There was too much land, and there were plenty of wastelands outside, but he couldn't manage it alone.

It is very tiring for a cow to plow 5 acres of land a day.

It takes 4 days to cover 20 acres.

There is also sowing, weeding, fertilizing, watering...

The complicated farm work made him urgently in need of labor force.

Of course he didn't know that in a few generations, his descendants would fall into a population trap, lose land to cultivate, lose the opportunity to reproduce, and even have the opportunity to eat, so they rebelled.

He only knew that the excess food in his family would definitely have to be sold at this time.

Because it's hot here.

Damp and full of insects.

If the food is not sold, it will rot in half a year at most.

It does not have a good storage environment like a large granary, nor does it have manual cleaning and drying every day.

He must sell the grain to the grain station in the town.

Only the food rations that the family can eat for more than half a year are left. Anyway, there will be new food here in four months.

Of course, he tried his best to grow things that could be stored for a long time.

For example, rice, sorghum, etc. have the longest shelf life and can be stored for 5-10 years.

The premise is that it is dry enough. Once it gets wet and insects breed, it’s over.

He was frightened by hunger.

The granary built by his family is already full. As long as there is no war or chaos, it will be enough to feed his family for three years.

So, today he started taking the old grain and the chickens, ducks and geese he raised to the town to sell them for money.

If you don't sell it for money, you can't pay taxes.

You can use treasure banknotes to collect taxes, or you can use Yinyang Jia Datou.

He didn't believe in that kind of banknotes, but he still believed in Jia Datou.

This kind of Jia Da has a chubby guy with an unclear face carved on his head.

This guy is naturally Jia Rong.

This is truly a rebellion.

This was issued by Rong's Bank.

Jia Datou can be directly exchanged for silver. One piece is one tael, which is very valuable. There is also a dime, which is equivalent to one penny of silver.

He took his wife and drove the ox cart and set off early in the morning. He left his three children in the care of a neighbor.

Everyone is like this. He will take care of his neighbors next time.

There were two ox carts, one beam loaded with 2,000 kilograms of grain, the other cart loaded with 20 chickens and ten ducks.

Two bullock carts walked slowly towards the town market.

Set off early in the morning and arrive at noon.

Thanks to the company, the security is very good, there are no bandits or soldiers.

Grain is still sold to grain stations as usual, and the price has remained stable.

The other party also sells grain, and the price is only a little more expensive than the selling price.

It is equivalent to charging a storage fee, which everyone understands.

So he doesn't worry about not being able to buy food if he encounters problems after selling it.

It is still troublesome to save food, but it is easier to save large amounts.

It won't rot or get bugs, and it will be easy to move.

When the grain is stored, I have to dry it every half a month.

It cannot be shorter than one month at least.

No matter how long it takes, the inside of the grain will be exposed to moisture, causing it to rot and sprout.

This kind of drying was too tiring, so he planned to save only half a year of food.

As long as you have enough to eat until new grain comes out, if not, just come to the grain station to buy it.

The grain station will store new grain for three years, and the old grain will be sold on land.

He quickly exchanged all the grain for money, and there was a lot of quarrels in the process. The other party said that he was not doing well in the sun and that there were insects.

He was very angry because he was a hard-working man and cherished food the most, which was very good and well done.

In fact, I just want him to give me money.

But he refused to give it and said he would sue the mayor.

The other party then reluctantly accepted the second-level product.

But I threatened him not to charge so much next time and asked him to come early.

He is very depressed.

Everywhere the bankers suffer.

Fortunately, the chickens, ducks and geese sold very well, and the restaurant took them away directly and sold them at a high price.

They like his chickens and ducks very much. They taste good and are raised in the fields.

This made him think that it would be much simpler to plant less land and raise more chickens and ducks.

After all, selling food is really hard.

I heard that big customers are not afraid and come to collect them regularly every year.

I am not afraid of obstruction from these petty officials at all.

Then he took his honest wife to buy cloth.

I need to make some new clothes at home.

Fortunately, the company is good and they won't be charged taxes for the first five years.

In the process of buying cloth, he did not know that he had paid taxes.

This is the industrial scissor difference.

He only knew that the prices for selling cloth were quite reasonable and more cost-effective than his wife's weaving.

The time his wife spent weaving was used to raise ten more chickens and ducks to make more money.

We only have to worry about disease. The neighbor next door killed his chickens and ducks and then sold them to the unscrupulous businessman who came to buy them.

Of course, you have to buy some medicines for treating headaches and fever.

Children have fevers two or three times a year. If they don't buy it, they will die young.

"Ergen, are you living a good life now? Why don't you buy another concubine?" On the way home, the villagers picked up every pot they didn't like.

Looking for another concubine?

Wang Ergen looked at his honest mother-in-law. She had given birth to two children and was out of shape. She was active every day and was very dark.

Immediately, he had dirty thoughts.

It’s time to find another beautiful concubine.

Have a few more children.

Now of the two children, the eldest is three years old and can already collect firewood.

You can collect firewood at the door.

Very obedient.

Much better than raising a puppy.

By the way, there is also the matter of firewood.

I need to buy some more coal.

It is now forbidden to cut firewood casually.

The firewood at home is made from crop straw grown on the ground.

Wood cannot be burned.

They are not allowed to cut down trees because they say it will damage the feng shui.

He also believed it.

The feng shui here must be good, otherwise, how could I make a fortune?

He heard that some people also went to other places to cultivate wasteland, and many people died of illness the next year.
