Wang Ze heard someone pushing the 'door' and entered, and turned his head to see that it was his father in this life, who was the previous middle-aged leader, surnamed Wang Mingyong, that is, the current leader of the cottage.

As soon as he entered the study, Wang Yong saw Wang Ze lying on the desk with a sad face, holding a piece of charcoal in his hand, and his face was black, and there was a piece of bamboo paper on the desk, and some words were densely written, but these words were missing arms and legs, and some could not be understood.

Seeing Wang Yong pushing the 'door' in, Wang Ze hurriedly stood up and said slowly to Wang Yong: "The child has been studying art in the heavenly realm for a long time, but it has worried his father!" ”

After listening to Wang Ze's words, Wang Yong looked at Wang Ze with some surprise and asked, "Heavenly Realm?" You've been stupid for the past two months, and your mother is so worried that you're studying art in the heavenly realm!? ”

"That's right, the night before two months, the child only felt confused, as if he walked out of the county town, and met an old man with immortal wind bones on the road, claiming to be the Antarctic Immortal Emperor, saying that he had a master-apprentice relationship with me, so he accepted the child as an apprentice and took the child to the heavenly realm to teach many skills~~~" Wang Ze said slowly, based on the life of the future life, combined with the fantasy of the fairy tales of the later generations, Wang Yong was immediately suppressed.

"Hmm~~~" Wang Yong's face was solemn, and he pondered for a moment of incense before saying: "This is also a good thing, although I have never heard of your master's name, but I think it is also a great immortal, and I need to put a tablet in the future, and worship every day!" ”

Wang Ze listened to what Wang Yong said and said yes again and again, Wang Yong continued: "Although you miss me and your mother in your heart, it is a pity that you have not been able to stay in the heavenly realm for long! But I don't have to be blamed by your mother every day. After speaking, Wang Yong laughed, but it seemed that he was secretly relieved.

"It's also a good thing to come back early, since you are fine, go with me to see your mother early, these days your mother is a little sick because of your affairs, because I am afraid of dyeing you, I dare not see you, it is better to visit early!"

A few days ago, Wang Ze learned about the process of getting acquainted with his parents from the eleven or twelve-year-old 'girl' who took care of him.

Wang Ze's mother, Gongxi, was the young sister Wang Ze thought that day, but she didn't expect it to be her mother. It seems that he is only about twenty years old, and his father is thirty or forty years old, and he still eats tender grass.

The surname of Gongxi is more in Xuzhou in the north, Qingzhou in the south and other places, and Wang Ze's mother Gongxi's family is in Le'an County, Qingzhou, and the family has some land, mainly in business.

Four or five years ago, when the Gongxi clan passed through the vicinity of Yidu in Qingzhou with the family caravan, he was robbed and killed by bandits, and the caravan and family were killed, leaving the more than ten years old Gongxi clan wanted to insult, but was rescued by Wang Yong, who passed by at this time, and killed the bandits to avenge the Gongxi clan.

Then Gongxi was moved by Wang Yong, and because his family had died tragically, he sold all his family property and followed Wang Yong back to Changguang County, where Wang Yong lived.

After listening to Wang Yong's introduction, at this time, Wang Zefang knew that the cottage where he was currently living was Changguang County, which was located in Guangzhou, Qi, Eastern Wei Dynasty, and now the Eastern Wei Dynasty has been replaced by Daqi.

Wang Ze was dumbfounded, Guangzhou himself knew where it was, but he had never heard of this Gwangju and Changguang County!

Next, according to Wang Yong's introduction, it was determined that the seat of Gwangju was in Donglai County, which was understood, after all, everyone knew Donglai Taishici. Then his approximate location is in the Yantai area in the later generations, which can be regarded as a developed coastal area.

Wang Ze, who was thinking about how to make money, didn't know that at this time, China's rich lands were all in the inland areas along the big rivers.

As the easternmost area of the peninsula in the later generations, Changguang County was barren and poor, and the population was sparsely populated, and the population was less than one-twelfth of that of Jinan County, which was slightly inland.

"At that time, the ancestor was a Han officer under Ran Tianwang, and after Ran Tianwang was killed by the Murong clan, he fled to Mount Tai as a thief after the defeat; By the time of your great-ancestor, you were already the commander of the Taishan group to raid and harass Zhuhu, and you were also famous in Qidi! Wang Yong said proudly to Wang Ze on the road.

