Chapter 56: Reclamation

Ruan Bai doesn't know how to farm, but around him, even the "city people" Li Niang knows some farming time.

When he was still struggling with the post station, there were suddenly a lot of people in the house.

Ruan Bai was shocked: "What are you doing?" What's going on? ”

Li Niang explained: "Lord Chu hired some people to open up wasteland. Usually people are not good at this time. Even if you want to make money again, you have to finish cooking your own land at this time. Besides, it is hard to open up the wasteland, some days are still passable, and they are more willing to follow others to build houses and move bricks, although it is as hard as it is, but you can see more and maybe you can learn a craft. ”

"What kind of wasteland?" Ruan Bai muttered a sentence before remembering that he still had more than 100 acres of wasteland on hand. Unlike the barren post, which is used to settle homeless people, the more than 100 acres of land are under the name of Ruan Bai alone. If it weren't for the fact that this place is too close to Shunyang Pass, in fact, the land here is not bad, and it is close to the water source, so it is convenient to reclaim.

This convenience is also only relative. After Ruan Bai grabbed the hoe and smashed it on the ground out of curiosity, he seemed to hear a "Karma" sound from the wrist bones, which hurt the whole person, and he stood still in place.

It just so happened that Yun Gu came to deliver water, and when she saw that something was wrong, she quickly put down the basket in her hand, ran to Ruan Bai in three steps and two steps, and pulled the handle of the hoe he was still holding in her hand and put it on the side: "Ouch, you stupid boy, have you ever been on the ground?" ”

Ruan Bai's wrist was shaken, and it was okay to stop and be rubbed by Yun Gu again. He bent down to regain his grip on the hoe and slammed it on! He didn't believe that he was an agent, and he couldn't even handle a hoe!

Today, Chu Hao came back a little early, after a few days of running-in, the new military discipline has been implemented, although most of the soldiers do not understand, and some are reluctant, but the military order is like a mountain, no matter how loud they are in their hearts, in fact, there is nothing to oppose it.

"Those fools, their heads are full of lice and fleas, and it is like cutting off their heads to shave their heads, and the eyes of the five big and three thick men are swollen; As a result, when they were cleaned up one by one, their mouths were all grinning behind their ears! Chu Hao hugged Ruan Bai and complained, and then thought of the so many people he saw just now, "There are so many people in the house, these people's ...... Personal hygiene should also be taken care of. I talked to them for fifteen days, and it was all done, including room and board; In addition, after completion, you can borrow farm tools and ploughing cattle for free, plus provide some grain seeds. ”

Ruan Ergou's face was expressionless, and his words were hard: "Where did these people come from?" ”

"It's all some of the victims, who have just been sent back after fleeing not far away. Although the order of the imperial court has come down, the government can't take care of them for a while, we can help a little bit, anyway, we have to use people. When this side is finished, if it's okay to look at people, you can still let them work for Yungu and them. ”

After speaking, he realized that something was wrong with Ruan Bai, his body was tense, and the expression on his face looked stricter than usual: "What's wrong?" Under the weather? ”

"Not really." Ruan Bai was stubborn, but he didn't hold on, Chu Hao glanced up and down at Ruan Bai, and pulled out the dog paws he had hidden in his sleeves, revealing a few shiny big blisters in his palms.

Chu Hao's brows were so furrowed that he could trap mosquitoes, his heart twitched and hurt, and he touched it carefully: "What's going on?" You disobey and go to the ground! ”

Ruan Bai subconsciously retorted: "You didn't say that you can't go to the ground." ”

Chu Hao laughed angrily: "I hired so many people, you still have to go to the ground as a master?" "After a winter, Ruan Ergou has long raised himself with fine skin and tender meat, do you really think that she is a farmer? Even if it is, people have to suffer from clearing wasteland, so should this person play in clearing wasteland?

Ruan Bai was silent. Especially when he finally lit up the ploughing skill, he found out through observation that the ploughing was made of cows, and the hoe was only used to hoe weeds! The blisters on his hands today were only exchanged for four words - how embarrassing!

Chu Hao was reluctant to be really angry: "Don't go tomorrow, if you want to go, you can go around on the side." He can see that the male ghost must have been born rich and noble before, and there are many stinky problems in that body, and he must get used to more stinky problems in the future!

Ruan Bai reluctantly hummed: "Ah Qiang, they know a few hired workers. I watched them talk today...... Crying nose. "The dozen or so of them didn't know each other before, but this time they met acquaintances. For the rest of their lives after the catastrophe, even the big men will inevitably be excited.

Chu Hao didn't think much about it when he hired people, he didn't go in person, he just ordered to pick some people who looked strong. It was not strange for this situation, but he frowned: "Let's see, it's only half a month or so, and some problems will be solved first if we can solve them." ”

Ruan Bai also sighed: "Don't suffer from widowhood but suffer from unevenness." ”

If everyone is destitute and destitute, it is naturally a deep brotherhood of hatred and hatred. But the current situation is that he has also suffered a disaster, he is destitute, and his "brother" has suddenly become rich! So, the brother got rich, isn't it a matter of course to take care of his little friend? If you don't take care of it, then the brother is definitely not in a proper position!

