Chapter 50 Transition Day (Updated)

What Lao Liu is responsible for taking care of is a wheat field. It is a really good field, with green seedlings growing on the dark soil. This is the first time he has seen wheat seedlings growing so happily in this land for so long. The climate is also suitable for growth. .

Just thinking about it, the golden color of the plump ears of wheat appeared in his mind.

The food harvest does not belong to them, and they do not own their own land. These lands belong to the lord. They only come to help the lord cultivate the fields, but the lord can provide food for all of them, and the food is better than before they fled. So much that you can eat a piece of real meat every two days.

Before that, the villagers like them couldn't eat a piece of meat for a month, and it was great to have meat on weekdays.

The lord treats them well, and he is willing to work hard.

One-third of an acre of land, the labor was not heavy, they could finish it in half a day, and the Lord did not have any requirements for them during their free time.

He also wants a good piece of land of his own, where he can be secure.

As soon as they left the fields, the others had already put away their simple wooden farm tools and went home. The territory only had wooden farm tools. And he heard that three more blacksmith shops were built in the territory. Will the lord provide them with iron? The quality of the farm tools makes farming very convenient.

He can take care of many acres of land by himself.

Walking in the field, Lao Liu shook his head and put his farm tools in a special house. It should have been a residence, but it was later converted into a warehouse for storing farm tools.

A large group of people gathered in front of the town center. People wearing the same coarse clothes as they did. He knew that they were called clerks, and they called themselves that. He was reading out the decree. Every time there was news, the clerks would stand there. It was read out in the first half of the day, and I didn’t know if they would be tired if they stood for so long.

Lao Liu, who was far away from the large crowd, couldn't hear his voice clearly at all, so he could only find a random person standing and ask.

"The masters above said that if you want to learn to write, go to the front. They said to do arithmetic, the one in the front can do it."

The villager who just came out of the team said to him.

Although the territory has set up an announcement list, because the literacy rate in the territory is too low, all news notifications rely on a few affairs officers to go to the high platform in front of the town center to read out. Although some of these territorial residents cannot even write their own names, their normal communication is No problem.

Then rely on word of mouth among these villagers.

"oh."

Lao Liu nodded.

This is why they gathered in front. Literacy is the right of wealthy people, and their families can't even pay for schooling.

If only arithmetic tests were conducted, those with the best rankings would be able to learn literacy, which made Lao Liu feel good.

There are no activities or entertainment facilities in the territory at night. If anything happens, a large number of people can gather.

This was something Ji Lin had not considered. There was a lack of entertainment activities in the territory, and there was no private space, so everyone fell asleep.

He went all out to develop production and did not think carefully about many things.

A group of children were led by the soldier. He shouted loudly for the crowd to make way for them to let the children take the test first. These children all came with the new people. Lao Liu was there on the day they arrived. He watched the team stretched into a long line under the escort of gray-clothed soldiers. The group of dirty people and those who had just fled They come very similar.

People have very strong adaptability. They adapt to life in the territory within three days, and people like Lao Liu and others who came first are also familiar with them. Everyone is a refugee, and no one looks down on anyone. They are all the same when they arrive in the territory. of the people.

Children usually help in the kitchen in the territory, he remembered, and their food is also taken care of with special care, so they can eat meat every day.

Looking at these energetic children, the territory seems to have a little more vitality.

They should have been brought here by the soldiers after their busy work to do what, arithmetic? Lao Liu also learned it. His father and mother bought a piece of pork when they still had a little money, and sent him to a private school for a year. They hoped that he could learn arithmetic, read and write well, and become an accountant in the future.

He didn't become a bookkeeper in the end.

His father was ill and he had to go home early to take charge of the family. He went to the river to fetch water and walked five miles home alone. Xiaoliu became Laoliu, and then after his father recovered from his illness, he was hit by a military disaster. Some fled and some dispersed.

Then he came here with the village chief.

He secretly walked in along the tail of the children's team, wanting to see what was going on inside.

There were four teams lined up on the ground in a small semicircle. All the managers he could see were here. His original village chief was also there, as well as the team leader of the people who fled. He also worked with the new arrivals. Because of his rich experience, he was assigned to several new refugees and taught them how to farm.

They first write down the names of the people in line, and then answer the questions until they get the third question wrong, then write down the points they deserve on their own white paper. If they can't answer the question for five seconds, it is not considered an error. Please ask the next person to come up.

Use this to filter out those who are talented enough.

He turned around and saw that the lord was not there. He usually remembered that the lord would be here whenever there was such an activity. If he was absent, he might be sick. He hoped that his lord would get well soon.

"Hey, move forward!"

Unknowingly, he had squeezed to the front of the team with the gradually flowing crowd, inserted himself into the team, and kept moving forward. The people behind him urged him to move forward and not to block the progress of the team.

He walked forward and saw that the little brats had already started the test in front of all of them under the leadership of the soldiers. No one complained. This was the decision of the lord.

"There are still people in front."

He replied to the back.

There was nothing much to say about the following things. Old Liu walked in front of Wu Bai and did arithmetic with him in a dialogue, but until he came, he found that the team next to him was still a child answering questions. The person communicating with him changed from his village chief to another middle-aged affairs officer.

He remembered very clearly that the affairs officer was called Chongshan, who was very gentle. If there was anything, he could find him for feedback. His work was also arranged by him. Another officer named Changheng could bring back a lot of meat every day. Sometimes he could be seen standing in front of the team carrying a wolf back alone.

"Remember the name of this child. He passed."

Chongshan showed a satisfied look.

There was no need to ask again. He had even asked about quadratic equations. The child could react quickly. No matter how difficult the questions were, they were not written on the test question list given to him by Ji Lin. Chongshan could figure it out by himself, and there was no need.

All 32 children were able to pass the test questions that Ji Lin wrote overnight. They were all very smart.

Chongshan sighed as he looked at the endless team.

Until his eyes fell on the child's neck, there was a very faint blue-white aura lingering there, like a stream of water, which would dissipate as soon as the wind blew.
