LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 86 Yuanchu 1 is ready to be stupid again
Wang Shuying was still dubious after hearing Matchmaker Wang's words, "Is this really the case?"
These days, she also noticed that something was wrong with her younger son. She was busy taking care of him, but she really neglected her eldest daughter's marriage. She only hoped that the son-in-law she had met was really as talented as Matchmaker Wang said. good. Seeing Li Xiaoman yelling again, she had no choice but to carry her son to the back.
But Matchmaker Wang was praying in her heart that the auspicious time would come soon. As long as the bride got on the sedan chair, it would be done. Time passed slowly, and finally came to an auspicious moment in her ordeal. The bride covered her head and asked her brother Li Xin to carry her into the sedan chair amidst the sound of firecrackers, and then carried her to the wedding amid the sound of gongs and drums. To Yuanjiawan.
On the first day of the Yuan Dynasty, he stood at the door of the inn and looked at the vast welcoming and farewell teams. He felt a little sad in his heart, hoping that the girl from the Li family would be treated well by the Yuan family after she got married.
She saw Zhang Xiujuan in the procession, and Zhang Xiujuan was looking back at her. She hadn't seen Zhang Xiujuan for a long time, and she didn't know what Zhang Xiujuan was busy with.
Zhang Xiujuan did not expect to see Yuan Chuyi when she went out this time. She happily waved to Yuan Chuyi from a distance. When she saw Yuan Chuyi also waved to her, she was pushed forward by the person who sent her relatives. .
On the first day of the Yuan Dynasty, he looked at Zhang Xiujuan's back and thought that Wang Guifen had said long ago that he would find a good husband for her, but he didn't know what kind of family he found. She hoped that Wang Guifen would not be as confused as Wang Shuying, who promised her daughter to the man without even seeing him in person.
"Madam, Xuan Ying heard news these days that the Yuan family has been looking for someone to buy their land. They seem to want to sell all the properties here and then move to the capital together." Yue said.
A smile appeared on Yuan Chuyi's lips, "Are all the Yuan family members going?"
"It is said that except for a few elders and a few side branches, everyone else is going!"
Yuan Chuyi sneered, "This is simply child's play! It's a long way to go to the capital, and there are so many of them, old and young, and the money they got from selling those fields will probably be spent before they even make it halfway! Alas, since they want to die, we might as well Help them!"
"What do you mean, ma'am?"
Yuan Chu smiled and said, "They are anxious to sell the land, but no one is willing to buy it in this situation!"
Xuan Yue nodded without hesitation, "The normal price of land in Yaxing used to be from two to five hundred to three to five hundred cents per acre. Now the sign posted is only one tael per acre, but no one cares about it!"
Xuan Yue told Yuan Chuyi that the land the Yuan family wanted to sell were two farms with five hectares of land each. The two farms were public lands purchased by Yuan Wenjing for the family before, and the income would be distributed to the family at the end of the year. people. This is also one of the sources of income that has enabled the Yuan family to live comfortably in recent years.
Now they want to sell these lands, use the money from the land sales to go to the capital to join Yuan Wenjing, and start a new life!
On the first day of the Yuan Dynasty, I didn't expect that Yuan Wenyuan would make such a decision and sell the clan land. It seemed that the Yuan family was really going to decline.
"How much do they want to sell these two farms?"
"Two thousand taels for both farms! But no one even asked!"
"Only a fool would buy it at a time like this!" Yun Xuan said.
A smile appeared on Yuan Chuyi's lips, "Then let me, madam, be the fool!"
"Ah!" Xuan Yue and Yun Xuan were stunned, "Madam, you want to spend money to buy these two farms?"
"You're not really stupid, are you!" Yun Xuan cried out.
An evil smile appeared on Yuan Chuyi's face, "Of course I won't buy it now. Let's wait until the weather becomes drier and the Yuan family becomes more anxious. Then we can help them!"
In the following days, the weather became increasingly dry, and fewer and fewer merchants went to the border. There was almost no business at Yuanchuyi Inn. The entire fields in Yizhou Prefecture, except for those whose fields have dug ponds to store water, are still green, most of the fields are withered and yellow when you look at them.
The price of grain in Yizhou Prefecture has risen from fifteen cents per catty in early March to forty-five cents per catty. Seeing this situation, He Yutang asked counties to open warehouses and release the first batch of official grain in early April. This caused the price of rice to fall back to 30 cents per catty. But there are still many people who cannot afford to buy food and dig wild vegetables everywhere to satisfy their hunger.
Xishan Village still has well water, but many villagers in the village did not collect grain as the village chief said before. Now they can only dig wild vegetables at the foot of Xishan Mountain to satisfy their hunger. There are no grass roots at the foot of the already withered mountain. Even the rolling green western mountains are now desolate.
At the foot of Beishan, there are several houses that grow mulberry leaves in the ground. They are still green and can still raise silkworms normally. However, several houses have become yellow due to lack of water because they are too lazy to dig ponds to store water. There is no hope for those paddy fields. They are all dry and cracked. There is no way to plant rice this year.
Fortunately, many families in their village followed Yuan Chuyi's advice at the beginning of the year, took some corn seeds from her, and planted them in the dry land created from wasteland. After being poured with some water, they are now growing vigorously. Good, it has bloomed and grown some buds. This makes the entire Xishan Villa not as dry and desolate as other villages, but also full of vitality.
On the first day of the Yuan Dynasty, she saw that the weather was getting more and more dry. She asked Xuan Yue to patrol the village every day. She was worried that some nearby villagers would come to the village to grab water due to lack of water, and they might even enter the village to grab food. But the five brothers alone may not be able to cope with it. She and Zhang Yongfu discussed whether they could mobilize the villagers to patrol together, so that if there were really bad guys coming into the village, they could deal with it together.
Zhang Yongfu was very foresight on the first day of the Yuan Dynasty, and told the villagers about it after returning. The villagers felt that this matter was related to everyone's safety, and each household sent a male to join the village patrol team. , let Xuan Yue and his brothers lead a team to patrol the village every night.
There used to be only one road into the village, but now there is no water in the river. If someone comes up from the river, they can still enter the village.
In order to prevent people from entering the village from the river, Yuan Chuyi proposed that everyone go up the mountain to cut wattle trees and set them up by the river to build a protective fence. Now everyone has no doubts about Yuan Chuyi's words. As soon as her proposal came out, Zhang Yongfu and his people immediately Taking action, they not only blocked the river, but also built a village wall with stone ice dragons at the foot of Beishan Village. Only one door was left for the villagers to enter and exit the fields, but that door was also made of thick door panels, and every evening at dusk Close that door early.
Seeing that the village was well protected, Yuan Chuyi didn't worry about refugees coming to cause trouble.
On this day, she was leading people to clean up the new house. Xuan Yue came and said that Yuan Wenyuan, the head of the Yuan family, came to see her.
