Chapter 104 We want to open up wasteland!

"What did you say? We are all from the same village. If we don't work together, how can we impress the Imperial Envoy?"

Tao Xi smiled and waved, "I'm sure we will be able to successfully settle down this time.

All the hard work will be worth it then, don’t you think?"

She turned to look at the exhausted villagers lying on the ground. Chen Orion was the first to respond.

"That's right, as long as you can survive, it's all worth it!"

"I can persist!"

Wang Zhou's voice was not loud. He came at a trot all the way, although he was almost bloated from hunger at first.

But after his parents are gone, he has less burden and can support himself alone. He is very energetic now.

Hu Zi's father also said cheerfully: "Let's just exercise."

"Everyone wait for the good news!"

Everyone was smiling broadly. Everyone was looking at the city gate expectantly, which made the soldiers protecting Gu Yan feel bitter.

I hope the master can bring back good news.

About three-quarters of an hour later, Gu Yan came out of the city on horseback. His face was sullen, making everyone feel very uneasy.

Only Tao Xi, who knew some of the plots in the original book, naturally knew that they would get what they wanted this time.

She just didn't know some small details, and she didn't know how Gu Yan asked the county magistrate and King Jing for instructions.

Jian Shiming, who was next to him, couldn't help but say, "You seem to be sure that we can settle down this time."

"Well, because I believe in Mr. Gu!"

Tao Xi smiled and rolled his eyes. This smile inexplicably made Jian Shiming feel uncomfortable.

Believe Master Gu? They have only known each other for less than a day, and she trusts him so much?

As if seeing Jian Shiming's confusion, Tao Xi gave a lame reason.

"If Mr. Gu doesn't want to help us, he won't let their horses come to help us pull people."

"Everything my sister-in-law said is right."

Brainless Jian Erni made another wave of rainbow farts, leaving Jian Shiming speechless.

But he had no chance to worry about anything else, because Gu Yan came to them quickly.

He didn't get off the horse and sighed: "Sorry, Yun County is already full of refugees now.

In addition, the Earth Dragon turned over previously and suffered heavy losses. King Jing is also powerless, so he cannot connect you to the city."

"What? What should we do?"

"I don't want to leave anymore. My father and mother are gone along the way. Who knows if I will die if I go on."

"Master Gu, aren't you an imperial envoy? Can't you help us?"

"Oh oh oh, I don't want to live anymore."

"..."

Perhaps because they were too exhausted, everyone's emotions were a little out of control, leaving Gu Yan at a loss.

Jian Shiming immediately took the gong in Li Zheng's hand and knocked it hard, speaking firmly.

"You guys should listen to what Mr. Gu has to say first."

"Everyone, be quiet. Yun County cannot take you in, but I would like to advise King Jing to let you settle down in Yun County.

But you have to build the houses yourself, and you have to clear up wasteland to grow food, and you have to rely on yourself to do these things."

Gu Yan felt very guilty. He saw that it was difficult for these people to survive, but this was the only thing he could get for everyone.

After all, it is difficult to honor the king nowadays. The successive disasters have made it difficult to survive, and life has become a luxury for the common people.

Jian Shiming was very optimistic. He looked at the stunned people and said, "I believe Mr. Gu has tried his best.

The world is as big as the king's land. If we can have a place to stay, we can survive.

Didn’t we just grow our own food to feed ourselves in the past? Wouldn’t it be possible to change the place?”

"Brother Ming is right, we can survive by relying on our own efforts!"

Li Zheng echoed Jian Shiming's words and continued to say loudly: "The drought in Yun County has ended. There is grass and food in the mountains. Let's rely on the mountains for the time being.

Let’s build a house quickly before winter arrives. As long as we have a stable place to live, we won’t be afraid of not being able to survive.”

"Yes, we will definitely survive."

"Our ancestors have been here like this for generations, so I don't believe we can't do it."

"We want to open up wasteland!"

"Open up wasteland and open up wasteland!"

"..."

Everyone shouted excitedly, which made Gu Yan, who was feeling guilty, feel a surge in his heart. He couldn't help but look at Jian Shiming with admiration.

This person is a talent!

Since everyone agreed so, Gu Yan asked the magistrate of Yun County to register the names of everyone in Taomu Village.

Then he led the people to a certain wasteland at the bottom of Yun County, which was at the foot of a mountain far away from the former village.

Because there are wild animals in the mountains all year round, there are very few people who have settled here. Gu Yan explained:

"You are all old, weak, sick and disabled, so be careful and don't go into the mountains."

Even after experiencing drought and the number of earthworms has decreased somewhat, it is not safe.

"Don't worry, sir, we are sensible."

Jian Shiming smiled and agreed, and Gu Yan led people to measure the land and divide the land according to their existing villagers.

All the land in the Dafeng Dynasty belonged to the imperial court, which was why Jian Shiming and the others did not stop halfway to open up wasteland on the spot.

If the land is not registered, the things grown belong to the court.

"Okay, I can only help so much, the rest is up to you!"

Gu Yan was very busy. He fulfilled his promise and left with his people, leaving the villagers of Taomu Village looking at the measured land with hopeful faces.

"Li Zheng, we can survive!"

"Father, mother, have you seen it? How good my son is now."

"Madam, my child and I will be fine."

"..."

Li Zheng, Jian Shiming and their family stood together, watching everyone vent their emotions.

Jian Erni looked at the vast land with longing, "Sister-in-law, we will definitely have a good time, right?"

"uncertain."

Jian Shiwu poured cold water on it and glanced at the less fertile land under his feet.

Perhaps it is because we have just experienced a drought. Although the land here has improved, it is still in a barren range.

The fertile land is probably deep in the mountains, but that is a place that no one dares to set foot in.

Tao Xi couldn't help but knock on Jian Shiwu's forehead, "Why are you so pessimistic, you little brat?

Look at how barren the land is, is it better than the one in Beicheng? There is still water over there.

As long as we save some money and plan well, we will be able to live a good life."

No matter what happens, she can secretly grow seedlings in space and then transplant them out, and her life will definitely be happy.

"Your sister-in-law is right. As long as we work hard, we will definitely have a good life."

Jian Erni smiled and suddenly said: "Now you can think about what our house will look like?

Now that Lao Jian's family is gone, we no longer have to crowd into one room as a family, right?"

What she hated most in the past was that there were so many people sleeping in the same bed. She didn't dare to move around at night for fear of kicking her parents.

As she spoke, the tip of her nose became sore, "It would be great if my parents were still here."

"When times get better, we will move our parents' graves here."

Jian Shiming's words speak to everyone's heart. Wherever their parents are, they feel that is home.

Don't worry, don't worry, the lunch boxes are distributed one by one, and theirs are indispensable.
