Chapter 312: A Harvest Year

Taiping City, Donglai Village, Sun Deliang held a sickle in his hand, looking at the corn cobs hanging on the corn stalks in the field, the wrinkles on his face were stretched, although their feet were only reclaimed this year, but they couldn't stand the fertilizer in the mountains, and they took care of it carefully on weekdays, and the farmers were eager to move the beds to the fields to sleep, and they ushered in a bumper harvest in the first year. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoNot only the corn cobs, but also the interplanted soybeans also bent the branches, and this season's harvest turned out to be far more than previously estimated.

"Open the sickle!" Raising the sickle in his hand high, Sun Deliang roared loudly, bent down, held a cluster of soybean seedlings in his hand, and raised the sickle to cut it.

As Sun Deliang made the first slash, the villagers of Donglai Village, who had been impatient, poured into the fields with cheers, women and children laughing and flapping corn cobs, and men wielding sickles and harvesting soybeans and corn stalks. After these corn stalks were cut down, they were finely chopped with guillotines, packed into bags, and sent to Taiping City, but they could also be sold for money, and they were sent to the army to be used as livestock feed.

This is harvest season, and like Donglai Village, dozens of villages built around Taiping City almost all start harvesting their harvest on the same day.

And Taiping City also began to clean up the already empty warehouses and prepare for the arrival of new grain. After a year of hard work, he finally made it to the harvest season, and the worried heart of the Taiping City Lord Ge Qingsheng could finally be calmly put into his stomach.

According to the agreement with the surrounding villages, half of the harvest in the first three years will go to Taiping City and half to the common people. It's been a good year, and filling these warehouses shouldn't be a problem.

After more than ten days of hard work, the fields had become bare, but the village warehouse was full of grain, and the people of a village gathered on the flat ground in front of the warehouse, waiting for their village head, Sun Deliang, to distribute everyone's harvest.

Standing on the stone grinding plate, Sun Deliang looked back at the flowing corn kernels in the wide open barn door, his heart was full of like, a year ago, they were still helpless homeless, and their daily life was expected to be a bowl of porridge that was so rare that they could see the shadow of a person, all of them were yellow and thin, and they were weak, just a clothes rack hanging on their breath, but a year later, they had their own houses, their own fields, and these grains.

"Young and old." He yelled.

"Yo!" He was answered with shouts of joy that were also filled with joy.

"This time last year, we were running for our lives, begging, but this year, we have a house, land, food, and a peaceful and stable life. He asked aloud.

"Taiping City!" His voice was still loud in reply.

"Yes, Taiping City. We, the common people, are the most important and **************, and everything we have today is because of Taiping City and General Li. He turned around, looked in the direction of Taiping City, and bowed deeply.

"According to the agreement with Taiping City, we have harvested half of the grain this year, to hand over half of Taiping City, someone came to me before, hoping that I can report some less harvest, so that everyone can share more, I unceremoniously reprimanded him, people do not believe in us, Taiping City believes in us, we have built a house, divided farm tools, distributed livestock, gave seeds, and gave us the food to survive the difficult years, but when it is time for us to repay, but some people want to discount this reward, everyone said, should it?"

"It shouldn't!"

"This kind of person should be smacked!"

Reprimands rang out from the crowd, and several people bowed their heads red-faced and quietly shrank to the back of the crowd.

"Okay, we still have a lot of Xinyi men in Donglai Village." Sun Deliang nodded again and again: "We have a bumper harvest this year, but how to divide the grain, we still have to have a charter." I have discussed with a few elders that we still have to live tightly this year, not because of lack of food, but because we have to think about the future. There is no food in the warehouse, and everyone is panicking, especially those of us who have been hungry, don't you think? ”

"Yes, the village chief said yes."

So we decided that in the first year, the grain would be divided according to the number of people, and as long as it was a member of the village, the men would be divided according to the amount of three catties a day, and the women and dolls would be divided into two catties a day. After this is divided, the remaining grain will be stored in the public warehouse for emergency needs, do you think it is fair? ”

"Okay, just do what the village chief says."

"The village chief has a point."

"Since everyone has no opinion, within three years, it will be this charter, and after three years, the village will divide all the fields to each family, and when the time comes, it will depend on the ability of each family." Sun Deliang said with a smile.

For the situation in the village, Sun Deliang is clear in his heart, some families have seven or eight families, strong labor, and some families only have orphans and widows left, and they usually can't do much, but as the village head, he can only do his best to take care of them in the three years agreed with Taiping City, three years is enough for these difficult families to find a solution to the problem, the most direct is to find a son-in-law who is inverted, in fact, like this situation, not only they have Donglai Village, but also in the surrounding villages, there are many such cases, These village chiefs are also worried about these things, they are all fellow villagers, and they can't watch these people being trapped, but they have been eating a big pot of rice like this, and other people have opinions, so they can only take Taiping City as an example for three years.

