Soon, a man in his thirties came out of the thatched hut, dressed in a dusty coarse cloth garment, who did not know what he was doing, covered with grass clippings and with a somewhat messy hair.

The man looked at the group of people standing outside the door, and his eyes widened suddenly, it was really strange, there were so many people in a ghost village like theirs?!

It's been a long time.

"Who are you?"

The man asked as he straightened his clothes.

"Where is the village chief's house? We are here to enter Baiyun Village. Father Song stepped forward and arched his hand.

"What? Are you going to live in Baiyun Village? ”

The man raised his voice in surprise, his expression was unbelievable, and his eyes were like looking at a group of people, as if he was looking at a fool, as if he didn't understand their behavior in Baiyun Village.

"Are you sure you want to settle in Baiyun Village? Didn't you inquire before you came? ”

Father Song said with a hearty smile, "I'm very sure, we have already handled the household registration in the county office, and now we are also a member of this Baiyun Village." ”

"Brother, listening to your tone, it seems that we shouldn't choose Baiyun Village, is there anything hidden in this?" Song Muyao on the side was very curious, and as soon as he stepped forward, he put his hand on the other party's shoulder very familiarly, looking like he was listening.

Hearing this, the man suddenly looked at him, and then said earnestly, "Looking at you like this, you know that you must have not asked anyone before settling down, right?" Pingsha Town is the most desolate town in Cangshan County, and the annual harvest is less than 40% of that of other counties.

Among them, our Baiyun Village is the most barren, and it is the most desolate of the three villages under Pingsha Town, you have seen it along the way, right? We don't even have a decent crop plot in our village.

It's not that we're lazy and unwilling to plant, but the sandy land here can't grow food at all, if it's not helpless, who would want to come to Baiyun Village to settle down, even if it is better to go to the two villages next door than Baiyun Village. ”

"Huh? No way? ”

"Is Baiyun Village so bad?"

"Can't grow any food?"

"And what are we going to eat?"

"We are farmers who rely on farming to eat, what can we do if we don't farm!"

"What can I do?"

"No wonder this village is so barren, dare to be like this."

"But our household registration has been completed, can there be any other choice?"

As soon as the man's words were finished, the Song family and the others had not finished speaking, but the villagers behind the crowd shouted directly, and everyone's faces were full of anxiety and worry, as if the sky was about to fall.

In fact, it's no wonder that everyone is so worried, these fleeing villagers are desperate to come to Nanban, the only comfort is that they can be allowed to open up the wasteland and farm, the soil planted is theirs, they deal with the land all the year round, and the last thing they are afraid of is hard work.

Now they finally settled down, but obviously the actual situation is a little different from what they imagined, before that, they thought in their hearts, no matter how bad the land is, it will not be impossible to grow any food, it must be that the local people are not good at farming.

However, I didn't expect that this soil really can't grow food!

Now that the only spiritual comfort is gone, how can the villagers who have been holding their breath along the way accept it? This undoubtedly extinguished their last glimmer of hope.

The reaction of the Song family and others standing in front was not as strong as the villagers' emotions, not that they didn't care about food, but that this group of people had never been in contact with agriculture and had no concept of planting at all.

Even if they are in such a situation, for those who have no experience, at least for now, they are not aware of this at all.

So even after listening to the difficulties told by the man, they only frowned slightly and didn't pay too much attention to it.

In addition to the Song family, who knew a little bit about farming because they were military generals who fought all year round, the Cao Wen family was a family of scholars and had never been exposed to farming at all.

Even the dozen or so people who committed crimes and were exiled lived in the capital before that, how could they have ever farmed?

The reason why the Song family is not worried at all is because they know that their family is not the material for farming, and they don't expect to live honestly by farming in the future.

What's more, they still have some family background in secret, so they have confidence in their hearts, so they naturally won't worry too much.

As for the Cao family and the dozen or so exiles, they are completely wasted people, typical of drinking today and getting drunk today, and they don't think too much about the future at all.

The Wen family naturally had worries in their hearts, but because of the Song family, their emotions were not so obvious.

"Okay, let's be quiet, what's the noise."

Seeing that the villagers were chattering non-stop, Village Chief Li hurriedly scolded everyone, didn't he have prepared for the worst when he fled before?

What's the trouble now? Didn't you have to embarrass them to Lijia Village, didn't you see that the nobles weren't worried? I don't know what these people are panicking about? I really can't hold my breath at all.

Since the nobles did not hesitate to choose Baiyun Village from the beginning, it must have its merits, and he and the clan elders also reached an agreement last night.

Whether it is the background of knowledge, or the knowledge of the mind, they are naturally incomparable, since they know that they are insufficient, then learn to follow the excellent and smart people to do things.

It's rare that they have the opportunity to meet such a nobleman, maybe it is another kind of compensation from God for their village, that is, they don't think about themselves, but also for the descendants of the village.

If they make the right bet, they may be able to find a way out for the children, and although they don't have much knowledge, they still understand some truths.

“.”

The village chief roared, and the villagers were immediately silenced, a group of them are all from Lijia Village, most of the people in the village are surnamed Li, and the village chief's family has always had an unshakable status and prestige in the village.

Because the village chief and the clan elders are basically from their family lineage and have absolute authority in the village, no one dares to offend or disobey the village chief and clan elders.

In the hearts of the villagers, sometimes what the village chief said to the clan elders was more effective than some mayors and town chiefs, and the village chief's family was also the most learned family in their village.

Because the boys of the village chief's family will be sent to the town's private school to study when they reach their age, although the village chief Li Ming has no talent back then, but his youngest son is very talented in reading, and he was admitted to the Tongsheng exam last year, and he is also the first famous scholar in their Li family village, and the future will not be too bad.
