Chapter Seventy-One: A New Species
After a while, Choo arrived, and the whole of Anseong was busy. Chen Yuanheng took advantage of the rest day and took the whole family to the grange. The Grange is also busy.
Ziyu, Qingshuang, and Li Huan received them. After they rested, they called Ziyu, Li Laoshi and Li Huan. Chen Yuanheng first asked about the harvest. Li Laoshi just looked at Ziyu, and Ziyu said: "We planted early rice last year, so we have already harvested it this spring, and we have paid all the rent." The tenants also harvested a lot, because they only had to pay 50% of the rent, and we also taught them how to fertilize, so that the crops were more than anywhere else, and they had more left. It's basically enough for a family to eat.
After the spring stubble, we have more than 1,200 acres of land, more than 300 acres of cotton planted, sweet potatoes are willing to grow, originally not much, but after raising seedlings, it is enough to plant more than 20 acres. There is a lot of corn, and the girl said that this thing can't be planted more than one acre, so it should be branched, and I was given the size of the spacing between the rows and the spacing between the plants, so that we can plant more, a total of more than 100 acres, and the rest are planted with soybeans. ”
Chen Yuanheng nodded and asked, "Is the harvest all completed?" ”
Ziyu said: "The harvest is almost complete, and there are more than 100 acres of beans left. The corn, sweet potatoes, and cotton were all harvested, and the seeds were all left. According to what was said at the beginning, this stubble is also half of us and half of the tenants. They didn't know how to use cotton, so we bought it, and the price we gave was a little more than the rice we gave for an acre of land, so we bought it one acre at a time. For example, if we plant ten acres of cotton, we will give us five acres, and if they have five acres left, we will give them a little more money according to the five acres of rice, so that they will be very happy. ”
Bai Shi hurriedly asked: "Then how much cotton have we harvested in total?" ”
Ziyu flipped through the account book and said: "Each mu produces about 200 catties of seed cotton, and after removing the seeds, it is lint, about 80 catties, so this year, we have purchased more than 20,000 catties of lint." ”
Bai Shi laughed when she heard this, no wonder her daughter said that she couldn't use up the quilts and padded jackets for the people in the whole house, more than 20,000 catties. A bed of quilts can make more than 4,000 pieces in six catties, which is really inexhaustible. That's a little bit of money. It is equivalent to spending just more than 150 acres of rice.
Ziyu said again: "We have asked the tenants to remove the seeds of this cotton, and after sorting it out, we think that we can make more cotton from the machine that the girl made last time." In this way, you can make a quilt, you can use it yourself, and let Cuijin Lou sell it. If it's all piled up, where can I put it? ”
Chen Wenhui said: "You put it first, and someone will come to help me get it immediately." ”
Ziyu was surprised, but she didn't say anything. He looked at the account book again and said: "And this sweet potato is really good, it is too willing to grow, one acre of land can produce more than 1,000 catties, and it is delicious, hungry and resistant, the old people in the village say that this is good, and it will be a life-saving thing in the future, and they are not allowed to eat it, so they all leave the seeds, and our part is also sold to farmers." There is also corn, which is also high-yielding, and does not pick the land, one mu can produce more than 500 catties, and they are not willing to eat it, so they are kept as seeds. The corn seed tenants kept some of it, and I kept the rest for the future when the lord enlarged it so that I could sell it as seeds. In this way, the tenants can make some more money. ”
Chen Yuanheng was moved: "This sweet potato can grow so much, more than 1,000 catties per acre, if it is like this, wouldn't the people never go hungry again?" ”
Ziyu said: "Yes, that's why the old people in the village value it." And this sweet potato doesn't pick the ground, even in the ditch, on the slope, and on the sandy ground. In this way, the tenants will have a better life. ”
Chen Yuanheng said: "You have to keep these seeds. Next year, I'm going to promote it on a large scale. ”
Ziyu hurriedly said: "Master, don't worry, we have already built a cellar, and there must be no problem with storing the seeds." ”
Chen Yuanheng nodded.
