Farming in the Mountains: Max Level Jiaojiao Is Three Years Old

I want to know if the heavy tax here is related to Dachen Emperor Shiyuan, and he is indeed going to the imperial capital...

However, they haven't even been to Yaoshui Town, they have only been to this Stone Village twice at most, and they still lack understanding of this world...

Therefore, Jiang Yue and Xue Yan were not sure when they would go to the imperial capital. At this moment, they naturally didn't tell Tao Zhen that they would go to the imperial capital one day.

They naturally could afford to let Tao Zhen go by himself, but Tao Zhen had no skills and no background. If he went to the imperial capital by himself, there might be an accident, so they didn't say anything about it.

The best way to figure this out, they felt, was to check it out for themselves.

There were so many people helping with the cleaning, and the inside and outside of the house were not big, and Tao Zhen was not used to help. The courtyard of this small thatched cottage was cleaned and everything was clean.

Even the firewood house was filled with a lot of firewood.

Then everyone asked Jiang Yue and Xue Yan, "Young Master Xue and Madam Jiang, do you have any other luggage besides the notice of missing persons? Shall we bring some bedding and other things from our house?"

There must be other luggage, such as quilts, pillows, mats, etc., but they are all stored in the space, but it is difficult to take them out in front of everyone now.

I saw that Jiang Yuexian thanked everyone for their kindness, and then said: "My husband and I will send a farewell notice, and by the way, we will send our luggage."

"Oh, that's good, that's good." Everyone said. Although they have yet to meet the people under their benefactors. It may not be seen in the future.

But when the benefactor said so, they believed the benefactor.

Including Tao Zhen, is also convinced that there is no doubt.

Jiang Yue and Xue Yan are not stupid, so it is natural to see everyone's trust in them.

This was all cleaned up, and there was nothing else to help, so everyone planned to go back. Jiang Yue and Xue Yan sent everyone to the gate of the yard.

Everyone else went back, but Tao Zhen, Zhang Dazhu, and Zhang Shoushou did not rush to leave.

I saw Zhang Dazhu cheerfully said: "Shoushou and I live next door, if you have anything, you should call us. You can pick and eat the vegetables in the yard, if it wasn't for the seeds you gave, you wouldn't be able to plant them. For such a good dish, last time I went to sell vegetables with Brother Shuanzi and the others, but I only had a basket of vegetables at the time, and I got nearly ten cents. Some people wanted to buy it too, but we were all sold out at the time and couldn't buy it anymore, brother Shuanzi and the villagers will go to sell vegetables in two days, and I will also pick some cabbage and rapeseeds to sell."

Jiang Yue and Xue Yan both thanked him.

Then Xue Yan asked the three: "My daughter-in-law and I are planning to go to the town. I don't know if there is an ox cart nearby. My daughter-in-law can't be tired or do physical work because of her health. The town is so far away. , it’s impossible to walk into the town. We don’t know how to get around in the town, so we need someone to help lead the way. If there is an ox cart, just let the ox cart driver lead the way.”

This Stone Village is so poor, they feel that there is a small possibility of a horse-drawn carriage nearby, but maybe there is an ox-drawn carriage, so they only asked this question.

This is also because there are too many people in the family tonight. The second brother and the others are expected to play cards until midnight. The rest of the family has not slept yet. If they leave the room, they will definitely be seen. Otherwise, they can go to the stable at home to get one. A carriage was loaded into the space and brought to Stone Village.

But now it's the troublesome point. When it's in town, it's the same to buy a carriage from the town here.

The reason why he didn't tell his Yuebao directly that he was pregnant, so he couldn't do physical work, was naturally because the time difference between Daling and Dachen was a bit big. If Dachen passed a few months, Daling only passed a few days. , then his Yuebao's belly will definitely not grow up, but the people here will definitely wonder why his Yuebao's belly hasn't gotten bigger, it is better to just say that it is due to physical reasons and not to say anything about pregnancy.

After listening to Xue Yan's words, Tao Zhen and the three thought that Jiang Yue was in poor health, but did not expect that Jiang Yue was pregnant.

I saw Zhang Shoushou hurriedly said, "There is an ox cart in our village!"

Hearing this, Jiang Yue and Xue Yan were a little surprised. Just now, when they saw what the villagers said about going to the town, they thought there were no cattle in the village.

