With advanced farming methods and production tools, a lot of food can be squeezed out just by squeezing.

This is why King Feng Gui was able to sell grain to Jingzhou.

After all, now that Liangzhou is in hand, there are green storage towers and pastures. Large livestock can replace human labor for farming. This must be the trend of the Han Dynasty.

As long as we really win Guanzhong and work peacefully for a few years, we really have to consider the fact that low grain prices will hurt farmers.

After all, production methods have improved, food output has increased, but the population has declined. Who is going to eat this food?

Of course, this is the premise that the Han Dynasty can win Guanzhong.

As for now...the only option is to buy grain at a high price.

After all, the price of grain at the Nanxiang Exchange has already exceeded 200 yuan.

In fact, this red line was crossed with Feng Yong's tacit approval.

The copper mine in Nanzhong has officially produced copper. Coupled with the printing and issuance of things like banknotes, the economy of Han Dynasty has been improving in recent years. To say that there is no inflation would be to deceive oneself and others.

Therefore, letting the price of food slightly exceed 200 yuan at this time can make some people relax their vigilance and make them more courageous.

As for leeks, after cutting them, remember to loosen the soil more and water them more, otherwise how can you make them grow back quickly?

Therefore, Feng Junhou was very sure: many people would be willing to sell the grain worth more than 200 yuan.

"Sir, sir, I heard that the warehouse collects grain, and it costs two hundred and thirty dollars. Can our family sell it?"

In a village on the edge of the Sunshui River Valley in Yuexun County, a boy of twelve or thirteen years old was carrying a shoulder bag, which was bouncing rapidly on his buttocks.

The "squeaking" sound indicates the owner's anxiety.

He trotted along with bare feet, and as soon as his black and gray left foot covered with mud crossed the threshold, the child loudly told his parents the news.

"It's still more than a month before we can harvest the food. Where can we get the extra food at home now?"

The adult of the baby was not at home, but the woman who was busy in the silkworm room heard the child's voice and quickly came out to stop her child's yelling:

"When you get back, go bring some water back and prepare for dinner. Just study hard in school. You don't have to worry about things at home."

The woman was wearing linen clothes. Although they were a bit old, she was still clean.

Although his face looked a little tired, his eyes were shining with hope for life.

Because this year's silkworms look better than last year.

With these silkworms, children don’t have to worry about studying for school, and they can even add some meat to the family during the New Year and festivals.

Because there are pastures in Yuexun, the family can also rent cattle from the government to plant more land.

Therefore, the food at home is not only enough for my family, but there is also some leftover.

However, the experience of starvation in the past few years has made the woman regard food as her life, and it has almost become an instinct to carefully save the excess food.

It is impossible to sell.

The woman's family originally worked as tenants for a wealthy family in Guanghan County. In the year when Feng Junhou pacified Yuexun County, the head of the family said that the court would not allow him to support so many people, so his family was kicked out.

Finally, he was moved to Yuexun by the imperial court.

I originally thought this place was a wild land, but I didn't expect that under Feng Junhou's governance, I could actually be allocated fields.

Later, schools were built in Qiongdu.

Although Feng Junhou has left Yuexun, everyone's life is getting better and better because of the legacy he left behind.

Many newly built villages will build primary schools centered on a certain location.

Children from several or a dozen nearby villages, as long as they are registered households, can go to school.

Shuxiu is definitely needed, and it's not too cheap. It requires at least the output of a silkworm house for one year.

Fortunately, the Xinghan Society vigorously developed mulberry and silkworm breeding in Yuexun, and the silk produced in Yuexun was much better than elsewhere.

The prosperity of the sericulture industry has allowed the people of Yuexun County to have a silkworm room in almost every household.

If a housewife raises silkworms for a year, she can send her children to school. For Cangtou Guizhou, this is like a dream.

More importantly, if the child does well, he can be recommended to study in a school in Qiongdu.

That means that this family will cross the Qianshou class and enter the ranks of wealthy families.

Because after entering Qiongdu Academy, the minimum he would be a manager of Xinghanhui Industry after graduation.

If the child is more ambitious and can be recommended to Nanxiang Academy, it means that he will officially become a scholar.

if……

Too many ifs and too many opportunities filled the hearts of the people of Yuexi with hope.

Just like this woman, although it is a bit harder and more tiring, she is willing.

Every day before dawn, children from every village gather together at the entrance of the village and walk together to school several miles or even ten miles away, which has become a special landscape in Yuexun County.

The beginning of all these changes began with Feng Junhou.

People in Yuexi now call the mulberry trees planted in front of and behind their houses Feng mulberry.

Because I heard that this kind of mulberry tree was found by Feng Junhou at a great cost and could produce good silkworms.

And it was Feng Junhou who tried his best to allow the people to raise one more season of silkworms a year.

Therefore, silkworms from Yuexi are also called Feng silkworms.

Even the silkworm seeds were lent by the government to the people, and they would be repaid after the cocoons were formed. This was also the policy set by Feng Junhou to govern Yuexi.

Before Feng Junhou came to govern Yuexun, even if wealthy people wanted to raise silkworms, let alone the poor people in Guizhou, just raising silkworms was a problem.

It's not like now when a woman can give her family hope of turning around.

School is a place for literacy, and literate children are one of the channels for disseminating various information to their families.

Only this time, the children who brought the news home did not get the feedback they expected.

He responded somewhat gloomily, carefully put away his schoolbag, then picked up the pole and prepared to fetch water from the well in the middle of the village.

"This kid is so impatient? Aren't you tired after studying in school all day? There is half a steamed cake left on the table. Fill your stomach first, otherwise where will you have the strength?"

Rich people now begin to eat three meals a day.

But how can ordinary people be so particular?

I have tried my best to send my children to school.

So basically I eat two meals a day.

Compared with before, the biggest difference is that I can eat enough.

The children get up early and go to school. For breakfast, they basically eat the leftover meal from last night.

Or add some water, make porridge, and eat some pickles, pickles, etc.

Until after school, get home, and then have dinner.

"Mom, I'm not hungry. Let's eat together at dinner time."

The child swallowed, but shook his head in response.

My family can only eat steamed pancakes once or twice a month.

So of this half steamed cake, where is the rest?

It must have been specially left for him by his parents.
