On the second day of the first month of August, Tiankuo and Siqi planned to go around the countryside, and asked Wang Tianxiang and Wang Tianlai to accompany them.

For the familiarity of this place, they are far from the two of them, and they just want to see what the places are like, of course, they have to take people with them.

Zhou Hao Zhou Xing was left at home, it seems to be very troublesome to go out and bring a bunch of people, they still have to go to the farmer's house to eat, with so many people, but also waste other people's food, Zhou Hao Zhou Xing didn't insist, thinking that what he said made sense, of course they would listen, and they would stay at home obediently.

There's still a lot of needlework to do, and there's no time to spare at home.

This trip will definitely not be able to come back on the day of the trip, Siqi looked at the map of Lu County a few days ago, and found that this place is a little poor, but the territory is really large, it can be said that the land is vast and sparsely populated.

The family planted dozens of acres of land, but the harvest could not catch up with their hometown, after all, the land here is more barren, and there are many stones, if you don't cultivate it well, you can't even grow crops.

The four of them drove the carriage out, and along the way Wang Tianxiang introduced to them the environment of this Lu County, which is surrounded by mountains, and it is the kind of mountain that is difficult to go to, there are jackals, tigers and leopards on it, ordinary people will not go to the mountain, only those who have the ability to hunt dare to go deep into the mountains, which is no different from Siqi's hometown, but the mountains here are really big, and it is much more dangerous to look at.

There is a big river in this place in Lu County, it is quite good, it is a tributary of the Yellow River, generally speaking, it will not dry up, the river becomes shallow when the weather is dry, and there is a lot of land here, everyone rushes to use the water, or there will be some insufficiency.

But there is only one river, and irrigation is also a problem for the people, and the water is indeed available, but you have to pick it up and use it in the field, and it is always not so convenient to farm far away.

This place in Lu County is the coldest in Shanxi, the place is considered winter for half a year, and after the autumn harvest, the soil has not had time to turn it, it is already cold to the surface, and it will start spring ploughing in March of the next year, and a season of crops will be planted in a year.

Si Qiguang listened to this, and he knew what kind of situation this place was, even if there was a lot of land that ordinary people could plant, this land was so difficult to plant, the harvest was not good, and they could only plant once a year, of course, they couldn't harvest much grain.

We still have to think about it, plan carefully, and use all this land where it should be used, so that we can achieve the best harvest.

At any time, the main support of the common people is the land, and they must rely on the grain produced in the field, which is the real thing.

At this time, it was already August, and the weather was obviously much colder than my own side, and it was hot at this time, so I only wore a single coat, and here I had to wear a thin jacket.

Only Tiankuo and Siqi sat in the car, Wang Tianxiang and Wang Tianlai were driving the car outside, and the curtain of the car was not lowered, the four of them talked all the way, and the time passed quickly.

Seeing that it was almost noon, Wang Tianxiang drove the car to a village, and as soon as he entered the village, someone greeted him.

"Oh, why is Wang Xiancheng here?"

Before he could speak, the man ran to the front and shouted, "Go and call the village chief, Wang Xiancheng and Wang Zhushu are here." ”

Wang Dongxiang said with a smile, "Not only are we here, but the county magistrate and the county lady are also here, how to arrange it at noon depends on your ability." "E-book shop

Listening to them, he knew that he was usually quite familiar, and the man was even more happy when he heard that the county magistrate and the county magistrate's wife were also here, and he fell when he ran forward, which made everyone laugh. ”

Siqi and they got out of the car when they got to the place, Tiankuo helped her to the ground, Siqi looked around, the countryside here is very different from his own side.

The house is different, the yard is different, the surrounding scenery is different, and the crops grown in the fields are also different.

Siqi is very curious about everything, and he can't help but want to walk around and see it, but he is really hungry.

Soon the village chief came over, and brought a few elderly people from the village, and these elderly people all had status in the village, and they had to entertain distinguished guests.

At noon, of course, it was eaten at the village chief's house, and some people had already run to report the news, and the women of the family had to go around shopping for food, and they had to make the meal ready.

The village chief's family is undoubtedly a better family in the village, and when he arrived at the place, Siqi looked at the neat courtyard and several caves against the mountain, and had to sigh, a big family.

She rarely saw such a yard on the way, most of the people here live in caves, and the caves have to be built along the mountain, and most of them are built directly on the mountain.

Because the mountains here are not as humid as in Sichuan, but most of them are stones, so I directly dug out a hole in the big stone and cleaned it everywhere, and it became a house for a family.

The flat land is all owned by large families, and ordinary people can only build their houses on the mountain and live at the foot of the mountain, which is a good family.

Barren land was everywhere, and no crops could be grown, so the fertile land had to be rented from others, and then paid an annual tenant rent to the landlord's family.

Although dozens of acres of land are planted, many of the grains produced in this land have to be handed over to others, and the people are very hard.

Entering the courtyard, Siqi couldn't help but marvel, this yard is also too big.

In the past, she felt that her yard was good, but after renovating the house, she deliberately made the yard bigger, and usually dried some simple things directly in the yard, which was very convenient.

When she got here, she felt that she really didn't know, and other people's yards were called big, and such a large area was encircled.

There is a sheepfold on the side, and there are still a few sheep in it, but when she sees the size of the sheepfold, she knows that there must be more than a few sheep in this house, and she saw on the way to the side that there are many sheep on the mountain, all in flocks.

Wang Dong said that the most livestock raised by the people here is sheep, because sheep can't eat much grain, they can go outside to eat grass, wool can also be sold, mutton can also be sold, and they can also eat themselves, so basically every household raises sheep, only to see how much they raise and how little they raise.

On the contrary, unlike Sichuan, the people here do not raise pigs very much, raising pigs is too expensive to eat, and there is not so much use for sheep, the weather here is cold, everyone eats mutton in winter, and pork is useless.
