In the famine, others ate Guanyin soil, but he had space to build a farm.

Several people took the sorghum flour paste and ate it with gusto. After Lin Kunlun arrived, he gradually adapted to the food here. You know, nowadays, even wild vegetables are hard to eat in many places, let alone sorghum flour, which is even more rare. Even other families in the village mostly mix a small amount of grains or wheat husks in the wild vegetable soup to fill their stomachs.

"Master, food is running out at home again. We almost sold out all of it today, more than fifty kilograms!" Liu Ye said suddenly.

"Save these sweet potatoes first, as well as these two rabbits and a pheasant. Keep the pheasant, and send the rabbit to the town tomorrow to exchange for some silver together with the animal skins that Asong brought. I will take the herbs like Polygonum multiflorum to Lanzhou to see a doctor. The most important thing now is to exchange for more food." Although Lin Kunlun can grow food in his own space, the space is limited, and he does not want to use it all for growing food. He also has to grow some herbs and spiritual objects. Therefore, more food must be exchanged in the early stage.

"Well, let's go to the town tomorrow morning and exchange as much as we can. Food will become more and more expensive, and there may not be any in town."

Lin Kunlun thought for a moment and decided to exchange more food this time. He had to ask Lin Da and even Lin Er to go with him. He couldn't bring all the food back. He had to find an excuse to send some of it up the mountain and then quietly put it into the space. After all, food is life now, and it is inevitable that some people will be greedy. If people see that they bring back too much food, it will inevitably cause trouble.

On the other side of the village, Zhou Da and Zhou Er used half-threat and half-inducement methods to collect some common herbs from the villagers.

"Brother, do we really need to give them so much food?" Zhou Er asked as they walked.

"Let's first see how much these herbs can be sold for. If we can make money, we'll give them some food. They'll help us pick herbs for free, so why not? If we can't make money, we might as well use them to drink!" Zhou said with a big laugh, as the two of them each carried a sack of herbs.

"Actually, there is another way that saves us from collecting everywhere." Zhou Da suddenly laughed.

"What method?" Zhou Er asked curiously as he put down the sack on his shoulder.

"Lin Kunlun has exchanged so many herbs, he will definitely go to the town to sell them. We can just wait and rob his food halfway! You know, food is hard currency and its price changes every day! If we rob his food, it will be enough for us to enjoy ourselves for a while! Don't you like the widow in Dongcun? I heard that their family has run out of food a long time ago. If you give her that half bag of food, she will thank you very much..." Zhou said with a big laugh.

"What a good idea! I want to see if Lin Kunlun dares to show off in front of us!" Zhou Er said with a smile.

Lin Kunlun certainly didn't know what Zhou Dazhou was planning on Tuesday. He ordered Lin Shi and Lin Shui to inform their uncles.

“Lin Shi and Lin Shui! Wait a minute, go inform your uncles and ask them to come to the town with us tomorrow morning! Just tell them that we need their help in transporting the food!”

Lin Shi and Lin Shui immediately went to inform Lin Da and Lin Er. Since Lin Da and Lin Er carried the food back, Lin Kunlun's two sisters-in-law had a much better impression of Lin Kunlun.

"Lin Da! I didn't expect Kunlun to be so smart! He actually thought of exchanging these useless herbs for food!" Lin Kunlun's sister-in-law said to Lin Da.

"My third brother has always been the smartest among us three brothers! He used to pick mushrooms and other things and sell them in town! If it weren't for Day 2 and Day 3, Zhou, who got him addicted to gambling, he wouldn't have almost starved to death!" Boss Lin has always believed that his third brother is very capable.

"My third brother also said that the scope of this drought is very wide and the court is likely to collect taxes!" Lin Da sighed.

"What should we do? I'm afraid we won't be able to harvest much from the crops in the fields! If we pay taxes, won't everyone starve to death?" Mrs. Lin frowned. You know, he has been starving since last year. It's not easy for Lin Kunlun to have more food these days, so he can eat more. But if all the crops in the fields are taxed this year, it won't even be enough. I don't know how we can survive.

"Third brother has thought about it a long time ago! He asked us to take advantage of the period when there are still roasted grains for sale in the town and bring some back!" Boss Lin's thoughts were relatively simple. His wife was a more thoughtful person.

