Chapter 353: Countless wasteland reclamation
The journey back was very smooth and basically nothing happened.
In this way, it took more than forty days.
The time it took to set out to Linyang County, which took more than three months, almost a hundred days.
The two of them combined and it took them almost five months for this long trip.
When they set off, they just passed Qingming Festival and it was mid-April. By the time they came back, it was already early September.
It took about half a year to go out!
When walking on the road, especially when so many things happened, Dingxiang didn’t have time to think about it. It turned out that so long had passed.
On the way back, things were done and I felt relaxed, and I realized.
So, Dingxiang didn't care about traveling around and urged the coachman to go back as fast as possible.
She was a little worried after being away from home for so long, thinking that there were only a few children at home supporting her.
During this period, Ergua led more than a dozen young men to not only open up wastelands, but also try to plant plants on the wastelands.
The plants are mainly planted in the wasteland in the north and on the back mountain. Lilac has advised them that they are mainly used to build workshops and houses.
Of course, part of the land can also be used to grow vegetables.
On the other side of the back mountain, Ergua and the others have reclaimed fifty acres, but due to their geographical location, they are very limited.
Almost all the places with the slope of the back hill are not steep.
If you want to continue to cultivate, you need to go up the mountain to cultivate.
However, everyone knows that places with slopes cannot be successfully cultivated.
In fact, there is also a kind of terraced fields, which are very suitable for the foot of the mountain with low slopes, and are used to reclaim fertile fields.
Ergua still doesn't know about these things.
The book "The Greatest Arts of the World" he read did not mention the idea of terraces.
Speaking of which, since Ergua obtained the book "The Great Art of Fame", she felt like she had gained a treasure and became even more active in practicing calligraphy.
Every time I got home, I always pestered Sangua to teach him how to read.
What he had to force him to do in the past, not only did he not need to force him, but he was also rushing forward.
If you want to talk about the most wasteland, the wasteland in the north is boundless. This guy led a group of young people, just working hard!
Before everyone could react, they had already reclaimed 500 acres of land.
When I heard this news, I was shocked. At first I thought it would be just a random cultivation point, which would not exceed dozens of acres. Now, before I knew it, these brave men actually reclaimed 500 acres in one go.
This acre of wasteland is only one tael of silver, and Li Zheng is really worried that Dingxiang will not be able to pay the silver when it comes back.
If this is true, wouldn’t these young men work hard every day in vain?
So, one morning, he went to the wasteland in the north and was immediately shocked by the scene in front of him.
The wasteland that was originally overgrown with weeds is now neat and clean.
As long as you keep it well for a few years, it will be fertile land at that time!
"Grandpa Lizheng, why are you here?" Ergua was so excited that she suddenly saw Lizheng coming, and hurriedly took a hoe to meet him.
"Child, you see that you have cultivated so much, are you still planning to continue cultivation?" Li was looking at the stupid boy and said in a tactful manner.
However, for Ergua, there are some things he will never understand in his life if he doesn't say clearly to him.
So, after he was speaking this, he nodded honestly and said, "When my mother left, she didn't say anything, but told me to reclaim wasteland."
When Li was hearing this, he cursed Erguazi in his heart. His mother didn't know that she would be leaving for so long.
By the way, Dingxiang went out this time for a little longer?
Generally, if you go back and forth, you can go back and forth in two months.
Even if it is a little slower, it will almost be back in three months.
But this time they have been out for almost five months.
Is something happening on the way?
Thinking of this, Li Zheng began to feel uneasy.
In ancient times, there was no need to be modern security. When you go out, there were bullies in the towns, robbers on the mountains, and robbers on the water.
I have bad luck, and there are people on the streets of Hengshi.
"Grandpa Li Zheng, what are you thinking?" After Ergua saw that she had finished speaking, a worried look appeared on Grandpa Li Zheng's face.
Li Zheng shook his head and comforted himself not to think about it. Good people in Dingxiang will be rewarded. Even if they encounter danger, they will definitely be able to escape danger.
After thinking about it this way, he felt a lot more uncomfortable, and then he looked at the ignorant boy again.
"Child, although your mother said this when she was leaving, she might have miscalculated the time she took to go out. She didn't know what was delayed on the road and couldn't come back for a while."
Just as he was thinking about how to be more gentle, but he could make Ergua, the fool, understand his meaning, Ergua suddenly spoke and interrupted him.
