How to survive in poverty: I use a simulator to farm

Chen Feiyan smiled and said: "I know I have no experience in this area, but people have to explore. We have a long time to come, so let's take our time."

Chen Yixuan was not going to hurt her self-confidence, so he nodded and said: "Daughter-in-law, you are right, let's take it slow. If there is any good news in the family in the future, we will save it bit by bit."

After saying this, he suddenly frowned again: "Daughter-in-law, you have been busy making clothes for me recently. When will you buy yourself a set of thick down jackets like this?"

Chen Feiyan smiled and said, "I'm going to do it now!"

"I plan to make all the clothes for our family before winter this year."

She kept all the shed feathers from the ten geese and two ducks she raised at home.

Moreover, the geese in her home molt once a year. As time goes by, more and more goose feathers will be accumulated at home.

Her family will definitely not have to worry about goose-feather clothes in the future.

Thinking of this, Chen Feiyan couldn't help but share the good news with her husband in front of her.

After hearing this, Chen Yixuan also smiled happily: "Then our family really doesn't have to worry about being frozen in the future!"

Chen Feiyan smiled and nodded: "Yes!"

Not to mention, it's quite cold here. Chen Feiyan once suspected that the place where she was staying now was equivalent to modern Inner Mongolia.

Maybe the latitude here is higher than Inner Mongolia.

The winter here is extremely cold.

Weather temperatures of [-] to [-] degrees below zero are not unusual at all.

Chen Feiyan heard from Chen Yixuan a few days ago that a white disaster occurred in their area decades ago and lasted for several months.

The family raised cattle, sheep, horses, pigs, donkeys, etc., but those who were not led inside the house were basically frozen to death outside.

Even those people... as long as they live in a house without a kang, there are many who are buried in heavy snow at night.

Thinking of her golden finger - the life simulator reminded her that this year's winter will be earlier than in previous years. And this year is a very cold winter. Chen Feiyan couldn't help but tell Chen Yixuan: "Dad, don't sell any of the food we grow this year!"

"There are also those sorghum straws. We have to tie them up and put them neatly under the eaves of our house. This thing is built high and can keep out the wind and rain. It is also good. Another thing is that it is a pig. Something the pigs love to eat.”

Chen Yixuan knew that his wife had her own opinions on living arrangements and raising pigs.

Moreover, my daughter-in-law is really good at raising pigs.

She can raise a piglet weighing seven or eight kilograms to more than 180 kilograms in one year, earning several taels of money for the family. It has to be said that this is one of her great abilities.

Thinking of this, Chen Yixuan said very cooperatively: "Okay! Wife, starting from today, while it's not raining outside, I will take a few children and pile up the sorghum poles and other things neatly."

Chen Yixuan is a thoughtful person and is very careful in everything he does.

He piled sorghum poles and other things in a neat pile. Especially beautiful.

Soon, the poles of wheat and soybeans were piled neatly by Chen Feiyan’s family.

It was difficult for rural people in ancient times to survive the winter.

During this busy farming season, no one in the village dares to be lazy. Even those cowardly old bachelors, as long as they don't deliberately seek death, they are all busy with their hands and feet in the air. There was no thought of anything else.

By the time most of the farmers in this area took home the wheat and soybeans, The housekeeper and accountant sent by Landlord Zhang, as well as the Yamen servants and clerks who collected grain taxes, all came unexpectedly.

This time it was the familiar old people who came to collect the money. Especially Mr. Chen Feiyan, who showed his favor to Chen Feiyan last year.

As soon as they arrived, they looked for the village chief Chen Qiliang.

The village chief Chen Qiliang, whether intentionally or unintentionally, actually sent his youngest son to specially invite Chen Yixuan to accompany him.

Chen Yixuan hesitated for a few seconds and then agreed.

So, Yu Wenshu, who was calculating with Chen Qiliang how much money Chenjiacun should pay this year, suddenly saw Chen Yixuan, who impressed him so much that he would never forget it.

He was impressed by him, first because of his size, and secondly because of his wife.

Chen Yixuan is 1 meters tall. Even if he doesn't eat enough, no matter how thin he is, he is still so tall.

What's more, in the past year, whenever Chen Yixuan was at home, Chen Feiyan always adhered to the principle of letting him eat first, so Chen Yixuan gradually grew stronger.

The shoulders, arms, and thighs all have strong and powerful muscles.

As soon as Chen Yixuan entered the courtyard of Chen Qi's family, he felt a strong sense of oppression.

Yu Wenshu looked at him and couldn't help but murmur in his heart: "If this man joins the army, he might really be able to make a name for himself..."

As a member of the government, Yu Wenshu is much more sensitive to information than ordinary people.

The county magistrate and his wife had told him a long time ago that according to the current situation of the empire, next year at the latest, the current emperor would launch an army against the Rouran Empire in the north.

Of course, these are all speculations on their part.

No one knows whether the army will be recruited to fight with Rouran in the north.

However, once the Holy Emperor issues an edict, they Youzhou will have to requisition civilian husbands again.

Their county is now considered a large county. A total of [-] households.

Thirty thousand households... If each household had only one person, there would be thirty thousand people.

There are eight counties in Youzhou. It should be possible to requisition [-] people.

If all [-] people are used as sergeants, the remaining ordinary people will also be requisitioned as civilian laborers to transport food and grass.

Yu Wenwen has been exposed to a lot of confidential documents recently. In the past dynasties, it took ten civilians to transport a cart of grain and grass to ensure a soldier's rations every five days.

Thinking that many people would starve to death and freeze to death during every battle, Yu Wenshu took a deep look at Chen Yixuan, Chen Qiliang and others, and his heart was filled with sympathy.

Sure enough, the people are like grass and grass!

No matter how hard they try to live, they will only become weeds trampled on by others in the end.

Chen Yixuan didn't quite understand Yu Wenshu's expression of compassion, and he didn't understand why he looked at him with admiration at one moment and sympathized with him at the other.

Just as he was thinking about the doorway inside, the village chief Chen Qiliang said: "Master Yu, although the weather is good this year and the grain has been harvested, in the past few years, due to insect plagues, production in our area has been reduced on a large scale, and many households have I borrowed a loan from a big landlord at a high interest rate. No, they have been repaying it for several years, and they still owe a debt... Sir, considering the difficulties faced by ordinary people like us, can you..."

Before Yu Wenshu opened his mouth, a Liu Yamen servant beside him stood up and shouted: "Chen Qiliang, don't talk to us adults about these things! You said that the common people are in trouble, Then let me ask you, whose family is not in difficulty now?"

"Our yamen is now living with our belts tightened! It's difficult for you, but it's not difficult for us?!"
