Chapter 625 Land Dispute
The sun at noon in summer in the northern hemisphere is extremely harsh, and the dry and hot desert oasis has no air flow. Looking far away, the golden sand is full of golden sand. Under the high temperature, it looks a little illusory and unreal. reality.

"What are you going to do?"

Yun Yi asked the young woman beside her with a look of despair and a little unwillingness.Seeing the expression of gritting his teeth and insisting not to let his tears flow down, Yun Yi's heart was extremely heavy.It is not difficult to control the desert and improve the planetary environment in this era, and the cost is much less than building an orbital elevator.It only needs a few thousand agricultural mechas, plus the specially developed drought-resistant plants, it only takes less than [-] million, and within five years at most, the environment of this planet can be greatly improved. But enough for ordinary people to survive.

However, in this dirty and decaying country, even this little money is not willing to invest, allowing a large amount of precious land to be gradually swallowed up by the desolate desert.

The young woman looked at all this desolately. For a long time, her eyes fell on the little girl who was curiously playing with the sand not far away, and said in a low voice: "What else can I do? This is my last hope. , for the sake of the baby, I have to persevere."

Yunyi took out her land deed, and among the 150 acres of land marked on it, at least [-] acres were uncultivable neighbors and deserts.Of the remaining [-] acres, [-] acres are far away from the oasis lake, and it is impossible to cultivate it without building a water pipeline.In other words, he only has [-] acres of land to use.He had also seen the title deed of the young woman. Although it was marked with [-] mu of land, there were less than [-] mu of land that could be cultivated.After a year, apart from feeding the two of them, I am afraid there will not be much money left.

"Let's find a place to live first." Yun Yi comforted, the young woman nodded silently, and called the little girl to walk into the town.With Yun Yi helping him carry some packages, the young woman can relax a lot.

Thankfully, rent is extremely cheap in small towns.During the Zhao Song Empire, many residential buildings were built in this small town.Although it is impossible to build too high a floor because of the soft geology, the number is very large.Later, under the recession of the economy and the erosion of the desert, many people left here, leaving a lot of empty houses.Yunyi rented an apartment with two bedrooms and one living room of nearly 50 square meters with [-] yuan per month in imperial gold.As if she felt that Yunyi was more credible, or that he was a good person, the young woman rented the one-bedroom and one living room next door to Yunyi.In this strange place, there are too few people who can be trusted, and the short communication along the way made the young woman temporarily recognize this young-looking man.

In the small town, most of them are poor people, but there are no villains who bully the market.The man who manages the town is a subordinate of a local baron, who rarely comes here, only when taxes are collected every year.It seems that even the subordinates of the nobles have no interest in this desolate and remote town.

In this way, Yunyi lived here.Through some exchanges, Yun Yi got to know his neighbor, Mrs. Sabrina and the little girl Sabei.

After helping Mrs. Sabrina clean up the room, Yun Yi went to the street to buy her daily necessities.Mrs. Sabrina got a lot of help from Yun Yi along the way, so she also volunteered to help him as a consultant.It has to be said that this lady's bargaining level is really good. The furniture of 120 gold yuan was cut down to 20 yuan by her. He himself feels very satisfied if he can cut down [-] yuan.With the help of this expert bargainer, Yun Yi quickly bought all the things he needed.

In Sabrina's eyes, she also became curious about this young man. The other party didn't care about the price of the items, and would buy them as long as they needed them. Although this place is very remote, the supplies are quite complete. Just some furniture and supplies It cost no less than 3000 yuan, and she didn't look like a bankrupt like her who was desperate.But the smart Sabrina didn't ask too much about it. Everyone has their own secrets. Since the other party doesn't want to tell, why should she ask so clearly?

On the way home, Yun Yi went to the vegetable market again and bought a lot of local specialty vegetables.According to him, Mrs. Sabrina and little Saber were going to be entertained, which made the lady even more surprised. Could it be that this young man can cook?
Until dinner, when the other party came to ask them to eat, she was almost stunned looking at the dishes exuding tempting aromas on the table, but little Sabei had already jumped on her with a laugh.

