Chapter 166 With You
On the other side, Sheng Ze "accidentally" came to Shen Qingqian's side and helped to transport the turned-over sand to the creek and piled it up.
Shen Qingqian didn't want to take advantage of others, so she insisted on carrying the sand and soil with a small dustpan, but Cheng San followed her all the time and used a wide wooden board to carry the sand and soil.
Neither of them spoke. After running two times, Shen Qingqian saw that there were many people helping, so he slowed down and asked casually, "Brother Cheng, where are you planning to open your land?"
"With you guys." Sheng Ze said without thinking, and almost said "with you".
Shen Qingqian said "Oh", then put one hand between his eyebrows and looked out of the valley, muttering to himself: "I wonder if we can open up wasteland outside the valley. At least there is a stream here for irrigation."
In fact, she had thought about this matter in the past two days. It would be most appropriate to choose a location outside the valley for her own wasteland. Firstly, it was close and convenient for work. Secondly, there was a stream passing through here. Unless there was a severe drought, irrigation would not be a problem.
Moreover, even in the dry season, she can secretly hide the sacred spring in the stream, which will definitely ensure the growth of crops in this area.
But the land outside the valley is worse than that inside the valley. If you don’t use some tricks after it is cultivated, it will be difficult to guarantee the harvest of crops.
But she was not in a hurry, because she had not yet taken out the little soil-turning expert given by the system.
Sheng Ze also looked outside the valley, and after a long moment of contemplation, he said, "Why not find another place? If the area outside the valley was suitable for cultivation, we wouldn't be here until now."
The Jin Dynasty was established for more than two hundred years, and it is impossible to know how many exiles there were during this period, but there must be a reason why no one chose to cultivate land outside the valley for so many years.
In Shengze's mind, it was the court who made things difficult for Shen Qingqian and the others by arranging them to come to this valley to open up wasteland.
Looking at the cleared land, they had dug a foot deep, and all they saw was sand, rough sand mixed with many small stones.
"Of course I know, but" she just doesn't want to see her family working too hard!
Shen Qingqian was too lazy to think about it anymore. After letting out a breath, she smiled and said to Sheng Ze, "How about this, if the land in the valley is cultivated and can be used to grow crops, I will ask my eldest brother to go and get the ten acres of land outside the valley and continue to cultivate it."
"What if the land in the valley cannot be used to grow crops?" Sheng Ze asked curiously.
Shen Qingqian curled her lips and smiled, "Then we can't open up our land outside the valley. But if we don't grow crops in the valley, we can grow other things. At least it won't be abandoned again."
She has so many books in her hands. If she studies them carefully, she will always find a suitable solution.
After all, it is a land that has been reclaimed with great effort. Even if we can't grow crops, we can still try growing fruits or something.
"Yeah." Sheng Ze nodded slightly without saying much.
He didn't know much about farming, and what he was doing now was just following what others did. And what he said just now about reclaiming land for his own family was just following Shen Qingqian's words.
Because, after the New Year, when he was sure that she had survived the ordeal of turning fourteen, he would part ways with them.
Since it was Chief Lu who spoke personally, Wang Tao did not dare to play any tricks and reluctantly reported to the mine early in the morning.
The people who had originally followed him to open up the wasteland saw that the Shen family and other families were working hard, so they started a discussion.
"Or, let's do it together with the Shen family."
“Can people agree?”
"No matter whether he agrees or not, it's better to give it a try."
"Yes, let's try it first. Let's go and find the second kid from the Shen family."
