Farming in space: the struggle of peasant girls

Chapter 237 Chapter 237
Mu Yu was not surprised when she heard that Xiao Qi brought someone to apologize to her. If she didn't value Xiao Qi as the city lord and really wanted to lead the people to live a good life in Huangsha City, she would not have agreed to let the Qu people come.

With a leader who knows right from wrong, he can solve any problems well.

Xiao Qi was very sincere, he not only sent money, but also said that the third uncle would no longer have the ability to make troubles, and he would try his best to avoid such things in the future.

Mu Yu was satisfied, so he accepted their apology, and asked them to write down some traditions of the Naqu tribe. If there were no problems, they could continue to implement them, and if there were problems, they could discuss and solve them together.

Her attitude gave Xiao Qi a sigh of relief, knowing that she was really not angry anymore.

The people from the third uncle's lineage couldn't lift their heads in shame. It turned out that the city lord didn't want to sever their traditions, but they thought too narrowly...

This matter was resolved smoothly. Because of solving the traditional problems of the Qu people, the people of the Qu people no longer feel sorry for the Qu people, and they no longer have a feeling of rejection towards Huangsha City, and they integrated in faster.

The integration of the Qu clan saved a lot of pressure from the government, allowing the people in the city to complete the autumn harvest smoothly.

Even because they integrated so well, the Qu people also joined the autumn harvest team, which greatly accelerated the speed of the autumn harvest, and completed the autumn harvest in only half of the expected time.

After the autumn harvest, the city is filled with joyful atmosphere.

The people of the Qu tribe have the hope of a good harvest because they have received a lot of wages and experience.

Although they have no concept of money, they know that they can exchange for grain at the grain store, cloth at the cloth shop, and various daily necessities at the grocery store. Such things were rarely seen in the deserts of the past. of.

And after seeing this year's bumper harvest, and thinking that they will have a bumper harvest next year, they are naturally full of hope. They feel that they are right, Huangsha City is a good place!
The people in the city harvested the food without much effort due to the help of the Qu people. This was a very novel experience for them who had been working hard during the disaster years but could not eat enough or keep warm.

Although some wages have to be paid, those wages are insignificant compared to the money and food that are about to be received.

Yes, in addition to food, there is money.

It was agreed earlier that the city will provide them with good grain seeds, and when it is harvested, they will recycle the grain they grow and supply them with the same amount of grain, and they will be given three pennies per catty of grain.

Who would refuse such a good thing?

This autumn, as long as the family has planted their own land, each family will have more than 1000 catties of grain and four or five taels of silver in the account.

This is what they may not have gained after two or three years of hard work in the past, but now it is only half a year's income.

And because many people have been allocated a lot of fields, they need to hire people to plant them. Some are given food and some are given money. Those who are in good health and quick hands and feet have already made a lot of money before.

In just half a year, more than [-]% of the people in Huangsha City lived a prosperous life.

The remaining [-]% are not as good as others but are enough to support their lives.

The wards that were once full of old, weak, women, sick and disabled no longer exist. The people inside were either picked up by their own family members, or they lived in newly arranged houses.

Sister Hong and the others are the latter.

Later, the victims who came to the city were only allocated two acres of Susukida, and the residence was rented out to them. Fortunately, the price was not high. If four or five people live together, each person only needs [-] yuan a month in rent. It is better to work in an embroidery workshop The day's wages of the female workers are so high that no one can afford it.

Sister Hong and her four sisters rented a small house, thanks to Wanwen who works in the government office. This house is located near the embroidery workshop, and most of the women workers live nearby. It is easy for the sisters to move around, and there are few people there. If they dare to come here to make trouble, their life will be easier.

Not long after Wanwen and the others went to the government office, a doctor came to the ward to see them for free. Although it doesn't mean that they recovered like ordinary people, anyway, they can take care of themselves, and it's no problem to do some less tiring work.

The five of them worked hard in farming, and they were so busy and exhausted that they only worked on the ten acres of land. They usually lived on the relief food in the city and the relief from other sisters, but they lived a stable life.

Originally, they didn't have much hope for the fields, they just thought that there would be enough to eat. After all, it was unrealistic to expect a good life from farming, but the reality shocked them.

The land had a good harvest, and I really got the money from the city!
The food they got was enough for them to feed for a year, and the few taels of silver were enough to save the five of them's daily necessities!
The five of us stayed together, when did life become so simple?

They are all used to living a hard life, and they didn't even get through the hard life. They were forced to fall into prostitution and lived in misery for half their lives.

If life was so simple, how could they have lived so miserable before?

It's not that life has become easier, it's that living in Huangsha City is simple.

Sister Hong looked at the teary-eyed people, and her own vision blurred. She smiled and encouraged them.

"Look, I just said, our good days are coming! From now on, we will be together and live a good life!"

……

"Return to the city lord, we have received a total of more than 480 million catties of grain this autumn harvest, totaling more than [-] shi!"

More than 480 million catties of grain is quite a large amount...

Mu Yu was shocked, and couldn't help gasping, it was much more than she expected.

At that time, she expected to have a weight of 100 million catties.

"Is there enough food in our warehouse to distribute to the people?"

Since she made a policy of exchanging ordinary grain purchased from outside for new grain at the very beginning, so now that she has harvested 480 million catties of new grain, she should distribute another 480 million catty of grain and more than 1 taels of grain to the people. silver.

She didn't pay attention to more than 1 taels of silver. She had transferred a lot of copper coins and scraps of silver from Yuanshan Town long before. Nothing at all.

But with 480 million catties of grain, how many warehouses do we have to fill?

Even if it is bought outside, it will cost more than one hundred thousand taels, not to mention that it is very difficult to buy such a large batch of grain.

Yuanshan Town also grows new grains from the ones she gave. The nearest place is Bazhou. How could Bazhou produce so much grain?
That is, General Ling in Bazhou will see such a large batch of grain flow into Huangsha City?Totally impossible.

It turned out that she was right in her guess. If she bought less than 100 million catties of grain in Bazhou, she would never be able to buy it again, even if the price was increased. However, there are still many people who have surplus grain, and it was General Ling who made the move.

This is the critical time, if you can't produce food, you will lose your trust with the people...

"What are you worried about?"

"So much food, how much have we distributed now?"

"It's all sent out."

"Huh? Where did you get so much food?"

It was only then that Ji Xiucai understood why she was worried and irritable just now, and quickly explained,
"We received a total of more than 130 million catties of grain from Bazhou and Yuanshan Town, and there was still a lot of shortage. At that time, the city lord was busy dealing with the affairs of the Qu clan, so I told Miss Yang Shuang about it, and the girl contacted me. Only people from the Yuan family in Jinzhou got together in time to collect 480 million catties of grain.”

Mu Yu breathed a sigh of relief, the Jinzhou Yuan family is indeed a big grain merchant, even if the Yuan family is not enough, they can get it from other grain merchants.

"How is the price negotiated?"

A good relationship is a good relationship, but business matters are never ambiguous.

"City Lord, people from the Yuan family are waiting in the mansion now, wouldn't it be better for you to discuss it in person?"
