Chapter 195: Harvest

Because of the favorable time and place, Daxia Fort perfectly repelled the locusts, and all the grain was returned to the warehouse.

This locust plague did not cause any damage to Daxia Castle.

On the contrary, people who raise chickens and ducks have eggs to pick up every day.

The grain harvest was abundant, and the grain lent by Ziyu and the rent that should be collected were recovered.

More than 30,000 loads of grain filled all the empty rooms and attics in the house, and even the corridors of the main courtyard were piled with sacks.

The benefits of having more rooms are immediately reflected.

Otherwise, there is really no place to put this season's grain.

In order to make room for the house, except for Steward Sheng and Chen Da's family, the rest of the people in the mansion moved to the suite in the valley to live.

There are only 11 people living in the courtyard of Nuoda.

The rest of the people are the same as going to work, leaving at the end of the day.

With their own small families, the enthusiasm of the people under them is also high.

Because there are piles of food everywhere, in order to prevent rats from infesting, Ziyu gives Snow Wolf another new duty, catching mice.

Every household in Daxiawan has a full warehouse of grain, and the grain recovered is enough for a year's ration, not counting the sweet potatoes and cobs confiscated in the field.

For the hungry villagers, each family has two or three acres of cobs.

Under the guidance of Chen Da, he planted sweet potatoes in the cobs field.

The two crops are mixed together, which is the first time that the people of Daxia Village have seen it.

The experience passed down from generation to generation has led the people of Daxia Village to believe that mixing two crops together will only rob each other of nutrients, and in the end they will not get anything.

At first, many people did not believe in this planting method, but after Chen Da's repeated assurances, they followed the planting.

As it turned out, their previous experience was wrong.

One acre of land yields two acres of harvest, which many people dare not match.

Although the sweet potatoes in the field have not yet reached the harvest time, they are larger than they used to plant, and the number of them will not be less.

A stick that is more than one palm long, the grains are full and firm, and it is a good harvest at a glance.

"Hahaha, one season's harvest is enough for two years' rations, and we are all living a good life!"

Old man Hu came out of the stick field, and happened to meet Qiu Laogen, and the two squatted on the ground to talk about the crops.

Because the two families have many children and grandchildren, they divide the people who have a family, and the land they get is ranked in Daxia Village.

Both families are diligent people, and they serve the crops very well, and the harvest will naturally not be bad.

It can be said that the two families with the most harvests in Daxia Village, and the whole family will have no problem eating with an open belly for two years.

Because of the craftsmanship of the old man Hu's family, his income is significantly higher than that of the Qiu family, and he is the number one wealthy family in Daxia Village.

Therefore, there is still some face in Daxia Village.

"Not really!

We can have a good life now, all thanks to the blessing of the castle owner.

A great good man like the castle lord is hard to find in the world! ”

Qiu Laogen took out a wrapped leaf cigarette and lit it, and smoked it with Old Man Hu.

I don't know where this person found the tobacco leaves, and he just sucked out the feeling of marijuana.

"Who is the castle master, that is the gods descending to earth.

Specially to save the poor people from the sea of suffering, we were lucky enough to meet the lord of the castle to take us in.

Otherwise, I don't know how many times the bones have been boiled. ”

Old man Hu was deeply moved by this, Xin'an County was destroyed, and how many people died.

The people who escaped, no one ever mentioned returning to Xin'an County, and the same was true of Zhang Countyling's family.

A life of freedom and abundance made them completely abandon the idea of going back.

Everyone regards Daxia Bay as their second hometown.

Many people can't go back to their original hometown for the rest of their lives, and it's useless to think about it.

Old man Hu spit out a few smoke rings, looking like a tall man.

"My old Hu is really fortunate in his third life, and the house where the castle owner lives is built by me."

The loud voices touted by the two attracted people from the nearby fields.

The people of Daxia Village, who have food at home and are not panicked, squatted on the edge of the ground and expressed their opinions.

Everyone never gets tired of listening to Old Man Hu's words, especially the part about opening up wasteland and building houses.

It can be said that whenever I have time, I like to get together and listen to Old Man Hu talk about the beginning.

With the old man Hu in the audience, he did not refuse to come.

That experience became the most meaningful period of his life, and it was also highly respected.

These are unprecedented honors for a craftsman.

Together with all the craftsmen of Daxiawan, they are respected.

The concept of Daxiawan people is also slowly changing, and in their eyes, reading people are no longer unattainable.

Because as long as there are school-age children in the family, they can receive free admission to the academy to study.

In addition, every seven days, there is a literacy level.

Let those who are willing to learn have the opportunity to read and write.

They also followed the castle owner, calling such an opportunity literacy learning.

The people of Daxiawan, who have come into contact with the ideas of later generations, live a rich and stable life in this mountain far away from the hustle and bustle of the world.

Qiu Degui heard the gossip of a group of people, and the corners of his mouth twitched, and a group of men could blow better than women.

"Starting tomorrow, all the strong laborers will go up the mountain to repair the fortifications and take care of the food!

Sixty women were sent up the mountain to help with the cooking, and each of them arranged the affairs of the house.

Don't think that if you have a good harvest, you can stop working.

If you should grow vegetables in the open field, plant vegetables, don't shout that there are no vegetables to eat in winter, and you can't pull out. ”

Qiu Degui's vulgar and easy-to-understand words made a group of people laugh.

These people no longer have the fear of the people of the palace at the beginning, just because everyone wants to eat and drink Lazar in the same way.

After the autumn harvest is completed, it is definitely necessary to go up to the mountains to work, and the work of repairing the seawall can only be put on hold temporarily.

As soon as the grain was harvested, Ziyu and Libai convened a meeting of the stewards to arrange the repair of the fortifications.

That's why Qiu Degui said it today.

Otherwise, these people will arrange to repair the seawall.

After the unremitting efforts of hundreds of people, most of the seawall of Daxia Bay has been completed.

The completed seawall has stone steps at intervals, which is also convenient for everyone to catch the sea.

In summer, the bay has become a paradise for many people to play in the water in their leisure time.

Xiao Xiang, who occasionally came back, became Ziyu's exclusive mount.

makes everyone envious, but no second person can enjoy this treatment, not even Libai.

The seal family, which has made their home in Daxia Bay, has grown into a family of eight and has become the new favorite of Daxia Bay.

The snow wolf, who is not convinced, likes to bully the seal family the most.

However, the clever seal has to go to Ziyu's house every time to complain.

That humanized action makes women hate to hold it in their arms as a child.

After receiving compensation from Ziyu a few times, the clever seal would send fish to the house from time to time, and occasionally send fish to please the snow wolf.

After a long time, two species that are not related to each other can coexist peacefully.

After the harvest of the fun-filled Daxia Bay, there is plenty of food.

For his own safety, he began to build a stone wall on the mountain.

The vigorous labor scene and the neat sound of the trumpet shook the autumn woods to drop their leaves.
