Waves at the end of Han Dynasty

Chapter 93
Juxianzhuang, Huang County, Donglai County, Qingzhou.

Qin Li is in a good mood today. The granary construction site in the village is a little different from the past. After working so hard for so long, this "big project" is finally completed.

Qin Li walked around several times around the fruits of everyone's labor during this period of time, looking with pride at this huge building squatting on the ground like several mountains.

In order to finish the project before the new year, he led the craftsmen to work overtime all day long. Now, except for the shelter that Yu He secretly remodeled, the rest of the projects in the village were finally completed ahead of schedule.

These buildings are neatly arranged, like solid fortresses.Each of them is made of loess, which is thick and dry, in order to resist the humid air and the restless living environment.In order to ensure food safety, they really want to build these granaries like fortresses.

At present, Qin Li feels that there is nothing more important than storing grain, because it is related to the future development of Juxian Village.For Juxianzhuang, there must be more sufficient funds to have the confidence to do bigger things.

As soon as Lin Lin finished her class, Qin Li came over to report the good news. The matter of food price difference could be put on the agenda in advance, which really made her feel good.

Looking at the weather that is about to turn bad, she has been having trouble sleeping and eating for the past few days, worrying that she will not be able to finish the project before the end of the year. When spring begins, these part-time workers will have to do farm work. Now the biggest stone has fallen to the ground. She also suddenly came to inspiration.

"By the way, when I go to check the grain purchase channels this time, I will bring back some chickens, ducks and other poultry by the way."

After Qin Li reported the situation, he also proposed to go to the county to learn about the grain market, so Lin Lin arranged another job for him along the way.

"What's the use of buying poultry...? Only the gentry or the farms dedicated to the gentry raise a few. Even if they can be bought back, the amount is not much, and the price is probably not cheap. It may not be enough for the whole village to eat. one day."

Qin Li didn't expect to have additional tasks, so he replied with some surprise.

"No, no, you can raise poultry first. You can buy more. I have other uses. It would be even better if I can recruit people who are good at breeding chickens and ducks. During this time, everyone has worked hard. Now The most important work has been completed, and it is time to celebrate. As for improving the food, I will personally take people to catch the sea again..."

Breeding chickens and ducks is also an attempt by Lin Lin. Juxian Village is next to the mountains and forests, and there are many natural foods. It will not be too expensive to raise them. In the future, some eggs can be sold, and even if they cannot be sold, they will be left to the people in the village. It is also good to increase protein intake.

As for the structure of meat, the current sea hunting has shown good benefits. The harvest of this method even surpassed that of the previous hunters. With the way of slate barbecue, everyone can basically accept the taste of all kinds of strange seafood.

At first, there were a few sensitive children who couldn't bear the fishy smell of seafood, but under Lin Lin's ruthless oppression, they gradually got used to it after eating a few times...

"Sister Lin, shall I go with Uncle Qin too?"

Before Qin Li could reply, Lin You said that he was following Lin Lin all day now, and he knew many of her thoughts after communicating with her at any time. He felt that he could not only explain to Qin Li in detail on the road, but also share a part of it. work.

"That's fine too."

Qin Li's whole mind is now on pouring food, so he nodded without thinking too much, and led Lin You down to implement it.

----

There was a happy event in the village, and it was time to celebrate again. Lin Lin arranged for a few female relatives to make some preparations in advance.

However, this is the real world after all, not an imaginary world. Problems always come one after another, testing people's wisdom and endurance.

When she returned to the room and saw the accounts of the village that Chen Wei sent, she couldn't be happier anymore...

In addition to writing and copying books recently, Chen Wei is assisting Qin Li to organize the accounts of the village according to Chen Wentian's request before leaving. This method of bookkeeping is called the six-note bookkeeping method by Chen Wentian. On the basis of the "old management, new collection, expulsion, and recognition" of the law, the two items of unpaid receivable and unpaid payable have been added.

During this period of time, Juxian Village did not have a stable income, and the daily expenses were maintained by the old capital left by going out to run a business when he and Chen Wentian attacked the cottage together.Although Lin Lin didn't adopt orphans anymore, she was purchasing books and paying the wages of craftsmen and guards...

Lin Lin looked at the last column of the account, and found that there was only 30 yuan, and there were tens of thousands of wages to be deducted from the payable and unpaid column...

In other words, in just over a month, Chen Wentian and the others had spent the profit of more than [-] yuan from running the business in Jiaodong, and according to the plan, this would support the expenses of the village for three months!
Because according to the demand of Jiaodong's salt farm, they can only make four trips a year...

Calculated in this way, there is not much money left to purchase grain and resell it. Lin Lin felt that it was a waste to fill the newly built granary.

With this question in her mind, she unconsciously came to Chen Wei's room.

Through the door, she could hear the constant coughing of the people inside. She hurried into the room and saw that Chen Wei was still diligently copying the books.

It was really difficult for him, and copying books was not an easy task.

You know, at this time, paper is still a very precious thing, so the price of books bound with paper is higher. Although the profit is also a lot, the sales volume is much smaller than that of bamboo slips!

This means that Chen Wei spends most of his time engraving books...

To carve characters on bamboo slips, in order to save material and reduce weight, the engraving must be as small as possible, because the width of each bamboo slip is also very narrow.

This has a very bad effect on the eyes. Chen Wei does this thing in the room every day, and he can't let the eyeballs relax properly. It will definitely not work if it goes on like this.

"Why are you coughing? Could it be a cold?"

"Ah, Lin... Sister Lin, no, I just have a sore throat."

"Could it be because these bamboo slips haven't been opened for a long time, and they're a little moldy?"

"No, it's all new."

"Have you copied a lot?"

"That's all."

Chen Wei glanced at the hills of bamboo slips behind him, and Lin Lin was very surprised. Have you carved so many in just a few days?It seems that this kid will do his best when he has a chance to repay his favor...

If they are all sold, they will definitely be able to exchange for a lot of money. In this era, books are high-end goods. Even if they are made of bamboo slips, the price will make the common people daunting...

"Brother, you can't fight like this. It will ruin your body. I'll ask Mrs. Yun to give you side medicine. Not only is your efficiency not high, but it's also unsustainable. You have to listen to this matter." mine!"

Although Lin Lin looked at the piled up letters, she was very moved, but she knew it would be impossible to do so. She immediately stopped Chen Wei, but with Chen Wei's character, I am afraid that as soon as she leaves, he will recover immediately...

In addition, the book slips also need to be sold. We need to discuss these matters with Lin You and Qin Li for a solution!
I thought that once the granary was built, it would be a little easier, but I didn't expect that I still couldn't let go of the tight string in my mind.

Lin Lin came out from Chen Wei's place, and wanted to discuss with Qin Li and Lin You, but they had already left for the county...

Inadvertently, passing by Chen Wentian's former house, Lin Lin missed the people in this house again...!
