Chapter 850: The Autumn Harvest of the Liao People
The purchase price of ginger is not low, fifteen copper plates per kilogram. The ginger in the mountains is more than 5,000 kilograms, which is much more cost-effective than growing grain. Jiang Hexi's family sold nearly eighty of them with ginger.
Two silver.
Uncle Jiang, who had grown the most ginger, became rich, and Aunt San took her mother's brothers and sisters to dig ginger into the mountains. It took her six or seven days before she finished digging the ginger.
Because she served the food at home well at home, the yield of ginger was actually greater than that of Jiang Hexi.
I actually made almost hundreds of taels of silver.
Grandpa Jiang Er’s family knew about it and regretted it. After they split up, they did not grow so much ginger in the old house, so they only earned about ten taels of silver.
But his family has so much more land than Uncle Jiang San. If they are planted, how much money will they make?
Grandpa Jiang Er's family decided that next year, they would definitely have to plant multiple ginger.
As for the families in the village who planted some ginger, they made more or less money and made up their minds to plant ginger next year.
Days passed by day and July soon came.
In the field, the wheat ears can be harvested, and the rice flowers have also been harvested. Although they are not solid, they can still make some rice paste.
Jiang Hexi took his family and first harvested all the wheat home, and then planned to harvest rice.
Grandpa Jiang Er looked heartbroken and said, "Fang'er, it will take another month to harvest rice. What can I harvest now?"
Jiang Hexi knew the plot well and could only say to Grandpa Jiang Er, "Second Grandpa, the Liao people kill, burn and loot on the border every year, and this year they occupy Yucheng again. The autumn harvest is approaching. The Liao people will definitely come to the village to loot, so they are not cheaper than these
It is better for the tribe members to harvest earlier than we can. At least we can lose as much as we can, so don’t get any grains at that time.”
When the second grandfather asked, everyone in the village happened to be there. After hearing Jiang Hexi's words, many people showed thoughtful expressions.
Although I felt sorry for the food, many people still went to the land and started to harvest in advance.
The villagers also harvested the cabbage from the field in advance and started making sauerkraut.
Everyone dug up the authentic tunnels and moved the sauerkraut one jar to the ground, hiding some in every corner, which would be better than being snatched away by the Liao people.
After half a month, most of the villagers had harvested the food.
The next few days, it suddenly started to rain. The hardworking villagers looked at the fields and could only wear straw raincoats and go out to pick some livestock food to go home.
Jiang Hexi's family had already killed all the animals and made them into cured meat to hide them. However, they didn't have this trouble. They just wore a straw raincoat when they went out to dig vegetables.
The days passed by and August entered.
On this day, the villagers were sitting at the door of the house, and the sound of the iron cavalry suddenly came from the distance.
The villagers screamed in shock and hurriedly hid in their own cellar.
"Escape quickly, the Liao people are here!"
For the Liao people, after the autumn harvest, the two-legged beasts in the Central Plains were fattened again and could be slaughtered again.
Food, money, women, children, mining tycoons... can rob them again.caset
In the distance, the Liao soldiers entered the village like a gust of wind.
"Go ahead, beautiful woman, I'm here, a lot of food and meat, your grandfather is here again."
The Liao people waved their swords and rushed in when they entered the village, and ruined the woman when they saw it.
Even the children were not spared.
The old man is a useless creature or occupies food. The Liao people waved it with a knife and sprinkled blood. These people laughed "cuckoo" and seemed to have had some great fun.
It turned out that after the Liao people occupied Yuzhou, they asked soldiers to kill, burn and loot, and ruined all the 300,000 civilians in Yuzhou City. Women and children were forced to be strong, and men were strong, either killed or became slaves and captured.
Quarry in a quarry, or go dig iron ore for the Liao people to build weapons so that they can continue to attack the Song people.
In order to raise soldiers, the Liao general Haerta issued an order to prohibit soldiers from going out torture and killing peasants. They arrested women in the city and used them as military prostitutes to vent their anger.
Because there is a lot of wealth in Yuzhou City, Liao soldiers have been raised to be strong and strong in the past six months.
Now it is autumn, and it is time for them to harvest.
The Liao people seemed to have a gust of wind and rushed over immediately.
It was morning at that time, some people were still working in the wilderness, some people ran into the bushes beside them, some hid in nearby caves, some were slow to react, but unfortunately they were on the way to escape and were beaten by the Liao people
The soldier caught it.
The people who were caught were dragged directly into the grass beside to vent, while the men were killed directly.
For the elderly, it goes without saying that, directly waved the knife in his hand, and the Liao people stabbed the old man.
When the old man fell to the ground, the Liao people were already riding their iron cavalry and rushed towards the next place.
…
This is a new hunting game for the Liao people.
In Jiangjia Village, it’s a pity that the villagers harvested the food in advance. Because the weather is hot, most of the villagers are enjoying the cool air in the village.
