Another half month passed, and the weather in mid-April was getting hot.
Those working in the fields sweat even more.
But the people of Xincheng County feel that this year is cooler than any other time in the past.
Because the wind of hope blows in everyone's heart.
Today, the terraced fields have finally taken shape.
From a distance, it looks like a series of large flat stairs, which looks beautiful.
Zhao Jun was also very excited. It really succeeded, and the effect was extremely good.
"My lord, this is a masterpiece."
Tan Ben was crying and didn't know what to say as he looked at the hillside in the distance.
Zhao Jun took two steps away from him in silence.
"This is not a divine work, this is a human trace, a miracle created by humans."
When Zhao Jun read the book, he knew that it would take a huge effort to build terraces with just his hands.
But the hardships of this half month were beyond her imagination, and even the strongest man was exhausted.
Fortunately, the efforts paid off.
They succeeded.
When the last terrace was cultivated, the entire field was filled with exhausted people lying there.
Everyone was crying, but they were tears of joy.
"Everyone has done a great job. Today everyone's wages will be doubled. Everyone go home and have a good rest. Everyone will gather here the day after tomorrow and I will distribute the terraced fields to everyone."
Zhao Jun shouted loudly to everyone.
And those who were originally paralyzed suddenly became alert.
Want to divide the land? !
You must know that in this era, the amount of land each person had was fixed, and no one could plant more unless the government allowed it.
There is little land in their county, and each person gets a small amount of land. They didn't expect that they would be given land now.
"Everyone go back and rest first. We will divide the land the day after tomorrow. We will talk about it in detail then. Everyone, please disperse for now."
They were obviously all exhausted, yet still so excited. Zhao Jun shook his head helplessly.
"Thank you, sir. Without you, we would never have been able to do it."
"Thank you, sir. You saved our lives."
The people stood up and did not leave immediately but knelt down heavily to Zhao Jun.
They knew that if it weren't for this adult from Xianyang, they wouldn't be where they are today.
Zhao Jun looked at this group of simple people and smiled faintly.
"I got your thoughts, go back and rest."
Ordinary people are like this. If you are nice to them, they will be sincerely grateful and thank you.
But this is just what she should do.
Zhao Jun also went back and fell into a deep sleep.
Although she did not directly help in the fields during this period, running around to give instructions and explanations made her tired and thinner.
She and Qingliu supported each other and had a good sleep.
When I woke up, it was already dusk the next day.
"Hello, Lord Zhao! Have you had a good rest? I've asked the kitchen to prepare dinner and it will be served shortly."
Tan Ben finally came out of this shocking miracle. He looked extremely happy and couldn't hide his smile while talking.
"Okay, I'm hungry too." Zhao Jun stretched and said refreshed.
"By the way, sir, are you really going to divide the land tomorrow?" Tan Ben asked as if he had thought of something.
"Yeah, what's wrong?" Zhao Jun glanced at him.
"Of course I have no objection. I'm just asking, because the division of the land was previously determined by the prefecture and county. Each family pays taxes according to the land. Do we need to inform the prefecture and county before we divide the land now?"
Tan Ben is definitely not timid, he just has to follow the procedures.
"No need, we'll mark it here, and then we can just show them the registration booklet."
"By the way, the county government should have the number of fields for each family. After we finish dividing it this time, you can make changes and add to it."
Zhao Jun waved his hand and ignored Tan Ben's doubts. Those guys from Zhicheng didn't dare to control me.
"Yes, I understand."
After hearing what Zhao Jun said, Tan Ben felt relieved. With her in front, there shouldn't be any problem anyway.
Mr. Zhao had dinner and rested for the night. The next day it was time to divide the terraces.
After breakfast, she leisurely walked towards the terraced fields with Qingliu and Tan Ben.
In the early morning, the scorching sun rises from the east and looks at this side from across the distant mountain tops.
The golden light shines on the flat terraces, illuminating the dazzling land.
Zhao Jun looked from afar and thought that this terraced field would be most beautiful when it was full of green harvest.
She looked away and saw a dense crowd of people standing not far away.
Zhao Jun felt that he had arrived very early, but he didn't expect that there were already so many people waiting here.
"Good morning, sir."
"Have you eaten yet, sir?"
Seeing them coming, the crowd became a little agitated, and many people greeted Zhao Jun and asked her if she had had a good rest.
"I'm fine and have rested well. Has everyone else rested well?"
She shouted to the crowd and saw a few familiar men working on the terraced fields.
"I've had a good rest."
"I rested a long time ago. I even went to fetch water yesterday."
The crowd responded to her.
"Okay, now that everyone has rested, let's start dividing the land. I'll have County Magistrate Tan take a roll call to see if everyone is present."
Zhao Jun nodded to Tan Ben behind him, signaling him to start counting people.
Tan Ben got the message and started to count the names on the list he brought.
After a while, the inventory was completed and every household was present.
