The blessing of the splendid farm family is married to the world

Chapter 224
It turned out that when Uncle An's family was preparing to come north, chaos began to appear in Linhe Village. Uncle An deliberately persuaded a few more families to come with them, but he did not expect that all the tribe members refused for various reasons.

Some said they wanted to take care of the family property in Xipu County, and some said they wanted to join relatives.

Seeing that people's hearts were divided, Uncle An divided the sugar shops in his family according to the occupancy of each family and the contributions of each family's personnel over the years before leaving.

But the hearts of the people are not enough. Some people covet more gold and silver they took away, and even join forces with the bandits and refugees on the way. They encountered several waves of interceptions before they left the De'an Mansion.

The bodyguards hired at the beginning were still working, but after leaving the De'an Mansion, they gradually became less dedicated.

Their walking speed was very slow, so before the bodyguards' inattentiveness had any bad effects, An Chong led people to pick them up.

However, the subsequent journey did not go smoothly because of the army escorting them. It is true that no one dared to rob them, but more people came to seek shelter after seeing their strong soldiers.

An Chong had a good heart and took in a lot of poor people. Gradually, problems arose.

One day, several disaster victims got together to discuss a plan to steal food, grass, gold and silver from the team at night.

If it weren't for someone to inform, there would be damage.

Afterwards, An Chong hardened his heart and stopped taking in people. The food for those who were originally taken in was also reduced by a few levels. He only had one dry food a day to ensure that he would not starve to death.

But when they were approaching Huoliang City, something happened in the team. A girl who had always been very honest secretly poured sweat medicine into their food.

An Chong found out, and during the questioning, the girl suddenly took out a rusty knife and slashed at her. He fought back with the knife and wounded the girl on the shoulder, and was unable to save her in the end.

This is why An Chong was very depressed along the way. Coupled with the loss of a few brothers on the way, An Ao, who was injured a little, had a fever when he entered the city. stop crying.

After arranging for the uncle's family to stay, An Xu came out and found An Chong in a secluded passage between tents.

"Aren't you feeling well?" An Xu also walked in, raised his hand and patted him lightly on the shoulder.

An Chong turned his head and saw his sister who was still smiling as before, and he smiled in his heart, "Sister, I'm not uncomfortable. These days, I have also been on the battlefield and seen many dead people. I am used to it." Yes. But today’s Daming is like an old man suffering from various skin diseases, every time he sees a piece, he feels shocking.”

An Xu turned around and sat side by side with An Chong on the floor. Hearing his words, he completely understood.

But any normal person can't see the human heart that becomes more terrifying than wild animals during the famine years.She comforted: "Okay, I'll be fine for a while. Tomorrow, I have something to arrange for you to do."

Upon hearing this, An Chong cheered up immediately, "Sister, I'm fine, what do you want me to do."

Go to the herdsman's house to collect cow and horse manure.

A catty of dung, half a catty of coarse grains.

She can turn all the dung collected into soil and fertilizer, and the dung of cows and horses can be exchanged for food, which must also allow the grassland people to spend the next days more peacefully.

Compared with other places in the Ming Dynasty, the few rainfalls that came to the northern grasslands after the beginning of spring were really not disasters.

There are sweet potatoes that can be seen everywhere now, as well as soil and chemical fertilizers that can be easily exchanged among the people, plus various ditches built by the warlords. There are even more taxes and food than in previous years.

Because compared to previous years, the number of residents on the grassland and the people in Huoliang City have increased.

And this year, it can really be called a bumper harvest for every household.

Every household has a good harvest, and it is impossible to hide it, so not long after, many grain merchants entered Huoliang City to collect grain.

After uniting with local grain merchants, these people began to collect grain at a price that was less than [-]% higher than last year.

An Xu and Zong Che didn't come to the city very often, but they didn't have eyeliners in the city. On the day when grain merchants from other places entered the city, several officials from the magistrate's yamen who had already surrendered to Zong Che's side sent a message. come out.

The next day, Zong Che was dressed in casual clothes, and told An Xu to take her outside the city, and he took her into the city early in the morning.

As soon as they entered the city gate, they saw several grain collection points.In front of each grain collection point, there are people standing and asking, and some people directly carry the grain to the past.

Before that time, An Xu still placed his hopes on the wisdom of the people in life, thinking that in such a time, no one would be willing to sell grain.

But the reality turned out to be so slapped.

Seeing a man pushing a cart out of the grain selling point, with a smile on his face, An Xu couldn't help stopping him and asked, "Brother, the past two years have been uneven. If you sell the grain, you won't be afraid to buy it again." When the wind and rain are not going well, do you have nothing to eat like last year?"

But seeing this man was stunned for a moment when he heard this, he smiled and said: "You are ignorant, right? We have the Warlord and the Warden's wife in Huoliang City, so we are not afraid of any kind of famine. You know, now Where did the sweet potatoes that yield thousands of catties per mu come from?"

An Xu was a little dumbfounded. She didn't expect that it was her and Zong Che who made the people so confident in selling food.

They are now the confidence of the people in the north.

I really don't know what to laugh at.

The man immediately asked himself and answered: "It is the fairy seed that our wife of the warlord found, and there may be other fairy seeds in the future. If there is a famine, I am not afraid. Besides, my grandparents are born, and my daughter-in-law has to eat well." Yes, the grandson will not go hungry, we have no money to sell chicken, duck and fish without selling food."

There was a couple passing by pushing a cart full of sweet potatoes. The woman heard their conversation and interjected: "Which family didn't keep food for themselves before selling the grain? Sister, there are a lot of sweet potatoes. The price they charge is high, why don't you also sell some?"

An Xu, hehehe, let me tell you, it is impossible for the northern border to face food shortages at all?
After that, she and Zong Che continued to walk into the city, and found that the people in Huoliang City were really optimistic. There were no less than dozens of food outlets in the city, and there were many people selling food everywhere.

According to the reason they asked, some of these people had a happy event at home, some had a sick person at home, in short, they all needed money. Looking at the sweet potatoes piled up in the cellar, since someone wanted to collect them, they would sell them for money.

After walking for most of the morning, Zong Che took An Xu into a restaurant, "Go eat something first."
