The eldest fishing brother Yahuazi laughed, "Oh, that's a good relationship. From now on we are from the same village. I see that you guys look unusual. Are you scholars? There are really powerful people in our village."

Lin Shucheng: "Oh, yes, my son has studied."

The two of them talked about the north and south that day. From now on, they could teach his grandson how to read and what to eat and wear in the north. What was the situation outside?

I also inquired about the situation in the village, including where to fish and where to rely on boats.

While they were chatting, the son of the fishing eldest brother, a young man in his twenties, pulled his father away and said in the local dialect: "Oh dad, why are you talking to them? Oh, that day While you are away, the village chief has said that we cannot talk to outsiders in the future, especially those who will move here in the future."

As he said that, the young man looked around and saw that no one was there. He breathed a sigh of relief and quickly pulled his father away.

Lin Shucheng knew that some people in every village would be xenophobic to some extent, but the villagers would not go too far. At most, they would not interact with your family. There were also some who were kind-hearted and enthusiastic, like the elder brother who was fishing just now. He looked at the two of them. Like a scholar, he can also take the initiative to show kindness.

But I've never seen this kind of hostility openly displayed, without even pretending?

Lin Shucheng and his son looked at each other: "Is the village chief out of his mind, or have we come here to take advantage of him?"

Lin Xueqing thought for a while and said: "I guess it's both. It's just that we can take advantage of him if we enter the village. Can we catch all the fish in such a large sea?"

The two of them stopped wondering about the strange brain circuits of ancient people and went straight into the village. They didn't even think about the wastelands and woods.

In their opinion, those are the least valuable things.

The houses in the village are very simple. There are strings of dried fish drying in front of every house, and every fisherman is wearing patched and ragged clothes.

You said you are so poor and you still worry about others caring about your things. Isn’t that nonsense?

Lin Shucheng walked to a slightly more luxurious house. This house had a yard and was a brick house. It looked out of place in the village.

The door to the courtyard was open, so Lin Shucheng knocked on the door. The man who was sweeping the floor in the courtyard looked over with a sullen expression: "Who are you? What are you doing at my house?"

Their attitudes were not very good, but Lin Shucheng showed a smile. After all, he didn't want to hit the smiling person.

"I'm here to see the village chief. We'll come from the north in a while and have already settled here."

The man in the yard cursed: "You're from the north? There's something wrong with you. What are you doing in our village? Our land isn't enough, and we have to share it with others. It's unlucky to get up early in the morning."

This person spoke a dialect and thought they couldn't understand him, so he scolded them harshly, but Lin Shucheng could understand Cantonese.

Lin Shucheng was quite speechless and blamed them for occupying those wastelands.

Why do you think wasteland is called wasteland? It was not because it was difficult to grow crops that it was abandoned. I had never seen people from Yunhe Village growing crops before, but now I blamed them for coming to allocate the land.

A short old man with gray hair came out of the room with a stooped body and a not-so-good expression on his face.

Here is the head of Yunhe Village, Chen Dawei.

Lin Shucheng also stopped smiling: "Where is the land allocated to us?"

Chen Dawei looked him up and down with great disdain, and said in poor mandarin: "On that piece of land, the hilltop you are allocated is on the other side of the river. From the river to the south, there are twenty acres of wasteland allocated to you, plus the access to the house. There are twenty-five acres of land in total, and I will go and circle the land for them."

Chen Dawei and his son Chen Fuxi went to take the villagers to measure the land for them.

Chen Dawei turned around and was about to go back to the house. He paused as if remembering something and stopped Lin Shucheng and the others who were about to leave: "If you want to cut down trees to build a house, go to the hilltop on the other side of the river and don't touch anything in the village. If you must It’s okay to cut down trees in the village. You’ll have to pay one or two silver to cut down a tree.”

Lin Shucheng didn't expect this old man to be so sinister. There was no bridge on the river, and they didn't have a boat. They couldn't go to the forest they were allocated on the other side of the river to cut down trees. If they wanted to cut down the trees in the village, they had to charge a sky-high price. This old man was really nothing.

Lin Shucheng was not a broad-minded person. Seeing that the old man was really shameless, he said: "In this case, we will not offend the rivers from now on, and you should not come to our village. If you go to the wrong place, we will accidentally hurt you." Yes, I hope you can bear with me more."

Chen Dawei sneered: "Okay, the water in the well does not interfere with the water in the river. Don't ask us to do so in the future."

Lin Shucheng was too lazy to pay attention to the old man, so he turned around and left.

Saying that you can't offend people, at least not too ugly on the face, is all for smart people to see. A dead pig like this is not afraid of boiling water, and there is no need to give a good look to a shameless old man.

As soon as Lin Shucheng and the others left, Chen Dawei cursed: "What the hell? How dare you talk to me like that!"

Lin Shucheng heard Chen Dawei's curse. He said, "What dog keeps barking?" and left without looking back.

Chen Dawei was furious.

Lin Shucheng began to worry. The land they were allocated was bare. Most of it was a beach, and it was all covered with sand and gravel. They didn't know if they could grow anything.

Lin Shucheng has a headache.

When he got back, he told his daughter and the villagers what had happened.

Upon hearing this, everyone was a little panicked.

"Hey, how can this be done? The village chief just ignores us and doesn't give us twenty acres of land?"

"This offends the village chief. Will we still have a good life in this village from now on?"

Seeing everyone like this, Lin Jinyue said: "It doesn't matter, it's not a big deal. The people in our village work together and become a rope. No matter what they do, we will do some business first. If the people in Yunhe Village can't do it, we will Go to a nearby village to buy land.”

From Lin Jinyue's point of view, this is really not a big deal. How can a person from a village stir up any trouble?

Even if they have a backing and the people in Linjia Village have done great work in controlling the plague, those officials would not dare to attack them at will. After all, they have to be cautious.

You have to go back and let the system test whether the allocated wasteland is suitable for growing things. If it is not suitable for growing things, you have to find another way out.

Seeing Lin Jinyue being so calm, everyone felt relieved.

Also, they have never encountered any difficulties along the way, how can they be afraid of a few villagers?

Lin Shucheng had already explored the route. When he walked to the side of the boat, he directed the captain to drive to a place where the boat could be parked. It was a coincidence that it happened to be at the place they were allocated, so they didn't have to meet the villagers. Build a port here.

They came down with carriages and carriages, and it looked very spectacular.

There were almost ten carts and two horse-drawn carriages.

Especially the carriage belonging to Tan Xue's family is really gorgeous. If you don't know better, you might think they are a wealthy family.
