Although the village chief is a little old and his legs and feet are a little inconvenient, he is very quick to do things.

One of them nailed a stake to the side, and the other tied a rope.

The rope is an ordinary hemp rope, but there is a knot every one foot, after the fence, directly count the knots on each side, if it is less than a foot, it is measured with a ruler.

The ruler is a bamboo board with a scale on it, Su Mo looked at it when she helped hold it, and the scale was not very accurate compared to the scale of her world.

This ruler is exactly one foot long, and in the Dayong Dynasty: one ruler is equal to 30 centimeters, but in fact, this ruler is 40 centimeters long.

Su Mo didn't care too much, after all, it was a world derived from a novel, and everything couldn't be studied with the thinking of her world, otherwise it would only add trouble to herself.

The wasteland was quickly measured, and the village chief took out a piece of paper from his bosom, and a piece of charcoal, which was slender, and stuck in the bamboo pipe, revealing a small half.

Su Mo was a little surprised, and recalled, this thing is called charcoal, and I don't know who figured it out, because it is cheap and convenient, and it is all the rage.

But after a while, all the major families stood up and criticized the students who used this thing, and generally said that the charcoal should not be on the table......

The major families boycotted, and the status of charcoal plummeted, and even some scholars were seen using charcoal in the academy and were ostracized by their classmates.

Since then, charcoal has only been circulated among the common people.

"Thirty-three inches and six centimeters long, twenty-two inches wide, almost a penny."

As the head of a village, he must be literate and able to count.

The village chief put the charcoal and paper back in his arms, and when the time came to go to the yamen, he had to leave the paper for the yamen.

The morning light shines through the shade of the trees, and the stars fall to the ground in dots, dappled and scattered.

Su Mo helped put away the rope and stood up, and saw a trace of pain on the village chief's face, his hand clenching the cane, and slowly moving his ankle, which was faintly painful.

After noticing Su Mo's up, he immediately sorted out the emotions on his face, as if it was just Su Mo's illusion.

"Let's go!"

The village chief said calmly, turning around with a cane, he walked very slowly, his body up and down.

Su Mo followed behind, his eyes a little complicated.

This piece of land was at the foot of the mountain, so it was a short walk north to the road to the neighboring village, and Su Mo would pick this place at that time, or because it was estimated that five meters to the south, there was a small stream gushing down from the mountain spring on the mountain.

The two walked on the trail, and after a while, they arrived at the main road, and there was some surprise, Chen Yuanhai led the ox cart and stopped on the side of the road.

"No one went to the county today, so I talked to them and drove the ox cart to Gu's house.

As a result, I heard that Ping'an said that you haven't gone back yet, so you came over......"

Chen Yuanhai greeted him with a simple smile and held the village chief's wrist very skillfully.

"Second uncle, I'll help you."

The village chief's legs couldn't stand for a long time, and he couldn't walk much, if he didn't know the specific location of this wasteland, he would have gone straight to it.

The village chief was helped to make an ox cart, and the pain in his ankle weakened, and the whole person was immediately relieved.

Chen Yuanhai shouted at Su Mo to get into the ox cart again.

"The sun is shining, come up quickly."

The road is a little wide, with three ox carts running in parallel, so there is no shade in the center.

The summer sun is not divided into morning, noon and night, the sun is slanting over, and there is no wind blowing, and fine sweat breaks out on the forehead after a while.

Su Mo was not hypocritical, and got on the ox cart neatly.

The ox cart drove slowly, and the slightest breeze blew through, blowing away a little bit of heat.

The village chief seemed to be a little uncomfortable, rubbing his ankles with his hands, Su Mo pursed his lips and looked at Chen Yuanhai's back.

"Third brother of the Chen family, if you want to go to the Yuzhou Mansion, how should you go?"

"There is a carriage in the county to go to the state capital."

Chen Yuanhai held the reins tightly in his hand, and when he heard Su Mo calling him, he subconsciously answered, and then reacted and frowned.

"The Gu family's sister-in-law is going to the Yuzhou Mansion?"

The village chief also frowned and glanced at Su Mo, but did not say anything.

"When I was at my mother's house before, I read a miscellaneous book that wrote about the reasons why the fields by the sea could not be planted and the solutions, but it was too long and I can't remember the solutions.

I went back to the county bookstore but couldn't find it, so I gave up.

Who would have thought that now there are fifteen acres of land, so I thought about it and went to the state of Yuzhou to have a look. ”

Su Mo noticed that the village chief's gaze was getting hotter, she pretended to be embarrassed and lowered her head, her eyelashes trembled slightly, and her voice was lowered.

"If I can find it, I won't have to worry about my family's livelihood in the future......"

Chen Yuanhai and the village chief were shocked.

The ox cart stopped with a bang, and Chen Yuanhai turned his head, his eyes glaring like copper bells.

"Is this true?"

He stared at Su Mo in a daze, and his heart was already turbulent.

Their family is one of the few families in the village who do not go to sea.

At the beginning, Chen Yuanhai's grandfather and two uncles went to sea with their father, but they never thought that it would rain heavily and the sea breeze would be strong, and the boat would capsize directly, and when the four of them were swept to the shore by the waves, they all had only one breath left.

The village chief guarding the seaside hurriedly rescued, but in the end, only Chen Yuanhai's father was rescued, and from then on, Chen Yuanhai's father had a shadow in his heart about the sea.

renamed his eldest son Chen Cihai, and later gave birth to a son, who was also named Chen Lihai and Chen Yuanhai.

The three brothers were forbidden to go near the seashore and were not allowed to go out to sea to fish.

It's just that if you don't go to sea, how can you have money?

Chen Yuanhai's father suffered serious losses because of that time, and he couldn't do heavy work.

Fortunately, the village chief helped the younger generations and handed over the work of selling fish to Chen Yuanhai's family, and also handed over the work of driving the ox cart to his family, so that the family could have food and clothing.

But after a long time, it is inevitable that some people will have opinions, especially Mrs. Wang's family often refuses to pay for the car in the name of relatives.

But if what Su Mo said is true, it means that their good days are coming......

The village chief was also as excited as Chen Yuanhai at the moment, it was not that he was not calm enough, but the temptation to grow crops in the fields was too great.

When the villagers go to sea, they are gambling with God with their lives, and it is good that the wind and waves are calm, but if the sky suddenly changes, or they encounter sea monsters, their lives will be gone.

But if they don't go, where will the money come from for the family to eat and drink Lazar?

Work in the county?

At the beginning, someone once asked, after five hours of hard work, it was only ten cents, where is this enough.

Moreover, the village is close to the sea, and every few years in August and September, there will be dragons crossing the sea, and this repair of the house is also a lot of money.

But if the fields can grow crops, it will be different......

"Nature is real......" is strange.

Su Mo smiled lightly.

If you compare the setting of going out to sea to fish to make a circle, the people of Luoshan Village are enclosed in it.

Occasionally, someone rebels a bit.

I tried to go farming, but I found that I couldn't grow crops in the field, so I had to give up.

Later, I tried to find a county seat to do short-term or long-term work, and after inquiring, the little money was pitiful, and I rested again.

Later, some people wanted to raise poultry, but they couldn't do it, so they had no choice but to give up.

Then some people wanted to open up wasteland, but found that it was difficult to plant and gave up completely.

Over time, they are bound by this circle, and they no longer make changes, but deep down, they have faint extravagant hopes.

This is also why Su Mo was so shocked when she said that she caught a wild boar by digging a trap......
