Bang! Bang!

The peasant woman put a shovel, a pickaxe, and several wooden baskets stacked together on the unicycle.

"The second little and the third girl are leaving." The peasant woman shouted into the house.

Wang Erxiao: "Mother, I'll be here soon." ”

Wang Sanya: "Brother, wait a minute, my shoes can't be worn." ”

The voices of Wang Erxiao and Wang Sanya came from the house, and it didn't take long for Wang Erxiao and Wang Sanya to come out of the house.

"Mother, I want to take a big car." Wang Sanya jumped up and down to her mother and begged.

"Come on, be careful not to fall." It seems that considering this situation, the peasant woman deliberately left a vacant seat for Wang Sanya on the wheelbarrow, and the peasant woman stretched out her rough hands and carried Wang Sanya to the wheelbarrow with a gentle force.

"Oh, let's go, the cart is running." Wang Sanya sat in the wheelbarrow and shouted happily.

Wang Erxiao's family of three pushed a wheelbarrow and walked towards their family's allocated field.

After walking for about a quarter of an hour, Wang Erxiao's family came to their family's five-acre field, which had been covered with green vegetation, which had a strange name - sweet potato, which was also the grain planted by Wang Erxiao's family this year.

Wang Erxiao's family of three, one adult gets ten acres of land, two children each get five acres of land, and together they get a total of twenty acres of land, why is Wang Erxiao's family only five acres of land now?

This is not surprising, Wang Erxiao's family moved from Hengzhou to Yingzhou, Yingzhou developed a relatively small area, mostly undeveloped wilderness, the official gave Wang Erxiao's family 20 acres of land in this area, with three black and white words plus three red handprints of the title deed.

It's just that these 20 acres of land are undeveloped land, and Wang Erxiao's family only had time to reclaim five acres of land before planting sweet potatoes after obtaining these 20 acres of land, which is also a matter of no choice, Wang Erxiao's family only has an adult labor force of a peasant woman, Wang Erxiao is half, Wang Sanya can't do it at all, and it's okay to make trouble for the other two, no matter how hard the peasant woman and Wang Erxiao get up early and work hard, only five acres of land are reclaimed before planting sweet potatoes.

However, five acres of land is enough, Wang Erxiao's family heard from the officials that one acre of sweet potato land can produce at least 1,000 catties of sweet potatoes, and more than 2,000 catties per acre. (In addition to the fact that the sweet potato was discovered for a short time, the cultivation was cultivated and optimized, and the high-quality quality was selected, and the yield per mu of sweet potatoes was probably more than 2,000 catties)

At that time, the peasant woman and Wang Erxiao heard the yield per mu that the little official said, and they were surprised and couldn't speak, they couldn't imagine what grain would have such a high yield, like the millet planted by Wang Erxiao's family in Hengzhou, the yield of one mu was at most 300 catties, and 200 catties was the normal level, and the yield per mu of sweet potatoes was more than five times that of millet, and the yield of sweet potatoes in one acre of field alone was enough for Wang Erxiao's family to eat more than a year.

It is said that the taste of sweet potatoes is good, Wang Erxiao's family has eaten a little dried sweet potatoes, the taste is sweet, Wang Sanya likes this taste the most, and after eating it once, he will never forget it, and now his sweet potatoes are about to be harvested Wang Sanya decided to eat sweet potatoes every day.

Began to plane sweet potatoes, first the peasant woman took the pickaxe to shave the sweet potatoes from the ground in front, and Wang Erxiao and Wang Sanya in the back removed the soil from the sweet potatoes from the ground and put them in the wooden basket.

In fact, the peasant women were trained by "experts" before planting and harvesting sweet potatoes, and these "experts" were the people who planted sweet potatoes in Yingzhou last year, and were hired by the Yun family to teach other people the skills of planting and harvesting sweet potatoes.

After Wang Erxiao filled a wooden basket, he put a wooden basket of sweet potatoes on the unicycle, and after several times, the unicycle was full of sweet potatoes Wang Erxiao greeted "Niang", and the peasant woman put down the pickaxe in her hand and walked over, pushed up the unicycle and walked home, Wang Erxiao's family had already vacated a house in their house in advance (in fact, it was empty) to store sweet potatoes.

Five acres of land can harvest at least 5,000 catties of sweet potatoes, which is at least enough for ten adults to eat for a year, but the labor force of Wang Erxiao's family is too small, and if you want to take back five acres of sweet potatoes to your home, it will take several days from morning to dark.

A few days later, Wang Erxiao's house was about to be filled with harvested sweet potatoes, and a happy worry arose.

"How about eating baked sweet potatoes today? Is it better to eat boiled sweet potatoes? ”

The situation of Wang Erxiao's family is also a choice faced by 30,000 families in Yingzhou, but they always eat sweet potatoes, everyone will get tired of eating them, and they need to change their tastes from time to time.

At the beginning of this year, the total population of Yingzhou was only more than 60,000 people, and before Hengzhou was completely occupied by the Guangming Army, the Yun family transferred more than 62,000 people from Hengzhou, making the total population of Yingzhou more than 120,000 at once, and finally made the population of Yingzhou a little more, and the most important thing is the more than 62,000 people who moved from Hengzhou, and only a very small part of these people are over 50 years old, mainly adult women and children under the age of 15, and there are many young and strong, at least twice the proportion of young and strong people in the population of Zezhou.

Yingzhou has a total population of about 126,000 people, with a total planting of nearly 350,000 mu of sweet potatoes, and it is estimated that the harvest of sweet potatoes will exceed 5 million stone (500 million catties), enough for one million adults to eat for a year.

This is too much, every family in Yingzhou is laughing at the sweet potatoes at home, and they wish that there would be such a bumper harvest every year.

When the sweet potatoes were harvested in Yingzhou, the Yun family also began to act, and the first step was to buy sweet potatoes from the people of Yingzhou at a certain price, and finally this price was determined to be one-third of the market price of millet.

In the second step, the Yun family will transport the purchased sweet potatoes back to Yunhua County through the Yun fleet, and then sell them to the whole of Zezhou and Yunhua County at half of the market price of the millet.

At the same time, the Yun family would also buy grains from Zezhou and Yunhua County at 70% of the market price, and then transport some of the grains to Yingzhou to sell at the market price, store some of them, and use the last part to make wine.

Warriors, literati and scholars like to drink, ordinary people can also drink, less food and the price of wine is high, the common people can't even eat, how to drink, now there is so much grain in the three places under the rule of the Yun family, more wine can be brewed, and the price of ordinary wine has dropped, and even ordinary people can afford to drink.

No matter what, the Yun clan will not trade at a loss, but the common people in the three places under the Yun clan have gradually become rich.
