Traveling through the famine years with the system to raise cubs

"This..." Jiang Zhishan hesitated for a while and didn't know how to answer. In all fairness, he didn't think about it at all.

When he came out of the academy at that time, he was already prepared that he would not be able to study for the rest of his life to catch the exam. Now his eldest sister is like a ray of light, and he just reversed what he believed in.

Jiang Zhishan hesitated for a moment, then replied: "Don't worry, big sister, I've made up my mind, I will be here before the exam, and I will teach the children to read and write in Lujia Village!"

After Jiang Ling heard this, her heart skipped a beat. She was also very conflicted about this matter. She wanted to keep Jiang Zhishan, but she hoped that Jiang Zhishan could pass the exam smoothly. Hearing Jiang Zhishan's words, Jiang Ling looked at Jiang Zhishan and asked: "Zhishan, can you not go to school?"

"Sister, you don't know something. I already know the part taught in the school. I guess the things outside the school should be related to the control of locusts and drought this year. You and my nephew are both participants. This part must be yours. It’s the clearest, so I thought about it and planned to stay until before the exam.”

Hearing Jiang Zhishan's words, Jiang Ling felt as if she had knocked over a five-flavor bottle. She didn't say anything, but told him to rest early and went back to the bedroom.

Looking at the sleeping children and touching their thin clothes, an idea suddenly popped up in Jiang Ling's mind.

This era is different from modern times. Because cotton was planted less in this era, the yield was very low, and the price was very expensive. Only some merchants and dignitaries could afford it. As for the poor, most of them would choose reeds as winter protection.

Thinking of this, Jiang Ling secretly opened the mall while the children were sleeping, and bought a book "Agricultural Encyclopedia". Although Jiang Ling had never farmed land since childhood, she is no longer the Jiang Ling of the 21st century, but Lujia Village Jiang Ling, she can only get used to and accept it slowly.

Taking advantage of the moonlight, Jiang Ling flipped through the thick "Encyclopedia of Agriculture", and finally found relevant content about cotton planting in the book.

Lujia Village was nowhere to be found in the past dynasties. Jiang Ling could only make a simple distinction from the food grown by the villagers and the weather.

The book says that cotton can be planted in the south in July and August. Thinking of this, Jiang Ling plans to go to Changning Town tomorrow. According to the calculation of the date, it is almost August now, and I just bought land, which happens to be a test field. See if you can grow cotton.

Thinking of this, Jiang Ling suddenly lost all sleepiness, and carefully studied the "Encyclopedia of Agriculture" under the moonlight. It was not until the middle of the night that Jiang Ling dragged his sleepy body on the bed.

In the early morning of the next day, Jiang Ling and Jiang Zhishan confessed that they were sitting in Uncle Lu's ox cart. With Jiang Zhishan at home to take care of his four children, Jiang Ling was much more at ease when going out.

After seeing Jiang Ling's appearance, several village women in the car asked cautiously, "Mr. Jiang, you...how long will your brother stay in Lujia Village?"

Looking at the longing eyes of the village women, Jiang Ling immediately knew what they were thinking. Jiang Ling said lightly: "If you want your children to come to school, come all of them. It's okay. You can pay the repair fee according to your needs. More or less." We don't care what we give."

"Really...Really?" Several village women were taken aback, and they looked at Jiang Ling in front of them in disbelief.

At this moment, Uncle Lu coughed lightly, and he said to Jiang Ling: "Jiang... Mrs. Jiang, can I let my grandson, Lu Huzi, also go and read with your brother?"

"Of course I can, but..."

"But what?" Several village women immediately interrupted Jiang Ling's words and asked.

"However, my house doesn't seem to be that big anymore. I'm worried that the children won't be able to sit down." Jiang Ling recalled, counting her own children, there are more than ten children in total. up.

"You don't have to worry about this. Let's go back and tell the village chief that there is an open space next to our Lu family's ancestral hall, and that space is perfect for teaching children!" Lu Bo said with a smile.

Hearing Lu Bo's words, Jiang Ling nodded and responded.

Uncle Lu actually had some selfish intentions when he said this. When he was young, he worked as a clerk in a grocery store, and he was particularly envious of the abacus of the owner of the grocery store.

He also patiently begged the shopkeeper to teach him, but the shopkeeper felt that he was a villager, not worthy of messing with his own calculations.

After several rounds of ridicule, Uncle Lu finally left the grocery store angrily. As for the abacus, he never touched it once even on the day he left.

In the past few days, he heard that Jiang Ling's younger brother had come to Lujiacun. It was said that he was still a scholar who was about to take the exam for a scholar. With this mouth, I can only use the name of my grandson, and when the grandson comes back, I can secretly learn from it.

Thinking of this, Uncle Lu asked again: "Mr. Jiang, I heard that you need an abacus, right? How much is your abacus? The study is very expensive!"

Jiang Ling rolled his eyes and said, "Oh, this is made by an old carpenter, and it only costs fifty copper plates, not as expensive as it is sold in the study!"

"Ah! Mrs. Jiang, where... is that old carpenter? I... want to buy one for my child!" The village woman on the side quickly answered after hearing it.

"This... why don't you give me the money, sister-in-law, and I'll buy it for you. I can't tell you the exact location, but I can find it myself!" Jiang Ling tried to find a reason to prevaricate.

The village women thought about it when they heard it. There are a lot of things they need to buy when they go out this time. If they are really far away, they will waste their time. The village women said quickly: "Oh, then ...Then please trouble Mrs. Jiang! We will give you the money right away!"

Speaking of several village women taking out copper coins from their arms and putting them all in Jiang Ling's hands, Uncle Lu, who was driving the car, also hurriedly said: "Mr. for you!"

The ox cart slowly stopped at the gate of Changning Town. Jiang Ling didn't wait to get off the car. Several village women and Uncle Lu told Jiang Ling again.

Jiang Ling walked into the grocery store and said to the yawning boss, "Excuse me, do you have any cotton seeds?"

"Cotton seeds? Wait until I see!" Apparently the boss is a bit unfamiliar with this name, he walked out from the counter and walked towards the shelf.

After a long time, the boss walked up to Jiang Ling holding a piece of paper with some seeds on it and said, "This is cotton seed. I don't know how long it has been stored. If you want it, I will sell it to you for five copper coins!"

Jiang Ling took out five copper coins from his pocket and put them on the table. The boss looked at Jiang Ling and reminded: "This thing should not be eaten or drunk. Auntie, I think you should be a village woman. You should think about it!"

Jiang Ling raised the corner of her mouth, thanked the shopkeeper, carefully wrapped the seeds, and put them in her arms.

As soon as he walked out of the grocery store, a peddler selling chickens and ducks attracted Jiang Ling's attention.

"Brother, how much is this duck?" Jiang Ling asked, looking at the lively duck.
