With a rooster crow, Chen honestly rubbed his eyes and got up from the bed.

The early morning in Wanxian County was a little cold, Chen Laoshi put on his clothes, washed his face with cold water, and the whole person suddenly sobered up a lot.

There are a lot of ownerless wastelands in this generation, and the government said that whoever reclaimed it would be anyone's.

Chen honestly said that such a good opportunity must not be missed, and a few more acres of land must be cultivated.

If one person is definitely too busy, fortunately he borrowed a cow from the government. This solves a big problem, and the oxen can plow the land much faster than a human.

Chen Laoshi is forty-three years old this year, but he still can't get a daughter-in-law alone.

He often secretly scolded this world for not giving people a way to live. The Western Army and the official army are fighting chaotically around Wanxian, and no one will give up if you come and go. All the young people could run away, and Chen Laoshi also ran.

But later one of his fellow villagers came to him and said that the thieves had been driven away by the official army. Today's eastern Sichuan is presided over by the new Sichuan governor Wen Anzhi.

Governor Wen is a great good man. Not only did they not catch the strong men, but they also encouraged the people to reclaim the land. Whoever reclaims the wasteland, that land counts. If you really don't want to reclaim wasteland, you can rent high-quality farmland directly from the government, and the government will also reduce the rent and interest.

At first, Chen honestly didn't believe it. How can there be such a good thing in this world?

Not to mention anything else, isn't the government just living by collecting taxes? How can there be a reason why you can't get along with yourself?

But his little fellow patted his chest and assured that what he said was true, that he had reclaimed two acres of wasteland and rented another acre of high-quality farmland.

The little fellow persuaded again and again, and finally said that Chen Honest was a little tempted.

He hears in his heart, sees is believing, and since it is so evil, he should always go and see it with his own eyes.

With the mentality of watching the excitement, Chen Laoshi followed the little fellow back to Wanxian.

I don't know if I don't see it, but I was shocked when I saw it.

I saw that there were many farmers in the farmland outside Wanxian County who were sweating like rain and farming.

Many of them are very familiar, and some can even be named.

It's really back, it's really all back!

Chen Laoshi was in tears, and he cried uncontrollably.

From that moment on, he vowed to work hard and reclaim a few acres of land of his own.

It's a good time.

If in a peaceful year, how can an acre of high-quality land get more than a dozen taels of silver, the key is that no one will sell it at all.

If you can't survive until you have to, who will sell your land? That's something that only a loser would do!

Whether it is a landlord or an ordinary farmer, the land is more important than the life of the family.

Wherever there is a few acres of land, it must be carefully turned over and left for future generations.

Which one is willing to sell?

The troubled times are good, the troubled times have given him the opportunity to cultivate and cultivate.

With these, Chen Honest has a head.

The harvest in the first year will not be very good, but after one year of fertilization, the harvest will be much better in the second and third years.

Chen Laoshi secretly swore in his heart that in three years, he would save money to buy a cow of his own in three years at most.

In this way, there is no need to borrow cattle from the government.

After all, the government's cattle are only used for the reclamation of wasteland, and if they are borrowed after reclamation, they will have to pay for it.

If you don't have money for the time being, you can owe it and wait until the crops are harvested to offset it.

Chen Laoshi didn't want to owe money to the government all the time, so the cattle must be bought, and it was only a matter of time.

Now that the land has been almost turned over, the next step is to dig deeper.

Chen Laoshi came out of the house and brought the cow from the cowshed, and walked out while eating dry steamed cakes.

Seeing the little fellow four, he smiled slightly and greeted: "Danwa, where are you going." ”

"Uncle Chen, don't you know? The government is going to give us seeds, and everyone is rushing to the city, do you want to go too? ”

Chen was stunned when he heard it, sending seeds? And such a good thing?

"It can't be fake, can it?"

"What if it's fake, everyone is gone, I have to go quickly, I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up if I'm late."

After that, the four eggs are going to pull their legs and hurry.

"Hey, you wait for me!"

Chen Laoshi swallowed and spitted: "I'll tie the cow back first." ”

Then he walked briskly towards the cowshed.

After the cow was tied, he trotted all the way to catch up with the four eggs, and asked breathlessly: "Danwa, why did the government suddenly become so good." ”

Until now, Chen Laoshi still felt a little unbelievable.

In the past, the government gave people the impression that they were fierce, and if they didn't pay for food, they would take it to the yamen with an iron chain and beat the board.

The taste of stir-fried meat with bamboo shoots is not pleasant. As soon as the pants were pulled off, the bamboo slab hit the belly piece really painful.

Chen Laoshi once ate a board, and he really didn't want to try it a second time.

"Hehe, I can't tell you about this. But it must have something to do with Governor Wen. As soon as Governor Wen came to eastern Sichuan, the government treated us a lot more kindly. ”

"Hey, the Governor is really a living Bodhisattva."

Chen Laoshi followed with two words of praise, and his Adam's apple swayed up and down: "I just don't know how many seeds I can get this time." ”

Seeing Chen Laoshi's appearance of being a fan of wealth, the four eggs sneered and laughed: "This is not very good." But you should have enough for two acres of land. ”

"That's great!"

Chen Laoshi clenched his fists excitedly, and his eyes lit up.

It's no wonder he's excited.

You must know that in this era, seeds are a very important material.

No matter how tight life is, ordinary farmers have to set aside some grain for seeds. Otherwise, what will be sown in the coming year?

If you eat even the seeds, the hunger of the present is over, but what will you do in the coming year?

Is the whole family going to drink the northwest wind?

Chen Laoshi naturally has no seeds in his hands.

He had thought of buying some, even on credit. But now that the government is willing to send seeds to everyone, of course he is not willing to spend another amount of unjust money.

Like the vast majority of ordinary people in this era, Chen honestly calculates carefully and lives with his belt in his trousers.

The county seat of Wanxian County is not big, Chen Laoshi and Sidan entered the city one after another, and followed the flow of people in the direction of the county government.

The crowd was surging, shoulders rubbing, feet kicking. Except for visiting the temple fair during the New Year, Chen Laoshi has never seen the county so lively in the past few days.

finally moved to the gate of the county office, but Chen Laoshi was blocked and couldn't see anything.

As for the four eggs, let alone the two eggs, their eyes are black.

Chen was angry and annoyed, but the four eggs rolled their eyes and said, "Uncle Chen, you lift me up." ”

Chen honestly said yes, wow, can't you see this little baby when you lift it up?

Without saying a word, he struggled to lift the four eggs.

The four eggs were able to see the scene in front of them all at once.

I saw that at the entrance of the yamen, several officials were distributing seeds to the farmers one by one. The sacks of seeds were bulging, and the open space at the entrance of the yamen was filled, and it looked like everyone who came today had a surplus.
