No matter if you are a human or an immortal, you can still farm for me after traveling through time!

In the village, farmers take a rest until the sun is not so hot at noon. Normally, they would set up a small tent in the field and take a rest. Now, because an "important person" came to the village, everyone took advantage of this rest time and rushed to the yard where Manager Zhang rented in the village. .

Even people in several nearby villages heard about it, and many people who wanted to buy garlic came together.

Before long, people were standing inside and outside the courtyard, blocking the courtyard door. There was no room left in the courtyard, and other people watching the fun had to climb up the courtyard wall. Therefore, the courtyard, which is usually wide enough to accommodate many mountain goods, was now crowded with people. , there were crowds of people, and there were noisy whispers no matter how low the volume was. Manager Zhang shouted "Quiet" several times but couldn't calm down. Xu Dan had to borrow some guards from his cousin.

As soon as the tall and burly male guard appeared, his sharp eyes were directed towards the place where the commotion was. The ruffians who were watching the commotion immediately shrank in fear and did not dare to act recklessly again.

In the early morning, Li Erlang had already taken the first step to pull over the 1,500 kilograms of garlic to be harvested. Miss Dan said that she would transport 1,000 kilograms away and the remaining 500 kilograms would be sold to the villagers for planting expansion.

The guys brought out the baskets of garlic, and saw that the garlic in the baskets had been cleaned and tied into thick braids. They were all fat, round and plump. As soon as people took a look, they knew that what Miss Dan said the day before yesterday was not a lie.

Someone secretly looked at Li Erlang who was standing aside. The garlic he grew was actually better than the ones sold by the barbarians in the county. In this way, there would be absolutely no problem in using it for seed production. If the harvest failed or decreased, it would definitely be the same as Tongdan. As the girl said, some people secretly replaced good seeds with bad ones, or suffered a natural disaster that destroyed the world, resulting in the loss of all crops. Otherwise, with hard work and careful care, how could there not be enough garlic.

In order to stop everyone from questioning, Xu Dan took out a piece of garlic and gave it to Manager Zhang.

Manager Zhang touched the swollen garlic. He just wanted this group of people to stop messing around and not knowing the goods. He took the garlic to the crowd and asked the villagers to reach out and touch and pinch it to see if the garlic was good quality. .

Li Erlang stood aside with his arms folded, watching the excitement. Originally, he had nothing to do here, but on the way to transport the garlic, many people followed the cart. When the garlic was unloaded, the yard was immediately surrounded inside and outside, and it was difficult to get out through the door. It's possible.

Unable to get out, he could only continue to wait in the yard.

After personally testing the quality of garlic, the villagers no longer had any room to question. The people who came with money and documents were already anxious, chasing after Manager Zhang to ask when they would start buying garlic seeds.

Xu Dan saw that it was almost time: "Please ask others to wait outside the courtyard gate. Only those who decide to buy garlic seeds will be left in the courtyard."

The guards stepped forward and the crowd retreated. The people buying seeds shouted "get out of the way" and struggled to squeeze into the courtyard. After a while of noise, there were far more people watching the excitement than there were people buying garlic seeds.

There are less than ten families left in the courtyard, and one of them belongs to Li Erlang's uncle Li Daqing.

The reason why there are more people watching the excitement than buying seeds is because they have to meet the requirements set by Xu Dan to be eligible to buy garlic seeds. One of the requirements has already turned off most people - having their own land. .

As a result, all tenant farmers had no chance, and for those who still had land, almost all the land under their name was sold until there was only enough land to grow corn and mulberry trees, leaving almost no land left to grow garlic. Before selling the land, they only wanted to pay the grain tax and silk tax. They had no energy to cultivate and plant the other excess fields. It would be wasteful to leave them like this. It would be more practical to sell them secretly for money.

There are still a small number of people who naturally have idle vacant land, but they are very afraid of the terrible penalty for breaking the contract. The remaining part must be compensated according to the then Chang'an garlic price. If they really can't grow enough garlic, where will they go? Looking for so much money to compensate the owner!

This condition is the biggest factor that deters many qualified people.

They had heard from the caravan from Chang'an that the price of mustard garlic in Chang'an was now as high as two hundred cents per pound.

If Ji Qingyue knew that the "garlic you are ruthless" game was played in ancient times, and the price was so outrageous, a pound of garlic cost more than 1,000 RMB, he would have jumped up in fright, and then joined the team to expand the cultivation!

One pound of garlic seeds can produce nearly fifty heads of garlic, weighing nearly ten kilograms. The more garlic seeds you buy now, the greater the quantity you will sell to Feng. If there really is a shortage, it would be fine to lose ten or dozens of kilograms. If there is a shortage of hundreds of kilograms, where will they find so much money to compensate!

