Chapter 285: The Great Fire

The peppers had been harvested before the autumn harvest, and Li Yao felt that there were fewer peppers harvested, so she couldn't help but think of planting vegetables in the greenhouse, so that the peppers and potatoes might be able to be planted for another season. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info, but the conditions at this time obviously don't allow Li Yao to toss like this. There is no tarpaulin, and she doesn't know how to grow vegetables in greenhouses, so she is still thinking about whether she should try planting them, maybe she will try other vegetables first. She talked to Fu Jingheng about this, and Fu Jingheng said: "In the twenty-sixth year of Emperor Xuande, there were eunuchs in the palace who planted green leafy vegetables in winter, and they will be planted every year, maybe you can give it a try." ”

But it turned out that there were also greenhouses in ancient times, but the brick walls and straw curtains used at that time were just straw curtains.

This year, the Fu family planted two acres of rice, which were still planted in the high-quality fields and carefully cared for, but the harvest was very unsatisfactory. The lowest yield per mu of rice in Nandi is about two stones, while the yield of rice in these two acres is less than half a stone.

One stone is ten buckets and one hundred and twenty catties, which means that the yield of two acres of rice is nearly sixty catties.

These sixty catties of rice are enough for seven people in the Fu family's big house to eat for eight days, and they can't eat enough. It is obviously not ideal to feed people with such a yield per mu.

"Although it is small, but it can be planted, we will keep the good seeds of these rice and plant them again next year, so that these good seeds may adapt to the local climate in the future, and then slowly maybe it will be better."

Fu Jingheng has been silent for a lot of time recently, although he has not seen him gloomy, but the unhappiness can always be felt. Li Yao was still confident that rice could be grown in this place, so she comforted Fu Jingheng.

Then she remembered the Annan rice that was introduced by the people there when she was in Yazhou, and according to the locals, the rice was cold resistant and barren, and it was better to grow than the local rice. So she mentioned to Fu Jingheng that if she tried to plant rice in two different places, maybe she could grow a suitable one.

Although Li Yao said that he didn't know how to farm, he knew some famous allusions in history. As far as she knows, from the end of the Tang Dynasty to the Song Dynasty, North China had introduced Zhancheng rice in Fujian, and that kind of rice was very famous for its cold-resistant and good varieties, and a certain place in the Northeast had also paid tribute to the imperial court in the Tang Dynasty, so Beidi must be able to grow rice, so she made this suggestion.

Although Shilin was not sure that it was a good place in the northeast, it felt like some in terms of climate, so she suggested it.

Past tribulations will inevitably enrich a person's experience, as long as that person has never given up on perseverance. Therefore, the experience in Yazhou left Li Yao not only with pain, but also with some experience and insight that others could not get.

As long as he can plant, Fu Jingheng will definitely not give up planting. He saw that Li Yao was worried about him, so he would try his best to say some positive words to comfort him, so he smiled and said, "It's all up to you." If it is planted well, it will also be good for the local people. The price of local rice is too high. It is not easy to farm the land, if it is a family that cannot afford to eat, where dare we take two acres of high-quality land and waste it like this. ”

After speaking, he mentioned the Gu family's uncle again, and his tone was a little worried.

After calculating it, Gu Ning, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, that is, Gu Jingheng's uncle, should have arrived after the autumn harvest, but Gu Ning delayed coming to the stone forest. At this time, the government had already posted an official document, that is, to summon the people of the state and the neighboring state capitals to serve in the conscription and open mountains and build roads.

The bitter cold in this place of the stone forest is definitely not something that ordinary people can resist, not to mention that many people choose to eat cats in winter is not because they are lazy, but because they are poor and can't afford to buy cotton clothes and fur to wear, so they have to spend more money on cat winter at home to prevent frostbite. Not only do people who are poor not have warm clothes, but they don't even dare to get sick.

If so, who wouldn't want to have a cat winter at home in the big winter? But the court has an order, and the people can't do it if they don't come out to serve.

Prior to this, Li Yao deliberately set a brand of Fu Yuanxiang for her own wool, and forgave her for her incompetence in naming her, so she had to plagiarize Hengyuanxiang's classics, and also tampered with other people's classic advertising words, that is, Yang Yang Yang, Fu Yuanxiang.

She also discussed the trademark with Fu Jingheng, and the trademark is three fat sheep plus the word Fuyuanxiang, and these trademarks are sewn on woolen goods.

Then she told Ji Moxuan that he must keep the skin in his hand during this time, not only for himself, but also to buy the local leather goods in Yuyan as much as possible. Ji Moxuan didn't have so much money to buy other expensive skins, but he could always buy some cheap skins like rabbit fur.

And not only did she let Ji Moxuan do it, but she and Han Jin and her mother's family did the same. At the same time, Li Yao hired idle people in the tunzi and began to make bamboo sticks for her according to her requirements, and she collected as many as she could. The more you do, the more you get paid.

At the same time, the people in their workshop began to knit gloves, hats, socks and other things, and after such gloves, hats and socks were knitted, they had to sew all kinds of leather.

Even if you wear a double-layer sweater to go out in the winter, it is not enough to keep out the cold, so the sweater and leather are sewn together, which is a good way to keep warm.

At this time, Li Yao's woolen trade could no longer be suppressed, so he had to start selling it when he didn't find the power to contain Mrs. Tang.

Yes, big sale sale!

It is said that the cheapest wool in Li Yao's woolen workshop is not expensive. Winter is very cold, and it is more cost-effective to buy it to weave it into a thick garment in double layers than to buy the cheapest leather to make clothes.

It is for this reason, and because wool is indeed a special need for many people, so the thousands of preparations that were made at this time finally showed an explosive fire.

Wool is divided into three grades from the quality and color, and each grade is subdivided into grades, those who have money wear good woolen fabrics, and those who don't have money wear ordinary lower grades.

I don't know why there were no such things as gloves in ancient times, so Li Yao asked the women in the workshop to knit gloves, hats, socks and other small things to sell.

She only did this to make money on the novelty item once. She knew that once the gloves were sold, someone would soon imitate them.

As for the big sweaters, she wasn't ready to make that money. She focused all her energy on baking bread, managing the dried vegetable shop, the rice shop, the Changxing restaurant and the woolen workshop, but she was too busy to hire people and manage people to do this, and she couldn't make all the money.

So she told the women in the tunzi about the sale, and asked them to make money by weaving sweaters. There are so many herdsmen tribes in Yuyan and even the entire stone forest, and there are various dairy products such as cheese and butter in the herdsmen tribes. That's why Li Yao studied baking bread.

Soon, because of the big sales of wool, Yuyan also derived a profession locally, that is, to weave sweaters for people.

Those civilians who serve, they all come here to serve alone, and they don't drag their families with them. They do a whole day's work during the day, and at night, where do they still have the heart to knit their own sweaters? So I had to spend some money and ask a skillful woman to weave it. In addition to these ordinary people who served, there were also many unmarried families in the barracks, and there were no women in the family, and they would also hand over the sweater knitters to some women.

If the woman is ingenious, she can also make patterns of wool, and she can get a single job that is higher than ten copper plates. (To be continued.) )
