Unlimited Food Plan

The spring plowing has started, and everyone is busy. Du Changqiu can predict that by August, the entire Huarong will usher in a bumper harvest.

At that time, everyone's carbohydrates will exceed the standard, and they will not be able to eat all of them, so Du Changqiu thinks it is time to start aquaculture.

After all, if there is no livestock in the accessories of sweet potato leaves, corn stalks and other crops, it will cause great waste, and animal husbandry can perfectly consume this part.

The most important thing is that people need animal protein to live,? They need to eat meat, and it is not good for the body not to be contaminated with meat for a long time.

So within a few days, a notice was posted outside the county government gate.

"Grain for piglets, chickens and ducklings,? Piglets for miscellaneous grains, half a stone of coarse grains for a half-month-old piglet, and one-month-old piglets for a stone of miscellaneous grains. "Most of the common people are illiterate, and can't understand the notice,? But the government servants are arranged to tell everyone over and over at the door, what exactly is this post.

When everyone heard the price, everyone didn't believe it at first.Because miscellaneous grains cost one stone and one hundred Wen, which means that a one-month-old piglet can be sold for one hundred Wen. Who would believe this?

Even in the spring, everyone’s family really didn’t have much food, and it was the time when the food was scarce, and the big guys didn’t move, one by one muttering at the door.

The price of piglets is obviously high, but it is not easy to raise pigs, the nutrition is insufficient, and the sows cannot give birth to too many, or give birth to too many? They can only be slaughtered and eaten as suckling pigs.

There is no way, it is really impossible to feed, and the food is really not enough.

Over the years, when people in Huarong County were hungry, they even boiled straw and chewed the shells of beans to satisfy their hunger. Wild vegetables and grass were even used for Chinese meals. Who has surplus food for pigs?

The growing piglets can't wait to be fed four or five meals a day, and every meal has to be cooked half dry and half thin, which is so thick that people can't eat it. If they are next to hungry pigs, they won't be able to feed the meat, which is useless in the end.The number that can be raised throughout the year is fixed, and it is also because of this reason.

The county government has also confiscated pigs in previous years, not to mention the price, everyone didn't believe it.But there are always people who are bold, such as Zhang Tuhu.

Butcher Zhang also has no choice. Their family has four or five sows. The sows are pregnant for four months, and the piglets are raised for a few months. Generally speaking, they can give birth to two babies a year.But although his family can raise more, there are always too many piglets. For example, this year, there are dozens of piglets, and they have no way to feed them.

Therefore, although he was very skeptical in his heart, Zhang Tuhu still planned to give it a try.Of course, he was still very vigilant, and tentatively, he only came to the house with a piglet in his arms to exchange for food.

He went in with the little piglet in his arms, and came out empty-handed. The people waiting outside were startled, and they all asked, "Is there no food?"

Butcher Zhang didn't agree, and went home quickly. Everyone thought that this matter was trivial, but some people thought that Mr. Xie and Mr. Wang were different, and it was a misunderstanding that it was not the same.

When the two parties were discussing in low voices, they saw Zhang Butcher's family carrying an empty load. First, there were a dozen piglets in Zhang Butcher's load, and they picked them all in.

"What is this butcher doing? No more pigs?" Everyone was confused.

After a while, Zhang Tuhu's family came out with loads of grain, all of which were large and plump new grains. The chestnut rice, or chestnut, was smooth and plump; the corn, or millet, looked golden all over the load. Yes, looking at it makes people greedy; Shu, that is, all kinds of beans, they are also different colors, red beans, soybeans, black beans, all are very fresh, you can tell by looking at them, there are no bad beans to deceive people.

These are all good grains, much better than the so-called new grains sold by Jin's Grain Shop and Zhao's Grain Shop!

"Dog/day, butcher Zhang is afraid that we have too many people to exchange, and the yamen will not accept it!" An old man on the spot shook the bag of cigarette pots, left a sentence, and immediately turned and ran home.

When the old man said this, everyone reacted, and immediately scattered like birds and beasts, and all rushed home—who knows how much the county government charges?Let's go first, let's talk about the food after we get it!

After all, there are not many people who raise pigs, and raising pigs is expensive, but every household has chickens and ducks!

Chickens and ducklings, two one-liter grains, take all the chickens and ducks at home, replace them with grains first, and then hug a litter by yourself, it doesn't take too much trouble, these are all fresh and good grains!

People in the county were busy exchanging chickens for ducks for pigs, and the brick-picking women walked halfway to rest, eating the multigrain pancakes and steamed buns they brought at home, and discussing the new notice posted in the early morning.

