Yun Xi nodded. The sun was not bad at the moment, and he could still blow it before it was done. The post house had been booked by them, so he didn't worry about what others would say.
The two went to the market and rented a carriage with a large carriage. They promised that it would only take half a day and deposited twenty taels of silver. Then they drove the carriage around and drove it around. When they returned to the post house, it was already packed.
Full of cotton pads and quilts.
Xu Dashu and the others had been waiting aside for a long time. When they saw Yun Xi jump out of the carriage, they hurriedly lifted the carriage to get things. Two hundred sets seemed like a lot, but with a few people working together, they were all spread out quickly.
"Ouch! Come on, this quilt stinks and the foot smell is too strong!" Liu Silang spread out a cotton pad, and Xun's eyes almost burst into tears. "The person who sleeps on this quilt must have sweaty feet. He has never had sweaty feet."
The kind that won’t be exposed to the sun!”
"The quilt this time doesn't smell as good as the one I got last time, but it's been exposed to the sun, so it doesn't have any impact!" Liu Feng kept moving his hands, and then he remembered something and said: "Grandpa Third and the others have rested, call you and
My brothers and sisters are going in together!"
"Then I'm going to trouble you a lot. The wages will be doubled this time!" Yun Xi stuck out her tongue. She didn't want to touch these quilts at all. As expected, it was better for girls to be fragrant!
"Don't worry, sister-in-law, we are here!" Xu Dashu stepped forward and took the quilt from Yun Xi's hand, and said with a smile: "We are used to the smell, so leave it to us!"
Liu Xingzhi nodded, took Yunxi to the well to wash his hands, and then walked to Mr. Liu's room. At this moment, most of the people were there, some were not there, and there were also people at home.
Seeing the two of them coming in, Liu Sanye smiled and said: "I heard from those boys that you are buying quilts for your friends. Just pay them at the normal price. Don't pay for it yourself!"
"Don't worry, Third Grandpa, I have a sense of discretion in this matter!" Liu Xingzhi saw that everyone was looking at them, so he didn't say much and changed the subject: "I'm calling everyone here this time, mainly for a discussion. After we get to the place,
what to do?"
Everyone looked at each other, wondering if they hadn't reached the right place yet, and whether it was too early to discuss it now.
"Third Grandpa, uncles, do you think it's a little early?" Seeing everyone like this, Yun Xi smiled and said, "I said it was too early before, but after asking someone, I found out that the capital is not far from here.
Prices are almost twice as high as here. If we hadn’t planned earlier, our money would have been reduced by half!"
When they rented a carriage just now, the Naya people told them about this. They heard that they were fleeing from famine, and also introduced the settlement situation of the people fleeing famine in the capital. Liu Xingzhi asked about Qiushui Village where they were going to stay, and Naya
The person's face was full of words. I'm afraid that the place they settled in was not a very good place. If they didn't make plans early, it would be very troublesome.
"The gap is so big?" Liu Sanye said in shock: "Do you have any other news?"
Liu Xingzhi pondered for a while and said: "I heard that when people like us are assigned to a village, the village chief will arrange it. Because the harvest across the country is not good this year, the three months of food for the refugees that were originally provided have been changed to
It’s been a month, and the seeds to the refugees were originally distributed by the government, but now the village chief gives us a few kilograms from the village’s grain reserves. Do you think, if you were the chief of that village, would you give us good seeds?”
Yun Xi twitched his lips and said: "To the village chief, we are outsiders. Not only can we not bring any benefits, but we also have to share their things. I think not only the village chief, but even the villagers hate us.
"Don't talk about good seeds, you have to decide whether to give them or not!" These words were discussed between the two of them. Now, try to say them as scary as possible so that you won't be disappointed when the time comes!
"So the best way is to prepare the seeds ourselves!" Liu Xingzhi pinched his brows and sighed: "Our Liujia Village is in the south, and here in the north, the things we plant are different.
I don’t know anything about the habits of the crops nearby, which is also a big trouble!”
Yun Xi nodded and said: "Don't count on the villagers in that village. As for the people in the nearby villages, most of them are related to each other and they won't be too polite to us. It's best to stabilize the seeds and sowing habits."
Before that, we need to investigate clearly, this is also the reason why Saburo mentioned it today!"
Old Man Liu took a puff of a large cigarette, which was filled with fine cut tobacco that Yun Xi found in the supermarket, but the cut tobacco could not make him feel happy at this moment.
"San'er, what do you want to do? Put it forward and let's discuss it!"
Liu Xingzhi and Yun Xi looked at each other, and seeing her nodding slightly, he said: "We just went to the grain store and asked about it. The main grain sold here is wheat. It is usually planted now and will wait until April or May next year.
Harvested separately, there are also peanuts, soybeans, cotton, etc. After harvesting wheat, some will be planted. Unlike where we mainly have rice, there are not many rice fields here, mainly dry land. Therefore, we need to buy some wheat.
For seeds, you also need to ask about the precautions for planting seeds.”
Seeing that everyone seemed to have listened, Liu Xingzhi continued: "Our business friend can help transport the seeds there, so I want to buy some for storage first. After all, this is the city closest to the capital. After entering the capital,
I'm afraid it's not only expensive, but also hard to buy good seeds. Judging from the news we inquired about, there are a lot of refugees in the suburbs of the capital this time. Everyone may go to grab the seeds. What do the third grandfather and uncles think?
"
Liu Sanye held the cigarette rod in his hand and explained: "I know the reason for this. I met a businessman who traveled far in the market. I heard from them that a lot of the land on the outskirts of the city was originally given to the feudal lord.
The king's family members. Later, there was a fight between the two sides, and the feudal kings secretly took the people away, which resulted in a lot of land being vacated."
Yun Xi nodded and said: "It's the same as what we just asked about. The new emperor sent away all the people in the original Zhuangzi, leaving only a few Zhuangzi, and the others were distributed to various villages. This resulted in a large number of people in the suburbs of the capital.
It’s sparse and can house a lot of people like us.”
"So!" Mr. Liu San said with a heavy face: "I'm afraid what San'er speculated is true. If we go to the capital to buy, I'm afraid I won't be able to buy any good seeds. Buying here may be the best way!"
After hearing what he said, other people also understood the seriousness of this. They are farmers and depend on the fields for their livelihood, and seeds are indispensable!
"San'er, have you ever asked how much land we will be allocated when we arrive?" Liu Erbo asked aloud.
"If it's fertile land, it's two acres for each person over ten years old, and one acre for each person under ten years old. If it's wasteland, there's no limit! At least one person can get three to five acres, and even children should be able to get two or three acres!
