Sweet Dreams in Famine Years: The System Leads to a Brilliant Life

"In reply to your Highness, the matter has been thoroughly investigated. The refusal to accept refugees was an order issued by Lingzhou City Governor Zhou Zide."

King Liang frowned coldly, "You are so good, Zhou Zide. I just gave the order and he disobeyed it right after I gave it."

King Liang really didn't expect that Zhou Zide would be so bold.

"Come here, send someone to Lingzhou City immediately and bring Zhou Zide back to me." King Liang ordered loudly to the outside.

After a while, a few people came in from outside, paid their respects to King Liang, and then left.

"Wait." Xiao Ruicheng stopped him at this time.

King Liang looked at him puzzled and asked, "Cheng'er, why are you doing this?"

King Liang thought that Xiao Ruicheng was going to beg for mercy on behalf of Zhou Zide, the prefect of Lingzhou City.

"Father, how about letting your son handle this matter?" Xiao Ruicheng said slowly.

King Liang was obviously stunned. He didn't expect that his son Xiao Ruicheng cared about him so much. He had just recovered and was thinking about helping him solve his problems.

Prince Liang's eyes were moist with emotion, and his tone was choked when he looked at Xiao Ruicheng.

"Cheng'er, I know you are worried about me, your father, but you don't have to be so anxious. You just woke up, so you should take care of your body first. If you need anything, I can ask these secret guards to do it."

Seeing Prince Liang so moved, Xiao Ruicheng was actually a little embarrassed to correct him.

The reason why he wanted to do this was not because he was worried about King Liang. He just wanted to use the opportunity of dealing with the refugees as an opportunity to find the people in Zhangguanbao.

Seeing that Prince Liang was endlessly moved, Xiao Ruicheng had to speak up.

"Father, I'm fine now. You don't have to worry about me."

Finally, under Xiao Ruicheng's insistence, King Liang had to agree to let Xiao Ruicheng handle the matter.

However, when Xiao Ruicheng was about to leave, Prince Liang still gave him many instructions for a long time, and finally sent Xiao Ruicheng out of Prince Liang's mansion reluctantly.

On the other side, Zeng Zhengen, with the help of the villagers, built the house in just seven or eight days.

After the house was built, it was left to air out for several days before Zeng Zhengen moved all his things into the new house.

The house built by Yang Yueyue was quite spacious, with four rooms in total, just enough for her and her three kids to have one room each.

Because the Zeng family's house was still under construction, Zeng Zheng asked Zeng's father and mother to temporarily move into their newly built house.

After all, living in a tent is not as comfortable as living in a house!

It took half a month before all the villagers had built their houses.

Because the villagers dug the soil and built the houses themselves, it didn't cost them too much money to build a house. Even Chen Yucai, who they met on the way, built two houses.

After building the house, it is time to reclaim the wasteland.

That day, Pan Yang came to the home of Village Chief Chen in Fulai Village again and told him about the land reclamation.

"As for reclaiming wasteland, you can reclaim the entire piece of land at the foot of Lantau Island. Just wait for you to reclaim it, and then I will measure it and report it to the government." Village Chief Chen explained.

After listening to what Village Chief Chen said, Pan Yang was silent for a while before speaking again.

"Village Chief Chen, what we mean is, is there any good farmland in this village? We all want to buy some good farmland and plant some crops."

After all, they were fleeing famine, and each household had little food. If they reclaimed the wasteland first and then planted crops, it would definitely be too late.

So the best way is to buy some good land first, and then plant some crops, so that everyone can get some food to last until the beginning of next spring.

After spring, the wild vegetables in the mountains will grow. If everyone works harder and brings back more mountain products, they will be able to last until next year's summer harvest.

This was Pan Yang's plan, but Village Chief Chen gave him a heavy blow.

"There is definitely no good farmland in this village, so you have to reclaim the wasteland and plant crops on it."

When Pan Yang heard this, his face became even more worried.

It will take at least a month to reclaim the wasteland. It is already autumn now. In another month, it will be winter. What kind of food can be grown in winter?

In the end, Pan Yang came out of Village Chief Chen's house with a lost look on his face.

When the villagers of Dapo Village saw Pan Yang coming back, they all gathered around him and started asking questions.

"Village Chief, how is it? Has the village chief Chen of Fulai Village agreed to sell us some good farmland?"

Zeng Zhengen also looked towards Pan Yang, waiting for Pan Yang's answer.

Zeng Zhengen didn't really want to go and reclaim wasteland. She was the only woman in her family with three children. Even if she did, she wouldn't be able to get much land. It would be better for her to buy some good farmland from the village.

Zeng Zhengen didn't plan to buy a lot. One or two acres would be enough. After all, she didn't plan to rely on farming for a living in the future.

Zeng Zhengen planned to get some land first, and then go to the city in the spring of next year to see if she could start a small business to make money.

After all, she has three little kids to raise! And she plans to send them to school next year.

Knowledge can change your destiny, and this applies at all times.

Pan Yang looked at so many pairs of expectant eyes and for a moment he didn't know how to say the words that were on his lips.

When Zeng Zhengen saw Pan Yang's expression, he more or less guessed the result.

"Uncle Pan, if something went wrong, you might as well just tell me directly." Zeng Zhengzi said directly to Pan Yang.

Pan Yang sighed helplessly and said, "Village Chief Chen said that there is no vacant good farmland in the village. If we want to grow crops, we have to rely on ourselves to reclaim wasteland."

When the villagers heard this, they began to shake their heads and sigh.

Zeng Zhengen was also somewhat disappointed. It seemed that he had no choice but to reclaim the land.

"In that case, let's start reclaiming the land tomorrow!" Zeng Zhengen said.

No one said anything about Zeng Zhengen's proposal. They all lowered their heads and remained silent.

Seeing that everyone was like this, Zeng Zhengen continued to encourage them.

"Okay, don't be so depressed. We are now settled down and don't have to flee from famine anymore. This is a good thing. As for the food for the winter, I believe we can find a way to solve it."

Zeng Zhengen's words instantly encouraged everyone.

Yes! They are much better off now than before, at least they are no longer homeless like before.

As for food, they were not hungry when they were fleeing famine, so they couldn't be trapped by food here again!

At worst, they can go to Lantau Island behind and hunt some prey like they did when they fled the famine before!
