Farming in space: the struggle of peasant girls

Chapter 155 Chapter 155

When Mu Yu arrived in Yuanshan Town, he really experienced the changes in Yuanshan Town. Unlike the dull and decadent one before, Yuanshan Town is alive now, full of vigor and hope.

On the way before arriving, many people waited on the side of the road to greet them early, helped them ensure the safety of the surroundings, and talked to them enthusiastically.

Along the way, I can see that most of the nearby fields are planted with green crops, and there are still many busy figures in the fields, which is completely opposite to the situation where there were only sporadic greens when I came here before.

"There are so many people farming in the second half of the year, and the crops seem to be growing well. I'm afraid this winter will not be sad..."

Immediately, some townspeople laughed and echoed her words,
"What the girl said is that there is hope for this winter, all thanks to the girl and the people in the girl's village!
If no girl gave us a morsel of food, we might not be able to survive, so why would we care about farming?
Those who had the energy to farm before did not have good grain seeds. Looking at the harvest in the first half of the year, it would not take long to eat the bran. How can there be hope to continue planting?
It must be the kindness of the girl who sells us the good grain seeds in the village, so that we can have hope.

Looking at the growth of the crops in the field now, not to mention enough to eat, at least this past winter, there was no problem..."

Looking at the surrounding fields, Mu Yu saw that they were green from a distance, but if he looked closely, he would find that these crops were far from those in Taoyuan Village.

This is also natural, after all, the grain seeds she had people bring to the town were simply passed through the spring water, only to germinate more, nothing else.

She also saw how the crops were planted in the town in the first half of the year. The crops were too sparse, not even a quarter of the normal size, just sparse, and they were obviously thin and yellow. Even the tassels can't be pulled out, so you don't need to think about it to know that the harvest is not good.

In fact, from spring to now, there have been five or six rains one after another, but it's just a drizzle, and it stops after a while.

How light is the rain?
The ground just got wet and then stopped. When it rains, put a bowl outside the house, and when the rain stops, half of the bowl will not be able to catch the water, that's all.

However, although it is light rain, it is undeniable that the effect is there.

If the food is planted, at least it will grow out, even if it is an ordinary grain, the harvest will be much higher than before; some low-lying places have already sprouted weeds; those low-lying river bottoms and lake bottoms can even accumulate some water .

The situation is not so hopeless, at least it gives people some hope.

She asked people to bring the grain seeds to the town with the intention that she could not do more for them, but at least it could bring some hope.

It now appears that her goal has been achieved.

The people that can be seen on the street don't say that everyone has a happy face, and few are downcast. They walk a lot faster than before, as if they are rushing to do something.

When we got to the street where the Taoyuan Grain Shop was located, the situation suddenly changed again.

There were people coming and going on the street, and it was very lively. There was also a teahouse around the grain store, and there were many people sitting in it, and there were also well-dressed businessmen leading horses.

This scene is not like a disaster year, but a scene that can be seen in an ordinary peacetime, but it is just like this on this street.

Mu Yu didn't look much, and went straight into the Taoyuan Grain Shop.

In the shop, Mrs. Li and his wife were weighing food for a group of people queuing up. When they saw her coming in, they immediately handed over the work to the waiter and took her to the back room to talk.

At that time, Mu Yu thought that the grain business was going to be big, so he found a big shop to do it from the beginning.

Now it seems that I did the right thing, just look at the current level of excitement, if a small shop can't handle it, the business will obviously be better in the future, and this shop can do it too.

As soon as Mu Yu sat down, the Li couple brought a stack of ledgers to show her.

"Miss, please read, this book records the entry and exit of grain, and this book records the entry and exit of land property."

Mu Yu took the two ledgers and began to look through them, and the two of them stood at the bottom with hands down to explain to her.

"Let's talk about grain first. It has been more than two months since the grain store opened, and it has sold a total of nearly [-] catties of grain, of which [-] catties were transferred from Yuanda merchants, and the other [-] catties were sent from the village."

Mu Yu's eyes brightened slightly, this amount was much better than she thought.

Although I know that most of the food is exchanged for labor, but so much can be exchanged, it shows that there is so much demand. If there is no one to do things for the food, it will be a big deal.

As long as the food can be used, it will be fine.

According to this calculation, an extra batch of grain from the village can be transported to the town for storage.

"Besides, the assets we have obtained, in the past two months, we have acquired ten shops, seventeen houses, and more than 360 mu of land, including some lots.

Quite good.

The rest include more than [-] taels of gold wares, more than [-] taels of silver wares, and several other jade and jewellery.

There are people who exchange their labor for food, the land has been planted with food, and the houses and shops have been tidied up and ready to be used at any time. "

The Li couple had done the accounting many times before, and they were shocked long ago.

The sum of all this money is worth the entire property of a small and medium-sized family in Huangsha City in the past, which may have been accumulated by several generations of a small family for tens or hundreds of years.

But now, this is only two months' income from the grain shop.

Maybe in a year or two, this grain shop will be able to earn close to the previous wealth of the Wang family!

In the past, the Wang family was one of the richest merchants in Huangsha City!
However, I can only think about it in terms of property. The Wang family can have the status at that time. Money is far from the most important thing. It is the accumulation and luck of more than a hundred years.

Mu Yu was also shocked by the money, feeling as if he got so much money for nothing without paying anything!

She really experienced the feeling of getting rich suddenly.

To be honest, it feels pretty good, very good!

But it's just a temporary thing. This kind of sudden wealth is based on natural disasters and man-made disasters. You can't think about it carefully. If you think about it, there are bones under the gold.

She came back to her senses and asked the Li couple about the farming situation in the town.

"There are thousands of acres of land in the town, about [-] acres were planted in spring, and the harvest was dismal.

Although it rained in the second crop of this year, it was just like that. Taking the previous crop as an example, not many people planned to plant the land. Before we planted, only a hundred acres of land were broken.

We planted the land, and the crops grew very well, so people in the town came to ask.

We exchanged the grain seeds for them according to your instructions. In the past two months, besides our [-] mu of land, another [-] to [-] mu of land has been planted with grain. "

Mu Yu nodded, this number is already quite a lot, although it is far less than the amount of land in the town, but there are only so many people in the town now, these are enough for the townspeople to support themselves.

In other words, after this year passes, the people in the town can live normally, and the disaster year is over.

"Take me to the restaurant."
