Chapter 106: Clearing the Wasteland
The weak family held a banquet, and almost the entire village came.
The banquet ordered in the town has fish and meat, a total of twelve dishes, ten of which are meat dishes.
After the wine is good and the meat is good, and the wine and food are full, everyone still does not disperse, and they gather together to talk happily.
The village chief said happily: "Xuanbao! You are really everyone's little blessing, you saved the people of the whole county, no wonder the emperor rewarded you! Old man, I have never dreamed of what the Holy Decree looks like in my life, but I didn't expect to see it in reality. Xuanbao! In the future, the village chief's grandfather will be mixed with you! You say a variety of one season of rice, I will follow a variety of one season, you plant fruit trees, I will plant fruit trees, don't forget to bring the village chief grandfather! ”
Weak Xuan was gnawing on the rabbit leg beside her mother, and when she heard this, she said, "Okay, I will also prepare one more for the village chief's grandfather when the time comes to prepare fruit seedlings and seeds." ”
"Haha, good, good!"
The other villagers were a little envious when they heard this, but they didn't have the money to buy a barren mountain!
Recently, the villagers have harvested all the flooded paddy in their fields, and some of them have sprouted and are no longer edible, with only one-third of the previous year's harvest.
Some villagers couldn't help but ask: "Xuanbao, your family plans to grow a crop of rice when you put the fields out?" ”
Xuanbao nodded her little head: "That's right!" We have too little food at home! I want to grow more rice and harvest more grain. ”
When Da Niu heard this, her mother chased and asked, "Xuanbao, can you guarantee that you will be able to plant successfully?" Won't delay summer planting? ”
A few hesitant villagers also chased after them and asked, "Yes, Xuanbao, is it too late to grow a variety of one-season rice?" When the time comes, there will be no harvest, and the summer planting will be delayed, right? If the summer planting is delayed, and the summer harvest is not harvested, we will have to eat the northwest wind. You give me a good word, you say that if you plant for three seasons, you will definitely be able to harvest, and your aunt will plant with you! ”
"Xuanbao, you are Fubao, we also want to plant, but we are afraid that there will be no harvest, you give us a bottom, do you guarantee a bumper harvest and will not delay the summer harvest? Uncle believes in you! You are a blessing and have saved the people of the whole county, and we believe your words. ”
Isn't this clear that bullying Xuanbao is only three years old and digging a pit for Xuanbao?
Growing grain is such a thing, you have to eat according to God's face, who dares to guarantee it?
Lei Pozi and Old Lady Xuanyuan were afraid of Xuanbao's young age and the trap of not knowing how to speak, and just as they wanted to speak, Weak Xuan had already spoken: "I can't guarantee it!" My family is just trying, and there is no guarantee of a harvest. There is a risk in growing food, you decide for yourself, it is none of my business whether you grow it or not, and it is not my family's business! ”
Weak Xuan doesn't understand human feelings, but she's not stupid!
The questioner said with a look that you promised, and when there was no food to collect, I would look for you to settle accounts, so she didn't give them a guarantee.
Love to plant or not, what does it matter to her a flower?
The plant kingdom has always been self-sustaining.
If they ask well, Weak Xuan will give them a good word, but for people with bad intentions, Weak Xuan doesn't care!
To meddle is to ask for trouble.
Lei Pozi and Old Lady Xuanyuan were finally relieved.
Old Madam Xuanyuan thought to herself: Xuanbao is really smart, she understands the trap in the words of these people, and what she said is not leaky.
Lei Pozi reminded the villagers again: "It is our own business to grow a season of rice, and we don't guarantee success, just give it a try!" We won't ask everyone to plant together, you plant or not, think for yourself, and bear the consequences yourself, we weak families won't care! ”
The village chief said angrily: "You can't be a man!" What about the pit baby! I tell you, don't plant if you're afraid, don't plant and don't want to rely on the weak family if you don't have food to harvest! It's your own business to plant or not to plant! If you have received food, you will not give it to the weak! If you dare to cheat, Lao Tzu will drive you out of the village! ”
Da Niu mother laughed when she heard this: "I didn't think like that, I just wanted to be sure!" Since I'm not sure, I won't plant it. ”
"That's right! We don't think like that, isn't it big-hearted, small-hearted, don't know how to do it, and want to confirm it? ”
The village chief waved his hand: "Who can be sure of this kind of thing?" Do whatever you want! Just like me, I just follow the weak family, and I admit it when I lose and earn, and it has absolutely nothing to do with the weak family! If any of you are like me and can bear the consequences yourself, try to plant it! Otherwise, don't try it, lest you harm others and yourself! ”
Several families who were friendly with the weak families followed suit and spoke one after another.
Yongfu nodded: "The village chief is right!" Me too! I also planted a season of rice with the weak family, and the seedlings have been raised! Whether it can be done or not, it has nothing to do with the weak. ”
Guangcai: "I also planted with a weak family, it doesn't matter if I can Chengdu or not!" Even if the grains are not harvested, isn't it just a waste of effort and a few catties of grains! ”
The village chief nodded: "That's the reason!" If we plant it, it's not too late for you to plant next year! ”
When those villagers heard this, they also thought that they would see if they could plant it this year, and if they could, it would not be too late next year.
Old Mrs. Xuanyuan looked at these villagers and thought: This is the truth that supports the bold and starves the cowardly!
But life is varied.
Dare to fight, there is a good dare to fight.
Nine out of ten are stable, and there are nine out of ten that are stable in step by step, and it is good to be done step by step.
It's just that everyone is responsible for their own choices.
Weak Xuan thought that now that the silver is sufficient, and she cultivates fruit tree saplings in the Qiankun bag, and they can be cultivated soon, so she said: "My family has a hundred acres of land that needs to be turned over, and there are mountains and wasteland that need to be cleared. ”
The 100 acres of land given by the emperor are also in Shaxi County, but in the next village, not far from Xishui Village, and Wan Xuan also plans to grow a season of rice and harvest more grain.
Since you want to plant, you have to turn the ground out first!
Weak water nodded: "Yes, the wages of the wasteland are 100 wen a day for men and 50 wen a day for women." It can also be calculated by mu, two hundred wen per mu. If you plough the fields for 100 yuan per acre, you can call relatives and friends from other villages to come and help, and the wages are the same, and there is no food. ”
As soon as everyone heard this, they immediately signed up to participate.
This price is not low, just enough to earn some silver for the New Year.
"My family is going to turn the ground!"
"I'm going to turn the ground too!"
"We open up the wasteland, a family of seven!"
"Our family is going to clear the wasteland!"
Weak Shui said loudly: "Everyone will go to work in the fields at the beginning of tomorrow, and when the salary is settled every day, I will find my eldest brother and the village chief to settle it." ”
"Okay, I'll be there on time tomorrow!"
Because the wasteland will be cleared tomorrow, everyone will disperse quickly, go back to sleep early, and have enough energy to open up the wasteland tomorrow.
The next day
As soon as the morning dawned, many villagers brought water, and the whole family, young and old, went to clear the wasteland.
Because it can be calculated by the mu, diligent people want to do more if they can do more.
The rest of the weak family wanted to print books, so Lei Pozi took a few children as overseers, patrolling around the barren mountains and wastelands, and followed the wasteland by the way.
The 100 acres of land given by the emperor, the weak sea took people over to recognize the field boundary, no need to look at it, just go to the acceptance and give the silver after turning it over.
Just when the weak Xuan was weeding and getting rid of the weeds all over his head, one carriage after another got off the official road and headed in the direction of the weak family.
See you in the evening~
