Chapter 914
"What do you mean by the Sankey Fishpond?" Rimasa was a little puzzled when he heard this.
He understood that the fish pond was a pond for raising fish, but Sankey didn't understand what Sankey was.
After listening to this, Xiao'er briefly explained what a mulberry fish pond is, as well as the benefits of this set of ecological cycles.
"Wonderful! Wonderful! Wonderful! Wonderful! Who thought of this method! Why can't we think of it!" Li Zheng couldn't help but praise after listening to Xiao'er's words: "In that case, in the future, one acre of land will be able to harvest silk and sell fish! This is really a double win!"
Zhu Yan smiled and nodded: "Yes, that's it." Originally, we planned to buy the more than 200 acres of paddy fields from the ones that had already been planted, but the villagers should be reluctant to sell them! If only some people sell them and some people don't, then it will not be convenient to manage the paddy fields in the east and west, so I would like to ask the villagers in a few villages if they would like to build a mulberry fish pond.
"What's not to be happy about! I must be extremely happy! Most of the time, those paddy fields only have a bumper harvest once a year in three years, and they usually don't even have enough food and clothing! If you are not happy about this, what do you want?" replied loudly.
If the villagers were to sell all the fields, they would not be happy, and it is understandable that Li Zheng would sell them, after all, the price of selling this kind of paddy field was not high, and the silver would not be enough to buy another acre of land back.
Although the field is rotten field, whether you can have enough food and clothing depends on whether God rewards your face, but it is good that every year there will be no harvest, right?
In fact, for the field, the people here treat it like a child, although the child is disobedient, not smart, and has no achievements or skills, but the father and mother are still reluctant to ask for him.
Then I was helping to ask the villagers for their opinions. Xiao'er said with a smile.
"Yes, Uncle Zheng is in trouble. Zhu Yan also nodded.
"No problem, it's on me. I just don't know how to calculate the price of silk and fish raised by the villagers?"
When Zhu Yan heard this, he said: "The purchase price of fresh cocoons ranges from 30 to 40 wen per catty, which depends on the quality of fresh cocoons. The purchase price of dried cocoons ranges from 80 to 90 wen per catty, and the purchase price of a catty of silk ranges from 360 to 400 wen. The price range is this, and when the time comes, it will be based on the quality of the price. I'm talking about the price of mulberry silk, not the price of tussah silk. ”
The lowest price of fresh cocoons has gone to 30 Wen, which is not low, and it can be said that it is a very high price.
Li Zheng was very happy to hear this, and there were also people in his family who had raised silkworms, so he probably knew the yield of fresh cocoons: "One acre of mulberry can raise 4 seasons of silkworms a year, and raise 2 to 3 seeds per season, and each can produce about 80 catties of fresh cocoons." How much money was you going to make that year? Let me do the math. ”
"According to 30 Wen a pound of fresh cocoons, raise 4 seasons a year, 2 seeds per season, you can earn 192 taels. Xiao'er quickly said the minimum amount of silver she could earn, and she was a little surprised that silkworms could be raised all year round! The climate and environment here are really very suitable for silkworm raising.
Li Zheng was shocked before he had time to be happy when he heard it, he glanced at Xiao'er quite unexpectedly, he figured it out so quickly?!
Zhu Yan also figured it out just now, she thought she was talented enough in arithmetic, but she didn't expect someone to be faster than herself.
Master Zhu also glanced at Xiao'er in surprise: The future is terrifying, and it is beyond reach!
Shangguan Xuanyi and Jing Rui are accustomed to it.
"However, mulberry fish ponds cannot be compared with traditional mulberry and silkworm farming. Mulberry fish pond is the pond base on the mulberry, mulberry leaves to feed silkworms, silkworm sand fish farming, fish manure fertilizer pond, pond mud mulberry, which is complementary to each other.
Mulberry trees are only planted on the base of the high pond, and the mulberry fish pond is built according to the standard of six bases and four ponds, although the planting area of mulberry trees is less, but the yield of mulberry leaves of each mulberry tree will increase, and I will provide some high-quality mulberry species and silkworm seeds to everyone, those mulberry trees produce higher leaves, and the amount of silk is larger. ”
Li Zheng's eyes lit up when he heard this, what is cultivated from good seeds, the harvest is twice the result with half the effort!
Take a look at those super rice, super wheat, sweet potatoes, potatoes, cotton provided by the imperial court,...... Wait for the seeds to know! Which one grows something that doesn't yield two or three times as much as before?!
Because of these good seeds, I don't know how many people have been full and how many people have been warmed in recent years!
He met a businessman from Nangong Country last year, and he couldn't help but sigh, why was he not born from Min Ze!
By the way, I heard that these seeds were all researched by the Shengping Marquis, that is, the prefect's family!
This prefect can come to them to be the prefect, it is really God's face!
I don't know what kind of good life this prefect can bring to the people here, thinking of this, he is looking at Jing Rui with very eager eyes.
Jing Rui couldn't help but reach out and touch his face when he saw it, thinking that there was something on his face.
"I wonder when Li Zheng can ask the villagers and give us an answer?" Zhu Yan interrupted Li Zheng's gaze.
Li Zheng looked at Zhu Yan, thought about it and said, "The day after tomorrow!"
Transforming the field into a mulberry fish pond and raising fish and silkworms without growing grain, Li Zheng estimates that there will be some villagers who will not agree, but it doesn't matter, with his three-inch tongue, he will definitely be able to convince them within a day!
"Well, we'll come back the day after tomorrow. ”
"Since it's a mulberry fish pond, which raises both fish and silkworms, what about the fish?
"Harvest, you can dig the pond a little deeper and raise more dace. Dace can be polycultured with grass carp and crucian carp. ”
"Is it a long, two-finger-sized dace?" Rimasa stretched out three fingers and compared, and found that it was wider, and put away another finger, and stretched out only two fingers.
Xiao'er glanced at it and nodded: "Yes, it's best to have dace that weighs only one or two to two." ”
Dace that is too big does not easily fry the bones to crispy.
"There are a lot of dace in the river, and the children in the village often catch them, and there are a lot of fish bones, and many people don't like to eat them!
There are many fish bones, and children can easily get stuck in their throats when they eat fish bones, and they will not cough up, which is too dangerous, so everyone does not like to eat them.
There are children who catch this kind of fish and cook it directly in water, and they don't put oil and salt, and they are only used to feed cats and dogs. ”
Xiao'er really didn't know about this, but dace made into tempeh dace tasted very good, it went well with rice, and even the bones could be eaten!
There are also a few lactating women who boil the fried fish on both sides into a milky white fish soup and drink a lot of milk.
"Then how much do you sell dace for a pound here?"
"No one sells it, and no one will buy it for a penny or a pound! If you don't have meat to eat, will you buy it back and eat the bones?"
Xiao'er: "......"
