Traveling through ancient times to escape famine, the prince led me to rebel

Autumn, a season between summer and winter.

From time to time, you will get a few days of summer heat, making you feel like autumn has not yet arrived.

But people who are busy harvesting peanuts, corn and sowing wheat in the fields all know that this is the harvest season.

However, in a month or so at most, the temperature will drop sharply, allowing you to experience the cold and bleak autumn wind.

By then, you will worry whether you can withstand the coming cold winter in the north.

Therefore, the house must be built before winter comes. This was what Luo Xiaoran had planned from the beginning.

Early in the morning, Village Chief Zhang knocked on Luo Xiaoran's door while she and Luo Xingchen were having breakfast.

When I opened the door, I saw that the village chief had his left hand in his right sleeve, and his right hand in his left sleeve, with a food box fastened between the two sleeves.

"Miss Luo, I'm here to return the lunch box. By the way, let me tell you that we will meet at my house in about an incense stick of time. I will take you to measure the land."

Seeing Luo Xiaoran coming to open the door with a bowl of porridge in her hand, the village chief postponed the time of measuring the land.

Luo Xiaoran agreed quickly: "My brother and I will go there after breakfast." Thank you for the village chief's consideration.

The dividing line between Hexi Village and Hedong Village is a river called Dandan River.

When she first heard the name, Luo Xiaoran couldn't help but ask, "Is eating noodles popular here?" She wanted to eat Dandan noodles.

The Dandan River flows out from the mountain stream behind the two villages. It is very clear. The mountain is called Baobao Mountain.

The arable land that Luo Xiaoran chose was next to the already reclaimed farmland in the village, but the residential land for building the house was the place closest to Baobao Mountain in the entire village.

Village chief Zhang was hesitant to express his opinion about the residential land chosen by Luo Xiaoran, which is located by the Dandan River and in front of the Baobao Mountain.

Although some people in the village go to the mountains to hunt, they always walk on the periphery and have never been to the deepest part of the mountains. There are deep mountains and wild forests there, and there must be large beasts.

If a wild beast came down the mountain and entered the village, Luo Xiaoran would be the first to suffer.

In response to this, Luo Xiaoran said: Village chief, don’t worry, you have no idea how solid my courtyard wall will be in the future.

Finally, a total of 15 acres of wasteland were enclosed and used as agricultural land.

The reason why they circled more was because Luo Xiaoran found out that the farmland in Hexi Village, depending on its fertility, produced 100 to 200 kilograms of grain per mu, which was completely not on the same order of magnitude as modern grain output.

Luo Xiaoran, who had experienced the end of the world and suffered from hunger every day, of course decided to enclose as much land as possible and grow as much food as possible.

When he first arrived, he reclaimed 15 acres of wasteland. After he had established a firm foothold in Hexi Village, he moved towards the big goal of 50 acres or 500 acres.

One acre is enough to build a house.

Just kidding, one acre of land is 667 square meters, which is rounded off to 700 square meters, which can fully meet all of Luo Xiaoran's ideas.

Now that the land has been purchased, the next step is to reclaim it immediately so as not to miss the sowing period for winter wheat.

The house had to be built immediately and we had to move into it before winter.

Just do it!

Luo Xiaoran asked the village chief to spread the news that she was recruiting land reclamation workers and house builders in the village.

In the afternoon, a long queue formed in front of the rental house.

The people at the back craned their necks and stood on tiptoe to see why the people in front hadn't come out yet.

The person in front, uh, the person in front has not entered Luo Xiaoran’s house yet.

Because the land purchase went very smoothly in the morning, Luo Xiaoran felt relieved and had a good nap with Luo Xingchen at noon.

Unexpectedly, when I woke up, I was blocked at the door by the enthusiastic villagers of Hexi Village.

The scene was much more dramatic than the afternoon when she first arrived in Hexi Village.

It’s true what the saying goes: Although watching the fun is part of human nature, profit is what drives people more.

Luo Xiaoran opened the door and greeted everyone.

“Thank you for your help, fellow villagers. I need to recruit 30 people to reclaim wasteland. If you perform well, I can continue to employ you to grow food in the future.

In addition, I also need to recruit some house builders and carpenters. "

In ancient times, reclaiming wasteland was a slow process.

The first thing to do is to pick up the large and small stones on the wasteland, the second is to remove the wild flowers and weeds on the ground, and then to turn the soil loose. Finally, Luo Xiaoran also wants to apply "fertilizer" to the land.

Therefore, Luo Xiaoran recruited thirty people, and each group of two was responsible for reclaiming one acre of land. Within three days, all fifteen acres of land could be reclaimed.

For these thirty people, Luo Xiaoran tried her best to select young and middle-aged people from different families. Of course, people like Sanhe were not within her consideration.

The inspiration this incident gave to Sanhe is: Don't try to bully a stranger, especially a female stranger who is rich, beautiful, and powerful.

"30 coins per person per day. Open up the acre of land I allocated to you within three days. If the work is done well, we can continue to cooperate and sign a long-term contract for the planting and harvesting of grain."

Thirty cents a day!

Three days is ninety cents!

They went to the provincial capital to do odd jobs, and at best they could only earn a little over twenty cents a day.

Now, I don’t have to go all the way to the city. I can work in my own village and earn more. It’s simply pie in the sky!

Ignoring the many villagers who were not selected, the 30 men from Hexi Village who were selected were all very excited.

They cherished the opportunity given to them by Luo Xiaoran, and each of them tried their best to perform well.

Reclaiming wasteland is just a one-time job. If you perform well, you can sign a contract and have work to do every year and make money. That is a long-term job!

They are simple, but not stupid! Of course, they have to perform well and try to be hired by Luo Xiaoran!

As for the craftsmen who built the house, there was no need to choose, because the same company was used by people from all over the area - a construction team of ten people.

The leader was Village Chief Zhang’s brother-in-law, Wang Dandan from Xinghua Village.

His sister, the wife of the village chief of Hexi Village, is called Wang Baobao.

It is said that their father was a peddler who traveled the streets and often came to Hexi Village to do business.

Because she could not read or write, she did not give the child a formal name after the birth of the child, and always called him Dani or Erdan.

Later, he became annoyed by his wife's nagging, so he stole the names of Dandan River and Baobao Mountain and gave his own child a name, thinking that having the same name as the mountain and the river would gain the protection of the mountain god and the water god.

As expected, the eldest daughter, Wang Baobao, married into Hexi Village, a place many unmarried girls want to marry into, and her husband is the village chief of Hexi Village.

The second son also formed a construction team with his smart mind and hard-working spirit.

But their old father was so proud that he said his children's names were not chosen wrongly and that they were blessed by the gods, otherwise how could a peddler like him raise such proud children.

People with skills are popular everywhere.

Wang Dandan was directly invited into the yard by Luo Xiaoran and came to the stone slab where Luo Xiaoran drew the sketch of the house.

Luo Xiaoran explained in detail the configuration of her house and some precautions.

Of course, she didn't expect Wang Dandan to understand everything at once. After all, she didn't even give him a formal drawing, only a large stone slab.
