After the recent turmoil, the reforms in the village continued to progress with the support of the villagers. Fu Xingchen's arm injury had not yet fully healed, but he insisted on working alongside everyone despite the pain.
Mu Yunfan looked at Fu Xingchen and advised, "Brother Fu, your wound isn't healed yet; you should rest a bit more. We can handle these tasks." Fu Xingchen shook his head and replied, " brother Mu, everyone is contributing to the reform; how can I be idle? Besides, this little injury won't hinder my work." With that, he picked up his tools and continued helping Zhao Gang repair the houses.
Su Yizhi was busy with Lin Yu, gathering data on land for proper allocation. Su Yizhi held a pen and paper, carefully recording the area and location of each plot of land while Lin Yu assisted with measurements. The two worked in perfect harmony. "Lin Brother, look here; the boundary of this piece of land is a bit unclear. We need to confirm it carefully," Su Yizhi pointed at a field. Lin Yu nodded, crouched down, and examined the markers on the ridge closely. "Brother Su, I think we should use this old tree as the boundary; that would be more reasonable." After pondering for a moment, Su Yizhi nodded in agreement and recorded the information.
Mu Yunfan moved among the villagers patiently explaining new farming methods. He picked up a hoe and demonstrated, "Everyone, see that when using this hoe, you shouldn't dig too deep. This way, you can loosen the soil without damaging the roots of the crops. Also, when planting seeds, you need to maintain proper spacing; if they're too close together, they won't grow well, and if they're too far apart, it wastes land." The villagers gathered around attentively listening, occasionally asking questions which Mu Yunfan answered one by one.
With everyone's efforts, the village began to show new changes. The houses were newly repaired, and the land had been redistributed. The villagers started planting according to the new farming methods. Seeing the hopeful expressions on their faces filled Mu Yunfan with joy: "Seeing everyone so enthusiastic gives me confidence that our reforms will surely succeed."
Fu Xingchen smiled and said, "Indeed, but we must not let our guard down; there is still much work to be done. For example, we need to monitor crop growth and guide villagers in addressing various issues promptly."
As days passed, tender green sprouts gradually emerged from the fields. One day, a villager rushed over to Mu Yunfan in a panic: "Mu Gongzi, something's wrong! It seems insects have infested my crops; what should I do?" Mu Yunfan quickly followed the villager to the field and saw that the leaves of the crops were covered with numerous insects voraciously eating away at them.
Mu Yunfan observed carefully and said, "Everyone stay calm; this is a common pest issue. We can mix wood ash with water and spray it on the crops to drive away the insects." He then led the villagers to collect wood ash and mixed it with water in proper proportions before filling buckets.
Fu Xingchen and Zhao Gang also came to help; they used ladles to evenly distribute the prepared wood ash solution over the crops. Su Yizhi reminded everyone nearby: "Be careful when spraying; try to ensure every leaf gets some for better effectiveness." With everyone's cooperation, they quickly completed the pest control task.
After this pest incident, villagers trusted Mu Yunfan and his team even more. They approached Mu Yunfan voluntarily expressing their desire to learn more knowledge and skills to better tackle various problems. Mu Yunfan was delighted and said, "It's great that everyone feels this way! Starting tomorrow evening, we'll gather in the village square to teach reading and writing as well as some practical knowledge."
In the evening, a bonfire was lit in the village square where villagers sat together. Mu Yunfan held a book teaching them characters while Fu Xingchen explained some basic arithmetic concepts. Su Yizhi shared stories about their journey so far while Lin Yu discussed common knowledge about herbs and medicine. The villagers listened intently as the atmosphere became lively.
During their reform efforts, Mu Yunfan and his team discovered that trade between their village and outside was minimal; it was difficult for villagers to sell their hard-grown crops and handmade products. Therefore, Mu Yunfan decided to team up with Fu Xingchen and Su Yizhi to explore business opportunities in nearby towns. They brought along handmade crafts from villagers as well as some agricultural products in search of new opportunities without knowing what challenges or chances awaited them in town.
