Chapter 235: He's the Kindness I Told You
The little begonia climbed up and showed no signs of falling, and it was not as tired as the adults.
It felt simple for her to get up.
After going to the post, Chen Dashan felt that he was about to get lost, going around and around, nine turns and eighteen turns, and finally arrived at the place where Zhou Yuanzheng and them lived.
Chen Dashan looked at the house they built here, although it was not big, it was enough for them to live in peace, and he felt indescribable sadness in his heart.
There were a lot of old people and children on the post, and the old people were not idle, and some people cut some things like weaving stupid baskets and dung baskets.
Some people don't know where to cut bamboo, and they are weaving mats and curtains from bamboo.
There are also weaving bamboo baskets and bamboo baskets.
The children followed with stones to help sort out the bamboo slivers.
Some of the children were very thin, apparently just running in.
I have been here for seven or eight days, and my complexion is much better.
Not far away, someone was building a house, someone was hoeing grass on the ground.
When they saw Zhou Yuanzheng and them coming back, they all stood up and saluted him.
Zhou Yuanzheng led Chen Dashan to his house and beckoned them to sit down.
Li Jia hurriedly went to fetch water for them to drink.
The things they drink from are bamboo tubes and cups, and the sweetness of the living spring water and the fragrance of the bamboo are still very delicious.
Xiao Haitang refused to hold the bamboo cup by herself, so she poured a belly of water into Zhou Yuanzheng's hand.
She sighed as she finished her drink, a look of satisfaction.
The little fox also came back, and when she came to rub her, she held the little fox's head and wanted to play with it and kiss it.
They sat and rested and chatted at the same time.
Later, Chen Dashan said, "Let's go and see the place where you are going to open up the wasteland." ”
Zhou Yuanzheng got up and prepared to go with him.
Xiao Haitang hurriedly stood up and naturally grabbed Zhou Yuanzheng's hand.
Zhou Yuanzheng led them eastward.
The east side has always been flat, but there are a lot of trees.
If they want to open up the wasteland, they have to dig up trees.
If you irrigate, you don't have to worry, there is a living spring in the northwest high place, which can be led by the road.
Zhou Yuanzheng asked: "Can you open up wasteland?" ”
Chen Dashan said: "Yes, but you have to cut down the trees first, so the cost is estimated to be a bit large." ”
Zhou Yuanzheng said: "We can only call on everyone to do it themselves, and whoever opens the land will belong to whom." ”
Chen Dashan said: "This is okay, at least let them have hope." ”
So, after they came back, Zhou Yuanzheng asked people to call Yanzishan and the people who came over to discuss things together.
Mo Yan also came with them.
Chen Dashan was very surprised when he found Mo Yan.
Mo Yan also saw him, stepped forward to salute, and said, "Engong." ”
"It turns out that you are going to go to Po Shanggang, and you still say that it is Dengjia Village." Chen Dashan said.
Mo Yan smiled a little embarrassedly and said, "I didn't inquire clearly at the time, but later I learned that they were on the slope after several reversals." ”
"So you know." Zhou Yuanzheng said.
"He's the kind man I told you about."
Zhou Yuanzheng thought in his heart that the relationship between him and the people around him was really close enough to the Chen family.
"Then you can discuss the matter, we have to avoid it first." Chen Dashan hurriedly said.
"No need, you can give us some advice on the side." Zhou Yuanzheng said.
Chen Dashan was embarrassed to go.
So everyone sat down together and began to discuss things.
Zhao Qirui They are all young men and don't have much experience at all.
They are all very simple, and they feel that since they are all a family, then whoever cultivates the land will grow the grain.
You can also help each other.
These suggestions seem to be very humane, and they are good for the common people.
But Mo Yan raised objections.
Zhao Qirui asked: "Then what do you say you should do?" ”
Mo Yan said: "These people accept our protection and our relief, most of the land they have reclaimed and the grain they have planted belongs to them, but one catty of ten catties will go to Zhou Gongzi."
They took one out of ten poultry.
If you sell your livestock, you should take one tael of ten taels of silver.
If it is slaughtered and eaten meat, take one catty of ten catties of meat, and the best meat should be served.
Other than that, there's nothing else in the name of it.
If they don't come out with anything, will they bear the favor of Zhou Gongzi in vain?
The guards around Zhou Gongzi still need to go to the field to grow food by themselves?
If you want to go to the field to grow food, how can you concentrate on protecting Zhou Gongzi around the clock? ”
He left them speechless.
Chen Dashan said: "I think what Mr. Mo said is reasonable, if it weren't for Zhou Gongzi willing to take them in, I'm afraid they wouldn't have a place to live until now."
It's hard to save your life, let alone anything else.
Shouldn't you grow food and take one pound out of ten catties?
How much do they have to pay when they farm in their native country? ”
Everyone was silent, and Zhao Qirui said: "Since this is the case, then let's do it." ”
So they each gathered their men together.
Because there are so many displaced people these days, he has gathered five or six hundred people here.
When they stayed here, they still couldn't believe it.
So when they were called over at this time, they were all nervous, afraid that because they had eaten too much, there would be no food on the slopes, and then they would be driven out.
If they are kicked out, there will really be no way to live.
Zhou Yuanzheng motioned to Mo Yan to talk about their latest regulations.
Everyone was very excited.
It's a lot easier than they used to.
And if they go to cultivate the land now, Zhou Gongzi will still provide them with food and drink, where can they find such good things?
Many of them used to be tenants to help the landlord's family farm the land.
Not only did they have to be exploited by the imperial court, but they also had to be exploited by the landlords' families.
They also once thought about cultivating the land themselves, thinking that in this way they could avoid being exploited by the landlords.
However, all the land close to their village belonged to the landlords, and they had to go far away if they wanted to open up the wasteland.
He was cutting trees and mowing grass, facing the loess with his back to the sky every day, so tired that his front belly was close to the back of his back.
There was not enough food at home, so they had to go to the landlord's house to borrow food in order to fill their stomachs.
The landlord really lent them grain, but he said that this was a kind of profit, and if he agreed, he would borrow it and pull it down if he didn't agree.
In order to survive, they had to draw and borrow food.
The land was finally reclaimed, and the landlord came to the door with the account book to ask for the account.
They obviously only borrowed a bucket, but at this point, it turned into a stone.
No matter how much they pleaded, the other party refused to give them a grace time.
In the end, they simply took a heart and said that there was no fatality in asking for money.
The landlord said with a smile: "Everyone is a fellow villager, who wants whom's life?"
Didn't your family just reclaim a piece of land? It would be nice to take the land and pay the account. ”
