Chapter 61: Divide the land, what to plant

When the Lu family arrived at the grain drying field, most of the prisoners were there. They were talking quietly, discussing how to spend the next days.

Lu Anran even saw Dr. Lin who was following them all the way. He was with an old man at the moment and didn't know what to say.

She didn't listen either and stood lazily beside Ms. Liu.

Mrs. Liu held Lu Qi in her arms, with the family's food in her heart. When she saw Lu Anran, she seemed to have a backbone, and she quickly whispered: "Doudou, what should we do with so many things in our house? That door is not strong."

"It's okay, I reinforced it." After a moment of silence, he added, "Dude and the others are all here, and the people here can't afford to make any trouble." What's more, she still has room.

Hearing what she said, Ms. Liu finally felt relieved.

She looked up at the teaching platform in front of her, and Chu Yiheng happened to arrive with two lieutenants. He was wearing military armor and a cloak, and he had a bit of a chilling atmosphere on the battlefield.

"Listen up, you all. Since you didn't arrive in time, the autumn harvest here didn't help, so each person can only receive one bushel (12 kilograms) of corn this year."

"A bucket? Are you kidding? This is not enough for an adult!"

"Hey, there are more than a dozen people in my family, how can one bucket be enough?"

"That's right, there are still three months until spring begins. How can one bucket be enough? It's not even enough to boil water and rice porridge."

"Quiet!!!" The prisoners below were really noisy. Lin Chong immediately shouted, and everyone immediately fell silent.

Chu Yiheng glanced around and then continued: "If there is any dissatisfaction, then there is no need to take it. You can go hunting by yourself, but there will be no soldiers following you. Of course, you will be responsible for your life and death."

As soon as these words came out, everyone's heart suddenly trembled, it was so cruel.

Collecting the changing expressions of most people in his eyes, Chu Yiheng continued: "In addition, the land will be divided later."

Divide the land?!

Everyone's eyes lit up. They were all farmers. To them, land was their lifeblood. You can imagine how important it was. So when they heard that the land was going to be divided, everyone became excited.

"According to national law, each Class A prisoner can plant 50 acres per year, Class B 30 acres, and Class C 10 acres. You are not extremely evil people, so you belong to Class C.

Children under 5 years old do not need to plant, children under 10 years old are allowed to plant 5 acres, and children above 10 years old are 10 acres. As long as you are not lazy, you can finish planting."

Hearing this, Lu Anran did some calculations in his mind, and suddenly felt bad. The Lu family had to farm 225 acres a year! Although it was half less than the 20 acres predicted before, it was still equivalent to two northern acres.

Olympic Stadium!!!

It’s so uncomfortable. Can she take out the diesel hoe in the space?

No, it’s not two hundred and twenty-five, it’s two hundred and fifty-five!!!

Damn it!

A national curse flashed through her mind, and she almost forgot about Hou Tianyi, Wu Yunfei and the others!

Sure enough, beauty is a curse, the word "sex" has a knife on its head, and it actually fell here!

"The grain here is harvested twice a year, so every June and December, you need to hand over 90% of the acres of grain, and the rest is yours to use. It's up to you to do what you want with it.

After the meeting, each family will send a party. Deputy General Wei will take you to measure the land. After the measurement is completed, a land license will be issued to you. Remember to keep it so that you can plant the land in the coming spring.

The others will go back and tidy up their residences by themselves. You have seen what those houses look like. Don’t find them ugly. They were all built by soldiers who took their time. The general guarantees that they will never collapse under natural disasters such as heavy rain and snow.

.

As for the details and repairs, that's not the business of the soldiers. It's your own home, you can do whatever you want with it, and no one will stop you if it breaks down.

Okay, let’s all disperse. It’s midnight tomorrow. No one is allowed to be late except children under ten years old. Did you hear me?”

"I heard!!!"

Everyone answered loudly. When Chu Yiheng saw this, he nodded slightly in his heart, picked up his cloak and turned to leave.

Wei Xin strode forward, "One or two principals from each family will come with me to measure the land."

Hearing this, every household began to call for help. On the Lu family side, Mr. Lu shook his cigarette rod and said, "Boss, come with me."

Lu Changqing nodded: "Okay."

Lu Xueqing and the others were silent. As the eldest son, Lu Changqing would be in charge of the family in the future, so it was natural for him to follow the old man.

"Doudou will follow."

"Huh?" Lu Anran was stunned, why would he call her? No one would have her turn for such a thing, right?

The old man looked at the men at home and asked, "Do you have any objections?"

