The whole family traveled through ancient times with their house

Even though Captain Xia was extremely unwilling, he couldn't change the fact that the rice grown by the Hundred Households of West Mountain was better than that grown by the Hundred Households of East Mountain.

The rice he used to grow with such pride was no match for others.

Damn, how could it turn out like this?

Captain Dong glanced at Captain Xia's drooping old face, and the joy in his heart surged up like bubbles, unable to be hidden.

He was in a good mood, but his words were infuriating. "Have you, Lord Qianhu and Captain Xia, seen enough? If so, I will ask them to come over and cut up this piece of land."

Captain Wei wasn't satisfied, but he couldn't stop them. So, he pulled Captain Dong aside to discuss things with him. "Qianli, can you see if this rice..."

"No." Before Captain Wei could finish his words, Captain Dong interrupted him. "Sir Captain, next year's rice planting at the West Mountain Hundred Households depends entirely on this rice for seeds."

Captain Wei wanted to say, why not just ask the Dongshan Hundred Households to send you some seeds?

When Captain Dong saw his eyes move, he knew what he wanted to say, so he opened his mouth and nipped his fantasy in the bud.

"The captain of the thousand households has also seen that the Dongshan Hundred Households can harvest several kilograms of rice per mu of paddy field, and we can harvest the same amount of rice per mu of paddy field."

[How many pounds?] It wasn't very harmful, but it was extremely insulting. Captain Xia wanted to curse.

Captain Wei was a little at a loss for words.

Captain Dong wasn't done yet, as he delivered another blow. "Master Captain, do you think our rice seeds are comparable? There's no comparison at all."

Captain Wei was left speechless.

Captain Xia: Dong Qianli's words are so mean, I wish I could hang him with a piece of noodles.

When Captain Dong saw that the two of them were pinching their necks and not talking, he immediately became interested.

"Master Qian Hu, may I take you to see some fancy farming methods?"

Captain Dong was still afraid that Captain Wei was concerned about their rice, so he prepared to take Captain Wei to see the corn and beans planted by Madam Jiang.

Captain Xia also wanted to know what the fancy farming method was, so he followed shamelessly. Captain Dong rolled his eyes several times but didn't let him back off.

Captain Wei was a little annoyed, thinking that Captain Dong was being disrespectful. But when he got closer to the bottom of the cliff and saw the fields of corn and beans, his expression changed from astonishment to surprise.

"Who is so talented that they can grow crops like this?"

"Of course." Captain Dong also felt proud of it.

Captain Wei was fascinated by what he saw. After getting off his mount, he strode towards the cornfield.

Captain Xia followed Captain Wei closely.

The two of them measured several corn cobs with their big hands, their faces full of disbelief.

Captain Xia even asked directly, "How come this corn cob has grown so big?"

"It's more than one foot long." Captain Dong explained to Captain Xia in a very angry manner.

Captain Xia: No one will think you are dumb if you don’t speak.

Captain Wei ignored the open and covert attacks between the two men. His eyes seemed to have hooks, and he wished he could take all the food in this area for himself.

Captain Dong: Damn it, it seems he made a mistake.

Captain Wei looked at it for a while, then put on a smile and pointed at the corn and beans and said to Captain Dong, "Qianli, these two things are quite good. Can you give me some?"

Captain Dong knew Captain Wei's character, and what he called "some" was at least half. What kind of person is this? He wants to chop everything in half.

But he knew he couldn't agree, so he told her the truth, "The fields on this side of the river are all planted by Madam Jiang, and she's not a military household."

Not being a military household meant that the Hundred Households Office could only collect half of the people's grain. Captain Wei was of course aware of this.

But he felt a little uncomfortable. If the centurion only collected half of the grain, how much grain would be left for this family?

Thinking of the remaining number, Captain Wei began to feel itchy again.

Captain Dong: He knew this old fellow was good at scheming. Scheming, but as long as he doesn't give in, it's all in vain. Humph!

Captain Wei really wanted the food, but he also knew Dong Qianli's temper; he was a stubborn donkey.

Yes, if it weren't for this stubborn donkey, he wouldn't have become a thousand-householder.

Thinking of this, Captain Wei softened his tone, "Qianli, talk to the man who farmed this land and see if he can sell us the extra grain."

"It should be possible to sell it to our Hundred Households Office."

"You~" Captain Wei was a little angry.

"Master Qianhu is also well aware that we have a shortage of food here every year."

"Yes, the lack of food is not a problem for just one hundred households."

"I know, so in the spring, I told Madam Jiang that the excess grain should be sold to our Hundred Households Office."

"Okay." The two words lingered in Wei Qianhu's mouth for a long time before he finally uttered them. "Qianli, it's difficult for me too."

Captain Dong: Even if you are in trouble, you can’t smack me.

Jiang Yan and her daughter, who were hiding in their own yard, had no idea that the crops they grew were being coveted by many people.

Captain Xia also approached Captain Dong and shamelessly discussed with him, "Qianli, could you give us a hundred kilograms of your rice seeds?"

Captain Dong didn't want to pay any attention to him, "We don't even have enough to share among ourselves."

"Just distribute the seeds between our two acres of land." At this moment, Captain Xia felt a little humble.

When the topic of the two acres of rice seeds was brought up, Captain Dong became even angrier. He gave Captain Xia a look and told him to figure it out for himself.

Captain Xia also understood that he would suffer the consequences of his own actions. But he still wanted to take a few pounds of rice seeds back home, even if it meant spending more money, as long as Captain Dong was willing to sell them to him. The rice yield was simply too attractive.

The three men were just thinking about their secrets when Zhang Xiaoqi came galloping over to report, "Master Qianhu, Master Baihu, the rice on this acre of land has been weighed out."

"How many pounds?" the three asked in unison.

Zhang Xiaoqi proudly shouted out a string of numbers, "Seven hundred and forty-five pounds and three ounces."

"Hahaha."

"Oh my God!!"

Captain Xia felt even more upset.

Captain Dong laughed freely, not caring that Captain Xia's old face was getting even more stretched, comparable to Changbai Mountain, and even had some additional branches.

Captain Xia: Dong Qianli's smile is too annoying. If anyone can knock Dong Qianli down right now, he will definitely give him ten kilograms of grain.

But this idea was just an idea after all, and he didn't dare say it out loud, otherwise he would be the one to get beaten.

In the afternoon, Captain Wei and Captain Xia, who were unwilling to give up, were finally sent away. Captain Dong then came to discuss things with Jiang Yan.

"Madam Jiang, according to regulations, our branch office is supposed to give you 742.5 jin of rice."

"Yeah." Jiang Yan nodded.

"Madam Jiang..." Captain Dong was a little embarrassed to speak. But thinking about the future of the entire captain's office, he still spoke up.
