Xiaohu came back from the grassland and passed through the Northland, and also brought back the details of the Northland, Daman has done better than Erya hoped in the past few years.

Originally, 50,000 wasteland was to be reclaimed in three years, but Daman planted while reclaiming, and by the end of last year, nearly 70,000 wasteland had been opened. Together with the mines that are connected to it, it is even more expansive.

The harvested sorghum is used to make wine in the winery built by the Hu family there, and even if they only get a 60% share, their income is more than ten times higher than just buying grain.

Distiller's grains and sorghum stalks, except for a part of the fodder kept for their own livestock, were mostly sold to army horse farms, which was also a large income.

The cattle, sheep, milk powder, and wool sent back every once in a while are, of course, not a low income.

As he spoke, Xiaohu suddenly sighed with emotion: "Fortunately, General Qin gave us so many veterans!" Otherwise, we won't be able to defend those lands by relying only on our own families in the Northlands! ”

Er Ya was shocked, "Someone grabbed the land?" ”

"Not really! There are a few very strong local snakes, and even the old man of Daman can't do anything about them! Our family's land is next to the locals' land, and others are sneaking around to occupy a place that is a foot wide. They openly crossed a large area of our family's land, and they also pulled out the boundary stakes under Daman in front of the people our family invited to work. There were many veterans among those who worked, and those veterans didn't call Brother Da Man over at all, and without saying a word, they dragged those who occupied our land to the mountains and tied them with ropes in the woods. Before leaving, he told them that as long as they could live in the mountains until dawn tomorrow. And that piece of land will be given to their house."

Erya couldn't help but slap the table and praised: "Good! Well done, what about later? ”

Xiaohu laughed: "How can there be a later!" The men were so frightened that they urinated on their crotch and cried and begged the veterans to let them go. also swore that they would not want the one-foot-wide boundary of the land. The veterans let them go until they couldn't hold it anymore and were about to faint. I heard that some of the people who had occupied a lot of land in the surrounding area before, but later they all returned it in an orderly manner, and even the cattle did not dare to let it into our family's land. ”

Erya also knows as an immigrant. Of course, it is impossible to show face like people who have been here for generations. They can also take advantage of as much as they can, but she really didn't expect that someone would be bold enough to take advantage directly. And the Northland is almost entirely dryland, except for the two sides of the border who keep their own rules. There's really no way to completely divide it neatly.

"It's also wrong for them to open up the wasteland, didn't I tell Daman at the beginning to let them stay at least three feet away from other people's land? Why did you get mixed up with others? Er Ya asked a little unhappily.

Xiaohu hurriedly explained to Daman: "They are indeed quite far away from other people's homes, and they are all hated by the locals. Our side is open and they are also open, and then when they are together. Just take the land from our house. Originally, the people who worked were locals. They don't help to look at the land they have cultivated, so they keep their eyes open and let people occupy a lot of land. Later, General Qin sent so many veterans over, and those people still wanted to occupy our family's land as before. The veterans restrained them as soon as they made a move, otherwise we would have taken them away from us, and in the end we didn't know how much we could have left! ”

"If only we could restrain them, what about our livestock? Can someone make trouble? ”

"No, our livestock are far away from our homes, and most of them graze at the foot of the mountain. I heard that someone was stealing horses. They were almost kicked to death by the horse, but Gul ran into the horse pen and rescued the man. It seems that there has been no horse theft since then. As for sheep and cows, I didn't hear Peng Yunjiang mention them, so I don't think there was anything like this! ”

Erya said: "There are so many dogs in the flock to protect them, and it is estimated that ordinary people can't come forward." Didn't the brothers and sisters of the Peng family say that they want to find a descendant! Did you find it? ”

"Found it! With the help of General Qin, it's not easy to do anything! General Qin just sent a message to ask Peng Yunjiang to find out where his grandmother and little uncle were registered, and found out which county and town they were registered in, so he asked Peng Yunjiang to go directly to find someone. said that he found it after looking for it for a few days, speaking of his grandmother, it is said that she is also a powerful person, I heard Peng Yunjiang say that it is really similar to you. ”

Erya is also interested, could it be that she is from the next life like her? "What is it like?"

Xiaohu pondered for a long time and couldn't think of any aspect of the resemblance, so he frowned slightly and replied: "I can't tell which aspect is similar, I just think that I am very able to endure hardships and have the ability to endure hardships like you." ”

The more ambiguous Xiaohu became, the more interested Erya was to know more, so he chased and asked: "Then you tell me the specific situation in detail, and I'll see if it's very similar to me!" ”

"Hmmm! I heard Peng Yunjiang say that when he didn't go to look for it, he didn't dare to have much hope, because the drought in the west was worse than ours before, and the most people died. Especially the sinners like his grandmother and uncle, who could not escape the famine, stayed in that place and waited for death. As a result, he said that he did not expect that his grandmother was not only full of energy but also that even his uncle was strong and strong, and what he didn't expect was that there was a little uncle who was born on the road, an eight or nine-year-old child, and a strong elephant calf. He also said that the people over there were very obedient to his grandmother, and sometimes his grandmother spoke better than the local officials. ”

