Is this true?

Is this true?

Although the village chief is old and has some inconvenience in his legs and feet, he is very efficient in doing things.

One of the two people drove wooden stakes to the side, and the other tied the rope.

The rope is just an ordinary hemp rope, but there are knots every one foot apart. After the rope is encircled, just count the number of knots on each side. If it is less than one foot, use a ruler to measure it.

The ruler was a bamboo board with scales on it. When Su Mo helped hold it, he looked at it and found that the scales were not very accurate compared to the scales in her world.

This ruler is exactly one foot long, and in the Yong Dynasty: one foot is equal to thirty centimeters, but in actual view, this ruler is actually forty centimeters long.

Su Mo didn't pay much attention to it. After all, it was a world derived from novels. Everything could not be studied using the thinking of her world, otherwise it would only cause more trouble for herself.

The wasteland was quickly measured. The village chief took out a piece of paper and a piece of charcoal from his arms. The charcoal was cut into a long and thin piece and stuck in a bamboo tube, with a small part exposed.

Su Mo was a little surprised. After recalling it, this thing was called charcoal pencil. I don't know who came up with it. It became popular because it was cheap and convenient.

But not long after, all the major aristocratic families stood up and verbally punished the students who used this thing. Generally speaking, charcoal pens were not allowed to be used on the table...

All major aristocratic families boycotted, and the status of charcoal pens plummeted. Some scholars were even seen using charcoal pens in the academy and were ostracized by their classmates.

Since then, charcoal pencils have only been circulated among the common people.

"Thirty-three feet and six centimeters long, twenty-two feet wide, almost an entire section of land."

As the head of a village, he must be able to read and count.

The village chief put the charcoal and paper back into his arms. When the time came to go to the Yamen, he had to leave the paper with the Yamen.

The morning light shines through the shade of the trees, and the stars fall on the ground in variegated patterns.

Su Mo helped put away the rope and stood up. He saw a hint of pain on the village chief's face. He was holding the crutch tightly in his hand and slowly moved his aching ankle.

After noticing that Su Mo was getting up, he immediately straightened out the emotions on his face, as if it was just Su Mo's illusion.

"Let's go!"

The village chief said calmly and turned around with his cane. He walked very slowly, his body rising and falling.

Su Mo followed behind, his eyes a little complicated.

This piece of land is at the foot of the mountain. A short walk to the north will lead to the road to the neighboring village. Su Mo chose this place because walking about five meters to the south, there is a small spring flowing down from the mountain.

stream.

The two walked on the path and soon reached the main road. To everyone's surprise, Chen Yuanhai led the ox cart and stopped on the roadside.

"No one went to the county today, so I told them and drove the ox cart to Gu's house.

But I heard from Ping An that you guys came here before you went back..."

Chen Yuanhai greeted him with a naive smile and held the village chief's wrist very skillfully.

"Second uncle, I will help you."

The village chief's legs couldn't stand for a long time, nor could he walk much. If he hadn't known the specific location of the wasteland, he would have gone straight to it.

The village chief was helped onto the bullock cart, and the pain in his ankle subsided a little, and he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

Chen Yuanhai shouted to Su Mo to get on the bullock cart again.

"The sun is shining, Sister-in-law of the Gu family, come up quickly."

The main road is slightly wide and can accommodate three oxcarts running parallelly, so there is no shade in the middle.

The summer sun doesn't matter whether it's morning, noon or night. The sun shines slantingly and there's no wind blowing, and sweat breaks out on my forehead in a short while.

Su Mo didn't show any pretense and got on the bullock cart neatly.

The oxcart drove slowly, and a gentle breeze blew by, blowing away some of the heat.

The village chief seemed a little uncomfortable, rubbing his ankles with his hands. Su Mo pursed his lips and looked at Chen Yuanhai's back.

"Third brother of the Chen family, if you want to go to Yizhou Mansion, how should you go?"

"There is a carriage going to Yizhou Prefecture in the county."

Chen Yuanhai held the reins tightly. Hearing Su Mo call him, he subconsciously answered, then realized and frowned.

"Sister-in-law of the Gu family is going to Yizhou Mansion?"

The village chief also frowned and glanced at Su Mo without saying a word.

"When I was at my parents' house, I read a miscellaneous journal, which described the reasons why the fields by the sea could not be planted and the solutions. It's just that it's been so long that I can't remember the solution clearly.

The last time I went back to the county bookstore, I couldn't find it, so I gave up.

Who would have thought that now we have fifteen acres of land, so I thought about it and went to Yizhou Prefecture to have a look."

Su Mo noticed that the village chief's gaze was getting intense. She lowered her head pretending to be embarrassed, her eyelashes trembling slightly, and her voice lowered.

"If we can find it, my family won't have to worry about their livelihood in the future..."

Chen Yuanhai and the village chief were shocked.

The oxcart screeched to a halt, and Chen Yuanhai turned around, his eyes as wide as bells.

"Sister-in-law of the Gu family, do you really mean what you said?"

He stared at Su Mo blankly, his heart already in turmoil.

Their family is one of the few in the village that does not go to sea.

When Chen Yuanhai's grandfather and two uncles went out to sea with their father, they never imagined that it was raining heavily and the sea wind was strong, and the boat capsized. When the four of them were swept to the shore by the waves, they all had only one breath left.

The village chief who was guarding the seaside rushed to the rescue, but in the end, only Chen Yuanhai's father was rescued. From then on, Chen Yuanhai's father had a shadow of the sea.

He renamed his eldest son Chen Cihai, and later gave birth to another son, who was also named Chen Lihai and Chen Yuanhai.

He also strictly prohibited the three brothers from going near the seaside, and they were not allowed to follow them out to sea for fishing.

But if you don’t go to sea, how can you make money?

Chen Yuanhai's father suffered serious physical losses due to that incident and was unable to do heavy work.

Fortunately, the village chief helped the younger generation and gave the job of selling fish to Chen Yuanhai's family, and also gave the job of driving bullock carts to his family, so the family was able to have enough food and clothing.

But as time goes by, it is inevitable that some people will have objections, especially Mrs. Wang’s family who often refuse to pay for the car in the name of relatives.

But if what Su Mo said is true, it means that their good days are coming...

The village chief was as excited as Chen Yuanhai at this moment. It wasn't that he wasn't calm enough, it was just that the temptation of growing crops in the fields was too great.

When the villagers go out to sea, they are gambling with their lives. It's fine if the sea is calm, but if the weather suddenly changes or they encounter a sea monster, their lives will be lost.

But if you don't go, where will the money come from for the family to eat, drink, and have sex?

Going to work in the county?

Someone once asked me how I could get enough money for only ten cents after working hard for five hours.

Moreover, the village is close to the sea. Every few years in August and September, dragons will cross the sea. Repairing the house also costs a lot of money.

But if the fields can grow crops, it will be different...

"Of course it's true..." That's weird.

Su Mo smiled lightly.

If the setting of going fishing at sea is compared to a circle, the people in Luoshan Village are trapped inside.

Occasionally someone rebels.

I tried to farm, but found that the fields could not produce crops, so I had to give up.

Later, I tried to find a part-time or long-term worker in the county town. After asking around, I found that the money was very little, so I gave up my mind.

Later, some people wanted to raise poultry, but they couldn't keep them alive and had no choice but to give up.

Then there were people who wanted to open up wasteland, but found that it was difficult and difficult to plant the land, so they gave up completely.

As time goes by, they are tightly bound by this circle and no longer make changes. They just have vague extravagant hopes deep in their hearts.

This is why everyone was so shocked when Su Mo said she caught a wild boar by digging a trap...
