Chapter 517: Reclamation

"Okay, no matter how noisy you are, you can't solve the problem, according to me, it's better to find a way to steal money!" Xia Duoshou Road.

If you don't have money, you can't buy lacquer.

If you don't have lacquer, you can't sign a contract with the shopkeeper.

Mo said that eight taels of silver at a time is eight children at a time, and he can't think of it.

"It's easy for you to say, your mother is like a dominatrix, and money is her lifeblood, you go and peek secretly to see if you can steal her money."

Zhang rolled his eyes widely.

This man is useless except for a mouth.

She didn't know what she had taken a fancy to that man when she was blind.

"You have to quarrel with me, do you?" Xia Duoshou asked.

"I'm arguing with you? Xia Lao Er, you have no conscience, who is arguing with whom? It's clear that you don't get used to seeing me, and you want to mess with me. Zhang glared at Xia Duoshou angrily.

"You stinky bitch, it's against you, see if I don't smoke you to death!"

Xia Duoshou came up with his fist, and after a few slaps, a fierce voice sounded in the second room of the old Xia family.

Xia Duoshou waved his fists, and the Zhang family kept cursing, and this turmoil made the entire old Xia family know about it.

Even Xia Qiqi received the news and hid in the yard to steal fun.

In the courtyard, she almost laughed out of breath, but the soldiers who helped her frowned one by one, as if they were facing a great enemy.

Right now, before Old Man Bai came back, they were all Xia Qiqi's subordinates.

Whatever Xia Qiqi asked them to do, they had to do, but now, they didn't get any orders, and they didn't know what they should do.

Xia Duofu came out of the house and saw these strong men, and his heart was beating with shock.

"Qiqi, where did you hit and get so many people over? Don't they work at all? Chardon asked.

"I thought, but I don't have any work. The work in the field, you take your two sisters every day, and it's done early, and I went to see the watermelon field, and there is nothing to see. I can't let these people go, and I can't help it! Xia Qiqi said.

After speaking, she said again: "No, these people can plead for me!" My strength is limited, but these twenty laborers are not limited in strength! ”

Xia Duofu nodded, "That's right!" At the foot of our Beishan Mountain, there are still several acres of wasteland, but there are many barren grasses and stones, and it is not easy to reclaim them. ”

"Hey, let them go! Anyway, Ah Jiu said that the labor given away for free does not need to be used in vain. Xia Qiqi said.

Xia Duofu was stunned for a moment, and in his heart he felt that his daughter's words were feasible.

Probably, he learned badly?

After receiving the farm tools of several farmers, Xia Qiqi led a large group of people to reclaim the wasteland.

Such twenty mighty and majestic men, wherever they rest, are a landscape.

What's more, all like grandsons, following Xia Qiqi, the eyes of the people in the village widened one by one.

Curious, I came up and asked about the situation.

Xia Qiqi only said that he was a distant relative of Lu Jiu's family, and everyone didn't know Lu Jiu's family background, but when they looked at these strong men, their eyes were straight.

If such a group of men came over when the farm was busy, the work in the field would be estimated to be completed in less than a day.

Xia Qiqi led the people to Beishan and said to those people: "What, I know I have wronged you."

You are all future generals, but there is no high or low work, you kill the enemy on the battlefield, and reclaim the wasteland here, this is called being able to bend and stretch, only a big husband can do it, one day you, sooner or later you will be favored by God, all be generals! ”

Xia Qiqi went down with a sweet jujube, so that those who had complaints in their hearts could really only hold their complaints in their hearts.

But in the end, he is a trained tough guy, just like Xia Qiqi said, he can bend and stretch, grab the hoe one by one, and start working.

The rules of the Great Zhou, whoever reclaims the wasteland, belongs to whom.

However, wasteland can only be used as fourth-class fertile land, and it cannot be bought or sold without approval.

On the surface, seeing that this decree was quite rogue, Xia Qiqi still heard the meaning of protecting the weak from it.

Wasteland is not easy to define, if it is any day, the land of the poor family, because of the problem of the year, is wasted for a year.

When the rich man came up, he said that it was wasteland, and he sold it, and the status of the poor family could not be guaranteed.

And it's all poor wasteland, what else to buy?

Those who were able to buy and sell fields were basically rich people.

Therefore, Xia Qiqi sent people to reclaim the famine, and he became more and more energetic.

After a full afternoon, four acres of wasteland were cleaned.

The stones were carried away in a dustpan, and the grass was brought to the sheepfold to feed the two sheep.

On Chinese New Year's Eve, Xia Qiqi sprinkled manure on that wasteland, prepared to soak it for a few days, and planted vegetables.

The land at the foot of this mountain, as long as there is no need for drought, it is still more convenient to get water, as soon as it rains, there will be mountain water flowing down, and when the time comes, it will take no effort to plant.

Xia Qiqi told Xia Duofu about the completion of the wasteland.

Xia Duofu gasped in surprise.

Those four acres of wasteland are not easy bones to gnaw, and they let those people get rid of them all?

Lowering his voice, Xia Duofu asked: "Qiqi, you and your father are honest, what kind of old man are those people?" I calculated, if it is a farmer, the speed is not so fast! ”

Seeing Xia Duofu's face curious.

Xia Qiqi was relieved, and she said, "In the barracks!" ”

"Huh? In the barracks? Are you talking about the military camp of the nearby Yanwang station? Chardon asked.

Xia Qiqi nodded, "Dad, you know too?" ”

"I don't know, when I was young, your father and I almost went to join the army, but we didn't make it later."

Speaking of this, Xia Duofu still had some emotion.

When he was young, the country was much more chaotic.

Like now, you can still eat meat and white rice.

At that time, when I went to the barracks, each family could get 30 catties of white rice and 500 yuan.

That's a great favor to the poor family.

At that time, his mother wanted to send everyone out, except for the eldest brother.

It's just that a baby in the village who is in the same grade as them went to the battlefield, and when he was sent back, he had half a leg, and I heard that he was cut alive by the enemy.

His mother was very frightened, afraid that someone would send her over, and no one would support her in the future, not to mention that she would bring back a few debt collectors, so she dispelled the plan to send all her brothers to the barracks to eat imperial food.

Xia Duofu thought about the experience and told Xia Qiqi.

The corners of Xia Qiqi's mouth twitched and twitched.

For the sake of money, let her son go to the barracks, and for the sake of money, let her son not go, it is Mrs. Xia's style of doing things.

But the old woman didn't mention it.

"Qiqi, will you let Ah Jiu go to the barracks to join the army, right?" As if he had thought of something, Xia Duofu suddenly asked.