Er Ya smiled: "This is really a capable person, but I can't compare, I don't have an official to speak!" ”

Xiaohu patted her daughter-in-law with a smile, and continued: "She is respected by others in the same way that you are respected by our Wang family." When the drought made it impossible to survive there, some of those who could hunt went up to the mountains to survive. Some of the people who did not have the ability to go up the mountain, but not the people who could not flee the famine, went out to flee the famine, and those who could not leave the land could only sit and wait to starve to death. Later, Peng Yunjiang's grandmother may have been forced to be helpless, and decided to go up the mountain to seek her life with her eldest son who was seven or eight years old and her youngest son who was three or four years old. Others saw that they, orphans and widows, dared to go up the mountain to survive, and they all had the courage to follow them up the mountain.

This woman is said to be very powerful. Dig traps, lay ropes, and kill a wolf with a hoe. said that when she was so nervous about eating that it was likely to make people fight for their lives, she didn't think about eating alone with her children. but they all took it out and ate it with the sinners who followed them up into the mountain. Later, those people began to listen to her assignment, and when there were many people and they were united, they gradually became more courageous, and they dared to go deep into the mountains. These people have been in the mountains for more than two years, and none of them have died, and all of them are alive and well. Many of those who fled the famine did not return, but they all came down the mountain with all their beards and tails. Even the officials in charge of them looked down on Peng Yunjiang, the grandmother. I just think it's very similar to you in this respect. But I can't tell how it looks like! ”

Erya said angrily: "If there's anything you can't say, isn't it a female man!" What's so bad about the three-word thing? Cut! ”

Xiaohu lowered his head and snickered, his daughter-in-law was capable and courageous. is especially a man, but she doesn't want others to say that she looks like a man, which is her own favorite self-deprecating title - a female man!

Erya then asked, "Then what are the plans of the three of them?" Just put down roots there? ”

Xiaohu looked up and replied, "It seems that their exile period is ten years, and it will be full." said that he wanted to return to his ancestral hometown. The real property rights of their Peng family's land are actually lineage. Of course they have to go back and guard. ”

"That's fine! The brothers and sisters of the Peng family have found their descendants, and they can do things with peace of mind. If you don't need so many people over there, just transfer two of them back to help, I think that Peng Yunjiang is still very useful. ”

Xiaohu frowned and said, "I told him this, but they didn't think much about it, they felt more comfortable grazing." So I allowed them to continue grazing over there, and I didn't plan to transfer them over. ”

Since they don't want to come. I don't force it. "Then forget it! That's right! Why hasn't the sweater workshop over there been able to do it? Is the technology bad? ”

Xiaohu hurriedly replied: "Roar! You can't blame them for that, I just went over there to find out. Our woven sweaters are selling well in the capital. On the way, I met a few businessmen from the north, and I heard from them that my sweater was robbed as soon as I arrived in the capital, and I couldn't wait for the next day. On the one hand, the price of other people's hand-knitted sweaters is expensive, and on the other hand, our weaving is even, flat and looks high-end. Those businessmen are also willing to sell our sweaters back and forth, they say that the price is doubled, and it can be cheaper than hand-knitted sweaters, which is easy to sell and profitable, so there is basically no market for hand-knitted sweaters. ”

Erya originally wanted to give the women in the north another channel to earn money, but she didn't expect to be disrupted by herself, and it seemed that she had to think of other ways to earn money for them.

"That's right! How about you helping to find the dyers who dyed the wool on the other side of the grassland? ”

Because the yarn dyeing in the grassland is diverse, the key is not to fade, and I have not been able to find a dyeing master. So Er Ya wanted Xiaohu to take this opportunity to find out if there was a master who was willing to go to the Central Plains to do things.

Xiaohu replied proudly and arrogantly: "You don't need to find a master, they say that there are many kinds of fruit pulp that do not fade in the grassland, as long as you adjust the color and put a little bit of that fruit pulp, it is very simple, and you don't need any master at all." I've come back with a lot of that berry powder, you can make a dye shop whenever you want, and as for the color matching, I'll just look at it, it's not difficult! ”

Erya looked at the confident little tiger with a smile, but thought in her heart that after the dyeing workshop was built, she would wait to see him look foreign. If it was as simple as he said, then dyeing workshops would not be everywhere?!

However, with the non-fading fruit puree, plus I know many printing and dyeing methods in later generations, I want to fight with those dyeing workshops in Fucheng is a bit of a capital!

When the dyeing workshop can be opened, the subsequent autumn clothes, autumn pants, and small nene can also come into being. Because I didn't dare to let people know that I produced different weaving fabrics, I had piled up semi-warehouse knitted fabrics and never showed them to the outside. Just waiting for the time when their own house can be dyed, they are dyed to make finished autumn clothes, autumn pants, and small inner and foreign sales, and the mystery of how long can be maintained will be maintained. If I can't keep it, I will launch sports clothes made of thickened knitted fabrics, and try to impact the low tide brought by competition with new products. (To be continued......)
