Through the troubled times and famine, I just want to farm peacefully

"This isn't right! It's such a waste of time!"

Lin Yinan's cold voice sounded from behind the crowd.

Yun Mo quickly stood up and helped her in, and the crowd automatically made way for her.

The villagers of Linjia Village are not surprised by this. In their eyes, Lin Yinan is bold, careful, smart and capable.

Wu Xingwang, Wu Xu and others were a little confused. The men were discussing something, so why did she, a woman, come here to interfere?

Lin Yinan stood on the steps in front and glanced at the people below. She then shifted her gaze to Lin Qingxiang.

"Uncle Xiang, how many acres of land did your family cultivate before?"

Although Lin Qingxiang didn't know why she asked this, he thought for a moment and answered, "At least ten acres."

"Ten acres is considered a small amount. At that time, every household in Linjia Village was required to plant more than ten acres of land." The village chief knew this best.

Lin Yinan smiled slightly, "Uncle Village Chief, now we have to cultivate the land and build houses. When do you think we can live in houses?"

"There's no rush for the house. We can just build a shack to make do. The most important thing is to grow crops." Someone said.

"This is the south, and it rains at any time. It's okay to live in a shack for a short period of time, but if it lasts for a long time, not to mention the elderly and children, even adults can't stand it," Lin Yinan reminded.

Sitting on a big rock, Lao Lintou puffed on a cigarette made of leaves, frowning, "Village chief, we used to grow wheat in the north, but now in the south, I'm afraid we can't grow wheat in this weather."

A word can awaken a person from a dream. As soon as Old Lin finished speaking, the villagers of Linjia Village and farmers like Wu Xu who made a living by farming suddenly panicked.

"Chief, if we don't grow wheat, what should we grow? Rice?"

"Where can I buy the rice seeds?"

“How should rice be planted?”

"..."

Lin Yinan turned to look at Yun Yu who was standing beside him, "Second cousin, I have something I want to ask you for help with."

Yun Yu glanced at Yun Mo, and seeing his two cousins ​​looking at him, he could only say, "Sister-in-law, if you need my help, just tell me."

"Can you please ask one or two of the experienced rice growers on your farm to come and teach us?" Lin Yinan said sincerely.

Yun Yu was stunned. She didn't expect that she would say this. Then she said loudly, "Yes, of course!"

Lin Yinan's face was full of energy, and her eyes were bright. Yun Mo asked her quietly, "Anan, do you have any good ideas?"

"Have."

So, Lin Yinan whispered his thoughts to a few people.

Yun Mo's eyes brightened, revealing unspeakable surprise. He nodded to Yun Ye. They were good at fighting, but they were totally no good at farming and resettlement.

He turned around and waved to the crowd below, "Everyone, be quiet! Listen to me."

Everyone suddenly became quiet and looked up at him.

"Everyone, listen to Anan's advice on how to farm and build houses."

Lin Yinan cleared his throat and said, "The three most important things for us right now are planting, housing, and safety."

"If we can't grow food this year, we'll starve next year. We don't have a house to live in. The south is humid and rainy. It's easy to get sick if you live in a tent for a long time. No one knows when the Japanese pirates will come. We have to repair the city wall while we repair the house."

As soon as she finished speaking, she immediately stopped working because of her impatient temper.

"How can we handle so many things?"

"So we have to divide up the work."

Lin Yinan's eyes were calm and peaceful, as if everything was under control.

The clan leader thought the term sounded fresh, so he asked, "Anan, how should we divide the work?"

"We just assign some people to open up wasteland and cultivate the land, and some to build houses and repair city walls."

Yunye said, "We need to send someone to investigate the situation of the Japanese pirates and bandits in this area."

"Yes, we must be prepared at all times, in case the bandits suddenly come to our door and we are in a passive position."

Brother Yun Mo is very good at defending against enemies.

The Yun brothers took the lead, and everyone began to brainstorm.

"We need wood to build a house, and we have to go up the mountain to cut wood."

"When reclaiming land, you must first clear the weeds on the ground, and then burn the weeds on the ground to kill the insects in the ground, so that the crops you grow will be good."

"Building a house requires making adobe bricks."

Lin Yiheng took out a pen and paper and carefully wrote down everyone's suggestions.

Wu Xingwang raised his hand tremblingly and said loudly, "Do you need tiles to build your house? I can help you buy them."

This was the only thing he could think of doing.

As they talked for a long time, the women who had finished their work gradually gathered around.

When everyone had finished speaking, Yunye spoke again, "As you can see, there is nothing here now. We need to work together to build it."

"The Yun family led everyone to the Southland. From now on, everything in Longtan County will also be managed by the Yun family. Anyone who has any objections can pack up and leave immediately."

He glanced at everyone sharply and continued, "Since everyone agrees, the decision-making power for the development of Longtan County will be handed over to my third brother's wife, Lin Yinan, and the two of us will supervise the implementation of all strategies."

"Uncle, what is development decision-making power?" An illiterate boy in the crowd quietly asked Wu Xu.

Wu Xu's face was full of puzzles after being asked this question. He himself only had a vague understanding of it. He glanced at the people in Linjia Village who all seemed to understand what he said, and felt embarrassed to ask them.

"Don't talk, just keep listening and you will understand."

Lin Yinan stood there with her big belly and continued talking.

"The crops grown during this year's reclamation will belong to the Yun family. After a year, we will distribute the land to everyone. The Yun family will provide two meals a day for anyone who works to reclaim the land, build houses, or repair the city walls."

Before she finished speaking, the people below started talking again.

"Quiet down, let's talk about the house next." Fortunately, the patriarch's voice was loud and clear enough.

Everyone turned their attention to Lin Yinan again, eagerly and expectantly.

"As for the houses, we will register the number of houses needed by each family and rebuild them uniformly."

"Anan, the county town is so big, can we choose where to build it ourselves?" asked a villager. He had already picked out a piece of land facing north and south.

Lin Yinan put away the smile on his face and said seriously, "No! We will set aside a residential area and build houses together. The original streets and shops must be preserved and rebuilt in the future to attract investment and redevelop Longtan County."

Yun Mo and everyone else were shocked by Lin Yinan's broad vision and perspective.

"Will anyone come here?" The villagers were a little skeptical, after all, the road ahead was so desolate.

Lin Yinan's eyes flashed with determination, and she said firmly, "Yes! I believe that in the near future, this place will be as prosperous as Nanzhou Prefecture."

Everyone was so inspired by Lin Yinan that they couldn't wait to roll up their sleeves and start working!
