Chapter 193

Several pigs were slaughtered in the village a few years ago. After the whole village ate a meal of slaughtered pigs, each household shared some meat.

Lin Xiaoman and his brother had no shortage of meat at home, so they didn't go there, but Lin Daqiang still sent over their share, along with this year's dividend.

Every household in the village has dividends. Although it is not as good as Lin Xiaoman's family, it is quite considerable.

However, after planting land with Lin Xiaoman's family for a year and building a greenhouse for another season, the money can only be regarded as small money in the eyes of the villagers.

When Lin Dawu called them over to eat glutinous rice balls, everyone was discussing how much wasteland they would open up next year, how much new food and vegetables they would plant, and how many chickens, ducks, pigs and sheep they would raise.

There are even some people who want to raise cattle. Nowadays, every family wants to plant more land. The plowed land can no longer be dug with a shovel at a time. With a cow at home, plowing not only saves labor but also saves time. Everyone can buy it For the cow's money, I just don't know if I can buy a good calf from Lin Xiaoman.

Seeing that everyone was talking about how to earn money and what to raise in the spring, Lin Daqiang was very relieved. When the villagers mentioned farming in the past, they were worried about how much food they had worked hard for a year, how much food would be left after paying the food tax, and whether it would be enough for the family. People eat and use, when have you seen such a beaming one?

But after having new grains, there will be no such worries in the future. The only thing to consider is how much to plant and what to plant.

Well, he has to discuss this matter with Xiaoman first. In addition to new food, he also needs to raise more calves.

I didn’t dare to raise more cattle in the past because I was afraid that the cattle would eat too much and they would not be able to raise them in winter. Now every family has no shortage of food, and with corn stalks and straw, they are not afraid that the cattle will not eat in winter.

It's just that there are so many cattle to be raised at once, can Xiaoman get so many calves?

Lin Daqiang thought about it and wanted to do it. When he found Lin Xiaoman's house, there was a burst of fragrance wafting from Lin Xiaoman's house.

It's cold and it's time to eat hot pot. What Lin Xiaoman wants to make today is a tomato and beef pot. The ingredients are all bought from there. While eating, Lin Xiaoman tells Lu Jin the feasibility of glass manufacturing.

Lu Jin was listening with great interest when he heard Lin Daqiang's loud voice outside the hospital, "Xiao Man, are you at home?"

Everyone in the village calls Princess Lin Xiaoman, but Lin Daqiang still calls Xiaoman when he is in a hurry.

Lin Xiaoman didn't mind either. In fact, she didn't feel much about the identity of the princess. After all, who has ever seen a princess who lives in a few brick houses and only has two maids around?

"Here, Uncle has something to say." Lin Xiaoman answered from the room, and then Lin Daqiang stepped in.

He has been to Lin Xiaoman's house several times, and he knows that Lu Jin and Qing Shu have been living here recently.

Greet Lu Jin first, then take the bowls and chopsticks handed over by Lin Erhu, sit down and eat while getting straight to the point, "Xiao Man, everyone in the village is discussing about raising calves next year, do you think you can get calves?" ?”

calf?Lin Xiaoman thought he could get it, but how big would it be?It takes a lot of effort to enter the cabinet if it is too big, and it will take a few years to raise the one that is too small. It will be planted in the spring, and it will not be able to catch up with this year's spring plowing.

Why can't Lu Jin get some war horses to plow the land?
"Uncle Daqiang, how big do you want to raise in the village? I'll look for it."

Lin Daqiang said: "Of course, the bigger the better, if there are no big ones, a small calf will be fine, and the big deal will be to wait until next year when they grow up. You don't have to worry, you can get as much as you can, and it's okay if you can't get it."

Lin Xiaoman was wondering if the cattle farm over there could buy half-sized calves, so he heard Lu Jin say, "A few hundred miles to the northwest of Qingping County is beyond the Great Wall. The barbarians there live by herding cattle. I can send someone to See if you can buy adult cows and horses outside the Great Wall."

Not only did Lin Daqiang look pleasantly surprised, but Lin Xiaoman also cheered up, "How many cows can you buy? How many sheep?"

Lu Jin shook his head, "It's hard to say, we have to go and talk about it."

Lin Xiaoman nodded hurriedly, "Buy, you have to buy one for every family. It's okay to buy more. In the spring, there will be a lot of land reclamation. The more cattle the better."

"Sure, I'll send someone to buy cattle outside the Great Wall."

Thinking of Beyond the Great Wall, Lin Xiaoman thought that Xu Yuanru had reminded her that the Hu people would go to war because of the severe drought, and it would only happen in a few years. If you mention it, you can take the opportunity to remind Lu Jin.

After all, it was only a few hundred miles away. Once the Hu people started a war, Qingping County, which was getting richer and richer, would definitely become their target.

Lin Daqiang left with a full belch, Lin Xiaoman and Lu Jin mentioned this matter, "I heard Xu Yuanru say that in a few years' time, the Hu people will experience a drought. At that time, their cattle and sheep will not have enough pasture, and they may start a war. Do you want to remind the guards on the border?"

Lu Jin didn't doubt the authenticity of Xu Yuanru's words. After hearing the words, he pondered for a moment and said, "I'll write a letter to the general who defends the city, asking him to help buy cattle, and then ask him to step up inspections. The batch of weapons seized from the cave earlier Some of them are sharper than those made by us, and at the same time, they also get a piece of iron smelting. The emperor sent someone to remake the weapons according to the iron smelting technique. In two years, all soldiers can use the newly made weapons. Don’t be afraid of barbarians coming.”

Lin Xiaoman frowned when he heard that the weapons in the cave were sharper than those made by them. Although it is also possible that the rebels got a good method of making iron, why is there only one batch?Or after Xu Yuanru was arrested?It made her wonder if she got it from Xu Yuanru.

This sloppy wall is an unstable factor.

Seeing Lin Xiaoman frowning, Lu Jin understood what she was thinking, and comforted her: "Don't be afraid, let people watch her, it won't make any splashes."

Lin Xiaoman said 'hmm', but he was not as confident as Lu Jin in his heart.

He has never seen the guns of the later generations, so he naturally does not understand how lethal modern weapons are. Now Xu Yuanru just came up with an iron smelting technique, which can increase the hardness of the iron by a few percent, so that he can have an absolute advantage in the war.

If she gets a gun bomb for the enemy one day, it will be as devastating as a world war.

Do you want to teach Lu Jin the principle of guns and bombs before her?Lin Xiaoman hesitated, what if Lu Jin is also a warlike person in his heart?

On the night of the fifteenth day, there was a festive lantern scene in the city. Today, the gates of the county seat are open day and night, and many people from the village made an appointment to go to the city to see the lanterns.

Lin Xiaoman and Lin Erhu also went to join in the fun.Naturally, Lu Jin and Qing Shu also went with them.

Besides them, Xiuyu and Xiuxiang also followed.

Although it was still cold on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, there were obviously many more people in the city than usual. Even the roadsides were full of hawkers who brought their own homemade food to sell.

There are even those who carry baskets and sell among the crowd.

Lin Xiaoman also saw that Lin Xiangxing's uncles and aunts were selling all kinds of skewers in the crowd with baskets on them. The top was covered thickly, and when opened, the skewers inside were still hot.
