Chapter 126: The Distress of Becoming More and More Numerous

Fan Jingjing knew that the name of Zhenguan would soon emit a bright light, as long as Li Jing wiped out the Turks. It won't be too long before now.

"There were so many celebrities in the early Tang Dynasty, I don't seem to know a few yet?

I heard that after crossing over, you will meet people who are famous people, and you will also do great things in the future.

I only know the emperor's family so far, so what will I become?

The beauties fighting around the harem don't seem to have this sign, and Li Shimin didn't show interest in me.

The previous worries were like jokes. ”

Fan Jingjing felt that she hadn't been to Chang'an for a long time, and her house in Chang'an was probably dusty.

And women like to go shopping the most, although Fan Jingjing is not like a woman, she will also break out the mood of shopping, and after buying, buying, buying, and buying, the unhappiness in her heart will go away.

As for the things bought, most of them would become trophies from her friends.

"Big lady, it's a little messy outside now, it's better to go out less."

Food prices are rising, and there are always people who are already starving to death who can't survive.

If it is a guy in the shop, most of them will ask their owner to help them tide over the difficulties, but not everyone has a good owner, some people can't survive, see that others can be fed and clothed, and feel that the whole world owes him, if at this time, he sees the hungry cry of his children, even the usually honest people, will stand up and take risks.

It's not good to do bad things inside the city, and some people will choose to do it outside the city.

Therefore, the security inside and outside Chang'an City has become unstable, and people can naturally not live in peace as before.

Even if you are dressed shabby, he will search your pocket for some cold food or Kaiyuan Tongbao.

It is already good not to take your life and take your clothes away.

So recently, even farmers outside the city are reluctant to go out alone, even small traders who go to the morning market outside the city to sell goods, there are many fewer people, even if they go out, they are still together.

In fact, there are many small vendors selling food. During this time, there is no way to open, the raw materials are too expensive, and if you don't sell the products in time, you have to lose them in your hands.

However, the raw materials are expensive, and the products sold are also expensive, and there are fewer people who buy them, and it is normal to have some leftovers that cannot be sold.

If you put some products that can't be sold and sell them for a long time, it is often easy to have problems.

So the conscientious vendors will not come out of the stall.

I don't have any money if I don't go out of the stall, so I have to do odd jobs everywhere, otherwise I won't be able to get by.

However, there is no official management of the grass market, it is not to the east and west markets, there are official people to manage, and taxes are collected, plus the east and west markets have to pay a rent, and the things sold in the shops are more expensive, but there are fewer deceptive things.

If the family is relatively wealthy, or people who have more money to spare, they like to buy in the East and West markets. Buying things in the grass market is too much of a test of people's eyesight.

Don't think that the farmers outside the city won't cheat, even if something is bad, they will find a way to sell it for a good price.

"Big lady, you can wait for the next school holiday, and follow the prince and princess back to Chang'an."

Among the more than 100 people, women and children accounted for the majority. During this time, some wild people were received on the mountain, and the strong men under Fan Jingjing did not increase by a few.

There were more than 200 more women and children.

In the past, when a man in the family died, these women and children would find a way to find the next man. However, after Fan Jingjing appeared sideways.

The object that these women and children rely on has become Fan Jingjing.

Because Fan Jingjing has trading behavior with the wild people in the mountains, the wild people in the mountains also know the situation of Fan Jingjing's family very well. So they have attached themselves to it.

Both women and children want to rely on their own hands to get a good life.

Some of the women of Datang are relatively strong, and as wild women, not to mention their own strength.

Zhang Yue'e quickly became the housekeeper of Fan's Manor by Fan Jingjing's side, from an attached savage. Responsible for internal business. Sun Erlang is the male butler and is responsible for external business.

There are also relatively heavy workshops in the farmland, which are in charge of Sun Erlang.

The affairs of the family, as well as the detailed work of the female workers, are in charge of Zhang Yue'e.

Fan Qi doesn't have any specific work, but she is often by Fan Jingjing's side and is also in charge of kitchen affairs.