This took for granted very quickly.

According to the size and layout of the barren post, it is more than enough to arrange for the dozen or twenty people to be hired to live. Of course, the accommodation can only be bunked, and some furniture and daily necessities will inevitably have some shortages. At this point, Chu Hao did not intend to let these people who were taken care of take advantage of him, except for some necessary things, he did not plan to provide any superfluous things for free, nor did he intend to let the families of these people live together.

Originally, this arrangement was already very favorable, but it was in the absence of comparison. There is a contrast between this......

"Lao Gao, didn't you say that Ah Qiang is from one of your villages? How can people eat so well? "It was a little dark, and the people who had been busy in the fields all day came back with farm tools and chatted along the way.

The other also had sparkling eyes: "That's it! Did you see it at noon? That meat is so thick! Two big pieces! ”

"Look at the people who wear such good clothes when they go to the ground......"

"Alright, alright! It's not like we don't have to eat at noon, the pancake is so big! Lao Gao interrupted the words of a few people, although he didn't have a taste in his heart, but at noon he chatted with Ah Qiang, and the people also gave him two pieces of meat, and said that although these people fled with him, Ah Qiang was in the same village as him, looking at the current situation, he would have to rely on others in the future.

"A pancake is a pancake, and meat is meat. Usually we haven't seen such big meat during the Chinese New Year. ”

"After all, the family of this official is different, and I don't know how they got married? Have you seen those women? The ...... of the water spirit"

"Tut-tut, this rich family will really enjoy it."

"Look at that old man's age, I don't know if I can stand it, hehehe."

When the man talked about the girl, the topic went off in an instant. Lao Gao also breathed a sigh of relief.

In fact, the girls in the desert post are really beautiful, and it is estimated that they are Liniang. And even if it is Li Niang, in Ruan Bai's eyes, it is also a little girl, and she has not grown up at the age of sixteen or seventeen, that is, she is invincible in her youth.

It's just that the climate here in Shunyang is dry, and people's skin is probably not so good. Even if people in the city have the heart to pick it up, most of them use some fat powder to cover it up, and it does not have much emollient effect. Li Niang and they were "ordered" by Ruan Bai for a winter, plus they cleaned up all kinds of clean, and they practiced martial arts, they didn't think it themselves, but when they went out, it was different from ordinary girls.

After seeing someone divide lunch with the helper, the dinner directly became limited. Although Yun Gu was soft-hearted, she didn't say anything, after all, the housekeeping power was in the hands of Li Niang.

Ruan Bai looked at the meal that was clearly divided, and laughed secretly in his heart. He had blisters on both hands, and Chu Hao would definitely seize the opportunity to feed him. Usually in front of his own family, it is okay, but today there are still many outsiders......

happened to see those hired workers coming in, Li Niang pushed Ruan Bai out: "In a place like the kitchen, why did you come in, master?" Auntie, don't hurry up and bring the food to the old man's house! ”

Ruan Bai nodded in satisfaction, the old man was in a good posture, looked at the hired workers coldly, and frowned slightly: "Hmm." Tang Xinhou! ”

Tang Xinhou immediately put down the rice bowl in his hand and trotted to Ruan Bai's side: "My lord, what do you command?" ”

Ruan Bai raised his chin: "Don't let these people run around at night." ”

"Don't worry, sir." Tang Xinhou patted his chest and reassured, watched Ruan Bai leave, turned his head and saw a few angry hired workers, and sneered, "Our adults are for your good, it's best not to run around at night, I've heard wolves howling at night these days." After a busy day, hurry to eat. ”

After the third version of the wolf finished eating his own, he lay on the ground, and his two big claws with thick arms were sandwiched between a large bone grinding teeth, and they clicked.

When the group saw the third family at first glance, they were all startled. The timid fell directly to the ground, and there were all those who screamed loudly.

The big fat and the little fat were startled by the screams, but with their father and mother behind them, they immediately grinned: "Wang! Woohoo! ”

After the two little ones settled down, their nutrition has always been very good, much older than cubs of the same age, and their fluffy fetal hair is also very good at bluffing, and their bare body size is about the same size as some medium-sized dogs. As soon as they screamed, more people were paralyzed with fright.

Even if a few people were bold enough to step forward and beat the dog, they didn't dare to act rashly when they saw the appearance of the third and fourth children.

"What a noise!" Chu Hao walked in, and his cold eyes swept around the kitchen, "Hurry up and eat, I have to do things tomorrow." Li Niang, explain everything in the ground, you don't need it. Yun Gu, it's too late to cook, let the others help. ”

"Yes, Lord Chu."

Chu Hao didn't say anything directly to the hired workers, but the extravagance cultivated over the years, coupled with the evil spirit that came out of the battlefield, just released a little, which made the hired workers' legs tremble, and none of them were not afraid.

He wasn't evil, but he wasn't a good either. He is willing and will give some help to people in difficulty when he has spare energy, he doesn't need to be grateful, but he will not tolerate those who have long hopeful. gave them such good conditions, but they were not greedy enough, and they arranged his second dog! What if only a few of them could farm?
