Chapter 26: No shame in heart, no fear in action
"Today, I will lead you to engage in agriculture."
After being stunned for a moment, the refugees became excited, and everyone's face was filled with excitement. They knew that there was land to cultivate, and they would no longer have to starve, and they would no longer have to suffer humiliation and oppression from the government.
It is better to give someone rice soup than to give someone grain.
Jiang Shao thought about it. This matter must be solved fundamentally. It is useless to break up with the officials under his jurisdiction. Their situation will become more difficult and dangerous.
At this moment, there are still thin soups and porridge that are as good as the face, and hard steamed buns mixed with crushed sand. At least there is a legal place to shelter.
Once the matter is broken, reported to all levels, and officials protect each other, the matter may not come to the authority. If the government of the country also collapses, then they will really be worse than beggars.
If you want to do it, you have to kill it with one blow, leaving no time for corrupt officials to breathe and do evil.
After a moment of excitement, he ran into a difficult problem again. Someone asked, "We have farm equipment, and we are not afraid of hardship. However, we don't even have household registration and directions, so where can we go to cultivate the fields?"
If there is a road, you can enter the city openly, even if you carry sandbags on the pier, as long as someone wants it, even if it is a meager salary, it will be enough to feed the family without going hungry in spring and without freezing in winter.
It happens to be a black household. Not to mention working for others, even if you are shining shoes for others, you are afraid that the bad luck on your body will be passed on to others. Didn't you look at it? Since the greenhouse was built, the surrounding residents have moved away, even going to the fields to farm. Yes, we all go together.
"With no fields to divert water and no land to open up wasteland, are barefoot people still afraid of wearing shoes? Just do it, no matter what, it will not be worse than now." Jiang Shao pointed to the hillside behind them and said: "The soil at the foot of the mountain is fertile. The black soil is soft, so it won’t be too difficult to open up wasteland.”
"Since the last big commotion, have porridge and hard steamed buns been delivered? No! No one is willing to take care of it. Wild vegetables will have their day, and wild animals will hunt for a while, but then what?"
"I always have plenty of food in my hands and don't panic in my heart. I'm not afraid, so what do you have to fear?"
Akiyama's heart boiled. Yes, since there is a guide, there is nothing to be afraid of. Just roll up your sleeves and do it.
He silently took out the treasures from his waist and gave them to his companions one by one. They took them and looked at them for a while, and then they were returned to his hands. At the same time, he added a few words, "I have no new enmity with you. There is no old grudge, why do you think I am a fool!"
"Brother Qiu, don't play with me, I still want to continue to hang out with the lady!"
"What the hell is this? Your family is using an old slingshot for land reclamation?"
Qiu Shan's heart was numb after hearing this, and he looked at them calmly.
This feud is finally settled.
"Dry!"
"Dry!"
"We listen to our boss."
"Yes, I listened to my boss. If my boss hadn't generously taught me how to identify wild vegetables, provided channels for people to enter the city, and even purchased wild vegetables and provided direct assistance, I would have probably starved to death by now! "
"Yes, my boss won't harm us! What's more, if you are barefoot and not afraid of wearing shoes, you can earn your own living, so what is there to be afraid of!"
The whole place was once again buzzing with chatter, exchanges and cheers.
In fact, it is not a good idea to open up wasteland. Although this mountain is not a private jurisdiction, it is not your own territory after all, so you will inevitably be passive.
She is also making preparations to buy the nearby fields. These are dry fields and the harvest is not very good. It will take some time to buy them one by one. This matter needs to be promoted by Little Red Riding Hood.
The group of people walked vigorously towards the foot of the mountain. It was not far away, but the visible distance and a few steps in between were the road of hope.
Jiang Shao arranged a stick and marked out a few areas. There were few trees in this area and most of them were weeds. It would be faster to clean up.
The swords were used as sickles, the machetes were swung forward, the first few people opened the way, and the people behind took hoes and dug heavily.
Those who don't have a knife are not idle, carrying stones, sorting dead branches, and clearing weeds.
The division of labor is clear, the work is in full swing, and the work is full of motivation.
After a while, a group of people came down from the mountain. They were the ones who got up early to pick wild vegetables. Among them, the fastidious uncle was carrying two baskets, walking steadily and moving as fast as flying.
When he learned that Jiang Shao had purchased all the farm tools and planned to open up wasteland for farming because they were worried about food problems, a light flashed in his eyes and disappeared after a moment.
"Miss, is it worth doing this?"
Jiang Shao turned to look at him, "I wonder, uncle, have you ever heard of establishing a heart for heaven and earth, establishing a destiny for the people, inheriting the unique knowledge of the past saints, and creating peace for all generations?" She smiled again and said, "If I have a clear conscience, I will not be afraid.
Yu Xing."
He murmured and repeated: "...Be worthy of your heart and fearless in your deeds. I haven't heard this for a long time."
What a great person who brings peace to all generations!
It is rare in this world for a woman to have the body of a woman but the ambition of a swan in her heart, let alone a person with a clear face and good deeds.
He put down the heavy burden on his shoulders, straightened up, smoothed out the wrinkles, and said: "Miss, it's hard to be a good person, and you may not end up well, aren't you afraid?"
Jiang Shao spread his hands and said, "Be afraid, why not be afraid? Is being afraid useful? Isn't it true that bullies just rely on the weakness and timidity of the weak to bully them again and again?"
Is there any need to raise an uprising if fear is useful? Although she has no idea or desire to be the emperor of the country, and her situation is not stable, she cannot see the suffering in the world right under her nose.
After hearing this, the fastidious uncle looked up at the deep mountains, as if he had made some decision, his eyes slowly turned from deep silence to firmness, just like bright flowers blooming in a deep pool of stagnant water.
The only time to pick wild vegetables is at Mao hour. When Chenshi goes down the mountain to the city, he can just step on Chenshi's tail to deliver the vegetables.
It is a beautiful scene to see the uncle and his two companions carrying burdens into the city, riding on the golden light above the dust.
The land for reclamation was chosen well, and with the large number of people, we were able to clear away the grass before the sun turned over. The remaining digging was heavy work, and the refugees took turns to join the battle, which allowed these former giants to
The gentlemen experienced the pain of hope and hard work.
Qiu Shan and others followed Jiang Shao around the mountain. She heard from Butler Wang that not far from Qingfeng Mountain was the place where the moat flows.
As long as you plan the route well, it is not too difficult to dig ditches to divert water. However, the foot of the mountain is connected with the peaks, so it is not easy to find. After walking for about ten miles, you can faintly hear the sound of water flowing.
Looking for the sound of water flow, I finally saw the rapid river. Green grass sprouts were just sprouting on the riverside. There were several small bridges made of large bamboos tied together on the river, suspended on the water flow. From time to time, the water splashed against the hollow and decaying bamboo bridges.
, jumped up and reflected the blue silver bubbles.
Jiang Shao took a quick look and found that it was not too difficult to dig ditches, but the route was long and labor-intensive. However, they had many people, so this was naturally not a problem.
This bridge seemed to be really dangerous. It was thought that the villagers from the nearby dry fields had built it temporarily by taking a shortcut, and she complained that a new bridge should be built here.
