......

On the wasteland, Li Erniu was wielding a hoe and cultivating the land....

"Li Erniu, someone is looking for you!"

Li Erniu looked up, looking confused...

"Someone is looking for me?"

"Who?"

Although he was confused, Li Erniu still stopped the land reclamation...

"They are your fellow townsmen, about ten of them."

"My fellow countryman?"

Li Erniu wiped his hands, then followed the soldiers out of the camp...

.....

Outside the camp...

"Brother Sheng, look! Erniu is here!"

Li Ergou pointed excitedly in the direction of the camp.

"Oh? Looks like I found it. That's good to know."

Chen Sheng and Wu Guang both smiled and felt relieved.

To be honest, they had no idea. Although they knew that Li Erniu was doing corvée labor here, they were still worried about whether they could find Li Erniu. After all, there were 600,000 corvée laborers here. How could it be easy to find someone?

Fortunately, when Fusu ordered the army to control corvée labor, he directly reorganized and registered the personal information of the 600,000 corvées so that they could register and distribute the harvest in the future. That’s why the soldier was able to find Li Erniu so quickly according to his hometown…

At this time, Li Erniu naturally saw Chen Sheng and others from a distance...

"Katsuko!"

"Hiroko?"

"Why are you here?"

When Li Erniu saw Chen Sheng, Wu Guang, Li Ergou and others, he was full of confusion.

His hometown is quite far away from Xianyang. Li Erniu doesn't think that so many people come from afar just to see him. He doesn't have that much face. After all, it is the busy farming season and every family is busy farming. Who would be so idle?

"Brother Erniu, Brother Sheng brought us here to see you because he wants your help with something..."

"Looking for my help?"

Li Erniu was stunned....

"Shengzi, what's the matter?"

Li Erniu looked at Chen Sheng...

"Brother Erniu, to be honest with you, it is..."

Chen Sheng and Wu Guang looked at each other and then said directly: "We want to do corvée labor in Xianyang like you, and we want you to help ask if the camp still accepts people..."

"However, this is also fine. We work under you, and all the wasteland we reclaim is yours. After the autumn harvest, you can give some of the harvest from these wastelands to us. How about that?"

"?????"

Li Erniu was dumbfounded...

He looked at Chen Sheng, Wu Guang and others with a shocked expression...

"Are you guys crazy? You have a good family and you came all the way to Xianyang just to do corvée labor?"

"When our village was conscripting men, you seemed to be the ones who ran the fastest, right?"

Li Erniu looked at Chen Sheng and Wu Guang in bewilderment...

"Oh, Brother Erniu, this is a very different time. Who could have thought that the court would have such a good policy? Guangzi and I have carefully calculated. It's not that we don't want to farm at home, but the income here is too scary!"

"Let's forget it. One year of clearing the land here is equivalent to four years of farming at home. Brother Erniu, please give us a hand. We'll just follow you!"

"this...."

Li Erniu also came to his senses after hearing Chen Sheng's words.

Yes, the treatment for reclaiming wasteland in Xianyang is really good now. I had previously calculated that one year of farming here could be equivalent to several years of farming at home. It’s such a good policy. Indeed, when you think about it this way, this corvée... the treatment is really good, right?

"How's it going, Brother Erniu?"

Chen Sheng and others looked at Li Erniu with hope...

After thinking for a moment, Li Erniu nodded and said, "Okay, I'll ask for you. If it's possible, it's better to include you in the register directly, so as to avoid trouble in your life."

Upon hearing this, Chen Sheng, Wu Guang and others showed joy on their faces.

Indeed, if it is possible to do corvée, it is better to do it. Although it is reasonable to count all the land reclaimed under Li Erniu, there is a fatal problem...

There are more than a dozen people here. If the number of people who have reclaimed land is all counted as Li Erniu's, then the area reclaimed by Li Erniu is really too large. If it attracts attention and he has not reported it in advance, if the matter is exposed, I don't know what the consequences will be...