Later, Tuoba Xianbei destroyed Murong Xianbei to occupy the Central Plains, and fought with the Southern Dynasties in Jinan, Taishan, and Yanzhou counties.

Your great-ancestor led the heroes of Mount Tai to attack Xianbei and the heavy baggage, and as a result, Tuoba Wei sent troops to encircle and suppress the heroes of Mount Tai. Your great-ancestor was killed to save his men, and the bandits fell apart.

Later, you Ah Weng decided not to be a thief anymore, so he came to this remote place in Changguang County, far away from Mount Tai, to buy a house and set up a family. ”

Speaking of this, Wang Yong stopped, looked at Wang Ze with a serious face, and said: "Two months ago, you were kidnapped while playing outside the 'door' at home, and later found out that General Qizhou sent someone to secretly collect three-year-old children to make a hundred children banquet, and Changguang Taishou secretly cooperated with more than a dozen children in order to be promoted, including you. I led 380 men to infiltrate the county town to save your life, and killed the county guards to rebel, and they did not complain and decided to follow, so that seven people died to save you! You must keep in mind this great kindness in the future, if there is an ungrateful act, even if you are an immortal disciple, you will not be spared! ”

Wang Zezheng said: "Daddy doesn't need to be like this, your uncles and brothers have such a great kindness to me, and the child will treat him as a gift from his father in the future!" ”

Wang Yong nodded and continued, "Since it is a rebellion against officials, there are old and weak 'women' and children in the family who must be protected. On that day, 200 young people blessed the old and weak 'women' and children in the Zhuangzi to hide in this cottage first. ”

"After we killed the officials, we went around the mountains and forests to get rid of the official army, but the matter was hasty, although there are some gold and silver money in the cottage, but the grain in the village is less than three months, and it is expected that the grain will be out of food after the year, although there is a large area of arable land in the back mountain, it will not be harvested until at least June next year."

Speaking of this, Wang Yong looked at Wang Ze with blank eyes and said, "Ze'er, since you are a fairy child, you may come up with a notice, no matter what, let the villagers fill their stomachs!" ”

Looking at Wang Yong's eager gaze, Wang Ze suddenly felt that the pressure was so great! Wang Ze still has some understanding of the situation of the cottage.

At present, the entire cottage population is at least 1,500 people, of which 518 are young and strong, and even if they are thrifty, they have to get 8 taels per capita per day (16 taels per catty in the ancient system), because the young and strong have the strength to guard against the encirclement and suppression of the official army or the sneak attack of other bandits, so they have to eat more every day.

Other old and weak 'women' and children have to consume two or three taels of food even if they drink porridge! In this way, at least 1,000 catties of grain will be consumed every day.

Although there is a lot of gold and silver in the cottage, it is not much on average with these people in the cottage, because Wang Yong used to help his subordinates and did not save much silver.

Half of the gold and silver in his hand now is the dowry of Wang Ze's mother, Gongxi, and the other half is snatched from the county town.

I have a headache, what should I do? If you don't have any food, you want to use the money to buy it, and I'm afraid that the grain bought with gold and silver won't be able to eat for a month.

However, less than ten miles north of the cottage is the Wuhu Sea (the name of the Sui and Tang dynasties at the junction of the Bohai Sea and the Yellow Sea, so it was used first), but it can be organized to fish first, so that a part of the grain can be solved; plus the gold and silver in the cottage can buy some grain, so that the grain in the village can last until the end of January next year. However, the winter wheat harvest will not be until May or June next year, and there is still more than four months to go.

I remember that there seemed to be a lot of salt farms in Weihai, Yantai, and it was more profitable to sell 'private' salt, but unfortunately I only knew a rough idea of the salt drying method, so it would take at least two months to explore. And if you kill the Changguang County Guard, I'm afraid it will take more than half a year to stop.

However, Wang Ze was born in the countryside, has done all farm work, and knows some agricultural techniques very well. Let's first figure out the reserve resources of the cottage, the cultivated land area, or something!

