Returning to Shimu Village again, and finally seeing no more homeless people coming, Shen Jingcheng and Gu Jin breathed a long sigh of relief, their tense nerves relaxed, and they almost collapsed on the kang.

It's finally time to take a break.

More than 1,000 people, all the grain they didn't sell last year, even if they don't peel it, mixed with bran and wild vegetables to eat, it is barely enough for those people to eat for two months, fortunately, now that the weather is warmer, the mountains are full of wild vegetables, wild things, and winter wheat can be harvested in two or three months, otherwise those people they will not be able to raise for long.

After the wheat harvest is completed, the two plan to arrange those displaced people according to the way the people of Xicun settled down the year before last, and those who are willing to settle down will settle down, and each family will cultivate two acres of land by themselves, and those who do not want to settle down will continue to work if they want to work, and those who don't want to do it will return to their own families.

It's just that they still have to buy a lot of farm tools, and I'm afraid that all the money they used to sell grain last year will be gone.

Gu Jin felt distressed when she thought about it, and in her thoughts, she suddenly remembered the fruit trees that also sold a lot of silver last year.

No, you have to take advantage of the fact that the fruit trees have not yet germinated, you have to move the fruit trees quickly, and the apricot saplings that grew last year also have to be removed, and the seeds left after eating the fruit last year can also be buried in the ground over there, maybe some fruit trees can grow, as for whether the fruit trees planted like this will grow fruit, she doesn't know, but it's better to try than not to try.

So after resting for less than a day, Gu Jin and Shen Jingcheng led people to dig up fruit trees, and in order to survive, they dug up the soil and roots together.

When the two returned from sending the fruit trees to Qingzhou Mansion to plant, the weather had already warmed up, and last year's hired workers arrived again a few days later to start farming for the new year.

This time, Shen Jingcheng didn't let these people open up another wasteland, only let them still plant last year's land.

At the same time, he asked Jiang Zhengshu to teach him some simple words in his spare time, so that he could record the working hours of those hired workers and the results of grain harvests.

After observing this year, he and Gu Jin both felt that Zhou Quan and his wife were quite reliable and worthy of trust.

When they left, they handed over the affairs here to these two people, and every year in the future, Shen Jingcheng only came to check the accounts.

After all the immigrants disappeared, and after a while, Gu Ling'er slowly came here again, and when she saw that there were only pits left in the place where the original fruit trees were left, she couldn't help but widen her eyes in surprise.

She also thought that if she bore fruit this year, even if she still couldn't get Gu Sanni's response, she would still be able to eat a fruit, why didn't she have it yet.

"Auntie, where is our fruit tree? Why is it gone?" Gu Ling'er had a rare conversation with Zhou Quan's daughter-in-law.

"The master said that in order to settle those homeless people, all the money was spent, so he sold all the fruit trees, saying how much it was used." Zhou Quan's daughter-in-law said what Gu Jin explained.

Recently, she is happy, men have begun to learn words, which shows that men will be reused by their masters in the future, and she naturally can't drag men back.

Gu Ling'er was a little speechless when she heard this, how much money can the fruit tree be sold for? Isn't it good to keep it for food?

The surname Shen is also, there is no porcelain work for the diamond diamond, so if you toss it like this, how many family businesses will have to be tossed?

However, her thoughts could not be put into words, only secretly poked and poked.

At the same time, Lin Hu and He Zhilin of Yali in the other county also waited for Shen Jingcheng to settle down for the homeless, but as the days passed, the two never waited for Shen Jingcheng to come, and they also did not see those homeless people again.

He Zhilin asked Lin Hu to send someone to take a look quietly, but found that Shimu Village was very peaceful, there was no shadow of a homeless person, only some local hired workers working in the fields.

Hearing the news, the two muttered, and finally He Zhilin waved his hand and didn't care.

As long as he doesn't worry about those outcasts, love what!

A hairy boy, can he still turn the sky upside down?

Even if something happens, it's none of his business.

Lin Hu was speechless when he heard it, he had never seen such a big-hearted county master.

Isn't he afraid that Shen Jingcheng will make those immigrants rebel?

But what the master doesn't care about, what he can say with a master book, he can only let it go.

And Shen Jingcheng and Gu Jin are still busy.

The two went to Qingzhou Mansion every once in a while to see the progress of the yard on the mountain and outside the mountain, and at the same time, they also measured the fields that were opened, and then went to the county to report the number of acres of fields and get the land deed.

Zhang Jingzhou's eyes turned red when he looked at the acres of fields he reported, but unfortunately the imperial court did not allow officials to buy houses and fields in the places where they worked, otherwise he would have wanted to do so.

The busy days flew by, and after the summer grain harvest, a two-entry courtyard and an ordinary ten courtyards had been built with stones outside the mountain.

Ordinary courtyards are just simple bungalows with low walls. The courtyard of the two entrances is a two-story small building, and the high wall is surrounded by stones, looking from a distance, it looks like a small city.

The courtyard in the mountain is similar to here, except that the two-entry courtyard is built on a flat place on the mountainside, while the ordinary courtyard is built at the foot of the mountain.

These two entered the courtyard, and Gu Jin liked them very much.

In this way, they can buy another person, so that people can live in the front yard, and the two live in the backyard, which are not related to each other, and it is convenient for the two to do something.

Shen Jingcheng was also very satisfied, he had long felt that Gu Xiu was an eyesore, and he was dangling in front of his eyes every day, so that he was not good at having intimate actions with Ah Jin, he still liked to have a separate yard with Ah Jin, so that he could do whatever he wanted, and he didn't have to scruple about anything.

After the yard here is built, Gu Jin is reluctant to go back to Shimu Village, but because Shen Jingcheng is still the grain chief there, he has to take into account the tax problems there this year, and the newly built house also has to dry the moisture, so he can only go back temporarily.

It's just that before going back, Shen Jingcheng told these homeless people about settling down, the homeless people have been used to it here for half a year, and when they heard that settling down can also allow them to cultivate two acres of land, most of them immediately nodded in agreement, only a very few people, because they had houses and fields in the original place, reluctantly embarked on the way home.

After Shen Jingcheng counted the number of people to settle down, he divided each team into several groups, named the village, distributed the farm tools to each village, and went to Qingshan County with the booklet of the information recorded in each village.

After several dealings, he and Zhang Jingzhou have long had a tacit understanding, and now when he looks at the settlement brochure brought by Shen Jingcheng, Zhang Jingzhou immediately asked the master book to register these people.

"I wonder if my nephew is interested in being a grain chief?" After Shen Jingcheng sat down, Zhang Jingzhou asked him with a smile on his face.

He wants to keep Shen Jingcheng here, this person looks capable, and he dares to think and dare to do, this year the county has placed so many displaced people, his political achievements are absolutely not good, if Shen Jingcheng is left to work for a few more years, it is impossible to say that he will be promoted in two years.

Shen Jingcheng was stunned, but he didn't expect him to ask like this.

"That's right." Zhang Jingzhou explained: "You see that you have more than 30 hectares of land now, right? In addition, these newly settled villagers have opened up a few acres of land per household, and there are not fifty or sixty hectares, right? The imperial court stipulates that the collection of grain of 10,000 or several thousand stones can be divided into one district, and I want to divide those places into one district, and then how about you become the grain chief?"

"My lord, I'm not from Qingzhou Mansion now." Shen Jingcheng looked at him suspiciously.

Although the two have a tacit understanding, he is still from Jishui Mansion after all, so is it a joke to hand over the position of grain chief to him?