When harvesting garlic, we use Shandan’s garlic price, and when we sell garlic, we use Chang’an garlic price. The price difference is so outrageous!

There is another reason why many people choose to give up growing garlic in the end: the influence of barbaric merchants.

Over the years, Hu businessmen's methods of retaliating against people who secretly sell garlic have left a big shadow in their hearts.

Villains are the most terrifying, and those Hu businessmen are insidious and cunning villains.

Xu Dan was not surprised to see that there were only so many people left in the yard. After waiting for Manager Zhang to count the number of people and check that the field deeds were in place, he continued to preside over: "There are now eight households buying garlic seeds. This determines the maximum number of people for each household." You can only buy seventy kilograms of garlic seeds. If you want to buy less than this number, you will explain it to Manager Zhang later when the contract is signed. If you want to buy more, you can only wait and see if there are people who want to buy less. Buy less. The quantity can be divided among those who buy more.”

Seventy kilograms, forty-five kilograms per kilogram, is 3,150 kilograms.

The money is neither too much nor too little, but it is enough to make people hesitate.

The next step is to spend a long time reading out the contents of the contract. The profit and compensation are clearly written on it. It will be absolutely impossible to take advantage of the loopholes and cheat.

Signing a contract requires not only household registration paper, but also land deeds. Just now, Manager Zhang and the village chief have checked and determined that these eight households are qualified to sign a contract to buy garlic.

Just as Manager Zhang announced the contents of each contract, behind the crowds of people on three levels inside and outside the courtyard, stood an anxious child.

Li Silang scratched his head anxiously. He was too small to climb the wall, nor could he squeeze into the circle of adults. Even shouting "give, let" didn't work. Even if he jumped up, he was not as high as the adults' shoulders. He tried his best but couldn't see him. Second brother.

What should I do?

Li Silang looked at the dense crowd and the high walls, and was anxious.

Got it! !

In the yard, every time Steward Zhang finished reading out a contract, the onlookers followed him with long shouts of agreement, as if they were marveling at the details of the contract and surprised that such a small thing had to be written on the contract paper.

Listening to the contracts, the families who wanted to buy garlic were so nervous that they were sweating profusely.

Li Erlang watched the whole scene quietly. Suddenly, he saw a small figure shaking constantly on the wall. He was held by an acquaintance of the villagers. He sat on the wall and kept waving his hands towards him, as if there was something urgent.

He immediately walked over, stretched out his hands to climb up the wall, turned over twice and climbed onto the courtyard wall. Then, after thanking his friends in the same village, he jumped out of the courtyard with his younger brother in his arms.

Xu Dan watched Li Erlang's movements. He climbed up the nearly ten-foot-high mud wall. He turned over twice and climbed up. Ordinary people can only climb up the mud wall by asking for help from others.

Li Erlang's figure quickly turned out from the fence and disappeared. She gently withdrew her gaze and continued to focus on the matters in the yard.

Li Erlang held his younger brother who kept kicking and shouting in his hands. He slapped Shiro's butt: "Why did you leave Tuanlang alone at home!"

Li Silang protected his tender buttocks that had been spanked before and shouted: "Second brother! Put me down!"

As soon as his feet landed on the ground, the child climbed up neatly along the legs of his second brother. This action was like a child who didn't want to walk and was looking for an adult to hold him.

Li Erlang smiled helplessly and weighed his younger brother, who had become extremely heavy. He thought to himself that even Tuan Lang was not so fat and round, how could any farmer raise such a New Year painting boy?

"What's wrong……"

Li Silang leaned into his ear and whispered a few words. Li Erlang suddenly seemed like a different person. His steps became faster and faster, and he ran towards home in a hurry, scaring the child in his arms tightly. Holding his neck.

"Did something happen to Yue Lang?" Li Erlang asked as he ran. Yue Lang had clearly promised to wait until San Lang took the county exam before going home. How could he go home early at this time? Judging from the sun, I came back earlier than normal. I must have come back just as the city gate was opening, driving a fast car.

Li Silang patted his second brother and comforted him: "Brother Ji, nothing happened. It's just that he seemed to be anxious about Miss Dong's carriage. As soon as he came back, he asked me about Miss Dong's carriage. He also said that he was not as good as a hairpin..."

Li Erlang's thoughts were spinning a thousand times, and he naturally couldn't understand why Ji Qingyue was suddenly anxious about a girl, but he knew Ji Qingyue and knew that things inside were definitely not simple.

