I will lead the whole village to occupy the land and become the king.

Her words made Jiang Qinyu silent.

Although she did not come from such a family, she had watched a lot of movies and TV dramas, so she knew something about it.

Unexpectedly, Liu Ruyi was also helpless.

"Let's not talk about that anymore," Liu Ruyi suddenly became cheerful again. "Sister Lu, can you teach me how to recognize a sapling?"

Jiang Qinyu's face froze, and she quickly changed the subject. "Let's not look for saplings anymore. I'm thirsty and want to go to the pond to drink some water. Do you want to come with me?"

The water on the other side of the pond is mountain spring water that has been filtered through layers of filtration. You can drink it directly, but don't drink too much.

Liu Ruyi glanced at her, smiled and nodded, "Okay!"

The two of them walked towards the pond.

These days, a small piece of the bamboo forest behind the water pond has been cut down by the people of Dingshui Village to divert water.

The water pond has not been moved yet. According to Grandpa Jiang, we have to focus on the fields first, as long as the villagers have water to drink.

By the time they finished drinking the water, Liu Erlang and his team had already dug a reservoir.

"A Zheng's wife, it's getting late, we should go back!" Liu Erlang shouted to Jiang Qinyu.

Jiang Qinyu replied loudly, "Got it, Uncle Erleng, we'll be right over."

The new reservoir was halfway up the mountain, and Jiang Qinyu and Liu Ruyi arrived there after a while.

"Come and take a look, is there any problem with connecting the water pump here?" Liu Erleng asked, pointing to the reserved space on the ground.

Jiang Qinyu looked around and nodded, "This location is well chosen. Was it Grandpa Jiang who chose it?"

"Yes, he circled it out here himself. It's a pity he's not here today, otherwise he would be very happy to see us dig a pond in just half a day." The skinny monkey laughed.

Most of the people who went to the provincial capital with Jiang Qinyu before were arranged to go into the mountains today.

Because the village was arranging soil turning and all the manpower was transferred there, there were not many people going into the mountains today. In addition, Meng Tianze took several people away, so there were even fewer people left.

But these twenty or so people dug a large water storage pit in just one afternoon. Their efficiency is really amazing.

"Speaking of this, I don't know what the village is like. Let's pack up and go back quickly!" Jiang Qinyu said with a smile.

Liu Erlang continued, "I heard from my father that the soil quality of most of our families' fields has improved in the past few days. If we dig deep, we can pull out moist soil. There will definitely be no problem for autumn planting."

"Yes, yes, yes, my father also said that the old men in the village are very happy these days!" Skinny Monkey also added.

Hearing them say this, Jiang Qinyu thought to herself that it was a close call. They were indeed very concerned about the situation in the field. Fortunately, she had chosen a remote location to bury the plastic hose. Otherwise, it would have been a bit strange if it had been discovered.

The group quickly packed up their things and went down the mountain, heading towards the village facing the setting sun. The golden sunlight shone on everyone, bringing new hope.

But Jiang Qinyu was very nervous. She just hoped that the great general who protected the country would definitely guard the border town and never let her move.

……

In Dingshui Village, Grandpa Jiang and several other old men were overjoyed.

Early this morning they took people to each family's land to check the situation, and found that except for the land of the Wang, Ma and Deng families, one or two plots of soil in other families' land met the conditions for autumn planting.

And because the land of Old Man Lu's family and Jiang Qinyu's family was the most suitable, Grandpa Jiang and Village Chief Li waved their hands and asked everyone to help their two families turn the land first.

If Jiang Qinyu were here, she would definitely be secretly glad that she had moved the plastic hoses in her field and Old Man Lu's field last night and buried them on the slope opposite the field.

Seeing everyone busy plowing the land for the Lu and Jiang Qinyu families, Mrs. Wang's face was long. "This is really weird. Why are their fields wet, but ours is not wet at all?"

"It's not just you and your families. Isn't my land like this too?" Ma glared at the people sweating profusely in the field with a look of unwillingness in her eyes.

Although some of her land is adjacent to Old Man Lu and Jiang Qinyu's, the soil is not as soft as theirs. The village chief said that her land might be turned over last.

"Speaking of this, how did you split up the family?" asked Mrs. Wang curiously.

Ma became angry when she mentioned this matter. She looked at Jiang Qinyu's land with indignation and said with gritted teeth: "Isn't it the work of that woman surnamed Jiang? She..."

She told him about how Jiang Qinyu had insisted on dividing the family because of Lu Tianbao's words, and ended up saying bitterly, "Originally, those dozens of wild goats should have been my family's share, but because she proposed this work-point system, they became everyone's. Why?"

Mrs. Wang curled her lips. "Why are you so angry? Shouldn't I be even angrier than you? The head of my family went into the mountains at the time, and no one from your family went. It's normal that you didn't get a share, right?"

And it’s not like they don’t get any share at all. Can’t their family exchange the things they bought with the silver for work points later?

Mrs. Wang felt that her family was the one that suffered the greatest loss. They had contributed manpower and effort, but in the end they were sent away with only a little bit of food found in the mountains.

If her eldest son hadn't stopped her, she would have continued to make a fuss.

"Why didn't anyone from my family go? My father-in-law and the one surnamed Jiang both went! Don't forget, we hadn't separated at that time!" Ma was unhappy, she had calculated everything very clearly.

Mrs. Wang didn't want to talk to her anymore and changed the subject. "Our fields are in this state. Does your family have any good solutions? We can't just sit there and watch other people in the village plant crops in autumn, can we?"

"What else can we do? Find someone to carry water from the mountains!" Ma felt like vomiting blood just thinking about it.

It takes four hours to go into the mountains and back, which is almost a whole day. Even if one person pushes a wheelbarrow, he can only bring back a few buckets of water at most. If she and Lu Yancai were to water their own fields, it would take at least ten days to irrigate the several plots of land at home.

Mrs. Wang was also worried. Although her eldest son had returned, he was sent by the village to explore the route of some hidden river.

Eh...yes!

As if she suddenly thought of something, Mrs. Wang clapped her hands and said excitedly, "Oh, why are we still worried? Isn't our village a collective? Then shouldn't everyone work on the land together? Sister, we don't have to get water to irrigate the land ourselves!"

Ma was stunned when she heard this, then she laughed excitedly, "Oh, Auntie, you're right, I was just thinking the wrong thing. Haha, we really don't need to do it ourselves. This work-point system is still pretty good..."

For the first time, the two of them truly felt that the work point system proposed by Jiang Qinyu was good, and that it was great for the villagers to live together as a collective.

Just when Dingshui Village knew nothing about what was happening outside, Yongshan County Magistrate Zhu Youcai and the One-Eyed King met again in the Yongshan County Government Office.

"You useless idiots! You actually let them escape again!" Zhu Youcai threw the teacup at hand over there.

The one-eyed king didn't dare to dodge and took the hit head-on. The teacup hit his forehead, leaving a bloody mark immediately.

"Please forgive me, sir. Those people are really too cunning. I didn't expect..." The One-Eyed King wanted to defend himself.

Zhu Youcai interrupted him, "Alright, alright, thankfully I've been asking the yamen's doormen to keep an eye on it. Regarding the two names you mentioned, Li Dachui and Liu Yazi, after so many days, there should be some results."

After he finished speaking, he shouted, "Come here, ask Lao Hu from the household department to come see me."

Not long after, Lao Hu came in holding a booklet.

"Sir, the person you ordered to find before should have been found..." "Dear children who have seen this, please click to urge the update, let me see how many of you have followed me here, please, otherwise it will be too painful to type alone every day!"
