Chapter 597: Clearing the Wasteland

"Third daughter-in-law, are you spewing blood?"

"Ouch, why am I spewing blood? Did I say anything nonsense? Don't you know everything about whose daughter-in-law has a miscarriage, and what medicine the Lin family sells for women who have a miscarriage? Come and see, come and comment, my sister-in-law ......."

"Don't come, don't come, nothing, don't come!" The Qin clan was in a hurry and hurriedly rushed people.

The people in the village love to chew the root of their tongue, if they are said that she can't even protect her own flesh and bones, then what's the point?

Shen Yingyue smiled at the flustered Qin Clan, raised her eyebrows and smiled.

Qin's strange thing bumped into her muzzle by herself, so don't blame her for being polite.

Liang Hanchu stood next to Shen Yingyue with a light smile, as long as she had fun. Shen Yingyue was indeed having a good time, and she felt happy when she saw Qin's-like expression.

"Are you all here? It doesn't take everyone to come, just send a representative from each household. The chief asked with the documents given by the government.

The chief's son and daughter-in-law helped to count the number of people, and when everyone had arrived, they began to announce the official documents.

It turned out that Liantang Village was to be notified that the wasteland had been cleared.

Liantang Village is going to open up wasteland, this matter has long been rumored, didn't everyone have already cut down the trees on the other side of Lion Ridge in early winter last year? And now, the official document is down.

The land management of the Ming Dynasty is extremely strict, whether it is a private field, an official field, a military field, a village field or other types of fields, as long as it is a field, it is necessary to compile a fish scale book and report it to the government, and the land must be opened up with the consent of the government, so it is not possible to open up the land if you want to.

However, for farmers, this kind of thing can make their own families have more land; For the government, it is possible to collect more taxes. Therefore, whether it is the government or the peasants, everyone is willing to do this, so the matter of clearing the land is a win-win situation for the peasants and the imperial court.

According to the scope of land reclamation demarcated by the government this time, and then according to the population of the village, it is divided evenly, and each person is seven points of land. Shen Yingyue's family has three people, so there are a total of two acres and one point.

Although there is not much land, it is the icing on the cake for those who already have land in the village, and it is a relief for people like Shen Yingyue and Liang Hanchu who do not have land.

They finally had their own field, two acres and one cent, which was the size of three and a half basketball courts, enough to grow a lot of things.

After reading the documents of the government, the lieutenant commander assigned the task.

Originally, it was based on population, and each population cultivated an average of seven points of land.

Later, considering that some families are all female dependents, such as Zheng Lin's family, Zheng Yi went to school in the county, and there was no male to work, so the chief changed his strategy and let the men work, help each other, and help those families who have no male in the family or the man is not at home to open up the wasteland, and the female dependents to rest.

In addition, the government should first completely reclaim the land that has been set aside by the government to open up the wasteland, and then distribute the new land, so that some people will not be careful when cultivating their own fields, and they will be sloppy when helping others to reclaim their fields.

After the chief announced, he asked each family to go home and get farm tools to clear the wasteland. Although it is now late winter and early spring, the snow and ice covering the land have not completely melted, so it is not yet possible to grow crops, and there is no farm work to do.

When he got home, Liang Hanchu went out with a hoe, and Shen Yingyue cooked at home.
