Chapter 105: The Present Situation
As long as he has a house to live in, it doesn't matter if he lives with people or not. This is the feeling of Li Yao living with two sisters who are not in harmony with each other and have no harmony in their hearts.
The place where she slept on the big kang was some distance from the two sisters. She and her sisters are clearly separated even when they sleep.
Li Yao was speechless for the childish trick of the two sisters. Isn't it naïve to sleep together, and what kind of 38 lines are drawn? If they have the ability, they go to sleep on the floor of the stone house, don't squeeze with her, wouldn't it be better for her to sleep in a room alone?
Recently, she no longer has diarrhea, but she still has to take the tuba three times a day, which seems to have been fixed. Mrs. Li said ugly words, saying that she was lazy and urinated a lot. She secretly rolled her eyes and ignored it.
Han said that she had grown taller, taller than before, and said that a woman should be of moderate height, so it was better for her not to grow into a stupid big person.
How tall she would become, she really couldn't decide for herself. But she was taller, and she felt it herself—the trousers she wore in exile were a little shorter, so she must have been long.
Because I have lost weight, I can't wear much of my previous clothes. Han Jin is in the merchant business and has cloth in his hand. Ignoring Mrs. Li's complaints, Han took the cloth and remade two or three clothes for her.
Mrs. Li complained, and Han said confidently: "My daughter uses my mother's silver. It's hard for her to say that her daughter is using her nephew's money, after all, these two children have reached the age of kissing, and they have to avoid suspicion.
However, I heard that my mother was going to make a pile of herself and her cousin, which made Li Yao break out in a cold sweat. Close relatives can't get married!
For this reason, she said that when she was in Yazhou, she was deeply impressed by the silly children of the two families whose cousins were married. She pretended not to know anything and asked: Is it true that my cousin and cousin will have stupid children when they get married?
I don't know if what my daughter said is true or not, but Han still takes it to heart. Her cousins are married, and she knows a little about it. But for the sake of the health of the next generation, she is still not at ease. For this reason, she also plans to ask the neighbors around her to inquire again, so as not to make mistakes.
When she thought that after they first arrived in Yuyan and settled down, she took a good bath, and when she came out, her family looked at her stunned appearance, and she felt a sense of accomplishment. This shows that she has lost a lot of weight, she was sloppy and unparticular before, but now everyone finally realizes that she has lost weight.
"Do you sleep or not, what do you want to do over and over again?" Li Yao was thinking about it, and Li Pei asked her impatiently. Even a woman like her has to go to the wasteland and farm all day long, tired to death, what are her three sisters tossing? She can lazily cook at home every day, which is easier than any of them. Hum!
No matter how Mrs. Li objected, because of the high labor intensity of farming, Li Jimin arranged for Li Yao to cook at home. Who made Li Yao be able to master this craft.
Therefore, Li Yao is in charge of cooking and delivering meals at home every day. Of course, she is not as lazy as Li Pei thinks, and after finishing the family's meals, she still has to help the family farm.
"And I went to sleep. This big kang is not a bed that can be shaken, how can you feel it when I turn over? You don't say you can't sleep, but you complain about me tossing and turning. "There is very little movement of turning over, Li Pei is looking for something to do, right?
"Hmph, anyway, don't turn over again!"
"Hmm." She replied vaguely. Actually, I didn't take it to heart.
With a sigh of relief, Li Yao lay flat and did not make any other movements, and then she began to think about her thoughts again. When they arrived at the place of exile, they all fell ill one after another. And the money was spent like water.
Excluding her cousin's purchase and the goods pressed in her hand, she still had less than fifty taels of silver left in her hand. The house is narrow and dilapidated, and the kang bed is also just plated, so it is really not good to live in. She actually wanted to build a few more rooms. But this matter is not taken care of now. When rushing to farm, everyone is busy, and it is impossible to hire people to farm.
Each household is counted as 20 acres for adult men and 10 acres for women and semi-eldest children, and her family is entitled to 110 acres of land. Of course, the daughter she wants to marry like this is not counted, so there is no land.
At present, there is no tuntian in Yuyan, and their group of exiles have to open up the wasteland and farm by themselves. And every year, the army must pay the forty fields of this year's harvest. One hundred and ten acres of land can't be planted, and Jiaotian Fu is simply a dream!
In the memory of the original body, only the yield per mu of the land of fish and rice in the south of the Yangtze River can reach an average yield of 600 catties per mu. This yield per mu is already very much in this era. And the yield per mu of the desolate and barren land in the north and south is even less, not to mention that this is a place where they newly opened up wasteland.
Listening to her grandfather, if their yield per mu can reach nearly two stones in the first year, that is, about two hundred and forty or fifty catties, it will already be very good.
