Zhao Sheng was panting like an ox. This weak scholar came all the way and was so exhausted that he panted for a long time.
After he finished breathing, he finally felt relieved: "Huh... Madam Saint, I came to you because I have something to report to the Heavenly Lord."
Gao Yiye: "Oh? Tell me, Tianzun is above your head, listening."
Zhao Sheng raised his head, glanced at the low clouds in the sky, and hurriedly went down.
It had been several days since he had been in Gaojiacun, and he had figured it out. In the sky, he could see a low cloud about six to seventy feet high, which meant that Tianzun was there. If there was no short cloud, it meant that Tianzun was not there.
Zhao Sheng said to Xiaoyun: "Tianzun, I have been wandering on the hillside outside the Refugee Valley for a few days, and I have been thinking about the future of my three thousand fellow villagers. Although Tianzun has provided them with various jobs to do, , but there are now 4,000 people in the village, and the daily food requirements are a very huge number."
"These grains are now given to us by Tianzun." Zhao Sheng made another big gift: "We are very grateful to Tianzun for his kindness, but I am also thinking that one day, Tianzun is busy with other things and has no time to take care of us. Gaojia Village, what will these more than 4,000 people eat? The current farmland in Gaojia Village alone, even if the farmland in several surrounding villages such as Zhengjia Village and Wangjia Village is added, is far from enough.
Li Daoxuan gave him a thumbs up in his heart: Very good! The things I'm thinking about make sense, or in other words, are very long-term.
Zhao Sheng: "Please Tianzun allow us to reclaim wasteland and open up new farmland. There must be farmland that can feed more than 4,000 people. This is a necessary preparation for everyone's future. If there is too much farmland, Tianzun can also reduce it, or no longer need it. By sending us immortal food, Tianzun can also save some energy."
Li Daoxuan was about to say: That’s right!
I heard Gao Yiye say curiously: "Mr. Zhao, I guess Tianzun will definitely agree to your reclamation, but... Our land in Chengcheng County... is not very suitable for reclamation and farming."
Zhao Sheng showed an embarrassed expression: "Yes, the land around the Refugee Valley is indeed a bit barren. It's okay to grow some wild flowers and weeds. Planting crops seems a bit...but...all of my folks are very hardworking. As long as There is land, no matter it is barren or not, everyone will always find ways to find crops suitable for it to grow.
Li Daoxuan had actually checked the information of Chengcheng County a long time ago. Chengcheng County is part of the Weibei Loess Plateau, and the landform is dominated by the Loess Plateau.
In the Loess Plains, growing crops is really life-threatening.
It is not easy to find a few fields suitable for growing crops in Chengcheng County. The places suitable for farming have long been developed by predecessors. For example, the wheat fields in Gaojia Village are the best land in the area. I want to find another land that is more suitable for farming. Is it easy to negotiate?
but!
Li Daoxuan has found that Chengcheng County in later generations had an important pillar crop, that is: Baobu: In modern times, the planting area of corn in Chengcheng County reached 310,000 acres. No matter how barren your loess land is, I will plant a corn for you without saying a word. As long as I can ensure good fertilizers, I will help it grow.
Li Daoxuan cannot provide modern corn seeds to the villain in the box, because the "living creature" will be killed by mysterious power the moment it enters and exits the box. Plant seeds are "living things" and cannot be put in.
but.
At the end of the Ming Dynasty, corn had been introduced to the Celestial Dynasty. As long as you were willing to look for it, you would definitely find it.
Since Zhao Sheng had the intention to cultivate wasteland in the loess plains, Li Daoxuan felt that it was a good time to promote corn. "Yiye, is Xing Honglang about to leave the village and go to Xi'an again?"
"Yes!" Gao Yiye raised his head and said, "Sister Xing is leaving tomorrow."
"Very good. Tell Zhao Sheng first that they are allowed to reclaim wasteland and develop a large amount of land around the Refugee Valley into farmland. Then you go to Xing Honglang and ask him to look for crops like 'corn' next time he goes to Xi'an. , if you can buy it, buy it in large quantities, and act quickly, because it won’t be long before you can’t buy it anymore.”
Gao Yiye nodded and agreed: "Mr. Zhao, God has given us permission. Please try your best to cultivate the wasteland around the Refugee Valley."
Zhao Sheng was overjoyed and ran out with a cheer: "I'll inform the folks."
"Run slower." Gao Yiye shouted loudly: "Don't run out of breath again."
Zhao Sheng: "I can do it, I can do it! I am very strong... Huh... very strong... Huh... Oh... Such good news must be done as soon as possible... Huh..."
After running only two hundred meters, he put his hands on his knees and gasped: "Oh my God, I can't do it anymore. I have to... take it slow... take it slow... although it's good news... It’s better to slow down...slowly notify..."
Gao Yiye burst out laughing: "Hahaha!
Li Daoxuan couldn't help but smile: With this guy's physical fitness, he actually ran out to rebel. Who would believe it?
In the evening of that day, after the villagers in Qingjian County returned home from their part-time work, they received the great news that God had given them permission to cultivate wasteland.
Although the Refugee Valley is surrounded by barren loess plains, the villagers are still excited. They are now "refugees" who do not deserve to own land. They did not expect to get Tianzun's permission to reclaim wasteland.
This is simply a huge reward!
Some diligent villagers immediately picked up their hoes and went out of the valley. Although they were tired from working for a day, they became motivated again when they heard about reclamation. If they cleared a piece of land early, wouldn't that piece of land become their own? ?
With this idea, of course it is better to act sooner rather than later, and to strike first.
However, there are also some villagers who are good at calculating accounts, especially those with craftsman skills. They calculated the accounts with their fingers: "If I spend all my time working, based on the work I am doing now, the wages paid to me by the third supervisor will be A month is worth almost three taels of silver. A year is worth thirty-six taels of silver."
"But if I spend my time farming, I can only harvest one or two taels of grain a year on this barren loess plain. Even if the price of grain is relatively high in famine years, I can only earn a few taels of silver.
"Working to make money is obviously more cost-effective than farming. I have the skills, so there is no need to open up wasteland and farm. Let people who like farming do it. I will work for the rest of my life.
Therefore, those with craftsman skills and those with agricultural skills adopted different attitudes towards this matter.
From a starting point, everyone goes in different directions, like separate branches, extending different life trajectories.
Early the next morning, Xing Honglang took the small caravan and set off for Xi'an again.
This time she no longer sells salt. She has a serious and responsible inspector named Fang Wushang, which makes it more difficult for her to smuggle salt. She might as well sell something serious. Wouldn't it be better to sell fairy candy? I make more money than selling salt.
Gao Yiye sent Xing Honglang to the entrance of the village: "You must buy as much corn as possible. In addition, just bring back all the rare things that are not available in Gao's village. Now that the village is very wealthy, the rare things must be easy to sell. The most important thing is It’s craftsmen, teachers, and all kinds of talented people. If you can, just turn here and consider the cost. This is Tianzun’s exact words.”
Xing Honglang laughed loudly: "Don't worry, leave this matter to me."
