The farmer in the village learned the news that night.

Many of the homeless people regretted their decision during the day, and one of the couples complained to each other in the corner of their house, and the woman said: "Why are you so confused, it is a great thing that the steward of the village promised to let you open the field, and you can settle down here after clearing the field." ”

The man also regretted: "How did I know that Bitian would provide food, the steward of the village didn't say it at all at the beginning, if you really drink porridge and Pitian, who has the strength?" ”

"That's ......," the woman complained, "the steward is really, why can't he make it clear." What now? The woman pushed the man, "Do you say it's too late to regret now?" I went to the daughter-in-law of the Xu family and asked her to help me talk about it. ”

"I'm afraid not, someone has already repented and asked, and the steward's answer is that he doesn't care about food, do you want to do it? No matter what you do? The man sighed.

The woman also sighed: "Then I have to go to the next Zhuangzi to have a look, if I can't get along with the other Zhuangzi, I have to come back." ”

"What if the steward presses the conditions again?" The man hesitated.

The woman swept his eyes: "How come?" You can't work if you're hungry, and it's the least of them to give porridge to drink, and people passing by can drink it, but you can't drink it if you work? ”

"That's right......" the man nodded.

Listening to the farmer in the corner of the wall, he felt that something was wrong, so he hurriedly went to Zhang Laohan's house and told the words of the homeless people. Zhang Laohan also heard that something was wrong, the homeless people only took care of the rice when they opened the fields, they didn't pay, and they were even willing to open the fields regardless of the food, and they not only managed the food, but also asked for money.

That's not going to work! There are many benefits to opening the fields, and the displaced people cannot be allowed to occupy them.

So several old men rushed to the steward overnight to find out the news, and the steward had already expected that the old man would come, so he invited them into the outer hall as soon as he saw them. The old men asked nonsense, and the steward answered them one by one, explaining clearly the considerations of letting the displaced people open up the fields.

After hearing this, the old men knew that this matter would not only be implemented immediately, but also for a long time, so they had to ask about the matter involving themselves: "If they don't give money for opening the field, will we give it in the future?" ”

"Give." The steward nodded, "The young master said that you are from the village, and the future wages will be paid as originally agreed." ”

When the old men heard this, their faces were full of surprise, and the wages were paid? Is there such a good thing?

Regarding the question of whether or not the peasant households in the village should be paid for opening up the fields, Luo Zhao specifically told the steward to pay according to the law. Shen Miao was puzzled at first, as far as the farmers in the village were concerned, they lost the idea of competing with the homeless, anyway, no matter how the homeless people opened, they still had money to take. Later, after thinking about it carefully, I understood the meaning of Luo's edict, there are only a few places that can be used to open up mountains and fields, and the participation of displaced people will reduce the number of fields opened by farmers in the village, and the wages are calculated according to the number of fields opened, and the less fields are opened, the less money will be paid.

Some of the old men also reacted, and hurriedly pulled the others to whisper: "Pay is pay, open less land, and earn less." ”

At this time, everyone else reacted, and they all thought: We can't let the displaced people snatch all the work of opening the fields, we must speed up the progress, and we can open a few more, and we must not get along with the money. He hurriedly thanked the steward and rushed back to make arrangements.

The next day, the farmers in the village who had previously opened up the mountains and fields in the honeycomb were divided into two roads, one way continued to open the original one, and the other road started the new field under the leadership of Chen Laohan.

Seeing this, Shen Miao praised Luo's edict, and ordered him to bring some rare food from this season to comfort Chen Laohan's group of farmers.

Chen Laohan was very grateful, and Shen Miao chatted next to him: "I heard an old man from outside the mountain a few days ago say that not all of our mountains are hard, and some mountains can be cultivated like the land of Bashu. ”

Chen Laohan was surprised when he heard it: "I have been in this village for most of my life, and I have never found a mountain like the land of Bashu here." ”

Shen Miao hurriedly said: "I just listened to him, I don't know much about Bitian, they said that if they can find it, let them find it, it's a good thing to find it left and right, and it's not a bad thing to not find it." ”

"That's right." Chen Laohan nodded, "If they really find it, I'll take a look, take a look at the doorway, learn a second-hand one, and we'll follow suit." ”

Shen Miao nodded.

Three days later, Xu Laohan, that is, the old man who led the displaced people to open the field, really led people to find this kind of mountain, the mountain is located in the basin surrounded by mountains, the sunny side is extremely open, and the mountain is full of towering cedars.

Xu Laohan introduced Shen Miao, Luo Zhaozhi and the steward here, and explained in detail the slopes that can be opened up, the number of acres that can be opened, and the number of other crops around it. ”

The steward did not reply immediately, but asked, "Is there anything else but here?" ”

"It's not too late to find out." Xu Laohan smiled, he also had his own considerations, after all, they were outsiders, and it was not easy to gain a foothold here, but if they had this skill, from the stewards to the farmers, they would find them to find mountains, and it would be much easier to gain a foothold.

