    Time passed in a hurry, and it disappeared in the blink of an eye.  Chen Chen's life in the past few years can be said to be a cycle of following the rules, shops, Taoyuan Village, and going to sea.  That is to say, almost all the famous places have Jia¡¯s industry. Carpet expansion is the key goal of Jia¡¯s development. Looking at it now, it is very successful!

    The past few years have not been as expected by Chen Chen. Although there are no major disasters that turn the world upside down overnight, there are constant minor illnesses, and it is always not peaceful!

    Emperor Jiang can be regarded as a wise ruler of the previous generation. The disaster relief was handled in a timely and efficient manner, and the reconstruction work after the disaster was also progressing rapidly. However, the booming business in the population market also shows some problems, not to mention the refugees registered in the government office, but Chen Chen did not.  This problem was solved for the local officials. In three years, the population of Taoyuan Village reached 30,000!  It was far beyond Chen Chen's expectations, and most of them were refugees, so the price was very cheap, which saved Chen Chen a lot of money!

    After that, life will not be so easy!  It is now the fifth year that Taoyuan Village has been built. It is only October, and the weather has turned cold in vain, making people very busy. The crops in the field have not been confiscated.  The late rice here will be harvested in another month, but don't expect any accidents!

    While the farmers were secretly worrying and praying, Taoyuan Village was rushing to harvest and plant in full swing!  The golden ears of wheat and rice bent down heavily, waiting for the farmers to harvest. Shirtless men shuttled through the fields sweating, followed by half-grown children driving ox carts back for harvesting.  Good food, everyone's face is flushed, eyes are black and bright, and their mouths can't close their mouths when they are happy. This year is another harvest year!

    "Master! It's getting cold, let's go inside and wait!" Qing Shu followed Chen Chen around the field for a while, and felt that his head was cold from the soles of his feet, and he was trembling when he spoke!

    "En!" Chen Chen wasn't too cold, but seeing Qing Shu shrunk his head like a quail, it was a little funny, "Potatoes, sweet potatoes, cabbage, mustard greens, radishes, pumpkins are so cold-resistant, just plant them in the tidied up fields."  , let¡¯s continue to grow some fresh vegetables over the greenhouse, so as to give people a change of taste!¡±

    "Hey!" Qing Shu replied in a low voice, "Master, do you think it's going to be very cold this winter?"

    "The weather has not been good in the past few years! Summer is getting hotter and longer every year, and winter is the same. Last year's spring and autumn lasted only four months, but this year it has been shortened to three months. Now  But in October, you already need to wear winter clothes, and at the end of the month, the earth dragon will probably burn, this winter will be difficult! Prepare in advance!"

    "Yes, master! Fortunately, all the seedlings we want to plant have been raised in the greenhouse. Now that we plant them, we will be able to harvest them at the end of December!" Qing Shu said with a smile, "This village is all unified.  The dragon is burning, no matter how cold it is, it won't be able to freeze them! That black charcoal is a good thing, and I'm afraid we won't be able to live without it this year!"

    "The demand for black charcoal is huge here, as much as there is in the market, and the left and right villages can put it down!" Chen Chen squinted and said, there is already charcoal fire in this era, but people's acceptance is not high, most of them still use it  For firewood, only blacksmiths need charcoal fires to maintain high temperatures. Taoyuan Village uses collective heating. The greenhouse in the village has two huge boilers to maintain the temperature of the earth dragon. Coal is the best fuel!

    Chen Chen did some calculations. This year's heating will take at least four months. The village's reserves may be just enough, but if it snows, I'm afraid it will be a bit urgent!

    If it snows in the always warm south of the Yangtze River, what would it be like in the frigid Northwest?  Chen Chen informed the crown prince of the change in the weather early in the morning, and Emperor Jiang probably knew about it. In the past few years, due to the appearance of fire pit and earth dragon glass, the hardware configuration for cold resistance is still possible, especially the civilianization of glass, which is cheap  The price makes it into the streets and alleys, and it is no longer just a luxury exclusive for dignitaries!

    After harvesting the crops in the field and plowing deeply, the field will be neatly planted with juicy young seedlings!  The rice, wheat, corn, and beans were all exposed to the sun to remove moisture, and then put into sacks and put them in the granary built in the village. Some dishes of potatoes and sweet potatoes were picked and put in the cellar temporarily, and the rest was for daily food!

    The women and children in the village are washing a large vat one person tall, preparing pickled vegetables to make sauce, the village is full of big pots of rice during the busy farming season, but usually they live in different households, and if they are too lazy to do it, they go directly to the cafeteria to solve it.  You can also do it at home when you bring back your own rations, anyway, it is calculated on a per capita basis, and no one can suffer!  What they are doing now is all in the village. After this busy period is over, they can take their share if they want it, and go back to do it at home by themselves. Life is also fun!

    Chen Chen is not harsh to the people in the village, butIt's not very easy to talk about. Anyway, everything is done according to the rules. It's good to be polite and polite. If something happens and the rules are broken, Chen Chen doesn't bother too much, and sells the matter directly.  The people were terrified, what was the situation outside, how could these refugees who were fleeing for refuge not know, going out would be a dead end!

    In the village, you have a good house to live in, land to grow, animals to raise, work to do, food to eat, and new clothes to wear during festivals. You are not living well these days, and you still have those crooked thoughts, not yourself  Are you rushing to die?  Especially when the outside world is getting worse every year, Taoyuan Village really deserves the name, it is their paradise!

    At the end of November, there were crystal grains of snow floating in the sky. The amount was not much, that is, a touch of whiteness, but it made people feel terrified. After taking back the crops in the field, they hurried up the mountain to prepare firewood.  Well, all the big families burned black charcoal because of the earth dragon. The black charcoal was in short supply when the snow fell, and the price doubled, which made the charcoal seller very happy!

    The Taoyuan village has long been covered with wheat straw to keep it warm. Xue didn¡¯t take this idea seriously. Today, the canteen in the village just grinds tofu and presses vermicelli.  , but the beauty of the crowd was ruined, everyone ate their bellies, and went back to sleep on the kang happily. This day, there is nothing to say!

    In late December, the vegetables in the field began to be harvested. The men threw off their arms and worked hard. They insisted on harvesting the fields at the end of the month, and skillfully scattered the seeds of the ground flowers. The next time will be the next year!  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
