Traveling through the famine, I stockpiled supplies like crazy

Chapter 297: Getting Rich Overnight

“That’s for sure. There are droughts and floods. It’s unrealistic to say that there will be no impact on the ecology.

The disaster year has passed, and now we have to see what happens after the beginning of spring this year. "Lu Chuan was also very concerned about the ecology of the mountains and forests, and couldn't help but worry.

"We have no way to change these things. We can only leave it to God's will."

"We can't do anything else, so let's just do our best to protect this forest," said Lu Chuan.

"Yes, when we have time later, we can replant some saplings next to the dead tree. I believe they will grow into big trees after many years." Xu Han said with anticipation.

"Well, this is also a fortune left for our children. It is also for our descendants to live better. The most important thing is to be able to cope with natural disasters, so that when natural disasters occur, there will be food to eat and we won't starve to death."

When Xu Han heard this, she suddenly thought of something, so she asked Lu Chuan, "Does this mountain belong to the government? Has our family ever obtained the title deed to this mountain before?"

"In the past, the mountains belonged to the government, and everyone could go into the mountains to gather and hunt. But because where we live is far away from the homes of the people living down the mountain, it is considered a deep mountain to them, and normally no one would go into the mountains.

But later, when my father was preparing to build a house in the mountains, he was afraid that someone would come to mess up the house after it was built. So he asked a friend to buy it for thirty taels. "Lu Chuan explained.

"Bought it? That means the place we live in now belongs to our family, not the government." Xu Han said in surprise.

"Yes, with the hilltop where we live as the center point, everything around us belongs to our family, but I can't remember exactly how big it is.

When I bought it, there was a map, and it was quite large anyway." Lu Chuan said after thinking for a while.

"You spent so much for thirty taels, so much that you can't even remember? It's really not a lot of money." Xu Han said with a sly delight.

“This is a barren mountain, and normally no one would buy it, so of course the price is very cheap.

In addition, my father asked someone he knew to act as a go-between, so when signing the documents, they didn’t measure anything and just circled it on the map.

Because I prepared it in advance, I naturally put some water in when I was circling. Hehehe." Lu Chuan laughed.

"Dad is really foresighted. I always thought that our house was just built here by chance, but I didn't expect that Dad actually bought it.

Now, even if we plant things or make improvements on the mountain in the future, we don’t have to worry about the government confiscating the land or stopping us.

Now that we have the title deed, we have the confidence to do whatever we want on our own land, and no one else can interfere." Xu Han said with a smile.

After hearing what Xu Han said, Lu Chuan felt a little bit guilty about himself.

It was because I did not explain this matter clearly to my wife in advance, which made her worried and uneasy.

Then he said, "It seems that I have never told you about the land deed. This is my fault. I should have told you earlier."

"It's not your fault, we are the only one living in the mountain, and there are no other neighbors around.

Subconsciously, I already felt that all the products in the mountains belonged to our family, so of course I would plant whatever I wanted first without being influenced by others. After all, other families would not go into the mountains.

If I hadn't suddenly thought of the land deed today, I probably wouldn't have remembered to ask this." Xu Han said.

After thinking for a while, he continued, "When you go back, find the map from that year and we'll look at it together.

It's good to know that those hills belong to us, so we can have a better idea of ​​what to do in the future."

"Okay, I'll find it when I get back." Lu Chuan agreed.

"But suddenly knowing that our family owns so many hills, I feel like I've become rich overnight. This is so cool." Xu Han said excitedly.

"What's the use of these hills? Can they be turned into money?" Lu Chuan asked puzzledly.

"Of course it can be turned into money. Think about it, there are so many hills. Whatever we plant on the hills can be turned into money.

If we could reclaim land and grow crops wherever we could, we would become rich.

With so many hills, how many acres of land can we have and how much food can we grow? Will we still be worried about not having food to eat in the future?" Xu Han became more and more excited as he thought about it, and he couldn't wait to go home and start reclaiming wasteland.

"We can't finish all the crops with just a few of us. It's too troublesome to reclaim land in the mountains. I never thought that we could actually reclaim land for farming." Lu Chuan touched his head and said honestly.

"Haha, isn't that just a thought? It's definitely not possible with just a few of us. And even if we grow the crops, we can't transport them out to sell. It's too far in the mountains. These are not in line with the actual situation."

"If you really want to do it, then I will accompany you to do it slowly. You can always do it with accumulation year by year."

Xu Han couldn't help but feel touched when she saw that Lu Chuan actually took it seriously.

But at the same time, I had some ideas in my mind. Maybe I can really do it in the future. How can I know if I can’t do it if I don’t try…

The two chatted all the way and before they knew it, they had reached the foot of the mountain.

After Lu Chuan hid the boat, the two of them walked towards the official road, one in front and one behind.

We waited until about half past nine and finally arrived at the official road.

Looking around, there was no one on the road, and the fields beside the official road had become wasteland.

The ground was full of dead branches and leaves, a dilapidated scene that showed it had been abandoned for many years.

The surrounding trees had fallen down, leaving only some dead branches lying around in a mess.

Looking from afar, the houses in the distance have all collapsed. Some have only some main beams still standing, while others have collapsed completely and their original appearance can no longer be seen.

The area at the foot of the mountain is no longer as lively as it once was. After experiencing such a long period of natural disasters, there is almost no trace of the previous life.

When people are gone, houses can easily become abandoned. In addition, due to last year's floods, the original standing houses were also washed down.

The power of the flood was so great that not only did the houses collapse, but the surrounding trees were also uprooted.

Over time, this led to the scene the two of them saw now.

"It seems that those who fled the famine have not returned home yet." Lu Chuan said.

"Yes, they couldn't find their previous home when they came back. There was no trace of anyone living there." Xu Han replied sadly.

"The house is gone, the family is gone, and the land is gone. What will happen even if I come back?" Lu Chuan said with clenched fists.

"Someone has to come back to rebuild their homes. The country needs people, and the people need to have enough food. Natural disasters are ruthless, but we still have to live well." Xu Han said, holding Lu Chuan's hand.
