Chapter 406 Autumn Wind Sweeping Leaves
In Zhengjing Village, the sky was just beginning to brighten.
When more and more people have successfully reclaimed a piece of land, the sunlight will shade each other, giving people an illusion that this is not a new land.
Of course, the sunlight in the new land is not as dazzling as the sunlight in the main land. The sunlight from various plots of land interweaves and is not much different from the dawn in the main land.
How many plots of land have been successfully reclaimed near Zhengjing Village?
This matter needs to be carefully counted.
Li Banfeng led the pioneers to a forest, more than five miles away from Zhengjing Village. Many houses and a restaurant could be seen here.
Some hunters came to Zhengjing Village for the first time. They were very curious about where the ingredients would come from for a restaurant here.
There is not much to eat on the new land. In the past, most of the food in Zhengjing Village came from oranges in the orange orchard, fish in the lake, and some edible wild animals.
But the situation is different now. Many farmers have successfully reclaimed the surrounding land, grown a lot of food, and raised a lot of livestock.
As the food supply became stable, more people temporarily lived nearby. Some came to open up new land, hunt, escape disasters, practice Buddhism, and shoot movies. Their houses expanded from the village to outside the village.
These two people are Shui Yongquan and Qiu Luoye.
The fat old man pushed the chess piece and said, "What does it matter if I move or not? I don't know how to play chess. People are here, why am I still pretending?"
Qiu Luoye couldn't understand it either: "What are you saying? Lao Shui, what's wrong with you? Did you drink some wine in the morning and are you confused?"
Why would Shui Yongquan have this attitude?
Don’t local gods all look forward to reclaiming wasteland?
One is thin and petite, the other is big and fat.
Qiu Luoye frowned: "What do you mean? Lao Shui, you still want to raise the price? Lao Qi brought so many people today, why don't you help?"
Shui Yongquan built a wooden house on his own land and usually disguised himself as a hunter, chatting with people around him.
Seeing Li Banfeng, Qiu Luoye came forward and called Li Banfeng aside: "Seventh Brother, you brought so many people this time, do you need our help?"
After entering the wooden house, Shui Yongquan poured tea for the two of them. Qiu Daxiang pushed the cup aside, looked at Shui Yongquan and said, "We knew that Lao Qi was coming today, so we agreed to come out together to pick him up.
If I had known you had other thoughts, I would not have come out with you. I would have directly brought Old Seven to my territory."
Shui Yongquan stood nearby with a smile on his face, but didn't say anything.
Shui Yongquan frowned and said, "Qiu Daxiang, what you said is a little off the mark."
Li Banfeng nodded and said, "It's true. People like Duan Wuchou and Liang Wucai have done a lot for me. I want to keep them by my side forever."
Shui Yongquan smiled and said, "Don't worry, let's find a place to talk."
"Brother Qiu, I'm not borrowing them. I'm asking you for them, and I want their deeds as well."
"Okay, I'll give it to you. But they are from the new land after all, so you still have to discuss it with Lao Shui and use more techniques to cover them."
Shui Yongquan shook his head and said, "Look at what you said. I'm willing to help you, but can you hold off on the land reclamation?"
The thin old man said, "Are you going to move or not? You have been watching this move for half an hour."
As soon as these words were spoken, Li Banfeng was stunned.
When they arrived near Zhengjing Village, Li Banfeng saw two old men sitting under a big tree at the entrance of the village, playing chess.
Qiu Luoye smiled cheerfully: "I don't care about it, just keep it! Ma Wu borrowed Aqin and Huoling from me, when did I ever ask him for them?"
"What do you mean by "difference"? What do you mean?" Qiu Luoye was really angry. "Have you climbed up the social ladder? Are you looking for someone else to partner with? Do you look down on me, or do you look down on Lao Qi?
It doesn't matter if you look down on us, we won't take advantage of you, Lao Qi, I will give you all the men you mentioned, I will find someone to help you hide their identities, I also have good men here, I will bring them all over later, you can pick whatever you want! I, Qiu Luoye, do things with a clear conscience!"
Shui Yongquan waved his hand and said, "Old Qiu, this is not a matter of conscience!"
"What else could this be?" Qiu Luoye pounded the table and said, "In the beginning, no one came to our shabby place to open up wasteland. How many people did Lao Qi bring to us? Now that you have climbed up the ladder, you are dumping them. Do you want to eat your conscience away?"
Shui Yongquan sighed and said, "To tell you the truth, in my territory, there are 10,900 pieces of land for one mile, and 900 of them were given to me by Qiu Luoye."
Qiu Luoye waved his hand and said, "Don't tell me this, I don't understand!"
"I didn't ask you to count, I have already counted it for you," Shui Yongquan took out the account book, "In my territory, a total of more than 2,700 plots of land have been opened up, and in your territory, more than 2,500 plots of land have been opened up!"
Qiu Luoye's face was heavy and his eyes were cold as he asked, "Could it be that the new land I have opened up is less than yours?"
Shui Yongquan said helplessly: "Do I need to say this? Don't you know how to count?"
Qiu Luoye lowered his voice and asked Li Banfeng: "Am I right? It's less than him, right?"
Li Banfeng nodded affirmatively.
Shui Yongquan said, "What I meant by this is that nearly 30% of our two families' land has been opened up. If we continue like this, Neizhou will notice us."
Qiu Luoye snorted and said, "Just pay attention, what are you afraid of? We are reclaiming the land according to the rules, how can they interfere?"
"I didn't break the rules, but our situation is special. We are in deep ground, not shallow ground. I'm afraid Neizhou will do something weird to us!"