For this reason, after asking experienced local military households in detail, Li Jimin planned to select a part of the land for intensive cultivation and planting winter wheat. Although it is almost August, the winter wheat is also a little late. In other places, there is no time to plant, so buckwheat seeds are sprinkled.
Li Yao doesn't know how to farm at all, and when she was exiled to Yazhou in her memory, it was very hard to follow her mother to work in the fields. What's more, it was a southern crop at that time. Ay...... Thinking of this, she couldn't sleep peacefully.
But no matter how sleepless she was, the night was darker, and the dawn was coming. Therefore, in these sorrows, Li Yao fell asleep on Yali Mountain.
Early in the morning, Li Yao was busy steaming sorghum mixed noodles and steamed buns. Now that the weather is gradually getting colder, her family steams two large pots of steamed buns every time and once every five days. This flour is specially prepared by Mrs. Li. There are many flours and sorghum flours. Of course, there is more sorghum flour and less flour.
Because she hid money before, her old lady guarded her tightly, and she was very concerned about the food and use at home. The problem is that only throttling is not open source, and the money still has to be spent. She really didn't agree with the old lady's idea. But who makes the old lady absolutely authoritative at home!
After taking out the money to build the house, she had not much money left. She wants to talk to her grandfather, and in the future she earns her own money will be her own.
If she didn't go to the Stone Forest, she didn't know that the locals of the Stone Forest were very unkind to those of them who came from other places. In short, although the stone forest belongs to Datai, the local nomadic tribes rarely deal with them.
I heard that Shilin originally belonged to Beiliang, but after Emperor Xuande's grandfather, that is, Emperor Xuanwu, succeeded to the throne, Beiliang was in turmoil. At that time, Beiliang oppressed the border people too much, and the chieftain of the Shilin tribe and the lord of Beiliang were not in harmony, so Emperor Xuanwu pried the corner of Beiliang.
After all, the Stone Forest people are still nomadic people, and they are still different from the Tai people in nature. Moreover, when the chieftains of the Stone Forest tribe were attached, they asked for the autonomy of the Stone Forest, which belonged to the small subordinate countries of Datai, and paid a certain amount of war horse furs and other things to Datai every year. But Datai wants to protect them.
Although Emperor Xuanwu does not like the stone forest people are not civilized, but he also knows that the nomads are fierce, and he inherited the unification of the great Thai industry has only risen for less than a hundred years, it is the time to recuperate, if you can not fight, you can also get the stone forest buffer land, which is also good for the great Tai.
After all, the stone forest is annexed, and the territory of Datai is expanded, in case Beiliang comes in, the land of the stone forest is also a buffer land. Besides, as long as they are attached, these people will be absorbed and assimilated by Datai sooner or later. So in this way, the local residents of Stone Forest existed as if they were surviving in the cracks.
However, there are always conflicts in farming and herding, so the stone forest people and the Datai border people do not get along well, and they are looked down upon by the Datai border people. The border people of Datai dislike the backward way of life and production, do not know how to farm, and also dislike the border people of the stone forest in the past were driven by the Beiliang Kingdom to burn, kill and loot in their villages.
The border people of the stone forest dislike the border people of Datai for occupying the mountains and forests where they graze, and the weak chickens generally have no flesh and bravery, and are easy to bully like sheep. And there is no boldness of the nomadic people who eat meat and drink wine. Therefore, at the beginning of the attachment of the stone forest, conflicts broke out between the border people of the stone forest and the border people of nearby Datai.
It was not until Emperor Xuande's father, Emperor Xuanhui, succeeded to the throne that Shi Lin was sent to garrison Datai, and this conflict was suppressed.
However, the general soldiers of the border army stationed in Shilin have always been people who are not valued by the imperial court. Therefore, whether it is an officer or an exile who comes here, they are all people who are not valued by the imperial court like abandoned children. Ay......
There are still some tribes in the Stone Forest who still live a nomadic life of fishing, hunting and herding, and do not farm. So there are very few local food crops. Their staple food is soba noodles. How is it grown? Just sprinkle it everywhere. Hearing this method of farming, Li Yao, who didn't know how to farm, was so shocked that she didn't know what to say!
Not to mention the vegetables, the people are not farming people, so the leaders of the tribes of the people take the tribes to hunt and graze in various parts of the stone forest, and then make plans to leave at any time. Where do you still grow vegetables? People still want to say that when they are here, their mountains and forests will be destroyed, and whoever makes them eat all the wild vegetables of the mountains and forests.
These are all things that her cousin has inquired about. Her cousin decided to stay in the country for a while.
The walls of Li Yao's house are not high. The kitchen, on the other hand, is a thatched shed that closes on three sides and is open on one side. Li Jimin means: When you plan to be rich, you will cover the kitchen well.
Li Yao was cooking a pot of steamed buns when she heard Ji Moxuan outside the wall shouting to her: "Fatty, fat!" (To be continued.) )
