Chương 138: Chapter 0138 Harvest
The ox cart slowly moved down the road, and Lv Shangjing silently watched.
Because they are built in a unified way, the houses are identical and orderly arranged, with five households in a row and two opposite, but ten households have one fire, with one fire length, five fires and one armour length.
Three hundred households were divided into six households, and this ten thousand acres of land was divided out. Now that spring has arrived, the mountain vines have returned to their lush state and covered the fields.
Farmers are still digging water channels.
This winter comes early and goes late, with a new wave of spiritual energy tide on the Blackwater Ocean. The imperial capital is still covered in silver, and Yingzhou has welcomed warm and humid water vapor. However, the cold air from the northern desert does not immediately fade away, so warm and cold fronts alternate on the Great Plains, strangling each other.
This month's spring cold season may be bad news for ordinary farmers, but it's best for sweet potatoes... As a short day crop, the greater the temperature difference between day and night, the faster the tuber swelling - in contrast, weeds, which are the easiest to seize potato seedling resources, are at a disadvantage.
Last winter, collective labor was carried out to clear the frozen soil that made it difficult to continue construction on the branch water channels, roads, water trucks, houses, and relocated households in Nanlian Mountain. Everything was completed in an orderly manner before the beginning of spring.
Now, thousands of acres of sweet potato seedlings have awakened from the harsh winter weather and continue to grow. Insects have been frozen to death in waves of repeated cold cycles, freeing tenants from the heaviest tasks of weeding and pest control, allowing them to devote their time and energy to cleaning up the remaining branch canals.
I saw the river winding away, with a row of drainage trucks built on the embankment, ten meters high, which looked very spectacular. Everything else was closed, except for three with gates open, so there was no need to use so much water at this time.
L ü Shangjing shouted, "Stop
I immediately got off the car and carefully examined one. I saw the water wheel spinning and making a "clacking" sound. The bamboo tubes on the wheels kept pouring the river water into the canal, which continued into the distance.
Not far away, there were more than a dozen children playing and frolicking. L ü Shangjing watched and thought to herself, "Weaving households with military methods, opening canals for farming, my lord's talent is really great
Unfortunately, the evil energy in this field has not dissipated yet, otherwise there will be ten thousand acres of fertile land immediately
I got on the ox cart and headed towards the land of Yi Jia.
Along the way, at the crossroads, fifty households were neatly arranged, with a huge grain drying field, grain warehouse, armored yard, patrol yard, and a grocery store and hotel in the middle.
Not far away, there is a well made entirely of green bricks, on which a well pavilion is built to shelter from wind and rain, and a pulley is set up to lift water. Lv Shangjing inspected it and nodded in satisfaction when she saw the clear water in the well.
At this moment, some craftsmen were still building shrines, with low specifications but well thought out. Lv Shangjing arrived at the sentry post again, climbed upstairs, and looked around.
I saw thousands of people busy on the emerald green fields, with thousands of acres in irregular leaf shape, bounded by the southern silt river. The main canal extends northward to Xinzhuang, and branch canals and small canals spread on both sides. The complete irrigation water network has basically taken shape - such smooth leaf veins can theoretically support thick leaf flesh, and the future of paddy fields is not a dream.
The climate is already in place, and it will not disappoint. The only concern is that this bad land has just shown signs of recovery. When will it truly turn into fertile land
Just as they were pondering, two tenants brought over a large basket and "blasted" it down, shouting excitedly, "Mr. Lv, come and take a look. This is the first basket of freshly cut sweet potatoes, fantastic
Oh. "Sweet potatoes are planted in winter and harvested in spring, and are generally harvested in March. It's a bit early now, but it's not a problem to harvest a batch first. Lv Shangjing went down to take a closer look.
I saw the potatoes neatly arranged and large, with snow-white skin that was smooth and without cracks when touched, which was rare. I couldn't help but believe it: "Is it all like this in the field
All of them! "The younger tenant responded loudly, his face flushed with excitement." They are the first batch collected from various fires, and I haven't had a chance to choose yet. This kind of appearance is one out of a hundred in the mountains, without insects biting or poisonous gas seeping in. Even people can eat it... When I came here, I heard it was a bad place. If there is such a bad place that specializes in growing sweet potatoes, Young Master Qing won't lose out on buying it
Let's not see who made the decision to buy it, it's Young Master Qing! Can we lose money? You're just making noise... "One person sneered disdainfully.
I'm just being loyal, that... Geng Geng, hurry for the young master
I think you're in a hurry about the Yue family, right? Shuiling's wife hasn't even left yet, and she's been weeding and digging ditches for them every few days. Those who don't know might think you're their son-in-law
You're blushing
L ü Shangjing could no longer hear the argument. As soon as she lifted her robe, she ran to the nearest field and dug in the mud with her hands following the vines. She dug out a snow-white sweet potato several times, then threw it away and dug up several more, even bigger.
In an instant of confusion, joy surged in, causing him to bury his head deeply and greedily breathe the fragrance of the soil... The taste had changed.
The sluggish tenant behind him was still arguing about the "evil land that specializes in growing high-quality mountain potatoes", and Lv Shangjing could only find it ridiculous in his ears, but if he really wanted to think deeply, his body and mind trembled uncontrollably.
Ten thousand acres of paddy fields, even top-quality ones... "After a moment, Ye Qing's calm and confident expression came to mind. Lv Shangjing regained her senses and nodded at the two of them," You guys go and invite Mr. San over. Is Lady Qian still in the study? Please come over too
The two of them understood, mounted their horses and galloped back.
