Dad was unhappy: "You kid had a few full meals and didn't know who you were. The government arranged for construction of rivers to start construction, which was a blessing for the people. The officials and nobles all lived in safe and worry-free places in the city, and the riverside was where our people lived. The government paid and paid for the grain, and the river was built for the people."

When the daughter-in-law saw her husband being scolded, she was having fun there.

Yang Tong quickly apologized: "Dad, I'm just talking. After the work started, our grandfather and we went together, and we had to do a lot of work."

"Hmph, you guys know each other."

"I understand, dad, let's dig potatoes quickly. The potatoes this year are so good."

A family of six people has a total of twenty acres of land. This year, the grain can be accumulated to a great extent. One acre of potatoes is now harvested, five acres of wheat, and there are also lands to plant sweet potatoes, peanuts, cotton and other crops.

Not only did the family raise horses, but they also fed six fat pigs, and they produced too much grain. This year, they could save food for three years in a bumper harvest year.

Yang Tong sighed: "I was wrong. We shouldn't have trouble first. Our own land is by the river. If we don't build the river, we will still encounter it if we have a flood."

"We can change our new house after eating and drinking, and we can have a carriage during the Chinese New Year. How good is our life."

Yangtong is a microcosm of the people around Xuzhou City. Due to the fertile land and flat terrain, farmers have developed rapidly and have solved the food problem last year. What we need to solve this year is the clothing problem. According to the plan, cotton planting reaches more than 100,000 mu, which can basically completely solve the clothing problem.

Don’t look at the acre of potatoes, which are too abundant. In a short while, eight bags were packed with more than a thousand kilograms. They caught the carriage and sent them home with their wife to save them.

On the way back, I saw people from the neighboring village growing peppers. Yang Tong was very curious: "The peppers are so spicy, just plant less, how can I plant so many?"

The people from the neighboring village were very proud: "You don't understand this, you have signed a contract with a business bank. When the peppers turn red, the government will buy bright red peppers. One acre of land can be sold for three stagnant of money."

Yang Tong almost fainted. It was only a lot of money to sell acre of sweet potatoes for a while. Why did you sell peppers so much for so much?

"That, I want to plant it too. Where can I go to sign a contract with a business?"

"In the town, if conditions permit, the business bank gives priority to taking care of the families who want to have children. This is an official business bank. I heard that it is a hot sauce factory managed by Mrs. Diao Chan, and there are hundreds of workers."

Yang Tong and his wife drove a carriage to the side of the road. The couple's older child was able to shed sheep sheep at the age of ten, and the second child could take care of himself at the age of seven.

In the past few years, I didn’t dare to have a room for several years because I had no food and no food. Now that the food is in stock, I have no worries.

"Wife, why don't we have another baby? If we can grow a few acres of chili, we can pay the horse's money."

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

Women are in a low position these days, so what their husbands say will listen to.

The couple drove a carriage to the town. Sure enough, the people from the business were promoting it.

"How did you do this?" Yang Tong was a little confused. After all, he rarely read.

"It's very simple. You can sort out the good land that depends on water. We provide you with chili seedlings, and then harvest them when the peppers turn red. A cent of three kilograms of fresh chili is only needed to be delivered to the town. We buy it for a deposit. The yield per acre is about 7,000 kilograms. If you are willing to plant it, just make a contract. You can't sell chili to other businesses, after all, seedlings are provided to you for free."

"Okay, I'll decide."

Yang Tong only ordered one acre. When he wanted to make more reservations, the company disagreed and said that picking this pepper was quite time-consuming.

Moreover, the business bank said that it should take care of more families and let everyone make some money.

On the way back, I saw people from the government pulling ropes to measure the river. It seemed that the construction was very fast.

With the stability of Xuzhou, roads, bridges, rivers, etc. have been repaired a lot.

Why are there so many floods in these years? The primary reason is that the population is sparse. There are so many counties under the jurisdiction of Xuzhou, and there are only about three million people in such a large area.

Specifically, there are only a few hundred thousand people in a county and only a few tens of thousands of people.

The government recruits civilians to repair the river every year, but the rivers are washed every year.

This forms a circle, every winter and spring, summer and autumn, and often come and go, and rarely comes once and for all. At this time, a carriage passes by and follows several knights guards.

A maroon horse followed next to it was very conspicuous.

Officials of Xuzhou, both civil officials and generals, ride horses, and those who really can't ride horses are rarely riding a mule or an iron horse.

The person sitting in the car was not someone else, but Lu Bu and Diao Chan came out to check the pepper planting situation.

The chili sauce and chopped pepper sauce in Xuzhou are very popular. Many poor places in the north like chopped pepper sauce.

However, this thing is a small profit but quick turnover. Except for a small amount of high-end hot sauce, the price of ordinary chopped pepper sauce is very low, and it all depends on volume to make money.

The reason I came out on a carriage was because Diao Chan was pregnant, and she was six months old.

Originally, Lu Bu arranged for Diao Chan to rest at home, but Diao Chan disagreed and insisted on going out to check the pepper planting to cheer up the employees of the business.

The concubine Xiang Yan rested when she became pregnant and arranged for others to be in charge of the canned shop, but Diao Chan did not dare.

Diao Chan has a miserable life and sold it to Wang Situ since childhood to be a singer, and she is lonely and lonely.

Later, he became a spy, separated from Lu Bu and Dong Zhuo, and became Lu Bu's concubine.

Although he is the third wife now, he has no family background.

The eldest wife, Yan's wife, is a famous lady, and the second wife, Cao, is from a prominent family. Her brother and younger brother are all high-ranking generals. Even Xiang Yan's concubine's family is a wealthy family, with support from her mother's family. Diao Chan has no mother's family and faces huge challenges. If she cannot have a son or half of her daughter, she will probably end up in a very miserable way when she gets old and loses her lust.

The hard work is fulfilled, and finally got pregnant. However, Diao Chan had no family support, so she needed to do a better job in the hot sauce factory.

Today, Lu Bu came to see her specially, so she took Lu Bu out to check the pepper planting.

When we arrived at the local area, there were more than 100 acres of planted in this village, which were planted by each household.

Planting in Qilong, more than 3,000 trees were planted per mu, and many people were busy in the fields. Seedlings, watering, and burying soil.

The elderly and children all go into battle. In the countryside, farmers have no idea of ​​retirement. As long as they don’t die or move, they have to work. Although it is cruel, this is life.

Lu Bu and Diao Chan got off the carriage and inspected and guided the pepper planting on the ground.

A sharp-eyed farmer recognized Lu Bu and Diao Chan at a glance, and hurriedly greeted everyone: "Mr. Lu and the third wife are here to come to see us."

"Mr. Lu brought us so much good food to everyone for dinner, and everyone kowtowed to Mr. Lu."
