Rebirth of the beauty of the peasant girl

Chapter 394 Cursed place?

The sky is big and the earth is big. In Pingyang County, Liu County Magistrate is the biggest. Naturally, you can do whatever you want.

The villagers murmured in their hearts, how dare they talk back to her.

One more thing, maybe they have to give up Qili Village directly.

Qing Luo saw that the villagers dared not speak out, and asked, "Where is Li Zheng in your village? Did he order you to do this?"

Unexpectedly, as soon as the words came out, someone replied: "Master County Magistrate, I am Li Zheng of Qili Village."

Qingluo looked at him, and found that he was actually the man who pushed the victims and was kicked by Huang Butou.

Li Zheng in a village behaves so arrogantly and violently, one can imagine what the whole village will be like.

It's no wonder that the victims live so hard here, even their children are bullied by local children in Qili Village.

Qingluo nodded, and went to ask some victims: "Why are there only women and children here, where are all the men?"

The elderly and children looked at her with vigilance and distrust in their eyes.As homeless people with nowhere to turn, they instinctively feared rejecting court officials.

Only the woman who had just been rescued was grateful to her, wiped her tears and said, "My lord, Zhang Li is taking the men out to find a way to survive, and said to see if they can find some work to do, and we can't just keep pointing at the yamen to distribute food." ..."

In this chapter, Zheng is a decent person, Qingluo has a good impression of him, and asked, "When will he come back?"

The woman looked up at the sun and said: "It will probably be soon, they will come back at noon to have a meal, and then go out after the meal."

"Okay, when he comes back, let him find me at Lizheng's house in the village... What's your name?" She asked Lizheng of Qili Village.

I was stunned there.

Catcher Huang raised his leg and gave him a kick, cursing: "My lord asks you something, but you answer it, you idiot, why are you so stunned!"

"Oh, the villain's name is Lian Er." He rubbed his buttocks, and looked resentfully at Huang Butou's feet.

Huang Cattou was wearing official boots, and he was very strong, so it would not be so easy to get kicked.

"Lian Er, right?" Qing Luo nodded and told the woman, "Do you remember? As soon as he comes back, he will go to Lian Er's house. I have something to tell him."

"Okay, I remember." The woman nodded hurriedly.

Qingluo: "Let's go around the village, Feng Jia stays behind and helps this sister-in-law put up the tent again."

"Ah?" Feng Jia Pi Dian Dian followed behind and was about to leave, when he heard this, his face immediately turned bitter.

"Ah what?" Huang Butou was about to raise his leg to kick him again, "You brat almost threw someone into the water just now, why don't you agree to ask you to stay and help?"

"Okay, okay, I'll just stay..." Feng Jia jumped up to avoid his feet, nimbly like a rabbit.

Seeing that his dodging posture is extremely proficient, he must have practiced it many times.

Seeing Lian Er is extremely envious.

If he had this skill, he wouldn't have been kicked like a grandson just now...

Leaving Feng Jia behind, Qing Luo led the rest of the people and walked towards Qili Village, asking, "Lian Er, how much land do you have in total here?"

Lian Er didn't dare to hide anything, and replied honestly: "There are 540 mu of land in the village, but [-] mu of land belong to rich man Li's family, and the rest of the villagers can have three or four mu."

These are all documented in the county, and it is useless for him to hide them.

Qingluo calculated in her heart, and asked doubtfully, "How can there be only such a little?"

She knew that in Nanqiao Village, the Liu family's old house alone has more than 20 mu of land. Although most of the dry land cannot grow rice, it is still no problem to grow corn cobs.

At this time, the crop yield is very low. If each household in Qili Village has only three or four mu of land, coupled with the drought and reduced harvest, it will not be enough to feed the family anyway.

What's more, there are still a lot of taxes to pay every year.

Seeming to see her doubts, Lian Er added: "My lord, I'm actually talking about paddy fields. Unlike other places, there is no usable dry land in our village."

"It's all paddy fields?" Qing Luo was even more surprised.

"Yes, what the villain said is absolutely true, and I would never dare to lie to the county magistrate." Although Lian Er has a bad temper, at least he knows how powerful he is, and he dare not speak nonsense in front of the county magistrate.

At this time, the group of them had reached a large plowing field, and many people were busy in the field.

It's not that everything will be fine if the seedlings go down, and you need to be careful.Irrigation, catching insects, and preventing seedlings from getting sick, none of them should be underestimated.

Therefore, from planting to harvesting, the responsible farmers spend almost every day in the fields.After all, it is about food and taxes for the family in the coming year.

Walking around the field ridge, Qingluo found that almost all of them are good paddy fields. No wonder the people in Qili Village live well even though the per capita field is very small.

Only in this way, her idea is a little difficult to realize.

Originally, she thought that there would be a lot of dry fields here, so she planned to buy some and let the victims grow potatoes and sweet potatoes.

But here are all paddy fields, and she knows how important and precious paddy fields are to farmers.

Even if she offered silver several times higher than the market price, they would never sell it.

It seems that Qili Village is going to die, so we can only find another place.

Thinking of the potatoes and sweet potato seedlings in the valley, she was inexplicably irritable.

There can be no further delay.

In order to relieve this feeling of irritability, she looked up into the distance, took a few deep breaths, and suddenly found that there was a large piece of open land separated by a low hill.

"Where is that place?" She called Lian Er.

Lian Er looked at it, and said, "That's also the land of the village, but it's useless."

"It's no use?"

"That's right, there's nothing to grow there, not even grass to grow, let alone crops..." Lian Er said with some regret, "If not, our Qili Village wouldn't only have this few fields... I don't know what's going on , what to plant and what to die... Hey!"

Feng Yi leaned over: "My lord, I also heard that the land in Qili Village has suffered some kind of curse, so nothing grows..."

"Go away! What nonsense!" Qing Luo glared at him.

Feng Yi said aggrievedly: "It's true. Who doesn't know about it? What the old people said is even more evil. Otherwise, why doesn't the good land grow food?"

Lian Er didn't make a sound to refute.

Apparently even the local villagers of Qili Village thought so too.

Naturally, Qing Luo didn't believe any curse words, "Go, go and have a look."

Such a large piece of land, at least one or two hundred mu, is too wasteful to leave it empty.

Lian Er was reluctant to go there at first, saying that it was unlucky and no one in the village was allowed to go there.

After receiving Huang Bu's head and kicks on his ass again, he calmed down and led the way with a sad face.

"My lord, I'm going to be unlucky, very unlucky..." He muttered as he walked.
