Because Jiang Ningning and the others had given money to their clan, and the hired people in their clan also asked for some money back, Grandpa Jiang Er and the others didn't plan to wait any longer.

Besides, they didn't know when the hired people in the tribe would be able to come back. Seeing that the straw huts were all built, they started buying adobe and other materials and quickly built more than 20 houses.

This way, when the hired people come back, they will have a place to stay immediately.

Although this straw hut is big, it is not big enough for so many people to live in.

However, the adobe bricks that the Xiao family was allowed to use first were not enough to build so many houses.

Brick and tile kilns sell fired bricks and tiles, which are too expensive for them. Grandpa Jiang and his family naturally would not consider buying them to build houses.

What's more, there are large-scale construction projects everywhere now, especially the rich people are buying bricks and tiles from kiln factories, and the orders are all scheduled until next year. Even if Grandpa Jiang Er and others want to buy them, they can't buy them now.

The other adobe bricks needed were purchased from people in the surrounding villages.

Naturally, there are quite a few people in the surrounding villages who make adobe bricks when they have nothing to do and keep them ready. Who would have thought that the adobe bricks they make could also be sold for money? Naturally, those that are not used now are sold to Grandpa Jiang and others.

Adobe is much cheaper than fired bricks.

Grandpa Jiang Er and his companions also built a house for Uncle Chen Qi. Uncle Chen Qi knew that they were fleeing from famine and that times were difficult. Moreover, it was winter and everyone in his Chen family was idle, so he discussed with the clan members and agreed to build the house for Grandpa Jiang Er and his companions without any wages.

There are still many good people. Many other people in Zaoshu Village heard that Grandpa Jiang Er and his team were going to build a house, so they came to help without asking for any wages.

Many people from other villages within ten miles also came to help.

The foundations of more than twenty households were packed with people.

It was just to finish building it for Grandpa Jiang Er and the others as soon as possible. After all, the weather was getting colder and colder. What good could a straw hut do? They still had to build a house.

Grandpa Jiang Er and the others' eyes naturally turned red again and they kept wiping their tears.

Fortunately, the houses were simple to build, and with so many people, even though there were more than twenty houses to be built, they were all completed in less than half a month, and an extra layer of thatch was even laid on the roof.

On October 22, Grandpa Jiang and his family moved into their new house in Zaoshu Village.

It is much warmer and more convenient than living in a shed.

During this period, Xiao Yan came back several times. In addition, Jiang Ningning specially sent someone to the yamen to tell Xiao Yan that day. Xiao Yan naturally knew that Jiang Shengcai was not his biological son.

However, Xiao Yan really didn't expect that the people from the Jiang family he met in the porridge stall were actually his wife's relatives.

If he had known earlier, he would have asked one more question.

It's just that he had too much to do at that time and was in a hurry to go back to the yamen to deal with things.

Fortunately, my future father-in-law met and recognized the clan members. Now he will no longer be sad because of Jiang Yingen and the others.

Several days ago, Grandpa Jiang and his family had already included Sun and Jiang Ningning in the family tree.

Sun has been married to Jiang Shengcai for so many years. Other people have been included in the family tree, but she has never been. Although she has never cared much about it, she is still happy from the bottom of her heart now that she can be included in the family tree.

Jiang Shengcai was naturally happy too.

In the past, even if he had two relatives, Jiang Changcai and Jiang Facai, it was as if they didn't exist. Now, he has so many relatives on his side.

Jiang Ningning didn't care about being included in the family tree, but Jiang Shengcai and Sun had no sons, only her as a daughter, and Jiang Shengcai and Sun didn't plan to adopt her. Jiang Erye and the others also heard about it, so naturally they insisted on having her name placed under Jiang Shengcai and Sun.

We cannot allow Jiang Shengcai and Sun’s descendants to be included in the family tree, there really is no one there.

Ancient people had an obsession with family tree. Jiang Ningning had noticed it before, and she sees it even more now.

Seeing that the clan wrote their daughter's name so solemnly under theirs, Jiang Shengcai and Sun were naturally happier.

The Jiang family also agreed with Jiang Ningning and the others that once the north was stable, they would move the graves of their ancestors here so that it would be convenient to worship them in the future.

Jiang Shengcai naturally wanted to worship his ancestors and biological parents, especially his biological parents. On the afternoon when he found out that he was not his biological father, he took Sun and his daughter Jiang Ningning to face north and offer a remote sacrifice.

……

The next day, October 23, the white fungus in Wufang was ready to be harvested.

Because the workshop has been expanded, the harvest of white fungus this time is much more than last time.

It weighs more than 3,500 kilograms.

Because the weather has turned cold, it is impossible to grow white fungus this year, so I stopped planting it.

Also due to weather problems, it took nearly ten days for these white fungus to dry.

These white fungus were only sold on the fourth day of November.

Just like last time, Xuanhu Clinic only bought 1,000 kilograms. The rest was bought by other clinics and a few wealthy families.

But the price given is the same, nineteen taels per catty.

Fortunately, even though there are so many white fungus, it is still very scarce for so many people in the whole Dayan, not to mention that this thing can be sold to other countries, so the price has not dropped much.

Since there was no outstanding debt, Jiang Ningning received the money immediately, a total of 67,000 taels.

Jiang Shengcai, Sun, Tian, and Xiao Fushan were all stunned. They could actually earn so much money from growing white fungus in just over a month.

On this day, the cotton purchased by Mr. Tao and his team was made into quilts and cotton clothes.

Thousands of employed people naturally became unemployed.

These people saw that those who had fled from the north were living quite well in Dengping County, which was better than living in other places. The county magistrate of Dengping County even gave them quilts and cotton clothes because of the cold weather. Naturally, most of them chose to stay and no longer fled to other places.

Fortunately, these people had earned some money in the cotton mill run by Master Tao this month. Even if the porridge was not enough to fill their stomachs, they could still spend some money to buy food in Dengping County, or buy something else.

Although their spending power is not strong, the number of people is too large. In addition to these people, there are also people who have escaped before.

Merchants in Dengping County found that although so many people had fled to their county, not only were they not unsafe, but their monthly income had also increased.

But there were not enough sheds to accommodate so many people, so Xiao Yan discussed with Mr. Tao and others and decided to let these people live in their empty warehouses.

Mr. Tao and Tao Cheng naturally agreed without saying a word. The other wealthy families also earned three or four times more money. They were all very happy now, so they naturally agreed without saying a word.

If they could no longer purchase cotton and had no raw materials, they would still want to continue running this cotton mill.

The quilts and cotton clothes made by Mr. Tao and his men were naturally supplied to Dengping County first.

Then it is supplied to other places.
