After farming, I opened a family tree

Wang refused without even thinking about it.

"I just ate a few small fish fry, why does it cost five taels of silver?"

Before the village head could speak, Shen Mancang had already spoken.

"You trampled on the rice seedlings in my two mu of land. It's already past the season. I can say that I didn't get any harvest from these two mu of land. Shouldn't this be blamed on you?"

The yield per mu in Da Qi is about 300 jin, and two mu of land can produce 600 jin. The market price of old grain is ten cents per jin. Five taels of silver was given to him because Shen Wen took the initiative to admit his mistake, and there were still a few unspoiled grains in the paddy field that could be salvaged.

"If you don't want to pay me in silver, that's fine. After the harvest, you can compensate me with four or five hundred kilograms of grain."

Everyone nodded after hearing this, it made sense.

How could it be possible to give four or five hundred kilograms of food?

It’s new food!

"That's it. Either five taels of silver or grain. Your family can choose whichever you want. If you refuse again, I will add another Hui law."

According to the Shen family rules, stealing will result in punishment by beating.

Perhaps thinking of the thorny bramble hitting their backs and the feeling of the barbs digging into their skin, Shen Dahe and his wife couldn't help but shudder.

He had no choice but to accept the five taels of silver.

Only this time, the villagers' reputation towards the second branch of the Shen family became even worse, but Shen Wen's reputation inexplicably improved in the village.

"Xu~"

Two carriages slowly stopped at the entrance of the village.

It turned out to be Fisherman Li who came to deliver fish.

“I have already brought the remaining fry.

Shen Tang immediately organized people to register and distribute the remaining fish fry.

Accompanying them was a middle-aged man of similar age.

After receiving the fish, each household went in groups to the paddy fields to release the fish fry.

The middle-aged man looked at the villagers of Shenjia Village pouring fish fry into the paddy fields with a look of surprise.

This man was none other than Li Liu, the head of the village where Li Yuhu lived.

Yesterday, after returning home, Fisherman Li told the village head about the fish farming in the rice fields of Shenjia Village.

The other party didn't believe it at all, so he came here with Li Yuhu today.

The person who was most happy after knowing the other party's identity and purpose was Shen Lizheng.

I didn’t expect that the rice field fish farming plan of our village has spread to the next town.

He personally took Li Liu to watch the villagers release fish into the rice fields.

Eighty percent of the villagers in Shenjia Village are willing to raise fish in rice fields. Some of them were released yesterday, but some of the remaining villagers have not yet released the fish.

Seeing the confusion on Li Liu's face, Shen Lizheng's smile deepened, and there was a hint of complacency in his tone.

"In our village, everyone has the same roots and clan, so if there's something going on in the clan, basically the whole village will get involved."

"Although raising fish in rice fields has never happened before, it will be a promising future for future generations in the village."

"It's the Shen Tang family who bought the fish fry. They said that if this method doesn't work and everyone's harvest is poor, they are willing to cover the cost for the villagers."

Shen Lizheng was beaming with joy as he spoke.

After hearing this, Li Liu's eyes were full of envy, and Shen Lizheng was even more proud.

In a family, as long as there is one family that has a promising future, the family can continue to grow and prosper.

"Look, there's a workshop at the end of our village. It's also hers."

"Now, all the women in the village work there and earn quite a bit of money every month."

Li Liu was even more envious after hearing this, and seemed to have thought of something.

"I see that the Shen Tang family you mentioned are all girls who are in charge. Don't they have any boys in the family?"

Shen Lizheng seemed not to have expected the other party to ask this, and paused for a moment.

"After giving birth to Shen Tang, the Dashan family's health has not been very good."

"But it doesn't matter if there's no male offspring. My niece is incredibly resourceful and capable, far surpassing any other man."

The fact that Shen Dashan had no children was indeed a matter of concern for him and the elders in his clan.

But one thing is for sure, but when outsiders say something, we naturally have to defend it.

After hearing Li Zheng Shen say that Shen Tang's family had no male heirs, Li Liu's attitude finally changed a little.

"What can a girl know? The work in the fields is always understood by the men."

"Shen Lizheng, you are being a bit too bold."

"It's getting late, and Fisherman Li has sold all his fish, so I'm leaving now."

"Anyway, I hope this method can really be useful in your village."

Shen Lizheng understood the meaning of his words and his attitude immediately turned cold.

Watching Li Liu and Li Yuhu walk away, Shen Lizheng snorted coldly.

Fortunately, Shen Tang said it. If other villages asked, they should just tell them directly.

Li Liu naturally didn't know that it was because of his prejudice that he regretted it during the autumn harvest.

At dusk, white smoke rose with the wind and gradually dissipated from the sky above Shenjia Village.

Many children were still lingering on the ridges of the fields, refusing to go home, counting the fish in their paddy fields.

Therefore, Shen Tang also gave the village head a suggestion.

Since the children have nothing to do at home, it is better to organize them to patrol the fields during the day.

Because of the incident of Shen Dahe stealing fish, the village head was very supportive of this method.

Shen Tang specially asked someone to buy some candy, and the children could come to the workshop door to get a candy after finishing their patrol.

Sugar is a precious thing, and many families may not be able to eat it once a year.

Many women in families work in workshops, and it is rough for men to take care of children.

In this way, the children have something to do and candy to eat, and there is no need to worry about anything happening when they are together, so the family can feel at ease.

After the busy farming season, everyone returned to their normal lives.

The men planted some seasonal vegetables on the vacant land, while the women were busy in the workshop.

Shen Tang and his friends also returned to their morning study routine.

In the school, there were only a few people who were willing to study. This period was a busy farming holiday, and they were having fun and had not yet recovered.

What Master Li saw was the students lying on the table with a listless look on their faces.

"As I said last time, there will be an exam in a month, which happens to be during the holiday."

"Since we're all back today, let's take the exam today."

As soon as Master Li finished speaking, there was a cry of grief in the school.

Shen Tang couldn't help but sigh that no matter where you go, taking exams is never a happy thing.

Mr. Li's family didn't have much farm work to do, and the people in Lijia Village also helped out, so he was free at home during this period and wrote a set of papers.

When Shen Tang got the test paper, he found that it was not difficult at all. As long as he memorized it more, there would be no problem.

Although he had only been practicing calligraphy for a short time, only a few months, Shen Tang's handwriting was already much better than when he started.

The test paper was easy for Shen Tang. After finishing the test, he was the first to stand up and hand in the paper, which attracted the attention of others.

When Shen Tang walked outside to wait for people, he saw that many people were biting their pens.

Master Li was also surprised when he got the paper. After all, Shen Tang and the others were just beginning to learn to read, but he didn't expect that Shen Tang had filled it all up.

After reading Shen Tang's answer, I felt even more sorry that Shen Tang was a girl.
