"I repaired it," the village head said wrongfully. "We built the road that adults came to the village to find."
Bai Shan: "... Do you call this road building? Even horses can't get in. "
Village head: "Sir, you can come in without riding on a horse."
Bai Shan was too lazy to continue the question and asked directly, "when was the last time you built the road?"
The village head said uncertainly, "four years ago? Five years ago. "
"Where is your annual corvee sent?"
The village head immediately said, "the official roads and some canals outside the mountain sometimes have to go to the seaside to build a wharf."
Anyway, there is no corvee issued to his village.
Bai Shan frowned, "is there a wharf in Beihai county?"
The village head said, "a few years ago, it was in Longchi. Later, it was not built and abandoned."
Bai Shan: "why waste?"
Village head: "because there is no money?"
Bai Shan:
Just wait until you see County Cheng Fang and county Lieutenant Dong. How can he ask a village head who can't even understand his own village corvee?
Bai Shan reached out and touched the wheat in the field. He said to the village head, "you can harvest it. Work hard. When the busy farming is over, I will issue a service order to you and build a special way out."
The village head was worried and asked nervously, "do you want to repair it outside?"
Bai Shan: "I do have such a wild prospect, but you are not many and the mountain road is difficult. If you don't send servicemen from other places, it's good that your village can be built outside in five years."
He said, "we can't delay farming hours for one road."
The village head breathed a sigh of relief.
Bai Shan saw the shortcut: "but you can't relax. It's very important to have a road to the outside. If there is a road to the outside in your village, you will still be besieged here when mountain bandits kill you. It's impossible to even ask for help?"
Bai Shan believes that the reason why the mountain bandits can attack Xiaoliu village without scruples again and again is because it is helpless.
The surrounding mountains protect the village, but they also cut off their way, so they must have a way.
And surrounded by mountains, even if the land is fertile, they just don't lack food, but life is not just food, but also clothing, housing, and the need for knowledge.
When people live for a lifetime, they always have to leave something for the world. It's not worth walking in this world, is it?
Only when Xiaoliu village leads to the outside can all this be realized.
Bai Shan's heart moved. Xiao Liu village is like this. Isn't Beihai county?
Beihai county is also small and has few people. After arriving at Qingzhou City, many caravans will turn to Laizhou and go to sea from Laizhou Bay. In addition to caravans who like salted fish, other caravans come here to sell things, and few take goods from Beihai county.
But Beihai county has few people and is poor. How many merchants can come to sell things?
Even if they eat delicacies every day, they can't leave much money for Beihai County, so they still have to find ways to attract more merchants.
How does it attract?
"My Lord, my lord?" Seeing Bai Shan in a daze, the village head shouted twice more.
Bai Shan returned to his senses, pressed down his thoughts and said to the village head, "have you scattered your rice seeds?"
"Yes, it's all budding."
"Let's go and have a look."
The village head turned and took them to see the nursery fields in the village.
There are not many people in their village. Most of the places for raising rice seedlings are in the field at the end of the village, and the river flowing through their village is just beside them.
The river is not big, so there is no danger of flood. At this time, the water of the river is gurgling, and the fields on both sides are green seedlings.
Bai Shan went down the ridge and pulled out a seedling. At this time, it was only one finger high, but the color was about to turn dark green. The fertility of the visible land was good.
He looked at the roots of the rice seedlings. They were a little thin, and their roots were not as good as the rice varieties tested in Putou village.
However, there is no water shortage here, and it is normal that the roots of seedlings are underdeveloped.
Bai Shan asked the village head, "how much rice was the average yield per mu in Shangtian last year?"
The village head opened his mouth and didn't answer. They have nothing to calculate the average yield per mu?
Bai Shan asked a few questions, "how many acres of land do you have, how many acres of rice did you plant last year, and how many bags did you collect? Have you weighed it? "
The village head can answer. He has a good memory, and the annual harvest is very important.
Bai Shan listened carefully and meditated in his heart. He had a general understanding. He asked, "who planted the best land in the village last year?"
The village head also knew that he said, "it's a pity that the old man of Erzhu's family is old-fashioned and works well. He has two fields in his family, which are very fat. He can grow higher output than other people every year."
Bai Shan sighed. It's a pity. He still wants to rent a few acres of experimental land here and let the best people plant it at that time.
He turned to the village head and asked, "does anyone in the village want to rent land?"
Village head: "... You don't have to. You can plant it through hard work. It's like Erzhu's daughter-in-law's family. Mother and daughter can't finish it. The village will help you plant it. Villagers in the village don't have to rent other people's land?"
Bai Shan said, "yes, I want to rent land."
The village head didn't know what to make up for. He smiled reluctantly on his face. He said, "why rent? If adults want to farm land, they might as well give some to adults if they have a few acres of land in their small home?"
Bai Shan glanced down at him and said, "my family is in Longzhou and my family is in the capital. What do you want here?"
Village head:
Although he was wronged, he was inexplicably happy. He breathed a sigh of relief again.
Bai Shan took back his eyes, looked at the whole seedling raising rice field and said, "I think the climate in the mountain is good. I have some new rice varieties. I want to try planting here. This kind of field is called experimental field. It doesn't need more. I can rent two or three mu."
He said, "it's not urgent. Rice seeds are not in hand. You have to plant them next year. First ask me who is willing to rent the land, and then find me an honest and obedient person who can grow the land."
The village head should immediately answer. As long as he doesn't want land, he can rent it for a few years without a penny. Should the county magistrate be promoted in a few years?
Bai Shan returned to the village before dark. The village is busy and smoke is curling. Because he wants to harvest wheat, the villagers eat late today.
Man Bao and others have just accepted the booth. As soon as they meet, they have something to say to each other.
Bai Shan paused and said, "you speak first."
Man Bao said, "I can see almost all the people in this village. I'm going out of the village tomorrow afternoon and go to several nearby villages for free clinic."
Bai shancai said: "I also want to go to several nearby villages. There are bandits in the mountains. It is impossible to rob only one village of Xiaoliu village, especially a bandit nest with about 100 people. I can't survive by robbing Xiaoliu village alone, so I want to see the situation of other villages."
