Chapter 9 Fields

This is really a difficult path, a small mountain stream with piles of rocks. It seems that it is really safe to live in it. Although there are no cliffs on this path, if you walk a little faster, you will fall. Although this fall cannot die, you will also fall into a blue nose, face and bones, and will hurt your tendons and bones! When a horse walks by, it will be slower than a person. If you accidentally break your horse's legs.

Fortunately, Yang Heng's cart was sturdy, with a thousand kilograms of things. The family of three was slowly dragging the cart in like carrying it. "Huh, Huh, it made me exhausted." This family had been walking on a mountain road for more than two hours. Moreover, they had eaten a midnight snack in the morning, and now they had no food and didn't even drink saliva. They were sweating heavily on this mountain road.

"Grandma, this is the hometown you are talking about. This road is too difficult to walk, but this place is really a paradise." Yang Heng was complaining, but when he looked up, he changed his words. It was so beautiful, with green mountains, clear water, and the harvested crop fields, and dozens of thatched huts were far away.

"What a paradise? It's just a poor valley. The people living there can't even afford to eat enough. The annual income is not enough to pay taxes. I don't know if we can survive?" Dad complained, what is his vision.

Ah, by the way, Yang Heng looked at this place from the perspective of later generations. Although the places like this in later generations were also poor in mountain valleys and could build roads, and the mountain road was not long, this era was different. What should I use to build roads? The big and small rocks almost made the wooden cart fall apart.

"Hehe, Grandpa, where is the woods?" Yang Heng smiled awkwardly, "To the east, we walked along this path." The father said angrily, "Talk to the child well, I think this place is good." I was unhappy.

"You three have just arrived here. Look, I have returned your land deeds. My uncle has given you some effort. In order to ask others to do things quickly, my uncle has paid a lot of money." Suddenly, the voice of my father and uncle came from behind. It turned out that in order not to let my father go to Ah Weng, he borrowed a donkey and ran to the county government office after he separated from Yang Heng and others. He asked someone to apply for the new land deeds, and even paid for it himself to speed up the processing. Oh, by the way, there was no explanation. My father, the uncle, is here. Although he is not a good person, he still has some face in the county. People in the county don't even need to come and measure it, so they directly processed the land deeds.

Perhaps he thought that this was driving Yang Heng and his three children to death. In other words, if the land could not be reclaimed within a certain period of time, his father might be sentenced to illegally committing his nephew, but he had to say that he had worked hard on his nephew, that is, his father's half-brother, but what he didn't know was that Yang Heng had prepared these long ago, wasn't it just a hundred acres of land? With his family of three, he could be reclaimed in a year. This is all because of the powerful tools.

"Let's go, I'll talk to you about the boundaries of this field." The old man said lightly. Since the matter has been done, it's too late to regret it now, and there is no need to face the three people with a smile.

After entering the mountains, although it is still a small path, there are not so many stones on the trail here. We walked east along the south bank of a small stream, that is, the direction of the stream, and then went north to a flatter place.

"Dalang, look, this stream is the southernmost end of your land. It goes north to the foot of the mountain and is the northernmost end. From the east to the middle third of the river, of course, this river is not the ground, and the ground must follow this line. It is about one thousand meters long north and south. You can measure 750 meters of the east and west, and measure it from this third of the river. This is very clear in the document." (This is not calculated from the size of the Tang Dynasty. It is too troublesome. It is better to use the current unit rice to talk about it. In the future, the same will be made in advance.) The old man said lightly, "Okay, thank you uncle." The father said gratefully, "No need to thank me, I will open it first. If you can't cultivate it, then the government will ask you for your sins, but I will not protect you." The old man said very seriously.

"Okay, your family will do it. I'll go find you Aye, do you want to come together?" But what he meant was that you'd better not come. My dad naturally wouldn't go to find a shameless person. Now that I've got home, I'll just look for it. "No, no, we have to settle it. Thank you, uncle, please go slowly." "Okay, go back, I'll leave." The old man turned around and left, but at this time his face was full of disappointment. He hadn't been home for more than ten years, and he couldn't even go back home, but it was hard to go against his uncle.

It's really a difficult thing to do. It's all about poverty. If it weren't for the troubled times, with Ahon's ability, he wouldn't have found the current grandma. This is also the reason why my father was squeezed out. According to my father, if he had more of him at home, it would be really difficult to live. There were too few fields and many wild animals. Along the way, I found some wolf roars and even the screams of wild boars. As a group of outsiders, it would be good to have such a valley to settle down in such a valley, but poor and weak. Otherwise, this place would have gained a lot after just hunting.

It was the time for Yang Heng's family to come back. This was the early Tang Dynasty. Although the Tang Dynasty had been established for several years, the country was not very stable at this time. The household registration of Yang Heng's family had not been officially registered before, so that they could travel and change the identity of a merchant to the identity of a farmer. The fields did not need to be purchased temporarily. There was also barren mountains and wilderness, and no one needed them. If this was a mountain in the past, it would be amazing. There was a famous Taoist resort on it. Not to mention the land reclamation, it would be impossible to live in it in the past.

Yang Heng walked all the way and found that after a few years, it may be impossible to live in this place. It is not far from Chang'an City. Although the mountain road is difficult, if you really have a good rest, this place will be a good place.

"Grandma, I think the fields here are good, they can be watered directly with river water. How could you say it is not good?" Yang Heng was still very curious. Yang Heng was talking about the south bank of the stream they came over. There were a lot of fields along the way. As long as you block the stream, the water could flow directly into the fields. "You just saw the surface, but you didn't see what those fields looked like. They were all sandy land, and the crops were growing very poorly. From time to time, wild boars would come down to harm them. If there was no water to water, it would be even more difficult. At that time, our ancestors came here, and only after they could see that the fields here could be watered. Only when they really stayed, would they know these things." The father said helplessly.

"Okay, don't talk about it, it's going to be dark soon. Let's see how to live there. There is nothing here and how we live." My mother began to feel embarrassed as she looked at the scene beside her.
