the farmer's old attack

Chapter 1

It is the time of autumn, and every household in the village is busy harvesting. Everywhere you look in this field there are people. Although the agricultural tax in the Ming Dynasty was not high, there were still many poor people. At least this time, farmers in Zhoujia Village for hundreds of miles are relying on this autumn harvest to make a living. Therefore, the villagers attach great importance to the autumn harvest, which will be the family's ration for the next year.

But in the busy Zhoujia Village, there was a remote land. Tang Qingzheng was in confusion. He was framed and suddenly traveled to this dynasty, the Ming Dynasty. However, this Ming Dynasty is not the Ming Dynasty in history, but an imaginary dynasty that has never been heard of.

There are three types of people in the Ming Dynasty here, one is women, the other is men, and there is also a character called brother. This guy looks like a man but can give birth to children just like a woman. I can't help but marvel at the wonder of the Creator. But Brother is not very popular, because there was no shortage of women in the Ming Dynasty. Under such circumstances, Brother is a little embarrassed. When there are cute and soft girls, who can look down on rough tough guys! Unless there is an issue of sexual orientation, judging from the current situation, there were still more people with heterosexual orientation in the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, brothers are not popular in this era, and their status is lower than that of women.

It turns out that he is a person who dislikes Geer very much! Speaking of which, he was quite unlucky. His family was relatively well-off, and he had read books from sages for several years. Although his knowledge was not very good, he was still a scholar. It stands to reason that such a person would have nothing to worry about, but unexpectedly an earthquake shattered everything. It happened that the village where the original person was located was close to the sea. There was a big earthquake, the mountains collapsed, and the waves swept in. Only a few people survived in the last village, and the original person was one of them.

Since the surrounding areas were affected by rice seedlings, naturally there were no relatives to take refuge. In the end, he had to seek help from the government, and the government abandoned him in this remote mountainous area. Because there were too many refugees, the land of Fuze simply could not accommodate so many people. In the end, they had to disperse in this mountainous area to rely on themselves. It would also save the refugees from gathering in crowds to cause trouble.

When the original person was assigned to Zhoujia Village, he was only given two acres of land and two taels of silver as settlement allowance. That's all, he was paired with a brother from Zhoujiacun. It is said that this guy was so tough that no one came to propose marriage until he was eighteen years old, and now that he is twenty, no one has even asked him about it. Due to the wars in the previous years, the population of the Ming Dynasty was not large. The higher authorities are vigorously promoting the issue of population, and each state and county is also evaluating its performance based on population. When the government heard that there was an unmarried brother here, it was okay, but they also heard that this brother was not good-looking, and a rash marriage would cause a lot of complaints. The appearance of the original man at the time of trouble was simply a Savior!

In short, if you want to settle down, you have to marry this guy. It doesn't matter if you don't want to, just continue to be a refugee. The original person who has always been used to living a good life cannot bear the pain of being a refugee and has no way to deal with this matter. After settling down in Zhoujiacun, I realized that my body had been injured when I was a refugee. I had been trying not to get sick before, but now that I relaxed, I became seriously ill. In addition, the original person thought of marrying an ugly brother, and this brother was three years older than him! The sadness came from the heart, and it was just a disease that made Tang Qing feel better.

Tang Qing felt that the original person was too narrow-minded. They said that an ant could live an ignoble life, but if he just married a brother, he wouldn't want to live anymore?

No matter what the original person thought, Tang Qing had to rely on his original identity to continue living. Isn't it just to marry a brother? Ma, I was born to be a crook. If the two of them can like each other, that would be the best. If they really can't live together, he won't treat each other badly.

Thinking about Tang Qing, he was also an orphan in modern times. He entered and exited society and experienced a lot of cruelty in modern society. He finally found a space and his life gradually returned to the normal track. Unexpectedly, he was jealous of others and lost his life. Fortunately, the space has long been bound to his soul, and no one else can take it away.

But the person who harmed him is probably even more depressed now. His wishful thinking is gone and he is still struggling. Moreover, he had spent his whole life in vain. You must know that he was almost forty in modern times. Now, no one would be happy to return to Green Green.

Thinking of this, Tang Qing was no longer depressed, and started working harder with the hoe. The two acres of land assigned to him were originally planted with potatoes. These things resist hunger and are not bad to eat. However, for some reason, the potato yield here is not as high as that of later generations.

Tang Qing actually didn't know much about farming. The orphanage didn't have any land and everyone didn't know how to farm. But later when he had space, he went out of his way to learn a little bit.

But the space can be operated with one click, so there really is nothing he can worry about. The space is so magical, but the things are not magical. They are not like in the novel. The cabbage is as white and flawless as jade, and the things you eat to strengthen your body are all made up.

The crops in space are no different from ordinary ones outside, except that there are fewer bugs and the maturity cycle of crops is shorter. But this also satisfied Tang Qing, at least he wouldn't starve to death. Because the crop maturity cycle was short, Tang Qing felt it was a waste. Later, he planted medicinal materials and started a medicinal materials business. Unexpectedly, he lost his life.