"Yes, yes," Zhang Dazhu laughed again and again, "it's just a cow. Usually, because it is supposed to be used for ploughing the land, the villagers treasure it like something, so they almost donate it. Before the imperial court confiscates the heavy tax , our cow is often sent to the town by our villagers. Later, after heavy taxation, every household has this cow left, and it becomes rare. We only put a wooden cart on it unless there is an emergency, let us If you take a bullock cart, at other times, you can walk on foot. There is a bullpen behind Brother Shuanzi's house, but Brother Shuanzi's house is a little higher, so the bullpen is covered. It's no wonder you guys I didn't see it. If you want to go to the town, tell the village chief, just put on the wooden cart and you can take you to the town. If you don't have someone to lead the way, I can show you the way, and I will also drive the cattle. car."

Tao Zhen also said: "The nearest villages are several miles away, and those villages only have one cow. It's better to use the cows from our own village. I'll go tell my father now! You wait for me!"

After speaking, without waiting for Jiang Yue and Xue Yan to speak, he strode home to find his father Tao Jinyan.

Jiang Yue and Xue Yan felt that it would be better for them to go and talk in person. They wanted to go with Tao Zhen, but Zhang Dazhu and Zhang Shoushou stopped them, saying that Tao Zhen should go alone, so that they don't have to be so outspoken. Also had to stop, do not follow a go.

Since Zhang Dazhu said that he could lead them to the town, Jiang Yue and Xue Yan naturally asked Zhang Dazhu to help them lead the way.

"Okay, okay." Zhang Dazhu agreed quickly, "It just so happened that I went to the town for a good stroll. Last time I only sold vegetables, and I came back after I sold them." Then he hurriedly said, "I'm going to change my clothes! Put on my best clothes! This is going to town!" After saying that, he rushed home happily.

Zhang Shoushou hummed, and after a while, he was still full of anticipation and said gruffly, "Then... can I, can I go with you?"

It doesn't matter if there are multiple people, Jiang Yue and Xue Yan nodded.

"I want to change into my best clothes too!" After speaking, Zhang Shoushou also rushed back happily. That is next door.

Changing clothes and going to town would obviously make Zhang Dazhu and Zhang Shoushou feel better, and Jiang Yue and Xue Yan naturally didn't stop them.

Jiang Yue only saw Zhang Shoushou also rushed into the yard next door, and then she looked away, and said to her family Xue Yan in a low voice: "We are going to the town, mainly to find a bank and exchange for some silver bills and silver ingots that can be used here. ."

"The carriage must be bought," Jiang Yue continued to suppress her voice, "We can stay here for three or four days before going back this time, but we can't always travel by an ox cart. The ox cart is much slower than the horse cart. This is also true. I’m pregnant, so I can’t ride a horse, otherwise it’s faster to ride directly. Other carriages are hired to take the villagers to post and post missing notices in Diankui County. I also need to buy glue for posting the missing notices. It’s also ancient here, I guess The glues sold are all solid, such as leather glue, bone glue, and fish maw glue, but the price should not be cheap. If you take glue directly in the end of the world, it is estimated that there is not that much glue for us to use in the end of the world. , just rebuilding the home, building the house and decorating, you need a lot of glues... Forget it, it's better like this, just like sticking Spring Festival couplets in farmers, use that kind of paste, that is, the paste that is boiled with flour and water, rice flour and water It's also possible, but it's not as sticky as flour. But people boil it into a paste, but even if I bought skin glue, bone glue, and fish maw glue here, because it is solid, it also needs to be heated and watered in advance, and you have to pay more attention to the heat. It’s good to cook directly with flour and water to make a paste. Besides, the space can grow a lot of wheat in a day, and the wheat can be milled into flour.”

Xue Yan nodded, and felt that it would be more cost-effective to directly post the paste made of flour and water, but: "This requires hiring someone to cook the paste. Someone has to grind the wheat into flour."

He also suppressed his voice.

Jiang Yuedao said: "It's easy to hire someone to cook the paste. Wherever you hire someone to post and send a missing person notice, you can hire someone to cook the paste, and then each person can carry a bucket in his hand. Don't you also hire a carriage? , the carriage can also help deliver the paste. It’s the flour. In fact, I don’t plan to take out the wheat from the space and let the people here help to grind it into flour, which limits our hands and feet too much. We already need it, what should we do? Also, we will definitely go to other places in Dachen to hire someone to post a missing person notice, and we will also go to the imperial capital of Dachen. We can’t just let one person go to one place. Do the local people also help mill it into flour, right? Or are we just waiting in Dianjia County, waiting for the people who mill flour here to mill enough flour for us, and then we go elsewhere? It's too much trouble Well, it's still hard work."