When Qin Feng returned to Taiping City from Shayang County, it was the time for the villages to hand over grain to Taiping City, and along the way, there were endless wheelbarrows, ox carts, donkey carts, etc. His Taiping City Lord was moving a chair and sitting in front of the public warehouse, holding his beard and smiling as he watched the cartloads of grain push into the warehouse.

Is this nothing to do?

It wasn't until the horse monkey ran to his side and stabbed Ge Qingsheng's waist and eye that the city lord, who was happy to see the grain, woke up suddenly, and when he saw Qin Feng standing on the side, he jumped up and ran towards Qin Feng.

"The harvest is coming, the grain is coming, hahaha, don't worry!" Ge Qingsheng smiled and danced.

Until he accompanied Qin Feng back to the City Lord's Mansion, Ge Qingsheng was still in a state of excitement.

"This year's harvest exceeded your expectations?" Qin Feng asked with a smile, the harvest is not only Taiping City, but also Feng County and the county governance that has not been touched by Mo Luobo, even those places that have been poisoned by Mo Luo, after timely replanting, although the harvest has been greatly reduced, it is not much of a problem to feed themselves. Food used to be the biggest problem that plagued Qin Feng, but now, it was the problem that he didn't need to worry about the most.

It is not unreasonable for Mo Luo to want to take Shayang County.

"It is indeed beyond estimates, and the consciousness of these ordinary people is also beyond the estimation of the lower officials. Originally, I thought that there would always be some villages that would be sloppy and pay less food, and they were ready to kill chickens and monkeys, but I didn't want to prepare this play in vain, and there was no chance to perform. Ge Qingsheng said with a smile.

"How are you sure they've all handed over half of their food?" Qin Feng asked with a smile.

Ge Qingsheng smiled: "Don't hide it from the general, in every village, I have one or two eyeliner, and it doesn't take much money to know their usual moves." ”

Qin Feng shrugged his eyebrows, this was a small trick of local officials to rule the place, and he didn't need to put his beak in it.

"I'm not here for your bumper harvest, but because the first molten iron is about to come out of the iron mine, so I have to go and see for myself. I'm here to see if I'm just here to see. Qin Feng smiled, "Why didn't Dr. Shu show up?" And what about Director Wang? ”

Dr. Shu said that he was developing a medicine, and he went into the mountains to find it, and Mrs. Liu said that he wanted to move his hands and feet, so he accompanied Dr. Shu. Director Wang hurriedly descended the mountain yesterday, as if there was some news coming back from there, indicating that Director Wang wanted to go in person. The surname of the person who came over there was Shu, and it seemed that the position was not low. ”

Qin Feng raised his eyebrows, his surname is Shu, then it must be Shu Hui, this guy seems to have bad intentions towards Wang Yueyao, which makes Qin Feng a little confused, when will a person of Shu Hui's status be short of women, how can he have such thoughts about Wang Yueyao? It looks like a lot of work has been put into it. Could it be really a love at first sight?

He smiled and shook his head, believing that Wang Yueyao would have his own attitude in such a matter.

"Well, in that case, I'm going to leave for the mine, and I'm relieved that this year's grain harvest will be bumper." Qin Feng smiled and said, "You are a good city lord. ”

"This is all the credit of the general, and the subordinate is just doing things according to the rules." After receiving the compliment, Ge Qingsheng was happy. Now he, the city lord, is not only in charge of Taiping City, Feng County is gone because Wang Hou is gone, Qin Feng can't find a suitable candidate for a while, and directly puts Feng County under the jurisdiction of Taiping City.

In the depths of the mountain, several blast furnaces rose from the ground, and thick smoke rose up to the clouds, and the whole person lost a lot of weight, and his expression looked a little nervous. He didn't know how to make iron, all the technical things relied on the group of technicians that Qin Feng brought from Shayang County that originally belonged to Old Lady Liu, and all he could do was to supervise these people to do things. For things he doesn't understand, he really doesn't know the bottom of his heart.

"Are you sure? Could it be a problem? Standing in front of the blast furnace, he didn't know how many times he had asked the master beside him.

"Eunuch, you have asked this question more than a hundred times a day today, the old man has practiced iron all his life, can you still not know? There must be no problem, in the past, our small iron ore, the quality is so poor, we can all estimate it, and now the iron ore here is so high that it is the only one seen in the old man's life, and the wool iron that comes out at that time must be of the highest grade. ”

"That's good, that's good." Skillful hands are the same as before, after asking once, the whole body is comfortable. These masters didn't know, but he knew what Qin Feng valued here. Iron, for an army, is too important. (To be continued.) )