Shen Miao and Luo Zhaozhi naturally knew Xu Laohan's thoughts, but their considerations were more far-reaching, the method of opening up fields here would be implemented in the entire East Zhejiang Province in the future, and the mountains of East Zhejiang Road were very extensive, and Xu Laohan alone, or the old Han's family was too slow to find the progress, so they had to let him teach this method. But apparently the old man is not willing to take Professor Yì lightly for the time being.

Luo Zhao then signaled to the steward, and the steward said, "I will allow you to use the timber here to build a house, and you must find a similar place with me again." ”

"Okay!" Xu Laohan agreed.

Shen Miao then notified Chen Laohan and asked him to follow and observe.

After another three days, Xu Laohan found another place, this time it is located in the mountains, the ridge is particularly steep, it seems to have the image of an overall slide, and there are still many giant trees growing on the sunny side, cedar trees, and ginkgo.

Shen Miao found Chen Laohan that night and asked if he could see any clues?

Chen Laohan shook his head: "The only way I can see is that there are giant trees rooted in the places they are looking for, but this doesn't mean anything, there are giant trees in the east and west of the mountain, but not all mountains are thick soil, and the root system of cedar can also grow." On top of that, they carry a special tool in their hands that can be inserted into the dirt to probe. ”

Insert dirt probing? Shen Miao frowned, could it be...... Luoyang shovel or something? immediately drew a rough picture for Chen Laohan to recognize, and Chen Lao nodded: "It seems to be this thing." ”

Shen Miao was overjoyed: "Then I'll do it with someone, you always try it?" ”

Chen Laohan shook his head: "It's not enough to have tools, they don't use tools in every mountain and every place. They should have their own way of judging, otherwise they will only use this tool to find so many mountains, and they will find the year of the monkey and the month of the horse? ”

Shen Miao was right when he heard it, the Luoyang shovel is used for tomb robbery, and tomb robbers pay attention to feng shui terrain, not digging when they see one place, and naturally paying attention to the terrain when looking for mountains.

Thinking of the topography, Shen Miao suddenly thought that the pine of the mountains in Bashu was formed by the impact and uplift of the Eurasian plate and the Indian Ocean plate due to the changes in the vicissitudes of the sea, and the reason why the mountains here are hard is because most of them are formed by volcanic eruptions. It stands to reason that there will be no earth mountains similar to Bashu here, unless ...... Volcanic ash accumulates, and large eruptions produce obscuring ash, which then forms fertile soil.

Like the first place Xu Laohan was looking for, the soil layer surrounded by mountains may be the place where the volcanic ash has accumulated the most.

As for the second place, there are traces of the overall slide at the ridge, I remember that there was an earthquake in the land of Bashu, and the aerial photos are clear that the first is the fault slide of the mountain, which is consistent with the traces here. This is only the case in mountains with thick soil, and this is also the case.

Thinking of this, Shen Miao had a rough score in his heart, and compared with Chen Laohan for a long time, explaining some simple and understandable truths, although Chen Laohan did not understand the principle, but he had profound experience, and gradually found a general idea from Shen Miao's comparison.

"Okay." Chen Laohan clenched his fist and knocked his palm, "Childe knocked out that tool, and I will follow this method when I turn around." ”

Shen Miao nodded hurriedly: "I'll do it immediately, and take me with me when I go back to the mountain." ”

"Childe is naturally the best to go together." Chen Laohan said busily.

Shen Miao and Chen Laohan discussed and went back to arrange, Luo Zhaozhi heard about this and nodded: "It's a good job, although Xu Laohan's Tibetan skills are excusable, but it is not conducive to future development, and it is easy to make it bigger." If we also find a way, we can avoid the danger of Tibetan techniques, and second, we can deter them, so that they can realize the mistakes of Tibetan techniques and then publish the methods. ”

"That's exactly what I think, in the future, the entire eastern province of Zhejiang will need people who can explore this kind of terrain, and after Xu Laohan learns this lesson, he will definitely try his best to teach others to facilitate subsequent development."

"Hmm!" Luo Zhaozhi nodded along his beard.

Shen Miao secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and finally did something that made Luo Zhaozhi more satisfied, you must know that since the apprenticeship, he has been picked by the other party every day, and there is no need to mention writing, it is simply miserable, reading is also a hard-hit area, and the Analects can still survive, and everything else has to be learned from scratch, as for etiquette, music, shooting, royalty, etc., it is simply crying Shen Miao, when he is a duck, he wants to fill it up in just a few days?

Luo Zhaozhi saw Shen Miao's thoughts, his beard curled, and his eyebrows raised: "Dare to be complacent about this little thing?" It's just a Zhuangzi, you have a lot of things to treat in the future, why don't you go back to study in a hurry? And the words have to be practiced more, you look at the words you write? Crab legs are more elegant than yours. ”

Shen Miao hurriedly begged for mercy and said goodbye, and ran away in a hurry, for fear that Luo Zhao would get angry and give him more homework, you must know that the current homework alone is enough for him to read until late at night every day, and he doesn't have to sleep.