"Mom, Uncle Wei's cooking is delicious."

Sabrina knocked on the little girl's head, feigned anger and said: "I told you, don't call me Uncle Weird." Then she apologized and said to Yun Yi: "This child..."

"Hehe, kid, it's nothing." Yun Yi smiled and greeted: "Come and try it, I haven't done it myself for a long time, I hope the level hasn't dropped."

The aroma of the dishes rushed into her nostrils irresistibly, and the lady's throat moved.These days, whether on the train or at Fenghuanxing, I haven't had a good hot meal.Looking at these, she seemed to be in a dream, and she was a little absent-minded.

After a long time, she put some vegetables into her mouth, and after chewing, her eyes lit up.A long time ago, when she was just married, she and her husband also went to many famous local restaurants, but they had never tasted such delicious food.

"May I ask, is Mr. Yun's occupation... a chef?"

Yun Yi tilted her head thinking, what exactly is her occupation?Mecha warriors, mecha maintenance workers, mecha designers, battleship designers, warship maintenance workers, optical brain engineers, programmers, group chairman, school principals... There are many, many, but no one seems to say that he is a Famous chef, right?

"Actually... I'm a mech farmer, and besides, I'm also a part-time programmer." Yun Yi said with certainty.Compared to these two professions, the other ones are too scary to say.I'm afraid that in this kind of place, even if you tell it, no one will believe it.In today's Iseras Empire, because Zaku's focus is almost all on the military, as long as the professions related to mechas and battleships are very popular, no matter how poor they are, they will not fall here.

"It's unbelievable." Sabrina said in surprise: "It's hard to imagine that you have this kind of craftsmanship. Is it a family tradition?"

Yun Yi scratched her head: "It was because I was bored at first, but then I kept studying hard to take care of my younger sister. I didn't expect to be praised by my wife now, I am really flattered."

"You are so humble."

Under the stimulation of delicious food, the two sides quickly became acquainted.After the meal was full, the little girl patted her slightly swollen belly and said with a smile, "It's been a long time since I've eaten so full, I blame uncle's cooking for being so delicious, it's a hundred times better than mom's... no, it's ten thousand better Times!"

Sabrina blushed slightly, and explained in a low voice: "We used to eat outside, but then..."

"Come to my place for lunch and dinner in the future."

Since it is impossible to take care of most people in this country, at least we should help a small number of people within our ability.That's what Yun Yi thought in his heart. Until now, he has not forgotten the matter that His Majesty the Empress told him to treat Zhao Song people kindly before his death.

Naturally, Sabrina wouldn't want to, even though her family was in trouble, she still wanted to save face.But Yun Yi used Xiao Shabei's body as an excuse, but she didn't allow her to refuse any more.

Twenty acres of land looks huge, and it is not troublesome to cultivate it.

There is an agricultural machine armor leased from the outside in the town, and it only takes a few hours to complete all the work on the [-] acres of land.If you don't know how to drive, you can also hire a local driver, of course the price is not cheap.In fact, in this era, it is extremely easy to be a farmer. Let alone twenty acres, even two hundred or two thousand acres, they will not cultivate with their faces facing the loess and their backs facing the sky like in the earth era.Perhaps, only on an extremely backward planet like Natasha's hometown, would there be people who worked hard to dig the ground with a hoe.

Early the next morning, Yun Yi and Sabrina went to the town government to receive the land.

When Yunyi handed over her land deed to the government office staff, the other party's eyes cast a strange light.Yun Yi could easily find out that it was an extreme disgust.

"Crack." After a bright red seal was stamped, the staff member casually threw it to him and shouted, "Next."

Whispers from around came to his ears: "That field seems to be planted by old Jem. These hateful strangers, they really have to be killed to be willing."

