After that man's affairs were over, he couldn't afford to think about anything more, because the autumn harvest was almost over, and then the yamen would be busy exchanging the grain harvested from the autumn harvest, so that the villages would not suffer losses and would not take advantage of loopholes.

This is a very heavy workload, Tiankuo is so busy that he is dizzy, and of course Siqi can't help but help him.

When it comes to food, the people are very sensitive, but if one of the links is not handled properly, it may cause chaos.

This is only the first year, and if something goes wrong with this, it will be difficult to proceed in the future.

Because the yield of each crop is not the same, so the value is also different, so it is not possible to simply exchange, but it is necessary to count all the crops harvested in each village and make an arrangement, so that no one will suffer.

After seven or eight days of busy work, there was no trouble, and the yamen came forward to escort the grain, distribute it to the village, and then the yamen supervised the distribution to each family, and each family got the food they deserved.

In previous years, there were only a few things planted at home, and the yield was not high, and after a year of busy work, in the end I couldn't harvest much grain, but this year is different, looking at these things in my heart is happy, this is too much.

These potatoes, sweet potatoes, corn and whatever, they have already eaten, and they taste very good.

Although it is not as easy to store as wheat and the like, it can be stored in the cellar for a long time, and it is no problem to eat it until next year.

And it can also be used to feed chickens, ducks and geese, and people can't finish feeding livestock, and it won't be wasted anyway.

Next year, we will plant crops in the same way as this year, and if we reclaim some more wasteland, we will be able to harvest more grain.

Crops such as cotton will not be distributed according to this method, and most of the places in Lu County are actually quite suitable for planting cotton, which is up to the villagers to decide, because after all, this cannot be eaten in the stomach, and how much to plant is the farmer's own business, and each family will harvest it by itself.

The yamen can also be responsible for the purchase and give them a good price, they have not planted it before, and this year is also the first year, so I can't imagine that the yield is not bad.

It took a lot of effort to think about it, otherwise everyone wouldn't have done it, and the cotton would have to be broken in the ground when it grows, isn't that a waste of things?

After all, it is the first year, and many people have no bottom in their hearts, and they don't dare to take it out to take risks, so few families follow to plant cotton.

The price given this year is not bad, everyone sees the benefits, and next year they will scramble to follow suit, and the output will be higher.

This place is full of sunshine, in fact, it is more suitable for growing cotton than Siqi's hometown, mainly to let the people see the benefits, and they can't let the yamen force them to plant, right? These are to be done willingly.

After the food was distributed, Qiu Ling also came back from Zijun, which took longer than Si Qi expected.

As soon as Qiu Ling came back, Si Qi breathed a sigh of relief, "Fortunately, I'm back, otherwise I'll have to go and see it, I'm really afraid that my eldest brother will be seriously ill again after I leave, Sister Qiu Ling, you've worked hard these days, how is my eldest brother's illness?" ”

Qiu Ling smiled slightly, "It's completely fine, what about the two children, I'll go see them." ”

Siqi said with a smile, "A few days ago, I followed Zhou Hao and the two of them to the workshop to play, and then I came back, stayed at home for two days, and then went to the workshop again, and I went with it today, and I guess I will come back in a while." ”

It was almost noon, and they were going to come back to eat, and there were many women working in the workshop, and the eldest children in the family could help them work in the fields, and the younger children had to be carried, and if they took the children with them, the old people in the family could also follow them to work in the fields, saving a labor force.

After the workshop manager asked Siqi for instructions, he told everyone that they could bring their children to the workshop, but they had to take care of their children, and if they broke things, they would be deducted from their wages, and everyone who had confidence in their children would bring their children over.

Children like to play with children, and after the big girl and the big treasure went to the workshop a few times, they tasted the sweetness, and of course they had to go with Zhou Hao.

Although there are people teasing them and coaxing them at home, they are not their peers, and the fun is still different.

Anyway, I'll come back every day, and if I don't delay, I'll go and play with my friends during the day.

Staying with the children during this time, Siqi obviously felt that they had become more lively, and such a change in temperament was actually a good thing for them, the sullen and timid appearance before was actually quite distressing, and everyone wanted to see it like this, so Siqi felt that Qiu Ling would be happy if she knew.

Qiu Ling nodded and pointed outside, "Those are those that Zijun asked people to prepare when they left, I'm a little tired, you can let people clean up, I'll go back to the house and lie down for a while." ”

After speaking, she didn't wait for Siqi to speak, turned around and left, Siqi always felt that she was a little weird, but there were still people outside at this time, it was the person who Zijun arranged to send Qiu Ling back.

Siqi has to settle down, why do you want to let them have lunch and then go back, it's already here, and by the way, you can also ask Aunt Zhou to make something and let them take it back to Zijun.

Siqi felt that something was wrong with Qiu Ling, and wanted to find out something from these people, but as soon as they asked, Siqi gave up.

After arranging the things in the front yard, she went to find Qiu Ling, Qiu Ling was indeed sleeping, after Siqi knocked on the door, she answered, Siqi entered the house, she was still lying down.

Siqi hurriedly said, "Are you sick, why do you lie down as soon as you come back?" ”

Qiu Ling smiled, "No, it's just that I'm a little tired on the road, so I want to lie down for a while, but I can't sleep after lying down." ”

Siqi said, "What's wrong with you, do you have something on your mind?" If you can trust me, tell me if you have anything and see if I can help. ”

Qiu Ling shook her head, "It's okay, it's really okay, it's just that I stayed in the inn last night, I didn't sleep well, and I haven't seen the two children for a long time, and I've been thinking about them." ”

She turned around and slept inside, and Siqi didn't ask her anymore, obviously she couldn't ask anything, unless she was willing to say it herself, she always felt weird, could it be that something happened to her brother?

She thought that Qiu Ling would come back in four or five days, but it turned out that it had been almost ten days before and after, would Zijun get better at this time?