At this time, it was Zhang Yue'e who opened her mouth to advise Fang Jingjing.

Zhang Yue'e can be said to be the first savage woman to come to rely on Fan Jingjing.

When she came down to exchange fur and food with Fan Jingjing and them, she keenly observed the state of Fan's Manor, and announced a few days later that she would devote herself to being a dragon or a slave in Fan's Manor.

Fan Jingjing accepted her, and did not make special arrangements, but according to the rules, she had everything, and the children she brought could still study and work.

Zhang Yue'e was moved by this, she is a woman after all, although her personality is relatively strong, but she has no son, only a daughter, it can be said that her future is not stable, many people persuade her to find a man, but she feels that men can not be relied on, most of them have to rely on her to raise, the only advantage is that men can bring children.

Originally, there was only one girl, and she should have wanted to have a few more children, but she knew very well that the wild man did not have much material to raise more children.

Her girl, he doesn't want to be like her in the future, and can only rely on others to survive.

Here in Fan Jingjing, she saw an opportunity for a woman to come out, so she defected to Fan Jingjing.

On the first day, she knew the rules of Fan Jingjing's Fan Manor, and felt that she had finally found the right place.

After consulting Sun Erlang, she brought down a lot of people in the mountain, although the addition of many people made Fan Jingjing's pressure greater, but she knew that the manpower he needed had also increased.

She helped these people get a household registration as soon as possible. These household registrations are independent.

"I can only hire you to work for me, you are still independent and free people, and you can change your door at any time."

Fan Jingjing's words did not make others feel happier, but the difference between slaves and good people in Datang is very different in terms of various benefits and rights, especially for the marriage of children.

"We are a big workshop, and you work here for a salary, and the pay is better than outside. Work here, eat and live. After saving money, you can buy land and build a house outside. But it can still work with us.

Some people have to sign a confidentiality agreement because they have to take over secret work, but the people who can go in and work are people who do well on the outside, and they get paid more when they work inside. ”

"The phenomenon of drought has been determined, and perhaps it was I who first proposed it, so the emperor wants to ask and see what my opinion is! The last time there was a locust plague, the method I proposed was more or less used, at least it didn't make food prices ridiculously high, and you must know that spring is the time when food prices are at their highest. At this time, there is no green and yellow, and there is not much prey even in the wild. ”

"The eldest lady has hunted a lot of prey......"

"It's not the skin I killed, it's not the skin I peeled, don't count it on me. I'll be scared when I see bloodshed! I just gave some advice, and although those children don't have a lot of ability, catching some chicks and ducklings is not a big problem.

However, during this time, there was really too much hunting, and there were a lot fewer wild animals nearby, so they had to be forbidden to hunt for a while. ”

"It's almost summer, but the new crops haven't been planted yet, and even if they do, they won't grow much because of the drought. He looked like he was about to die...... The fields in our Fan family's pastoral are exceptional. It's just that we continue to open up the fields and plant the seedlings during this time, will it be too late to grow before winter? ”

"Most of the crops I am planting now take 90 to 150 days to grow, and some take a few years to grow.

Fan Jingjing didn't find a hot spring, otherwise she would have been more confident, she would have wanted to build a greenhouse, but at this time it was more difficult to find plastic film, and she might only be able to make glass.

It is very difficult to create glass with high transparency and beautiful appearance, but it is not difficult to burn if you want to transmit light and keep warm.

Even though there are two or three hundred people around him now, Fan Jingjing still feels that there are not enough people, and the most important thing is that there is not enough land, so Fan Jingjing is still continuing to reclaim land in the mountains. And a lot of fruit trees were planted on the mountain.

But the problem is that when the number of people continues to increase, it is not easy to make these people make money immediately, and now the grain has become more expensive, and the result of constantly distributing the grain makes the food in Fan Jingjing's hands not last until the autumn harvest.

Although vegetables are able to ripen earlier, reducing the expenditure on food. You can also hunt more meat, and when the children dig eggs, they will see if they can hatch them and keep them to raise, and some goats and wild deer will also keep some of the lower part of the breeding that has not yet grown up.

