Chapter 425 Anniversary
Compared to the people in Liaodong County who chose to eat the vegetables they grew every now and then, the people in the other three counties of Pingzhou were reluctant to eat them themselves.
They all knew that in the winter, these vegetables would definitely sell well.
But the people in Liaodong County heard that eating more vegetables can supplement the body's nutrition, is good for the development of children, and is also good for the elderly. In addition, there are not many vegetables grown, so they just eat them.
The people in the other three counties only wanted to sell these vegetables, get silver and buy more food, so as not to starve.
In just one year, the living standards of the people in Liaodong County and Liaoxi County have opened up a gap.
Liaoxi County and Youbeiping County are adjacent, and the people on the border of Liaoxi County choose to sell their vegetables to their neighbors.
On a snowy day, the village chiefs of many villages were worried that the villagers would get into trouble when they went out like this, so they reported the situation to the government.
After Lu Songli and others knew about it, they decided to purchase them uniformly and then sell them uniformly.
Each village arranged the day to harvest vegetables.
On the appointed day, the villagers sent the vegetables to be sold to the village chief. Every morning, the people from the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce went directly to the village chief's house to collect the vegetables.
Therefore, every village was very lively when it was time to collect vegetables.
"You cut so many leeks?"
"Not much, just two kilograms. Your scallions are well grown, tender and juicy."
"Not bad, not bad, the old woman at home takes good care of them."
"Oh, uncle, your green bean seedlings are really well grown, they look pleasing to the eye, and they will definitely sell for a good price."
"I hope so." The old man mentioned grinned.
"I heard that the people in Liaodong County don't sell the vegetables they grow."
"Not selling? Do you eat them all yourself?"
"Yes, I eat them all myself."
Everyone who heard it shook their heads. The current price of vegetables is two or three times higher than usual, and they can't bear to eat them themselves.
Someone else said, "During the New Year, we will also cut a pound of leeks and make dumplings. We have cheap eggs that we bought at the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce Grain and Oil Store."
"That's great, we should be open-minded. After all, it's different in Liaodong County, and their lives are much better than ours."
In fact, they can't sell vegetables very often, and only a house with a kang can support the vegetables.
They are poor in Liaoxi County. With the help of the government, most people can only build a kang, so the number of vegetables they can raise is small. In addition, it is winter now, and even if the vegetables are raised in the house with a kang, they will grow slowly.
"In the past, the living standards of the people in our two counties were similar."
"Don't be discouraged, Liaodong County was lucky before. The first place where Lord Lu was sent out was Liaodong County, helping the people there to live a better life. Now Lord Lu has become the governor. Under his leadership, if we work harder, we will definitely be able to live better like Liaodong County."
"That's right. Isn't it thanks to him that we can sell vegetables now?"
Everyone present nodded involuntarily. Who would have thought that they could still make money in the winter? The key is that it's not hard to make money. It just costs a little firewood.
"By the way, Lord Lu will move to the governor's mansion next year, right?"
"Yes, I heard that he will move into the governor's mansion after the beginning of the year."
"That's great."
Just as they were chatting, the village chief's family had already prepared the work of harvesting vegetables, and then opened the door of the main room.
"Start harvesting vegetables, everyone line up!"
Jintaizhuang Military Region
Qin Sheng, who had returned from training, walked slowly towards the barracks.
He had just entered his barracks, and soon came out again, and went to the next door, "Brother, are you looking for me?"
"Tired?" Qin Heng saw that his movements were not as agile as before.
Qin Sheng pulled out the chair in front of him and sat down, "Not bad." Today, the group of animals actually united to play a round-robin game with him, and he beat them one by one. But after beating them, his hands were shaking a little.
"Thank you for your hard work." Qin Heng knew that he had worked hard to train the soldiers recently.
To be honest, the soldiers under Xiaoliu's command can really be called arrogant and brave, and it is difficult for ordinary generals to subdue them.
He sent the last batch of people this time. There are only 3,000 people in Jintai Village at present, but all of them are the best of the best. But it is hard to say how many people will be left after the training.
The two brothers discussed the training for a while.
The horn sounded, and the sound of soldiers screaming and rushing to the cafeteria came from outside.
Qin Sheng touched his belly, "Brother, let's go eat first?"
Qin Heng: "Okay, after dinner, I'll go back to Houcheng."
Houcheng, he wanted to go back too. Qin Sheng stood up and wanted to go out.
"Ah Sheng--" Qin Heng called him.
When Qin Sheng turned around, Qin Heng handed him a tightly wrapped book, "This is for you, take a look in private."
Qin Sheng took it and was about to open it, but was stopped by his elder brother.
"Brother?"
Qin Heng frowned, "Open it when you are alone."
"Oh, then I'll put it away first."
Qin Heng sighed. If his father was still here, this matter should be said by his father. Now that his father is not here, the eldest brother is like a father, so he, the eldest brother, has to do it.
When Qin Sheng came out of the room, the tip of his ears was red.
Qin Heng pretended not to see it, "Let's go, let's go eat."
"Yes."
"By the way, don't forget to go home on the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month." Qin Heng instructed.
"Yes."
The twenty-four solar terms say that in autumn, there are dew and frost, and in winter, there are snow and cold.
After the Great Cold, the weather is getting colder and colder, and the New Year atmosphere is getting stronger.
The fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month is the memorial day of General Qin Yue.
His body is still buried in the northern border. When there is a chance in the future, he will find another place with good Feng Shui to bury it.
The anniversary of the father's death is commonly known as Xiaoxiang. After the sacrifice, they can improve their mourning life and remove part of the mourning clothes. After the two-year anniversary, that is, the Great Xiang, they can return to normal.
The Qin family prepared some offerings and the whole family gathered.
While burning paper, Qin Heng told him the news that the Qin family was safe and asked him not to worry about his family.
Finally, everyone bowed to the west in the yard, expressing their longing for each other from afar.
They had just finished the worship when a strong wind blew and blew the snow off the branches, as if someone was responding to something silently.