"Exactly," Jiang Yue said again, "because we had planned to come back to Dachen before, and we might live in Dachen, so, these two days, when we were at home, we didn't prepare something to put in the space. There are only a few bags of flour and rice, just to prevent us from encountering any kind of situation here. We don’t even have tools for grinding, so we can’t eat rice and wheat directly. If you stay here for three or four days, you should all be in Dianqi County, and the bags of flour in the space should be enough to cook the paste for posting a missing person notice in Dianqi County for the time being.”

"And after three or four days here," Jiang Yue continued, "we will go back to Daling again. Then we will directly pick up the flour in Daling. Daling has plenty of food, and there is no shortage of flour that has already been ground. Ping'an Town Isn't there a grain warehouse up there, and there's a lot of flour in the village? It just so happens that we will go to my aunt's house for dinner the next night after returning from here, and we will pass by the town, so we will pack a lot of flour in the town by the way. Enter the space, then come here again, and take out as much flour as needed to make a paste, which is convenient and labor-saving.”

"And the wheat in my space is still in the storage room," Jiang Yue said again, "it's not too late to take it out when it's really needed."

Xue Yan naturally had no opinion at all, and nodded again: "Then when we come back from the town, we will hire two aunties in this village, and let me help cook the paste from tomorrow."

"Well." Jiang Yue also had no opinion.

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard footsteps rushing out next door, and soon, they saw that Zhang Dazhu and Zhang Shoushou had put on their best clothes and rushed in front of them.

Even though it was already the best clothes for Zhang Dazhu and Zhang Shoushou, they were still patched, but the patches were not as many as those of the clothes they usually wore.

However, after changing their clothes, Zhang Dazhu and Zhang Shoushou were indeed in a much better mood than before.

After a while, Tao Zhen also came, leading the ox, and the ox pulled the wooden cart, which is the ox cart. Zhang Dazhu and Zhang Shoushou did not wait for Tao Zhen to come over, but they rushed over, and they led the ox cart instead.

Although the people in Stone Village are thin, the cows are well fed and strong.

In this village, no one usually comes back. They are all from the village. Even if there is a yard, everyone doesn't close the yard door very much, so Jiang Yue and Xue Yan didn't close the yard door.

Even if Jiang Yue was able to get on the ox cart by herself, Xue Yan still helped his Yue Bao, always remembering that there was still a baby in his belly.

Hearing that Zhang Shoushou was also going, Tao Zhen could not help but told Zhang Dazhu and Zhang Shoushou something, for fear that Zhang Dazhu and Zhang Shoushou would cause trouble for Jiang Yue and Xue Yan.

Zhang Dazhu and Zhang Shoushou both happily agreed.

Then, Zhang Dazhu and Zhang Shoushou also got on the ox cart and sat in the front, helping to drive the ox cart, and from time to time they turned around and joked with Xue Yan and Jiang Yue who were sitting in the back.

Although the ox cart was slow, it was somewhat bumpy. Xue Yan was naturally nervous and wanted Zhang Dazhu to slow down the ox cart, but Jiang Yue stopped him.

I saw Jiang Yue shaking her head with him, indicating that she was fine. That is to make him not so nervous.

Although Xue Yan was still nervous, she didn't say anything to make the ox cart go slower.

After the ox cart walked for a while, Jiang Yuecai asked, "Uncle Dazhu, what day is it today?"

The last time Jiang Yue also asked this question, Zhang Dazhu still thought it was strange, but this time, Zhang Dazhu didn't care whether it was strange or not, and answered directly: "May 22nd."

Jiang Yue and Xue Yan looked at each other, Dachen had indeed been over a month, almost two months.

Even if he is trusted by the people of Stone Village, he will not ask any more questions.

It's more convenient for them.

After the ox cart left Stone Village, it went in the direction they came from. The road that can accommodate two horse carts side by side obviously leads to Yaoshui Town.

After about two sticks of incense, I saw other villages. They were not scattered like Stone Village, but these villages were concentrated.

They heard from the village chief Tao before that it would take about an hour to walk from Shitou Village to Yaoshui Town, but now riding an ox cart, no matter how slow it is, it is faster than walking. More than half an hour passed.

Yaoshui Town is still quite large, probably because of the many surrounding villages. Although the prosperity cannot be compared with the current Ping An Town in Daling, it is not inferior to the previous Ping An Town at all.

If it weren't for the fact that many people on the road were wearing patched clothes, and obviously they were all peasants, just by looking at the shops on both sides, I really couldn't tell that the peasants here were suffering so badly.
