Chapter 398 Potato Harvest

Chapter 398 Potato Harvest

After the donkeys were divided, the silver began to be divided. Five taels of silver were directly handed to the donkey driver, and the whole village watched, eliminating the step of registering to receive it.

With the donkeys and silver, everyone was immersed in joy, and the sound of whispering came one after another.

With so many animals suddenly added, especially the donkeys, which were large in size, the villagers discussed whether to raise them in the back mountain.

The old village chief did not want to break the atmosphere of joy, but the safety issue could not be ignored, and he could not relax when there were many happy events.

While there were many people, he knocked on the gong. Seeing everyone looking at him, he concluded: "We must learn a lesson from this incident. We don't know how long the chaos outside will last. The village must have a governor and guards. In order to avoid the recurrence of Fan Qian and Fan Dazhu, the people who are on duty in the future cannot be from the same family. They must be separated!

Now there is enough money in the public treasury. Next time I go out, I will buy more swords and gongs. There will be one for each of the two people on duty. If I find that one of them is lazy and cunning and doesn't come, I will directly knock on the gong and let the whole village come out to see his face!"

"Good!"

"That's what we should do!"

What happened before the New Year was too tragic!

If Fan Jin hadn't brought people here, I'm afraid Shanshui Village would no longer exist. They are now living a life worse than pigs and dogs.

Even so, five lives were lost in the village and dozens of people were injured! Thanks to the Ding family, they delivered medicine, bandaged, and helped to boil medicine. Otherwise, I don't know how many more lives would have been added among the dozens of injured people.

The old village chief is right. We can no longer arrange people from the same family to guard, to prevent two people from covering up.

If you encounter lazy and cunning people, you can't hide it for the sake of friendship and face!

Shuiqing:... As expected, there is a painful lesson behind every rule.

The old village chief above talked about the silver deposits in the village and said: "We can retreat unscathed this time, no one was injured, and there was no loss of property and livestock, in addition to Shuiqing leading everyone in the village to resist the attack;

Another is to thank Ling Ran for finding the governor, and secondly, thank Wenhua for saving the livestock in the back mountain.

The number of disaster victims and refugees will increase in the future. If there are more, even if it is not a large-scale one, only three or five sneaking to the back mountain, it will be painful to see the livestock we have worked so hard to raise being destroyed, so I thought about continuing to build the wall along the back of the village? What do you think?"

Shuiqing's family, including Feng Damancang's four families, do not need to participate in this topic.

The four families of Feng Damancang belonged to the servants of Shuiqing's family. The silver distributed to them by the village belonged to them. The livestock and the like essentially belonged to the master's family. However, the livestock of Shuiqing's family belonged to the four families to feed. Even the horses and donkeys distributed to Shuiqing were still fed by the four families in the end.

The place above them was large, and there was a hill behind them. There was no need to be together with the villagers of Shanshui Village.

So at this moment, they just followed and listened without expressing any opinions.

When it comes to livestock, even a slightly sensible child knows the importance and waits obediently by the side without making any noise.

The adults have a deep understanding of the old village chief's summary!

These days, they are really worried. They have to worry about the bandits' attack, and they have to worry about whether the people who go out have been found or whether they have encountered any accidents and injuries. When they think of the livestock behind, their nervous hearts almost jump out.

If Hu Wenhua hadn't brought the pigs and sheep back with him, I'm afraid they wouldn't have the heart to eat!

They never want to go through such fear again.

"Build it! Of course we have to build it!"

"It will take more than ten days for the potatoes to be harvested, right? We can just take advantage of this opportunity to build the wall."

There is nothing to do in the first month of the year. In the past, we had to visit relatives and friends. Now everyone is struggling to get by, so we have to take care of whether we can survive first.

Building a wall around the back mountain. In the past, the families in the village who didn't get piglets and lambs would not be very enthusiastic, but today is different. Today, not only did they get five taels of silver, but they also got a donkey!

For this donkey, the wall must be built!

This is the most important family property in the family. It can be used as a labor force for several people, and it eats grass. It must be treated well?

Then another question came to mind, and someone shouted: "By the way, how many female donkeys do we have?"

Before the voice fell, everyone began to check their donkeys!

There was joy and sorrow in an instant.

However, those who drew the male donkey thought that it was a good thing for them to have more female donkeys in the village. If their own female donkeys gave birth, wouldn't they have to buy donkeys from Shuiqing's family?

When the time comes, they will have priority to buy, and it will be the same, just a few more taels of silver.

Thinking of this, he was happy again.

·

Wu County Magistrate was arrested on the fifth day of the first lunar month, and the wall of the back mountain of Shanshui Village was built on the sixth day of the first lunar month.

This time is different from the last time the wall was built for the village, and the amount of work is obviously much larger.

And they know to plan for the future - after this incident, there will definitely be girls looking for marriage, and the land for them must be reserved in advance.

There are many waters in front of Shanshui Village, and it rains a lot in summer, so the land for building houses cannot be drawn forward, but can only be along the side and back of the village.

Shuiqing said that whether it is beside or behind, the land must be reserved in advance, one piece at a time, and it will be particularly beautiful when it is built in the future, eliminating disputes over occupying other people's land, and it will be more convenient to travel.

When they built houses in Shanshui Village two years ago, there was no planning. They built houses in the east and west, which looked very messy, but it didn't matter. When the houses in the back were old or there was more money to build brick and tile houses, they would re-plan them uniformly.

Just like Shuiqing's, neat and reasonable, comfortable living!

Now the wall of the back mountain will definitely be too late to be completed before the potato harvest, but it doesn't matter. Each family will be responsible for a section, and continue to build it after the potatoes are harvested.

The situation of the three families of Zhao, Sun and Fan is special. The old village chief did not divide the land among the three. Except for some opinions about Fan Qian's family, the rest of the villagers agreed.

After working for ten days in a row, the work of building the wall was slightly put aside, and the whole village was busy harvesting potatoes!

Even if some small potatoes can continue to grow, it doesn't matter. There is no way. The world outside is too chaotic. After all, it is not safe to leave the grain in the field. Only by harvesting it and storing it in your own warehouse can you feel at ease!

The potato yield is high. Last year, except for Zhang Tuzi, Fan Qian and Ding's three families who did not plant, the rest of the families planted it, and the least family also planted 30 acres.

Thirty acres, one acre is evenly distributed with 2,000 kilograms of yield. Even if half of it has to be divided 40% and 60% with Shuiqing, the remaining is still tens of thousands of kilograms!

You can't finish them, you can't finish them at all!

Shuiqing's family didn't grow potatoes, but a large amount of potatoes were delivered every day. Feng Da and his family stored them in the warehouse first, and then made them into potato flour and potato starch when they were free.

By the way, teach the people in the village.

But she didn't have time now, she had more important things to do.