When the Liao people came, everyone scattered, slipped into the house, and rushed into the tunnel.
When Jiang Hexi ran into the tunnel, his heart was beating wildly.
She counted the number of people in the tunnel and then breathed a sigh of relief.
Everyone in the family entered the tunnel, and soon everyone survived.
In the village, some people are not so lucky.
When the Liao people came, Fu Lanniang's mother, Aunt Fu's mother, happened to go to the field to weed when the Liao people came, but was caught by the Liao people. She couldn't escape and was stabbed directly with a knife.
The abdomen is dead.
In the village, not everyone is willing to harvest the crops in the field early.
Fu Lanniang couldn't bear it at home.
While her family was harvesting rice fields at her family, the Liao people happened to be right.
Fu Lanniang's sisters cooked at home, but hid directly into the tunnel. The male part of the Fu family, Uncle Fu saw that his wife was killed and rushed over. The Liao people behind him came to make up for a knife again and directly took Fu.
The uncle also killed him.
Among the Fu brothers, Fu Jinsheng and the eldest brother Fu Daniu happened to pick up the grain and go home. They happened to be separated from the Liao people and saved their lives directly.
The remaining Fu Sanniu was not so lucky. After being beaten to death by the Liao people, he tied it up with a rope and threw it into a slave cart and imprisoned.
As autumn begins, the Liao people are mining stones on Qianren Mountain behind Yucheng to build city walls for city defense and weapons, and everything requires manpower.
Two-legged beasts like the Song people are the best human beings for them.
The number is huge, young and powerful, and not very skilled craftsman, and it is very useful in tool construction reform or urban construction.
After the Liao people entered the village, they went from house to house and began to search for them. All valuable items were stolen.
Food and livestock were stolen by the Liao people.
The Liao people ate meat and drank wine in big mouthfuls, and they had been thinking about the fine grains on the fertile land of the Central Plains for a long time.
The grassland does not produce food, so they live by raising cattle and sheep. When they want food, they can only go to the Central Plains to rob.
Except for the Fu family, other families in the village are lucky, so lucky to hide in the hidden tunnel.
The Liao people searched for houses in the village, and finally lit a fire and ignited the houses owned by the villagers again.
Even if people escape, they will not leave any vitality to all human beings.
Winter is about to begin. When winter begins, for people who don’t have houses, they can only wait to freeze to death.
The Liao people came and went like a gust of wind. After the Liao people left, the villagers did not dare to go out of the cave after a long time.
It was evening before the sound of crying came from the village.
The sound was particularly desolate.
When Jiang Hexi went to Fu's house to check, Fu Lanniang was already kneeling in front of the mourning hall and cried bitterly.
Jiang Hexi whispered a few words of comfort, and then advised Fu Lanniang to have dinner. Fu Lanniang pursed her lips and just shook her head.
The whole family was still happy in the morning, but at night, it was already separated by yin and yang.
But a village like them is still in good condition.
For those villages that did not dig tunnels, I am afraid that the whole village will be harmed by the Liao people.
When he came out of the Fu family, at the end of the village, the crying voice of Widow Zhang's daughter-in-law Rou Niang.
"Woo, this day is really impossible."
The second aunt beside her said, "Rou Niang's eldest daughter has been taken away."
Jiang Hexi paused, sighed, and went home silently.
The world is in chaos, and the world is so big that it feels like there is nowhere to go.
In fact, it is not reliable to escape to the Central Plains at this time.
First, the government was plundering very hard. After defeats again and again, the government ceded land and compensated the Liao people again and again. Where did the huge amount of funds to be compensated for? The treasury could not support it at all, so the emperor could only plunder it from the people.
Nowadays, farmers will pay 70% of the rent if they rent a piece of land outside.
If the harvest was not good in the past year, you would owe money from the big households.
As the profits were rising, the children of the farmers sold one by one. In the end, the whole family sold them as slaves and never made a comeback in their entire lives.
If it was the land you bought by yourself? It might be even more miserable.
The county magistrate or border generals, and they all have several relatives and friends.
With the collusion between officials and the people, many families were coaxed to go to the gambling house to gamble and ruined their family business. In addition, there were many families who were profitable and usury.
This is a world where people can eat people.
And such days did not end before Jiang Hexi was reborn in his previous life.
After collecting the supplies, the Liao people rushed towards the Jibei Plain.
Through the Jibei Plain, the nearest city is Qingzhou.
If you pass through Qingzhou, follow the Zhusheng River and the Goddess Mountains, you will arrive in Fuzhou.
Fuzhou is the garrison of King An, with Zhusheng River and the Goddess Mountains as natural barriers, which can resist the foreign tribes' long journey into the capital.
Over the years, Fuzhou has become a natural barrier in front of the front.
