With a rooster crow, Chen Laoshi rubbed his eyes and jumped out of bed.
The morning in Wanxian County was a bit cold.
Chen Laoshi put on his clothes and washed his face with cold water.
He suddenly felt sober.
This generation has a lot of unclaimed wasteland, and the government has said that it belongs to whoever reclaims it.
Chen Laoshi said that he must not miss such a good opportunity and cultivate more acres of land.
It would be too busy for one person, but fortunately he borrowed a cow from the government.
This solves a big problem.
Oxen can plow fields much faster than people.
Chen Laoshi is forty-three this year, but he is still alone and unable to find a wife.
He often cursed secretly that this damn world offered no way for people to survive.
The Western Army and the official army surrounded Wanxian and fought in chaos.
You came and I came and no one was willing to give up.
The young people ran away wherever they could, including Chen Laoshi.
But later one of his fellow villagers came to him and said that the Western thieves had been driven away by the army.
Today, the newly appointed Sichuan governor Wen Anzhi is in charge of affairs in eastern Sichuan.
Governor Wen is a very kind man.
Not only did they not arrest the young men, they also encouraged the common people to settle the land.
Whoever cultivates the wasteland is the one who counts.
If you really don't want to reclaim wasteland, you can rent high-quality farmland directly from the government, and the government will also reduce rent and interest.
Chen Laoshi didn't believe it at first.
How can such a good thing happen in this world?
Not to mention anything else, doesn’t the government just rely on collecting taxes to survive?
It has its own reasons that it can’t live with.
But his fellow villager patted his chest and promised that what he said was true.
He had already reclaimed two acres of wasteland and rented another acre of high-quality farmland.
The little fellow persuaded Chen Laoshi again and again, and finally he was a little tempted.
What he hears in his heart is false, and what he sees is belief.
Since the rumor is so evil, he should go and see it with his own eyes.
With the mentality of watching the fun, Chen Laoshi followed the fellow villager back to Wanxian County.
You don't know it by looking at it, but you are shocked when you look at it.
I saw many farmers working hard in the farmland outside Wanxian City.
Many of them looked familiar to Chen Laoshi, and some of them could even name them.
I'm really back, I'm really back Chen LaoShi burst into tears and cried unsatisfactorily.
From that moment on, he vowed to work hard and carve out a few acres of his own land.
This is a good time to catch up.
In peacetime, an acre of top-quality land would only cost more than ten taels of silver.
The key point was that no one would sell it.
Who would sell their land unless they have no choice but to survive?
That is something only a prodigal would do.
Whether they are landlords or ordinary farmers, land is more important than their wealth and life.
Whenever there is a few acres of land, it must be cultivated carefully so that it can be passed down to future generations.
Who is willing to sell Troubled times are good.
Troubled times gave him the opportunity to cultivate and cultivate.
With these things, Chen Laoshi has a head start.

The harvest in the first year will not be very good, but after one year of fertilizer application, the harvest will be much better if you plant crops in the second or third year.
Chen Laoshi secretly vowed in his heart that he would save money to buy a cow of his own in three years at most.
This eliminates the need to borrow the government's cattle.
After all, the government's cattle are only used for reclaiming wasteland.
If you borrow it again after reclaiming it, you will have to pay.
It’s okay if you don’t have money for the time being, then just owe it and pay it off when the crops are harvested.
Chen Laoshi didn't want to owe the government money all the time, so he had to buy the cow.
It was just a matter of time.
Now that the land has been almost plowed, the next step is to plow it deeply.
Chen Laoshi went out of the house, fetched the cow from the cowshed, and walked out while eating dry steamed pancakes.
When he saw the little fellow Si Dan, he smiled slightly and said hello: "Dan baby, where are you going?"
"Uncle Chen, don't you know?
The government is going to distribute seeds to us.
Everyone is rushing to the city.
Do you want to go too?"
Chen Laoshi was stunned when he heard this.
Distributing seeds is such a good thing.
"This can't be fake, can it?"
"What are you lying about?
Everyone has gone, and I have to go quickly.
I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up if I go late."
After saying that, Si Dan was about to leave.
"Hey, wait for me" Chen Laoshi swallowed and said, "I'll tie the cow back first."
After that, he walked quickly towards the bullpen.
After tying up the cow, he trotted all the way to catch up with Sidan and asked breathlessly: "Danwa, why did the government suddenly become so good?"
Until now, Chen Laoshi still finds it a bit unbelievable.
In the past, the government gave people the impression of being ruthless.
If they didn't pay the grain, they would be chained up and taken to the Yamen to be beaten.
The fried meat with bamboo shoots doesn't taste good.
As soon as I pulled off my pants, the big bamboo board hit my buttocks, which was really painful.
Chen Laoshi had eaten a plate once and really didn’t want to try it a second time.
"Hey, I can't explain this clearly.
But it must have something to do with Governor Wen.
As soon as Governor Wen came to eastern Sichuan, the government treated us much more kindly."
"Hey, the governor is really a living Bodhisattva."
Chen Laoshi followed up with a few words of praise, his Adam's apple twitching and said, "I just don't know how many seeds I can get this time."
Seeing Chen Laoshi's money-obsessed look, Sidan laughed out loud: "This is not very good.
But your two acres of land should be enough for farming."
“That’s great” Chen Laoshi clenched his fists excitedly and his eyes gleamed.
Don't blame him for being excited.
You must know that seeds are a very important material in this era.
No matter how tight life is for ordinary farmers, they still have to set aside some grain to make seeds.
Otherwise, what will we use to sow seeds next year?
If you eat even the seeds, the current hunger is over, but what will happen next year?
Are you going to drink northwest wind with the whole family?

Chen Laoshi naturally had no seeds in his hands.
He originally thought about buying some, even on credit.
But now that the government is willing to distribute seeds to everyone, he certainly doesn't want to spend an unjust amount of money.
Like most ordinary people in this era, Chen Laoshi lives a tight budget and lives with a tight belt.
Wanxian County is not a big town.
Chen Laoshi and Si Dan entered the city one after another and followed the flow of people towards the county government office.
There was a huge crowd, rubbing shoulders and kicking feet.
Except for visiting the temple fair during the New Year, Chen Laoshi had never seen the county town so lively.
Chen Laoshi finally moved to the gate of the county government office, but was blocked and couldn't see anything.
As for Si Dan, not to mention his eyes darkened.
Chen Laoshi was angry and annoyed, but Si Dan rolled his eyes and said, "Uncle Chen, lift me up."
Chen Laoshi said yes, can't you see the little baby if you lift it up?
Without saying a word, he struggled to lift Sidan up.
Sidan could suddenly see the scene in front of him clearly.
At the yamen gate, several yamen servants were distributing seeds to farmers one by one.
The bags of seeds were so bulging that they filled up the open space at the entrance of the government office.
It looked like there was still plenty for everyone who came today
