The pension plan of the ancient cannon fodder woman

The three of them didn't get up until after nine o'clock the next day. Su He ordered a table of local specialties, and the three of them ate slowly for an hour.

Su He packed up the leftover meat and prepared to eat it on the way back to the county.

Looking at the oil paper used as a packing box, Su He thought it was a really good thing. If he really escaped, the oil paper would be very useful.

It can be used to cover the carriage to keep out rain, or to cover the ground to prevent moisture. When drying food in the sun, it will be cleaner if oil paper is used as a pad.

Su He thought about this and went to the nearest grocery store to buy oil paper.

This oil paper is sold at the same price as rice paper. Su He always buys the largest size, the kind that can cover an entire carriage.

One ticket costs one tael of silver, and this is the price when Su He buys 20 tickets at once, otherwise it would be more expensive.

Su He felt distressed, let alone Shunzi and Mu Tou. Mu Tou held the oil paper like a treasure, afraid that he would break it by accident.

After buying the oil paper, Su He wandered around the grocery store again. When he saw something he could stock up on, he asked the price first. Some of them were even cheaper than in the county, so Su He started spending again.

After shopping for more than half an hour, the three finally set out back to the county.

Mu Tou and Su He were the only ones left in the carriage. Mu Tou felt that this was a good occasion and started to chant to his troublesome sister.

In order to get some peaceful sleep, Su He could only sneak over and tell him the truth.

"Sister, what should we do if there is a war?"

Mu Tou is still young after all. Although he is precocious, he still looks confused when faced with national affairs.

"It's okay. I'm already preparing. Don't tell anyone yet. Everyone is preparing for the autumn harvest. We'll tell everyone after we're done. I have something to tell you first. I'm not going to sell the grain we harvest this year."

Mu Tou nodded. He understood that they didn't want to sell the grain. He also knew the family's savings, and the family didn't lack the money from selling the grain at the moment.

"Oh, by the way, the village chief wanted to come to see you yesterday. He said that all the landlords next door, except for a newborn baby, were sentenced to death, and their property was confiscated. Now there are some good farms in Dahe Village, and the government wants to sell them. He asked if we want to buy them."

Su He shook her head. Even if there was no war, she didn't want to buy land in another village for the time being.

She doesn't really rely on the land for a living, so if she wants to buy something, she would buy from Liushu Village.

But now she doesn't want to buy land anywhere.

Let's observe for a while first. The current situation is unclear and as ordinary people, they can only wait for news from the border.

"If the village chief asks you about this again, just say that our family is not considering it for the time being. There is no need to say anything else."

Mu Tou listened and nodded seriously. After Su He finished explaining, he went back to sleep with satisfaction.

She slept soundly, not knowing that Mu Tou would sigh every few seconds when he heard that a war was going to break out. She finally had a good life, but now were they going to go back to the way things were before?

When they returned to the county, the results of the first examination for students of higher learning came out, and Mu Tou was the last one to pass.

This made Mu Tou happy. There will be a second game at the end of October.

Shunzi stayed with Mutou for one night and then went back to the village to help.

The autumn harvest in the village has begun. This time the harvest lasts longer. After harvesting the wheat and corn in the fields, everyone started harvesting the sweet potatoes in the fields without a day's rest.

No tax is required for wasteland in the first three years, so whatever you dig out is profit. Sweet potatoes can be eaten, and sweet potato leaves are even more delicious.

This batch of sweet potatoes is of good quality and the harvest from seeds is also amazing.

In the village, an acre of land that is well tended can produce 1,800 kilograms of sweet potatoes, and the worst can produce 800 kilograms.

Goudan’s grandfather bought an acre of wasteland to grow sweet potatoes, and they also planted another half acre of land around the house.

This time they harvested 2,300 kilograms of sweet potatoes. These past few nights, Grandpa Goudan slept next to the sweet potatoes with tears in his eyes. Their family of eight earned enough food for half a year. After this year is over, they can plant two crops next year, and their family will be even more well-off.

Every time he thought of this, Grandpa Goudan felt extremely at ease. He finally didn't have to worry about the five eggs at home starving to death.

After roasting dried meat for nearly a month, Su He returned to Liushu Village, and the job of roasting dried meat was handed over to Liu Niang and her son.

There was Shunzi and two tenant farmers in the village. She had harvested all the grain from her thirteen acres of land and two acres of cotton.

After Su He came back, he first paid the tax, and then distributed the rest to the two tenants and Shunzi, a total of 100% of the grain. All the products of the land were distributed. Goudan's family and Dali's family were very happy. They found a good employer this year. Not only did they have enough food, but they could also get cotton. Each of the two families got kilograms of cotton. This winter, they finally didn't have to spend the entire winter on the kang.

Shunzi was also happy. He was even richer, with 40 kilograms of cotton. This winter, he could make two sets of thick cotton-padded jackets and a thick quilt. He still had 5 kilograms of cotton left, which Shunzi gave to Wang Fugui.

Wang Fugui wanted to give Shunzi some silver but he refused. He did not forget that the cotton on his body was given by his elder brother. How could they, the peasants, have extra cotton-padded jackets? It was the ones his elder brother saved for him.

Su He still had a total of more than 4,000 kilograms of grain and more than 100 kilograms of cotton left. She kept some of the cotton to make two new cotton-padded jackets for herself, and left the old ones for Liu Niang and her son to alter and wear.

Then I bought new cotton-padded jackets for my grandparents, and my grandparents also got some. The happy grandparents went around the streets to praise their granddaughter.

Grandma: My brother-in-law stole my husband and my granddaughter

The rest was exchanged for some of the people in the village who wanted to exchange for cotton. The price of cotton has risen again this year, and it is already 360 wen per catty, a full ten wen increase.

Su He exchanged it in the village for only 260 wen per pound. Wang Sheng's family had a good harvest this year. They bought two acres of wasteland to grow sweet potatoes. The seeds they got were not enough, so Su He gave all his share away.

In October, they harvested 3300 kilograms of sweet potatoes, and he didn't spend much money on marrying a wife, so the family's savings suddenly increased a lot.

With more money at home, they felt more confident, so my uncle and his family exchanged 30 kilograms of cotton with Su He.

Su He was shocked by this generous transaction. Su He didn't want to make money from his family, so he sold it to his uncle directly at a low price of 150 wen per catty.

As for the grain, Su He was also thinking about it. She herself had not intended to sell the grain.

From what my uncle said, the villagers sell their new grain and buy some old grain to eat, and the difference they earn is their entire year's expenses.

My eldest and second uncles were also planning to do the same, but they would also save some of the new food and eat it occasionally to satisfy their cravings.

It was impossible for Su He to eat old food, but her uncle and his family all ate old food, and she felt a little embarrassed to let Liu Niang and her son eat new food.

So Su He took out the wheat and corn and asked her uncle to help exchange them for some old grains.

This year, the merchants who came to the village to buy grain also arrived early. The purchase price of wheat is 10 wen per catty, and corn is 17 wen per catty. You can sell it or exchange it for old rice. 10 catties of wheat can be exchanged for 13 catties of old rice, and catties of corn can be exchanged for catties of old rice.

No grain merchant was willing to exchange the original sweet potatoes, but after tasting the sweet potatoes and understanding the yield per mu of sweet potatoes, the grain merchant who came this time offered a high price of 7 cents per pound. You have to know that this is the price of wheat.

Now everyone in the village was overjoyed. My uncle's family, who had the largest harvest, could earn at least twenty taels of sweet potatoes if they sold all the sweet potatoes.

What does this mean? If you can save 2 taels of silver every year as my grandfather said, it will take 10 years.

Now it has been done in half a year.
