Bring your aunt to eat big meat, the scumbag father's family is furious

Chapter 289: Food shortage? Okay, promote the second crop of rice in plastic greenhouses

This tax collection placed a heavy burden on the people. Many people's homes were looted and they could not even survive.

If it was just a few families, it would be fine and wouldn't cause any waves, but this is a large-scale phenomenon, and there are too many resentful emotions, which can easily come together.

Either rob or rebel.

Qiao Jianer felt that the latter was more likely.

When her carriage drove to the fork in the road, those people happened to be coming in that direction, a huge crowd.

She was a little alert, holding the reins tightly, and would spur her horse into a gallop if she felt anything was wrong. These people could not catch up with her.

"Today, the grain collection has reached ten miles outside Qingshui Town. Let's intercept these lackeys and take back all the grain."

"Yes, along the way, more and more villagers will join our team. When we meet those people, we will have at least a thousand of us. If they have weapons in their hands, we will grab them. We all have the same life, so who is afraid of whom?"

"Damn it! They asked for 50% of the tax, and we tolerated it as a contribution to the war effort. But now they just took 70% or 80% and lined their pockets. Since they don't want us to live, then no one should live."

They were filled with indignation.

Qiao Zhizhi was a little scared: "Jian'er, let's get out of here quickly. They all have weapons in their hands."

Chopping axes, big axes, stone axes, thick iron clubs, shovels - everything was available.

Qiao Jianer drove the carriage away silently.

These are people who have been forced into a desperate situation. They have clear goals and will not make things difficult for an ordinary person like her.

I just feel depressed when I think that there will be no peace anywhere for some time to come.

She is not in a hurry to rent out the shop yet, nor is she busy selling the ingredients, including to Boss Cai. It would be more discreet for her to go to Jishi Medical Clinic, but the restaurant would easily attract attention.

Now everything is safe and sound.

I just went to the West Street Tile Market and saw that the Ling family did not come to sell kimchi. Making money now requires courage. I wonder if those people will come back to kill me.

The carriage drove into Lingjia Village, and Qiao Jianer found that many people were busy in the fields.

They dug up the farmland that had become compacted after the autumn harvest, broke up the soil, and then diverted water into the fields.

Are we going to plant rice again?

Although the southern part of Daze State has a humid climate and long sunshine hours, it is susceptible to cold waves and frost in winter, so many places can only grow one crop of rice. In places suitable for growing two crops of rice, the winter temperature is no less than 17 or 18 degrees, which is already in the tropical range.

Now if these villagers have to plant another season, even if there is a yield, it will be pitifully low.

Qiao Lianer suddenly thought of something and looked inside the space. Yes, there were some plastic greenhouse films that could lock in temperature and increase the yield of crops.

The crops in her space actually grow out of the soil. Although there are powerful lighting and temperature control systems, they are still affected by the outside world. Therefore, the space is equipped with greenhouse films, which are in unlimited supply and cheap.

If she sold greenhouse film to these villagers, she should be able to harvest 70 to 80 kilograms per mu of land. After all, conditions are limited in winter and filling stomachs is important. This number is about right. If there are ten mu of land, it will be 700 to 800 kilograms, and more can reach 1,000 kilograms.

If there is no greenhouse, once a cold wave and frost come, there may even be no harvest at all.

She planned to go back to discuss with Zhao Lizheng and start the promotion in Datian Village.

The entire Ling family was at home. The third son of the Ling family was planing wood boards, and Mrs. Qiu was chopping pig food.

There were two medium-sized pigs in the pigpen, with their front paws resting on the fence and grunting.

Ling Yin was pickling kimchi in the kitchen.

Seeing a large carriage parked at the door, Qiu was a little surprised: "You can't get off the intersection, where did you come from?"

"We went around half a circle and came up from below. The road below is wider."

Qiao Jianer said, "Uncle, aunt, I'm here to return the food to you."

Because some villagers were peeking around, she said it was still.

If someone knew that the Ling family used this method to evade grain collection, they might report it.

The Ling family hurried out to move the food.

"I haven't made ends meet yet, I will return it to you bit by bit." Qiao Jianer said again.

The Ling family understood what she meant. The third elder Ling said, "Don't worry, there's still food at home."

When he heard Qiao Jianer say that she was going to return the grain, he was really a little worried. She returned all the grain.

By then, I'm afraid those people will make a surprise attack.

"Uncle, aunt, my family plans to propose in four days. We've chosen several wedding dates and will see which one is most suitable. Then, we'll hold the bridal party and the wedding party together."

That would be double happiness. The Ling family was very happy to hear that.

And they also know that because of the tax collection, they may not choose the nearest date for safety reasons.

Ling Lao San said, "Don't prepare too much for the betrothal gift. Just a token of appreciation will be enough. As long as Yin marries into your Qiao family and lives a peaceful and harmonious life, that is our greatest wish."

Qiao Jianer said mysteriously, "Uncle Ling, it's not up to me to decide how much to prepare."

"Hey, this is a decision for your Qiao family. You guys can do whatever you want."

The amount that the Qiao family gave out must be considerable, so the Ling family should also prepare a good dowry.

Qiao Lian'er also asked the Ling family to move all the potatoes, corn, sweet potatoes, peanuts, etc. from the carriage, one hundred pounds of each.

They also gave each of them a basket of strawberries, bananas, apples, pears, and two large watermelons.

It was a foregone conclusion that the two families would become relatives, and she was willing to do so.

The Ling family was flattered. With these ingredients, they wouldn't have to buy groceries for a long time.

"Sister Jian'er, I really don't know how to thank you." Ling Yin said with emotion.

"What's there to thank me for? I bought these from foreign businessmen and they didn't cost much. You can eat them whenever you want in the future." Qiao Jianer said generously.

Thinking of something, he teased, "Sister Ling Yin, when you come to our Qiao family, you can eat these every day."

She wanted to tell the Ling family that her eldest brother had become the leader of the soldiers, but that would take too long, and she still had to go home to discuss building a greenhouse with Zhao Lizheng.

Let’s wait until the day of the betrothal and let my eldest brother give the Ling family a surprise.

The Ling family invited Qiao Lianer to have dinner with them, but she declined and drove back in her carriage.

She looked at the temperature display in the space. It was 23 degrees Celsius. This place was in the subtropics. When winter came, even with sunshine, the temperature would only be 15 or 16 degrees Celsius. The deeper the winter, the lower the temperature.

There is food in her space, but she cannot sell it now, otherwise she might be abducted and taken to the battlefield.

Wait until those people leave and then sell it to the north through other people. This is the safest way.

Ordinary people had very little money left at home and could not afford to buy her good food, so she would not do business with them.

Ordinary plastic greenhouses can be used for three to five years, but the one in her space can be used for seven years, and it is not expensive. Villagers can buy them to grow their own crops, and they can also grow another season in the following winter. This is the most cost-effective way for them.

After returning home, Qiao Jianer went straight to find Zhao Lizheng.