"There have been rumors in the village these days about how much extra food we have. If you bring too much food back, it might be dangerous! Why don't you discuss with your third brother and hide some of the food there first or bring it back in the middle of the night!"

Boss Lin couldn't help but laugh when he heard this.

"You are really careful! But my third brother has already thought of it. He has found a relatively secret place in the mountains! He plans to store some food in the mountains! If anything happens, we will hide in the mountains!"

"Third brother is really thoughtful!" Mrs. Lin sighed. In her heart, she thought that her husband, his second brother, and Lin Kunlun were too simple-minded. She just hoped that his third brother would not sell out his two elder brothers!

Lin Er's family didn't think so much. Lin Er's wife only knew that the family had enough food these days. When she heard that Lin Kunlun asked Lin Er to help, she immediately agreed happily.

On the second day, Lin Da went to the village chief to borrow a wheelbarrow. This time, the five of them headed towards the town together.

We passed by other villages along the way and saw the crops in the fields that had completely dried up.

"Third brother! Do you think taxes will really be collected this year?" Lin Er asked at this time. Now they thought that Lin Kunlun was the most knowledgeable among the three brothers.

"It is very likely that the court will collect taxes! There is a large-scale drought in the west of the Kunlun court! Taxes were exempted for one year last year! And there are barbarians in the north who have been harassing! So there has been a large army stationed in the north! The daily expenses of this army are very high! So the possibility of the court collecting taxes is very high! This is why we have to stock up more food earlier! I am afraid that if we don't get through the extreme food, we won't be able to buy it even if we have money!" You may have sighed. In the face of such a disaster, the power of ordinary people is really minimal. Even if he is a figure who can call the wind and rain in modern times. In this ancient society, he is just an ordinary farmer.

He felt that the current situation of the Great Kun Empire was very similar to that of the late Ming Dynasty. The same thing happened with the great disaster in the west and the nomadic peoples harassing the north all year round. It was really a situation of internal and external troubles.

"This time we will exchange as much grain as we can! Then I want to store some of the grain in the mountains!" Lin Kunlun said after thinking for a while.

"Is it really possible that there will be chaos?" Lin Da asked worriedly. Although life is hard now, and they can't even fill their stomachs, they still know the old saying that it is better to be a dog in peacetime than a man in troubled times.

When the Dakun Dynasty was not unified, it was very difficult for the people at the grassroots level to survive. Not only were they exploited by various armies, but they could also be sent to the battlefield as cannon fodder at any time.

"It's hard to say! From the situation in our village, we can see that most families can only survive by relying on wild vegetables! We are located in the southwest, and the products in the mountains are relatively abundant! If it were some plains and hilly areas, I'm afraid they would have been eating tree bark and grass roots by now!" Lin Kunlun has read some records about ancient droughts? At that time, when people were hungry, they would go to other places to find food and become refugees! Driven by hunger, and under the temptation of filling their stomachs by people with ulterior motives, these people are likely to become a group of bandits.

The regimes of Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong and others in the late Ming Dynasty were established from these refugees.

Along the way, I saw many people digging wild vegetables in the wild. However, due to the lack of rain, the wild vegetables and trees in the wild did not grow well. So the food would become less and less.

"Dad! Do you think these people will starve to death?" Lin Shui was watching an old man with a child struggling to find wild vegetables. The child was holding a handful of grass roots and stuffing them into his mouth.

"There's nothing we can do about it! In the face of natural disasters, without the government's help, it would be hard for these people to survive! What we can do now is to try our best to ensure our own survival! Help the people in the village to the best of our ability!" Lin Kunlun didn't think that just because he came from modern society, he could become the savior of the world like in those novels, or conquer a kingdom. All he could do now was to take one step at a time and try his best to protect the safety of himself and his family.

In this ancient society with strict hierarchy, it is impossible for an ordinary citizen to stand out with a poem or a small invention like in many time-travel novels. No matter what you invent, it will be taken away by the local tyrants and landlords in the first place.

Therefore, Lin Kunlun only hopes to be able to protect his own life and that of his family in the chaos that may follow.
