The guard pointed to this piece and said in a deep voice: "This is the westernmost mountain range of Xunzhou Prefecture, and it is eighty miles away from the nearest county seat. It's all borderlands, and you can open up land here. ”

Liu Paner observed the environment in front of him, the vegetation was lush, there were rivers, ditches and streams. Although there is little flat land, the slopes are not steep and terraces can be opened.

Village Chief Li looked around and said to the guard, "Thank you, this will be Lijia Village in the future." ”

"The climate in the south is humid, two crops a year, three crops, and now it is still too late to open up the wasteland for farming. Four months later, my young master will send someone again. Before leaving, the guards explained that they hoped that these people would be able to cultivate the land and settle down with their own hands.

Village Chief Li nodded again and again, "Thank you Zhuangshi, thank you Lord Gu." ”

Although it was just this guard who only brought them to a deserted place, Village Chief Li was already very grateful.

When the guards left, there were one hundred and three people in Lijia Village, with a sad expression, and even a little helpless.

Zhou Cuihua panicked, "Boss, our food won't last long······"

Village Chief Li also relieved himself, "Don't be afraid, there are no bandits here, there may be fierce beasts, but we have weapons, don't be afraid!" ”

Liu Paner jumped off the ox cart, ran to the edge of the stream, saw that there were fish in the creek, and shouted with a smile, "There are fish in the creek, come and catch fish!" ”

Liu Paner's crisp voice relieved everyone from their frustration and ran over one after another.

"Hey, there are really a lot of fish, and the products of this south are abundant, even if we don't have anything, we are not afraid. As long as you are diligent, you can always find something to eat. ”

"Yes, I see that there is a lot of fruit in this tree."

"I can weave fishing nets, and the jute over there, cut and peel the skin, and I can make hemp rope and make fishing nets."

"I can work as a carpenter and build a house."

"I have a lot of strength, and I cultivate the land."

Everyone encouraged each other and had a little more smile on their faces.

"But we don't have seeds!" Li Dazhuang scratched his head, "Without seeds, we can't cultivate the land!" ”

Everyone was stunned again, at a loss.

At this time, Liu Paner encouraged loudly, "What are you afraid of?" We still have some silver on us, and when we settle down, let's go buy rice seeds. Eighty miles to the county seat, not far, two days to go back. ”

Village Chief Li also hurriedly said, "Yes, we can buy seeds." The women were catching fish and cooking in the stream, and the men hurried to see where we could settle down. ”

Village Chief Li took thirty or forty young adults and began to look for a place to settle.

Liu Paner used stones to build up the basket on both sides of the creek in a narrow place, and then put the basket in the middle, and the person stood in the creek and fixed the basket.

The small fish flowed down the stream, and after a while, many small fish swam in the basket.

Liu smiled happily, took another basket, and said to Liu Pan'er: "Third brother and sister, you pick up the basket, and I will change to another basket to catch fish." ”

Liu Pan'er should get down and pick up the basket, which contained about half a catty of small fish.

Fish, although small, are also fish.

Liu Pan'er beckoned to Li Li, "Ali, let me teach you, gently squeeze the belly of the small fish in this way, and the intestines inside will be cleaned out, washed in the stream, and then placed on a big stone to dry, which can be made into small dried fish." ”

Li Lixi smiled, "Third aunt, I will." ”

Li Dabao looked at it and said to Liu Paner: "Mother, I'll take a look around, first find a cave to shelter from the wind and rain." ”

Liu Pan'er handed over the basket, "Dabao, you come to catch fish with your aunt, and I'll go find the cave." Ah Rong takes care of Xiaobao and Ah Nan, Ah Fang cooks, and we go our separate ways. ”

Liu Paner carries a boning knife with her, and she also has martial arts, and she has more life experience than Li Dabao.

Liu Paner is now the backbone of the family, so said, everyone obeys.

Li Nan said in a milky voice on the side: "Mother, then you be careful, go early and return early!" ”

Liu Pan'er chuckled, stretched out her hand and gently twisted Li Nan's little face, "Okay, Anan and Xiaobao are obedient and come back to make food for you." ”

Under the eager gaze of her family, Liu Paner searched for the cave.

While Liu Paner was looking for the cave, her fingers touched the red dots on her wrist, and then she found that the warehouse space had become larger, and there were more than a dozen sacks.

When she looked closely, she saw that they were all rice seeds, and they were the kind of seeds that had the ability to reproduce.

Seeing this, Liu Paner's heart was overjoyed.

These seeds are highly yielding, and as long as they are cleared out of wasteland, the yield may not be as much as that grown with chemical fertilizers in previous lives, but they are also higher than the current rice yield.

With these, Liu Paner was relieved.

There is no cave here, which makes Liu Paner quite anxious. It is rainy in the south, and there are no caves, so you can only get drenched in rain. Adults can't stand it, let alone children.

"Uncle Village, the slopes of this place are not too steep, there are no caves, let's find another way." After walking for more than two hours, she still didn't find the cave, so Liu Paner opened her mouth to suggest.

Village Chief Li was also very anxious, and originally wanted to find a cave, live in it first, and then open up the wasteland and farm. When the land is planted, we can build a house.

"Yuan Qingjia, what do you think?" Village Chief Li asked, his eyes showing hope, hoping that Liu Paner could have a good way.

Liu Pan'er looked at Village Chief Li and said, "The house must be built, but now in summer, it is not cold, and the most important thing is to shelter from the wind and rain."

Let's first let the people in the village who can build houses build bamboo sheds. Uncle Da Gan, you are a carpenter, and you used to help work in the village, can you build a shed with bamboo to protect you from the wind and rain? ”

Li Da Terrier nodded, "Yes, it is not very strong to build a shed with bamboo, although it is very fast to build a shed, it may not take long." ”

Liu Pan'er smiled, "I can live, and fast, which is exactly what we need now." Wait until we finish clearing the wasteland, and then we will find a way to build a house. ”

"But I have built a house, and my family is just a strong laborer, and the rest are women and children, how can I open up the wasteland?" Li Dagan wanted to build a house, but he went to build a house, and no one at home opened up the wasteland, so what to eat and drink in the future.

Village Chief Li was also very embarrassed, some families only had women and children, and they could not open up wasteland.

At this time, Liu Paner thought about it and made a suggestion, "Village chief, I have an idea, we are a village, and there are many casualties in the process of escaping. Some people have no labor force at home, only the old and weak are left, and it is difficult to open up the wasteland and build a house.

They can't do heavy work, but they can cook, do laundry, and watch the kids. Let's divide everyone into miscellaneous work, cooking, building houses, clearing wasteland, and going to the county seat to buy seeds and plows.

In this way, all kinds of things can be done without delay, and the wasteland can be opened up together. Bamboo houses, allocated according to need. If there are many people, they will be divided into larger ones; If there are few people, they will be divided into smaller ones.

As for the fields that have been opened, the wasteland that we have opened up this year will be divided equally according to the per capita count. Children over the age of eight are the same as adults. Under the age of eight, half of the fields of adults are allocated. ”
