Don't panic when fleeing the famine, the peasant girl is busy farming

Chapter 116 Appearing as Prey
After Jiang Erya received the land deed from the yamen servant, she immediately hired most of the laborers in Xinglin Village to help her farm.

She said: "I don't have money anymore, I can't get the wages out, but I still have a whole room of grain left unsold, if you want, I can use the grain to pay for the wages, a catty of grain is worth [-] Wen .”

The villagers of Xinglin Village were overjoyed.

Lizheng said to everyone: "Where did Erya come to hire people to farm? She is clearly here to do good deeds! Eight yuan is exchanged for a catty of grain. Where can I find such a good deed?

The grain in the county is sold for dozens of yuan a catty.

You have to think about Erya's goodness, and do the work well for her..."

After listening to Li Zheng's words, everyone agreed.

Jiang Erya regarded the wheat grown in the manor as food seeds, selected a few trustworthy people from the hired people as stewards, and told them to lead the others to work hard, and it was over.

Jiang Erniu stared at everything carefully.

Is the field plowed deeply, is the basal fertilizer applied enough, the seeds are sown evenly and unevenly, and whether the water is watered enough...

After two days, the corners of his mouth were blistered.

Jiang Erya brewed a pot of honeysuckle tea for him with boiled spiritual spring water, and persuaded him: "There are more than 300 acres of land, even if you turn yourself into a spinning top, you may not be able to stare at it.

You'd better learn from me and worry less.Occasionally going to the fields to inspect a circle is enough. "

Jiang Erniu shook his head and said, "I'm really worried.

As for the more than 300 mu of fields, it is a bit late to sow seeds now. If something goes wrong in any link, there may be no harvest.

If that's the case, all the grain we planted and the grain we hired people to spend will be lost. "

Jiang Erya said: "If you're really worried, I'll go quietly to those fields in the middle of the night to re-water the seeds that have been planted with spiritual spring water, so that they can grow vigorously and have a good harvest."

Jiang Erniu was certain in his heart, yes, with the spiritual spring water given by the old god, no problems would be a problem.

He picked up a cup of honeysuckle tea, drank it all in one gulp, and said with emotion, "I've been really confused these two days, and I've been worrying about nothing."

Jiang Erya smiled, picked up a cup of tea and fed it to her silly star.

"Xingxing, put down the carving knife, stand up and move around."

Silly star shook his head, unwilling to get up.He has not yet carved the most beautiful flower in the world.

Jiang Erya didn't expect that her casual sentence would make Silly Xing addicted to carving flowers.

Sitting for a long time is very harmful. For the sake of Sha Xing's health, she must find a way to get Sha Xing to change this bad habit.

She thought and thought, and shouted to Jiang Erniu loudly: "Father, help me find out, is the silly star getting fat because of sitting every day? I don't think he looks as good-looking as before!"

Jiang Erniu cooperated and shouted: "It's fat, sitting fat, not as good-looking as before. Why don't you throw him out and find another better-looking one for you to raise and play with?"

When Silly Xing heard this, he immediately threw away the carving knife in his hand, hugged Jiang Erya, and said hurriedly: "Lady, I won't sit down, I'm getting up. I look the best, and the stars are the most beautiful!"

Jiang Erya and Jiang Erniu looked at each other, smiling triumphantly.

This afternoon, Sha Xing surrounded Jiang Erya all the time, intentionally or unintentionally posing some poses that he thought were good-looking, like a peacock spreading its tail, constantly attracting Jiang Erya's attention.

Jiang Erya rubbed her forehead and smiled sullenly from time to time.

At first, Jiang Erniu thought it was fun to watch it, but after watching it too much, he found it boring.

Rather than looking at fools at home, it is better to look at the seeds in the field.

Jiang Erya waited for Jiang Erniu to go far away, then hugged the cute silly Xing Xingxing, kissed him on the forehead, and said, "Don't worry, I won't throw you out, in my eyes, you The most beautiful, the whole world is not as good-looking as you!"

Silly star touched his forehead, and smiled with the corners of his lips curled up...

As the days passed, more and more foreign grain merchants came to Qingjiang County to sell grain.

Wei Zhentian simply led the people from Heifengzhai to set up a checkpoint on the only way for grain merchants from other places, clearly marked the price, and collected "tolls".

It's best to obediently pay the money. If you don't pay the money, you have to keep your life and food!
Foreign grain merchants had no choice but to pay to keep themselves safe.Fortunately, Heifengzhai didn't charge too much. The grain merchants still made some money after running the business, excluding the "tolls".

There are many grain merchants from other places, and all of them want to sell the grain they brought as soon as possible and return home with money.

One grain merchant lowered the price and sold it, and several others quickly followed suit, and each lowered it lower than the other.

Just like that, the grain price in Qingjiang County dropped.

From the peak of 43 Wen per catty, it has dropped to [-] Wen per catty.

The previous wave of out-of-town grain merchants cleared their goods and left with the money.The next wave of grain merchants from other places came with grain!
Zhao Wenchang saw the right time, and when the price of grain dropped to ten cents a catty, he used the raised relief money to buy [-] shi of grain, stored it in the official warehouse, and reserved it for disaster relief.

With the departure of the last wave of foreign grain merchants, grain prices in Qingjiang County have picked up again.

However, the disaster victims who can afford to buy food have already bought food, and those who cannot afford it will still not be able to afford it.

The market is saturated, and no one will buy it even if those gentry and wealthy households in Qingjiang County want to monopolize it...

If grain merchants from other places do not come, the checkpoints set up by Heifengzhai will not be able to receive "tolls".Wei Zhentian decided to withdraw him.

He also ordered the military adviser: "Arrange a few people to go to the city to buy some good wine and food. Let's celebrate in the evening, and then we will make statistics on the money we have earned recently and share it with the brothers."

The military division happily agreed, and immediately arranged for people to go to the city to buy...

Before the six people in charge of purchasing from Heifengzhai reached the gate of Qingjiang County, they met a little girl guarding two carts on the side of a trail.

The little girl looks so pretty, and even if the big boss and the military adviser don't like her appearance, the second boss and the third boss will also like it.

If several masters don't like it, they can keep it for themselves!

Moreover, on the two carts guarded by the little girl, one cart is full of fragrant wine, and the other cart is live chickens and ducks in cages. These are exactly the things they need to buy on this trip.

The six bandits exchanged glances with each other, and the one with the most honest and honest face stepped forward to strike up a conversation.

"Little girl, what are you doing here alone? Are these two cars yours?"

Jiang Erya nodded timidly, and said: "My father and I went to the city to sell the goods. When we got here, my father found that he had left something behind and didn't bring it, so he went back to pick it up. He asked me to stay here and guard the goods until he came back." .”

The "honest" bandit nodded and said, "So that's the case. I can smell the wine from your house is very fragrant, can you scoop some out for us to taste?

It just so happens that we are going to the city to buy wine. If it tastes good, we will buy your carload of wine. The price is whatever you want, how about it? "

Jiang Erya exclaimed in surprise: "Is what you said true? It tastes good, and the price is whatever I want?"

The bandit nodded.

Jiang Erya quickly patted open a jar of wine, and took the wine bucket to make wine for the bandit.

The bandit walked around behind Jiang Erya, stretched out his hand suddenly, covered Jiang Erya's mouth, gagged her, and tied her up with a rope...
