Chapter 536: Corn also has a share
Daddy Han pointed to the bag on the ground, "That's all, you can recognize it when you see it, but you can plant it." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"
The two men hurriedly squatted down, opened the bag, took out the seeds, looked at them, and said with a smile, "Master, this is winter wheat." ”
Daddy Han heard that it was nothing, but Han Chuxue and Yang Debiao were overjoyed when they heard it, "Are you sure it's winter wheat?" ”
Knowing that Han Chuxue's identity was the second miss, the two tenant farmers didn't dare not answer, "Second miss, it is indeed winter wheat." ”
Yang Debiao suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, since he knew that this wheat was still divided into spring and winter, he had been worried that what he got back was spring wheat that was not delicious with flour, but unfortunately he couldn't find someone who could tell the difference in Huaiji, fortunately, these are winter wheat, otherwise he would be embarrassed to see the second girl.
Seeing that there seemed to be something wrong with the expressions of the two of them, Daddy Han and the others hurriedly asked.
Han Chuxue smiled and said that the wheat was divided into spring and winter, and the two tenant farmers also nodded again and again when they heard this, "The second lady said very much, this spring wheat is actually only grown in the bitter cold land of the far north, and they don't have enough to eat themselves, so they won't sell it at all, and the taste of this spring wheat is indeed worse than winter wheat, so the people in the capital don't like to eat it." ”
This also just explains why Yang Debiao, an illiterate person, was able to buy the right seeds by mistake, because no one in the capital would grow spring wheat at all, and naturally there would be no spring wheat seeds to sell.
Daddy Han and the others, who didn't know about it, suddenly gained insight again.
Xiuniang smiled, "Don't you say it, we really don't know that there is such a difference between this wheat, and we think that this delicious white flour is all ground from a kind of wheat." ”
Perhaps he talked about something he was familiar with, or perhaps after such a conversation, he also found that the new master's family was not difficult to get along with, and the two tenant farmers also let go a lot.
One of them took out a handful of corn from another bag and smiled at everyone, "Sir, madam, in fact, not only this wheat is divided into spring and winter, but also this corn is also divided, you see, this is spring corn." ”
Now not only Han Daddy is interested, but Han Chuxue is also curious, she has not eaten less corn in modern times, but she really never knew that this corn was also divided into spring and winter.
"Could it be that this corn also has varieties that can overwinter?"
The tenant farmer suddenly laughed, "Second Miss, this corn can't overwinter. ”
Another also smiled, "This corn is divided into spring corn and autumn corn, spring corn is planted from late April to early May, and can be harvested in late August, while autumn corn should be planted at least in July, and can be harvested in mid to late October, because the growth time is relatively short, so the yield of autumn corn will not be as good as spring corn, but it is not lower than general grain." ”
I see, Han Chuxue, who finally figured it out, shook his head and laughed, "Sure enough, it's better to read 10,000 books than to travel 10,000 miles, if it weren't for my father who got these seeds from the capital, we really didn't know that in addition to rice, there was grain that could be planted for two seasons." ”
Yushu and several people nodded in agreement, especially the Yushu brothers, who had already decided in their hearts that they would have the opportunity to follow Brother Yang to run a business and increase their knowledge in the future.
Knowing that the seeds he brought back were of great use, Father Han was very happy, and hurriedly asked Cai Ji to put these seeds away and plant them during the sowing season.
Cai Ji hurriedly responded, and after letting people carry these bags of seeds, he asked, "Master, I don't know how these lands will be distributed next year, and what things will be planted?" ”
Daddy Han blinked, so much land still has to be allocated for planting.
"How was the Luo family distributed before?"
"The soil quality of this Zhuangzi is good, but there is no river and other water sources nearby, so it can only dig wells to get water, so it is not suitable for planting rice, but the price of rice in the capital is expensive, and the field tax here is also millet, so most of the previous lords planted upland rice, and also planted some sweet potatoes and sorghum, mainly for the people in the Zhuangzi to eat, and the winter planting is mostly rape."
In other words, corn and wheat are not expensive because there are many people growing them in the capital, so the Luo family does not want to occupy the land here to plant.
Daddy Han took a few steps forward, grabbed a handful of mud and looked at it, the soil quality is really good, and it is suitable for planting upland rice, but he already has two hundred acres of high-quality paddy fields, and this millet actually does not have to worry, but it is white flour and corn, which are actually very few people in the area, and if they grow it themselves, they don't have to worry about not being able to sell it.
After thinking about it, he walked back and discussed it in a low voice with Xiuniang and the children for a while, and then turned around and said.
"How much is the field tax of this Zhuangzi?"
Cai Ji responded, "Because this Zhuangzi is far away from the water source, it is designated as a low-class field, and the tax rate is thirty taxes and one. ”
When the family heard this tax rate, they couldn't help but laugh even if it was cold and snowy.
Thirty tax one, that is to say, the output of one stone, only need to pay a little more than three liters of grain, and this field tax is different from the farmer's Ding tax, not according to the head, but completely according to the mu, which is why the wasteland is so difficult to get a title deed.
Although there is no water source in this manor, there are so many wells around it, and it is obvious that the underground water source is quite sufficient, and the soil quality has just been seen by Daddy Han, which is close to the first-class field, so the yield of this mu is close to three stones, but it only needs to pay about one bucket of grain per mu, and eight hundred acres of land is less than eighty stones of tax grain, which is equivalent to the output of about twenty-seven acres.
Twenty-seven to eight hundred, how much is left over.
Daddy Han immediately made a decision, "Starting next year, I will plant 100 acres of upland rice, 50 acres of sweet potatoes, 50 acres of soybeans, all the seeds that were handed over to you just now, and the rest of the land will be planted with peanuts." ”
Cai Ji was stunned, "Whole peanuts? ”
Daddy Han nodded affirmatively, "That's right, whole peanuts." ”
This peanut can be squeezed for oil, and it should be promoted next year, and then its own peanut oil can be sold.
Now that the peanut oil matter has not spread, Cai Ji doesn't know, not only him, but even the Tang family wonders why the master wants to plant so many peanuts, but as subordinates, they also understand that the master's affairs are not something they can talk about, so they feel strange in their hearts and don't ask.
After confirming it and making sure that he heard it correctly, Cai Ji should also receive the order.
Daddy Han remembered something again, "By the way, the winter wheat I just talked about is about to be planted." ”
The two tenants who came out of the list should be busy.
"Well, you can see how much land you can plant with those seeds, plant them all, and if they are not enough, shovel the rape fields that have been planted."
Although it is a pity, this wheat represents the white flour of white flowers, which is loved by his wife and children, and Daddy Han will not feel sorry for those rape.
Since the master was not heartbroken, Cai Ji and the tenant farmers had nothing to say, so they were busy answering yes. (To be continued.) )
