Chapter 255: Crop Promotion
"I don't know what my cousin likes!" Li Xin was a little stunned, she really didn't think about preparing a gift for Ling Ziye. The main thing is that she doesn't know what he's going to like, and it's not good to prepare a gift at all.
The girls can send some needlework to each other, but they can't give these things to him! It's not good for a woman to casually give the embroidery work she does to a man other than a relative, although Ling Ziye is her cousin, even if she is a relative, she can also send it. But he doesn't need those things!
The people of the Ling family, there are slaves and maids around the master who specialize in needlework, and every master also has a good needlework. Ling Ziye's things are all done by special people, and it is not her turn to help do any embroidery work.
"You just don't know what I like, so it's better to make me two kinds of needlework! Everyone else has it, why don't you have mine! ”
"Where do you need me to do it! In the Ling family, there are many people vying to do it for you! Li Xin glanced at Ling Ziye.
"How can other people's work be compared to yours, you just do two things for me, everyone else has it, I'm still here! You didn't even think to prepare me with a gift. ”
"Alright! I'll do it for you when I'm free! Li Xin smiled and agreed.
Yin Liuchen glanced at Ling Ziye with a deep expression, but he didn't say anything.
Everyone sat for a while, and Ling Ziye and Ling Feifei should also leave. Li Xin and the others also sent them out, and the carriage was already waiting outside.
"Okay, then let's go, Xin Yao, you will go to the capital when you are free, grandmother, she misses you very much." Ling Ziye said with a smile.
Li Xin nodded slightly, "Okay, when I wait a few years ago, if I am free, I will definitely go to the capital." Cousin, Fei Fei, you should be more careful along the way, and take care of your health. Li Xin smiled and hugged Ling Feifei into the carriage. Mama Zhong, Hongyu, and Luzhu also followed into the carriage.
"Cousin, I'm waiting for you to celebrate the New Year with us!" Ling Feifei waved at Li Xin in the carriage.
"Okay, when I go to the capital, I'll bring Wenbo and them with me, and it won't be too long before we can meet again."
"Ziye, take care." Yin Liuchen patted Ling Ziye's shoulder.
"Let's leave our mother-in-law, let's go, see you another day." Ling Ziye turned over and got on his horse.
The group finally left, but after a while, they disappeared from sight. Li Xin also took the rest of the people back into the courtyard. After so many people left at once, the house suddenly became quiet, and the silence was a little scary. The sudden silence after the excitement is really a bit overwhelming.
Ling Feifei's master and servants have also lived here for more than half a year, and they have already integrated into this family, and they suddenly left, as if they were suddenly a little uncomfortable.
Habits are really scary stuff.
"Eldest sister, will Sister Fei Fei come to our house in the future?" Yue Ting raised her head to look at Li Xin.
"It'll be! After all, there will be a time to meet in the future, and we should not be unhappy. Li Xin smiled with relief.
"Yes! If you are fated, there will still be a time to meet after all, so even if you part, you don't have to be sad. Yin Liuchen smiled and comforted.
Sitting down in the courtyard, Li Xin asked Yin Liuchen: "Now, my cousin has also left, and the inn in the town is empty." Do you want to move to the inn now? The village is separated from the town by some distance, and it will be a little inconvenient to live in the village all the time. ”
Actually, if Li Xin were to say it, there was no need for Yin Liuchen to stay here at all. Returning to the capital, life is not more comfortable. Because of the problem of crop promotion, seeds are limited now, and the promotion is not fast even if you want to! He is not the kind of person who can hide his own secrets, as long as the crops can be promoted, he will naturally promote them, and there is no need to keep Yin Liuchen here to supervise.
However, she can't say that, people come to supervise her, and it is also by the emperor's will, and she is not good at driving people away casually. Moreover, if she let him leave at this time, I am afraid that it will be difficult for him to go back.
For the sake of him saving her once, she will take care of him for a while!
"Actually, it's nice that I live in the village, which is quieter over there. There are people coming and going in the inn, and it's not good to live for a long time. ”
"Since it is the Dusty Boy who lives, where he wants to live, it is naturally the Dusty Boy who has the final say. Since you like to live in the village, let's do it first! Li Xin thought about it, it was indeed not good to live in the inn all the time. Anyway, inns are all open places, and the feeling of living at home is different.
Since Yin Liuchen is quite satisfied with the house in Osmanthus Village, let him live there! There was no need to rearrange his accommodation, and it saved her some trouble.