Li Banfeng was stunned for a long time.
What is deep earth and what is shallow earth?
The concept is easy to understand.
Shui Yongquan explained: "The so-called depth refers to the distance from the main ground. The new land close to the main ground is called shallow land. The land between me and Qiu Luoye is far away from the main ground, and there are several new lands in between, so it is called deep land.
Logically speaking, the closer to the land, the easier it is to transport food, so the shallower the land, the more people will open up the land.
Lao Qi, ask around along the way, which local lord has opened up 30% of his land? How much of the land next to Green Water Bay has been opened up? As far as I know, less than 20%!
Now that we two brothers have opened up 30% of the territory we have penetrated, how could Neizhou not know about such an eye-catching thing? If they knew, would they not cause trouble for us?"
Li Banfeng was very curious: "How can they cause trouble?"
"It's hard to say," Shui Yongquan shook his head. "They might send people to cause trouble, or they might destroy our contract."
Li Banfeng was even more confused: "You said that Neizhou sent people to cause trouble. Can people from Neizhou come to Pro Province casually?"
"That's not possible," Shui Yongquan smacked his lips, "but they must have other ways. I haven't found out what they are yet."
Li Banfeng asked again: "You said they could destroy your deed. Your deed is buried on your land. How could they destroy it?"
Shui Yongquan said: "Little brother, you have never seen the contract, you only know one side of the story, but not the other!"
Who said they have never seen a deed?
I've seen two!
Of course, this cannot be said.
Shui Yongquan took out a pen and paper and drew an arch: "This is what the deed looks like. It is proof that the local god owns the land. All the big and small things that happen on the land are recorded in the deed.
When I defeated Qiu Luoye, Qiu Luoye gave me thirty miles of land. This event is recorded. If you don't believe me, let's dig out Qiu Daxiang's deed and have a look. It's written clearly, stroke by stroke!"
Qiu Luoye spat and said, "Bah! Why don't you dig out your deed and have a look?"
Shui Yongquan went on to say: "Not only is there a record of the cession of land, but also of the reclamation of wasteland. Everything is clearly written down piece by piece."
Li Banfeng remained calm, he thought Shui Yongquan was talking nonsense.
He had seen two deeds, and neither of the deeds of Bashanzhu and Bei Wushuang had any records of land reclamation.
etc.
Is there anyone reclaiming those two areas?
That place is much more remote than the areas of gushing springs and falling autumn leaves.
There had never been a pioneer in the territory of Bashanzhu before. Youtao, He Yuxiu and Zhang Wanlong successfully reclaimed the land one after another. At that time, the local god had become Li Furong.
There is probably no successfully reclaimed land in Bei Wushuang's territory, so Li Banfeng has never seen any records of it.
In this case, what Shui Yongquan said should be true.
"Are you worried that if too much wasteland is opened up, it will attract the attention of the state?"
Shui Yongquan said: "There are a bunch of deeds here, and the people in Neizhou are definitely too lazy to read them. Suddenly, a deed has a large piece of text added to it, and those people in Neizhou will definitely have to take a look."
Li Banfeng didn't understand again: "Where are the deeds?"
"They are hung in rows in Neizhou," Shui Yongquan drew another arch, "The deed is divided into two halves. We have one half, and Neizhou has the other half. The two halves together form a circle. If Neizhou destroys their half, it's hard to say what will happen to our half."
This time Li Banfeng understood.
My wife once said that the words on the deed can be seen in Neizhou. It turned out that it was because the deed was divided into two and both sides changed synchronously.
Hanging them in rows, if there are major changes, they are indeed easy to see at a glance.
My wife changed the Mountain Master into Li Furong. This change is not too big and should not attract the attention of Neizhou.
Probably not.
Li Banfeng felt a little uneasy, and suddenly he heard Qiu Luoye say, "Let's not talk about the ring for now."
The fallen autumn leaves seem a little scared.
Is he afraid sometimes?
Qiu Luoye looked at Shui Yongquan and said, "Lao Shui, what are you going to do?"
Shui Yongquan said: "There are quite a few people in our two territories. I roughly counted them. There are more than a thousand people coming and going. These are all the popularity.
With popularity, we can accumulate cultivation, so why rush it?"
Qiu Luoye couldn't figure out the numbers, but he knew that more than a thousand people were definitely not enough: "How long will it take to accumulate cultivation with just these thousand people? At the rate you're going, when will we be able to reach the third level?"
"Why are you in such a hurry?" Shui Yongquan said patiently, "We have five times the lifespan of an ordinary person, so we can take our time."
The second floor of the cloud has five times the lifespan. This is the first time Li Banfeng has heard of this concept.
But this is not the key point now. The key point is that Shui Yongquan does not want to continue to open up the wasteland.
Qiu Luoye was silent for a long time and then walked out of the wooden house.
Amid the heavy footsteps, the dead leaves remaining on the trees fell one after another.
He turned around and said to Li Banfeng, "Seventh Brother, bring your people to my territory and prepare to open up the wasteland. After the work is done, you can choose any of my men."
Shui Yongquan frowned and said, "Qiu Daxiang, did you hear what I just said?"
"No, I didn't hear a word of it," Qiu Luoye answered very frankly, "Lao Shui, if you want to wait, just wait. You can wait any time.
I won't wait. Lao Qi is a noble man. God is good to me and let me meet a noble man. I have to live up to God. I will do this to the end! "Recently, the transcoding is serious. Let us have more motivation and update faster. Please move your little hands to exit the reading mode. Thank you
