At the same time, the news of Wangjiazhai Village's reclamation of land soon spread to Sixiang, because this area has not carried out large-scale reclamation operations for more than 100 years, so it is heard that in this reclamation, a lot of strange equipment was used, so it also attracted many people from other villages to come and see the excitement. Some of the villages are already within the jurisdiction www.biquge.info of the traverser, and some villages are not under the control of the traverser.

However, the traverser did not refuse to let them watch as long as it did not interfere with the production work, because it was a good opportunity for the villagers in this area to show the power of industrialization and the strong production capacity of the traverser. Although the villagers do not know what mechanized production is, whether these machines are useful for agricultural production and how useful they are, as long as you look at it, you can understand it. Therefore, the traversers even designated an area on the avenue as a visiting area.

It turned out that the traverser knocked out the Wangjiazhai village, which has caused a lot of shock in the surrounding area, the Wang family used to have a bad reputation in this area, and the surrounding villages were more or less bullied by some of the Wang family in the past, such as competing for water, competing for fields, etc., it is the past two years, the Wang family's father and son have basically integrated the Wangjiazhai area, and have begun to set their sights on the surrounding villages, and have discussed with the surrounding villages about the purchase of fields, if it is not for the traverser to destroy the Wang family, the Wang family will do it to the two nearby villages after the New Year。

After the news of the collapse of the Wang family spread to the surrounding villages, many large landlords were relieved, and finally eliminated a big trouble, of course, some people inquired about the power of the Wang family, so all kinds of rumors about overseas Chinese also spread in the nearby area, so new worries arose, but don't drive away a wolf, and a more vicious tiger came, so they all went to Wangjiazhai Village to inquire about the situation.

The villagers in the nearby villages have some contacts with each other, and the results heard by the villagers of Wangjiazhai Village can also be reassuring, because according to the villagers of Wangjiazhai Village, this group of overseas Chinese is obviously much better than the Qing soldiers, in Wangjiazhai Village, only the Wang family was destroyed, but they did not oppress other villagers, and they also opened warehouses in the village to release grain, divide fields and land, and organize villagers to open up wasteland and so on.

In the first day or two of the first day of land reclamation, only a few villagers from other villages rushed over to watch, but they were greatly shocked by the results, especially the powerful production capacity of a few modern machines, which left an extremely deep impression on them.

And after these people returned to the village, they naturally added oil and vinegar to talk about it, and as a result, more and more people came to see the wasteland, and even many old people and children came to watch, because it is now the slack period, and there are no entertainment activities in the countryside. However, after seeing the scene of the wasteland, some people were amazed by the production capacity of these machines, some people hoped that the time-travelers could use these machines to help their villages reclaim some wasteland, but there were also people who felt fear that these machines were using some kind of witchcraft, and still others felt instinctive fear of things they did not know.

However, with the development of the reclamation work, the people who watched the excitement gradually became accustomed to the action of these machines, and some well-informed people also inquired about the villagers of Wangjiazhai Village, knowing that these machines are not some witchcraft, but machines brought by overseas Chinese, not only able to open up wasteland, but also to cultivate their own land, it is said that on the island where overseas Chinese used to live, all this kind of machine is farming, and one person can operate hundreds of acres of land. Of course, some people have heard the news that it is completely the opposite, this is a strange art that overseas Chinese learned overseas, as long as they go to the altar to cast spells, they can drive these big iron cars to move on their own, dig the soil and dig the ground, and the overseas Chinese will not only have these spells, but also what is called for the wind, scattering beans into soldiers, and the five elements of the escape technique are all kinds of shortcomings.

Sometimes the villagers will fight for each other. But one thing is certain, as far as the overseas Chinese army is concerned, it is indeed much stronger than the Qing army, because there are some soldiers stationed during the construction, and these soldiers really have not suppressed the villagers, and sometimes they will help. Sometimes when I come to maintain order, it is also persuasion with good words.

At noon, most of the villagers from other villages turned back, the construction site was a lot quieter, and after lunch, the villagers all sat on the side of the road to rest and save their strength for the afternoon's work, while Liu An and Wang Gui led their families to pack up their things and load the car and leave. However, when they left, the two families parted ways and went their separate ways.

Wang Gui took his eldest son Wang Qing and two domestic sons to push two wheelbarrows in the direction of Jiaozhou City, while his wife took his youngest son, daughter, and a young daughter from the family, followed Liu An's family and men, pushing other wheelbarrows, loaded with all the pots, barrels, dishes, chopsticks and other things, and walked towards the village.

Because the traverser requires not only to feed the villagers, but also to ensure the necessary nutrition, so each meal must be accompanied by some green lai, and a certain share of fish food, and the traverser himself must supply enough fish products.