"I don't know what arrangements Miss Xin Yao will make next? The autumn harvest is about to begin, and after that, the planting of the year is also over. If you want to arrange the crops to be planted next year, the next few months are naturally the most suitable. ”
"Now that sweet potatoes have been promoted, the yield is so amazing, you don't need to say anything to naturally plant them. The matter of sweet potatoes, the dust boy doesn't have to worry about it anymore. Next, there are a lot of pumpkin seeds, but they are only vegetables, and they can be planted and eaten, but there is no need to plant them on a large scale. In the same way, the same is true for tomatoes and peppers, and these seasonings have also begun to be planted in Osmanthus Village, and it doesn't take too much time to spread them. Li Xin analyzed the same thing, the novel crops in the house are actually limited, and speaking of which, it will not take a few years to slowly spread.
If you are in the south, you can naturally spread from your own house, from the place where you are located. On the northern side, Yin Tianchen brought a lot of sweet potato and corn seeds to the north, and he thought that if he came to the north, it would soon spread. In fact, corn is more suitable for planting in the north, because there are some places where rice cannot be grown, but if you plant corn, the harvest will be good.
In the south, water is convenient, and the yield of rice is not bad, but in fact, most of the people have no problem filling their stomachs.
"Miss Li said this, didn't I stay without something to do? It's just that it's not appropriate for me to go back like this, and if I go back after a trip, I definitely won't be able to make a difference. ”
"No, don't worry, my words haven't been spoken yet." Li Xin smiled lightly and signaled Yin Liuchen to be restless. "Then there is corn and potatoes, corn is a very good thing to grow, and the land requirements are not too high. Last year, I gave most of the corn seeds to Yin Tianchen, and what I left behind was a little seed that my family needed. This year, I have gained a lot, and although I sold a lot when I was young, there are still a lot of seeds that remain. If the Dust Boy wants to promote it, the corn is good.
"Let's talk about potatoes, potato seeds are different from corn, and the seeds collected from one acre of land can be planted many acres. Of course, many acres of potatoes can be planted on one acre of land, but it is not very convenient to store potatoes, and if you keep them for a year, I am afraid that you will not be able to keep too many good ones. However, there are some ways to plant this time of year, and then find some places to plant at other times, so that there will be new potatoes every year. What is dug up here can be sent to another place to make seeds, but in this case, there is a problem of transportation, which is also a big problem. ”
"In the case of Miss Xinyao, the only thing I can manage is corn?"
"First of all, let's promote corn first! Others take their time, maybe unconsciously, and spread to many places! By the way, the yield of rice grown in my home is also higher than that of the rice grown by everyone, and this can also be promoted. After all, in Jiangnan, every household grows rice, and there are so many rice fields, as long as the yield of rice is higher than usual, it is also a big deal. ”
"What Miss Xin Yao said about the high yield of rice is true?" Yin Liuchen looked at Li Xin in surprise. The issue of wanting to make crops yield high has not been brought up by anyone, and the imperial court is also an agricultural official, who is in charge of crops. However, in order to make crops highly productive, many people have raised this question, but how to do it is always at a loss.
Everyone's idea is to fertilize the fields more! Good weeding, careful management. When there should be water, we must do a good job of irrigation, and when there should not be water, there should be no water. Under strict management, the field of Shiyàn is indeed a bit high-yielding, but it cannot be promoted nationwide, and the fields and environments are different in different places, and many things are difficult to grasp.
At the end of the day, there's no practical way to do it.
Therefore, when there are more high-yield crops, it can be imagined how big the shock to the imperial court will be. It is indeed a major event for the benefit of the country and the people, so the saint is so happy, and the reward for Miss Xin Yao is also very generous.
However, if you can really make the existing crops more productive, it is also a serious thing!
"Nature is real, I have planted it at home, nature is real. And Zhuangzi is about to harvest rice, so the young man can go over and take a look for himself. The yield is about three times that of ordinary rice, and even more than three times in places with better management. ”
"It's so good that when it's time to harvest the rice, I really should go and have a look. If Miss Xin Yao goes to Zhuangzi, you have to take me with you! ”
"Good! If I want to go to Zhuangzi, I will definitely call the young man with me. ”
Yin Liuchen had been in the town for lunch before going to Osmanthus Village again. And in Li Xin's house, it was quiet all of a sudden, Li Xin didn't have anything to do, so he took Yuexiang and Yueting to do needlework quietly. Originally, Ling Ziye came to pick up Ling Feifei back, and she was going to go to the wasteland as much as possible.
But now that Yin Liuchen is here, since he wants to see the yield of rice, he should wait until the rice harvest time to go to Zhuangzi to live for two days, and then think about going to the wasteland. R1152
