Chapter 673 Food Trading
After a night of rest, the Yan family was busy the next day.
Yan Laoer's conscription mission was launched in Xiaoan Village, and received an active response from the young and old in the village.
Yan Yu distributed rabbits to the Boy Scouts in the school last night. The children were very happy. They had been raised for so long. Although the rabbits were so fertile, they had eaten them collectively several times. They could take them home. Xiaoer made it clear that they could kill or sell them, and let them deal with them as they pleased. This was the first time.
Each child was given four rabbits, and they tried to have both male and female rabbits.
They were all caught from different nests, and their kinship was disrupted. In order to distribute these rabbits, Yan Yu was very painstaking.
There was also a group of small furry ones, which she also sent out. The families with daughters in the village had one or two rabbits.
The purpose was to clear out the rabbits raised in the Boy Scouts' forest.
The number dropped sharply, and the pressure on the rabbits' food rations also dropped sharply.
Li Xuemei took Xiaoyaer to Yan Yu's house, leaving their house for the grandfather and the grandfather.
Two tables were placed on the kang, and Yan Laoer and Yan Yu worked alternately.
Yan Yu reported the number of cattle, sheep and furs that were ready to be sold to Yan Laoer.
Yan Laoer showed her which villager had signed up to join the army with him.
While Yan Yu was looking at the family whose name matched, she turned her head to look at the village field map spread on the kang.
She was so exhausted from calculating.
She couldn't just do it without saying anything. She had to come up with a feasible charter, otherwise she wouldn't be able to get past the village elders.
Although Yan Laoer was picky, when it came to doing things, he would stand up and help his daughter wholeheartedly.
"The lands of each family are not too far away. Don't worry about how they form a group. Connect the lands first, and then let them contact each other. We can't know which family is good and which is not. The villagers trust us, so it's easy to talk about land exchange. I think you should let it go with the joint production method." Yan Laoer made an opinion.
Yan Yu thought about it and accepted it humbly.
"I thought it was too simple. Indeed, it depends on your temper." She exhaled and said easily: "I will listen to advice. In this way, the workload will be reduced by more than half."
She drew on the field map with great force.
Yan Laoer looked at it attentively and talked about his ideas from time to time.
The Yan family courtyard was crowded with people.
Kang Da put a table at the door of the house. He remembered almost all the names. He was more like a gatekeeper now.
He was afraid that these people would go in and disturb them rashly.
"Kang Da, go in and listen again. What's going on inside now?"
"Yes, yes, Kang Da, go and listen again."
"How to change the land? You said that you can't understand it. Otherwise, let me in and listen..."
A group of people responded and recommended themselves.
Li Xuemei stood on the periphery and coughed twice.
The men heard the noise and turned around. Seeing that it was her, they quickly made way.
Sister-in-law and younger brothers and sisters called for people.
Li Xuemei greeted them one by one with a smile and walked into the house quickly.
Kang Da made way for Dong Weng's wife at the door.
"Don't be anxious, everyone. Be patient. Dong Weng has made it clear that the land exchange for the village is to connect the scattered land of each family together for easy farming. The village is not short of animal power now. The land reclamation is tax-free for three years. During this time, the more you plant, the more you get..."
Wang Dalang: "We all know the benefits of exchanging land for one place. We are not ungrateful. We have no objection to any exchange. We are just anxious and want to know how the exchange is going. Kang Da, please move aside. I will sneak a peek. My eyes are very useful. Just one peek. Is it right?"
"Yes, let us go in and take a look!"
Clang! Clang!
Village Chief Luo hit the ground with his crutches.
"What are you all doing here? You don't have anything to do at home, do you?" He glared at everyone and scolded them rudely, "You are so proud of yourself. You have grown a bad temper by eating the emperor's food. Just listen to what I tell you. Why are you asking for information?"
A group of men didn't dare to get close to the village chief, fearing that he would suddenly raise his hand and take out his crutches to greet him. The old man was on crutches not because his legs were bad, but purely to get out of his position as the village chief. The crutches hurt people.
The big guys didn't dare to shout anymore, but they were still laughing and unwilling to leave.
Village chief Luo didn't care about them. The Yan family wanted to help the whole village exchange land. Every family knew about it. These people were sensible just to get in under the pretext of registration.
Because his house was next to the Yan family, it had now become a gathering place for the old women in the village.
The chattering was even more frightening than this, so Village Chief Luo had to come out to hide.
Not long after, Old Man Song and his friends arrived.
Kang Da wanted to invite several village elders to the main hall, but the elders waved their hands and refused to go, so they stayed in the yard.
Kang Da had to ask someone to bring out stools for them to sit on.
Rong Mama boiled two large pots of hot water and waved to him.
Then she hurried to Xiao Yaer's room.
Kang Da hurriedly poured water for everyone. The Yan family didn't have enough bowls, so these people would rather run back home to get them, but refused to leave.
Kang Da had no choice but to do his best to entertain them and wait with everyone.
When Li Xuemei came in to help, the replanned land map of Xiaoan Village had been basically completed.
She listened to them for a while and said, "How can there be so many perfections? It's enough to plan the existing land. As for reclaiming wasteland, where to reclaim land and how much to reclaim, it's impossible to calculate it now. Don't you think about it? We have enough seeds, but other people's seeds may not be enough."
"I'm afraid there are not enough grain seeds, but there are definitely vegetable seeds." Yan Yu said affirmatively.
Yan Laoer said with a smile: "Our daughter has thought of everything. Look, the cow and sheep skins have been counted out and are waiting for me to exchange with the grain merchants in the south."
He was a little proud of himself.
His daughter's analysis was right. Why did those grain merchants come all the way to Guanzhou? Just to make a fortune from grain? There was no reason for them to go back empty-handed.
The furs of Guanzhou may not be used much in the south, but they are very rare in the capital, especially this year. Guanzhou suffered a cold disaster, and the fox and raccoon fur grew thick and dense. They probably ate well in autumn and were very smooth.
Most of them died of freezing in the cold disaster, and the fur was taken off in one piece, without a single hole, which is very rare.
It must be able to sell for a high price.
Li Xuemei glanced at her daughter and thought that the child was really more and more like her uncle. This was probably the result of teaching by example.
It was not obvious whether she had learned much, but her mind was getting more and more thoughtful.
"Dad! You have to stop them, don't let any of them escape!" Yan Yu was determined to get the grain merchants from the south.
Whether she could realize her farming career depended on the grain seeds in their hands.
"I know what I'm doing. I'll find a few people who can talk to go to each village and trick the people in our militia first. Half of the recruited people will go to Huju and the other half will go to Yongning. We'll block the city gates. This grain business can't be done, and they can't leave!"
"Don't make a big fuss." Li Xuemei advised.
Compared with the current food shortage in Guanzhou, using some means to buy all the grain is nothing. She naturally knows the importance of this.
"Don't worry, I will definitely not force you to buy or sell." Yan Laoer nodded.
He understood what his wife and daughter meant.
"We also have to be careful of those big households, don't let them hoard the grain." Li Xuemei reminded.
Yan Laoer nodded repeatedly: "Yes, there is no shortage of people who want to buy grain now. Those grain merchants didn't sell because they wanted to sell at a better price. You have to be careful and don't capsize in the gutter."
