Picking Up a General to Plow the Fields Chapter 66: An important event is being announced here (2)

lnmao.org, the fastest update of Home of the Farming Girl: Pick up a general to farm the latest chapter!

Whenever there is a big event, the big guys in each village will gather for a meeting in a specific place. Dafang Village is under the big camphor tree in the middle of the village. For example, when spring ploughing, reminding people to hurry up and not to miss the season, when autumn is dry, reminding people to pay attention to fire prevention when entering the mountains, announcing when taxes will be paid after the autumn harvest, or the imperial court for conscription or conscription, etc., are all notified by Lizheng.

However, there are very few things like conscription and corvee, usually spring plowing and autumn harvesting, etc., as a rule. At this time, there are things that are announced, but it is still important, and it has to be a little suspenseful. No wonder Grandma Sangu will sigh.

Lian Fangzhou simply said: "Follow him! Anyway, I'll know when the time comes! Our family are all half-year-old children, so it may not be worth it!"

Grandma Sangu thought about it, it was indeed the truth, so she stopped thinking about it.

In the evening, Lian Fangzhou, Lian Ze, and Aunt Li Shuzhang came back first, and after a simple wash, they agreed to go down to the big camphor tree together.

When they arrived, there were already a lot of villagers standing sparsely under the big camphor tree, and everyone was discussing what would happen in twos and threes.

But obviously, Li Zheng's tone is very tight, and no one knows what will happen until the last minute. This kind of discussion and speculation is just to pass the time!

The more people gathered, the more crowded and noisy. Lian Li and Qiao also came. The two saw Lian Fangzhou and Lian Ze standing with Uncle Li and Aunt Zhang. Lian Li didn’t say anything, but Qiao murmured a few words in a low voice. Turned his head and stopped looking at them.

In a short while, Zhang Lizheng finally came, standing on the high stone platform under the big camphor tree, glanced around, and asked loudly, "Are there all the people here?"

Everyone babbled and replied: "It's all here! Come on!"

Zhang Lizheng coughed and said loudly: "Everyone is quiet, quiet, listen to me!" After shouting several times like this, everyone below finally calmed down and stared at Zhang Lizheng intently.

Zhang Lizheng slowly said: "The news that the county government has just come down, the government has issued two new seeds, asking all of us to try planting next year--"

Without finishing a sentence, there was a "boom" underneath.

"What? New seeds? Is this reliable!"

"Try planting? Use our own field?"

"Nonsense! Where can you grow without owning your own field!"

"That won't work! What about the crops? If you don't plant crops, I will starve to death next year!"

"I think so, now we are forcing us to plant things that we don't know. Then we will have no food to eat and the government will take care of it?"

"You have a dream, whoever cares about the lives of our people!"

"Hey, don't make noise, don't make noise, I haven't heard what Zhang Lizheng said!"

"..."

Zhang Li was not in a hurry to hear the clamor from below, as if he had expected the big guy to react like this. He stood on the top and looked at him calmly, quite calmly.

"Oh, how did this happen! I don't know what is being grown, but what can be bigger than grain? Alas!" Aunt Zhang also sighed.

"Is there any way, the government has already spoken, can we not do it?" Uncle Li is an honest man, after thinking about it, and then: "It's a big deal, let's burn a few more kiln charcoal, save more money, and buy it when the time comes. I can’t get hungry even if I eat food."

This is somewhat reasonable, and Aunt Zhang nodded, not so nervous and entangled.

However, she still feels a little bit sad, because she originally thought that this year would be a fat year and could add a lot of things, but now it seems that she has to plan again.

Lian Fangzhou smiled and said: "Uncle Li and Aunt Zhang, let's listen first, maybe it's a good thing!"

Uncle Li and Aunt Zhang both smiled, both of them have the same mind: Can the government do something good? It's a good thing, someone rushed to do it, as for this!

Zhang Lizheng saw that the big guy was chattering almost, and then he shouted to calm everyone down, and then said: "These two things are called potatoes and the same cotton. Potatoes can be eaten as food, and cotton is used, The clothes maker..."

Speaking of this, there is another "Boom" underneath.

Lian Fangzhou's mind also "boomed", suddenly raised his head to look at Zhang Lizheng, secretly suppressing excitement.

Potatoes, cotton, that are really good things!

However, no matter how good things are, they have to be discovered. That's good things! For people who have never met, that is not necessarily true!

For example, all the folks who looked agitated at this moment were very angry.

"I have never heard of beans growing in the soil for a lifetime, so who is it? Just call it peanuts!"

"It must be impossible to compare with Peanuts, so I am embarrassed to call it this name!"

"The cotton is even more outrageous. Flowers can be used to make clothes, so let's wear tree leaves!"

There was a burst of laughter from the crowd. But after the laughter, it was even more excited and angry.

Everyone agrees that: the government is simply deceiving people too much! This is clearly to kill the farmers!

"Sister, don't be afraid, let's burn more charcoal with Uncle Li, and next year, I can also go hunting in the mountains!" Lian Ze thought that Lian Fangzhou was scared by worry, and quickly whispered.

"Sister is fine! Don't worry!" Lian Fangzhou smiled at him slightly.

Everyone’s resistance far exceeded Zhang Lizheng’s expectations. Zhang Lizheng also lost patience, so he said loudly, "Don’t make noise! ​​Listen to me! Can you help you make noise? You don’t need to get seeds if you complain. Up?"

When everyone saw that he was moving in real fire, and the words sounded helpless but true, they all stopped in frustration.

"Zhang Lizheng, you have to give everyone an idea! You can't do that! Next year, the whole family will drink northwest wind!" Someone pleaded bitterly, and won unanimous support from the big guys.

"Can I know your difficulties!" Zhang Lizheng sighed and said, "But this is the decision of the court. Each of our three southwestern provinces will select three counties for trial planting. This is Yuhe County. One of them, what's there to say? You want to think about it, who should I go to? I don’t want to be like you, I have to plant it! Who wants to have the ability to plant it, okay, I will be accused by then In the county office, don’t blame me for not reminding me ahead!"

Zhang Lizheng finished speaking, and everyone was silent, their heads drooped in frustration, and their brows furrowed.

"Zhang Lizheng, don't all the fields of every household have to grow these two things, right?" someone asked.

Everyone lifted up their spirits and looked up at Zhang Li in unison: Since you can't escape, let's plant them. Anyway, leave some room for the big guys to grow food!

Zhang Lizheng saw that everyone was being held, his expression relaxed, and he said: "The government is still very considerate of the big guys. How could it be possible to do this? Every household grows potatoes and cotton on half of the field. For the rest of the love to grow, go back and get the seeds from me! Potato seeds cost two cents a catty, and cotton seeds cost five cents a catty!"

"Ah, more money!" someone exclaimed.
