Chapter 80: Debts are too much and there are worries

Xiao Yi led the southern army out of Beijing to quell the chaos, but sent someone to send a box of gold, silver and jewelry to Yan Yunge.

The beautiful name says: deposit!

Book next year's food in advance.

Looking at the boxes full of pearls and emerald gems, Yan Yunge sighed.

"Whose house did he raid, and he copied so many treasures."

It's all hard currency.

However, it can't be used directly.

You have to find a jewelry store, or exchange it for copper coins to use it.

In these years, gold and silver are precious and scarce.

So much so that gold and silver are not in circulation.

The vast majority of ordinary people have never had the opportunity to touch gold and silver in their lifetime.

Yan Yunge pinched his chin, "Could it be that this girl is going to dig gold mines, silver mines, and promote the circulation of gold and silver among the people?" ”

She shook her head.

Forget it, mining is too eye-catching.

Now she is only suitable for farming, selling food and drink, and being a small farmer.

A box of jewelry, Yan Yunge is also worried.

What are you worried about?

Naturally, it is worried about food.

At present, there are four individuals and units that have ordered food.

His Royal Highness the Second Prince, two thousand quintals, this is the reward for thanking him.

On the Shaofu side, thousands of quintals of nearly 10,000 quintals of grain a year are debts.

Ling Changzhi, at least a thousand quintals, is the sincerity of cooperation.

Xiao Yi, it will definitely not be less than 1,000 quintals, and people have even given a deposit, so they can't help but give food.

Coupled with the fact that her family has to raise people, eat and drink, how much food does she have to grow to complete next year's task!

Boom......

It's so hard!

Until now, I haven't even seen a shadow of grain, and I already owe so much debt, it's really difficult.

Yan Yunge played with boxes full of emerald gems for a while, these things can't be brought to the Grange, because these things are not used in the Grange.

She instructed the guards, "Send this box back to the county lord's mother, and then you will rush to the grange with the things that the county lord's mother gave you." Bring a few extra people to make sure you're safe. ”

The guards received the order, returned to the county lord's mansion with boxes full of jewels.

Abei was so anxious that he died, "The girl can't talk anymore, beware of a bad throat." The slave invited Mama Qiu and asked Mama Qiu to check the girl's throat. ”

Mama Qiu was in another carriage.

Ah Bei invited Mama Qiu.

Yan Yunge looked weak and smiled.

She gestured casually twice, and only said a few more words. ’

Mama Qiu grimaced, "The girl opened her mouth, and the slave maid checked it." If it is serious, when you rest at the post station at night, you have to prick needles and fill medicine. ”

Yan Yunge opened her mouth honestly, and Mama Qiu looked carefully at the light, and her brows suddenly furrowed.

"It's a little red and swollen and has to go down. The girl takes medicine first, and then gets a needle at night. ”

A bitter pill definitely knocked over the coptis jar.

Yan Yunge swallowed it in one gulp, but the pill was too big and stuck in her throat, making it uncomfortable for her to die.

There was no choice but to bite it and swallow it little by little.

It took a long stick of incense to swallow the pill completely.

She was bitter to death, sticking out her tongue and looking bitter.

Even drinking three glasses of water can't suppress the bitter taste in your mouth.

She ate seven or eight caramel syrups in one go before she suppressed the bitterness.

Speaking of caramel sugar, Yan Yunge is very regretful.

The capital is located in the north and cannot grow sugar cane.

In the future, when she has the opportunity, she will go to the south to open up wasteland and plant more than 100,000 acres of sugarcane, which will be used to boil sugar and boil out white sugar.

Whether it is white sugar, brown sugar, or even brown sugar, which is full of impurities, it is a valuable item in this era.

Ordinary people don't have the opportunity to eat sugar at all.

Occasionally, catch up with luck and be able to eat two bites of natural honey.

There are fewer opportunities to eat honey, or sugar is easier to obtain, as long as you have money.

In these years, people are generally poor, and what they lack most is money.

"Why are you so poor!"

Yan Yunge sighed with emotion.

Everyone is generally poor, and if she wants to do some business, she has to think carefully.

The one sitting in the palace is a greedy lord who wants everything.

If she makes too much noise in business, she is likely to be targeted by the emperor.

Ay......

She sighed again, she was really hard!

……

There was war going on elsewhere, but the Gyeonggi area was peaceful.

There is no need to hurry, the carriage goes very slowly.

I walked along the official road all the way, and I only walked fifty or sixty miles a day.

In the evening, arrive at the post station and stay directly at the post station.

Mama Qiu pricked Yan Yunge with needles and poured medicine, and told her not to speak until she got up tomorrow.

It's hard to speak, talk too much, beware of bad throat.

If you break your throat this time, you won't be able to cure it again.

In order to be able to speak freely in the future, Yan Yunge will not pay for her life, she is very obedient and promises to use her voice as little as possible in the next few days.

If you can compare, you can use a pen.

Make sure that the throat can be recovered smoothly and spray the person to death.

After walking for three days, I finally arrived at Nirvana Villa.

After two months, the villa has undergone new changes.

Most obviously, there are more than a dozen rows of thatched houses.

There were also a lot more children, and it was hot, and they all ran to the foot of the mountain to collect firewood.

Nirvana is being built next door.

