Chapter 50 Autumn Harvest
Donglin Kingdom has just experienced war and is in a state of ruins. Because too many people died, a large amount of land lost its owner overnight and became wasteland and unclaimed land.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince proposed the equal-field system, and then the Zuo Xiang perfected the equal-field system.

The land equalization system is to distribute wasteland and unoccupied land to poor and lower-middle peasants who do not have land.

For poor people facing the east, a man who reaches the age of 15 will be granted one hectare of land, of which [-] mu is Yongye farmland and [-] mu is koufen farmland.

Yongye farmland can be inherited without paying taxes, and it can also be bought and sold. However, the distribution of farmland not only requires paying taxes, but also has rigid regulations on what kind of food to grow, and it must be returned to the country after death.

Koubuntian can only grow grains, that is, rice, wheat, millet, soybeans, sweet potatoes, etc., mainly plant seeds and fruits.

The Lu family has a lot of land, but they are still poor enough to eat land.

There are several main reasons. There are too many taxes, low yields, and endless planting. The land is randomly allocated. There is no good land allocated, and it is difficult to produce food. Therefore, many people will sell Yongyetian in order to pay taxes. .

There are four men in the Lu family, with a total of 320 mu of Yongye farmland and [-] mu of Koufen farmland.

Because the family was living in hardship, they sold [-] mu of Yongye farmland, and now there are only [-] mu of Yongye farmland, all of which are barren wasteland or mountainous land, and only dozens of mu of sweet potatoes and soybeans are planted to maintain their livelihood.

Some time ago, soybeans and sorghum were harvested, and now we have to harvest corn, and finally sweet potatoes. After harvesting these crops, it is almost the autumnal equinox, which is the season for planting wheat.

The old lady refused to let Lu Jiu go to the ground, because Lu Jiu had never done so before, but Lu Jiu insisted that with her strength, she was definitely a good hand at growing crops.

Lu Jiu begged the old lady for a long time before the old lady let go and let Lu Jiu break corn in the field with the children.

The old lady was still worried, so she called Dalang to the side again, and told him not to make the old lady tired, otherwise, be careful with your skin.

The wound on Lu Jiu's head has scabbed over, but it does not hinder her work, but it is easy to leave scars if she is not careful. Lu Jiu has applied medicine every day, and the condition is good or bad, but she does not have points to buy medicine now.

However, Qian Qian sent her a task, as long as she participated in the autumn harvest, she would get a bottle of ointment for removing scars.

When Lu Jiu arrived in the field, he could see the greenery at a glance. Because the seeds were not good, basically there was only one corn stick, and there were almost no double sticks.

The corn breakers include Lu Jiu, the Zhao family, 13-year-old Dalang and ten-year-old Erlang, Lu Sidong and the old lady used the land to transport the corn home, and the rest Lu Dachun and Lu Sanqiu carried sickles Cutting the corn stalks, the corn stalks can be fed to cattle and sheep, and can also be dried and used as firewood. Under Lu Jiu's strong request, Mrs. Sun stayed at home and watched the children cook. As for the little ones under the age of five, they helped to load the car , or to deliver water and meals to the adults.

Because the corn leaves are very sharp, it is too easy to scratch the face, so Lu Jiu also asked Sun to make a lot of masks with the leftover cloth from making clothes.

Although Lu Jiu had never done farm work, she moved quickly, using both hands, and soon overtook Da Lang.

Da Lang couldn't see Lu Jiu, so he thought she was going to be lazy, and didn't say anything, but wanted to finish the work quickly and help Lu Jiu, and Zhao was sitting in the shade and lazy, the mother and son almost quarreled , and didn't notice that the corn sticks in Lu Jiu's row had been broken off, leaving only the corn stalks.

 Third more.
