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

Ever since the people from Xiahe Village came to borrow food that night, Dinghe Village began to strengthen its defense and training.

Originally, some people had complaints about having to get up half an hour earlier every day, but after Village Chief Li explained the situation to everyone, the villagers all got up early to exercise on their own initiative without anyone urging them to do so.

The ones who led everyone in the training were Wang Bo, Meng Tianze and Jiang Qinyu.

Wang Bo trained the men using military training methods, and combined them with the three-three tactics provided by Jiang Qinyu. The whole village practiced well.

As for the women, Jiang Qinyu was quite surprised that so many people were willing to learn fighting.

That’s right, Jiang Qinyu taught fighting directly.

The women and aunties in the village all have strong hands, and they are quite impressive when they learn to fight.

The girls in the village were not as delicate as Jiang Qinyu thought. Even Liu Ruyi, who took the initiative to participate, was willing to work on her skills even though she was not strong enough.

"Sister-in-law, I was so angry just now." Chen Shao's sister Chen Hong came in from outside. Seeing Jiang Qinyu was like seeing hope.

Chen Hong is eighteen years old this year and has not yet been engaged. Aunt Qin does not want her to get married casually, especially now that it is a famine year. Who knows whether she can have enough food after getting married. It is better for her to stay at home.

Jiang Qinyu had a good impression of this girl. After all, her personality was similar to Chen Shao's. She spoke bluntly, but most of the time she had a high emotional intelligence and was comfortable to get along with.

"What's going on so early in the morning? Who bullied you?" Jiang Qinyu looked at her with amusement.

Because some of the men would go shirtless during training, Village Chief Li decided to let the women come to the ancestral hall to practice.

Of course, this decision was also opposed by some people in the village, who said that women should not enter the ancestral hall. As a result, they were slapped down by Village Chief Li.

"Without a woman, how can we have you? Every day, women can't do this or that. If we didn't have my niece this time, would you be able to live the good life you have now?"

The benefits Jiang Qinyu brought to Dingshui Village were real and no one could refute it, so the matter was settled.

Chen Hong was a smooth talker and quickly told the whole story. "Who else could it be? It's that bastard Liu Yazi! He actually said that what we practiced were just fancy moves and we definitely couldn't beat them!"

"Are you so angry just because of this?" Jiang Qinyu raised an eyebrow, seeing through it but not saying anything.

Liuyazi is two years younger than Chen Hong. Their families are close to each other, so the boy and girl have a lot of contact. However, they are like a pair of bickering lovers. They quarrel whenever they meet and even fought many times when they were young.

But Jiang Qinyu could see that Liuyazi was definitely interested in Chen Hong, but the boy was too embarrassed to speak up, and every time he would just clumsily make Chen Hong angry.

"Isn't this infuriating enough?" Chen Hong's eyes widened. She rolled up her sleeves and started to fight. "Sister-in-law, come here. Let's have a fight first. When that kid comes back from the fields tonight, I'll teach him a lesson!"

Jiang Qinyu was really at a loss for words, but it was time for class now. She shouted to everyone and then got down to work.

Her current job is not only to lead the women in fighting practice in the morning, but also to lead the children in reading and learning to read in the evening.

As for the work on her family's fields, Village Chief Li took care of it all and didn't even ask her to pay anyone.

Jiang Qinyu naturally couldn't let Village Chief Li's family suffer any loss. Since they refused to accept payment, she taught them how to grow sweet potatoes and potatoes, and gave them a lot of sweet potatoes and potatoes that could be used for seeds.

There is a small warehouse in the fruit and vegetable area, which contains a lot of vegetable stocks, including a certain proportion of sweet potatoes and potatoes.

Both of these are high-yield crops, but the system didn't provide them, so Jiang Qinyu tried to plant a few acres of land according to the methods she knew.

Time quickly entered the twelfth lunar month, and Dingshui Village accomplished a lot during this period.

The villagers' training, the practice and application of the Three-Three tactics, and Jiang Qinyu's women's fighting class were all operating normally.

The people from Xiahe Village came to borrow grain several more times later, but were rejected by Village Chief Li every time. Other families in the village were also warned not to let anyone know their true situation.

Except for a few families who brought back their married daughters, the people in Xiahe Village still didn't know that they had hidden the food.

After the underground river was connected, the canal was quickly built to each family's land, and the land of the entire village was planted with crops during the autumn planting season.

The Wild Boar Ping and Tiger Valley in the mountains were not abandoned either. Although they were a bit far from Dingshui Village, there were families who could not sit still and went to the Wild Boar Ping in groups to reclaim more than ten acres of land and plant the high-yield grain seeds given by Jiang Qinyu.

According to them, the land is free anyway, so there is no harm in giving it a try. The worst that can happen is that you lose some money on seeds.

The price of seeds was not much, Jiang Qinyu did not accept their high price and paid according to the normal seed price.

On New Year's Eve, Grandpa Jiang organized several farmers in the village, called on Village Chief Li, Jiang Qinyu and others, and went to visit each family's fields together.

"Crops are something you can't just plant and leave alone. You need to water and fertilize them, and you have to keep an eye on them from time to time to prevent anything from destroying them."

Grandpa Jiang said to everyone as he walked.

Jiang Dacheng whispered awkwardly behind Village Chief Li: "Don't mind it, everyone. My father is just a nagging person. He has said these things many times."

"Dacheng, you can't think that your father is nagging. What he said is something that needs to be passed down. Without the experience passed on by the elders like them, how would the younger generations know how to farm?" Village Chief Li turned around and said to him.

Grandpa Jiang’s hearing is getting worse and worse, and he can’t hear them at such a loud volume.

Jiang Qinyu also smiled and said, "Uncle Dacheng, what the village chief said makes sense. If you listen to Grandpa Jiang talk about farming a few more times, even someone like me who doesn't know how to farm can learn it."

Jiang Dacheng scratched his head and looked at them with a silly smile, "Really? I'm just worried that everyone will find it annoying. I just hope you can listen to me."

In fact, he is quite proud of his father. After all, everyone in the village who has problems with farming will come to ask his father, which is unique in the village.

Grandpa Jiang in front spoke to a few old men again, "Look, our fields are growing so well this year! We're sure to have a good harvest next year!"

"Yes, yes, it seems to be growing better than in previous years. Isn't it time for a good harvest?"

"I went to Xiahe Village a few days ago. It's still very dry there, and there's not a single green spot on the land. It doesn't even look like we're in the same place."

"That's because we diverted the water from the underground river! If it weren't for A Zheng's wife giving us advice, we might be worse off than Xiahe Village now..."

Village Chief Li heard these words from behind and said to Jiang Qinyu cheerfully, "Niece, you see, everyone is very grateful to you."

"Uncle Village Chief, please stop talking about this. I really didn't do anything." Jiang Qinyu was helpless.

"You deserve it!" Village Chief Li said without giving any room for rejection.

Jiang Qinyu had no choice. She couldn't cover other people's mouths, right?

Just as the people of Dingshui Village were rejoicing about the good harvest next year, two figures were coming quickly towards Dingshui Village from deep in the Yunshan Mountains.
