OBS Chapter 301 Reclaiming Wasteland
Chapter 301 Reclaiming Wasteland
The children were very excited about the scenery on the mountain.
Tender green grass sprouts poked their heads out of the soil, and new buds appeared on the branches.
Feng Yuchen saw a butterfly and chased it happily, Zimo curiously studied the unknown little flowers on the roadside, and Qingxuan pointed at the bird's nest on the tree with shining eyes.
The cute little golden tiger behind was running around happily.
Feng Hanbai looked at them with a smile on his face.
Suddenly, Qingxuan accidentally fell to the ground. Feng Hanbai hurried forward to check and saw that he was fine. Little Qingxuan had already stood up.
"Uncle, it's okay."
Before Feng Hanbai could say anything, he started running after the two brothers in front of him.
Feng Hanbai only dared to stay on the periphery with the children. There was a small stream at the foot of the mountain. There was water again because of the melting snow. Feng Hanbai looked at the clear stream flowing, and looked into the distance with a smile on his face, hoping that everyone would have a good harvest this year.
The little guys were running around happily, and their laughter echoed in the mountains.
From time to time, you can see men from the village going into the mountains, and if they are lucky, they can even hunt some prey.
As the sun set, Feng Hanbai happily returned home with the children and the cute little tiger who were still reluctant to leave.
The village chief Tian Dazhuang gave them the wasteland at the foot of the mountain, and they would get as much as they could cultivate.
Mo County has a three-year tax exemption period for newly settled good citizens. Tian Dazhuang also knows that this group of people are capable, so he doesn't make things difficult for them. He just follows the rules and never makes things difficult for them.
Soon, everyone in the village saw the Feng family members all holding hoes and cultivating the land...
Feng Hansong worked for a long time and felt that he couldn't straighten his waist. He looked at Feng Hanyue next to him and said,
"This won't work. Professional matters should be left to professionals."
Feng Hanyue pondered for a moment, then continued,
"Hire people? How many?"
Many of Jun Linghan's subordinates came to help today. The eldest sister-in-law, the second sister-in-law and Aunt Zhao led everyone in cooking, and they took turns going back to eat at noon.
Feng Hansong said, "Wait, I'll go to Chief Tian's house and ask."
After saying that, he took a bag of osmanthus cake and went to the village chief's house.
Looking at the busy people, Feng Hanyue pulled Jun Linghan aside and said that she was going to pay the soldiers who came to help.
"Salary?"
Jun Linghan, "Here in the north, after the famine, food, medicinal herbs, and other supplies are still the main focus. Giving food is worse than giving wages. What do you think?"
Looking at the supplies in the space warehouse, Feng Hanyue nodded.
"That's fine, I'll go shopping then."
With three years of tax exemption, she has high-yield grain seeds, space and fertilizers, and she believes she will have a shocking harvest.
"But if we hire people and they all come to work, what's the standard for paying them? What if they cheat and act dishonestly?"
Jun Linghan raised his questions at the right time.
Feng Hanyue smiled and said, this is easy!
"The more work, the more pay! Let's set a minimum standard for media earnings, and give a reward to the top performer. Why don't you all work harder?"
Just like a worker, I thought of the SOP in the group before and smiled.
Big brother Feng Hansong is most familiar with this matter!
When Feng Hansong came back, Jun Linghan had already sent a message to Xie Wenxun to send a team of soldiers from the canyon to do the work!
Instead of giving others a bargain, it is better to give yourself a bargain!
Tian Dazhuang didn't expect that the Feng family had reclaimed the wasteland at the foot of the mountain in just a few days. It seemed that they were going to do something big.
Looking at the crowds of people gathering in Feng Hanyue's land, Feng Hanxing was furious.
Since the lockdown was lifted, Gu Shaoan said he was out on business and hasn't returned yet.
As for Gu Shaoze, he said he went to town, but he disappeared without a trace.
The family was in the process of reclaiming land, and none of the men were at home.
Little did they know that Gu Shaoan is now leading his men in a battle of wits and courage with Li Yong and Xie Wenxun's cousin!
Li Yong, who was in Yuecheng before, heard that there was a gold mine in Heifengzhai, so he rushed over without hesitation!
Gold mine!
Must get it!
What are you thinking!
As an excellent pioneer, I have come all the way here, and my parents and brothers have also come to the north. It can be said that I have no worries now, so why not work hard?
Seeing that he was about to become even richer and richer, how could he retreat?
After arranging the matters concerning the iron mine and rock salt in Yuecheng, he rushed to Heifengzhai without stopping!
