Survive through the ancient apocalypse

Early the next morning, Ye Mingze and Jiang Jingzhi brought gifts and went to visit the supervisor who supervised the exiles here.Exiles, all adult men and women who have committed crimes themselves will be assigned a field, and they must work and pay taxes by themselves or their family members.After all, he is a prisoner, how can he be punished as a free person?

The supervisor of Beimo Village is surnamed Zhou, and his ancestors are all locals.He has worked in this position for more than ten years, and he will continue to work in the future.Yesterday he learned from other villagers that someone from Jiang's family came to visit, which is quite unusual.In the matter of exile, all southerners are exiled to the north, and northerners are exiled to the south. The sky is high and the road is far away. He has been in this industry for more than ten years, and today he has opened his eyes.

Hearing the knock on the door of "Du Du", Zhou Xiaoli answered the door and saw that it was a stranger, presumably it was the group who just arrived yesterday.Seeing a mighty dozen or so people enter the gate of their own courtyard, at least half of them are powerful at first glance.He was taken aback, and those who didn't know thought they were here to make trouble.

Zhou Xiaoli made up his mind: "Who are you?"

"Uncle Jiang is my father-in-law. You are in charge of this area. Come and pay a visit." Ye Mingze directly explained the purpose of his visit, and signaled his servants to bring gifts.

"It's so embarrassing!" Zhou Xiaoli said with embarrassment, but he answered it quickly.He was embarrassed to look through them face to face, so he glanced out of the corner of his eye, only to see that some of them were salted fish that he had never seen before.He suddenly had a calculation in his mind.

"You usually take care of one or two. This is what you should accept. You might as well accept it if you are a little bit careful." Ye Mingze didn't play tricks, and directly hit a straight ball.

Xiaoli Zhou naturally understood that since he had accepted the gift, it would not take much trouble for him to help out when disputes arise.Besides, it seems that this person is not easy to mess with. In the future, he will not care about the affairs of the Jiang family, which can be turned a blind eye.

Both parties were tacit, and after reaching an agreement, Zhou Xiaoli sent Ye Mingze and his party away with a smile on his face.

"Yesterday, I heard that they brought five carriages. They must have brought a lot of things, so you just take this little?" Zhou Xiaoli's wife thought they were too stingy.His family in Beimo Village was not much different from the Tu Emperor, how could they have the nerve to give this little gift?

"A woman's opinion. Don't look at the few things. They may not cost much in the place of production, but they are worth a lot here!" Zhou Xiaoli poured all the gifts on the table, and found that there were tea, candied fruit, white flour, and A piece of muslin ruler, those fish that don't recognize should be sea fish.How could they be willing to buy and use these things?Since Jiang's family came here, their life has been much easier: "Besides, didn't you see a lot of people who were hula-la just now? They are not easy to mess with at first glance, so why not make a good relationship, hello, hello, everyone good."

"Okay, head of the house, since you said yes, then it's fine, I never listened to you." The woman was also very obedient.

Coming out of Xiaoli Zhou's house, Ye Mingze and his party went to the agreed place, where his father-in-law and mother-in-law were waiting.It was already the beginning of October, and the snow fell early here, so they could only stay in Beimo Village for a day or two.Otherwise, when the mountain is blocked by heavy snow and they are trapped here, things will be complicated.

Taking advantage of these two days, the people brought by Ye Mingze helped to do more work, so that the father-in-law and mother-in-law could relax.

On the hard black soil, the crops are not dense.There are a lot of acres per capita here, mainly due to the low yield per mu, so we can only cultivate more fields.The south is intensive farming, but here it is extensive, and one person can cultivate a lot of fields.

The crops planted here are all short-growing crops, which are basically harvested at this time in previous years, but this year some are still immature, but it seems that it is coming soon.

Jiang's father didn't pay attention at first, but only after listening to his eldest son last night, he noticed that the yield per mu has also decreased.The main reason is that the yield per mu is not high, and it has not been reduced much. It is really not easy to find if you don’t pay attention to it.

A dozen or so people had been busy all day, harvesting the remaining crops that were ripe for harvest.After staying for another day, Jiang Jingzhi resolutely left under the reluctant eyes of his family.I don't know when we will meet again.

Seeing Ye Mingze and his party disappear in the village, Mother Jiang's family felt quite uncomfortable.Especially the three younger siblings of Jiang Jingzhi, who grew up under the protection of their elder brother, once encountered disasters, and the elder brother stayed away for some reason, so it was hard to mention.We've only been together for two days, and we're leaving again, and we'll see each other again indefinitely, the eyes of the youngest Jiang Jinghe are red.

Before leaving, Jiang Jingzhi left 30 taels of silver for his parents, and it should be enough for his younger brother to take care of his illness.No matter how much he can't take out now.

Ye Mingze has already made a lot of money. In just over a year, he has earned several thousand taels, but it is still a drop in the bucket, and the money is always not enough to spend.This time it was even more so, the two of them were only worth fifty taels.The rest of the money is responsible for accommodation and food along the way, and it must be prepared in case someone gets sick on the way.Can no longer be used.