Since Tang Qing was not skilled in farming, he didn't work much all morning. By noon, he had only worked one-third of an acre of land. Fortunately, he was in a remote location, otherwise the elders in the village would have seen him and would have had to say a few words.

Pick the dug potatoes and put them in the basket. Once they are full, you pick them home and put them in the cellar. Tang Qing's home is not very far away, just a few steps away, so this work is not tiring at all.

Tang Qing's family was allocated the most remote area in the village, with the back of the house leaning against Dazhou Mountain. There are many wolves and ferocious beasts in the mountains, and people in the village usually don't wander around here if they have nothing to do. This happened to be an advantage for Tang Qing. He had space so that he could not be exposed. This place was remote, so it was a good shelter for him.

After picking up a few baskets of potatoes, the Temple of the Five Internal Organs started to sing a different tune. After the original person settled here, he didn't have much money left. He fell ill again and the family had no rice to cook. After doing this all morning, how can you not be hungry?

After returning home and washing his hands, Tang Qing started to make lunch and took out rice and vegetables from the space. I cooked the rice, put it in the pot, rolled up my sleeves and started pouring the vegetables. His hands kept moving, and soon a table of delicious dishes was prepared by him. A cold eggplant, a fried bean sprout with meat, a green vegetable, and a pot of egg drop soup, all smelling delicious.

"It smells so good." Tang Qing exclaimed with emotion. He was a true foodie and would never grudge his stomach. He had to eat well wherever he went, so he also developed good cooking skills.

After a full meal, we ate along the front and back of the house. He went to work in the fields with his hoe again. The sun has been very hot these two days, but no one dares to be lazy. This will delay the farming season.

After eating a full meal, he worked hard and dug out all the remaining potatoes in one afternoon. Although I was a little tired, I felt a strong sense of pride when I saw the potatoes piled in the cellar.

After working for several days, I finally got my food back. Tang Qing was also very tired. After all, he had never worked so hard in his life.

However, Tang Qing did not go to rest but was busy paying taxes in the cellar. According to the tax rate of the Ming Dynasty, he only needs to pay 20% tax per acre for these two acres of thin land. In order to prevent people from cheating and cheating, the unified output of the thin land in the Great Zhou Dynasty was 500 kilograms. If the output was not reached, you would definitely have to subsidize it yourself. If the output was high, the rest would be yours.

Tang Qing harvested more than 1,200 kilograms of potatoes from his two acres of land, leaving more than 1,000 kilograms after tax. It will take several months to eat more than 1,000 kilograms. After harvesting the potatoes, we are going to plant radishes. At least these 1,000 kilograms of potatoes will have to be eaten by the radishes.

But you can't eat potatoes for several months. Exchange potatoes for money? Yes, the recycling price of potatoes in the grain store is 1 Wen per catty. 1,000 kilograms of potatoes can be exchanged for one tael of silver, while the chestnuts in the grain store cost 10 Wen per catty! If Tang Qing was the only one eating, he would have to eat about 30 kilograms of chestnuts in a month, which would cost about one tael of silver in three months, and that's if he only eats. In addition to daily expenses such as vegetables, oil and salt, it is still a question whether this two taels of silver can last for more than three months.

But these are all luxurious calculations. Whoever has the opportunity to eat dry food every meal is made from chestnuts mixed with wild vegetables and cooked together. This saves money and food. Some poor people don't even dare to fry vegetables for fear of wasting oil. After all, oil is more expensive.

But Tang Qing didn't worry about this. He had room to survive without starving to death, but he made a rough calculation. No wonder they were poor in ancient times. The produce in this field was simply not enough to feed the family. What's more, farmers like to have more children and be blessed. If there are more people and less land, they will be even poorer. Besides, there are really not many people with a lot of land. In this village, only the village chief's family has 10 acres of land, while the others only have about 3 to 8 acres. So Zhoujiacun is poor this week.

In addition, this village is located in a mountainous area. There are few good fields and they are not contiguous. There are no landowners within a few miles. If there is a landowner with a large family, they can rent land for farming or work as long-term workers. Coupled with the land at home, life will be slightly richer, but people will be a lot more tired, but it is better than living with a dozen or so people just guarding these acres of land.

Geographical location determines destiny, but Tang Qing has no control over these matters. The most he can do is discuss them in private.

Everyone is almost busy with the work in the fields. Tang Qing, who has been here for a few days, finally walked out of his one-third of an acre of land and came to the village.

"Here comes Mr. Qing. Are you done with all the work in the fields?" the old man in the village said hello when he saw Tang Qing walking towards them.

"Hello, Uncle Zhou. I've finished my work in the fields. Why don't I come to the village to ask when the tax will be collected?" Tang Qing also replied politely. When he saw that it was Uncle Zhou (the village chief's father), He quickly stated what he wanted.

"It will only take the next two days. The government will come to collect it then. I will ask the children to notify you when it comes."

"Thank you, Uncle Zhou." Tang Qing didn't do much after learning the news he wanted. Stay and slowly go home.