"The county magistrate posted a notice, saying that he is looking for some strong women to raise pigs and chickens. Do you want to try it?" The round-faced woman was the first to talk about it.

"My man doesn't allow me to go, I said they are all women, what are you afraid of." An older aunt also knew about this, and she told her man about it in the morning, and now she couldn't help but say, " He insisted that by then, he would have to deal with those men in the county government."

"That's not true, these are Master Xie's own property!" Qiao Niang heard the shame, and quickly spoke.

They have been picking bricks and stones together recently. Although the work is hard, none of the women from small households are coquettish. There is still more to do, and it is even more complicated.

These stones and bricks cost two pennies, and now there is money to go down the mountain to pick up salt, and many people regard it as a serious business.

Although the inspection is strict, if you catch someone stealing salt, you will be driven away mercilessly, and you will never be allowed to take this job again, but if you are more disciplined and don’t think about crooked ways, you can get two coins for one stone of salt. Yes, back and forth in one day is four essays.

If you pick it every day, you can earn almost as much as Master Biqian.It's just that not much salt comes out, and it takes three days to pick one out, which is not as good as masonry.

Ever since it was replaced with red bricks, the speed of the kiln production has been as fast as that of the Empress Nuwa, with thousands of pieces of bricks being produced from one kiln to another. Brick and tile houses have been built in the place where the salt is boiled. They also recruited people to dig trenches and build walls, and it seems that they can do it for several years.

Everyone is secretly saying that if this town can be built well, it will be even more magnificent than the current county government.

Now everyone knows that this job can be done for at least several years, and everyone cherishes this job very much.The ten women in their team are all guarantors for each other. Because she is Mrs. Qian's daughter-in-law, she is the guarantor of this group.

Because there was someone who was not clear-headed before, and was persuaded to move it. When picking salt, I withdrew it privately, and at first I felt that I couldn't catch it.

It was true that they didn’t catch them at first, but people’s appetites were getting bigger and bigger. Each of their group picked half of them every day to grab a handful of salt and go back. Later, some people couldn’t help stealing more and more, so they were let down at the foot of the mountain. Li Zandian, who was inspecting, found something tricky, and soon found out in the first trial, and all the people in that group were not allowed to pick bricks and mortar.

After being driven away, without this lucrative job, they were all scared. The whole group was crying and would rather pay back several times than lose this job, but how could there be a second chance?

The money was deducted and the loss was deducted. In the end, I didn’t take advantage of it. I didn’t have any work. A group of men went back and were scolded by their parents every day. Gave it to a good friend.

Anyway, it's still a mess now.

Therefore, since then, the people who took the initiative to form a group were all sisters and relatives who were very acquainted, and no one dared to form a pair with others without authorization, for fear that something would happen to one person, and the whole group would not be supervised effectively, and they would be driven away directly.

It's the same with Qiaoniang, now they are handing handkerchiefs to each other, and they are sisters, for example, the woman who spoke is Qiaoniang's own aunt and his mother's younger sister, Liu Simei.

Therefore, Qiaoniang did not hide her words, but said: "Auntie, don't listen to what my uncle said. These are all the private property of the magistrate. I heard Youwei tell me that the adults said that we should learn together first." , he taught it himself."

"What?" Qiao Niang said, everyone was immediately interested, and a young girl's eyes lit up, and she asked repeatedly, "The magistrate taught himself?!"

Thinking of the county magistrate's appearance, even Qiao Niang's mother showed a rare shyness.

This is the charm of a handsome man.

Of course, this is just a second of shyness. Guangyuan County is poor, and being shy for a second for Mr. Xie's demeanor is the greatest respect these women have for Mr. Xie's beauty.

What everyone cares more about is wages.

Hearing that raising pigs costs one penny a month, or one hundred pennies, everyone was a little moved, but most people felt that they had to see the county magistrate every day because of the male and female defenses. woman go.

But in the end, men and women can't stop their desire to make money, Du Changqiu is very sure.In addition, he arranged for Qiao Niang and other family members of the county government to go out to let the air out, and it didn't take long for people to start signing up for these jobs one after another.

It's just that there are not many, and except for Qiao Niang, Guan Bingshu's younger sister and other family members of Du Changqiu's loyal subordinates, the others are all girls from families who can't make it through.

However, there are not many piglets, chickens and ducks collected now, and there are barely enough for so many people.

The site chosen by Du Changqiu is on the back hill of the cement factory. The three factory buildings are all newly built, and they are all bright brick houses. When the girls went to work, the cement was not dry in some places.

Several breeding areas are separated, and the free-range area is surrounded by hemp rope to form a grid. The pigs will not be allowed to go out for a walk, but the chickens and ducks can take a walk for a while. The area is quite large.

