Fu Lai Village is located on the east side of the sea and is backed by mountains on the north side. Four-fifths of the fields near Fu Lai Village in the south are sandy fields.
Many of the original villagers have relocated to the vicinity of the county seat. Now, there are 85 people left in Fulai Village. Besides the 50 who have retreated from the battlefield, there are 35 original residents from five families.
Those who retreated from the battlefield all lived in this row of houses at the entrance of the village, and they all cooked and ate together.
The other five households are scattered at the entrance and in the middle of the village. Most of them are honest and hardworking and are unwilling to move away.
Fulai Village is vast and sparsely populated, with mostly sandy fields. They are nearly a hundred miles from the coast, and are classified as Fulai Village and a small fishing village. However, it is all sandy land, estimated to be tens of thousands of acres, and in short, it is barren and no one is reclaiming it.
The small fishing villages in the east are equivalent to fishing villages. They are very close to the sea and most of them make a living by fishing.
According to the county government, they would count the number of people in each household and distribute land based on the number of people, with less fertile land and more sandy land. Homesteads had to be purchased with money.
They can now buy the place they live in after cleaning it, and they can also rebuild a house if the place is not suitable.
If you want to build a house, you can go to the north mountain to get yellow mud and make adobe bricks. If you have money, you can go to the town to buy tiles. If you don't have money, you can go to the mountain to cut straw and build a thatched house.
The location of Fulai Village is not bad and not very remote. Twenty miles to the northwest is Changle County. There is a road there, which is the road they walked on today.
Ten miles southwest, there's a small town called Yukou. You can buy anything you need there, or you can go further to the county seat.
It's about twenty miles from the small town to the county town, so those who go to the county town will start directly from the village which is closer.
You can buy farmland, but with so many households, if all the farmland is divided up, there will probably only be some sandy fields left. Who would bother buying sandy fields? It would be a waste of money and energy.
These retired soldiers, apart from planting rice on ten acres of fertile land, also went hunting in the north. They could make a living with the pensions given to them by the court and the help of the old general.
It was getting late, so everyone said goodbye.
I agreed to discuss this with the villagers and will give the village chief a reply tomorrow morning.
Village Chief Lin also said they should settle down first and then distribute the land according to household registration after the Lunar New Year. It's winter now and we can't farm. We should first get a good place to live and wait until the Lunar New Year is over. The weather is getting colder.
