Chapter 164: The Master of Forget-Sorrow Island
As soon as they heard that the courier had arrived to deliver the goods, everyone rushed out of their homes excitedly and lined up to receive the goods.

Kitchen utensils such as pots, pans, and bowls, as well as rice, flour, grain, and oil, were distributed per person regardless of age.

He also gave each of them a piece of meat.

Those who got the prizes were so happy that they couldn't stop smiling and couldn't wait to take them home. Those who didn't get the prizes were jealous and stretched their necks to look forward.

I was looking forward to my turn soon, and by the time I had distributed everything, the sun was setting.

But it didn't stop them from cooking. After all, it was the first meal after moving into the new home, so they had to eat something delicious to celebrate.

So that night, the lights in all the houses were on and everyone had a smile on their face.

The next morning, they welcomed their most exciting moment, which was the division of land.

Early in the morning, everyone came to the land that had been prepared before. Duan Jingyun was very excited looking at the endless black soil in front of him.

“Today I will distribute the land to everyone, regardless of gender, age or status, five acres per person.

Starting next year, each of you will only have to pay one layer of taxes, and you can keep the rest for yourself.

If there is any food that cannot be eaten, you can sell it outside and exchange it for some silver."

Although the tax revenue is low, it is also to make everyone's life easier. After all, Forget-Your-Sorrow Island does not rely on their taxes to maintain itself.

“……”Everyone’s eyes lit up.

One layer of tax! That's no different from having no tax at all. Everyone can get five acres of land.

Wouldn’t the grain harvested this year pile up into a mountain? Then wouldn’t they become landlords?

Food is so scarce outside nowadays, so the food they can't finish eating can be sold for a lot of money.

Everyone was excited and couldn't stop smiling. This was a day that even a god couldn't change.

As everyone was eagerly waiting, Duan Qing began to distribute the land to everyone. Most of the prisoners brought back by Duan Jingyun were a family.

Although they were only allocated five acres of land, they were very happy. The general also said that if they started a family in the future, they would be given more land.

The families of those soldiers received more land. Some had five or six people, while others had more than ten. Each family received 40 to 50 acres.

But they were very happy. They only had to pay one level of tax, so they didn't have to worry about starving, and they could even sell a lot of surplus grain.

The day after the land was divided, each family started to get busy, even though it was still early for next year's spring plowing.

But they couldn't wait to start tidying up the fields, and they had already built the ridges early, waiting to sow the seeds next year.

Because the terrain here is relatively high and not suitable for growing rice, Duan Jingyun asked them to grow corn.

The first year's seeds were also distributed free of charge to everyone, and as soon as spring came, everyone couldn't wait to start planting.

They go to the fields at dawn every day and take good care of their own land. The land sprinkled with organic fertilizer is very vigorous. Seeing their own seedlings growing taller and taller, they feel indescribably happy.

Duan Jingyun was even happier, not only because the crops were growing well, but also because he was going to be a father again.

But Qin Ran was depressed. She had given birth to a son when she traveled here before and had never experienced pregnancy. This time she realized how uncomfortable pregnancy reactions were.

Seeing this bastard eating roast chicken in front of her again, she got so angry that she kicked him hard.

"Take it and eat it."

He knew that she couldn't bear to see it, but he still ate it in front of her. It was obvious that he was trying to tempt her.

“Madam, here’s a chicken leg for you.” Duan Jingyun handed the chicken leg to Qin Ran with a smile.

Ranran hasn't eaten anything nutritious for some time. This can't go on. His baby will starve to death.

“Don’t you know I can’t eat this?” Qin Ran glared at the man in dissatisfaction.

Just as she was about to kick him again, she was pulled into the man's arms.

“Just vomit if you want to. You should eat your food. Even if you vomit, it’s better than not eating.” Duan Jingyun handed the chicken leg to Qin Ran again.

Qin Ran was about to refuse, but her son, whose mouth was greasy from eating, smiled.

"Mom, this chicken leg is delicious. You should have some too." The little guy happily shook the chicken leg in his hand.

Daddy's roasted chicken today is the most delicious, why doesn't mom eat it?

"Look, my son said this chicken is delicious, you should try it too." Duan Jingyun handed the chicken leg to Qin Ran again. Looking at the chicken leg in front of her, Qin Ran was actually really greedy, but she was quite reluctant to spit it out when she thought about eating it.

"Ranran, if you believe what your husband says, you should eat it." Duan Jingyun pushed the chicken leg forward again.

It had even touched her lips. Qin Ran couldn't hold back any longer. She opened her mouth and tore off a piece of chicken.

"What do you think?" Duan Jingyun looked at her with amusement.

I had been smacking my lips with envy just from seeing Ranran eating it.

"Okay."

I have to admit that the chicken this man roasted today was pretty delicious.

“Then Madam, please eat more.” Duan Jingyun stuffed the chicken leg into Qin Ran’s hand.

Qin Ran did not refuse this time. Just as the man said, she couldn't always eat bland food.

The worst that could happen was that I would vomit, so I made up my mind and started eating with them.

The three of them soon finished a roast chicken with only bones left. Even Qin Ran's mouth was greasy from eating so much.

“How is it?” Duan Jingyun looked at Qin Ran with amusement.

I feel like Ranran ate well today and didn’t seem like vomiting.

“Yeah, not bad.” Qin Ran touched her big belly with satisfaction.

I didn't feel like vomiting today.

"Then I'll roast another chicken for you tomorrow." Duan Jingyun was delighted.

As long as Ranran doesn't vomit, his baby will not lack nutrition.

"Yeah." Qin Ran nodded with satisfaction.

Just as I was about to lie down and rest for a while, there was a knock on the door.

"master."

"What's the matter?" Duan Jingyun turned around and saw that the guy's face looked a little strange. Could something have happened?

"Master, they want to ask you to go out for a while." Duan Qing glanced at Qin Ran and said it anyway.

"They?" Duan Jingyun frowned.

I didn't quite understand what he meant, but when I saw him hesitating, I stood up anyway.

Qin Ran also sat up from the bed.

"..."

Seeing Duan Qing's hesitant look, she must be hiding something from her. She got out of bed with her big belly and led her son downstairs.

By the time Duan Jingyun and Duan Qing came outside, the yard was almost full of people.

"What are you doing?" He frowned.

With so many people gathered together, it seems like something is going on.

"The general has been very kind to us. Without him, we wouldn't be living like this today. Now our Forget-Your-Sorrow Island has been built.

We are just short of an island owner, and only a general can take on the job." Cheng Wei took the lead.

Duan Jingyun was the one who built Wangyou Island. I took the lead and made him the island master, just to make him remember me for my good deeds.

It turned out that he was asked to be the island master, and Duan Jingyun did not refuse.

"In that case, I would be disrespectful."

He and Ranran were originally the owners of this Forget-Your-Sorrow Island. They just changed their names. It didn’t matter.

Just as I was thinking about it, I saw Cheng Wei coming up to me with a flattering look on his face.

"Island Master, these are the beauties we have selected for you."
