Farming and Reclaiming Wasteland, I Pampered Hou Ye In Ancient Times

Zhao Chengan's heart was stunned, they were only slightly better than the Zhenbei Army. Could it be that the food that Brother Chu sold to the Zhenbei King was cheaper?

Because there was no military salaries for half a year, their Zhao family not only took out all the food they had stored, but also emptied their wealth to buy fabrics at high prices to make clothes.

They have 500,000 people who not only have to eat but also wear clothes every day! If it can be a little cheaper.

"We are really poor, very poor." Zhao Chengan once again emphasized loudly that he was poor.

For fear that if he speaks too slowly, Brother Chu will slaughter him. He looks at the clothes of Brother Chu and his wife. No matter how they look, they don't look like a miserable exile.

There are also exiled prisoners in Zhao Cheng'an's western border. They are all squeezed by the officials of the county government to work as coolies. I don't know how sad it is!

There are young and strong people like Chu Lixuan who are picked by their Zhenxi Army into the barracks to do the hardest work, and women are the lowest soldiers in the barracks...

Chu Lixuan looked at Zhao Chengan with all his time, Chu Lixuan was very clear about his inner thoughts.

He is not in a hurry to express his position, Zhao Chengan does not have silver, but they have it in the Dingxihou Mansion!

Chu Lixuan thought that his daughter-in-law liked silver, so he would sell it to Zhao Chengan at the market price. He also wanted to sell it to the King of Zhenbei at the market price.

It's a pity that King Zhenbei is too poor, and his palace in the capital can't transfer money. King Zhenbei's family is the emperor's family.

The relationship between the royal relatives and the King of Zhenbei is average, and no one will lend him money, not to mention that the Emperor Dongchen is very poor.

"Brother Chu, tell me a price! As long as it is reasonable, we will all have the grain you produce." Zhao Chengan still wanted to negotiate the price first.

He is a character of a promise, and he can buy as much grain as he has. He said that he would have it, but he thought that Chu Lixuan and the others did not have much food!

"Wow! All of it? My God! General Zhao still said that he is very poor? Is this the rhythm of being poor?" Jiang Xinyan's surprised mouth opened wide.

Zhao Chengan snorted, mother! Lao Tzu said something wrong again. He is also a very flexible person, and he immediately made amends.

He asked more exaggeratedly: "Mrs. Chu, do you have a lot of food? I thought you were only a few hundred thousand catties at most!"

Jiang Xinyan patted her chest: "..." So General Zhao thought so! No wonder the honorifics are said.

"Hundreds of thousands of catties? How could General Zhao think so? Half a million catties is not enough for your barracks to eat for a day, right?"

"We are saving grain now. 500,000 catties are enough for one day's food. When our potatoes are not ripe, we will eat 200,000 catties of grain for one day."

"Oh! My mother! Your soldiers are so pitiful? When we sell grain to the King of Zhenbei, we sell them half a catty of potatoes and half a catty of pork for one meal per person, and sell them to them for two months at a time. food."

Zhao Chengan and the lieutenants: "..." That's a lot of money! The King of Zhenbei is indeed the King of Zhenbei, how proud! Rich people!

"Didn't King Zhenbei suffer a defeat a year ago? They still have time to pack up their property in a hurry?" Zhao Chengan was extremely surprised.

Jiang Xinyan: "That's it... No wonder, the king of Zhenbei is poor and white, and he doesn't have a single copper plate. We have been selling food to the king of Zhenbei since the Chinese New Year, and we haven't received a single penny!"

"What? He's penniless, he didn't receive a single penny, and the Marquis of Zhennan actually gave him five months of rations for free?" A lieutenant couldn't help but exclaimed.

"Who said we gave it away for nothing? We used to write an IOU, but now it's paid off, and we don't owe each other anymore." Jiang Xinyan deliberately teased them.

This is indeed a fact, the King of Zhenbei doesn't owe them money now, and I don't know if he will owe money in the future, haha~

Zhao Chengan and the lieutenants: "..." Pay off? Is it the money given by the emperor? How did they hear that the emperor even went to King Zhenbei to collect hundreds of thousands of stone grains!

"Where did King Zhenbei get the money? Does Brother Chu know?" Zhao Chengan asked anxiously, he wanted to know too much.

The emperor cannot favor one over another! Everyone is struggling to guard the border, why should our Zhenxi Army rely on our own family to support it!

"Silver? King Zhenbei doesn't have any money! He even squeezed hundreds of thousands of stone grains for His Majesty the Emperor last time! Hey! King Zhenbei is also a poor master!"

"If there is no money, what will he use to repay the debt? Did Brother Chu give them food for nothing?" Zhao Chengan was balanced, as long as the sage did not give it to the King of Zhenbei privately.

"Cut! Our husband and wife are not a charity organization, so naturally they will not give it away in vain. The King of Zhenbei sold ten counties within the territory of Youzhou Prefecture to our husband and wife.

But it's not enough, because their Zhenbei Army has to eat every day! That's why they also sold over 100,000 hectares of forest in Daling Mountain to us.

It was almost paid off, and the King of Zhenbei borrowed it again. He had no land to sell, so he sold 20,000 disabled soldiers to us to farm.

The King of Zhenbei and the others have leftover food, and they haven't had time to be happy. The so-called joy produces sorrow, which is the King of Zhenbei!

pity! The grain exchanged by the King of Zhenbei was confiscated by the old emperor, when their Zhenbei Army wanted to drink the northwest wind again.

The North Vietnamese Army was still taking advantage of the emptiness, and our husband and wife were afraid that they would be too hungry to fight the North Vietnamese Army, so we sent them food for another two months.

The King of Zhenbei was also a strong man. He was unwilling to owe debts. He said that he had no debts, so he put them against the disabled soldiers in the battle of North Vietnam.

Those who were injured were short of arms and legs, and the more than 10,000 disabled soldiers who were injured and unable to move gave them to us and the couple to pay off their debts. "

Jiang Xinyan said in an understatement that her voice was clear and sweet, and she was beautiful. People in the hall were ecstatic when they heard it, and more of a shock.

Zhao Chengan and the lieutenants were stunned! Every mouth is open enough to stuff an egg, is it okay for King Zhenbei to be so shameless?

"This...this...this...just...will it be paid off?" After a long time, Zhao Chengan stammered.

Chu Lixuan looked at Zhao Chengan, the old fox, and fought with his daughter-in-law. Originally, he thought that as long as she was happy, nothing else mattered.

Unexpectedly, the old fox and the crowd would be surprised by the teasing, Chu Lixuan looked at the little wife dotingly, with tender and affectionate eyes.

He held her small hand tightly with his big hand, and everyone else was in shock, and no one saw Chu Lixuan's small movements.

"Hey! What can we do! King Zhenbei wants to buy and sell strongly, we can only accept it passively!

Therefore, our husband and wife have a lot of food, so we reclaimed 100,000 hectares of wasteland in Daxueshan to grow potatoes.

Our husband and wife took the prisoners and disabled soldiers and worked day and night because we had no experience in farming.

The yield of potatoes in wasteland is only about 3,000 kilograms per mu, and the yield per mu of the best black land is only less than 6,000! Why! "

"What? Your worst wasteland, yields 3,000 catties per mu?" Our yield per mu is less than 1,000 catties! Still the best land!
