shock!She can travel through time

Chapter 76

Lin Zhentian saw that Lin Wanwan had said so, so of course he stayed to eat hot pot together.So much meat, just looking at it, he is already drooling.In fact, he came here because he wanted to have a meal with Kunlun and the others.

Ever since he started working with Lin Wanwan, the days have visibly changed for the better.

After Lin Zhentian gave Lin Wanwan the management of the house, he, like Kunlun and the others, received "work clothes" for winter.The best clothes he wore in his life were the "work clothes" that Lin Wanwan sent him.

Lin Wanwan built several brick and tile dormitories on the wasteland on the edge of her Yongye Field, taking in many homeless mountain people and farmers who lost their fields and homes.This group of people is her farmer, helping her to farm the land.

Most of the time, they were managed by Lin Zhentian.Because of the language barrier, Kunlun occasionally visited on behalf of Lin Wanwan.

In the winter fields, there is nothing for others to plant, but for Lin Wanwan, there are still many things that can be planted.

Not to mention Chinese cabbage, everyone is planting them. Lin Wanwan also bought winter wheat, radishes, leeks, peas and other seedlings, and of course, high-yield potatoes that must be brought by travelers.

Not only did she let the farmers grow in her own fields, but she also gave vegetables to the clan members, so that everyone could follow along.After the harvest, just give her the same amount of ripe vegetables, which is an interest-free loan.

Because Lujiazhuang and Dafengzhuang belonged to the same li as Linjiazhuang, they were both under the management of Clan Chief Lin, so Lin Wanwan also gave Clan Chief Lin a bunch of seeds and let him watch and deal with them.

Patriarch Lin is willing to pull the people from Tongli, but they still don't know how to look down on them.

Farmers are most afraid of changes. No matter how much they plant, they will always reap a harvest. If they suddenly change the plant, it is impossible to predict what the result will be.

Everyone is too poor to stand a little bit of tossing.

Of course they also want to get rich, but they just want to get rich without risk, and they don't dare to take a little risk at all.Because once they deviate from expectations, they may starve, freeze, or even die.But in this world, there is no such thing as chasing and feeding you, and if there is, it will not be their turn.

On the contrary, Xiao Chong went to the countryside to inspect Lin Wanwan's fields whenever he had time. Every time he found something good, he would not miss it.

Lin Wanwan didn't dare to give him too much, otherwise it would be difficult to explain.In fact, even now, Lin Wanwan felt that Xiao Chong had doubts about her.But since the other party tacitly didn't ask anything, she naturally pretended to be stupid.

In Datang, even high-ranking officials were paid very low wages, but as a subsidy, they had their own fields and guards at public expense (most of them were included in the servitude of the local people).

Xiao Chong, as the magistrate of Shangxian County, Ruan County, has a rank of 2.5th rank and above. He receives a monthly salary (that is, various daily necessities, the total value of which will not exceed 95 tons), and once a year after the autumn harvest, he also receives a salary. The salary is mainly composed of millet, grain or other grains, [-] shi per year.

In addition, it is 500 acres of farmland.

With so many farms, it is definitely impossible to grow them all by yourself.Therefore, the county magistrate is actually a landlord, renting out his work field and then collecting the rent.The Tang Dynasty stipulated that the annual rent per mu of farmland should not exceed six buckets of millet.

But Xiao Chong was different. As a direct descendant of the Xiao family, when he came to office, the Xiao family let him bring enough people.Not to mention the aides, guards, servants, and doctors, and he brought a lot of farmers who depended on the Xiao family to farm.

Because the previous county magistrate was so black-hearted, all the tenants in the job field were separated from their wives by the previous term.When the new magistrate came over, many people didn't dare to rent it, because they were afraid that they would encounter an official who was ripping off the skin and drawing blood.

In the end, half of Xiao Chong's work field was leased to mountain people who had surrendered from the mountains and landless farmers, and the other half was cultivated by his own farmers. Naturally, he could use it as an experimental field as he wished.

Lin Wanwan sold the most potatoes to Xiao Chong. Because of the high yield of potatoes, the others were sold a little symbolically.

Now the gentry in Xiaoxi Town have heard the name of Hou Tao Lin's Lin Wanwan, and the legend of the production of [-] stone per mu of rice has spread in Shili Baxiang.It's just that most of the gentry didn't believe it at all, thinking that this was Xiao Chong's deception for his political achievements.

How daring people are, how prolific the land is!The one at the top of the Tang Dynasty who killed his brother and forced his father, was not in the right position, and was punished by a plague of locusts. For the sake of public opinion, it is necessary to create some "auspicious auspiciousness" as a model.

This kind of nasty thing, the gentlemen have seen a lot, and the stupid and ignorant commoners will believe it.

The gentry in Yan County also know that Xiao Chong's work field has planted a lot of seeds bought from Lin Wanwan. Now everyone's eyes are wide open and they are waiting to see the result (joke).

How many vegetables can be grown in winter?But in vain.When two kinds of cold-resistant seeds such as wort and radish are planted, not a single stone can be produced per acre. What else can there be?I am afraid that in the end, the Xiao family still needs to fill this false prosperity.

For Xiao Chong, the local gentry were more than respectful, but less fearful.

However, a hairy boy in his early twenties was recommended for the upper position only by the strength of his family. Even if he was a member of the Xiao family, so what.They just stared at Xiao Chong tossing about high-yielding rice seeds and sweet potatoes, and they didn't cooperate.

Fortunately, Xiao Chong never thought of giving them high-yielding seeds. There were not many, and of course the self-cultivators were the first.

***
After the first snow, the weather is getting colder every day.In Datang, winter is far more difficult than summer, because ordinary people do not have enough to keep out the cold.

The poet Du Fu once wrote, "The cloth quilt has been cold like iron for many years, and the proud child is lying on the ground.

What does this mean, that is, the clothes and quilts are as cold as iron, and the house is still leaking, how miserable it is, one can imagine.After all, the great poet Du Fu was also a gentry, and he was so impoverished that the rest of the people could be imagined.

Today's Zhenguan Year under Li Shimin's rule is not as bad as Tang Xuanzong's military and martial arts period in the late Kaiyuan period, but it is not much better.

Not to mention the severe drought in Guanzhong this year, the flood has just passed, and the harvest is horrific. It is all supported by transportation from various places.Under such difficult circumstances, Li Shimin also appointed Li Jing, Li Shiji, Chai Shao, Li Daozong and others as marching commanders in August to send troops to conquer the Eastern Turks.

The so-called soldiers and horses have not moved, food and grass first.Fighting wars is not only about force, but also about national power, and it costs a lot of money.Under the butterfly effect, Linjiazhuang's fishery tax this fall was [-]% higher than last year.

If it wasn't for the subsidy of Lin Wanwan's low-priced rice this year, it would have been difficult for them to spend the winter in Linjiazhuang.

Li Shimin's coercion of military affairs in all corners of the world needs the support of the people of the Tang Dynasty collectively tightening their belts.Those rich and powerful families still live extravagantly, and only ordinary people need to bear this kind of pressure.

Society is so unfair, it has been so since ancient times.
