"Xiao Qi, remember in the beginning, your village used crab baskets. If you have such a good method, why not use it then?"
Feng Gui followed the team, including Xiaqiu Village. A total of 6,000 people were dispatched to the 22 villages in Xuancheng County.
There are only 20 people in Xiaqiu Village who are in charge of leading, and a team of 300 people is scattered in parts of Danyang Lake and Shijiu Lake.
Six thousand people are still too few compared to the two lakes. These two lakes were once inhabited, but they were always flooded.
The fields and houses that were finally built were destroyed by the floods.
At present, there are only about 200 families living in this area scatteredly, and the court is not willing to take care of it. They come here to collect the land tax personally. The time wasted doing other things, which is more than the land tax collected.
In recent days, they have seen people coming to catch crabs, and they have joined in to get money.
"The riverside at that time was not suitable for digging holes, and there were few manpower. The work was tiring, the food was not good, and it was difficult to recover."
Xiao Qi couldn't help but feel relieved when she mentioned what happened in the past. Sorry, I finally got over it.
"Yes, I have fifty large animals in Xihe Village this year, which is enough. Any additional money earned will be shared with everyone. I will follow the example of your village and keep some ministerial money."
Feng Gui then lamented that they were all living the same hard life. Fortunately, Xiaqiu Village tied up a fairy to lead everyone towards a better life.
Your own village must keep up. Once you fall behind, you will not be able to catch up.
"Zhu Xiaoqi, come here." A man of nearly fifty years old greeted Xiaoqi.
Xiao Qi glanced at Feng Gui and walked over, "Uncle Wu, I won't give you the money until tomorrow morning."
"I know, I all know. I've been here for ten days, so I'll do it in the evening." Work, get paid in the morning, based on the number of crabs you catch.
I want to discuss something with you. I heard everyone said that your Xiaqiu Village makes money with a group of villages.
I used to have contacts with your village, but after the war, it became a mess and I didn’t want to go out.
Can you tell me whether my land can be used to plant wheat and harvest rice, but nothing has been planted?"
p>The person named Wu was slightly bent at the waist and had a sad look on his face. He was obviously stimulated. Others began to eat a lot of food.
He did not pay land taxes or do any labor, but his life was miserable.
Xiao Qi showed a sympathetic look, "Uncle Wu, if you can plant it, you can plant it in time. We are south of the Yangtze River. If we move to the north of the Yellow River, it will be too late to plant wheat and there will be no seedlings."
"Then my family will give the money they have earned recently to your village. Your village will rent our livestock and sell us some seeds. You go back and discuss it with the village chief."
Wu Boti asked, and he Using the light, he carefully looked into Xiao Qi's eyes, with a pleading look in his eyes.
"Uncle Wu, listen to me. Don't worry about the money. You will pay it back after harvesting the wheat next year. You have to eat something good. After planting the wheat, you need to topdress and weed the weeds.
< p>Stay strong, you guys usually go with me to fetch the animals tomorrow, dig out the ground first,Apply base fertilizer.Ask other people to see if they are willing to do it. They happen to be together, with more than 200 households, but they are relatively scattered. "
Xiao Qi nodded and agreed, and would not charge immediately, but let people use the money to buy things, especially seasonings, and cook fish. The fish is in the lake.
"You Let's discuss it now." Uncle Wu looked at the stars and estimated the time.
"There is no need to discuss it with the chief. The chief is busy in Nanjing, so I will make the decision. I will go to the chief for everything. The director is exhausted. Hey hey hey hey"
Xiao Qi said and laughed, and the laughter was naturally unified by the whole village. Hey.
"Xiao Qi, you are responsible for what you say"
"What he said works. The business in Xiaqiu Village is booming. What does this mean?" Feng Gui confirmed from the side.
"That's great. I'll ask them. If it happens next year, we will also pay the land tax." , but you can't ask the government to catch you. If you are poor, they won't care. If you have more food, they will definitely come to your door. ”
Uncle Wu said as he went to find other people living nearby. No matter how far it was, he would have to wait until tomorrow. He couldn’t delay catching crabs.
He had thought it through. When there was nothing, the Yamen I really don’t care. If you plant a large field of wheat, you must pay the land tax.
In the middle of the night, a boat came over and said, "We, the head of each village, wrote back and asked everyone to pick chrysanthemums and use them as medicinal materials." , collected by the village. ”
“I have never seen chrysanthemums anywhere near my village. I would have known if I could just find a place to plant some.” "
"Yes, go east, there are wild chrysanthemums in the tombs, go pick them. "
"There are many in my village. I used to look at it and then ignore it. Since it is a medicinal material, I picked it. "
"Last year they said they were medicinal materials, but your village didn't listen. There were still many that looked like grass. I sold them to Xiaqiu Village last year and got 422 Wen. ”
“Your village is close to Xiaqiu Village. Who in our village cares about sending messages and delaying me from making money.” ”
The boat left here and continued to tell other places. The people here tied the crabs with straw and put them in baskets while talking about collecting herbs.
They were sick. Those who are close to the county town will go to the Huimin Pharmacy in the county town. If the medicine is available in the pharmacy, they will take it home for use.
If the pharmacy does not have it, they will ask which medicine is better and go there. The pharmacy in Xiaqiu Village provides medicines.
Many medicines in Xiaqiu Village come from Tai Hospital, which is equivalent to the village’s Huimin Pharmacy. Others come to buy medicines and have to give them.
The only drawback is. There is no one to see a doctor, so we can only get prescriptions from outside.
“Collecting crabs is something rich people eat. Such a big shell and a small amount of meat is not enough to fit between teeth. ”
“Don’t worry about that much, just make money. Why don’t you take back a few and steam them to eat”
“Use the money you earn to buy meat and eat it. Isn’t it good that I am destined to eat crabs?” Get some bacon, chop it with vegetables, make dumplings and fry them in oil. This year, besides selling the rapeseed oil used to buy livestock, my family still has a lot of oil left. ”
“The same goes for my family. I think ramie oil is more fragrant than rapeseed oil. Eating oil really saves food.The leftovers after pressing the oil are used to feed livestock and chickens. ”
“Without Xiaqiu Village, I can’t imagine how long the hard life would have been.” ”
“The masters from Xiaqiu Village are really awesome”
On the tenth day of September, Magistrate Song went to the government office in the morning and saw the people from Xiaqiu Village and the things they had sent. The crabs and honey were sent to the officials of Ningguo Mansion again. As before, the officials of Ningguo Mansion and Xuancheng got a share, and they were given cotton cloth and salted duck eggs.
p>Yamen are not suitable for eating crabs and honey, it is too luxurious.
The prefect of Song was more concerned about replying to the letter. In order to deliver the letter quickly, he sent a small boat all the way to the Qinhuai River, and then Go against the current for a while.
Then there is a long journey back. Everything in Xiaqiu Village has been delivered, but the boat has not returned yet.
Zhifu Song invited the people in Xiaqiu Village. , he sat in front of the desk and read the letter, expressing his admiration.
A master is indeed a master. For the same thing, a master would do something wrong, but he would take advantage of the situation.
The people were asked to help with dredging, dredging, and fertilizing.
The result was that the government was at a disadvantage and the people were taking advantage of the situation.
Don’t worry, the people will work hard. Work. Then the same method can be used for mining phosphate rock, and the people will take it home and grind the stone.