"Shh, keep your voice down. They are all holding the official land deed issued by the Ministry of Civil Affairs of the Empire. Even if they file a lawsuit, old Jem will definitely lose."

Sensing the unfriendly gazes around her, Yun Yi was a little puzzled, could it be that someone cultivated these lands of her own?After Sabrina finished processing, the two walked out.A second-hand old suspension car, which Yunyi bought at the local flea market yesterday, cost only 1000 yuan. Although the speed is not very fast, the performance is not bad.Little Sabei kept looking out in the car, until she saw the two before she smiled happily.

The hover car flew slowly and drove out of the town.Not long after, we came to the place marked on the land deed.But what surprised the two of them was that the [-] mu of land not far away was growing tender and oily wheat, and the growth was gratifying, and it would be harvested in about two months.It can be seen that the people who planted this piece of wheat are very concerned about this piece of land and take care of it carefully.

There were five or six people standing on the side of the road, some men and some women. An old man wearing a straw hat was squatting on the side of the road, smoking a cigarette dully, with a lot of cigarette butts thrown at his feet.

"You are the masters of these lands."

When Yun Yi and Sabrina stepped off the suspension car, the old man stood up in front of them, with lean muscles under his bronzed skin.It can be seen that this is an old man who has been dealing with the land all his life, and rarely uses high-tech gadgets such as agricultural mechs.Sensing the unkindness in the eyes of one or two of them, Yun Yi stopped little Sabei who wanted to get out of the car, and locked the car door.

"If the sign on the land deed is correct, it should be here." Yun Yi smiled warmly, as bright as the sun.

The old man seemed a little hesitant, but he glanced at the wheat that was about to ripen, gritted his teeth, and said, "I also know that those who can come here are people who can't survive. We have been renting this land from the baron's mansion before. Although we have to pay a lot, it can keep our family alive and not starve. Now that you have come with the title deed, we should return this land to you. But look at this wheat..."

He turned his head, looked at the green wheat field, took a deep breath, and said with a satisfied face: "What a rich wheat fragrance, it can be predicted that this year will be a good harvest." He turned his head, with a sad face , sighed: "Can you give the old man two months to take back the land after this batch of wheat matures, and we will pay you a reasonable rent."

Yunyi didn't say anything, in fact, these lands were just a cover for his identity.But Sabrina, who was behind him, was a little anxious. The money she brought with her was not much after paying the rent, and she urgently needed this piece of land to create economic value.Although the old man said that he would pay them rent, everyone knew that the rent for ten acres of land was not much, compared to the value of the land output, it was about one-tenth.

"That won't work. We have a title deed. If you don't return the land to us, we can meet in court."

Sabrina's voice is full of force, this land is her only hope of survival, and she doesn't have much time to wait.

"you……"

Someone behind the old man couldn't help it anymore, a burly man stepped forward, raised his fist fiercely and shouted: "If you didn't see that you are a woman, I would have beaten you long ago."

"You are still unreasonable, see clearly, the land deed is in my hands." Sabrina raised the land deed in her hand without flinching. Although she was very scared, she knew that she could not back down.

The big man reached out to grab the title deed, but Sabrina put it away hastily.The big man grinned grimly and said, "It's in the wilderness here, and no one will know if you kill you."

Sabrina couldn't help shivering, stepped back a few steps, and looked at these people cautiously.

"Nobita!" The old man yelled, "Anyway, we are ignoring it." Then, he said apologetically, "This is my son-in-law, with a bit of a violent personality. Despite his vicious appearance, he is actually a good man."

The strong man named Nobita smiled honestly after hearing this.

"No matter what you say, whether you threaten or coerce, I will not hand over the land to you!" Sabrina bit her lip, and after a while, she whispered: "I have no choice, if I still If you can survive, I don’t want to force you.”

