Chapter 221: Borrowing Grain Seeds
"Steward Sheng, you came just in time, this is Shi Caogen father and son from Dawan Village......"
Ziyu introduced the Shi family father and son to Shengxing, and did not forget to barter.
"What Daxiawan lacks most now is the dyeing workshop, and you are responsible for this!"
Ziyu, who was accustomed to being the shopkeeper, handed over the matter to Steward Sheng, and continued to go to the market.
When I met a barbecue seller, I also came early in the morning to have a few skewers.
After Ziyu adjusted the recipe several times, the taste of barbecue has approached that of roadside stalls in later generations, affordable and authentic.
It's a big bunch for a penny, and it's absolutely affordable and delicious.
People who rush to the market like to take a few skewers home when they leave, and the two barbecue stalls are the best business in the whole market.
When the outside is not green, Daxiawan is full of fireworks, and lives a life of eating and drinking.
…
When the spring planting in Kanzi Village was completed, the wasteland of the refugees outside the wall was also reclaimed, but they were worried that there were no seeds to plant.
The refugees crouched together in front of the open gate, gazing greedily at the sown fields.
The smell of dung blown by the wind smelled in the noses of the refugees as if they were smelling a good harvest.
Having seen the refugees killed by the escort team, no one dared to take half a step, even if the door was open.
The big knife on the waist of the guard guarding the door was a real guy who had drunk human blood and cut off his head.
Yu Er, the guard who changed guards, pressed one hand on the big knife at his waist, and walked to the door to stand still.
"What are you doing around! Are you done with all the work in the fields? ”
When Pu Qingwu heard the movement below, he poked his head out to look at it and then retracted his head, feeling a pity in his heart that he hadn't encountered a good thing in a fight!
Pu Qingwu looked at the sky in the distance and was a little distracted, Luo Hao took the two team members back to Andong Mansion, and his home was in Yecheng.
Because of the war, the two places belonged to different camps.
When he came back, he went around to Yecheng to help find his family, but he didn't know if he could find it.
…
The life of Daxia Bay is stable and united, compared with the days when there are two days of war outside, one in the sky and one on the ground.
At this time, a group of people nested in Daxia Bay did not know that the world was divided into three outside.
In this spring ploughing season, all three parties specialize in farming, because food is the foundation of their survival.
"Captain, those refugees have no seeds to go to the ground, should we take care of this?"
After Yu San knew the reason why the refugees were squatting at the gate, he went to the wall outpost to ask for advice.
"This matter is under the care of Village Chief Dai, the castle lord has already explained this matter, I will ask Dai Jiang."
Pu Qingwu's expression tightened when he heard this, he knew the arrangement of the castle lord as early as when he changed guards.
It can't be Dai Jiang's private swallowing!
Pu Qingwu, who was puzzled, immediately went down the wall and went into the village to find Dai Jiang, and found that he was mixing something with wheat in the yard.
Pu Qingwu stared at the tiger and shouted.
"Village Chief Dai, are you guilty?"
Dai Jiang, who was mixing wheat seeds with his heart, heard the familiar shouting of his subordinates, and when he looked up, he saw that Pu Qingwu had already drawn half of his sword.
Dai Jiang was so frightened that he sat on the ground, his hands shook again and again, and he explained hurriedly.
"Captain Pu, you're mistaken!
It was the lord of the castle who asked me to do this, saying that it would reduce pests and diseases and people stealing food. ”
"Oh, the castle lord made you do this, why didn't you say it earlier!"
When Pu Qingwu heard that it was the castle lord's order, he immediately inserted his sword back into the scabbard and smiled embarrassedly.
"Our castle master just knows a lot, and there is something that is mixed with it!"
"The lord of the castle said that it was mixed with poison, so that no one would steal the seeds.
Otherwise, before the harvest is harvested, people will eat it all. Dai Jiang squeezed Pu Qingwu's eyes and said.
"Captain, you understand, those people can better stay outside if they have food.
Instead of letting us keep raising them, and besides, with the little firewood they cut in winter, how can they exchange it for food. ”
"That's right, as long as there is something to eat, there is no fear that no one will come to run, and the strength is just around the corner.
Not only that, but it can also solve the problem of those bachelors in Daxia Bay. Pu Qingwu said obscenely.
Both men were from the past, so of course they knew what that meant.
…
When Pu Qingwu and Dai Jiang each came out pushing a cart of seeds, the eyes of the refugees who were squatting suddenly lit up.
The eyes were brighter than when the hungry wolf saw the sheep, but he didn't dare to take half a step beyond the thunder pool.
The big knife shown by the guards is not vegetarian.
"Each family receives two acres of wheat seeds, and those who want to die will eat it secretly.
In order to prevent someone from stealing it, the seeds have been soaked in poison, and they are all sober for Lao Tzu. ”
Pu Qingwu looked at the refugees outside the door with full momentum, and roared in a deep voice.
Frightened, the refugees nodded their heads again and again, for fear that if they were one step slower, the seeds would not have their share.
"My lord, we promise not to steal a seed, it is a seed that is related to the life of the family."
"My lord, we have been farming for generations, and we know very well the importance of seeds to the land, and we definitely don't mess around."
……
"Hmph, don't just talk nicely, the seeds are not for you.
After the autumn harvest, each family has to pay 20% of the grain, which is not only the cost of protecting you, but also the seed fee.
Do you understand?"
Pu Qingwu only knew before he came out that the castle lord meant to only recover the amount of seeds lent out.
Twenty percent was added by him temporarily, and if these refugees stayed outside, it was impossible for the escort team to watch and ignore it.
The brothers have to pay some money for their hard work, and it is also to make the refugees cherish their existing life more.
As soon as the refugees heard this, they suddenly burst into a loud roar.
"Lord Xie, Lord Xie!"
All the refugees knelt down and kowtowed in unison, and none of them dared to think about it, and they knew better than anyone how heavy the rent and taxes were for farming.
When you meet a benevolent rich man, you have to collect 40% of the rent, and that is when you dig your own seeds and farm tools.
Like them now, all the farm tools and seeds are produced by Kanzi Village, which is a big advantage.
"Get up!
These are the lord's care for you, don't learn from those who are ungrateful.
Since the castle master can give you benefits, you can take it back at any time.
Elect a man in charge to come out and receive wheat seeds from each household.
The amount of two acres of land in a family, don't give Lao Tzu a foot that can't go down, dense does not mean that the yield is high.
The specific planting will be guided by the village chief Dai.
This is a cultivation method invented by our castle master, and the yield is much higher than the cultivation method that you have passed down from generation to generation. ”
In Pu Qingwu's view, the credit must be the castle owner's.
His family is also a small rich man in Yecheng, and his family owns hundreds of acres of land.
With a yield of more than 200 catties per mu, only the most fertile land can have this yield.
The production of the middle and lower places was only lower, but fortunately, because he was a military general, his family could be exempted from taxes.
After several years of famine and war, Pu Qingwu did not know what was going on at home.
I can only pray that my family is safe, and I don't think about anything outside my body.
