The few seeds I bought from the merchant had already sprouted and grown.

Grow a piece of leek, a dozen Chinese cabbage that can be cored.

The core-spun Chinese cabbage belongs to the northern vegetables, which is resistant to storage, and is also a rare vegetable in a small mountain village, and no one has ever planted it here.

A few months ago, when the sprouts first appeared, these vegetables were transplanted by Sakura Po and planted in a small vegetable patch in his yard.

Leeks are cut twice when they grow up, and they are used to scrambled eggs to eat, and the taste is very delicious.

Now the Chinese cabbage is more than two feet tall, and each tree used to spread out a large piece, but later Chun Niang wrapped them one by one with straw rope to make them better cored.

It's snowing these days, and Chun Niang has cut down all the cabbage and stacked it in the house.

The other two packets of Fanbang seeds have also grown.

It turned out to be a dozen cotton trees, and a few unknown small vines.

The first time Sakura saw cotton in her previous life was in the garden of the Governor's Palace, where it was regarded as an ornamental flower.

The flowers of the cotton tree are very beautiful, the color is pink and gorgeous, because it is a variety of Fanbang, a large area is planted in the Fuzhong Garden.

It's a pity that these flowers and trees only grow for one year, and when the flowers fail and bear fruit, their branches and leaves wither.

At that time, Sakura Bao was quite free in the house, and because he was interested in the cotton wool of cotton trees, he often went to pick them.

In the end, he picked a small basket, pulled off the cotton seeds inside, and used the basket of cotton wool to make a cotton jacket for himself.

Later, I learned that many aristocratic farms also planted this kind of cotton tree, and the cotton wool picked was so valuable that it could be used for spinning and weaving.

Now her dozen cotton trees have blossomed and borne fruit, and the fruits have exploded, revealing large snow-white cotton wool.

Sakura picked all the cotton wool and piled it in a basket, filling a small basket.

The withered cotton stalks were dug up by her and piled aside for burning the kang.

The cottonseeds were stripped out and replanted, all in the black soil, and it is estimated that it will not be long before they sprout.

By next spring, her family should have a large number of cotton seeds.

Nowadays, cotton cultivation in the Great Qian Dynasty has not yet been popularized, and even after more than ten years, it is still concentrated in the estates of a few aristocratic families.

At this time, it is estimated that even the nobles do not have many plantations. So she had to seize the opportunity to let her own cotton grow first.

You must know that most of the cloth on the market today is linen and arrowroot, a small part is silk and silk cloth that can only be used by nobles, and there are thick velvet blankets spun from wool rabbit hair and other miscellaneous plush fibers.

Even though the Jiang family now has a lot of money, the quilt and mattress are only stuffed with some reeds or loosely beaten straw and hemp silk, which can barely keep out the cold when covered on the body.

As for cotton clothes, the rich people filled them with animal hair and duck feathers, or directly used animal fur to make a large coat.

Most of the poor are still just reeds and flax straw filled with burrs.

Now I am fortunate to get the cotton seeds of Fanbang, and I am really sorry for God's favor for her if she does not grow them.

"Poof! Poop! Poop! Poop! ”

"Listen, every household! The imperial court decreed that each household should receive two liters of rice from the best fields! The inferior field shall pay one liter, and it must be paid within seven days, and the offender shall be punished according to the criminals! ”

The villagers with hats shouted over and over again the gongs, walked around the doors of all the villagers' homes, and then moved on to the next village.

After the villagers left, the villagers walked out of their homes one after another, complaining.

"Sure enough, you have to collect food again, and you won't let people live?"

"Oh my God, our family only has two or three hundred catties of grain left, if we hand it over, our family won't live."

"I'm going to ask Muramasa how this will keep us alive."

Several villagers hid their faces and wept bitterly.

"Let's go, let's go to Chen Sanyou and ask, it's only been a few days, and we're asking for food."

As a result, dozens of villagers came to Chen Sanyou's house and complained.

"His third uncle, where is the food in our family, the last time we paid taxes, we sold most of the grain, and now there are only a little more than two stones left, our family of seven or eight people, just point to this grain for the winter, can you go and talk to Li Zheng, let's make up for it next year?"

"Yes, Sanyou, you can go and talk about it."

"We really can't get by."

Chen Sanyou's head was so loud that he said impatiently: "Okay, okay, listen to me, this is an edict issued by the imperial court, what can I say in a small village?" ”

"But you are also working for the imperial court, Third Uncle Chen, you can't ignore us."

"Yes, Sanyou, go to Lizheng and ask, let's hand over all the food, and the whole family will starve to death..."

"Muramasa, you can't ignore our life or death."

"Woooooooooo Third uncle, please help us talk about it..."

"Third Uncle Chen, only you can talk to Li Zheng, can't you go and discuss with him..."

Chen Sanyou, who was arguing with everyone, was upset. He said with a calm face: "Since you are not satisfied with my village, it happens that my term of office will expire next year, so you can choose whoever you like." ”

He's had enough of this torture. Coming here a few times a year, Chen Sanyou has long been exhausted.

He was reprimanded by Li Zheng for not urging taxes and grain, and he was scolded by the villagers for urging too hard, hey, he was half buried in the soil, why bother to suffer this crime.

The Jiang brothers also heard the sound of the villagers urging food, calculated the amount of money they should pay, endured the pain, measured the full amount of food, and sent it to the town in a board car.

Jiang Saburo has a total of 60 acres of fields, 20 acres of high-grade fields, and 40 acres of low-grade fields, including the mulberry and elm fields in the north and the dry land in the south mountains.

However, regardless of whether these fields are grown for grain or not, as long as you have so much land in your property register, you must pay it per acre.

In this supplementary levy, Jiang Saburo had to hand over a total of 80 liters of grain, that is, 200 catties smaller.

Two sacks of rice were taken away from the family warehouse at once, and his heart ached to the point of dripping blood, but he couldn't help but hand it over.

In the past few days, the villagers who have been collecting grain have been beating gongs and shouting every day, and after shouting for five or six days, many villagers in the village still cannot pay their grain.

Early the next morning, Sun Li was leading a dozen villagers to start collecting from house to house.

In the cold winter, the villagers who had been taken away from the grain wailed and lay on the snow and wept bitterly.

Some people beat their chests and were grief-stricken, and the children around them were also crying, so miserable.

Sakura Bao took Yoyo and looked at this scene, and felt heavy in his heart.

The villagers' only remaining food rations were taken away, and they didn't know how to live in the future, and how the whole family would survive the whole winter.

One of the families was the most miserable, with several children in the family, the eldest being only twelve or thirteen, and the youngest being only three or four years old.

In his previous life, this man was forced to go out to chop firewood and sell it for money on a snowy day, but when he went down the mountain with firewood, he accidentally fell down the slope and was poked in the thigh by firewood, and was found to have frozen to death on the mountain a few days later.

Later, the woman also hanged herself, leaving four helpless children wandering in the village, and the east family begged the west family for a scoop, and finally only two older children survived.

Seeing the tragedy happen again, Sakura only felt panicked.

When she returned home, she put Yo You in the deer shed, and Ying Bao went back to the house to go to the kang and went into the cave to plant grain again.

Originally, she didn't want to plant it because she was too tired, but today's scene made her heart palpitate and realize the importance of rice grain.

No matter what time it is, there is no shortage of food.

From now on, she must save a large amount of rice and noodles in the cave mansion to be at ease.
