Chapter 81 A place to stay
Zhang Zhao raised his head and watched Shen Yunxi and others leave. Then he said slowly: "I don't know why. I always feel that the people in this village are very different. They are not satisfied with the status quo.
You see, many people are willing to accept help from the local government and are 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 disaster victims to barren places to open up wasteland, which is beneficial to the country and the people."
The boy seemed to understand, but he also memorized the names and looks of former Li Huacun and Shen Yunxi.
Along the way, he followed the young master through thousands of mountains and rivers. He was used to seeing the cold side of the young master, and he also saw the compassionate side of the young master.
Under the leadership of the guards, they walked for three days and three nights, and finally arrived at the barren mountain.
There are seven mountains, two rivers and one field, and there is no road ahead.
In the past three days, everyone has been worried, eager for a new life, and afraid of the unknown pain.
The guard pointed at this area and said in a low voice: "This is the westernmost mountain range of Yueyang Prefecture. It is 80 miles away from the nearest county seat. This is a piece of land without an owner. You can open up wasteland here."
Shen Yunxi observed the environment in front of him. The vegetation was lush and there were rivers, ditches and streams. Although there was little flat land, the slopes were not steep and terraces could be developed.
Chief Tian looked around and said to the guards: "Thank you very much. This will be the former Lihua Village in the future."
"The climate in the south is humid, and there are two or three harvests a year. It's not too late to open up wasteland for planting. In four months, my young master will send someone here." Before leaving, the guard said that he hoped these people could open up wasteland. , settle down with your own hands.
Chief Tamura nodded repeatedly: "Thank you, Mr. Guard, and thank you, Mr. Imperial Envoy."
Although the guards just took them to a deserted place, Chief Tamura was very grateful.
When the guards left, there were 103 people in Lihua Village, old and young, with pitiful expressions and even a bit at a loss.
Yang Dacui was very worried, "Master, our food will not last long..."
Chief Tamura also calmed down. "Don't be afraid. There are no bandits here. There may be wild animals, but we have weapons. Don't be afraid!"
Shen Yunxi jumped off the bullock cart and ran to the stream. When he saw fish in the stream, he smiled and shouted: "There are fish in the stream. Come and catch them!"
Shen Yunxi's clear voice freed everyone from their loss, and everyone ran towards her.
"Oh, there are a lot of fish. The south is rich in products. Even if we have nothing, we are not afraid of having nothing. As long as we are diligent, we can always find food."
"Yes, I think there is a lot of fruit on the tree."
"I can weave fishing nets. The jute over there can be peeled and made into hemp ropes and fishing nets."
"I can do carpentry and build a house."
"I'm so powerful that I can reclaim wasteland."
Everyone encouraged each other and smiled slightly.
"But we don't have seeds!" Tian Tieshuan scratched his head, "But we don't have seeds?"
Everyone was shocked again.
At this time, Shen Yunxi encouraged him loudly and said: "What are you afraid of? We have more or less money on us. When we settle down, we can buy seeds. It is not far from the county seat and can be returned in two days."
Chief Tamura also quickly said: "Yes, we can buy seeds. The women are fishing and cooking in the stream. The men are looking at where we can settle."
Chief Tamura, together with thirty or forty young people, began to look for a place to settle down.
