Chapter 245 Starting to Make Money ([-])

The villagers grow vegetables, build houses and collect shellfish by the sea. Everyone has work every day, gradually forming a step-by-step rhythm and order. From time to time, merchants come down to exchange grain for cattle and sheep. The villagers have no worries about eating, drinking and making money at the same time. I also know that life outside is not easy, because of the floods this year, the food shortage will continue until next summer harvest, except for the big households who are not short of food, ordinary people are tightly holding on to those who have food, so the merchants have the ability to go back and forth.

In addition to worrying news, merchants will also bring interesting gossip. For example, the Shen family, a big family in the county, has had a hard time recently, and the internal fighting is fierce. The candidate for the new patriarch is still undecided. The successors supported by the elders are also different. Before the former patriarch was buried, the family was already in disarray. The funerals became more and more sloppy and became a joke. The reputation of the century-old Shen family fell into disgrace.

Qi Ke was very happy when he heard that, even outsiders knew that the Shen family was fighting among themselves, so it can be seen what kind of fighting they had internally, plus several other big families would definitely not be able to resist taking the opportunity to benefit themselves. Still have to fight.

This is of course a good thing, they have work to do so they don't have the energy to torment the common people, and the contradictions exposed by their fights can just be used by Bai Qing to stabilize the prestige of the Bai family army in the local area.

Knowing for a long time that all big households are paper tigers, there is nothing to be afraid of. Qi Ke listens to gossip, grows vegetables, studies gunpowder and medicine prescriptions, and lives a comfortable life.

Half a month later, the cabbage with the shortest harvest period can be harvested, a few days earlier than expected. Qi Ke thinks it may be due to the soil. After all, the soil is directly taken from the farmland, which is watered by the water of the spiritual realm. However, promoting plant growth is not surprising at all.

Knowing that the first batch of cabbage in Siliu Village was about to be harvested, Bai Qing and Cheng Feng sent their money and food officials on the same day, but Qi Ke saw many acquaintances from Bai Qing's team of money and food officials, except Fu Xiaosheng Kuai He became a special traveler on the line of Siliu Village, and his younger brother Fu Xiaoli Dinglin and his five friends, they not only came to see the rare ones, but also brought a boatload of live hares to Qi Ke. The mothers were housed in separate cages.

Qi Ke looked at the rabbit cages piled high on the river beach, and secretly rejoiced that she had set up a rabbit house in the backyard for cover and breeding experiments. At the same time, she asked the villagers to entertain the guests on her behalf, and then she brought some other people to the rabbit house. These rabbit cages were generously moved to the rabbit house, allowing them to see the wild rabbits she kept in it.

The purpose of the rabbit room is to observe the reproduction and growth of wild rabbits under artificial breeding conditions, record data and accumulate experience. If someone discusses with her how to raise rabbits in the future, she can tell more. After all, it is too much to raise animals and plants in Qianhe. She cheated, and she had nothing to worry about, which made her reserve of basic agricultural knowledge not solid, too superficial.

"Wow, you have so many wild rabbits here." Ding Lin and the others who came over couldn't help exclaiming when they saw rows of rabbit cages, "It's so clean."

Qi Ke first instructed the villagers to help her place the rabbit cage, and when she turned around and heard what Ding Lin and the others said, her face turned black.

"Don't think I'm long-winded. Rabbits must be cleaned frequently to reduce the odor and make you feel comfortable, right?"

"Isn't it cold?" The friends rubbed their hands with a dry smile, "I thought the winter in the south was so warm, but it turns out that it's not much better than in the north, and I still get chilblains."

"Have frostbite? Let me see."
