Chapter 96 The Terraced Fields Are Built

Moving rice seeds is physical work, Chen Fan washed a peach and ate it, and the taste was still so delicious.

If you can't sleep in the afternoon nap, just tidy up the No. [-] floor, otherwise there will always be a feeling that the room is messy.

As usual, she picked up boxes and bags first, and then sorted things into categories.

When she arrived at the construction site, some of the villagers were digging and some were picking up the soil, and the prototype of the river had already been formed.

Zhang Ci and the others didn't come back until the evening, and there was no emotion on their faces.

"How's the arrangement over there?" Chen Fan asked him.

"Tomorrow there will be work to dig a few ditches. They are really just ditches. Kaiyun Village gathered 100 people and worked for two days. When you shovel the embankment and the river diverges, I only need to dig a few ditches. A culvert is fine."

"It's good to be able to gather 100 people."

Mo Jian smiled: "You didn't see that battle, it was a quarrel. The matter of the cow was not discussed."

What's the noise?I really want to ask.

The villagers of Qijiadu gathered after dinner, and Li was announcing the plan of raising cattle to everyone.

"If the cow dies, you have to pay ten pennies? I won't raise it anymore, and I can raise chickens to death." Dozens of families have quit.

"I want to lend it to everyone to plow? What should I do if someone accidentally kills the cow and makes it sick?" Some families withdrew.

They retreated quite gracefully, without arguing or arguing, they quit if they didn't plan to raise them, and they didn't sneer at those who wanted to stay.

Chen Fan touched his chin, and the people in this village were quite calm.

In the end, ten families remained, adopting ten mature cows and six calves.There are also four cows, which Zhang Ci said can be taken to Yema Mountain.

The land lease agreement was also signed, and all 85 households in the village rented some land.They are responsible for plowing the ground, sowing and harvesting.

Qin Zheng came back at night and reported to Zhang Ci for a while.Chen Fan rested his chin and thought, give her two guards and two maids, she doesn't know what things can arrange them to be busy all day and all night.

After two and a half days of work, the villagers dug the river.Only when the bridge is built can the embankment be dug to drain the water.She paid her wages, and she has nothing to do here for the time being.

"Let me go to Mustang Mountain with you. Mojian and the others can take care of it. Qin Zheng will go there with us." Zhang Ci said.

When he arrived at Yema Mountain, Chen Fan met Mr. Yao, a thin man of nearly 40 years old.Several people met each other, and Master Yao began to introduce the plan of terraced fields.

"The land here has been surveyed, various marks have been made, and some stewards have been trained. The county mobilized villagers from several villages, a total of 2000 people, and work can start tomorrow."

2000 people?The county government is very caring.

"If 2000 people work and get paid, the food problem for 2000 people will be solved." Yao Zhubo said.

Oh too.The county government is eager to employ more people, right?

"Have they divided into groups?" Chen Fan asked.

"It's all divided up, and the position of each group has been explained." Master Yao said.

"If Master Yao builds the terraced fields this time, it will definitely be a good start for Shengping County to renovate and utilize barren hills. Many mountains in Shengping County can grow more food. As long as he can do practical things for the people, he will You can definitely make more achievements." Zhang Ci looked at Master Yao and said.

Master Yao was stunned, his lips trembled, and his eyes gradually became dazzled.He stood up and bowed to him: "Ms. Yao thanked the girl and the young master for their kindness. I will do my best to do more practical things for the people."

Zhang Ci nodded: "Master Yao has worked hard for the past few days."

"This is my duty. Please rest assured, Young Master and Miss. I will go out to do my work first, so I will take my leave."

Chen Fan glanced at Zhang Ci, did he give Director Yao hope that there will be more opportunities and a bigger stage in the future?
Even though he left home, the family behind him is still there.

As usual, a ceremony is held for the reconstruction of terraced fields, offering sacrifices to mountain gods.Chen Fan was very excited during the first ceremony, and she was very solemn when offering sacrifices to the river god, but she has calmed down for the third ceremony.She will continue to buy fields in the future, and there will be many such ceremonies.

The labor scene of 2000 people was very shocking, and the people at the foot of the mountain surrounded the whole Yema Mountain.Obstacles on the ground have been cleared away. Master Yao adopted the method of turning down one by one. First, he built the lowest field on one side of the slope into a terrace, and then pushed all the topsoil on the previous field to the completed terrace. Spread evenly on the terraces, and so on.

While building the terraced fields, Chen Fan and Zhang Ci also allocated a few acres of land and discussed building a house.The craftsmen stopped and went to build the sheds and the walls.

After six days of busy work, people repaired terraced fields, dug diversion ditches and flood outlets, and began to store water for planting.

People in Shengping County have never seen such a scene.Thousands of people stood on the hillside, looking excitedly at the layers of terraced fields stretching on the hillside, each terraced field shimmering and shining with charming luster.The living trees waved happily to the crowd, full of vitality.

When these trees grow and flourish, they will form a natural reservoir to retain water.

Tears welled up in Master Yao's eyes again.This was a dream he had always had, and it finally became a reality.He led people to create the first terraced field in Shengping County.

The people in the county government are also very excited, who would not like the taste of political achievements?
