and his group were busy setting up sheds, some people had already moved into their houses.

It really proves the saying that "money makes things easier". The two families who rented houses in the village yesterday bought houses in the village today, spending a lot of money.

But they are rich, so they may not care about this little money at all. One of the two households is the family of the wealthy man, although he is no longer a wealthy man.

After Su An Dong and his group heard about this, they were very envious, but it was just envy. They didn't have that much money, and even if they had enough silver, they wouldn't be willing to spend such a high price. This shows that this gentleman is really rich!

In addition to these two families, there was another family that directly bought the shabby house where the elderly and children lived last night. Although the price was not cheap, it was much cheaper than the two families who bought houses in the village. After all, the house was shabby enough.

Su An Dong looked at the way these people spent money and realized that among the twelve families, the only ones without money were probably the seven families like himself. The other four families seemed to have plenty of money!

In this case, he doesn't have to worry so much. After all, there are people who don't hide their strength in front of him, so it shouldn't be a problem for him to spend some money. Moreover, everyone in the village knows that among these twelve families, except Su An Dong, who was chosen by the scholar himself, the other families came here with money.

Su An Dong told the Su family about his idea of ​​buying a cow and analyzed his thoughts. Although he was low-key as a newcomer, it was too much effort to open up wasteland without a cow. It would be better to open up a few more acres of wasteland and plant more crops!

The Su family naturally agreed when they heard this. Although they all understood that wealth should not be exposed, with the examples of those few families, the Su family was nothing.

Sure enough, the next day, before Su Anton went to buy cattle, the four families had already bought cattle. Two families bought two, one bought one. The former clerk was even more impressive, buying two cows and two mules.
