Chapter 406: Buying Wasteland and Clearing Wasteland (3)

When the old man went back, he didn't expect that the third son went to the town to buy food and came back, the carriage was fast, and he chatted at the village chief's house for a while, so he was a little later than Zhou Yanliang.

"Dad, I've already told the shop in the town about the food. However, Dad, although it is coarse grain, the price is a little more expensive than usual. ”

Thinking of the price of grain, Zhou Yanliang was so distressed that he pumped straight away, this time he bought a lot, and the price rose so much, all of which were counted, and there was a lot of extra silver.

"Moreover, it is all thanks to the help of Shopkeeper Hong to buy so much grain this time, otherwise, I would not have thought about buying so much grain in the town. Next time, even if you want to, you won't be able to buy so much. "All the food in the town has started to buy in limited quantities, but this time fortunately there are noble people to help.

"Hey, there's no way around it. Fortunately, the family had bought a lot of food before, and the grain that had been collected by the family was not sold, so the family's food stock was enough to eat for a few years. If it's not enough, take out some of the food you have left at home. "The old man doesn't worry about food at all now, but when he hears the price of food, he is still very distressed.

Zhou Ziya listened to the eyes and kept turning, calculating, when to take out the food, and how to take it is the easiest to conceal.

"Little sister, what are you thinking about again, your eyes have turned like that." Zhou Zibao noticed the appearance of his sister's elf.

"Ah, no. Didn't think about anything. "Shake your head quickly, this is a secret, where can I tell it.

The next day, the old man and the chief of the village went to the town in a carriage with a silver ticket, and when they returned, they brought back the land of the vast wasteland. The old man even bought good wine and came back to entertain the village chief.

As for the 200 catties of grain, the village chief had already held a meeting and asked each family to give one catty of grain, and if it was not enough, the village would make up for it. After all, there are not enough people in Shanshui Village to have 200 households. Some stingy villagers were dissatisfied, but they didn't dare to offend the village chief. Of course, most people still understand the village chief, and these people can still take a pound of food. Otherwise, if it is really injured, it is not a pound of grain that can be optimistic.

After the land is bought, the next thing is to hire someone, which is too easy. Now those refugees have food to eat, not to mention clearing the wasteland, I am afraid that they will do bad things, so it is very easy to recruit people. Of course, when choosing people, try to choose some people who look honest, strong, and strong. By the way, a few women were recruited, and these women were used for cooking.

This trick really recruited a lot, dozens of people. These people are a group of people who are allowed to enter Shanshui Village. And these people will also have families. Including the family, there are more than 100 people in total.

Although it is summer and hot when these people come, they can't really sleep on the ground. Therefore, most of the people were arranged to open up wasteland, and some of the remaining people were sent to build some thatched houses in the mountains and rivers, so that these people could live, and they were very busy every day.

"Uncle, are you thirsty or not, this is the water put in the well, it will be cooler, you drink some to get hot."

Zhou Ziya has always wanted to find an opportunity to get food, and she planned that when those people were cooking, she would help herself, and then add some at a time, so that she didn't have to attract attention. As a result, her family did not allow her to go. It made her depressed.
