Chapter 281 Mission
Speaking of this, Jiang Yan couldn't help but feel a little emotional. Chen Dao was probably the kindest person she had ever met who treated the villagers the best. Selling grain to the villagers at half price was something Jiang Yan had never heard of before. Even the most conscientious landlord would not do such a loss-making business like Chen Dao.
"I understand!"
After being persuaded by the two men, Chen Fu nodded heavily: "Tomorrow I will go to Daoge'er's house and hand over my family's land to him!"

the next day.
As the sun was just rising, Li Qiang crossed the farmland and entered the territory of Chenjia Village.
Today, Chenjia Village is clearly different from the past. In the past, only Chen Dao's house had smoke rising from its chimney, but this morning, smoke was rising from every household. Obviously, after Chen Dao stopped providing meals, the villagers of Chenjia Village also started cooking.
"Village Chief Li, you've come too?"
A voice came from behind him. Li Qiang turned around and saw a middle-aged man walking over hurriedly.
"Hello, Brother Chen Fu!"
Li Qiang greeted him with a smile. He had been visiting Chenjia Village frequently lately and was quite familiar with the villagers. He recognized the man's name as Chen Fu.
"Brother Chen Fu, where are you going so early in the morning?"
After exchanging greetings, Li Qiang asked.
"Of course we must go find Brother Dao!"
Chen Fu said with a smile, "My family has already decided to hand over all the land to Dao Ge'er and then help him with the work."
Upon hearing this, Li Qiang glanced at Chen Fu in surprise. He was well aware of how much the people of Xia Kingdom valued land, and the fact that Chen Fu could make such a decision so quickly undoubtedly showed that Chen Fu was a farsighted person who knew that the benefits of entrusting the land to Chen Dao far outweighed the benefits of farming it himself.
"Brother Chen Fu made a decision so quickly?"
"The sooner the better!"
Chen Fu said with a smile, "It's not just my family; I'm afraid most families in the village have made the same decision."
As he spoke, Chen Fu pointed ahead and saw many villagers in the distance. They were all heading in the same direction as Chen Dao's house.
Looking at the villagers walking in twos and threes ahead, Li Qiang gained a deeper understanding of Chen Dao's prestige in Chenjia Village.
In just one night, so many villagers made the decision to hand over their land to Chen Dao, which means that the villagers of Chenjia Village have an extreme level of trust in Chen Dao.
Before long, Li Qiang and Chen Fu arrived side by side in front of Chen Dao's house.
At this moment, a crowd gathered in front of Chen Dao's house. Villagers from Chenjia Village braved the cold wind and waited for the gate to open.
"Squeak!"
Just then, the gate opened, and Ding Xiaohua looked at the villagers gathered outside and asked in surprise, "Why is everyone here?"
"We've come to find Brother Dao."
Chen He answered on behalf of everyone: "Xiao Hua, is Dao Ge'er home?"
"Yes! Village chief, wait a moment, I'll go call Brother Dao."
Ding Xiaohua nodded and jogged into the house to call Chen Dao out.
Before long, Chen Dao appeared before the crowd. Looking at the people gathered outside the door, Chen Dao smiled and said, "Has everyone made their decision?"
"Yes, Brother Dao! My family is planning to hand over the land to you."
"It's the same at home! I wouldn't be able to grow much grain on this land anyway, so I might as well help you, Brother Dao!"
"My family is the same!"
"..."
The villagers responded enthusiastically. After returning home yesterday, they discussed the matter with their families and, after weighing the pros and cons, immediately realized that handing the land over to Chen Dao was the best option.
after all……
If the land remained in their own hands, they could barely fill their stomachs, or even not fill them at all. But if they gave it to Chen Dao, he could earn 500 coins a month and even buy grain at half price. The villagers knew perfectly well which was better.
"Alright!"
Chen Dao nodded and said to Chen He, "Village chief, could you please help me compile a list and write down the names of all the villagers who handed over their land?"
"No need to memorize it!"
Chen He waved his hand and said, "I've already counted the heads. Everyone in our village is willing to hand over their land to you. From now on, all the land in this village will be yours, Brother Dao."
"This saves us a lot of trouble!"
Chen Dao laughed, then looked at Li Qiang and asked, "Village Chief Li, where is your village?"
"It's the same in our village! All the villagers are willing to hand over their land."
"very good!"
Chen Dao nodded in satisfaction, "In that case, I will begin arranging work for you!"
So Chen Dao began to systematically arrange work for the villagers.
Chen Dao assigned the women from both villages to plow the land and take care of chickens and ducks, while the able-bodied men were assigned to work on road repairs and house construction.
Soon, the entire Chenjia Village was bustling with activity. At the village entrance, people were repairing roads; inside the village, people were building chicken farms and new houses; in the fields, women were tilling the land, waiting to sow seeds after spring; and in the school, the sound of children reading aloud filled the air.
Everything is proceeding in an orderly manner.
…………

Three days passed in a blink of an eye.
On this day, Chen Zhong, who was training hard and sweating profusely, suddenly saw Chen Dao arrive unexpectedly.
Since the guard team got on track, Chen Dao has rarely appeared on this training ground. His sudden appearance today is of unknown reason.
Chen Dao walked over to Chen Cheng and stood beside him. Looking at Chen Zhong and the others who were training, he nodded in satisfaction.
When they first joined the training, these young men who signed up for the guard team were generally thin and weak. However, after joining the guard team, because they had no shortage of meat and could drink chicken blood and practice Tiger-Taming Fist every day, they became much stronger and it was obvious that they had gained a lot of strength.
"Cheng-ge'er".
Chen Dao asked Chen Cheng, "How is their training going?"
"pretty good."
Chen Cheng replied, "Although their physical condition is a bit weak, they train very hard. Now they can practice the Tiger Subduing Fist three times every morning!"
"Not bad!"
Chen Dao nodded. With the physical condition of ordinary people in Xia Kingdom, they would probably only be able to perform the Tiger Subduing Fist once. These young men could perform it three times, which meant that their physical strength far exceeded that of ordinary people. Although they were still far from being comparable to the physical condition of martial artists, they should be able to defeat two or three adults without any problem.
"Everyone stop it!"
After everyone finished practicing the Tiger-Taming Fist once, Chen Dao walked up to them, asked them to stop for a moment, and then said, "I have a task for you!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Zhong and the others' eyes flickered. They were already very clear about the duties of the guard team, but when they suddenly heard Chen Dao say that he had a task to give them, they were startled and secretly wondered if there were thieves who wanted to harm the village.