However, the three rooms are in the shape of characters, and the middle area of ​​the three rooms is the common resting place for the girls during the day. Of course, when the women leave at night, the beds will be set up. When the women go home, the men from the cement factory will come in a team to watch the night .

Du Changqiu originally planned to have a dormitory for girls in this place, and he wanted to say that girls who live in remote areas can choose to live in a dormitory.

This idea is very good, but after he found that there were not enough 30 people, he decisively gave up the plan.The main reason was that the number of girls was too small, and he really didn't dare to let them live outside the city. If something happened, the consequences would be disastrous.

Anyway, it's very close to the county seat. If you go out early in the morning, you can get there by walking two sticks of incense, and you won't delay anything when you go home at night.

During the day, I am not afraid of anything. Although the place where the North Gate originally came out was a barren hill, but recently there have been more people's activities, and with the breeding, it has become lively in an instant.

The monthly wages of the female workers are about the same as those who work hard, one penny a month, but they cook their own meals at noon.

These things were arranged very well. Du Changqiu didn't delay at all. On the first day of work, he started to teach the female workers how to mix feed, how to cut pigweed, how to mix feed, how to cook, and the coarse grains that the man ate even had husks. Just chop the meat, chop it, stir it, and make it into feed without blinking an eye, which almost made everyone feel distressed.

But everyone dared not speak, because everyone found that the county magistrate, who usually looks gentle and fairy-like, is very serious at this time, and... strangely skilled.

Du Changqiu didn't need to be self-effacing. He now has almost ten years of experience in raising pigs, chickens and ducks. He calmed down the women as soon as he made a move, and quickly brought them on track.

Of course, in order to avoid suspicion, he brings different people with him every time. Zhao Baoer, Master Zhou and even Guan Bingshu have all been here, so as not to cause misunderstanding, Du Changqiu also invited an old couple to watch the gate here. He asked Guan Bingshu to send people to escort these women into the city every day, so that nothing would happen to the soldiers of the cement factory if they confronted the women directly.

As far as the previous two worlds were still a bit unfamiliar to explore, this time in the third week, Du Changqiu really didn't encounter any particularly difficult things. The farm and planting were arranged in an orderly manner, and soon reached the first At the time of harvest.

When the output of the first batch of early rice doubled, everyone just admired the county magistrate Xiao Xie very much. They did not expect that fixed-point fertilization and separate fertilization of dry and wet fertilization would be so powerful.

But that was just emotion. When the first acre of sweet potatoes and corns were harvested, all the people in Huarong County who received the new crops were overwhelmed.

"God beast!"

"Beast God!"

"Master Fanxing!"

Fan Xing went out for a walk early in the morning, and deftly took the money bag Du Changqiu gave him, and went to Pan Laoxin's Shiwei shop to buy small meat pies for breakfast for the two of them.

As a result, on the way back, someone suddenly knelt down and kowtowed frantically!

Not only that, but Fan Xing walked back all the way after the man who ran back from the field and said the rare thing crazily preached how high the yield of the god's grain was.

In the end, Fanxing basically escaped home.

Du Changqiu laughed a lot that day, but he still went out with Fan Xing when he turned around. After walking around a few times, everyone calmed down, but they were all full of joy.

This bumper harvest made everyone admire the young Mr. Xie, and no one questioned Mr. Xie's decision anymore.

The salt trade also returned smoothly. After harvesting the grain, the granary was not enough, and the county government was full.Almost all of Guan Bingshu's soldiers came back from operating saltworks and cement factories, and started half-time training and production.

At the same time, Yeluqing inherited the position of the Great Han, pointed his sword at the royal court of the Central Plains, and the war broke out.

"Fan Xing, pay attention, if you meet anyone who comes to steal Xie Yong'an, you will kill them all, don't be soft!" Du Changqiu arrived at this time, eating is not good, and his guard is full, waiting for Chang Fei two times. A month later, Dadong came to steal Xie Yongan.

"Okay!" Fan Xing raised her hoof and high-fived Du Changqiu with a serious face.

Neither of them expected that it wasn't Chang Fei who came first, it was almost at the same time Yeluqing took down the thirteen cities that the Mo family army who guarded the border came.

Looking for Xie Yongan, the goal is to collect food.

That's right, it's not buying, it's asking for it directly.

And as soon as he opened his mouth, he wanted to take away 50 shi of grain. The reason was that he had been withholding the grain this year and hadn't handed it over to the court. Prefect He wanted to come with a warrant from Prince Yu. This batch of grain and grass was given to the Mo family army, so he came to directly deliver it. Forage.
