On the second day of the first lunar month, the chief beckoned people, don't rest, there was nothing to do in the winter of previous years, women would weave, and men would pick up the yard.

Not this year, how can you be idle if you eat so well?

They brought fried rice, water bladders, shovels, and sacks, and drove their cattle and carts to the north to dig the earth.

They had already dug up a lot of peat and piled it up on the wasteland north of the village.

There were not enough carriages, and they continued to be built.

Zhu Wentian didn't do manual work, he took his friends to feed bamboo rats, sheep, five pigs, ducks and chickens that were not killed.

"One plus one gets two, one plus two gets three, one plus three gets four......"

Zhu Wentian began to teach the children the addition formula, first memorized it, then taught subtraction, then multiplication, and division.

The friends follow along and learn as a game.

When the children were feeding and reciting, Zhu Wentian found dried bamboo and made calculations while watching the children.

Beginners in arithmetic can't think about it according to the thinking of people who have studied it for many years, and they have to come little by little.

Unless you meet a genius, like yourself.

***

If so, a month passed until February.

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the village is busy, and when you have money, you can be lively every day.

The friends compared each other's memorization, and finally memorized the formulas of addition, subtraction and multiplication.

The people in the village already knew that when the child came back to recite it, he said that Brother Han taught it.

If you don't ask the village guards, you don't know.

"Brother Hanhan, the bamboo shoots are out, let's dig the bamboo shoots?"

After feeding the bamboo rat, the little girl came to Zhu Wentian.

"Okay! Hey! Zhu Wentian nodded.

A group of people ran to the bamboo forest to look for bamboo shoots, when the bamboo shoots were just emerging and were tender.

"Brother Hanhan, wait for the day to get hot again, there are mushrooms in the bamboo forest, and there are merchants who come to collect them, and the money given is not low!"

The little girl dug out a bamboo shoot and put it in the basket and talked about making money.

"Mushrooms?" Zhu Wentian forgot to pretend to be stupid for a while.

"Like an umbrella, with holes, black overhead." The little girl gestured to introduce.

"Good! Hey, hey, hey! Mushrooms are good! "Zhu Wentian is happy, as long as someone accepts it.

He thought that Zhusun was only valuable in the Qing Dynasty, but he didn't expect that someone would collect it and sell it in the early Ming Dynasty.

There are few wild bamboos, but it doesn't matter, we can grow them.

A kind of blockbuster, where to reason?

***

The weather is getting warmer, and the village should grow vegetables.

In the past, cotton and ramie fields are now fertilized, and more livestock are raised, and the amount of farm manure has increased.

This year, everyone is going to plant all the ramie fields into cotton, and harvest cotton to weave cloth and make clothes.

Next month, the cotton will be planted first, and the rice seedlings will be raised with the good land set aside, and then the rape and ramie will be harvested, and the rice will be planted as soon as possible.

As time passed, more and more bamboo shoots came out, and Zhu Wentian didn't plan to keep the bamboo shoots for a long time, he didn't have a refrigerator.

He began to teach children to write number symbols, one, two, three, four, five, six......

At this time, the Ming bookkeeping was used, and it is said that after a few years, the accounts had problems, and they were changed to one, two, three, and wanton......

Both should be taught, the simple ones are taught first, and the strokes are few.

"Captain, Hanhan has taught children to read again."

The little girl's father came to the chief and whispered while ploughing the wasteland.

"Good literacy, the village keepers in our village have saved us money to go to school.

A few years ago, I planned to send my children to the outside school when the village had more money, but now I don't need to.

That day Hanhan bought pen, ink and paper, and I wondered about the strangeness. The baby who has been raised for 12 years is enlightened! ”

With a smile on his face, he didn't care why he suddenly became literate!

The little girl's father nodded vigorously: "Can 400 acres of land be opened up this year, and all the grass with purple flowers will be planted?" ”

He felt sorry for the good field, and when he transported the soil, he was so tired that his back hurt.

If it weren't for the large number of large livestock in the village, when would the 400 acres of wasteland be turned over?

The big animals went into battle together, ploughing a hundred acres of land a day, and they didn't use it yet! Oh, my God! I have to laugh in my dreams.

"If Han Han wants to plant, plant it for him, don't doubt that Han Han will talk in the future, the village guards will harm you? Do you have meat to eat? ”

The governor emphasized discipline and was not allowed to question the village keepers, questioning was distrust, distrust was opposition, and opposition was a violation of the oath and a violation of the oath...... It's over.

"Plant, plant and feed the livestock." The little girl's father shrunk his neck.

The men worked, and the women cooked at the edge of the fields, and used the money of the village to cook in large pots of rice for the wasteland opened up for the village.

People from other villages come to see from time to time to see that the rape and hemp in the field are about to bloom, can they bloom normally?

Feng Gui of Xihe Village naturally also came, he found the lieutenant chief, handed over two fish, fished from the river, took back a pound of mutton before, and now gives the fish.

"How good it is to feed your child." The governor took the fish and threw it to the cook, and it was just done.

"Yes, it's not enough."

Feng Gui said with a smile that for him, economic strength determines social status.

Xihe Village is much larger than Xiaqiu Village, and its population is larger, but no one has any money.

Look at the things ready to cook next to you, tofu, bacon, and bundles of rice noodles are soaked in a basin of water.

"How can there be endless fish? Bring candy for your child when you go back. The lieutenant shook his head.

"The child has a toothache when he eats sugar, and the newly opened waste? Growing cotton? ”

Feng Gui changed the topic and looked at it enviously.

A large herd of cattle, lined up to plough the land, look at the way of not rushing hard, keep your strength!

The chief didn't say anything directly, but said: Look.

After chatting a few more words, Feng Gui was about to go back after observing the rape, and the chief gave him a bag of glutinous rice candy and a few pieces of rock sugar, which were much more valuable than two fish.

He didn't bring the fish, and the lieutenant promised not to give him sugar.

At noon, the chief looked left and right: "Call Hanhan to eat." ”

"Here, here, there's a group over there."

Someone with sharp eyes saw a group of children running here from a distance.

There was a smile on the chief's face, and when Zhu Wentian came closer, he beckoned: "Eat, go wash your hands." ”

"Hmmm! Hehehe! Zhu Wentian took his friends to wash their hands, wash their hands before and after meals, and boil water to drink, which was still his request.

For lunch, we eat bacon and stewed tofu, and rice noodles are the staple food.

Li Chang ate two bites, waited for Zhu Wentian to finish eating a bowl of rice noodles, and asked, "Do you have enough seeds left to plant this land?" Four hundred acres. ”

Zhu Wentian looked up stunned, and shook his head thoughtfully: "Half, well, half." ”

"What's left?" The lieutenant continued to ask.

"Uh...... Beans, tofu to eat, hehe! Zhu Wentian chose to plant soybeans, soybeans to raise land, 200 acres can produce a lot of beans.

With a long chin and a line of beans, he sandwiched a piece of bacon and went over: "There are not enough beans in the village, go and buy it, do you want to sell sugar again?" ”

Zhu Wentian stopped his chopsticks and silently calculated in his heart, it's no problem to sell it again, what is the money used to buy?

After a few dozen breaths, he looked at the chief: "Sell, buy beans, wheat, and cattle." ”

"It's spring, and the cattle are expensive!" The governor reminded that everyone is waiting to farm!

"Buy, uh-huh!" Zhu Wentian gritted his teeth, he bought it if it was expensive, he was useful.

"Let's eat! It's cold for a while. "Captain, this is agree.
