After a drenching rain, the people of Xianyang came out one after another and started farming against the clock!
The cooperative's tractors were all empty at once, and they were busy in the fields with various machinery!
Those who couldn't hire tractors walked the fields with their oxen.
If the drought continues, it will be fine if the land is not planted.
Now that it has rained heavily and it is still the planting season, resources cannot be wasted and we must find a way to get the seeds into the ground!
The recruitment columns of newspapers are also crowded, and most of them are ordinary people with too much farmland hiring labor!
Pay by the day, work for a day and get a day's pay!
There is no way, time waits for no one!
Even if production is reduced in autumn, there will still be some money left!
After this drenching rain, the grass grows and all kinds of plants grow out of the soil like crazy!
It took the people half a month to plant all the crops in the ground.
The seeds were buried in the moist soil, and within a few days they began to take root and sprout.
What follows is weeding over and over again!
With Daqin's current technology, it is not difficult for the Chinese Academy of Sciences to research pesticides.
But Ying Feiyu didn't do that!
The pesticides and fertilizers of later generations are so harmful to the air and soil that he is not prepared to study them in this era!
Even if that thing can free people's hands and give them more time to do other things!
But once invented, the harm is irreversible.
People eating food with pesticide residues are not good for their health!
He would rather research more machinery that is helpful for agriculture to assist farming, or find ways to lower the price of tractors so that people can afford them.
Just don’t research and produce pesticides!
This is just like plastic bags, which add a little convenience to the people, but cause great pollution!
There is nothing we can do about things like factories. Although they are polluting to a certain extent, they can promote the development of Daqin and are irreplaceable!
Work such as weeding can be done manually, and pesticides are not necessary!
After two months, the crops will gradually grow, and we will no longer be afraid of weeds blocking light and robbing nutrients, and there will be no need to weed again and again!
As the people were busy, time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye it was the time for the previously scheduled sports meeting!
It just so happens that Daqin is full of greenery and the scenery is pleasant!
Athletes selected from various places have arrived in Xianyang early to familiarize themselves with the venue!
Newspapers also began to promote the games!
There is a charge for seats in the sports ground. The most expensive ones cost hundreds of gold, while the lowest ones only cost tens of pennies!
Of course, the ticket price determines the location. The more expensive it is, the higher it is and the most enjoyable it is!
If you are cheap, you can only sit at the back and see someone from a distance.
After the seats, there are many standing spaces, which are free of charge.
As long as the people don't mind being far away, they can stand there and watch!
"The opening ceremony of the sports meeting will be held in three days. I heard that there will be a lot of fireworks. Would you like to watch it together?"
"Go! That must go. Such an exciting thing must go!"
"Yes, so-and-so is going too. You must cheer for our Hengshan team!"
"Yes, yes, I have watched the competition of our Hengshan team. Our athletes are very strong in all aspects and can definitely take first place...!"
After seeing the propaganda in the newspapers, the people did a little research and immediately set off, taking the train to Xianyang.
The scene during the locust plague appeared again in Xianyang City. All the inns were full, and those who came late had no place to stay at all!
So some people took a fancy to this opportunity, let the children at home squeeze in, free up a room, rent it out at a high price, and take the opportunity to make some money!
After the sports meeting is over, use the money to improve the food for the children!
Most of those who can come to watch the sports games are wealthy people from other counties and are willing to spend money.
As long as you have a place to live, the price is negotiable!
The same goes for eating. If there is no room in the restaurant, just go to people’s homes to eat. Just negotiate the price!
Tickets for the games are sold outside the venue, starting three days in advance, and are unavailable elsewhere.
There are ten windows at the ticket office, and there have been no shortage of people since the day the tickets were sold.
Every day, countless people line up at the door to buy seats that suit them!
With such a good opportunity, the scalpers will be very happy!
Try your best to buy front row seats, and then select people who look like they have status to sell them at a high price!
In this day and age, whether a family has money or not can be determined almost at a glance!
As long as you have a fat head, big ears, a tall belly, and are wearing silk and satin, you can basically go wrong!
Most of these people are from aristocratic families. They have been rich since they were young. When others eat bran and throat vegetables, they can't stop eating meat, so they have developed such fat!
I have lived a prosperous life since I was a child, and I am naturally not stingy with money.
As long as the location is good, they are willing to spend any amount of money!
And those who are luxuriously dressed but thin may have started from scratch and only became successful as they got older!
Such people have lived in poverty since childhood and are not generous with money.
It's okay if it's a little more expensive, but if the price is too much higher than the ticket office, they won't do it!
"Brother, do you want to buy a ticket?"
The scalper spotted a strong man and quietly walked over to chat with him.
The man looked him up and down and rolled his eyes disdainfully, "If you don't want to buy a ticket, why don't I come to eat?"
"Haha, big brother is so funny! You can see that big brother is capable. You must buy a seat in the front to watch the game to enjoy it!"
Huang Niu still greeted him familiarly and looked smiling.
The man seemed to disdain to talk to him, rolled his eyes and said nothing.
"Brother is busy, so I won't talk nonsense. To tell you the truth, if you plan to buy a front seat, you can't buy it here. We have already taken care of it, and you can only buy it from us!"
The scalper was honest and told the truth directly.
"oh?"
After hearing this, the sturdy man looked at him seriously.
"I have them in the rows in front of me and in every row. As long as you ask and choose the seat, I can get it for you. Just tell me how much you want to spend!"
The scalper boasted very confidently.
“What’s the price for the second row?”
The man's family has some strength, and he knows that the first row of seats are reserved for dignitaries. As a businessman, he does not dare to overstep his bounds, so he plans to buy a seat in the second row.
"Ah! Big brother! Forgive me for being clumsy, you are really powerful!"
The scalper immediately put on a frightened expression and kept flattering him.
But this is also true.
Ever since he started reselling tickets for sports games, not many people could afford a second-row seat!
"Stop talking nonsense, what's the price?"
The man didn't seem to have the patience to talk nonsense with him, so he said with a cold face.
"Okay, since the eldest brother is so happy, we won't talk nonsense. Our second row seat is 1,500 gold. Now seeing that the eldest brother is so happy, it is fate that we met. We sold it for a fixed price of one thousand gold!"
Huang Niu spoke impassionedly, as if meeting an old friend in a foreign land.
"What? One thousand gold? Why don't you go and grab it? The price announced at the ticket office is only 300 gold for the first and second rows. The third to fifth rows are even cheaper, only 280 gold. You If you open your mouth and ask for a thousand pieces of gold, are you crazy?"
When the men heard the quoted price, they immediately cursed, regardless of whether the whole room was staring at them.
"Hey! If you can't afford it, why are you scolding me?"
The scalper was suddenly scolded, and he felt extremely unwilling to do so. His face immediately changed, and it was no longer the flattering expression just now.
"Scolding you? Scolding you is a minor offense, but I still want to beat you!"
The man immediately raised his arm and was about to throw it at him. Fortunately, the scalper ran fast.
He slipped into the crowd and disappeared without a trace!
Although this deal has not been completed, there are still people who are willing to buy scalper tickets. After all, it is simple and hassle-free. You don’t have to queue up and you can still choose your favorite seats!
In three days, scalpers also made a lot of money!
