Zhang Zhao raised his head and watched Shen Yunxi and the others leave. Then he said slowly, "I don't know why. I always felt that the people in this village were very different. They are not satisfied with the status quo.

You see, many people are willing to accept the help of the local government and be content with the status quo, but they would rather risk starvation and find a new way of life.

There are many barren lands and mountains in the south. If we can open up fertile land, we can move more people to barren places to open up wasteland, which is for the benefit of the country and the people. ”

Xiao Wu seemed to understand, but he also wrote down the names and looks of the former Li Huacun and Shen Yunxi.

Along the way, he followed the young master through thousands of mountains and rivers. He was accustomed to seeing the young master's indifferent side, and he also saw the young master's merciful side.

Under the leadership of the guards, they walked for three days and three nights, and finally came to the barren mountain.

There are seven mountains, two rivers and one field, and there is no road ahead.

For the past three days, everyone has been worried, longing for a new life, afraid of the pain of the unknown.

The guard pointed to this area and said in a low voice, "This is the westernmost mountain range of Yueyang Mansion. It is 80 miles away from the nearest county seat. It's a land without an owner. You can carve out wasteland here. ”

Shen Yunxi observed the environment in front of him. The vegetation is luxuriant, with rivers, ditches, and streams. Although there is little flat land, the slopes are not steep and terraces can be carved out.

Tamura looked around and said to the guards, "Thank you very much. This will be the former plum flower village in the future. ”

"The climate in the south is humid, with two and three harvests a year. It's still too late to open up the wasteland and farm the land. In four months, my young master will send someone. Before leaving, the guard explained that he hoped that these people would open up the wasteland and settle down with their own hands.

Chief Tamura nodded again and again: "Thank you, Lord Guard, thank you, Lord Chincha."

Although the guards only took them to a deserted place, Tamura Chief was grateful.

When the guards left, there were 103 people in the former Lihua Village, old and young, with pitiful expressions and even a little overwhelmed.

Yang Dacui was very worried, "In charge, our food can't last long......"

Tamura also calmed down. "Don't be afraid. There are no bandits here. There may be beasts, but we have weapons. Don't be afraid!"

Shen Yunxi jumped out of the ox cart and ran to the creek. When he saw that there were fish in the creek, he laughed and shouted, "There are fish in the creek." Come and catch them!"

Shen Yunxi's crisp voice freed everyone from their loss, and everyone ran towards her.

"Heck, there's a lot of fish. The south is rich in products. Even if we have nothing, we are not afraid of nothing. As long as we are diligent, we can always find food. ”

"Yes, I think there's a lot of fruit on this tree."

"I can weave fishing nets. The jute over there can be peeled and made into hemp rope and fishing nets. ”

"I can do carpentry and build houses."

"I'm good enough to reclaim wasteland."

Everyone encouraged each other and smiled.

"But we don't have seeds!" Tian Tiezhuan scratched his head, "But we don't have seeds?" ”

The crowd was stunned again.

At this time, Shen Yunxi encouraged him loudly and said, "What are you afraid of? We have more or less money on us. Once we're settled, we can buy seeds. It is not far to the county seat, and you can go back and forth in two days. ”

Tamura also hurriedly said, "Yes, we can buy seeds." Women fish and cook in the creek. Men look at where we fit to settle. ”

Together with thirty or forty young men, Tamura began to look for a place to settle down.
