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

Chapter 16: Sang Ma

When Chen Yixuan said that he wanted to rent twenty acres of land, Chen Feiyan asked with concern.

"How much rent does Landlord Zhang charge?"

Chen Yixuan gestured with three fingers. "Last year it was [-]%. In the spring of this year, landlord Zhang asked a fortune teller to read Feng Shui and he said that the weather would be good this year and there would be a bumper harvest. His family has increased the rent, and this year the rent will be [-]%."

"Pay [-]% to landlord Zhang, and we will pay another [-]% to [-]% of land tax to the government. In the end, there is still [-]% left..."

"What? You mean, if we become tenant farmers, we have to pay [-]% of the rent?" Chen Feiyan was completely shocked by such a high tax rate.

Chen Yixuan nodded.

"My family has a small labor force and can only cultivate more than 20 acres of land at most. One acre of wheat can yield 180 catties, and a smaller field can harvest 150 catties. The harvest from 20 acres of land is almost 3000 catties. I pay 1000%. , we still have about [-] kilograms left.”

After hearing this, Chen Feiyan immediately counted on her fingers.

"But more than 1000 kilograms of grain have to be managed by our family 365 days a year. On average, our daily ration is two and a half kilograms. Can two and a half kilograms feed eight people?"

Chen Yixuan shook his head: "No. So, we have to order a variety of vegetables in the yard."

"This radish is quite filling. This is what our family will eat from now on."

Chen Feiyan turned her head a few times and then spoke.

"How about we raise a few chickens, ducks and geese?"

"Anyway, the fourth, fifth, and daughter are only so old and can't go out. They watch the chickens, ducks and geese at home every day, so they can definitely raise them well."

"Besides, I also want to raise pigs now..."

"There is a lot of pigweed on the mountains, so you don't need to spend extra food to raise pigs. If the pigs are raised at home for a few years, they grow to several hundred pounds, and then they are dragged to the county town and sold, they should be able to get several taels of silver!"

Hearing this, Chen Yixuan was also moved.

It's a pity that the family can't afford to buy a piglet for the time being.Unless he sells the relics his mother left him.

But that thing was the most important thing that my mother had before she died. She also said that her natal sister had married into Zhang County Cheng's family. If he couldn't survive in the future, he might as well try to find refuge with that aunt.

Thinking of those old things from the past, Chen Yixuan mentioned it to Chen Feiyan.

When Chen Feiyan heard that his family still had this relationship, her eyes immediately lit up.

I thought to myself, isn’t this a pillow for me when I’m sleeping? !
Since there is such a relationship, you might as well give it a try!

Anyway, how will you know the result if you don’t try it.You won’t be deceived if you try it.

After the idea came to her mind, Chen Feiyan quietly persuaded the man next to her.

"Dad, our family's life is getting worse day by day. Now that your illness has just improved, you want to rent 20 acres of land from a big landlord. I can't wait to pick up the hoe and go to help you. It's a pity. …”

With that said, Chen Feiyan raised her hand and pretended to wipe away her tears.

As soon as Chen Feiyan played the emotional card, Chen Yixuan felt that his chest was heavy, as if he couldn't breathe.

"Yanniang, it's me who made you suffer!"

Chen Feiyan grabbed his hand and shook her head.

"Don't say such things. I am lucky to have children with you in this life. It's a pity that we haven't had any good luck in the past few years, nor have we met any good people. Let them support us. .”

Speaking of this, Chen Feiyan made a point.

"But don't mention it. Those wealthy people who have no worries about food and clothing, if you just pluck a hair from their legs, they are thicker than our waists! It would be great if we could ask them for help and help in emergencies."

After hearing this, Chen Yixuan sighed suddenly and looked troubled.

"Daughter-in-law, you don't know something. My mother's sister married into Zhang County Cheng's family that day and was also the concubine of his eldest son. Now that decades have passed, I don't know where Zhang County Cheng's family is now. Where is my aunt? Is she still there..."

After hearing this, Chen Feiyan still didn't want to let go of this opportunity.

"Don't say such depressing words. I see that you are tall and talented, so your mother must have been pretty good-looking when she was still alive. Your aunt is your mother's sister, which means your aunt is not bad either. She can marry If she enters a wealthy family like the county magistrate, she may already have a great fortune. How about you ask more about her next time you go to the county town to sell things?" "After all, this is a family, isn't it? "

When Chen Yixuan saw that she really wanted to marry her, he thought about it and nodded.

He also made up his mind that regardless of whether his aunt was still alive or not, the next time he went to the county town, he would pawn the gold-plated ring that his mother left him.

How much money you can pawn is how much money you can get.

If he had enough money, he would buy a piglet for his wife.If you don't have enough money, buy some geese and chickens.Let the goose take care of the house and let the chicken grow meat.

……

The next morning, Chen Yixuan took his two sons, Xiao Yi and Er, out.

They planned to find a landlord Zhang to share twenty acres of land.

People in Chenjiacun saw Chen Yixuan, who had not been seen for more than ten days, full of energy and saying hello to everyone he saw. They all started to frown.It's a pity that Chen Yixuan is not dead yet.

"Shuanzi, what are you going to do?"

Chen Yixuan looked back and saw that it was the old village chief. He immediately smiled and said.

"Mr. Kang Taigong, I plan to find Landlord Zhang to rent a few acres of land today."

The old village chief took the dry cigarette bag and tapped it lightly on his back. "How many acres of land do you plan to rent from Zhang Da Landlord this year?"

Chen Yixuan stretched out two fingers and said, "I plan to rent another 20 acres."

"So many tenants?" The old village chief looked at Chen Yixuan's body carefully.

Seeing that he was nearly nine feet tall, taller than everyone in the same village, and seeing that Chen Xiaoyi and the others next to him seemed to have grown taller recently, he nodded and said, "Shuanzi, you... In a few years, my two sons will probably be like you, and they will suddenly grow taller."

Chen Yixuan smiled and did not respond.

When the old village chief saw that he wanted to touch his bottom as usual, he just pretended to be stupid with him. His old face looked a little uneasy, so he immediately waved his hand to him and said impatiently.

"Okay, okay, I won't delay you anymore, just hurry up and go to Landlord Zhang's house!"

Landlord Zhang's family lives in Zhangjiabao, which is nearly [-] miles away on the mountain road!

Go out in the morning and arrive in the afternoon.

By the time the father and son and the housekeeper of Landlord Zhang's house finished the matter, it was already dark when they came back.

As soon as Chen Feiyan waited for the father and son to leave, she immediately sat on the kang, closed her eyes, and prepared to start the simulator for the third time.

"Hello! I want to start the life simulator!"

When the familiar button appeared in front of her, Chen Feiyan raised her hand without hesitation and pressed it gently in the air.

Soon, the hundreds of billions of tiny gears in the life simulator began to move.
