In addition to explaining to the monks, Bai Ji will also take the time to look at Qin Lu. According to Chun Yuyue's statistics, there are more than 11,000 households in Jingyang County. In addition to the aborigines, there were also wealthy merchants who migrated from the Six Kingdoms. More than 30,000 people, which is still quite a lot.

He asked Shang Niu to find an old farmer who was good at farming in Jingyang. Farming is a technical job, and some people plant well and others don't plant well.

Bai Ji roughly calculated, and now he has about two hundred stone potatoes in his hand. For normal seeding, one acre of land requires three to five stone potatoes. That is, you can cultivate forty acres of land!

It's a good time now, and you can harvest it in two months. If you dig deep and make some fertilizer, you can have more than 1,000 stone grain seeds after winter! Bai Ji kept a few of them for himself to improve and temper the immortal method. After the planting comes out, send some to the fat man.

Lu Jiang is a good hand, these days Bai Ji said, he doesn't need to do anything, just take someone to make Quyuan plow. Make a plow and reward ten dollars. All the materials and everything were provided by Bai Ji, and now there are about 20 shelves.

Temporarily selected in Jingshuiting, 40 peasant households were selected. Five stones of potatoes for one person, if you plant well, you will be rewarded.

……

Bai Ji sat in a carriage and had already arrived at the Surabaya Pavilion.

This place belongs to the range of Baiji's food estate, and his food town is 3,000 households. That is, these 3,000 households do not need to pay taxes to the Qin State, and they can be handed over directly to Baiji. The other is the need to pay according to the regulations, and part of it is the rank of an official.

Jingshui Pavilion is next to Jingshui, the land is fertile, and hundreds of families live. Walking through the fields, you can see many farmers working in the fields. Led by the pavilion chief, you soon came to a pavilion.

Next to Jingshui, the river breeze blows with a little coolness. Bai Ji opened his hand and looked at the ears of rice carefully. The growth is very good, and each grain is very full. This crop is well served, and if you don't pay attention, the ears of rice will be shriveled.

There were no weeds in the fields, and there was rotting manure. It can be seen that the output of more than ten acres is higher than that of others' twenty acres.

Qin Guoqian was able to get the land after he established a household, and the amount of cultivation depends on his own ability, not that he has to plant dozens of acres of land. Most of them are more than 30 acres of land, and some older ones will reduce the cultivated area.

After a while, an old peasant came with two pavilion soldiers. Wrapped in a turban, with a hunched waist, and sandals. The movements are not fast, and the appearance is older.

"Old Nongyan, I've seen you."

Iwa didn't dare to look up, his eyes dodging. His ancestors were Zheng Guoren, and after Zheng Guo was destroyed, he fled to Qin with others. There are five Chinese New Year's Eve today, and it looks very vicissitudes because of the sun and rain. There was also a young son in the family, and the eldest son died on the battlefield.

Relying on farming for a living, there are more than a dozen acres of land, and I can barely eat. Sometimes a hunter in the pavilion catches prey and sends some water to him. He is a very careful man, because there are few ploughing cattle, he grows less when he is old, and he can serve more than a dozen acres of land.

Every day, I would work hard in the fields, planting some wheat millet and beans. His beans are plump and have a good taste, and they can be sold for a higher price than others. It's all about survival, and he doesn't have as much strength as a young man to use his brain.

was hoeing, but then he was brought over, saying that the king wanted to find him something. This is really a strange thing, he didn't expect this legendary immortal to find him this bitter haha.

He has also heard about this in the past few days, saying that he wants to plant auspicious rui in Jingyang. I will find a cultivator to do a pilot, and I heard that if he grows well, he will give a cow, but this good thing has happened to him?!

Bai Ji smiled and put the ears of rice on the stone table, "Your crops are well planted, and they are planted with heart." ”

"Thank you for the compliment."

The people chosen by Bai Ji are very exquisite. Instead of picking those that cultivate more, we look for those with high average yields. In the early stage, each person only needs to cultivate one acre of potatoes, and the test and promotion are correct. In the coming year, the potatoes will be pushed to more farmers' homes, and these people can also act as teachers to teach them how to farm.

After his eyes signaled, Shang Niu brought out two large baskets full of potatoes.

"First of all, I'll hand over the five-stone potatoes to you. In all, including you, there were forty people who cultivated potatoes, one acre of land each. After three months I will be liquidated, and the most planted will be given a ploughing ox and a curved plow. The second and third places can only get the Taiquyuan plow. ”

"Thank you!"

Yan's excited voice trembled a little. A ploughing ox, a zigzag plow?! After that, there is hope, and there is no need to worry about it anymore. They have also heard of the Quyuan plow, and they have heard that it is very easy to use, and it can be used as a farm tool that can plough ten acres of land in a day.

This time, the contestants can get the quyuan plough in advance and use it for farming. If you plough cattle, you can use them first. When the game is over, they can leave five stone potatoes for seeding, and pay the rest in exchange for the quyuan plow.

That is to say, as long as the participation guarantee can be prostituted for nothing, and the top three can exchange potatoes for money.

In short, the purpose of Baiji's move is to stimulate farmers. If you plant well, you will be rewarded, and whoever plants more will have a ploughing cow. Regardless of the time and place, there is definitely more motivation to have a substantial reward.

Old Nongyan's legs and feet are inconvenient, but he is a good hand at serving the crops. Bai Ji's choice of him was also deliberate, and he was the seeded player of this year's Potato Cup.

"How to farm, there will be a little official to explain to you. If you don't understand something, you can ask it. The minimum yield per mu shall not be less than 30 stones, otherwise there will be nothing. ”

Bai Ji's eyes were cold, and the old farmer hurriedly bent down and saluted, "Your Excellency, rest assured!" ”

That's the combination of grace and power, after all, that's all there are potatoes. All of them are varieties that have been improved by him, and the tubers will be larger, but more ground-eating. Without special chemical fertilizers, it is estimated that the land can be planted and wasted in a year.

"In addition, potatoes are auspicious and should not be handled without permission. Otherwise, the three tribes of Yi! ”

The zigzag plow and the horseshoe are easy to say, but the potatoes are not good now. It is not a good thing if it falls into the hands of the enemy.

"Your Excellency can rest assured!"

Lao Nongyan puffed out his chest, the straightest in all these years. Pat your chest hard and make a promise, Xiangrui will never fall into the hands of others!

That's all there is to say, seeing that there are other farmers arriving, Bai Ji asked people to help Lao Nongyan bring the potatoes back. In addition to potatoes, there are actually corn and rice, and he will find someone to cultivate them.

Good things must come to themselves first, after all, the grain is like that. He will not only hold potato cups, but also corn cups and rice cups in the future......

Once a year, we will do some lottery to arouse their enthusiasm. If you win the award, you can still be interviewed, and it will be included in the Jingyang Agricultural Jane, which can be regarded as a glory on the ancestors!
