After a moment's thought, Village Chief Song said, "I'll go and tell everyone the news right away."
As for whether or not to stay and settle down in this valley, that's up to each person. He didn't insist.
Anyway, his family has made up their minds to settle down in the valley.
Everyone is now camped in the valley, and their homes are not far apart. The news quickly spread.
After months of fleeing hardship, everyone was exhausted. Most of them decided to settle down in the valley.
Some people even started fighting for territory that very night, disregarding the darkness.
Some families even got into arguments over territory.
"What's all the commotion about?" Village Chief Song said sternly. "We all fled from the same village, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say we're sworn brothers. Now, over a few pieces of wasteland, you're acting like mortal enemies. How can we get along in the future? Do you think everything will be fine once you've settled down in the valley? That there won't be any more difficulties in the future? That we won't need to support each other anymore?"
After being scolded by Village Chief Song, the families who had been arguing fiercely over a piece of land were all a little embarrassed.
"Besides, this valley is so big, how many families do we have? Isn't that enough to accommodate you? We can look for land slowly tomorrow during the day?"
Village Chief Song realized that things couldn't continue like this; if the villagers continued to fight over the food, trouble would inevitably break out sooner or later.
So he simply said that the villagers were not allowed to seize land at night, and everything would be arranged after dawn the next day.
However, not many villagers listened to him.
They continued to wander around under the moonlight, trying to find a good spot as soon as possible. They only stopped when a villager was accidentally bitten by a snake in the grass.
"Dr. Li, help!" It was Sun's eldest son who was crying as his mother helped him run towards the Lu family's camp.
Because of his inner turmoil, Li Shi refused to treat anyone for no reason. He turned a deaf ear to the pleas for help from the Sun family mother and son, and only focused on fiddling with the wild rabbit skin in his hands.
Sun's mother was extremely anxious, so she had no choice but to turn around and beg Village Chief Song for help again.
Village Chief Song was furious at the villagers who wouldn't listen to him, but in the end, it was a human life at stake, and he couldn't bear to watch any longer. He went to Lu Shiyan and said, "Sanlang, Sun Dalang grew up with you. You're just going to watch him die like this. You should talk to Brother Li and ask him to see a doctor for Sun Dalang."
Lu Shiyan didn't bother Li Shi with such a trivial matter.
After examining Sun Dalang's wound, he picked some herbs to treat snake venom and gave them to Sun's mother and son, instructing them to take them home, crush them, and apply them to the wound.
The Sun family mother and son knelt down to thank Lu Shiyan before taking the medicinal herbs back home.
After the Sun family mother and son left, Village Chief Song sighed and said, "Sanlang, what do you think we should do about this? If we don't come up with a plan, I'm afraid things will get out of hand again."
In the past, villagers would fight tooth and nail over a field ridge or a small hill. Now, with so much unclaimed land, everyone can fight over it—won't that cause chaos?
Before Lu Shiyan could speak, Jiang Tangtang leaned closer and said, "Husband, I have an idea."
Actually, Jiang Tangtang hadn't planned to get involved in this matter.
But the system kept telling her in her head that this was a great opportunity to earn career points. With career points, she could draw random rewards again and exchange them for more storage space to expand her capacity.
She ultimately couldn't resist the temptation and decided to stand up.
"What good ideas does Sanlang's wife have?" Given how much Lu Shiyan values Jiang Tangtang, Village Chief Song no longer dares to look down on Jiang Tangtang.
Jiang Tangtang said, "We can first measure the nearby land, select the land that is not suitable for cultivation, and plan it together for use as residential land. We can decide which family gets which residential land by drawing lots."
"That's a good idea!" Village Chief Song agreed wholeheartedly. This way, there's no need to worry about people arguing over who gets to build their homes.
Village Chief Song's impression of Jiang Tangtang changed again. "What about the reclaimed farmland?"
Jiang Tangtang said, "The arable land that can be reclaimed is divided into three categories: superior, medium, and inferior. Whoever contributes more to the village will be allocated more land."
When we first settled here, in addition to building the cave that leads to the outside world, we also had to carry out road construction and water conservancy projects.
With such a reward policy, everyone's enthusiasm will be further motivated.
“That’s true.” Village Chief Song nodded in agreement and said to Lu Shiyan, “Your wife is very thoughtful. You two are both extremely capable people.”
Afterwards, the three of them discussed in detail the evaluation criteria for superior and inferior land, and then Village Chief Song left with a yawn.
As soon as the outsiders left, Jiang Tangtang started to whine and pester Lu Shiyan, saying, "Husband, my stomach hurts."
Lu Shiyan rarely showed such helplessness.
He used all his stored spiritual energy to save the cub, and now he really can't do it anymore, he really can't satisfy her.
Looking at him, Jiang Tangtang wanted to laugh a little. "I want to drink brown sugar water, husband, please make me some."
Lu Shiyan breathed a sigh of relief for no apparent reason. "Go and wait, I'll bring it to you when it's ready."
Jiang Tangtang took out the brown sugar she had drawn from the system earlier and gave it to Lu Shiyan. She lay down next to her son and kissed his rosy little face as he slept. Then she started looking through the pile of useless things she had drawn from the system today.
Although I find it distasteful, I have to admit that this "Complete Book of Civil Engineering" truly lives up to the transmigration bible that the system claims it to be.
It not only covers the firing techniques for red bricks and the manufacturing techniques for cement, but also architectural mechanics, water conservancy engineering, and other related topics.
In addition to theoretical knowledge, there are video explanations and even audio broadcasts.
Xianyu Jiang chose voice broadcast without hesitation.
By the time Lu Shiyan finished making the brown sugar water and brought it over, Jiang Tangtang had already drifted off to sleep under the hypnotic influence of the voice announcement.
Watching the mother and son snuggling together, drooling in their sleep, a tenderness flashed in Lu Shiyan's eyes that he himself didn't even notice.
He carefully placed the boiled brown sugar water, sat down beside the two of them, closed his eyes, and began to meditate.
Before dawn the next day, the villagers were already busy at work.
Village Chief Song took a sip of water to moisten his throat and said in a commanding tone, "Everyone, don't rush to move things and claim territory. Let me say a few words first."
The villagers all stopped and looked at the village chief.
“Last night, I discussed it with Lu Sanlang, and we decided…” Village Chief Song explained the method Jiang Tangtang had mentioned: drawing lots to determine the land foundations and allocating the land according to contribution value.
However, fearing that Jiang Tangtang, being a woman, wouldn't carry much weight, she referred to the person as Lu Shiyan.
Even so, his words were met with unanimous opposition.
"Why should we listen to your orders?" Fang Mulin, who was usually cowardly, was surprisingly brave at this moment and shouted loudly.
"Exactly, why should you have the final say?"
