Cui Zhiyi had insomnia.

I couldn't sleep for several nights in a row.

Mrs. Wang asked him to count the money when he couldn't sleep, and he always counted it. As a result, every time he counted to 10,000, he couldn't sleep anymore.

"Madam, do you really want to give 10,000 yuan to that Li Xiao?"

Wang is also very energetic, her eyes lit up in the dim bedroom, "If Li Xiao really dares to accept it, we won't lose 10,000 yuan for printing." ”

For 10,000 yuan, you can buy a few small granges in Gyeonggi. But it's nothing compared to printing.

"I'm just afraid that this Li Xiao is not well-intentioned, the printing technique is so powerful, how can he easily give us the Cui family?"

Wang snorted, last time Li Xiao scolded her nurse, and later beat the Cui family's steward, although it hurt the Cui family's face, but after all, they were just two subordinates. Li Xiao really dares to be tough with the Cui family?

"Then Li Xiao can't keep it with the printing in his hand, if he is smart, he will know that if he sells it to us, he will have 10,000 yuan, wouldn't it be good?"

The Wang family calculated that Li Xiao would not dare to play the Cui family, and beating two subordinates was just a squint.

"But Li Xiao also asked us to give Erniang to him."

"That's wishful thinking, how can Erniang marry him, how can he marry him, doesn't he have half a point in his heart? The concubine looked at Li Xiao's request, but it was just a sky-high asking price. ”

Cui Zhiyi finally made up his mind and planned to make this transaction.

"It's worth 10,000 yuan to buy printing, but we don't have that much money." He couldn't help but sigh. In these years, it is natural for a family like the Cui family to have a lot of wealth, hundreds of years of accumulation, and sufficient wealth. However, no matter how rich a person is, no one will save tens of thousands of dollars of cash at home.

The Cui family's property, like most scholars, is mainly to buy land and a lot of shops and houses, and they will also take out a lot of money to lend.

"Take out the gold and silver that you have hidden in your house, and then take out some of the silk from the treasury, and if it is not enough, take two more Zhuangzi out and make it up. We have to hurry up and start, in case this Li Xiao finds someone else, it will be too late. ”

10,000 is a lot, but it is definitely worth changing the printing technique, if the Cui family does not make a move, there will definitely be others who are willing to make a move.

If you don't have enough cash, then you can make up for it, and the gold and silver stored at home, as well as the grange, can be used to make up the amount.

Chang'an, Beiyuan.

After Li Xiao came back from a short vacation, he first came to his Beiyuan experimental field to inspect. This summer, 600 acres of corn fields were planted in Beiyuan.

The patches of land are flat and straight, and they are neat and tidy.

The swarthy Kunlun Nu was working hard under the supervision of the corn supervisor, and green corn sprouts had emerged from the leveled ground, and Kunlun Nu was loosening the soil, pulling weeds, and thinning seedlings.

The seedlings that come down from here to the next can not be wasted, and they must be transplanted immediately in the open space on the other side. When the seeds are enough, you don't have to be so careful, you can plant a little roughly, just sprinkle the corn seeds directly into the ground, you don't need to be so fine, and even if you have seedlings, the seedlings will be thrown away like weeds, and you don't have to take it to another open field to plant like a treasure.

There are human seedlings, some people loosen the soil, some people pull weeds, and some people water them.

A laid-back idyllic landscape.

Li Xiao strolled around with his hands behind his back, looking at this large cornfield, very satisfied, this is the change he has brought. If 600 acres of corn are sown this summer, there will be hundreds of thousands of catties of corn during the autumn harvest, and more corn will be planted by next spring.

The emperor allocated another 1,000 acres of land in Beiyuan to the corn supervisor, which were all official fields.

The corn supervisor planted only 600 acres of corn in Beiyuan, 300 acres of corn in Lanxi, 100 acres in Shayuan, and 10 acres of corn experimental fields in 22 counties of Gyeonggi.

The number of acres of maize experimental fields has been expanded, and the planting range has also been expanded. According to what Li Xiao and Li Zhi have discussed, corn planting will be comprehensively promoted in Guanlong, Hezhong, Hedong, Heshuo, and other places next spring, and more than 100,000 mu of corn will be planted in these provinces, and the scope of corn planting will be spread to every county in these provinces.

The imperial court planned to replace half of the original millet and millet cultivation area with corn in three years.

During this time, Deputy Supervisor Li Yuanfang threw himself into the experimental fields every day, and kept running between the experimental fields of Beiyuan, Shayuan, Lanxi, and other Gyeonggi counties, and the tanning of the people was as dark as those Kunlun slaves.

"Yuan Fang, you are the deputy supervisor, you are responsible for the general affairs, and the specific affairs will be handed over to the officials below."

The corn supervisor planted 1,000 acres of land this year, and there was a bumper harvest from the previous summer harvest, and now the imperial court attaches great importance to it. Some time ago, Li Xiao was given a lot of official quotas, and now the three major experimental areas of Beiyuan, Shayuan, and Lanxi have each been upgraded to a seven-grade supervisor, each of whom is responsible for a seven-grade supervisor, and the 22 counties of Gyeonggi have also set up an eight-grade supervisor to be responsible for squatting.

Originally, there were only a few officials, more than a dozen officials, and more than 100 Kunlun slaves, but now, but the shotguns were exchanged for guns, and there were more than 30 officials above the ninth grade, and there were as many as 200 foreign officials.

The corn supervisor was even specially promoted to the five-grade yamen, Li Xiao, the supervisor, is naturally the fifth grade, and Li Yuanfang, the deputy supervisor, is now also promoted to the five-grade and followed Li Xiao, which is simply a smooth progress, but the results of the corn supervisor are unquestionable to others.

Li Yuanfang smiled, put on the scarlet silverfish, and became more and more afraid to relax.

"I'm not tired of running more, and the corn is growing very well, better than our spring sowing." After all, one season has already been harvested, and now the second season is planted, and everyone has some experience.

And the weather is much better now than last season.

"We corn supervisors now have a total of 100 hectares of experimental fields approved by the imperial court. 1,200 acres of corn were planted, and the remaining land was planted, and according to your request, I had people plant peppers and sorghum. ”

Li Xiao nodded, with a reliable deputy like Li Yuanfang, he would be quite easy as the number one, and if he made a request, he would naturally be responsible for implementing it in place.

"San Lang, I understand planting chili peppers, after all, chili peppers are quite valuable now, but why do you plant sorghum, sorghum is not worth a few dollars?"

The imperial court allocated 4,000 mu of land to the corn supervisor in 22 counties of Gyeonggi, and 6,000 mu of land from the original three bases of Beiyuan, Lanxi, and Shayuan, which is a full 10,000 mu of land, and basically all of them are relatively high-quality fertile land.

He really didn't understand how to grow sorghum on such a good fertile land, after all, although sorghum was once one of the staple foods, its value was far less than that of millet and millet, let alone as valuable as wheat and rice. Except in years of famine, sorghum is used only as fodder for livestock.

Li Xiao smiled and said nothing, he would not tell Li Yuanfang that sorghum can make wine. It is not a long-term plan to buy sake lees from other wineries, after all, people will increase their prices if they buy more, and although the quality of wine sweat is good, the yield is too low, and the winery should develop in the long run, it is better to directly brew sorghum wine, sorghum to make liquor is an excellent raw material.

Anyway, these experimental plots will be planted with corn next year, and it will be a waste to be empty this year, so it is better to plant peppers and sorghum.