It was several degrees below zero when we came out of Beimo Village, but the temperature rose instead of falling all the way back.By the time we arrived at Yejia Village, the temperature had risen to about five degrees.

When Ye Mingze and his party arrived home, the autumn harvest was not over yet.Some that can only be harvested in October have not yet matured.Hope to finish the autumn harvest before it snows.

There are many Ye family members, but there are few fields to take care of.The 58 acres of land are well taken care of.Except for corn and rice, all have been harvested.The corn and rice are about to mature, but Ye Mingze doesn't worry about it.What he needs to care about is the nearly [-] acres of wasteland that has been reclaimed before mid-June.

Those planted before the end of May have already been harvested, and there are still more than 100 mu that are not yet mature.The barren land only harvested nearly [-] catties per mu. In Ye Mingze's opinion, this output was already low enough. Unexpectedly, Ye's father said that it is extremely rare for barren land to have so much harvest in the first year, let alone the situation of reduced production this year. Down.

Nearly [-] mu of land reclaimed from mid-June to the end of July were planted with vegetables, mainly Chinese cabbage and radishes.After August, the fields reclaimed are only sprinkled with various vegetable and forage seeds with strong cold resistance.After that, I didn't care about them and let them grow freely.Whether it can grow up or not depends entirely on God's favor.

After entering October, the production of candied fruit began to gradually decrease, and by the end of October, it had completely stopped.In October, the income from candied fruit was less than half of the monthly income in the previous three months, only earning more than 250 taels.For the shy Ye Mingze, it was a lot of money.

Ye Mingze added the money he earned from fishing, scraped together 300 taels, and bought 50.00 catties of grain. Of course, he sent people to take turns to buy in different grain stores in batches.Food prices have risen again this year.The autumn harvest is just over, and the coarse grains per catty have increased by half a penny compared to last year.Over the past two years, the price increase of coarse grains has reached [-]%.If it continues to rise like this next year, it will be impossible to survive this day.

The northern part of the Daxing Dynasty is not bad, but in other places, where the disaster has been severely affected, there has been a wave of fleeing famine.Neighboring counties and towns are under great pressure.For the time being, there is no □□□. If it is still like this next year, then the Daxing Dynasty will really be in chaos.

The money he just received was spent in a blink of an eye. Ye Mingze had never felt so short of money in modern times. After arriving in the Daxing Dynasty, he experienced this feeling every moment, which is really dumbfounding.

At this time in previous years, there are many foreign merchants who come to collect marine fish.Although there are many people this year, it is a little less than last year.It seems that the disaster in other places has affected Yangshan County.There are fewer merchants, one is that the consumption power of the common people has declined, and the other is that it is unsafe to travel.

Next year's business will not be easy, and money will have to be carefully calculated in the future.Fortunately, there is no need to buy people for the time being, and the biggest expense is gone, so I shouldn't be so short of money in the future.

At the end of October, the autumn harvest officially ends.Those who are immature probably will never have another chance.

Ye Mingze's family harvested nearly 500 catties of grain this year, counting the 10,000 catties they just bought and the remaining nearly [-] catties. If [-] people eat until next year's autumn harvest, there will be at least [-]+ catties short.The food gap is a bit big, which is really worrying.

A few days ago, the people of Yejia Village went to the back of the mountain to cut firewood and encountered a wild dog.There were many people at that time, and the jackals were quickly killed.Those people are still very happy.

Ye Mingze thought more about it. There were basically no such monsters at the back of the mountain, but this year there were jackals acting in groups. This is not a good sign.It's okay for him to be idle during this period of time, so he might as well take people into the mountains to hunt.One and a half years into the Daxing Dynasty, he hadn't even hunted yet, and he felt quite admirable about himself.

Picking a sunny and sunny day, Ye Mingze and Jiang Jingzhi led more than a dozen pairs of sentinel guides to the Ziqing Mountains.Each is equipped with a bow, a machete and a dagger that is worn close to the body.The group first walked around the back mountain, trying to nip the crisis in its infancy.

Sure enough, as Ye Mingze expected, there were more than a dozen jackals wandering around the hills near the back mountain, and everyone was merciless in their actions.Jackals are scavengers, and their appearance does not meet Ye Mingze's aesthetics. He doesn't really want it, but he feels that it is a waste.This place is very close to the back mountain. Ye Mingze found a villager, paid the price of a jackal, and asked him to call the servants of the Ye family to carry it.

The animals encountered at the beginning were relatively easy to hunt, but as the mountain got deeper and deeper, the prey became more and more difficult to deal with.Near the Ziqing Mountains, they encountered a wild boar, which was very fast.At the beginning, everyone was a little careless and almost hit by it.Not only is it fast, but it is also very powerful. When it crashes down, trees as small as bowls fall down one by one.

Guides are the objects of protection. In such a situation, they can only fall behind the sentries. Apart from blessing the sentries, they try their best to protect themselves.After all, there are so many people, the wild boars are quickly dealt with.

Afterwards, everyone couldn't help but feel lingering fear.This wild boar is much faster than the guide. If it was the guide who was hit at the beginning, it is probably bloody now.I can't relax for a moment!
