Chapter 611: Close relatives can't marry
The four of them felt that it was not enough to build a thatched hut, but also to actually cultivate the land.
I don't know where the strength came from, and in just a few days, the four of them dug out dozens of acres of land.
At this time, it is winter, and winter crops can be sown.
After the land was cleared, the four went to the market town to buy the seeds, and then they planted the seeds.
Peng Zhou naturally doesn't know how to farm, but Ke Liang, Chai and Salmon are all middle-aged people who can farm.
In ancient times, it was an agrarian society, and there were very few people who did not know how to cultivate like Confucius Sage. Unless! You are a nobleman, and you can live by paying taxes. Otherwise! You have to cultivate the land.
Cultivating the land is a sign of this era.
Just like people in modern society who go to university, this is a sign of the times.
After sowing the seeds on the side of the valley, the four of them returned to the top of the mountain and cultivated the land there. The land on both sides of the creek was first reclaimed as rice fields, and then the dry land was reclaimed. And then! Sow seeds on dry land.
"Do you want to leave someone to guard it?"
After planting the seeds, the four of them sat around and discussed.
It's better to leave someone to guard it, otherwise! You may just be working in vain.
But! None of the four were willing to stay.
All four of them have family members in Zhou, and if they don't go back to pick them up in person, it is impossible for them to trust others. If you can't bring your family, aren't you all busy here?
Peng Zhou naturally wanted to go back, and he had a lot of things to do on Zhou's side. Other than that! He also promised LΓΌ Buwei to help LΓΌ Buwei do things. And also! He wants to say goodbye to his family. In a word! There were so many things that he needed to do.
"It should be all right, right? We'll be right back as soon as we get back. It's only a matter of a few months, so there won't be any accidents, right? Furthermore! We've cultivated the land, we've built thatched huts, and who's going to grab our land? In this deep mountain and old forest, the winner is king! If anyone robs us, they will also weigh their own strength. Peng Zhou said.
When we came, it took us more than half a year. Get back! More than a month is almost enough. Again, even if you walk slowly with your family, about two months will be enough.
Other words! As long as there is no delay, I can come back in about four months.
It is winter, and the crops sown take a long time to produce. When it came, it should be harvest season.
In fact! No one expects these crops to be sown. The purpose of sowing crops is mainly to hold the land, not to harvest.
After some deliberation, he buried the tool himself.
And then! Rush back non-stop.
There is no way! Time is of the essence!
I didn't know the path when I came, and it took half a year. Get back! Everything is a breeze. So! Soon. In just over a month, he returned to Wei.
"We're not just bringing our families to seclusion, we're bringing some reliable people with us! We live here, and our children and grandchildren have to reproduce here. So! We have to bring some people with different surnames and have their children marry our children. Otherwise! It is also a trouble to find a marriage partner. β
Peng Zhou, Liang and Chai and their children can be married. But! After this generation is married, the next generation is close to each other by blood, and they can't be married, what should I do? So! This issue must be taken into account.
Peng Zhou decided: not only to bring the twin eldest sister and his three sons and the baby girl of the Ge family, but also to bring his brother-in-law's other children who are willing to come.
The purpose of bringing them here is not just to bring them to seclusion and live a peaceful life. But! Get married.
"We need to bring our own family out first, and then we will find a way to bring the others!" Salmon said.
"Now! We had a conundrum......"
"What's the problem?" Peng Zhou asked.
"We took our family out secretly, where do we settle down first? It's a hassle not to settle your family well! The master knows that we are alive and wants to hunt us down! β
Peng Zhou said: "Is this still a problem? You take your family out of your fiefdom first. And then! Arrange to come to Hongyi. Don't send it straight over. But! Send it to South Korea first. Or! I made the illusion that I went to Korea. And then! and settle them in Hongyi. Afterwards! Let's find some more people who are willing to go to seclusion. When the number of people is almost the same, and no one wants to come anymore, we will set off together. β
"We bring more horses and farm tools with us, and seeds are also very important," Salmon said. Right now! We are familiar with the path and know how to get there. As long as we are careful on the road, there should be no danger. β
The plan did not change quickly, and when I came back, it was just in time for the Yangtze River to flood. Outcome! The four of them couldn't cross the river.
I waited in Jiangnan for more than two months, and I was preparing to cross the river, but it turned out to be the rainy season.
Outcome! It was not until the end of summer that the four returned to Wei.
It's true! People are not as good as heaven! No matter how good you are, you can't fight God.
Back to Hongyi! The three sons will be called dad. The baby girl picked up by the Ge family can already be called "Dad".
What Peng Zhou didn't expect was: It's only been more than a year since he left, and the result! The eldest twin sister gave birth to him a pair of twin daughters. A son, a daughter.
Ryo, Chai and Salmon sneak back to their hometown to pick up their families.
Zhenyi learned that Peng Zhou and his party had found a place to retreat, put down all the affairs at hand, and talked to Peng Zhou specifically to inquire about the specific situation.
"Over there, the mountains are high and the emperor is far away, and there is a lot of land that no one cultivates. There is no Son of Heaven above, no princes and kings below, and no nobles. But! But they are doing their own thing, as long as you have the strength of a few hundred people, you can dominate one side and be the overlord of the earth......"
Peng Zhou truthfully reported the situation on Nanban's side, and then said: "So! It is better to go to seclusion there than to live in seclusion in the Great Zhou world. If there are dozens, hundreds of people who go into seclusion, then! We can dominate one side, and we are not afraid of being bullied by others. β
"Oh?" Zhenyi is a human spirit, so he naturally understands what Peng Zhou meant.
The situation on the Nanban side is probably like this: whoever has the power and strength will survive well over there. If you don't have the strength, you live the same life as Da Zhou. People have little power and light power, no one hangs you!
The difference is that there are no sons of heaven, princes, kings and nobles, no exploiters. As long as you have the ability and you have dozens or hundreds of people under you, you can live well.
"In that case! Then you can take the people of our Hong family with you! I went back and asked them: whoever wants to go, go! Maybe? There can be dozens or hundreds of people! Zhenyi said.
"That? What about your sons and daughters? Peng Zhou asked tentatively.
"This?" Zhenyi thought for a while and said: "The same reason: they can go if they want to, if they don't want to go, I can't force it!" β
Peng Zhou said: "When the time is right, you let us tell them!" Say to the people of the Hong family, maybe? After listening to my words, they changed their minds and were willing to go to Nanban. Instead of going into seclusion, we moved to a better place to live, away from the chaos and wars of the Great Zhou......"
"Yes! Where is seclusion? It's clearly migration! Zhou has been quiet for hundreds of years. After years of war, civilians can't survive at all! Those nobles who did not inherit the title will soon become commoners......"
