He would feel even more distressed when he had to donate grain.
In his view, there were more than 200 mu of land, no, including the land cleared from the ranch, there were more than 300 mu of land.
If they kept all this grain, it would be enough to feed the Chi family for decades.
But Xiaoyu's approach was also correct; since the items were given by an immortal, they should definitely be done according to His requirements.
Perhaps the immortal, in a moment of pleasure, will allow the little fish to use it for more than three years?
The next day, just as dawn was breaking, Chi Yu knocked on Qin Mu's door.
Once the door opened, she went inside and then closed it again.
Then, under Qin Mu's puzzled gaze, he led the person into the space.
"Amu, I received over ten thousand taels of silver from the things I asked Qiao to sell."
She told me that the situation in northern Xinjiang is quite serious. The disaster situation outside is equally severe.
I fear that if things continue like this, the imperial court will not be able to collect taxes, and then there will be no grain to transport to the northern frontier.
There are a total of 11,010 taels here, which I donated to them.
You should use this to buy more grain. Once I have accumulated enough merit, the crops in the fields will definitely grow faster.
I will donate another batch of potatoes and sweet potatoes then.
Qin Mu was originally a soldier from the northern frontier, and he had a deep affection for that region.
Seeing the thick stack of silver notes in his hand, he felt a mix of emotions.
He didn't refuse, because he knew that both Fang Shizhong's side and the Marquis of Zhenbei's side were extremely short of money.
Anping County is not worried for the time being.
However, the problem of food supplies in northern Xinjiang urgently needs to be solved.
If you don't have the money, even if you want to buy it, you can't.
In this situation, who would extend credit to you?
So, clutching the stack of silver notes, he finally opened his arms and hugged Chi Yu tightly.
"Little Fish, thank you!"
Chi Yu comforted him, saying, "Amu, Qiao told me yesterday that it's hard to buy grain these days."
Buy as much as you can afford.
Don't worry, if the grain in our cave can be harvested before May.
We'll keep the ones we want to plant, and donate the rest.
There are about 200 mu of potatoes and sweet potatoes outside. On average, that's about 2,000 jin per mu.
That totals 400,000 jin, which means 4,000 shi of grain.
Moreover, that's not all. The yield from the land in our cave dwelling is even higher. The yield of sweet potatoes alone is no less than five thousand per mu.
I originally wanted to donate some chickens, ducks and fish, but then I thought that live poultry is difficult to transport.
Unless it's smoked or air-dried, it's too hot outside, and it will spoil even if cooked, so I'd better not bother.
However, salted duck eggs and preserved eggs are fine; I'll ask my sister-in-law about them later.
Also, I've stored some dried vegetables, mint tea, and mung beans; you can ship them all over here later.
Qin Mu was even more moved and became even more determined to have Fang Shizhong promote the Chi family after he took office.
"Little Fish, you're so kind. Don't worry, I won't let you donate these things for nothing."
Chi Yu didn't respond to that, but simply said to him, "Let's go out, we're going into the city later."
Let me know when you send this money out, and I'll take out the item for you.
However, you'll need to help me come up with an explanation for where this money and these items came from.
"Yes, you can rest assured that I'll handle things!"
After Qin Mu's words, Guo Fu's voice could be heard outside as the couple left the space.
"Amu, are you awake? Go downstairs and get something to eat, we should get going!"
"Come on when you're awake!"
Qin Mu responded, then opened the door and walked to Guo Fu's side.
The two walked and whispered to each other, and no one but themselves knew what they were saying.
