Cute little peasant girl: Love me through the family group!

Smelling the tempting aroma in the air, the barbarians have long been eyeing the dragon and phoenix. This soup is really fragrant!

This is cooked by the county magistrate himself!Must try it soon!
However, no matter how greedy the barbarians are, they have to pay attention to etiquette, not to mention that the ingredients are originally brought by the guests, even if not, the guests must be given priority when eating.

After each of Bai Zhiqing's family had a bowl of dragon and phoenix soup with meat, these barbarians also gave Ah Wu a bowl, and then they started to serve the soup in an orderly manner.

Moreover, they are very measured, with more people and less soup. In order to allow other clansmen to taste the soup cooked by the county magistrate, each of them only filled a little bit and tasted it.

Thanks to Bai Zhiqing's pot of dragon and phoenix, there is not much meat, but the soup is very rich, so that all the people in the village can taste a small sip.

With just this one bite, Bai Zhiqing won the hearts of the people of Nanxuan Zake Village with his cooking skills.

He also didn't expect that the cooking skills he had practiced to please his wife would blossom here.

The food on the table continued to decrease. Although Bai Zhiqing was not full, he stopped his chopsticks first. He followed Ah Wu and the others to this stockade this time, not for the sake of eating.

At this time, everyone is having a good time, and it is a good time to ask questions.

Bai Zhiqing smiled and looked at the crowd before asking Ah Wu, "Old man, how many people are there in the stockade? I don't think there is much land outside the village. Is the grain produced enough for the people in the stockade?"

After eating a bowl of soup that Bai Zhiqing cooked himself, Ah Wu was completely convinced by him. Now that he was concerned about the people's livelihood in the stockade, he was moved to tears.

Ah Wu stretched out his old hand and patted the back of Bai Zhiqing's hand, and said moved: "Lord County Magistrate, you are so kind to the wahs, you are really a good official. Wow, I am so happy, wows finally got a good county magistrate. ! …”

Ah Wu boasted for a long time before coming to the main topic, "Wow, the village is really poor, and there is not enough to eat. There are 220 people in the village including the newborn babies. But the land is only 96 mu .”

Awu was afraid that the county magistrate would think they were lazy, and added: "It's not because they don't want to open up farmland. You can also see that the land on the side is not suitable for wasteland."

Bai Zhiqing nodded in agreement. Although he is not good at farming, he can still see whether the land can be opened or not.

The valley where Nanxuanzha Kezhai is located has only such a large area. If you want to open up wasteland, there is no place to open it. You can’t flatten the mountain for farming. Besides, the mountain is not suitable for farming.

96 mu of land is indeed very small. Considering the population of the village, the per capita land is less than half an mu.

Bai Zhiqing stayed in Baijia Village for two years. Although he is not good at farming, he has some understanding of farming. Based on the annual ration of an adult, he needs four mu of land to support him. If taxes are added, he needs five mu of land to support one people.

But the per capita land in this stockade is less than half an mu, which is really poor.

It's just... Bai Zhiqing looked at the dining table. Although the barbarians in the stockade were not fat, none of them were so hungry that they were skinny.

Inexplicable: "Since there are so few farmlands, what do the people in the stockade eat?"

Ah Wu sighed, "I rely on the mountains to eat the mountains. There are many animals in the mountains, especially snakes. Wow, you can eat snake meat almost every day. You can also catch a few fish occasionally. I've eaten bananas, and that thing is very satisfying, and there are many in the forest, and it is also the main food of wow."

Bananas are also the bananas of later generations. The barbarians pick the bananas and steam them to eat. They are fragrant, sweet and glutinous. They are very delicious. Yaya just ate several of them.

Bai Zhiqing nodded, the mountains and forests in Lizhou are indeed rich in species, and relying on the mountains to eat the mountains is indeed a good way to survive.

But if you just have enough to eat, the stockade will always be like this, it will never develop or progress, and the barbarians can only always struggle to survive on the line of food and clothing.

He believed that the barbarian ancestors lived the same life, and these people are not necessarily better off than their ancestors now.

Life is not to survive, to be born to live, to live a personal life, to live a better life.

It's just that Bai Zhiqing couldn't think of a good way to improve the living conditions of the local people for a while, so he could only ask: "There is not much land suitable for cultivation here. Have you considered moving to another place to live?"

Ah Wu shook his head.

"Wow, don't move! This is the root of the wow! Besides, the outside is not necessarily better than the wah's stockade. The ancestors of the wah built the stockade here because of their ancestors."

It is undeniable that what Ah Wu said makes sense.

Lizhou is full of mountains, where can you go if you move out of this valley?Another valley?Or move out of Aba County or out of Lizhou?
Not to mention the fact that he is far away from his hometown, as a county magistrate, he cannot always drive out the people under his rule.

It was precisely because what Ah Wu said made sense that Bai Zhiqing felt bald for a while, and it was not easy to lead the people out of poverty and become rich.

Making money is really not his forte, and now he is only good at growing cotton and selling cotton cloth.

It's a pity that Lizhou has less cultivated land, and its own environment is not suitable for growing cotton. The humidity is heavy, and the forest is too dense, resulting in low light for low plants, and cotton is the plant that needs light the most.

Bai Zhiqing misses his good son very much at the moment. It would be great if Bai Molin was also here. With his economic mind, he would definitely be able to come up with a good way to make money.

Bai Zhiqing thought about it carefully, and there are only three things he can do at the moment. First, let Yaya improve grain varieties and increase the yield of grain per mu; It is an effort to downplay the barbarian's notoriety of brutality, and even change the people in other states' view of the barbarian, attracting outsiders to develop Lizhou.

But the third point is not something that can be done overnight. It is a long process and one that requires the cooperation of his son.

If you want to attract outsiders, you must have enough interest to lure them. If the people of Lizhou can produce competitive products, there will be people who "take risks" under the drive of profit.

It's just that based on what he knows about Nanxuan Zakezhai, they don't have any competitive industries.

Economic development is difficult!

I just hope that my son has dealt with the textile, industrial and spinning matters properly, and can come to join his family after the college examination and become his master.

Bai Molin, who was conducting a surprise inspection of the textile industry of the small farm, sneezed.

Lin Zhu said in a dog-legged manner, "It must be the master and the lady who miss the son."

Bai Molin didn't lift his eyelids, and said lightly, "It's just too much cotton wool."

Although he said so, in his heart he was willing to believe Lin Zhu's words.

He didn't know if his family missed him, but he did miss them a little.

It's really strange, they were just four strangers, and they really became relatives when they were everywhere.

In two days, the college exam will be held. After the college exam is over and the results come out, he will go to Lizhou to find them.

Without him, he was afraid that his father would not be able to get along in Lizhou.

It is no problem to let his father decide the case and arrest the bad guys, but let his father develop the economy and improve the people's livelihood is still a little worse.

I don't know what happened to them after they arrived in Aba County. Are they used to eating?Are subordinates in the county government useful?