He ran quickly and ran back to the yard in less than a quarter of an hour.

Li Yu was carrying a bamboo tube on his back and was accompanying Tuan Lang in the yard.

"Yue Lang! What happened!!" Li Erlang quickly took the bamboo tube, regardless of the fact that he had a younger brother in his arms.

Hanging paintings is fine.

His heart was half relieved.

Ji Qingyue had been waiting on the bridge for a long time and immediately asked Li Erlang to take him to the study. He had something to say.

So the three children were locked out and could only play outside.

Li Erlang and Ji Qingyue stayed in the study for a long time, and he answered whatever Ji Qingyue asked.

"Is the hostess the only one in the carriage?"

When he got the answer that there was another person, Ji Qingyue finally breathed a sigh of relief, so he talked to Li Erlang about his dream last night.

At that time, Li Yu's time was too general. He only said that in the autumn of the fourth year of Baoying, a minister's daughter was killed in Lancang Mountain. Also, before, I had been thinking about how to get to the capital to stop the assassination, but I couldn't. I forgot that there was a conspiracy here, and subconsciously ignored the importance of this young lady. "

But it's not too late now, luckily the lady is still in the village.

But how to stop them from taking that mountain road?

Ji Qingyue didn't know anything about Lancangshan, so he could only listen to Li Erlang's opinion. He kept silent and closed his mouth, while Li Erlang fell into deep thought and tapped the handle of the chair little by little with his fingers.

Not to mention helping the young lady resolve the crisis, it is now very difficult to convince her.

If that young lady could take the official road, would she choose to take this long-abandoned mountain road?

The success rate of persuading her to return to the official road using the excuse of bandits is very slim. Maybe there is something more terrifying than the bandits on the official road.

The valley ruins below the cliff of Luoshan Mountain have existed for thousands of years. Not long after walking past the cliff, there is an entrance to the mountain road.

Most rivers in the northwest do not enter the sea and disappear naturally as they flow.

The ancient river is no exception. A small carriage starts from the village and takes two hours to reach the deserted river bed. After walking along the river bed for a quarter of an hour, you can reach the end of the ancient river, where there is a dry lake.

People once tried to cultivate farmland in the dry riverbed, but no matter how they tried, the white soil of the riverbed could not allow plants to grow smoothly.

Over time, no one there wanted to cultivate the valley.

The edge of the lake is the starting point of the mountain road.

At that time, people living by the lake decided to build a road in the mountains in order to reach the state capital without taking a detour, and built a path in the mountains that could pull a cart!

The water in the rivers became less and less, the lakes gradually dried up, and the people there slowly moved away. Until the government built a dirt road connecting the villages to Shandan, the mountain road was completely abandoned. Now the mountain road has returned to nature again.

The mountain road that is slowly being encroached by the forest is very difficult to walk. In addition, the beasts in the mountain are infested, and there are bandits hiding in unknown places. Ordinary people have given up on this mountain road.

The lady's carriage was small and exquisitely built, and it was the most ingenious for dealing with this kind of mountain road.

Li Erlang thought for a while and found that the facts were exactly what Yue Lang said. He must save this young lady, otherwise the elder in her family would go crazy and everyone would have a difficult time.

"Erlang, what are you going to do?" Ji Qingyue suddenly stopped when he heard the sound of Li Erlang tapping the armrest of the chair, and quickly asked: "How can I help?"

"It's not determined yet. Now I have to go see the young lady." Li Erlang didn't want to get involved in these matters, but if he stood by and watched, the impact would spread to them, and the worst sufferers would be civilians like them.

When gods fight, little devils suffer.

He put the unrolled scroll into the bamboo tube and carried it on his chest, sighing heavily in his heart.

Yue Lang finally came back, but he didn't have any free time for them to have a good chat. Instead, he kept running.

Li Erlang told the children to stay at home and went out to the village again.

By the time Li Erlang arrived at the village, the crowd had dispersed, the courtyard gate was closed, and it became another deserted look.

The morning-long activity of selling garlic seeds under a contract has ended.

He stepped forward and knocked on the courtyard door.

A male guard opened the door. They all recognized Li Erlang: "Xianglang came here to find Miss Dan?"

Li Erlang shook his head: "No, I came here this time to say a word to you, Miss Lu, and then leave."

The hostess’s surname is Xu, Xu Dan.

As for his young lady, not only her maiden name, but also her surname has never been mentioned to outsiders!

The guard's eyes suddenly sharpened when he looked at Li Erlang. He gestured secretly towards the courtyard. The guards who saw the gesture became alert.