But the result of a large number of reservations is that Fan Jingjing has already predicted that the time will not be green.

At this time, her salary as a teacher has not come down for a long time, and even if she does, she can't support more than 300 people, and the most important thing is that she wants to buy food at this time, which is too expensive for her to afford.

But now there is no cheap grain to buy outside. The Niu family and the Wei Chi family, who were better with her, did not keep too much food in response to the royal family.

Speaking of which, who has food to borrow at this time?

It seems that there is only the royal family, and the royal family has a lot of farmland, and the Shanghai Forestry Department is helping to plant it.

But the royal idea is not something that everyone can fight.

"Since it's a royal summons, why haven't you seen someone who protects the eldest lady?" Zhang Yue'e asked suspiciously

Fan Jingjing replied a little embarrassed: "Maybe I will think of a way when I see the manpower, so after they told me the news, the people ran away." ”

"Too irresponsible, right? How dangerous is this road? ”

"I haven't been out for a while, but I've only heard from you how dangerous the road has become...... I used to be able to walk on my own, but now I can't? ”

"Why don't you take more people out?"

"There must be some people left in the manor to protect us, not only against the sudden attack of the wild people, but more importantly, the wild beasts do not come for a day. In particular, the wild boars with the greatest impact will not be able to let them destroy our fields. ”

"But the safety of the eldest lady is more important."

"Next door is the East Palace Hotel, maybe I can find some people to accompany me! The prince is very talkative. ”

Zhang Yue'e didn't think the prince was very talkative, but when he talked to Fan Jingjing, he often smiled. said that it was a respect for the teacher, but it was not quite like it, but it rarely disobeyed Fan Jingjing.

Since Li Chengqian now has to take on two aspects of schoolwork, the pressure of homework is heavier than before.

The East Palace Pavilion is larger than the East Palace in the Taiji Palace, and more importantly, there is a larger martial arts hall, Fan Jingjing often moves physical education classes to the East Palace's martial arts hall, not for anything else, the equipment in the East Palace is better. If you use it, you don't need to post it yourself.

"If you want to go to Chang'an, I'll go back to the palace too! It's been a long time since I've said hello to my father and queen mother. ”

Although he was already a neighbor with Fan Jingjing, Li Chengqian didn't have much time to get along with Fan Jingjing.

There are some benefits to being up close. At least he could see what Fan Jingjing was doing, even if he went into the Fan family manor to take a look around, because he was a student of the academy, he would not be hindered in any way.

It's just that in a few workshops, the work area of the core operation cannot be entered, and even the staff in the work area cannot wander around. Everyone is responsible for a part of the work.

However, the final product, the East Palace Hotel, has the opportunity to get a copy for free.

Matches, scarves, and all kinds of delicacies are very popular with the people in the East Palace.

Li Chengqian is not the only one in the East Palace, there are many subordinate officials and palace maids and eunuchs.

Fan Jingjing and the prince and princess have the East Palace to cook, and they often go to eat and drink, but the kitchen is accepted by Fan Qi and some women led by her, and the person in charge of the kitchen in the East Palace can only watch from afar.

When Fan Jingjing's farm began to produce, the vegetables of Fan Jingjing's farm conquered all the people in the East Palace Hotel, and they turned a blind eye to the consumption of food.

Fan Jingjing felt that it was a pity, if she could bring all the people from the Fan family's manor over to eat and drink, she could save a lot of food.

"It's okay, I can help you make up for the lessons in the carriage, you are not very good at math and chemistry......"

"There are so many symbols in it that I can't remember what it means. Can't you write in ordinary words? ”

"Writing in ordinary words, there are too many strokes, and it is difficult to react. Moreover, if you learn advanced chemistry, you also need to use mathematics. Now it's just a matter of memorizing the list of chemical symbols......"

"I can only understand what is called carbon and what is called oxygen, but the carbon and oxygen mentioned in it are not things that I can understand.

I can't understand how two different gases can turn into water.

If we can solve the current problem of drought, this knowledge will be useful. ”