Thinking of this, Wang Ze said to Wang Yong: "Daddy, after all, the child has a short learning day, and he can't think of a good idea for a while, so why don't you send someone to buy food secretly, I'm thinking about it here!" ”

After listening to Wang Ze's words, Wang Yong was a little disappointed, but then he thought about it, after all, Wang Ze was only a child who was more than three years old, so he bent down and picked up Wang Ze and said, "Don't care about these first, let's go to see your mother first!" ”

································································

In the next few days, Wang Yong first sent his righteous brother Zhu Rui to put on makeup, took dozens of people to Qingzhou secretly to buy grain, and then organized more than 100 young people and some old people who were good at driving boats to go fishing in the Wuhu Sea.

Some of the young men are responsible for guarding the safety of the cottage, and they also hunt to increase the amount of food stored in their spare time, and by the way, they can also be used as scouts for the cottage.

Everyone else was sent to the back mountains to open up the wasteland and farm as long as they were able to move.

Wang Ze has taken a good look at the back mountain of the cottage in the past few days, and has a thorough understanding of it, there are one large, three small and four small basins in the back mountain, with a total area of about a few square kilometers, a usable cultivated area of nearly 10,000 acres, and several streams passing by, and the water source is sufficient.

"What a paradise!" Wang Ze stood on a high ground, looked at the beautiful scenery of the back mountain and shook his head and exclaimed, haha, we also have a super big 'flower' garden.

"Poof~~" The young 'girl' who accompanied him next to him couldn't help but laugh when she looked at Wang Ze's little adult appearance! Now Wang Ze already knows that this twelve or thirteen-year-old young 'daughter' is Cheng Xueying, the eldest 'daughter' of Wang Yong's second brother Cheng Chong. Previously, because of Gongxi's illness, he was sent by Cheng Chong's wife to help take care of Wang Ze.

"Since you woke up, you have become like a little adult, and the Qingqing sister of the Zhu family cried to me a few days ago that you didn't recognize her!" Cheng Xueying smacked her eyes at Wang Ze and smiled secretly.

Wang Ze smiled at her helplessly, didn't answer the conversation, and said, "Sister Cheng, which uncle is in charge of these cultivated lands in our village?" ”

"Of course Uncle He is in charge!" Cheng Xueying had a natural expression on her face, "Uncle He was the housekeeper of the family when Ah Weng was there before, if you want to find him, I will take you there." After that, Cheng Xueying took Wang Ze and walked towards a group of people who were clearing the wasteland.

Although there are nearly 10,000 acres of usable land in Houshan, it is only because everyone has only been here for two months and needs to reopen the wasteland for sowing, so less than 2,000 acres have been cultivated so far.

At this time, an old man who was nearly fifty years old hurriedly came to Wang Ze, this old man Wang Ze had seen, he had come to visit him when he first came to the cottage before, but he couldn't understand what the old man said at that time.

"The old man has seen Xiaolang." said that the old man wanted to salute Wang Ze.

Wang Ze hurriedly dodged, "Because the elders who are tired of the kid have turned away from their homes, how dare the kid be courteous!" Wang Ze said goodbye.

"The old man led your neighbors to reclaim nearly 20 acres of land today!" Uncle Ho looked proud. Wang Ze thought to himself, two or three hundred people only reclaimed more than ten acres of land in a day, and they were still so proud.

As a result, when he saw the tools for land reclamation, Wang Ze knew the reason: first of all, the tools for land reclamation were not good tools, there was no ploughshare, it was a straight plough, the ploughshare part was a straight wood, and only a dozen plowshares were wrapped in a small iron plowshare. It is not easy to use such a tool to open up more than a dozen acres of land in a day.

"Uncle Ho, why don't you use an iron plow?" Wang Ze was very strange.

"Xiao Xun doesn't know, although the iron plow is good, it is easy to break, we can't afford to consume it, and there is not so much iron in the village, after all, it is still necessary to make weapons to defend the cottage."

"I see!" Wang Ze thought about it, in the final analysis, it is still a matter of money, if there is money, everything will be easy to do, "Then the watering of cultivated land has been solved?" ”

He Bo replied with a smile: "Xiao Lang, rest assured, there are a few mountain streams in the back mountain, and after the cultivation period, the old man organized people to repair the Pi (Nianbei) pond, and our Changguang County has enough rain, which will be enough to meet the water supply at that time." ”

"Otherwise, Xiaolang, let's go and see the location of the old man's reservation for Pitang first!" He Bo suggested.

Before Wang Ze could answer, Cheng Xueying happily urged Wang Ze to go over and take a look.
