[Ding——The relationship between the host and Gongsun Zan has reached a friendly level.

Side mission: Developing manor diplomacy is completed. Congratulations to the host for obtaining 5 manor contribution points.]

Listening to the system's mechanical beep, Liu An suppressed the ecstasy in his heart and did not let his emotions affect his expression.

After all, Liu Ming is still here, and it seems too strange to be inexplicably happy.

Wouldn’t it be embarrassing if there was any strange xp if I was misunderstood?

After Gongsun Zan left, Liu Ming asked Liu An worriedly: "Uncle, I gave the sword to Brother Bogui this time, so what about your family..."

Liu An waved his hand to appease Liu Ming: "Don't worry, Deran. I'll just find a solution at home."

Saying this, Liu An has already begun to fantasize about how to use the 5 contribution points he just got.

However, after looking at the contributions required for the three lottery draws, Liu An's good mood suddenly disappeared.

These 5 points of contribution are not even enough to draw one round.

Liu Ming saw that Liu An's expression seemed to be a little lost. He also knew that his family was in trouble, so he gritted his teeth and comforted Liu An:

"It really doesn't work out. My nephew still has some money left here. Why don't my uncle use it to buy an acre of middle land? Although it's not as good as fertile land, it's still better than nothing..."

Just as Liu An was about to refuse, Gongsun Zan had already walked in with a large pile of bamboo slips.

The bamboo slips in Gongsun Zan's hand were all separated one by one, and were stuck on a piece of cloth that was more than a foot wide and of unknown length.

After sitting down, Gongsun Zan rummaged for a moment, pulled out a bamboo slip and said to Liu Ande:

"Nowadays, most of the unowned farmland in the county has been bought, and I can't give much to my virtuous brother. This is 10 acres of farmland, located on the south side of Taohe River in the northwest of Liujia Village. Although it is slightly away from Taohe River,

But if you travel more, irrigation won’t be a problem.”

During the Eastern Han Dynasty, paper had not yet completely replaced bamboo slips.

Especially in places like the government, which have recorded hundreds of years of people's livelihood information since the Han Dynasty, it would be a huge project to transcribe all the words onto paper.

Therefore, nowadays most real estate certificates, land certificates and other documents are recorded using bamboo slips.

Liu An did not expect that Gongsun Zan actually found 10 acres of fertile land for him. He was so shocked that he stood up and refused.

"Brother, what do you mean by this? I give the sword to my brother, not sell it to my brother. What does it mean if my brother gives me fertile land?"

"My dear brother, please be patient and don't be impatient."

Gongsun Zan put the bamboo slips aside, stood up, came to Liu An and helped Liu An sit down, and then continued:

"Brother knows your brother's thoughts, and is very happy to accept your kindness. But it's okay for me to give you a gift as a greeting, but isn't it okay for me to give you a gift as a gift? I gave this to your brother, not to buy it.

Sword!"

"Well..." Liu An could accept this statement. He would not lose face and could achieve his original goal.

After thinking for a while, Liu An said again: "But if my brother gives me farmland from the county, won't he break the rules?"

When Gongsun Zan heard Liu An's words, he smiled helplessly.

This newly recognized brother of mine still doesn’t understand the world.

If you don't take the public property, others will take it. As long as you don't do it too obviously, they will turn a blind eye.

If the higher-ups want to touch you, even if you have nothing to do with Minqiu, they can always find all kinds of loopholes to correct you.

If you don't want to do it at the top, as long as you don't break the sky, no one will care even if the mountains and the earth break apart.

Although he thought so in his heart, Gongsun Zan knew that he couldn't say that, and he still had to do superficial things.

"Don't worry, dear brother, I will make up the money for these ten acres of fertile land and hand it over to the government. Don't worry, dear brother."

"This..." Liu An pretended to hesitate for a moment, then stood up and paid homage to Gongsun Zan: "Thank you very much, brother."

Gongsun Zan supported Liu An and handed the bamboo slips he had just pulled out to Liu An with a smile.

However, Liu An did not answer, but said solemnly: "Brother's kindness is appreciated by An Di, but An Di has the hands and feet to reclaim wasteland to support his mother. I hope that brother will take back this fertile land and replace it with wasteland."

"..." Gongsun Zan looked at Liu An in confusion, then turned to look at Liu Ming. For a moment, he couldn't tell whether Liu An was really stupid or pretending to be smart.

Fertile farmland and wasteland are not the same concept at all.

You can buy wasteland for around 500 yuan, but fertile land costs tens of thousands of yuan. Even a fool can tell the difference.

Not to mention normal people!

There is a huge gap between fertile farmland and wasteland not only in terms of workload.

Among them, reclamation is a problem, and irrigation is also a problem. It is simple to say, but when it comes to actual implementation, the workload is more than ten times different.

Furthermore, the yield of fertile land is many times higher than that of wasteland!

The workload is heavy and the output is small. Why are there people clamoring for such a field?

Hard to understand.

"Dear brother, have you thought clearly?" Gongsun Zan asked Liu An again.

"Brother, please do it!" Liu An clasped his fists and bowed.

"Alas... A good brother is so righteous, so I am not as good as him!" Gongsun Zan could only sigh, and then he started looking among the bamboo slips again.

After a while, Gongsun Zan handed three bamboo slips to Liu An.

"This is 50 acres of wasteland 15 miles to the west of Zhuo County and 10 miles south of Taohe River. But... I'd better think twice, reclaiming wasteland is not that simple."

really!

Liu An just refused the fertile land and replaced it with wasteland because he felt that for such a decent person like Gongsun Zan, he couldn't just exchange 10 acres of fertile land for 10 acres of wasteland and be done with it.

And he has the chemical fertilizers provided by the system, as well as the cross-turn plow, a time-honored tool that can be used for deep plowing, and the endless buckets that ignore the geographical area. It is more than a little easier than others to reclaim wasteland.

Although 10 acres of fertile farmland is good, it is only 10 acres and the area is still too small.

If possible, Liu An would naturally choose more fields.

One mile in the Han Dynasty was about 420 meters, which is about 13 miles in modern units. The distance is quite acceptable.

As for whether to rely on water, Liu An, who has endless water bottles, does not need to think about this issue for the time being.

Suppressing his excitement, Liu An took the three bamboo slips from Gongsun Zan's hand with both hands and said:

"Thank you for your concern, brother. Everything is difficult at the beginning. Our ancestors also walked through it step by step. Are today's people worse than the ancients?"

[Ding——Main mission: Obtain an acre of your own land and complete it.

The host has exceeded the task and the system will reward double the manor's contribution points. Congratulations to the host for getting 2 contribution points.

Since the host owns his own field, the system automatically unlocks a special lottery board - the farming lottery board.

And publish the main task: build a manor of your own. The manor infrastructure should include walls and houses.

Completing the task will reward you with 10 manor contribution points.

Publish the main task: Obtain your own animal breeding base. The base infrastructure should include breeding sheds, food troughs, and water tanks.

Completion of the task will reward 5 manor contribution points.]

A series of notification sounds came from the system, but Liu An didn't have the energy to check them for the time being.

Gongsun Zan is a hero. If he is distracted, he is likely to be discovered, which is a very rude behavior. Liu An does not want to lose Gongsun Zan's favorability, so he can only concentrate on dealing with Gongsun Zan first.

Gongsun Zan was stunned for a moment when he heard Liu An's words. After thinking about it carefully, he realized that it made sense.

"Haha, what I said makes sense, but I am pedantic, and..."

Gongsun Zan took out two gold cakes and handed them to Liu An, saying:
Chapter completed!