"Ah..." The old man sighed heavily, "Our family of seven or eight lives on these dozens of acres of land. The baron's rent is too high, and at least half of the grain produced every year has to be handed over to them. Last year's harvest was not good, if there is no more harvest this year, I'm afraid... our family can only be sold into the baron's mansion as slaves."

"You don't want to be slaves, do I want to?" Sabrina squeezed her hands tightly together, and the hands became bloodless due to excessive force.

"Even if it is handed over to you, we will shovel the wheat!" Big Bear roared loudly.

Not to be outdone, Sabrina shouted: "Even if we shovel it, so what, I just need to grow some vegetables with a short cycle, at least we can feed our mother and daughter!"

"Are you going to just watch the wheat that is about to mature get destroyed?" The old man stared at her with wide eyes, and the young woman also stared at him without flinching.

"It's a shame to ask."

Yun Yi walked between the two of them, and asked with a smile, "Did you all cultivate these dozens of acres of land with these tools?" He pointed to the agricultural tools that were placed aside, with curiosity in his eyes.

"We don't need these, we can't afford to rent those big ones, and we don't know how to use them." Big Bear looked at him strangely, and muttered: "You seem very smart, I didn't expect you to be stupid than me."

Yun Yi thought for a moment, then asked the old man, "Dare to ask the old man's name?"

"Don't dare." The old man quickly waved his hand and said, "Young old man, my surname is Chen, most people call me Chen's second child."

Yun Yi smiled and said, "Uncle Chen, can you tell me how long you have lived here?"

Chen Lao Er showed misery between his brows, and said with a sad face: "I have lived here all my life."

Yun Yi asked in shock: "Could it be that you, Uncle Chen, are Zhao Song's first batch of pioneers?"

"No, I should be in the third batch." Speaking of this, the old man showed a smile on his ravine face: "I spent half my life back then, working hard, and the fertile land rewarded by the empire was over a thousand acres." But soon, his expression became sad: "No one thought that the mighty Zhao Song would disappear overnight, and my land was rewarded by His Majesty to those nobles..." Speaking of this, he Cautiously looked at Yunyi, shook his head and said: "Oh, it's all over, don't mention it."

Seeing that the old man was worried, Yun Yi didn't ask any further questions, but pointed to this piece of land and said: "So, Uncle Chen is very familiar with this place?"

After the old man nodded confidently, Yun Yi took out his title deed, pointed to the [-] acres of barely arable land above, and asked, "If I want to farm here, what can you teach me?"

"Here..." Chen Laoer frowned and thought carefully: "This place is close to the border of the Gobi, with drought and little rain. If you want to farm here, the first step is to plant daikon grass nearby to prevent further erosion of the desert. The second The Department is to install a water pipeline to lead water from the Sunset Lake. Many people here also do this. Although the initial investment is larger, it can save a lot of land. And the land owned by this little brother is nearby. It’s all unowned land, as long as a water pipe is passed through, at least hundreds of acres can be irrigated, and those can be regarded as yours.”

"I don't know how much money is needed?" Yun Yi seemed to be interested, and continued to ask.

The old man's eyes lit up, and he saw that Yun Yi was not just asking.If the other party is really willing to do this, the improvement of the environment in this area will be very beneficial.For an old man who had lived here all his life, the pull was strong.

"The lowest investment..." The old man calculated in his heart and gave him a number.

"Eighty thousand?" Yun Yi clapped his hands and said with a smile, "That's it. I'll pay for the transformation of this piece of land. Mrs. Sabrina, our land can almost be connected together. Why don't you use all of your land?" Leave it to me to farm, and I will give you [-]% of the income as rent. Apart from the first time, I want to hire everyone, and the salary can definitely satisfy everyone. Mmm... Mrs. Sabrina, you are responsible for your capital Okay, let's do accounting work. What do you think?"

Whether it was Sabrina or Chen's second child, or Da Xiong and the people around him, they all looked at this young man with dumbstruck eyes.Can this kind of pie-in-the-sky thing really fall on the heads of poor people like them?