The last time he came, Yan Yunge told Yan Sui that he wanted to expand the scale of the villa and build a school field that could accommodate three to five thousand people.

Around the school grounds, rows of brick houses were built to serve as dormitories for soldiers.

Of course, there are no campuses and no dormitories.

The house that is now being built.

With the expansion of the scale of land reclamation, the number of displaced people exceeded 10,000, and the number of stewards and men also increased.

Since he was already a steward and a man, he could not continue to live in the rows of thatched huts on the hillside.

It is necessary to distinguish people, from clothing, food, housing, transportation, and all aspects, so that everyone can be motivated.

If you work hard, do well, and use your brains, you may be promoted to a buddy, or even a steward.

It's a nice way to motivate.

But Yan Yunge thought it wasn't enough.

For the first few days at the lodge, she was silent.

She went out every day and walked around the fields.

The seeds planted in the spring are all in the ripe season.

In another ten days, the first batch of grain will be harvested in Nirvana Villa.

The land reclamation has finally achieved results.

At the same time, she arranged for people to find some candidates among the homeless, and she was useful.

After wandering around like this for a few days, Yan Yunge found a lot of problems.

There are many people, there are people of all kinds of temperaments, and there are many people who cheat and cheat.

Because everyone eats a big pot of rice, and they have to eat more and less, some people fish in troubled waters and grind foreign workers all day long.

Do a little bit of work and eat more than anyone else.

Yan Yunge was furious!

She took out her old book and bought food to ensure that everyone did not go hungry, but some people regarded her as the wronged leader.

Hehe......

This must change.

……

Syllable! Syllable! Syllable!

The gong was struck.

Three brass rings, this is the signal of the collection.

The people who come to Nirvana Villa to open up the wasteland have already formed a conditioned reflex to the gong.

Every day, the gong is sounded before dawn, and everyone gathers to receive a steamed bun and farm tools to go to the wasteland.

At noon, the gong sounded again, which was a signal to eat.

After lunch, half an hour of rest, and ten gongs, that is the signal to start work.

This time, the three gongs are the signal of the gathering.

The meeting place is on the flat dam next to the cafeteria.

It would still be mid-afternoon, and the sun would be high in the sky.

"Why did you gather so early?"

Someone muttered.

In the past, the sun went down before the work was collected.

"Maybe there's something!"

Everyone talked a lot, carried farm tools, and went to Pingba to gather.

The displaced people were divided into one production group after another.

Each person finds their own team leader, hands in farm tools, and the team leader is responsible for statistics.

A group of people standing together.

Between groups, there is a clear distinction.

Yan Sui is the chief steward of Fugui Villa, and in the minds of the homeless, it is the master who says the same.

He held a tin horn, stood on the high platform, and coughed lightly, "Hey, hey, can you hear me?" ”

Rumble!

The homeless people were surprised at first, why was it so loud.

Then he burst into laughter and shouted in unison, "I can hear you." ”

Yan Sui coughed again and again, "It's good to hear it!" Convening everyone today is a good thing to announce. What's the good thing, it's about clearing the wasteland. ”

Cut!

The displaced people who first came here to open up the wasteland, after a few months, they have all become old fritters, and they dare to choke with Yan.

Of course, it's all a joke.

Yan Sui interacts with the homeless people on weekdays, and his attitude is relatively friendly, and he doesn't care about some small details.

He yelled, "Don't make any noise, don't make any noise." Do you want to listen to it? I can tell you that what is going on next is about eating for each of you, and whether you have any food left over for the winter this winter. First things first......"

Yan Sui announced three things.

The first thing is to cancel the big pot of rice and change it to work every day to receive food.

After receiving the food, the problem of eating was solved by himself.

Eat dry or drink thin, make your own decision.

Whether there is enough food to eat depends on whether you work hard to open up the land.

The more land is cleared, the more food you will receive every day.

As long as you don't cheat, work hard, and save food, you will definitely be able to save a batch of food for the winter when you wait until winter.

If you don't want food, you can convert it into copper plates.

The second thing, the big welfare. Whoever clears 50 acres of wasteland can get 5 acres of low-rent land.

What is low-rent land?

A field that only collects 30% of the rent is called a low-rent field.

You must know that the market price in this year, the field rent is 55%, and the normal lease of the field has to pay 50% of the rent.

There are black-hearted and powerful landlords, and the rents have received sixty percent or seventy percent.

After a year of hard work, the villagers only had to pay 30% of the grain and pay taxes, so it is conceivable that the grain will definitely not be enough to eat.

What if there is not enough food to eat, you can only borrow.

The profits will never be finished. Always in debt.

In the end, they can only go bankrupt and become homeless, or sell themselves as slaves, make cattle and horses, and die in vain.

Therefore, as soon as this plan was proposed, the eyes of all the displaced people present were shining.

You only need to pay 30% of the rent, even if you have to pay taxes, the rest of the food, save a little, it will definitely be enough to eat.

With food, there is no need to gnaw tree bark, eat wild vegetables, and go out to escape the famine.

That's enough food to feed a family.

If you can open up 100 acres of wasteland, you can get 10 acres of low-rent land.

If the family worked hard and cleared 200 acres of wasteland, wouldn't they be able to get 20 acres of low-rent land!

Wow!

All the displaced people were excited.
