Group pet small peasant girls: Escape the famine with the space of merit

Chapter 209 Another Good Harvest

208
The light of the fire can attract locusts. After a while, everyone saw swarms of locusts flying towards the fire.

"There are so many?!" The villagers had goose bumps all over their bodies.

They didn't see many of them in the field during the day!

Seeing that it was almost done, Erlang shouted: "Go!"

The villagers dragged the cloth to seal the locusts in charge of the fire pit in the fire pit, and some people took shovels and buried the fire pit with soil.

The folks in Xinsheng Village cooperated with each other tacitly, and did not know how many times they did this, and the locusts went from swarming in groups at the beginning to being visible to the naked eye.

It was almost dawn, and the fire could no longer attract locusts, and the villagers were almost exhausted.

"Call work, go home and catch up on sleep!" Erlang said.

That night, not only Xinsheng Village, but all the villages below Ningshui Town were using fire to attract locusts to burn and kill.

On the second day, there were still a few locusts in the field, not enough for chickens and ducks.

The old village chief was worried that locusts would continue to come from other places, so he asked the villagers to continue to burn and kill the locusts in turn for several nights.

The same goes for other villages. Seeing that the rice can be harvested, everyone is willing to work hard for a few nights in exchange for a bumper harvest.

A few days later, the weather was fine, and the whole village went out to harvest rice.

Except for Zhou Huiniang, who was pregnant, and Ai Yuner, who was nursing the baby, who were in charge of boiling water and cooking at home, everyone else in the Wen family also went to the ground, including Bai Muyang.

It took three and a half days for Wen's family to harvest more than ten acres of land each.

The old man and the old lady only went out to help harvest on the first day, and at the end of the seventh day, they helped dry the rice outside the house.

Because of the good weather, the villagers sent the sun-dried rice to the cool home a few days ago.

The money outside the hands of the folks in Xinsheng Village has been used to build new houses, and their pockets have been empty for a long time.

Now as soon as the rice is sold, each household has lost a hundred and forty taels, and their money has narrowed, and they have no confidence in their hearts.

"When the corn was harvested last month, I could still receive a sum of money." Liang Liang smiled and said to the villagers: "The little guy spends where he should, don't worry too much."

You can see that the folks lived relatively frugally because they had money, and many of them bought meat before they built new houses outside their homes.

"Of course." An elderly woman outside the village took the silver and said happily, "The weather is so cold, and the children's summer shirts are getting too big, so they are willing to make new ones for us later, and now they have no silver. One thing is to make two new summer shirts for the children."

"You have to buy meat for the children. The next time the children eat meat will be the full moon banquet in Yangyang."

"You will give a girl to your family's eighth phase in a while, because you have money in your hand and dare to give the other party a promise, you go and appoint this girl tomorrow!"

"..."

"..."

The villagers each talked about their own plans, all beaming on their faces.

Liang Liang saw it and smiled consciously.

In Xilin Country, corn is a rare commodity, so the price is even lower than that of rice, and it is a food that only poor people can afford.

Every household in Xinsheng Village has several acres of cornfields. Before the harvest last month, each family could at least increase their income by dozens of taels of silver.

Next, barley is planted again, and peanuts, potatoes, small beans and other crops have not yet been harvested, and they are all money.

Seeing that the lives of the villagers are getting better and better, Reese is really happy for us.

"Nuan Nuan, his Aunt Zhou is looking for him." Luo brought Zhou Huiniang's mother over.

"Nuannuan, my little lady is playing tricks on him." Zhou's mother treated Liangliang as a family member, and said straight to the point: "Uncle Zhou knows that he is harvesting grain, so he asked you to come and ask him, is the grain harvested in Licun? "

Zhou An is busy with building a grain store, and before going back last night, he heard his daughter-in-law mention the cool grain collection, so I asked you to come over and ask.

Our family has a small population, and we have little land, and we grow the low-yield grains of the Wen family, so what we have left this year is more grain.

"Harvest, as long as the rice is grown from the grain you bought outside, you don't care how much you harvest."

The rice grains grown from your purchased grains are shriveled, and the cooked rice and porridge are more fragrant than special rice and porridge.

Cool is not worried about people with no intention of mixing Reese's rice outside, or shoddy, because it can be seen at a glance.

Mother Zhou was very upset when she heard the news: "Go tell your old man about it!"

"Auntie, please tell the folks outside your village the news, so that we can send all the food we have left over to you, and the price is the same as the grain sold by the folks in Xinsheng Village."

Zhou's mother was in a daze: "Okay, you will tell the little guy."

At that price, the food in your family can be sold for at least a hundred taels of silver.

You have never thought that farming can make a fortune!

Mother Zhou secretly pinched her arm.

It hurts~~
You are dreaming!

Zhou's mother even watched her daughter-in-law, so she floated back to Zhoujiazhuang.

The Zhou family was very excited when they heard the good news.

"It's all thanks to Hui Niang." Mother Zhou said to her sons and daughter-in-law.

The daughter-in-laws all understood what the mother-in-law meant: "Mother, you all know that no matter how life was in the past, you will treat Huiniang well."

People change people's hearts, Xiao Lang gave us food and meat at the easiest time for us, so that your children will not starve to death, and you will remember the goodness of the Wen family in your heart.

"Okay!" Mother Zhou cried with joy.

It was really difficult for us in those years, and now life is finally hopeless.

Jiang Yiwei asked people to go to Xinsheng Village to collect food in batches. The villagers only knew that the convoys pulled away food from Wen's house, but they didn't know how much food was taken away.

Lianqiu and Fudong were sent by Liangliang to other towns to collect grain, and Liangliang was in charge of the account of quitting. Even Wen Xingye and Qilang knew how much grain Reese sold. After all, whether we have time to stay Outside of home, I have to be busy with extraterrestrial work.

In mid-January, Jiang Yiwei personally came to Xinsheng Village to pull the first batch of rice and corn that the villagers had just harvested, and at the same time brought back a message to Liang Liang.

"There is no change on the border of Nanyuan Kingdom, I'm afraid there will be a war." Jiang Yiwei said loudly: "If he keeps all the rice?"

Liang Liang's heart tightened: "Boss Jiang is worried, you and the villagers have left enough food."

The small beans and potatoes outside the land can be harvested, Liang Liang is worried that the villagers will have rations, and what you are most worried about is that the imperial court will conscript soldiers.

There are few girls in our Wen family, so we are afraid of getting a few places in the conscription!

Rees looked around in surprise, found Bai Muyang and asked some questions.

Wen Shanshu comforts you: "Worry will lead to conscription."

After a pause, Bai Muyang said again: "Yes, you are sure that the imperial court will collect food from the people."

If the court wants to collect grain, you must be the first to bear the brunt!

In the past two years, several states have experienced drought, which has caused the price of food in the entire Xilin Kingdom to drop, and it is still in a hurry.

Now that there is a small harvest in Zhongzhou City, if you really want to collect grain, the current emperor will definitely be the first to keep an eye on you!