Everyone in the clan knows that Young Master Qing has not yet married, and favoring Qianqian is the top priority. This is a bond of unwavering loyalty during times of turmoil, deeply trusted by Young Master Qing. He even specializes in hanging books on the walls to cultivate and study
Various special circumstances gradually gave her corresponding voice in the inner court and major foreign affairs.
As for Ye Zifan, he is the representative of the clan leader and involved in such great interests, he has to be invited.
L ü Shangjing threw the mountain potatoes into the basket and cheered as she looked at the fields. She calmed down and said, "If necessary, even the Cao family, the mother of the Lord, must be brought in, but we haven't reached this point yet. There's no need to notify the Cao family fan
Remembering something, he ordered, "Quickly call for manpower and collect a portion of the land first. Before Madam Qianqian and San Lao Che arrive, I want to see the yield data per mu
Half an hour later, Ye Zifan and Qianqian arrived.
Ye Zifan had a decent demeanor, wearing a beige cotton robe. His hair was only half white due to his wife and son's affairs, which made people feel pity. However, at this moment, he was carefully examining the condition of Shanshu.
There is still half a month left before large-scale vine planting, but for just one piece of land, the harvest is two hundred catties, and that one acre is two thousand catties
This is higher than the predicted standard of 1500 pounds when the lord was about to leave, and it is a high-quality mountain potato that can be eaten by humans, "said Lv Shangjing.
Qian Qian came back to her senses and frowned: "This is a Dafengshou (Salad of assorted fresh vegetables), but it is still over now. After half a month, the vine will grow on a large scale. I'm afraid that the county will pay attention to it. I hope my uncle will mobilize the family to protect each other."
This is normal! "Ye Zifan snapped back to his senses and showed a hint of joy." Two thousand catties per acre, ten thousand acres equals twenty million catties. The raw materials for this distillery, at least for us, don't need to be purchased
Ye Zifan turned around, feeling tired but still pondering, "Take me back to Jiali to have a look
Yes! "The group walked along the canal, looking at the fields, canals, deep wells, houses, roads, and warehouses one by one. Ye Zifan nodded from time to time and sighed inwardly.
When Lv Shangjing first invited him, his nephew gave him 300 acres of fertile land in one breath and appointed him to manage the farming. Ye Zifan was a bit indifferent and felt that it was too late, but he didn't want everything to be so orderly in just half a year. With his own experience, he was afraid he was really lagging behind.
Ye Zifan remembered something and asked, "Vines have started in March. Do you want to continue growing sweet potatoes or switch to rice
L ü Shangjing pondered deeply for a moment before saying, "Third Master, I think it's better to plant sweet potatoes
Why? "Ye Zifan remained calm and only nodded slightly to indicate that he had heard, asking.
Firstly, the main reason is that these ten thousand acres of land have not yet dissipated their evil energy and are only suitable for planting sweet potatoes
My lord has set a three-year plan for brewing wine. Upon hearing of the conflict between Northern Wei and this dynasty, whether it's keeping warm or cleaning wounds, the demand for strong liquor has increased, making it the biggest source of wealth
Using grains to make wine can harm farmers and villages, and can also easily provoke criticism. Giving people a handle and saying that a single order from a prefecture or county can sweep away dust, using these mountain potatoes that are not within the scope of grain control is not harmful. Even if there are a few villains, as long as the festival is not bad, the position of Lord Jieyuan can withstand it. Therefore, there is currently a shortage of mountain potatoes, and the overall strategy cannot be changed
Moreover, planting rice is a significant change. San Ye, don't be fooled by the well-organized nature of these ten thousand acres of fertile land, but everything is still in its infancy with endless problems and shallow foundations. These internal affairs are nothing, there is always a solution. If the county regards fertile land as such, it will be completely different, but it will cross the bottom line of the Red Mansion
My lord is rushing to the capital for an exam, and at this critical moment, how can there be any setbacks? I have learned a little about the way of luck and know that stability is more important than speed. Although the harvest of sweet potatoes in these ten thousand acres of mountains may not be as good as ten thousand acres of fertile land, it is still considerable. However, once there is a change, although it is beneficial in the long run, it may not only fail to support my lord in the short term, but opposing him may also damage my luck
I was originally a commoner, but my late father died in debt and I have been in poverty for more than ten years. I was appreciated by my lord, and with this great kindness... I can only repay it with my own efforts! "Lv Shangjing said with a dignified tone," I have to consider everything for my lord. If it delays his future, I will die and cannot redeem it
This is a clear statement that I am a vassal of Ye Qing, not a vassal of the Ye clan.
After a moment of silence, Ye Zifan said, "I can tell that what you're saying is from the bottom of your heart. That's very good. As long as you put your heart into farming, how can I hold you back? Since Qing'er has entrusted all the farming to you, I won't interfere and disrupt Qing'er's plan
L ü Shangjing listened and deeply thanked him, "Thank you, Third Master, for your understanding and kindness. I will do my best to develop this farming area
Ye Zifan nodded with satisfaction and said, "As for the county, don't worry, I will handle it myself
Yes! "Lv Shangjing responded, her eyes shining brightly, giving the impression of being ten years younger.
Qianqian, who had been silent all along, had a smile in her heart. Compared to Mr. Lv's initial difficulties, the young master once said, "Career is a good medicine for men
Remembering that there were still a few months left in the past, I became melancholic again. Standing on the field road, I looked at the sunset to the west and said, "I don't know how the young master is doing. When will he come back
In silence, I saw the ten thousand acres of qi, which was originally gray and white, but now a faint white qi rose up and converged into a piece, disappearing into the void.
