Chapter Fifty-Nine: Life in Guanzhong (Ask for Collection)

"Boss, come and eat, this is a sea fish transported by Qi State. "A-Niang sandwiched a big piece for her eldest son. Qi dried sea fish, the taste is not good, it is good to eat occasionally, but it is very popular with them, no matter how bad it is, it is meat for them to be able to eat meat a few times a year, not to mention that it also brings a lot of salt, and it is a rare boutique on the table covered with grains.

"A-Niang, I'm not hungry. Give it to Brother. The Boss said. Every year, when the spring is not good, it is the time when many families have little food reserves, and some families are not able to support the next harvest season, and they are frugal and frugal. Today, because he cooked food for two or three days at home, the boss was moved and ashamed.

When the second brother heard this, he was not polite, the eldest brother is so good, he must be compensated for beating himself in the morning. You're welcome, just come to the bowl and clip it. Since I came back from Xianyang, my family has not eaten anything decent, and today I have a rare meal comparable to eating in the forge.

"Eat, eat, eat, know to eat, take the dishes and chopsticks and go aside, this is all made for the boss. If you want to eat what your sister Xianyang Wang did, your aunt didn't make it delicious. The old lady drove the second child aside like a food protector.

"It's just that it's not as delicious as Sister Wang's cooking. The second child said stiffly, still holding the bowl and eating hard. Cooking rice as a woman's territory, the most taboo thing is to say another good in front of a woman, even your mother, will be hit like a thunderbolt, not to mention that the second child is not fast enough to die, and often whispers in her ear.

"A-Niang, your skills have improved a lot, and your cooking is delicious. The boss tasted it and said.

"Old man, if you see it, I said that I also learned to cook in an iron pot in Xianyang, and the boss ate it. I'll just say, is the iron pot that Xianyang bought necessary?" said the woman.

"Yes, yes, yes. The old man smiled in disbelief. With hatred, the boss has never entered the factory, and he doesn't know what the food in Huaxialou is like, and your second-rate craftsmanship can fool those who have never entered the factory.

Without saying a few words, the second child finished a bowl of rice and went to the pot to fill a large bowl. The boss was still chewing and slowly seeing this situation, and the boss with his eyes open was a little angry. In his past experience, the family has entered a moment of scarcity, and the second child is so inconsiderate of the family. Eating with a mouthful of nonsense, not to mention dinner, used to drink a bowl of porridge. Wait for tomorrow, you have to find a place to hide and educate, what is filial piety, tonight my father and mother are here, just let him go.

The next day, when the sky was bright, my father and mother got up early, and the other four cooperative households also came over as a family to discuss today's heaven and earth cultivation and distribute farm tools.

The next day, it was getting lighter. Lao Litou's family and the other four neighbors all came to the area that was previously used as a wasteland. In the strange eyes of the boss, the reclamation began, the cattle pulled, the cattle were tired and replaced by people, so that in the morning, the five families in the neighborhood opened up more than 20 acres of wasteland. The family also sprinkled a few bags of seeds, in the eyes of the boss before, this kind of wasteland is not worth cultivating, and the family's grain seeds are not enough to maintain such consumption, from a distance, this wasteland has at least thousands of acres of land, and it seems that his own family does not have such a military exploit to obtain such a vast field. He asked Daddy strangely.

In the Qin State, it is not allowed to use fields for superfluous military exploits, and military exploits match the fields, without military merits, even the excess land for cultivation is not allowed, and severe criminal penalties are imposed, and even punishment is imposed on neighbors.

"Boss, don't worry, our family doesn't have it, Lao Chentou's family has, and the Zeng family, the king has already divided this land to them, our family and them have formed a cooperative, and the partnership planting this piece is only a thousand acres of wheat, which is nothing. Some villages learn from the villages near Xianyang, the whole village is into a cooperative, cultivating tens of thousands of acres of wasteland, every day the whole village works together, you can plant thousands of acres in the morning, it is spectacular, but unfortunately our village, the surnames are scattered, and we can't see such a grand occasion if we are not united. ”

Then Daddy said to him mysteriously, "Even if we open up the wasteland, the land can still be hung in the cooperative, and it is not considered personal." If you don't break the law, with the help of such farm tools, this year we have 5 families, and we still have the spare strength to reclaim thousands of acres of wasteland.

