Chapter 116: Chapter 116
Chapter 116 116 Increased livelihood
A group of young adults left the village, which made the atmosphere in the whole village very depressed for a few days.
However, as time went by, some thoughts and worries were gradually hidden in my heart. I could only think of them in the dead of night after a busy day, and couldn't help but sigh and pray.
There is no way, life has to go on, poor people, open their eyes every day to work, not to eat.
This year, Sanhe Village almost had to sell its sons and daughters again because of the floods. Fortunately, because of Pei Sheng, taxes were exempted.
But even so, the grain of that season will not come back, and the harvest of grain replanted later will also be unsatisfactory.
The yield of crops in ancient times was already low. Now, no matter how unsatisfactory the harvest is, you can imagine how low the yield will be.
Qi Qi was speechless when she saw the rice chestnuts sent by Yang Daqing.
Yang Daqing said with some embarrassment, "Master, it's not that I don't do my best, it's just that the replanting was a little late. Fortunately, the weather is still hot this autumn, otherwise, I might not even get this little harvest."
"I know, and I don't mean to blame you." Qi Qi interrupted him with a smile, "As the saying goes, when you hit a snake, you have to hit it at the seventh inch, and crops are planted at the solar terms. Although I don't know how to plant, I also know how to do it. The necessity of seasonal planting.”
"Well, that's the truth. The boss knows his stuff." Yang Daqing nodded repeatedly, "This flood, we dare to replant, it is actually a gamble. The experience passed down from generation to generation, we can still try our best to make a living. Fortunately, This year's autumn tigers are even more powerful than in previous years. Although the harvest looks a little smaller this time, at least there is a harvest, and you don't have to pay taxes. You can keep it all, which is more than what is left after paying taxes."
"Gordon fruit?" Yang Daqing didn't know what it was, but he didn't ask more. He just asked, "Where is it?"
She is really capable of doing something. Only by increasing the production of grain can the people benefit from it. At the very least, it must ensure that they have enough to eat.
But they can work together. If there are many brothers, they can buy it together.
Seeing the harvest on the ground, Qi Qi thought that the chicken head rice in her small pond had not yet been confiscated, "Uncle, I need to trouble you to collect the gorgon seeds for me."
There were too many things going on every day, and she was not at home in August and September, so she naturally forgot about this piece of wealth.
Why is everyone so excited?
Because there are oysters, there is definitely a need for boatmen. For farmers who dig food in the fields, going to the town to find part-time jobs and doing coolies in their spare time is an important way to increase the source of income for the family. Unfortunately, there are too many monks and too little gruel. There are not many people who work part-time. There is no way, and no one will pay attention to you at all.
Qi Qi stood at the door of his house, looking at the dense crowd on the embankment and feeling numb. He didn't want anyone to be squeezed down accidentally...
The village chief also said that families with extra money can buy their own boats, and the boat can be used by them.
The village chief was in pain and happiness.
"Everyone, please go back first. This matter is not something I can decide on my own. This boat was purchased by several of our families. We will inform everyone after we have discussed the charter together. Okay, let's go back."
Qi Qi led people to the small water pool and found that the gordon leaves inside had withered. She slapped her head and said in annoyance, "It's over, it's over. It's past the picking season. This gorgon leaf is also a medicinal herb. It's best to pick it in June." Okay, I missed it too. Hey, let’s wait until next year.”
But the people on the boat are all novices. Being a boatman is not that easy, and fishing is not that easy either. You can’t do it without some skills.
Not everyone can afford a small boat, especially since they just paid the military service exemption silver, and now there are really not many families with enough money.
Taxes, yes. In ancient times, farmers got up early every day and worked hard to grow food. Not all of it was their own. They also had to pay taxes. Tenants were even worse off. There were also rents. How much could they really keep in their hands?
There were so many people that the village chief finally invited them all out. At the same time, he called several shareholders together to discuss the matter.
Waves of people rushed to the embankment to watch the excitement, and the entire embankment was packed with people.
Qi Qi didn't go, she already had a lot on her plate, so she didn't want to get involved in this matter.
On the way back, she was afraid that something would happen next year or she would forget it, so she simply told Yang Daqing the picking methods and precautions for the gorgon seeds.
"Xiao Dezi, is there any way to improve grain varieties in the system? Exchange all the books on scientific planting for me."
In this way, after some operations, five more boats were added to the pier.
"I want something that is long-lasting, can be promoted, and is in line with the practical methods of today's society. Do I need to travel all over the country to spread something like spiritual liquid? Okay, let me study the agricultural books before talking about it."
"Yes, it has been redeemed and placed in the system space." The system did not talk nonsense this time. It was done immediately and actively helped recommend it, "Xiao Qiqi, in the future technology plane, there is someone who can improve grain types.
Do you want some cultivation fluid? There is spiritual fluid in the cultivation plane. Sprinkle a few drops on it to ensure a rapid increase in production."
After finishing one thing, Qi Qi began to calm down and study agriculture books, seed cultivation, grain production increase, pest control, interplanting combination, and excerpted the useful methods one by one. When spring comes next year, he can start
experiment.
Suddenly, the village chief's family was filled with people.
In fact, it is the same at all times and in all countries.
At this point, the villagers of Sanhe Village have an additional livelihood of fishing.
The rich are so rich that they can't help but the poor are so poor.
In a feudal society, she is a little girl with little words and little power. What can she do?
As soon as the boat docked at the dike wharf in Sanhe Village, there was a sensation both inside and outside the village.
At this time, the strong laborers in the village came to visit the village chief one after another, hoping to seek this position.
How to change this situation?
Qi Qi thought.
Finally, I heard about the results of the selection from others and found that the village chief was quite good. Except for the shareholders, each family could nominate one of their own, and the rest were selected from poor households in the village.
"Come on, let's go take a look at the small water pool over there at the ancestral home."
Oops, as soon as these words came out, the excitement started again.
While Qi Qi was studying hard, several people in Sanhe Village bought a scorpion together, and several small boats came back with the scorpion.
Yang Daqing's eyes lit up as he spoke, obviously satisfied with this harvest.
However, the learning ability of the ancients was still very strong, and they were able to endure hardships, work hard, and study hard.
Some people specially carry things to ask the old fisherman for advice, and some people go to the river to watch others fishing. Slowly and unconsciously, they have become qualified boatmen and fishermen.
The river is rich in aquatic products. As long as you are willing to work hard and endure hardships, you will always be rewarded.
The neighboring villages saw that Sanhe Village was getting better and better, and they couldn't help but get interested and followed suit. Finally, more and more small boats were parked at the pier of Sanhe Village, and the small pier was expanded into the middle pier.
