Chapter 55: Reclaiming Wasteland

Several people reached the outskirts of the village, where many were already present on the wasteland. Some of them were using bamboo poles to measure the land. The bamboo poles were long and straight, specifically used for land measurement, and their length was exactly equal to one acre. A few impatient men even measured it by striding across, getting a roughly similar area because they were too familiar with the land. They interacted with this land every day and passed this knowledge down from generation to generation.
