Chapter 541 Land of Hope (1)

Maple Mountain Village is a small settlement about 160 miles away from Black Rock City.

All the members are naturally composed of refugees who took refuge in the Blackstone Tribe last fall; in the internal code of the Blackstone Tribe, Maple Mountain Village has another name: the 96th Production Brigade.

Such a production brigade with a population of about 2,000 people now has a total of 136 people distributed within a range of 500 miles around the Heishi tribe.

The reason for the original arrangement is that Master Niu considered the current level of technology and management capabilities of the Blackstone tribe.

In such a mountainous environment, letting hundreds of thousands of people live together is not only a huge disaster for the surrounding environment.

Even for managers like Kui, it is a difficult task that is simply not up to the task.

After all, a year ago, their subordinates were only managing about 2,000 people, and even so, it was still very difficult; not to mention that the number suddenly increased by more than 100 times.

So under Master Niu's plan, only 20,000 people were added to the original place of the Heishi tribe, forming a small town, Heishi City.

For the remaining 200,000 or so refugees, they were simply asked to form a production team with one or several tribes according to their previous tribal affiliation; the tribal leaders among them served as leaders at the village head level and were responsible for daily management.

In this way, although there are various hidden dangers, but in comparison, this is already the most effective method that Master Niu can come up with at present...

Seeing the sky gradually darken, the village head of Maple Mountain Village.

That is, the Wu of the Jingsang tribe, a small tribe that used to be on the edge of the plain, carefully pulled up the sleeve of his left hand, revealing his most precious thing on his wrist.

That was more than a hundred years ago in the modern plane, and it was very popular for a while, and now it is also the same thing as a status symbol in the Luolei Mountains: an electronic watch.

The villager counted the numbers on the watch until the time on the watch jumped to exactly six o'clock before he walked to a big cast iron bell at the entrance of the village and jingled.

Suddenly, a loud bell sounded from far away from the village.

Around Maple Mountain Village, there are fields that can't be seen as far as the eye can see. This is cultivated by all the people in Maple Mountain Village, after the eight petals of sweat fell on the ground for more than half a year.

The entire 8,000 mu of arable land is also the only means for everyone in the village to dress, eat, and even exchange for all supplies in the future.

Of course, relying on the 8,000 mu of arable land alone, the whole village can barely eat enough; if 30% of the harvest is paid as the cost of grain seeds, the whole village will not even be able to eat enough.

But regarding this point, all the villagers in Fengmu Mountain, and even all the members of the production team, did not have any worries.

Because the benevolent Master Niu has long considered this point for these hard-working people: around each production team, there is a wide enough forest area to allow them to reclaim more arable land.

Considering the impact on the surrounding environment, Mr. Niu set a limit of 30,000 mu of cultivated land for each village.

And the production of 30,000 mu of arable land can not only easily meet the needs of these people's lives, but also a large part can be paid to the Blackstone tribe; in addition to offsetting 30% of the seed cost, there is still a large surplus.

These surpluses will be distributed to them in the form of food stamps, and with these food stamps, they can use these food stamps to buy everything they want in the large supermarket of the Blackstone Tribe.

Comfortable and warm clothes, delicious food, all kinds of beautiful and exquisite utensils... Just thinking of everything in that supermarket, even the village chief, a witch from the Jingsang tribe, can't stop moving his heart.

What made him even more amazed was that these good things that even he, a noble witch, could not imagine before; they only need to work hard, and they can be easily obtained.

And working hard is the simplest thing for refugees like them...

After the bell rang to signify the end of work, a large group of women returned from the village in droves; they laughed and joked with each other vulgarly.

It can be seen that they are extremely satisfied with their current life.

After the bell rang, all those who returned were women. It was not that all the workers in the village were women, but that these people went home first and prepared their own food for the evening.

And the men in their family, even the half-grown cubs, would work spontaneously until it was completely dark before returning to the village.

For these ex-refugees, in less than a year, they have fallen in love with this land, this wild land in their minds before.

Because as long as you pay here, there will be enough returns. It is a place full of hopes and dreams!

*****

Sang mingled among the women in the brigade and walked towards the small house in the village.

Even just after dawn, Sang and her man set off early and went to the farmland outside the village to start a busy day; but at this time, her pace of returning home was still so brisk.

Because according to the weird days of the Blackstone tribe, today is a special day called Saturday.

It's also my own little boy, who came back from preschool on vacation and stayed for one night...

My two cubs belong to the age group of four and a half to ten years old; according to the rules set by Master Niu, all cubs of this age need to be sent to the preschool class to learn scientific and cultural knowledge.

Of course, scientific and cultural knowledge is just what Master Niu said. In the minds of the refugees, this is the various inheritances that only noble witches could master in the past.

In this way, doesn't it mean that the little boy in his family may become a big man like the village chief in the future.

Bringing a very decent electronic watch, you don't have to go to the fields to work every day, just arrange everyone's work, and just ring the bell or something.

For Master Niu's decision, all the parents of the cubs burst out with enthusiasm, and sent their cubs to the preschool established in the township.

As for higher-level schools and primary schools, they can only be found in Black Rock City, and they must pass strict assessment and selection before they are eligible to enroll.

The sacred and profound place of elementary school is at least to know as many as one hundred and ten characters, and to be proficient in addition and subtraction within a hundred; only such geniuses can go to the place to learn.

After Sang returned home, the two cubs in the family had already been picked up by the village guards and returned to the village.

Sang happily embraced the two cubs, and after kissing each other, Sang started to get busy; the meal tonight was naturally the most sumptuous one in a week.

A small amount of wheat mixed with a large amount of cornmeal is made of multigrain bread, which is baked around the firepit; and then coated with a layer of minced luncheon meat, just looking at it makes people drool.

In addition, Sang also used a large pot of water to stew two pieces of instant noodles in bulk.

Because it has been a long time, the two cubs in the family have not eaten the delicious Niubawang instant noodles; the two cubs began to swallow their saliva continuously during the stew.

Just after the food was ready, Mulberry returned home under the moonlight.

Then, under the thick soybean oil lamp, Sang's family of four began to have dinners with only chatting a few times a month.

As usual, before eating, the whole family knelt down in front of a small statue of Mr. Niu, and sincerely thanked Mr. Niu for everything that Mr. Niu had bestowed on them!
