Chapter 156: Passerby A died before the escape began 12
"Brother Jiang, this is what I think. Each family can have a maximum of 50 mu of land. For example, if there are five people in your family, each of them can give 5 mu, which is 25 mu of land. If you rent it, you can rent a maximum of 25 mu. In addition, there are limits on the amount of land each family can give. It is impossible for a family of 15 to give. We will also look for families with more strong laborers, and the amount of land given by the elderly and children will be reduced as appropriate."
Bai Ze explained to Jiang's father Chen that there was actually no need to worry about this, as the puppets would have already processed the land if they wanted to reclaim it, and now the wasteland was basically the same as land that had not been cultivated for many years, and Jiang Yue's plan was to use the puppets to reclaim the wasteland first, and then recruit normal people over, by which time the reclamation would have been completed, and he would directly recruit tenants.
After the discussion, Bai Ze went into the city to find the puppet Li Si. Bai Ze had discussed with Jiang Yue that this wave of twenty-one puppets would come, and a family of three would be exactly seven families. The other puppets would develop in the capital, so they would have an excuse to do anything in the future. And they had to find some normal people to come, otherwise this would become Truman's world, living in a fake world.
In times of war, puppets have to protect the safety of the family. After the Ninth Prince ascends the throne, Jiang Yue will slowly remove the puppets and replace them with normal people. Besides, it is not so easy to find people now. There are wars everywhere and normal people won't come to open up wasteland. If it is easy to open up wasteland, it would be better to rent it to them for farming.
The next afternoon, Bai Ze came back with the puppet. The first thing he did was not to reclaim land but to build a house. After all, puppets also need housing. After today, the vigorous construction began. The speed of reclaiming land was much faster than Jiang's father expected. In a month, nearly 200 acres of land had been reclaimed. If it were not for the cultivation while reclaiming, the speed might be even faster.
In fact, one puppet can complete the reclamation of the wasteland in one day, but for reasonable considerations, the reclamation speed is not slowed down but slowed down. Even Jiang's father feels that it is unreasonable.
As the peach blossoms bloomed, more and more people came here for picnics and flower viewing. Then the news that the lake had water again spread. When the fat seller came and saw the lake, he burst into tears. He was so regretful.
Father Jiang and Bai Ze have been very busy these days. First, some people came to inquire about being tenant farmers, and second, they were busy with the lake. The first thing was easy, just choose a good person and sign a contract directly. There were discounts if you rented the wasteland and started your own business. Because the puppet had processed it before, it was rented out quite quickly. The second thing was to buy fish fry and get aquatic plants. This was not an easy thing to do, as there was no one in the capital who could raise fish fry.
In the end, Bai Ze had no choice but to ask his puppets to go to places with water and lakes and steal a lot of silt and water plants. Of course, there were also some fish fry in them. After they were done, they poured them into the lake. The rest could only be purchased after the weather was better and they could go into the water to catch fish. At that time, they would put some fish in and throw in a few pills, and the ecosystem would be completed in a few years.
Mother Chen was busy cleaning up the house. There were many things missing after moving here. Both parents were busy taking care of the children, so the responsibility of looking after the children fell on Jiang Yue. So she took the twins around the village every day. It can be said that apart from the puppets, Jiang Yue and the two little ones were the most familiar with this place. Although Father Jiang was busy every day and was not at home, Jiang Yue was the one who made the most careful observations.
In the afternoon, Jiang Yue took the twins to play at the foot of the mountain. In fact, they were studying how to transform the two barren mountains. The tops of the two mountains were a bit concave, and this natural advantage was just right for building a reservoir. In case of drought, there would be water. As for floods and waterlogging disasters, Jiang Yue was not afraid, because there were puppets watching them at all times. As for how to develop the mountains, Jiang Yue already had an idea. First of all, the land below the halfway point of the two mountains would definitely be used for farming, and above the halfway point, one mountain would be planted with fruit trees and the other mountain would be planted with medicinal herbs. With the puppets, there was no need to worry about not being able to grow crops.
After planning and subsequent development, Jiang Yue stretched his body. It was great to have a puppet as it saved him a lot of energy. He looked at the time and it was time to eat. He called back the twins who were almost going crazy, patted the dirt off their bodies, and walked home holding one in each hand. The two little guys were jumping around so much that Jiang Yue would not have been able to catch them if he was not so strong. On the way, they also met some people picking up stones and said hello to them. Stones are also good things now and can be used to build houses.
After returning home, he washed the dirt off his hands. His mother was nagging at the three children, asking them to be clean, especially Jiang Yue, who was eleven years old. When it was dark and Jiang's father returned home, smoke from other houses was rising. Now no one had lunch. Most people had one meal in the morning and one meal in the evening. People in difficulties had only one meal a day.
Today, Chen stewed a chicken. Father Jiang had lost some weight due to his busy schedule over the past two months, so Chen specially killed a chicken to nourish him. After eating for a while, Chen said to Father Jiang, "There is a secret room in this yard. Should we buy some food and store it?"
Father Jiang was busy eating and nodded in agreement. Chen said, "Go find Brother Bai and think of a solution together. Do it quietly and don't make a big fuss. Otherwise, if everyone knows about it, it's better not to buy it. It will become a disaster."
Seeing that Father Jiang understood what she meant, Chen started talking about other things. Xuanxuan was licking his fingers after finishing a chicken leg. After eating vegetables for a few days, he started to like meat again. Chen wiped his hands and put some radish and cabbage in the bowl. The radish and cabbage were purchased, as they had been eating wild vegetables in the past few days.
After dinner, Jiang Yue accompanied Chen to wash the dishes and clean up. After cleaning up the house, they chatted in the evening. Jiang's father planned to take a day off tomorrow. He was indeed a little tired recently. He wanted to take a day off and study the road construction. Now the road is all dirt road, and it is impossible to go when it rains. Some time ago, Jiang Yue asked Bai Ze to talk to Jiang's father and it would be better to build a gravel road, which would be convenient for travel in the future.
Of course, if we have to repair it, we can't do it now. Now everyone is busy reclaiming wasteland and farming and has no time. Bai Ze has already made a plan and now he just needs to slowly guide Jiang's father.
The next morning, Jiang Yue got up early, washed up, and changed into men's clothes. Recently, she wore men's clothes when she went to Taolin to play, which was more convenient. When Chen saw her like this during dinner, she knew that she was going out to play again. At first, she wanted to let Jiang Yue run around, fearing that she would suffer, but Jiang's father said it was okay and she agreed. Seeing that Chen looked at her unhappily, Jiang Yue was not angry, and even made a face at Chen, which almost made her angry to death.
Jiang Yue was not playing around randomly. She heard from people who had come to visit in previous years that the peaches in the peach forest were inedible. The bloodline seeds that Jiang Yue had fused had the ability to promote plant growth. If she went there more often, maybe she would be able to eat fresh peaches this year.
