Li Yuejiao lifted her hoodie and looked at the person, and recognized that this woman was the one she had rescued on the way when she came, surnamed Zhao, so she hung up the curtain of the hat and said with a smile:

"It's Sister-in-law Zhao, right? I don't see you for a few days, but my foot injury is all good? ”

Zhao Niangzi hurriedly put down the bucket, gave a salute in a panic, stomped her left foot again, and said crampedly but enthusiastically: "Okay, okay, I got the medicine given by Mrs. before, and now it's all better." ”

When Li Yuejiao came north, she helped take care of many stragglers, recruits and even recruits, and the Zhao Niangzi in front of her was one of them.

Zhao Niangzi's husband is a recruit from Zhenbei who was conscripted into the army, and both husband and wife are orphans.

Therefore, Mrs. Zhao has always been grateful to Li Yuejiao, how can she not be excited when she suddenly sees it at this time?

Li Yuejiao saw that she was indeed well, and nodded with a smile: "That's good, Sister-in-law Zhao is sure to be made up here now?" Where are the acres allocated? Can you get farm tool seeds? Can you show me? ”

She easily met someone she knew, and hurriedly asked many questions she was curious about, full of desire to take the opportunity to repair farm tools for the people and save prestige.

Unexpectedly, when Zhao Niangzi heard her question, she also had a sad face, looked left and right at no one else, and then came closer, and whispered to Li Yuejiao: "Madame doesn't know, we have arrived, but the land is ...... It's not sure when it will be settled. ”

Li Yuejiao was stunned.

What are these words? Isn't the land donated by the six tribes ready-made?

It's just that when she saw Zhao Niangzi's nervous face, she knew that this village was not the place to speak, so she groaned slightly, turned her head to Hu Mu and said: .c

"Second Brother Hu will help Mrs. Zhao carry water."

Saying that, she walked side by side with Zhao Niangzi enthusiastically:

"I'll go to Zhao Niangzi's house to take a look, and I'll ask Zhao Niangzi to take me to that field again, I heard that the water conservancy has begun to be repaired over there?"

Zhao Niangzi didn't expect that the general's wife would still be kind to people when she arrived in Anhua County, her dark skin revealed an unnatural red, and she looked at Hu Mu at a loss to carry the water, thanked her, and led the way in front:

"The little woman's house is over there, and the lady walks slowly, the ground is uneven......"

Li Yuejiao put down the hat curtain, covered her face again to block the wind, and when she entered Zhao Niangzi's house, she reopened the curtain and looked left and right.

The newly made wooden house, the wood is ordinary, and the wind is whirring all around; The furnishings in the house are broken stools, broken tables and broken cabinets, three boards and a bed with a broken bedding on top; At the door is a stove, and there is a large water tank with a notched water tank next to the door.

How can this survive the winter?

Sure enough, the brick house should be built, and the wooden house is afraid that it will collapse after only three winds.

And from the courtyard to the house, there is no shadow of farm tools.

Zhao Niangzi had already wiped the only chair in the room with a rag and let Li Yuejiao sit.

Li Yuejiao was not humble, and asked directly after sitting down:

"Mrs. Zhao just said that the field has not been decided yet, what's going on?"

There was no one else in the house, and Mrs. Zhao talked about what happened to them after they arrived in Tuntian Village, as if the conversation box had been opened.

"Madame doesn't know, before we people came, the general registered us early and made up a book, so after we came, the accommodation arrangement was very fast, the little woman because the man was in the army in the north of the town, was compiled in the village here, saying that our village has 3,500 acres of land, and each of our households can be divided into eight acres of land according to the population, there are bulls, the first five years give us seeds, no additional rent, but also distribute agricultural tools, pay sixty percent to the official every year, and the rest is our own. But now that we have been here for a few days, the ploughed field is clearly there, but we are not allowed to enter, saying that it has not yet been measured. ”

Zhao Niangzi said, with a complaint in her tone:

"So everyone is scared these days, but a few adults come every day, and they don't see any changes. Madam, it's already August, although this year's land is designated not to be planted, and when we came, it also allowed us to bring enough food for this year's winter, but we should also know what the land is like as soon as possible, at least let everyone turn over the soil, right? Otherwise, it will be too late until next spring. ”

(This chapter is not finished!) )

After she said that, she looked at Li Yuejiao, who was silent, and said cautiously: "Madam, the little woman also knows that the affairs of Tuntian are not under the control of the general...... But can Madame talk to the general? After all, from next year, we will have to pay food. ”

Li Yuejiao listened carefully to what she said, bowed her head and groaned for a while, before she opened her mouth to ask:

"Does that sister-in-law know if the water conservancy has already started to be built?"

"The water conservancy was already there, a huge waterwheel, but it was broken, and it was said that it would be repaired, and the embankment would be reinforced. But a few days passed, and the craftsmen went a lot, but they didn't see any action. Zhao Niangzi said.

How so?

Li Yuejiao remembered that before, Xue Zhen told her that the six clans could no longer steal acres of land because he returned to the north.

Is it because it can't be replaced? Are the six tribes stupid?

Thinking about it, Li Yuejiao got up and asked, "Sister-in-law, can you take me to the field?" ”

Mrs. Zhao thought that she was going to take care of this matter, so she immediately raised her eyebrows and nodded busily: "Yes, yes, the little woman will take Mrs. there." ”

*

Coming out of Tuntian Village, Li Yuejiao and her party followed Zhao Niangzi all the way to the west, about a mile and a half, and the first thing they heard was the sound of rushing water sandwiched between the whistling wind.

Further on, it is the Anhua River next to Anhua County, which comes from the west, turns a corner and goes to the southeast, and goes by the mountain.

The river is not very wide, but it is deep and the current is rapid.

Anhua County is located on the bank of the southwest of this river, and the mountain on which the Anhua River relies is called Dongfeng Mountain, from the middle of the mountain down are terraced fields, and then down the river banks are wide and flat fertile fields, not wide, but along the river to the south is very long, the terrain of the fields is slightly higher than the river, there are also embankments by the river, even if the river water rises sharply when it rains, it will not easily flood the fields.

From afar, Li Yuejiao could see four wooden bridges with the same interval connecting the banks of the river on both sides, and the huge waterwheels in the mouths of the three Zhao Niangzi stood in the water, which was magnificent, and the fields were even smoother.

It's really a good field and a good water conservancy.

But when Li Yuejiao got closer, she found that the fields in front of her were all abandoned!

It was only August, and there was no output in the field, so no one took care of it since the six tribes donated the fields last year, so that weeds grew on the good fields.

Many of the newly relocated households in the vicinity could only squat or stand at the edge of the fields because they could not enter, and they were full of pity and anxiety when they saw such a good land abandoned in the field.

Li Yuejiao's face was also difficult to look at, and the mother Tong who came with her frowned even more because she had been in charge of the fields for many years:

"Amitabha, it's really a sin, such a waste, God will be angry."
