Transformed into a peasant girl, seduced men and raised children to bring prosperity to the whole fa

"Or... let's go borrow some money and pay the silver first. We'll pay it back one day," suggested Aunt Zhang.

"Who has money now? Even if they do, how can we borrow money? We already owe the Chu family a lot of money, how can we pay it back?"

Uncle Zhang knew his own limitations and knew he couldn't pay back that much money in a short time.

In this case, it would be better to just go and perform labor service.

Everyone was silent.

Aunt Zhang's heart ached, "Dad, you must take good care of yourself when you leave. We will...wait for you to come back."

"it is good."

Niu Niu was listening nearby and felt like the sky was falling.

He couldn't let his father go and die, he couldn't!

But who can save them?

As he thought about it, he soon felt hopeful.

"Niuniu? Why don't you come in now that you're here? Where's Xiaobao? Why didn't you bring him with you?"

Shen Zhi found Niu Niu standing in the yard for a long time without entering the house. He frowned and asked, "What happened again?"

Niu Niu didn't answer, but suddenly fell to his knees with a plop.

"Niu Niu! What are you doing?!" Shen Zhi was shocked.

Her voice was so loud that it instantly attracted others.

"Aunt, please, save my dad."

He kowtowed several times, "Auntie... buy me, I will work like a slave for you! I will do anything you ask me to do!"

Everyone was stunned.

"Brother Niu Niu, please get up and talk. Don't be like this. There is snow on the ground and your pants will get wet soon!" Chu Jinnian grabbed his arm and tried to pull him up.

But Niu Niu didn't move.

Shen Zhi sighed.

Chu Changfeng patted her shoulder.

The moment Niu Niu knelt down, they had already guessed the purpose of his coming here.

"Niuniu, get up quickly, auntie will help you."

Niu Niu's eyes trembled, and tears fell instantly, "Auntie..."

He cried quietly, and his crying was so pitiful.

Shen Zhi took twenty taels of silver and sent Niu Niu back with Chu Changfeng.

They borrowed ten taels of silver from the Zhang family, and then went to Shitou's house and borrowed another ten taels.

On the way back from Shitou's house, Shen Zhi couldn't help but ask: "Chu Changfeng, will you blame me for lending so much money?"

Chu Changfeng shook his head. "These are all earned by you. You can lend them to anyone."

"You and Dad have made a lot of money."

Chu Changfeng: "It's not much. You can do whatever you want with the money."

"This is the last time. If the court asks them to pay money and send people in the future, they will have to find a way themselves."

She would help as often as she could, but she couldn't afford to help every time.

"it is good."

On the day the officers and soldiers arrived, the cold wind was howling, cutting people's faces like a knife, it was extremely cold.

Almost every household in the village has someone who has left, including several women!

Everyone had red eyes and was shivering in the snow.

After handing over the people and the money, the officers and soldiers took the people away, and there was not even a sound of curse in the snow.

Everyone was completely desperate and couldn't even curse.

There was complete numbness on everyone's face.

They couldn't help but look up at the sky, blankly and stupidly.

Looking at the villagers, Chu Changfeng was a little dazed for a moment, as if he saw the civilians in the war.

Such heavy corvee labor is comparable to war, perhaps even more cruel than war.

After that day, the village became even quieter.

After all, so many people were missing, and everyone was in despair, and no one had a smile on their face.

But life must go on.

Taking advantage of this period of time when they had nothing to do, Shen Zhi and Chu Changfeng planted a lot of potatoes in the space, and picked the ripe tomatoes and stored them in the wooden house.

After planting another large piece of land, Chu Changfeng took a sip of the spiritual spring water. As he drank, he suddenly looked at a large grass next to him.

"Is this the grass that the boss gave you? What is it used for? Is it a flower?"

“It’s already this big.”

Shen Zhi came over and couldn't help feeling happy when she mentioned this.

At first she didn't know what it was, but when she pulled it up, she discovered that there were small fruits underneath!

It's a carrot!

But the carrots were very small, so she planted this many more.

Cultivate the variety first.

If you plant more carrots in the same space a few times, they will definitely grow bigger and bigger.

"It's an edible vegetable. The fruits are too small now. I'll plant a few more crops and water them with spiritual spring water. I'll eat them when they change their variety."

“Which batch is this?”

"second."

Chu Changfeng: "How about pulling it out and seeing?"

Shen Zhi was stunned for a moment, but he should be about the same size now, "Okay!"

Chu Changfeng grabbed the carrot and pulled it out.

However, the carrot that looked easy to pull did not move at all.

Chu Changfeng's eyebrows jumped and he used all his strength

Soon, the carrot was finally pulled out, but they were both shocked to see the carrot was as long as someone's calf.

Chu Changfeng swallowed his saliva, "How big is this thing?"

Shen Zhi stretched out his index finger, "That big."

He looked at her fingers and then at the heavy carrot in his hand.

Chu Changfeng looked at the potato field. The second crop of potatoes had been planted, but had not yet been harvested.

But the leaves have started to turn yellow, so it’s probably time.

"I'll dig some potatoes and see."

After a few hoe strikes, a dozen big potatoes quickly rolled out from a nest of potatoes.

The potatoes are almost twice as big as the last crop!

The two looked at each other, their hearts beating violently.

"This yield..." Chu Changfeng couldn't help but murmur, "If the people were to plant this, how amazing would the grain yield be?"

Shen Zhi held his hand and said, "This matter must not be told to anyone, and the potatoes must not be handed over to the court."

He naturally knew, "This emperor...if we give him such a high yield of grain, he will only use it to do something even more inhumane."

As production increases, taxes may increase again.

Even if you want to hand it over in the future, it is not the right time to hand it over now, and you cannot hand it over now.

Shen Zhi took a carrot, washed it, broke it in half, handed him one half, and then took a big bite herself.

Carrots are sweet and crispy, and don’t taste old at all. The sweet and crispy taste is better than many fruits.

"This... is this eaten raw?" Chu Changfeng took a bite and was pleasantly surprised. "This is really delicious."

"Carrots can be eaten raw, but they are almost always used in cooking. They can be stir-fried with meat or stewed in soup. They are both delicious."

Chu Changfeng's eyes sparkled.

Shen Zhi curled his lips and said, "Let's eat carrots and this big potato today."

The two of them took their things and left the space.

The two got up early, and time passed especially slowly in that space.

So everyone is still awake.

Shen Zhi and Chu Changfeng were busy in the kitchen.

Kneaded the dough and rolled out a stack of pancakes.

Cut the potatoes and carrots into thin strips, cut some bacon into strips, and then put them into the pan to stir-fry.

Add chili, peppercorns, salt, sauce, vinegar and a small amount of sugar, stir-fry and serve.

The fragrant bacon, carrot and potato shreds will be very delicious when rolled in a pancake.
