Since most of it was tenant land, rent had to be paid; In addition, the ground is not very fertile. Therefore, the villagers are in a state of not having enough to eat all year round. It's in this situation. Uncle Qi also said that there are thousands of stalls in the village! It is said that this thousand households are not as greedy as other thousand household officials. At least the village was not hungry, but it was not hungry.

The people in the village usually boil some salt and sell it to the salt lord in exchange for some pocket money. So Liu Pei mentioned the question of why not open up the wasteland.

Uncle Qi smiled bitterly and explained to him, first of all, it takes money to open up wasteland, and it is not a decimal. Moreover, there is no income in the first year or two of land reclamation, and at most the seeds can be recovered. When the raw land becomes mature, the officials above will find a way to take it away. So it's better to just maintain the status quo.

Moreover, there has been no election in the health center for many years, and the young people in the village have nothing to do. At most, boil some salt and sell it. In this way, Liu Pei slowly understood the situation of the entire mountain village. What makes Liu Pei happiest is that there are so many young people in the village, which is the most useful for him!

Later, they also talked about building a house for Liu Pei. Uncle Wu proposed to renovate Lao Liu's house directly to Liu Pei, so as to save money and effort, as long as the villagers took a hand. But how could Liu Pei agree! He's going to protect him from the space-time gate. That's his source of money and his last retreat!

In the end, Liu Pei said directly: "Let's be honest, you can also see that I am a pampered person." I really can't live in a normal house. I'm going to build a new house at the back of the village in the direction of the sea. ”

Uncle Qi said unhappily: "You kid, why don't you have a plan to live!" How much will it cost me to build a new house? What are you doing with all that money now that you're alone? ”

Liu Pei lowered his head and said, "The back of the village is facing the sea. If someone from my hometown comes, they will definitely come to my house first and ask. Maybe the people from Anhu Island will come in the future. I'll build a bigger house first, and then they'll have a place to live. Besides, I'm rich now. When I left the ship, the captain divided all the money on board among a few of us. Uncle Qi shook his head and sighed when he heard this, and stopped talking, which was a tacit acquiescence to Liu Pei's words.

Early the next morning, Liu Pei came to Wu's house and checked Wu Yizhou's leg. I found that the redness and swelling of the wound had completely subsided, and there was nothing flowing from the drain. Remove the drain. said to Uncle Wu: "Okay, Uncle Wu, you can rest assured!" I'll leave him medicine for another two days. Seven days later, the injury on his leg healed. ”

Uncle Wu laughed happily when he heard this. No wonder he laughs. He is dozens of years old, and he has naturally seen what the consequences of similar injuries are, either dead or disabled! What a miracle my son's wounds healed! Uncle Wu said, "Great! Thank you! But what about the line on his leg? ”

Liu Pei said with a smile: "The thread is made of sheep intestines, which can be directly absorbed by the human body. After seven days, you just need to pull it, and the thread will naturally fall off. This made the three members of the Wu family very surprised. But this is not as happy as his son's illness! The family happily arranged for Liu Pei to have breakfast.

After breakfast, Liu Pei went to Uncle Qi to arrange the building of the house. Uncle Qi said that he would wait until he came back. He also asked Liu Pei if he had any silver? Liu Pei gave him a small ingot.

Uncle Qi took the ingots and asked, "Don't you have any broken silver on you?" ”

Liu Pei said: "No. When I escaped from the island, I got all this kind of money in my haste. ”

Uncle Qi sighed, picked up the axe, smashed the silver ingot into a cake, and broke it with the axe. He took out a piece of about two taels and said, "This piece is about two taels of silver, and it is for a thousand household officials." So that you can be registered. If you have more, you don't need it, lest he be greedy! Then let Liu Pei go around the village by himself and get acquainted with it.

Liu Pei thought that Wu Yizhou's leg was injured and there was one less strong laborer in the family, so he went to Wu's house to help. However, although he was born in a peasant family, he never worked in the fields. As a result, it didn't help, but it added a lot of chaos! But I didn't make a joke about getting rid of the seedlings and leaving the grass behind.

Later, Liu Pei found that he really had nothing to do, so he went to the grove behind the village to survey the terrain. He had always appeared and returned here at night, and had never looked closely at the grove. When I went here, I found that the terrain here is still very flat, which is very suitable for building houses.

So he pulled out his paper and drew a sketch. If you say build a big yard, build a big one. The resulting sketches are seven or eight times the size of an ordinary person. There are two and three rows of houses in the courtyard, and there is a huge utility room. The location of that utility room is the location of the space-time door.

In the evening, Uncle Qi came back leisurely. He said to Liu Pei: "Your household registration has fallen. It will fall to our village. Now you don't have to worry! ”

Liu Pei hurriedly thanked Uncle Qi for his help, and also showed him the sketches he had drawn. Uncle Qi looked at the sketch and said angrily, "How big of a yard are you going to build?" Do you know how much it costs? I'm afraid it will cost fifty or sixty taels of silver! ”

Liu Pei said in a low voice: "Uncle Wu, I can't help it!" One is to make it easier for my old family to find me. Second, when I got off the ship, the captain gave me more than 100 taels of silver. I'm also afraid that if my wealth is exposed, it will cause trouble! It's better to just use it all to repair the house. When the time comes, I will say to the outside world that all the money I brought with me has been built into a house, and it will be clean. ”

Uncle Wu thought for a while and said, "This is also a solution. The world is not always peaceful. Good people are sad! I'll help you build your house tomorrow. By the way, I'll help you spread the word, your money has built a house! You have to keep the extra money, you know? ”

Liu Pei nodded again and again. At dinner in the evening, Liu Pei followed Uncle Qi's family to drink porridge. By the way, he said to Qi Qitao, the young man who helped him get the first aid kit: "Brother Qi, I have some silver here." Tomorrow you will take a few brothers to help me buy food and come back. It will take me a while to build a house, and I always have to ask everyone to eat better and have the strength to work. ”

Qi Qitao saw that his father didn't react, so he agreed. Early the next morning, Liu Pei quietly explained to Qi Qitao what he wanted to buy, and Qi Qitao's eyes straightened when he heard it! It wasn't until Liu Pei repeatedly confirmed that he took the silver and led the people to set off.

Then Liu Pei followed Uncle Qi to the center of the village. Uncle Qi struck a few gongs, and the people in the village gathered. Uncle Qi told Liu Pei in public that he was going to build a house, and also showed the silver that Liu Pei gave him. Everyone offered to help. Uncle Qi allocated manpower on the spot. Go to a mason and buy bricks and tiles.