I inquired about the cooperatives near Xianyang that all do this, but the king didn't say anything. Later, when there are war achievements, they will be directly divided from the cooperative to the home, and these wasteland will be planted for several years. I have summed up with several of them, and when the 1,000 acres of land are cultivated, we will also build the 1,000 acres of wasteland in the back mountains to grow marijuana, and Huaxialou will collect hemp several times more expensive than grain. That's where our family really got rich. ”

The boss is heavy, and if he wants these extra wastelands, he must at least get a doctor's title, which may be the chief. Otherwise, the excess land that their family has opened up will be reclaimed for other people's families.

............

Busy spring ploughing, at this time in Qindi, there is a completely different scene from previous years. Thousands and hundreds of people work together in a collective way, or oxen plow, horses, and people pull on the spring fields. A large amount of food saved in the winter is sprinkled into the earth as seeds. In the past, a family could only cultivate dozens of acres of land, but it became hundreds of acres or thousands of acres, and the Qin Emperor cashed out a large number of war exploits in wasteland and mountains.

Since Huaxia Lou only receives grain and other crops produced in the form of cooperatives. The former prime minister of the Qin Dynasty, Wang Juan, was the guarantor, and the millions of Qianshou who had been to Xianyang City were all known by word of mouth, and they all knew that Huaxia Lou was rich and flowing, and they were not worried about what to do if Huaxia Lou was not collected, and the local pavilion chief was the official initiative. The Qin people had little resistance in the Guanzhong area of the Weihe Plain, and there was no requirement for anything farther, after all, this production method was very different from before, and the remote Shu land was still the original farming method. Ying Zicheng does not insist on it, he believes that the power of example is infinite.

In order to supplement the Qin people's meat diet all rely on junglers, Ying Zicheng sold hundreds of chicks and ducklings artificially hatched each time to various cooperatives, the principle of one boy for five eggs, a small chick needs 5 eggs to pay back in the future, and a mature chicken and duck can pay off 5 cubs to pay off debts. The cheap price was rushed by all the cooperatives. As for Zhu Yu, who has always been favored by Ying Zicheng, he is pre-cold, in this group of Qianshou psychology, he can't eat enough, how can he still have something for Zhu Yu to eat. caused thousands of piglets to be smashed in the hands of Ying Zicheng.

"Boss, today you accompany A-Niang to grab the chicks. "In the middle of summer, a family of three men was weeding in the fields, and they all shivered when they heard the order of the only woman in the family.

Since the second child volunteered to accompany the pavilion chief where A-Niang robbed the little chicken once, returned home and told the father and the boss, hundreds of little daughters-in-law and women, where to show their teeth and claws, snatching the chickens, the second child returned home The tragic situation was also seen by them, the clothes were torn into pieces, and the nose was blue and the face was swollen. Tell them with actions that this is an activity that is only for women, and that it is not suitable for old men to participate.

"Auntie, I still have to weed, why don't you let the second brother go, hasn't the second brother been there once, and he is familiar with it. "Old avenue.

"The second child is not good, I didn't grab a single chick last time, it's not as good as me, I grabbed three. A-Niang said with a disgusted face.

"Yes, yes, yes, A-Niang should let the eldest brother go, the eldest brother is good. The second child immediately nodded in agreement, ignoring the boss's murderous eyes.

"Boss. You just go for it. Dad was relieved to see that it wasn't him, and even agreed.

"Okay. "My own son is going to give up saving himself, and the dying struggle is useless. The boss put down his hoe and went to the battlefield with an expression of generosity and righteousness at the expense of one person.
