Chapter 177: Plans
I only heard Zheng Linchu ask, "Langjing, won't you send me?" This time you weren't hurt, you were bedridden. ”
However, the other party didn't raise his head, his eyes seemed to be staring at the book in his hand, and he only replied, "It's good to go, don't send it." ”
"Haha, hahaha..."
Zheng Linchu was amused by her childish behavior, and asked her again, "Really don't send it?" ”
What a laugh! Why did I send you?
Xue Lang Jingli didn't want to pay attention to her.
Listening to Zheng Linchu again, he said seriously, "Actually, in this way, Langjing, at least you don't owe me favors, don't you, they all say that favor debts are the most difficult to repay, and you don't have to have any burdens in the future, isn't it good?" ”
I saw Xue Langjing look up at her, and then changed her posture and continued to read, still not talking to her.
"Okay, then I'll send someone to deliver the contract later."
"Humph!"
This man doesn't even open a pot!
In exchange, Xue Lang snorted heavily, obviously feeling extremely unhappy.
"This is a handbook for the cultivation of sweet potatoes, copied from the handwritten codex of the ancestors, you have time to read it."
I saw Zheng Linchu take out a book and put it on Xue Langjing's desk, and then said, "Then I'm really leaving?" ”
However, the other party still did not talk.
Want to tempt her with Master Jung's codex? There are no doors!
Knowing that he couldn't please her today, Zheng Linchu had no choice but to leave first for the time being.
After the other party left, Xue Langjing, who had been looking down at the book, put down the book in his hand.
With a snort in his mouth, he directly pulled a piece of paper on the desk, crumpled it into a ball, and threw it on the door frame hard.
It seems that he regards that door as Zheng Linchu, and the paper ball in his hand is his weapon.
Besides, on Zheng Linchu's side, although Xue Langjing ignored her, everyone in the Xue family was extremely enthusiastic about her, and naturally they were very enthusiastic about sending her out. b
Xue Langjing in the study, after throwing the paper ball, sat there in a daze for a long time, and when his mood calmed down, he picked up the copy very honestly and read it silently.
After reading the codex, I started to get down to business.
Now that you have decided to cooperate with her, you must maximize your own interests.
Producing thousands of catties of grain per mu is a great temptation for anyone, and she is no exception.
If you think about that rice grain, the maximum yield is only about 200 catties per mu, and after removing taxes, it is only about 150 to 180 catties.
And their Xue family, because there are two festival women here, and there are many daughters in the family, the taxes can basically be ignored.
That is, all the output in the field belongs to you.
Not only is the output large, but with Zheng Linchu, the market is not a problem.
It has become a unique business again, and the price will not be low.
In fact, it is also a very good deal.
So what to do?
Of course, the more you plant, the better.
But there is no extra land left at home.
Just a few acres of land planted with vine seedlings are still just vacated.
Now there were only two paths left in front of her.
One is to buy land, and the other is to plant the villagers' land.
However, these require silver.
However, the most important thing at the moment is that she wants to know how many seedlings these sweet potatoes can grow and how many acres of land can be planted.
And how much silver you have in your hands.
Li Hong'e said before that there are quite a lot of ways to plant this sweet potato.
Plus this instruction manual given by Zheng Linchu.
How many seedlings can be raised in the end of these sweet potatoes in your hands, you should be able to calculate it, right?
With that in mind, she began to plan.
First of all, it is natural to take this manual to Li Hong'e to study.
As for why she didn't do her own research?
That's of course because professional things are done by professional people, and people are more professional than themselves.
Another thing is that she read this manual for a long time, and then patronized the handwriting, and didn't read much of the content at all.
At the beginning, Zheng Linchu said that when he copied it, he would even copy the handwriting.
In other words, this is the handwriting of Master Zheng Wen.
Well, back to business, she herself has to go to the eldest sister to check the accounts and see how much silver she still has in her hand, whether it is cost-effective to buy land or bear the weight of other people's land.
After asking the eldest sister, I found out that I still had seven hundred and thirty taels of silver.
Just enough to buy a thousand acres of mountainous land.
However, now she doesn't have many sweet potatoes in her hands, even if she picks out all the sweet potatoes suitable for breeding, she can only grow a few acres of land.
Buying a mountain too early seems like too wasteful?
But you can't say that you want to think about it, this land is always to be bought.
Now that I bought it, it's not empty, you can plant something else temporarily, and then plant sweet potatoes after the time is up.
There is no urgency in this matter, let's wait for Li Hong'e to study the guide manual thoroughly, and clarify how to plant sweet potatoes and the harvest time before determining.
On the evening of the second day, Xue Langjing discussed with Li Hong'e.
It turned out that the vine seedlings they had planted before were autumn potatoes, and autumn potatoes could probably be harvested from October to November.
At that time, you can plant early winter potatoes again, and the planting time of early winter potatoes is from October to November, but the seedlings must be raised in early to mid-August, and the harvested sweet potatoes will naturally not be able to catch up with the planting.
However, it is just right to have these in hand, and now it is late July, so these sweet potatoes will be put aside for a while, and then they will start breeding after August, so they can be cut in October to plant early winter potatoes.
At the same time, although it is too late to breed sweet potatoes harvested in October, it is possible to cut all the vine seedlings as seedlings and start planting early winter potatoes.
Once the vine seedlings in the land can be planted for several acres, what about the vine seedlings in these acres of land?
Wouldn't you be able to plant hundreds of acres?
Now the sweet potatoes that are selected to be bred can also be planted four or five acres at that time.
In other words, she needs at least 100 acres of land to be vacated in October.
And those harvested sweet potatoes can wait until the next year to raise seedlings and plant spring potatoes.
Now, if the four or five acres of land that have just been planted by cuttings are well served, then 20,000 catties of sweet potatoes can be planted by then.
The two or thirty thousand catties of sweet potatoes are all used to raise seedlings, and two or three hundred acres of land can be planted in the coming year.
The earliest in the coming year is to plant spring potatoes, which should start to raise seedlings in January and take cuttings in April.
In other words, another two or three hundred acres of land will be needed in April of the following year.
This adds up to three or four hundred acres, which is not too little.
And buying land is naturally the more cost-effective it is, and now she looks down on hundreds of acres and hundreds of acres of land.
If you want to buy it, you have to buy thousands of acres.
At most, during this period, the vacant land is used to grow other varieties with short growth cycles.
After settling the account, she decided to buy the land.
Anyway, there is such a county master, and it will take them about half a month to buy a piece of land.
At that time, it will be reclaimed, and it will take another half a month here.
When this land can be planted, it will be early September, and there will only be a surplus of a month until winter planting, and it is not much waste to have a little time.
In this case, it is better to buy land as soon as possible, just in case.
Then let Qianyue and them go to Lizheng to buy land tomorrow.
But now that she bought the land, the silver she had saved so hard will be spent again.
And in a few days, it will be time to pay the team members.
Alas, this money is really not spent.
After buying the land, you have to hire people to reclaim it, which is another expense.
But it's time to reap favors.
She felt that she could really keep the villagers busy all year round.
Let the villagers earn money all the time, and she still doesn't believe that they won't be grateful to her.