Ziyu continued: "The rest is soybeans, and we divided fifty percent, and immediately brought them to the oil mill, and the tenants sold them to us except for the seeds." It is estimated that our oil mill this year will not have to buy beans from outside. ”
Chen Yuanheng heard this and thought of a question, and asked Bai: "Madam, you see that one of our Zhuangzi beans is enough for our own oil mill, so the people of Ancheng plant most of the beans this year, won't they be able to sell them again?" ”
Bai Shi smiled and said: "Master, it's too late to worry about it now, I have already discussed it with the Wang family, we don't have anyone in our own hands, and we can't take care of it, so we put the technology of soybean oil squeezing and the Wang family into shares, we don't pay money, because there is technology, we have three floors, and the rest of the oil mills are built by the Wang family, so that the Wang family has already built several oil mills, that is, the beans of Ancheng have been given to him, and he can also use them up." Next to us is Sister Hu's Zhuangzi, where she also planted beans, harvested, and sold to the Wang family, and now the Wang family is very busy these days, harvesting beans. ”
Chen Yuanheng laughed and said, "Fortunately, there is a lady who has taken precautions." But this method is very good, we can't do everything by ourselves, and we don't have enough manpower, so we can manage this mess at the moment. If there is such a thing in the future, it is better to seek cooperation, you don't have to worry about it, how good it is to have white money. ”
Bai pursed his lips and smiled: "Yes, when the beans are harvested, the income of our oil mill will be much more, and the business of selling soybean oil will be much better, so the income will naturally increase." Before, there were many people who wanted to buy our soybean oil from the Wang family, but we only had one oil mill of our own, and the oil output was a lot, and the Wang family itself was not enough to sell, where could we supply others? Now with these oil mills, the Wang family doesn't have to work hard to sell it by itself, and can directly wholesale to the oil merchants, which saves a lot of trouble and makes more money. Therefore, we also made more money, and the Wang family also made more money. ”
Chen Wenhui said at this time: "This is a win-win situation. ”
Chen Wenjun said: "Reciprocity and win-win, this word is good, it is difficult for you to come up with it." ”
Chen Yuanheng said: "Hui'er always speaks amazingly, and we just need to have more of this kind of mutually beneficial and win-win things in the future." ”
Chen Wenhui hurriedly said: "There is a win-win situation right now. ”
Chen Yuanheng said: "So soon, I just said it, you thought of it, what is it?" ”
Chen Wenhui said: "It is our cotton thing, playing cotton, making quilts, and the future cotton promotion, cotton weaving, are all complicated things, if we do it ourselves, we don't have this manpower and energy, besides, we don't have any way to weave, or to cooperate with others, we out of technology, not to work can make money, so it's the best." ”
Bai's eyes lit up, and he immediately said, "Yes, just talk to the Lan family." Didn't he take refuge in his master? There is not much cotton this year, but it is still very profitable to make simple quilts. I found the Lan family, and gave him the technology of playing cotton, and we accounted for the shares, so that he would be in charge of the production and sale, and we would share the money, wouldn't it be good, they could also earn multiple incomes, so that they could make money with us, and others would think that they would have a future with the master. ”
Chen Yuanheng said: "What Madam said is that this is a lot of money. When I return to the city, I will discuss with the head of the Lan family. ”
Bai asked Ziyu again: "How is the business of the hatchery this year?" ”
As soon as it came to the hatchery, Ziyu became proud: "Madam, our hatchery is now famous, and there are so many orders that we can't finish it." This is the account that is reported every month. However, this month's autumn harvest, there are more orders, because many people have money in their hands after the autumn harvest, and they come to buy poultry seedlings to go back to raise. ”
Chen Yuanheng listened and asked Li Huan: "You didn't sell livestock seedlings anymore this year, did you?" ”
Li Huan hurriedly said: "Back to the master, this year the master said, we try not to interfere in this year's loans, so we just took orders for poultry seedlings, and the livestock were not accepted, and there was no way to take over last year." This year, I have introduced all the orders to the livestock traders in the neighboring counties I met last year. These people have cooperated very well with me last year, we also paid on schedule, there is no arrears, very reputable, they all trust me, this year I told them about our construction of the market, they were all interested, came to take a turn and decided to do business here, some rented a bunk, some rented a yard, some sold here, some bought here. Most of them sell livestock seedlings here, and then buy them back as pigs, sheep, and so on. I made money between buying and selling. ”
Chen Yuanheng said: "Yes, the market is thriving now. Listen to those subordinate officials, you have a great merit. ”
Li Huan was embarrassed: "Where do I have any credit, it's not the face of the master." ”
Bai said: "Li Huan, then you are not busy this year, just go and do something for me, right?" ”
Li Huan hurriedly said, "Madame commands." ”
Bai said: "Now is the autumn harvest time, you help me buy some land, and if there is land around our Zhuangzi, we will definitely buy it, how much is it." In addition, you go to the villages around Deqing City to see if there is any land for sale, and it is best to buy a large one. ”
Li Huan hurriedly agreed. Ziyu asked, "Madam, why do we want to buy land in Deqing?" ”
Bai said: "As long as our own people know, the master has been promoted, and he is going to Deqing City to be the prefect." Didn't I prepare first? ”
Ziyu listened, and her eyes moistened with joy. Although she has been by Mrs. side for less in the past two years, but they all came out of the capital, when they followed the master, Mrs. struggled hard in the house, and now the master has been promoted, for them, it is really good news, and their dreams are closer. Ziyu looked at Qingshuang next to her, Qingshuang's eyes were also moist, and she tried her best to keep her tears from falling.
