Zhangjialing is not all rice land, half of the land near Nanhe used to be planted with rape and cotton.
However, Zhang Chun thinks that after the harvest this summer, most of them will be changed to rice.
Only in the very few highlands, where irrigation is inconvenient, continue to grow cotton.
Selling gold and silver jewelry to get silver taels, Zhang Chun just exchanged for two cows.
Everything else was used as rations.
He was going to make good on his promise to let everyone eat three meals a day.
By the end of May, Zhang Chun had the strength to move around the ground.
The reason why this body is so poor is that Zhang Chun inadvertently learned that he had been uncomfortable for the past few months because he was addicted to opium#, and the eight-year-old child also smoked opium#, you can imagine how corrupt and depraved the life of the Zhang family was before.
#Opium addiction is largely a matter of mental dependence, and when Zhang Chun's body changed souls, spiritual dependence has completely disappeared.
Because Zhang Chun didn't know what it was like to smoke opium #.
So I just think that this body has a poor foundation.
Zhang Chun saw the appearance of Xiao Rong's opium #, a young man in the mill, and found that his symptoms were exactly the same as his.
The tenants in Zhangjialing had no money to smoke opium#, but the servants and some young lady's maids and mothers used to smoke opium# with their masters.
Zhang Chun gave a death order, if you smoke opium #, you will leave Zhangjialing, quit smoking if you don't want to leave, and be forced to quit smoking.
Fortunately, these people only occasionally get the master to like to reward two mouthfuls, so the opium # addiction is not deep.
After being locked up for a few days, Qiangzi was asked to take people to check all the people who entered Zhangjialing, and even the merchants who were doing small business were driven out, and the import of opium # was cut off.
These people's opium addiction is also quit.
After receiving treatment and quitting smoking, it was already July when I recovered.
During this period, it was also fortunate that Chunya taught Zhang Chun "qigong", which was different from the hard qigong of the army in later generations, and Chunya's cultivation method was to control the breathing and strengthen the overall perception ability.
In this way, all parts of the body are controlled to move normally.
This method of cultivation focuses more on mental control than muscle and bone strength.
Of course, this is for Zhang Chun, who is very diligent in the exercise of muscles and bones.
Since Zhang Chun was able to ensure that she had three meals a day and supper at night, she had not stopped.
Chunya said that this was the authentic Taoist cultivation method passed on to her by her parents, and through Chunya's preaching, Zhang Chun found that this was actually the cultivation mentioned in later novels.
It's just that it's not as mysterious as later generations said, but a real self-cultivation and qi cultivation.
"Being able to control your breath, to control your emotions, to control your body's perception, that's the foundation of cultivation.
It doesn't matter if you're learning martial arts, or learning the Tao, or doing anything, that's the foundation.
It is the foundation of being a human being, and the cultivation you are talking about, in fact, there is also this saying, and people who have achieved cultivation in ancient times are also called real people.
Chunya actually just recounted her parents' words, and she couldn't explain why she did it.
However, in the process of fighting against #opium addiction, Zhang Chun found that his perception seemed to be stronger than that of ordinary people, and he could feel that ** addiction is a deceptive signal produced by the human body, and caused the body's excessive reaction.
Distinguish between whether these external stimuli are real or false, and whether the body's response is real or false.
The so-called removal of the false and the preservation of the true is to cultivate the truth.
It doesn't matter what Xiuzhen is, what matters is to be able to strengthen Zhang Chun's restraint.
And let Zhang Chun know how to recuperate his body.
Zhang Chun wants to do a lot of things, but his energy is really limited.
In addition to being trapped by my own body, another reason is the lack of manpower.
There are now only 27 adult men and 52 adult women in Zhangjialing.
Among the children between the ages of 11 and 14, there were eight boys and fifteen girls.
Children under the age of 10 are about the same as men and women, 17 boys and 16 girls.
The youngest child is four years old.
There were only twelve children with mothers, the rest were orphans, and six of them were children of bandits who had been picked up in the field.
Among them, the adults also included eight people who were disabled due to injuries, all of whom were men.
So in fact, Zhangjialing now lacks strong labor.
Fortunately, after nearly three months of recuperation and enough food, both men and women have recovered well, and some people already have a little meat on their bodies.
There are only 1,000 acres of farmland in Zhangjialing, but in fact only rice land is counted.

Drylands are not counted, and they do not pay for food.
This is an astonishing phenomenon that Zhang Chun discovered when he checked the field book.
In other words, almost all landlords used various connections to conceal the acres of land in order to reduce the amount of land to be handed over.
Therefore, in fact, after the conversion of Zhangjialing's dry land into paddy land, it will definitely exceed 2,500 mu of paddy fields, and there will be more than 200 mu of cotton land.
The farmland in Niutou Mountain is not counted in the field book, there are about 800 acres of rice land and 1,200 acres of hillside land planted with cotton, soybeans and sesame seeds.
There are nine small hills in the whole Niutou Mountain, all of which are Chai Mountain of Zhangjialing, with an area of more than 20,000 acres.
With such a large area, even if it had a population of more than 600 people in the past, it could still be poor like this, Zhang Chun felt that it was a little unreasonable.
Of course, the Zhang family is not poor, judging from the remaining buildings in the backyard and the gold and silver jewelry sold by Zhang Chun, not only is it not poor, but it is also very rich, just selling the jewelry found in the backyard and selling it for more than 3,000 taels of silver.