"No." Everyone said in unison, and looking at the faces, they all had the same expression as they should be.

"Okay," the old man waved his cigarette rod, "Let's go."

Is it possible that Lu Anran was put in a position just like this?

Rather than measuring the land, she wanted to clean up her little nest. Although she would have to go to Licheng sooner or later, she would definitely not be able to go there in a short time.

There's no telling how long it will take, it could be months or years, so she can't wrong herself and her family, so she has to be considerate.

But the old man asked her to go with him. It is possible that he was training her as his successor. This is fine. Having the right to speak will make things much easier.

After seeing everyone gathered, Wei Xin took the measuring tools and the name book and took them to the foot of the mountain two miles away.

The foot of this mountain is very wide, the terrain is flat, the soil is fertile, and the Ling River flows three miles away. It is a good place for planting.

Mr. Lu stretched out his hand and pulled out a handful of withered grass. He pulled up the grass roots and even the mud and rocks. The old man looked at the grass carefully and suddenly said with emotion: "The soil is dry and moist. Yes, this kind of soil is very suitable for planting.

"

"Dad, just now General Wei asked us to choose a location, and he measured it one by one." Lu Changqing came over at this time, with a look of excitement on his face: "How about we choose a place near the river?"

"No, choose the middle." Mr. Lu directly rejected it. Seeing his eldest son's stunned expression, he sighed slightly. He turned to look at Lu Anran and said lovingly: "Doudou, tell me why."

Lu Anran glanced at the injured uncle, and couldn't help but twitching at the corner of his mouth, and then added: "Too close to the foot of the mountain, wild beasts will trample the crops when they come down, and close to the river, the water may rise and drown the crops.

Moreover, everyone has to irrigate their own land, so they will walk on our land. As time goes by, the crops will not be affected, but the land will be difficult to say."

"That's the truth." Mr. Lu nodded with a smile, and then glanced at his eldest son with an ironclad look: "Why don't you ask General Wei to measure it."

Lu Changqing was embarrassed for a while, but he didn't dare to say anything, so he nodded quickly: "Okay, I'll go right away."

"Doudou, tell me, what should we plant?"

"Potato."

"What?" Mr. Lu was stunned. He had never heard of potatoes.

Seeing his confused look, Lu Anran smiled: "Grandpa, if you don't do this first, you can plant whatever you want. Leave my five acres of land for me. I will try to plant some new things and see how it goes.

.

If they look good, we can plant more; if not, we can dig them up, so we won’t lose anything, what do you think?”

After listening to her explanation, Mr. Lu thought carefully about it for a while, and finally nodded: "Okay, grandpa will keep your five acres first, and I will take care of the rest."

"Thank you grandpa, you are so kind."

"Hahahaha, good granddaughter~"

The old man smiled and narrowed his eyes at her praise. He couldn't help but reached out and touched her little head, with a kind face on his face: "Didn't you like to eat courgettes before? Grandpa will grow more for you."

cucumber?

Lu Anran was slightly startled, what was that? A cucumber?

"Old man, are you sure?"

At this time, Lu Changqing brought Wei Xin. As soon as Wei Xin saw his grandfather and grandson, he spoke, which was a bit unpleasant.

Mr. Lu nodded: "Sure, just this one. Should it be calculated based on the head count in the household registration or..."

"Household registration." Wei Xin looked at him in surprise for a while. He didn't blame him for this, mainly because his family was the first to confirm it, and other families were still looking around.

According to the household registration, those people who were with the Lu family were not included. Mr. Lu breathed a sigh of relief. Those people were all wealthy owners, and they didn't look like people who knew how to work in the fields.

After measuring, finishing the line with white ash, and inserting the boundary monument, Wei Xin also carved the land sign. The land sign had Chu Yiheng's big seal on it, so it couldn't be fake.

He handed it to Mr. Lu and told him, "Take it carefully and don't lose it. This land will belong to your family from now on, so you must cultivate it well."

After getting the land license, the old man immediately laughed and said, "Thank you, sir, thank you."

"You're welcome, go back quickly and tidy up the house."

"Hey, okay." He responded, turned around, led Lu Anran and walked home. The old man was in a good mood and hummed a nice tune.

Lu Changqing followed behind, smiling a little helplessly. He looked back at the busy people, and suddenly felt that exile was not as bad as he imagined.

"Mom, we're back." After returning home, Lu Anran shouted, and without waiting for anyone to respond, he rushed towards his small bedroom like a gust of wind.

Looking at the floor leather on the bed, she rolled up her sleeves and said, "Okay, let's get started!"
