After the whole network was hacked, she traveled through the small fishing village of Datang

Chapter 35: Exchange money, buy land and build a house
Su Qingqing, who had become valuable, was quickly accepted by the Tian clan leader, who even allocated a piece of wasteland for Su Qingqing to build a house, just east of the Zhang family's home.

Fertile land on the coast is scarce, but it is not difficult to acquire an entire homestead site.

As for buying fertile land, it is more difficult, and it is not easy to use money.After all, if you don’t have farmland these days, you’ll be hungry. Who would be willing to sell their farmland if they’re not at the end of their rope?

As for the wasteland that can be cultivated, to be honest, there is no such land at all.Xunzhou in Lingnan is completely a narrow township because of its many mountains, water and little land.Landlords don’t even have much land, let alone ordinary people.

Fortunately, the sweet potatoes, potatoes and corn brought by Su Qingqing can all be planted on the mountains.

There is no flat farmland, but there are still quite a lot of undeveloped mountainous areas.

Limited by technology and grain problems, the utilization rate of slopes in mountains is not high.

Su Qingqing proposed to Village Chief Tian to buy the unowned slope land in the back mountain to open up wasteland for farming, and the other party agreed after some thought.She even proposed that as long as she could grow something on the mountain land, the land would be hers without spending any money.

But Su Qingqing didn't agree. What she brought was high-yielding grain seeds produced by modern technology, and they could definitely be grown.In order to avoid future disputes, she felt more at ease spending money to go through the procedures.

Although Su Qingqing did not have coins from the Tang Dynasty, the modern silk crepe satin she brought back came in handy and could be used as money.

In the Tang Dynasty, due to problems with mining technology, gold, silver, and copper were relatively scarce, and silver was basically not circulated as currency.

As for the most widely used copper coins, due to the overall quantity problem, it is not enough for ordinary people's daily circulation, so grain and silk are in circulation as supplementary currencies.

In the early Tang Dynasty, due to the land equalization system and the "renting and adjustment" tax system, the main levy was grain and silk, and the payment of civil servants' salaries and military expenditures was also replaced by grain and silk.

After the Two Taxes Law came into power, taxes were changed from physical goods such as "grain and silk" to monetary collection twice a year.

However, due to insufficient money and the love of ordinary people and foreign businessmen to hoard copper coins, there were fewer coins circulating in the market.

In order to pay taxes, the people had to sell off their grain and silk at a depreciated value, causing public resentment.After a period of time, grain and silk naturally resumed their function as currency.

There is no way, it is really gold, silver and copper, it is really not enough!

The silk crepe satin Su Qingqing bought in modern times has a width of 140 centimeters, while the silk fabrics of the Tang Dynasty were limited by the loom, and the width was generally between 50 and 60 centimeters. This can be confirmed by unearthed cultural relics.

As for the length, it is also different. A modern piece of cloth is about ten feet long, one foot is 3.33 meters, and the total is about 33.33 meters.

The silk of the Tang Dynasty was four feet long, and one foot is 3.07 meters today, which means that four feet was only 12.28 meters.

Comparing the two, the gap is huge.

Therefore, the 16 mm (gram weight) pure silk crepe satin made of 100% mulberry silk that Su Qingqing brought was equivalent to eight or nine pieces of Tang Dynasty silk in terms of area.

She also specially selected the bright red color that was the favorite and most popular color for making pomegranate skirts among the Tang Dynasty people. Coupled with the unique width of 140 centimeters and the numerous buffs, its value can be imagined.

Relying on this piece of modern silk crepe satin, it should not be a problem for Su Qingqing to settle down, buy land, and build a house.

In the Tang Dynasty, the lowest value of a piece of silk was one or two hundred cents, and the highest value was four pieces per piece.

It is now 848, the second year of Emperor Xuanzong's reign in the Tang Dynasty. The information found by Su Qingqing in modern times shows that the current value of a piece of silk is about one thousand cash.

That is, the piece of silk crepe satin in her hand, the lower limit is eight or nine thousand yuan, and the upper limit is hard to say. It is dyed so well in bright red, and the width is so large. If you meet a rich man, it may be doubled.What's more, in addition to silk, she also has dried meat and rice and millet in her hand, which can also be used as money.

This morning, Mrs. Zhang put aside her work to help Su Qingqing complete the relationship between Chen Lizheng and the Tian clan leader (also the head of the small fishing village), and initially implemented the issues of Su Qingqing's household registration, homestead, and land purchase. It can be said that he made a great contribution.

Anyway, before Su Qingqing's house was built, she must have teamed up with the Zhang family.

She has decided to donate all her pork breasts, air-dried beef, rice, millet, etc., so that their family of three can eat!

Eating dry food is a must!She's had enough gruel!
After thinking about what to do next, Su Qingqing started to take action.The first thing is to exchange the modern silk and crepe satin in your hand for coins and silk of the Tang Dynasty as soon as possible to facilitate various expenditures.

So Zhang had to run around with Su Qingqing in the afternoon.

Regarding the rice blast, Zhang had already mentioned it to Chief Tian as soon as he came back.

But because the small fishing village has very little fertile land, and most of it is owned by fishermen and villagers, the leader of the Tian clan is not worried.

If the rice fields here are also infected, then the worst thing is to go fishing and eat seafood to tide over the difficulties. You won't starve to death.

As for the bankers, there is no land at all, so the landowners can just worry about the rice blast.

Having said that, there should still be a ceremony to send off the gods, and we cannot be completely indifferent.

After seeing off Zhang and Su Qingqing, Chief Tian convened representatives from various families in the village to start a mobilization meeting in front of the Spring Plague God.

Su Qingqing and Mrs. Zhang returned to their residence, took Su Qingqing's piece of red silk, and went straight to Yaliao Villa.

In these ten miles and eight villages, the one who has the ability to digest Su Qingqing's silk is the owner of Yaliao Villa.

As for lunch?In Zhang's habit, that is something that is ignored!

No matter how busy she is with her own affairs, Su Qingqing can no longer be pretentious and force her to make lunch.

Fortunately, I brought more dried meat this time. Before I went out, I grabbed a handful of Fujian pork jerky and prairie air-dried beef jerky for lunch.

She also gave Zhang a lot of help. The other party wanted to politely give in to her, but he couldn't give in at all. Su Qingqing's strength has evolved now!

The straight-line distance from the small fishing village to Yaliu Villa is actually not that far, less than one mile, but it is not a mile on flat ground, but over mountains and ridges!

Anyone who has climbed a mountain knows that if you look at the mountain road very close to you, it will take a long time to complete the climb.The so-called Wangshan race to death is exactly like this.

The mountain road leading to the official road from Yaliao Villa towards the county seat was repaired at a large cost.After walking out of the mountain gate, you can ride a horse or even a carriage.

But no one has bothered to repair the road leading from the remote seaside fishing village to Yaliu Villa. It is all a path made by the villagers themselves every day, and it is very difficult to navigate due to the potholes.

Su Qingqing hugged the cloth and followed Zhang, basking in the sun as she walked.I didn’t eat lunch. If it weren’t for the beef jerky I was chewing, my energy would have been exhausted.
