A land reclamation area located on the west side of the camp.

Derek raised his hoe and pointed it hard at the grass in front of him, the hoe was deeply embedded in the grass, and he was turned over as soon as he used his strength again.

This method of cultivating the land was no stranger to Derek, who would return to his adoptive father's house to help plough the fields when there was no deathmatch during his time in King Scarley.

But he thought that the work of ploughing the fields was very tedious, because only a small part of the grain cultivated in the fields he could eat, and most of it had to be handed over to the local nobles.

Joy like harvest Derek has never experienced at all, because in the past he only toiled and did not harvest.

It seems to be the same today, the field he cultivated does not belong to him, but to everyone.

But Derek was full of energy, because he had eaten six meat buns in the morning, plus a large bowl of black rice porridge before going to work in the fields.

The food was so much better than what he had grown before! As long as he can eat those meat buns, he doesn't bother to care who the vegetables grown in them are for in the end.

"That's all for the morning's work, everyone has worked hard, put down the utensils and come over to line up for lunch."

Derek's ears rang with some non-standard lingua franca, a middle-aged man in a green coat with a hoe in his hand.

If Derek remembers correctly, he should be the person in charge of this reclamation project, and his name is Niu Shan.

When Derek listened to the other party's introduction, he thought it was a very powerful name, which should mean a huge cow like a mountain?

But this character, who seemed to Derek to be like an overseer, did not supervise their work next to the field, but went down to the field with a hoe himself to supervise their work.

Not only did the overseer point out what they needed to pay attention to when ploughing the fields, but occasionally they would pull out a lot of strange things out of the churning soil, sometimes some burrowing insects, sometimes some plant seeds.

These things were not of much value in Derek's eyes, but in his eyes it was as if they had found gold.

Derek didn't care too much because he had lunch.

He put down his hoe at the designated place, received a large bowl of porridge and two steamed buns, and then found a field and sat down.

As soon as Derek stuffed half a steamed bun into his mouth, the person in charge named Niu Shan suddenly sat down beside him.

This frightened Derek quickly swallowed the steamed bun in his mouth, and then immediately stood up.

This is the habit that Derek developed when he worked for those nobles, those nobles would not go to the fields at all, if they worked in the fields for a day and got the dirty things on their bodies, the most serious consequence would definitely be a whipping!

"What's wrong with the lad?" The researcher, Niu Shan, didn't realize why Derek was standing up.

"My lord, I didn't mean to offend you." Derek immediately stepped back and said.

"What? What offense... I'll just sit next to you and eat, nothing offensive or offensive. Niu Shan said.

Derek hesitated for a moment when he heard the other man's answer, but he found that the other party's hands were also covered with dirt, and there were many deep wrinkles on his face, and he looked very different from the nobles he knew.

"I see, you think I'm the landlord of your side? Aristocrats, in your words? Niu Shan instantly figured out why Derek was so scared.

"Aren't you?" Derek didn't understand what the door slammed and the landlord meant, but Niu Shan's voice was full of disdain when he mentioned the nobles.

"What the hell am I, we got rid of this thing eighty years ago, so I'm engaged in land research." Niu Shan said.

"Engage... Fall? You—" Derek remained wary.

"Like you, I used to work in the mountains when I was a child."

Niu Shan raised his hand, his palms were covered with calluses from the tools he had used for a long time, and of course Derek knew these hands, and so did his adoptive father's palms.

"You used to be a serf?" Derek was sure that the other party might have had a similar experience to him in the past, but now the other party was in charge of the reclamation project.

"What serfs? Oh! I understand, the translation of this word seems to be similar to the system on Lao Maozi's side, I used to be a peasant! Do farmers understand? It is to plant one's own land and collect one's own land, and no one can grab it. ”

Not long after Niu Shan learned the lingua franca of the world, he still mixed some Chinese when communicating with Derek.

"I can read here by myself, and in our world, the emphasis is on equality for everyone, if you kid can read as good as me." Niu Shan said this, patted his thigh, "You can sit in this position!" ”

Derek glanced at the place where Niu Shan was sitting, it was a pile of dirt, but Derek still understood what the other party meant.

"Everyone is equal, this... How can it be. Derek didn't want to believe the other man's words, "And our nobles won't let us study." ”

"Why can't we be equal? Aren't you and those nobles all the same brain, two eyes, two pairs of arms and two legs? Not much worse in intelligence, right? If they don't let you read it, you won't read it? Niu Shan's eyes widened and he said.

"I... I don't know, if we are known to the nobles about literacy, we will be punished. ”

Derek didn't understand why he couldn't study, but he still wanted to learn something, including reading and writing, so he sent his sister Tata to school.

He himself came to participate in the reclamation program in order to get food stamps.

"Alas, it's hard to explain to you, but you wait! I'm going to get the book. ”

Niu Shan did not do this kind of research, but this reclamation plan also brought experts in this area, he stood up with the iron bowl in his hand, and walked quickly towards the tent temporarily set up next to the reclamation field.

Derek didn't wait long when he saw Niu Shan walking out with a book, and Derek had just finished eating the two steamed buns in his hand.

Niu Shan directly stuffed the book into his hand.

"I can't read." Derek glanced at the book, which was not very thick, of course, the book was written in Chinese, and he could not even read the text of the lingua franca, let alone read Chinese.

"If you don't understand, I can teach you, the reclamation plan will last for a month or two, provided that you are interested, young man." Niu Shan said.

Derek nodded, of course he was interested in that equal world, Derek didn't expect to be a nobleman, but at least he hoped to reap as much as he sowed in the future.
