0052 Enclosure

Since most of the land is rented, rent must be paid; and the land is not very fertile, so the villagers are in a state of not having enough to eat all year round. Under this situation, Uncle Qi also said that the village stall

I got a good Qianhu! It is said that this Qianhu is not as greedy as other Qianhu officials. At least the village is not hungry, although it is not full.

People in the village usually boil some salt and sell it to the salt lords in exchange for some pocket money. So Liu Pei raised the issue of why they didn't open up wasteland.

Uncle Qi smiled bitterly and explained to him that first of all, land reclamation requires money, which is not a small amount. Moreover, there is no income in the first one or two years of land reclamation. At most, the seeds can be recovered. When the raw land becomes mature land, the officials above will think

The way is taken away. So it is better to just maintain the status quo.

Moreover, there had been no recruitment in the health center for many years, and the young men in the village had nothing to do. At most, they boiled some salt and sold it. In this way, Liu Pei gradually learned about the situation in the entire mountain village. What made Liu Pei most happy

It is so many young people in the village who are most useful to him!

Later, they also talked about building a house for Liu Pei. Uncle Wu suggested that Liu Pei renovate his house directly for Liu Pei to live in. This would save money and effort, as long as the villagers would lend a hand. But how could Liu Pei agree? He

He also needs to protect his space-time gate. It is his source of wealth and his last resort!

Finally, Liu Pei said directly: "To be honest, you can see that I am a spoiled person. I really can't live in an ordinary house. I plan to build a new house behind the village facing the seaside."

Uncle Qi said displeased: "You kid, why don't you have a plan for your life! How much will it cost me to build a new house? You are alone now, why are you wasting so much money?"

Liu Pei lowered his head and said: "The back of the village faces the seaside. If people from my hometown come, they will definitely come to my house to ask. Maybe the people who destroyed Hu Island will come in the future. I will build a bigger house first, and then

Then they will have a place to live. Besides, I am very rich now. When I left the ship, the captain divided all the money on the ship among us." After hearing this, Uncle Qi shook his head and sighed and stopped talking.

I acquiesced to Liu Pei's words.

Early the next morning, Liu Pei came to Wu's house and checked on Wu's family.

Yizhou found that the redness and swelling of the wound had completely subsided and nothing was flowing out of the drainage tube. He pulled out the drainage tube and said to Uncle Wu: "Okay, Uncle Wu, you can rest assured! I

Leave him with medicine for another two days. The injury on his leg will be healed in seven days."

Uncle Wu laughed happily after hearing this. No wonder he laughed. He is already several decades old, and he has naturally seen the consequences of similar injuries. He is either dead or disabled! It is a miracle that his son's wound can be healed! Wu

The uncle said: "That's great! Thank you! But what should I do with the thread on his leg?"

Liu Pei smiled and said: "The thread is made of sheep intestines and can be directly absorbed by the human body. After seven days, you only need to pull it and the thread will naturally fall off." This surprised the three people of the Wu family.

.But this is not as happy as the fact that my son’s illness is cured! The family happily arranged for Liu Pei to have breakfast.

After breakfast, Liu Pei went to Uncle Qi to arrange the construction of a house. Uncle Qi said he would wait until he came back. He also asked Liu Pei if he had any money. Liu Pei gave him a small ingot weighing five taels.

Uncle Qi took the ingot and asked, "Don't you have any scattered silver on you?"

Liu Pei said: "No. When I escaped from the island, all I got in a hurry was this kind of money."

Uncle Qi sighed, picked up an ax, smashed the silver ingots into pancakes, and broke them open with the axe. He took out a piece weighing about two taels and said, "This piece is about two taels of silver. It's for the Qianhu official. I can give it to you."

Register. If there are too many, don't use them, lest he get greedy!" Then Liu Pei was asked to walk around the village by himself to get familiar with it.

Liu Pei thought that Wu Yizhou's leg was injured and the family was short of a strong laborer, so he went to Wu's family to help. However, although he was from a farmer's family, he had never done any field work. As a result, he could not help, but he could not help.

Less chaos! But at least there is no joke like removing the seedlings and leaving the grass behind.

Later, Liu Pei found that he really had nothing to do, so he went to the grove behind the village to survey the terrain. In the past, he had always appeared and returned here at night, and had never carefully observed this grove. It was only after he came here that he discovered

The terrain here is still very flat, which is very suitable for building houses.

So he smoked

I took out a piece of paper and drew a sketch. When I asked to build a big yard, I built a big one. The sketch turned out to be seven or eight times the size of an ordinary house. There were two houses with two sides and three rows in the yard, and a huge

Utility room. The location of that utility room is the location of the space-time door.

In the evening, Uncle Qi came back leisurely. He said to Liu Pei: "Your household registration has been settled. It has landed in our village. Now you don't have to worry!"

Liu Pei quickly thanked Uncle Qi for his help and showed him the sketch he drew. When Uncle Qi saw the sketch, he said angrily: "How big a yard are you going to build? Do you know how much it will cost? I'm afraid

It will cost fifty or sixty taels of silver!"

Liu Pei whispered: "Uncle Wu, there is nothing I can do! One is to make it easier for my family to find me. Secondly, when I got off the ship, the captain gave me more than 100 taels of silver. I am also afraid that my wealth will be exposed.

It will cause trouble for nothing! Why not just use it to build houses. Then it will be said to the outside world that all the money I brought with me has been used to build houses, and I will be clean."

Uncle Wu thought for a while and said: "This is a way. The world is always not peaceful. Good people are sad! I will help you arrange to build a house tomorrow. By the way, I will help you spread the word that all your money has been used to build a house.

!You have to keep the extra money, you know?"

Liu Pei nodded in agreement. During dinner in the evening, Liu Pei drank porridge with Uncle Qi's family. By the way, he said to Qi Qitao, the young man who helped him get the first aid kit: "Brother Qi, I have some money here. You can do it tomorrow."

I took a few brothers to help me buy food and come back. It will take me a while to build a house, so I have to ask everyone to eat well so that they can have the strength to work."

Seeing that his father didn't respond, Qi Qitao agreed. The next morning, Liu Pei quietly told Qi Qitao what he wanted to buy, which made Qi Qitao's eyes go straight! He didn't take it until Liu Pei confirmed it repeatedly.

Yinzi led the people and set off.

Then Liu Pei and Uncle Qi came to the center of the village. Uncle Qi banged the gong a few times, and people in the village gathered. Uncle Qi told everyone in public that Liu Pei was going to build a house, and also showed the money that Liu Pei had given him.