This is only less than one percent of the Zhang family's property before it was destroyed.
With so much farmland, Zhang Chun could only gather adult men and women, and Zhang Xiuqing led them to work.
Twenty-three children over the age of 11 did not participate in labor, but trained while reading and writing, and took on the task of patrolling and checking Zhangjialing.
The strong son and their village guard team was disbanded, because without them, there would be no strong labor.
Zhang Chun and Chunya were entangled in all their energy by these fifty-six children, the children in the countryside were in charge of the family early, especially after the change of family ruin, the children who could remember things at the age of six or seven grew up overnight, they were very obedient, if these children were asked to work in the field all day, they would also do it.
But Zhang Chun is unwilling, the child is hope.
So Zhang Chun decided to teach these children to read and write.
It is also necessary to work in the fields, but only a hundred acres have been set aside in the nearest rice field, and Chunya is asked to take the children out to work for half a day every day.
Children over the age of 11 work in the fields in the morning, are led by Chunya to practice boxing in the afternoon, and learn literacy in the evening.
Children under the age of 10 have to take care of the younger ones, and they only teach some basic agricultural knowledge in the morning, and by the way, they can read and write.
Afternoons are spent playing and studying in makeshift classrooms.
The teacher is Zhang Chun.
In fact, of all the more than 100 people, Zhang Chun is the only one who can read and write, and Chunya only knows some simple words, and is basically illiterate.
Among the twenty-three eldest children, only fifteen can really stick to the exercise.
The remaining eight girls were too thin, but they did almost all the laundry and cooking, and they had been doing these things since they were five or six years old, so they were very skilled.
Zhang Chun wearily watched the children writing and playing on the sand, and standing in the middle of the yard to practice boxing.
My heart is full of hope.
The two osmanthus trees in the yard were not completely burned, and after cutting off the dead branches, they grew very luxuriant in just a few months.
In July, the weather is already a bit hot.
Aunt Qin took eight girls to boil mung bean soup and prepared to send it to the people who worked in the field.
"Young master, the noodles are gone, you can't sell a little grain, buy a donkey and come back, no one will grind."
Aunt Qin poured Zhang Chun a bowl of mung bean soup.
"The price of food has gone up outside."
"It has risen several times, we still have more food, if we can make a lot of silver by changing hands, it doesn't matter if we people eat a little less, we have been hungry and full of meals all these years, and we can't afford the blessing of three meals a day."
Aunt Qin became Zhang Chun's steward in the inner courtyard.
"When the price of food rises, that is a shortage of food.
This year's summer grain output will not be high, and I am afraid that if we sell grain again, we will not be able to sustain the autumn harvest.
Wait, get through these few months and buy two more buffaloes.
Zhang Chun closed his eyes tiredly.
"Where is the lack of food, the Wu family and the Li family have more grain, and the other families have grain, and they are all waiting for the price of food to rise.
The daughter-in-law of the Zhang family in the north was late to buy food, and I heard that she sold all her jewelry and didn't buy much food.
Their family has a small population, and no one dies of hunger, but I am afraid that there will not be many paddy fields, and I heard that they will all be planted with beans and sesame seeds.
Aunt Qin did not leave, but mentioned the Zhang family in Jinjiling to Zhang Chun again.
In the past, there were deep contradictions between Zhangjialing and the Zhang family in Jinjiling, but Zhang Yang's family won the hearts of people on both sides.
"Didn't I send more than 200 catties of rice before, why can't I get by, there are few of them."
"It was five or six women who got pregnant."
Aunt Qin's expression was gloomy.

"Huh?"
Zhang Chun was taken aback, and hurriedly straightened up from the bamboo chair and looked at Aunt Qin.
It is not only the women of Jinjiling who are abused by bandits, but also many of them in Zhangjialing.
"There are more than a dozen of us who are pregnant, but now I can't see that there is a lot of work in the field.
Now that life is good, everyone didn't eat or drink before, and they didn't survive the same, this is a woman's life.
Aunt Qin took the bowl that Zhang Chun had drunk.
"At that time, there will really be no one on the Jinji Ridge side, and there are few men in them."
Zhang Chun gasped.
"There's a man over there now, who gets up early and is greedy all day long, and I can't hold it for a few months."
Aunt Qin obviously has an element of intercession in it.
"Grandpa Xiu, what do they say?"
Zhang Chun knew that this kind of thing was probably Zhang Xiuqing and they knew about it first, and asked Aunt Qin to intercede.
"In a few months, they will be fifteen years old and will be able to work well.
They don't have much land in Jinjiling, only four or five hundred acres.
Aunt Qin lowered her head and washed the bowl, put it in the basket, and a few girls were already carrying the clay baskets with mung bean soup clay pots about to go to the ground.
Zhang Chun's eyes flashed, and he sighed and said, "I know, there is still a lot of brown sugar at home." ” "There's not much brown sugar, it's too expensive.
If you buy salt early, you can even out some of it, and you can eat pickles over there to live.
Aunt Qin looked up and smiled.
Zhang Chun rubbed his face, sobered himself up, and said, "Look at how many pregnant women there are, let's eat a little better here, or even a little brown sugar, and give a little salt."
Order the food too, three meals can not be less, count the days, if there is more, send a little.
We'll talk about it after the autumn harvest. ” & nbspdian.