Of course, there are self-grown vegetables in the village, but fish and meat can only be bought in Jiaozhou City, because the supply is large, so every three or four days, you need to go into the city to buy goods. Liu An and Wang Gui were originally relatives, and the relationship was usually relatively close, and this time they provided lunch and dinner for the whole village, and the two families did it together, so the two agreed to take turns to go shopping in Jiaozhou City, and today it is Wang Gui's turn.

Since the crosser and the officials of Jiaozhou County had reached an agreement, and Jiaozhou County had also expelled the Wang brothers, the villagers of Wangjiazhai Village could basically guarantee their safety when they went to Jiaozhou County, and Masai was not worried, so every time they went shopping, they did not send troops to protect them.

Wang Gui and his eldest son Wang Qing each pushed a wheelbarrow, and the two domestic sons Wang Ji and Wang Ze supported the car on the side, marching one after the other.

The domestic boy is actually an orphan who was adopted by the landlord's family since he was a child, and he is the adopted son of the landlord in name, but his actual status is similar to that of a slave, basically serving the master's family for life, and there is no salary, just care about his meal and not starve to death, but generally only the small landlord's family will raise so few, and the big landlord disdains to adopt any adopted son.

Originally, Wang Gui's family did not have any land in the past, and the business of the restaurant was average, only to maintain food and clothing, Wang Gui had a wife, the eldest son Wang Qing has reached the age of eighteen, which is considered an adult labor force, the youngest son Wang He, also has fourteen, and the daughter Wang Xi is twelve years old this year, can help the family work, enough to greet the business of the restaurant, there is no need to adopt any children. Wang Ji and Wang Qing are actually from their own village, and they have some relatives with Wang Gui, because their parents died early, so they had to defect to Wang Gui. Although Wang Gui was timid, he had a good heart and couldn't bear it for a while, so he adopted their brothers, and later Wang Gui's wife adopted an orphan Zhao Mei from her mother's family, and as a result, Wang Gui's family raised three people at once.

Wang Ji is sixteen years old, Wang Ze is thirteen years old, and Zhao Mei is only eleven years old. And Liu An's family only has two sons and two daughters, which is less than Wang Gui's family and has two small laborers, but it is not as good as Wang Gui's family. Of course, it is impossible to cook the whole village with these two families alone, and the village committee has arranged for more than a dozen women to help them.

While walking, Wang Gui's heart was also calculating, this time I came to Jiaozhou County, not only to buy fish and meat, but also to add something to the family, today I have made a lot of money, and I am much looser on hand, tear a few feet of cloth, make a new set of clothes for a few children, and then buy a pair of bracelets for my daughter, a new comb, let my daughter dress up, and after two or three years, it is time to find a home, but now it is best to settle down and accept the dowry. Because he received the dowry, he was able to marry his eldest son, Zhang Luo. However, after the successful reclamation, your own family can also divide ten acres of land, plus restaurants, next year's situation should be better than this year, and the dowry of the eldest son can also be more sumptuous, and marry a daughter-in-law who looks weekly, virtuous, and diligent.

After entering the city, Wang Gui first rushed to the meat market, because after all, he still had to do a good job in the village, although Wang Gui's restaurant business was average before. But I will also buy some meat to prepare, so there is a long-term purchase of a butcher shop in Jiaozhou City, but every time I will not buy more, the parts are the worst, the owner of the butcher shop does not have much good face for Wang Gui, and this time I bought a lot, the amount is also very large, the attitude of the owner of the butcher shop has changed greatly, as soon as I see Wang Gui is full of answers, and every time I give Wang Gui something, sometimes it is two pig ears, sometimes it is a piece of pig intestine, these extra parts, naturally Wang Gui kept them, ready to be the New Year's goods.

Because he came often and the road was very familiar, Wang Gui did not take the main road to the meat market, but pushed the cart and turned into an alley, which could lead directly to the vicinity of the butcher shop where Wang Gui often went, and it was almost thirty percent away.

The alleys are very narrow, and there are not many residents, mainly the back doors of some shops. Two wheelbarrows, one in front of the other, drive through the alley. But just after walking half a distance, I saw a small door "squeak" opened, and more than ten people wearing tight green clothes and masked with green scarves came out of the door, each holding a sharp blade, blocking the two wheelbarrows before and after, and putting the sharp blade on the neck, chest, back, etc. of Wang Gui and other people, and at the same time shouted in a low voice: "Stop, don't move, don't move." ”

Wang Gui and the others were suddenly frightened, although this alley was quite quiet, but after all, it was also in Jiaozhou City, and it was in broad daylight, I didn't expect that there were robberies, Wang Gui was so frightened that his whole body trembled, and he couldn't even say a word.