Speaking of Black Wind Stronghold, as a famous bandit gang in Floating Cloud City, they originally lived a stable and wealthy life. The boss and his group of younger brothers lived a life of luxury, and all they had to do was to pay a fixed amount of "filial piety" to them every month.
I thought this was how my life would be!
Unexpectedly, a famine came and it didn't rain. They were lucky in the mountains because there were springs, wild vegetables and fruits, and the food, gold, silver and jewelry they had stored before, so they would not starve to death for a while.
The bad thing is that the demands for "filial piety" from the superiors are getting higher and higher, while passers-by are getting poorer and poorer, and sometimes they even encounter refugees and are robbed?
It’s good enough that they don’t rob in return!
They are not bandits who live on the edge of a knife. The comfortable life over the years has worn away their fighting spirit. They never expected that they would have to carry a sword and fight for their lives on the edge of a knife when they are old.
As time went by and food became scarce, different opinions began to emerge in the village. Some wanted to break the rules and directly increase the "toll" to collect the money as soon as possible; others believed that things should remain the same as before and they should just follow the rules!
The appetites of those above them grew bigger and bigger, and as they were unable to make ends meet, the two forces began to fight among themselves.
The conservative faction headed by the eldest boss and the adventurous faction headed by the second in command each held their own views, and gradually fighting broke out inside and outside the village.
If you encounter a boss who asks you to pay a toll, follow the previous rules.
If you encounter someone in second place who collects "tolls", then act according to the actual situation. If the "sheep" are fat, pluck more; if the "sheep" are thin, use supplies to replace them; if all else fails, kill the chicken to get the eggs!
Soon the road through Black Wind Village became unsafe...
The people in Fuyun City also know about this, but they don't care. They just want the "filial piety" to be delivered every month.
As the famine worsened, people occasionally exchanged their own children for food. The brothers in the village also had to survive, so more and more people turned to the second-in-command's camp.
Finally, on a moonlit night with few stars, civil strife broke out in Black Wind Village. The second in command led his men to wipe out the first in command's gang and became the head of the village. From then on, the second in command became the first in command.
Speaking of which, the second-in-command was also unlucky. Not long after he took over, he ran into Gu Shaoan's men. He had originally wanted to lead his brothers to become bigger and stronger, and envisioned a bright future, but in the end, the village was occupied without any warning, and his brothers were either slaughtered or fled...
From then on, Black Wind Village ceased to exist.
After Gu Shaoan's men occupied Heifeng Village, they took their men to search the surrounding area and killed any bandits or refugees with bad intentions they saw.
For a while, no one dared to approach Black Wind Village.
This also gave Jun Lingren's people an opportunity.
I originally thought that I would encounter some refugees, but unexpectedly, I provided them with convenience by accident.
Soon, Jun Linghan's men "stayed" near the Black Wind Village.
Since both groups were experts, they left no traces behind in their actions and quickly explored the entire mountain thoroughly.
The gold mine is located halfway up the mountain, three miles from Black Wind Village...
It has to be said that Gu Shaoan was lucky because his men found the gold mine; at the same time, he was unfortunate because they were targeted by Jun Linghan's men.
The mantis stalks the cicada, but the oriole follows behind!
That's exactly what I mean.
Gu Shaoan’s private guard VS Jun Linghan’s Netherworld!
They are all top-notch, and the brave one will win when they meet on a narrow road!
After Li Yong brought his men here, he felt that a hard fight would only result in losses for both sides. Now that the enemy is in the open and he is in the dark, it would be better to cut off their source of support.
After discussing it for a whole night, several people decided that they had to outsmart them!
Li Yong sent several agile men to sneak up on the Black Wind Village where Gu Shaoan and his men were.
He figured out the pattern of Gu Shaoan's private guards' shift changes and the location of the water source.
Taking advantage of the night, they sneaked in and put a colorless and odorless drug in the water source. This drug is not fatal, but it will make people weak for several hours.
The next night, Gu Shaoan's personal guards were all attacked and their bodies became weak and powerless.
Jun Linghan's Netherworld took advantage of the situation and attacked, thinking that he could easily capture him, but he didn't expect that several of Gu Shaoan's guards were not hit. Fortunately, the group's kung fu was not weak, and despite the siege of multiple people, they still managed to capture the man successfully.
"Who are you!"
Li Yong and others naturally wouldn't speak.
Once we take them down, there'll be plenty of time to talk, right?
After they were all captured and the poison hidden in their teeth was taken out one by one, Li Yong sneered at their angry eyes.
"I hope you're tough enough! Take all of you away and torture them severely."
"Yes!"
Soon the group was taken to the dungeon of Black Wind Village, where despair awaited them.
