Chapter 470: My heart is dark
The city on the boundary of Liangzhou is the most suitable place to plant red roots, otherwise it would not have specially carved out a huge city with such a city name.
Because it is an important grain producing area, the management system here is naturally relatively strict, but anyone who enters the city will be checked, unless it is a real dignitary.
However, although Tiaocheng was an important grain producing area of the Dafeng Dynasty, the people here were relatively poor.
Of course, it doesn't mean that you can't eat enough, in fact, there is such a crop as sweet potatoes, as long as you are not a lazy eater, you will basically not be hungry.
But it is only limited to food and clothing, and it is impossible to afford a new clothes or a ploughing cow for the family every other year.
Because the price of this crop is much lower than that of other grains, and because of the geology, it is the most suitable for growing red vetch.
There are other food crops that can be planted, but the harvest is very unsatisfactory, and it is really not as good as planting red lotus directly.
And the people of Tiaocheng didn't expect that the price of red mochi this year would be so easy to sell.
Compared with the past, 100 catties of red lotus are more than 10 cents, 100 catties are more than 10 cents, and 10 catties of red vetch are more than 1 penny.
This red lotus is the most pressing, how much is ten catties of red vetch?
For a while, the people within a radius of 100 miles to Tiaocheng were all excited.
It's just that the price is high, but the requirements are also high, the surface is smooth, no pests and diseases, no green heads, and there are too many insect bites.
But it doesn't matter at all, because in the past, the yamen came to collect it, and it was also picky and selective in this way.
People pick and choose and don't give a price increase, but now these people are picking, but the price is really true, checked, qualified, on the spot on the scale and then checkout.
The people took out half a tael of silver in their hands than before, and their mouths were grinning.
And this is just ordinary, there are many others, this time selling red lotus made nearly three or five taels of silver!
The side persuaded them to reclaim more wasteland, and a variety of red weeds were empty, and the money in hand was real.
The people who collected the red lotus also said according to Chu Yue's instructions: "Harvest, as long as everyone grows such a good red lotus, then the city will harvest it, and it will be harvested every year in the future, and everyone can have more varieties." ”
Tiaocheng has basically been reclaimed within a radius of 100 miles, and it is a veritable red city, but there is also wasteland within a radius of 100 miles.
Although it is not as good as the one that has been cultivated by them, it is easy to feed the red vetch crop.
At the same time, the yamen of Tiaocheng also received the holy decree, and directly posted the emperor's list, saying that the wasteland reclaimed by itself could be reported to the yamen, tax-free for three years, and all the income from the three years would go to the people themselves.
After this emperor list was posted, the people of Tiaocheng spread the word of mouth, and they went out with hoes one after another!
For a time, the entire Tiaocheng was showing a grand scene of reclaimed wasteland.
Chu Yue, who was in Tiaocheng, was also very busy at this time.
I don't know how Qin Heng promoted her in the capital, many restaurants and restaurants under the names of big families in the capital have come here.
What I did was this sweet potato vermicelli and dried sweet potato.
Dried sweet potatoes are actually just fine, but sweet potato vermicelli is really good, and those who have eaten it will be more satisfied, after all, this is a novel product.
When these merchants arrived, Chu Yue's Yueji sweet potato vermicelli had already had a lot of finished products, and there was also a special vermicelli shop in Tiaocheng, which was also reserved to entertain these merchants.
There are all kinds of methods, and they are not complicated, they are very simple, you can try them by ordering a plate of fried noodles or soup powder.
Because of this, the price is not high, and if you lose the receipt and labor costs, a pound of sweet potato vermicelli will earn so much money.
It's just that it can't stand up to a lot.
One catty is five wen, the ten catties are fifty wen, one hundred catties is five hundred wen, and two hundred catties is one thousand wen, that is, one tael of silver.
Two hundred catties of sweet potato vermicelli is only the amount of one thousand catties of sweet potatoes, and one thousand catties of sweet potatoes will earn one or two silvers, and how much profit will be shared?
The profits from increasing the production of the people and the wages of providing stable jobs for the people in the city must be counted, and a thousand catties of sweet potatoes can earn one or two silver after throwing them away.
That's a lot of money.
In fact, the price can be set higher, but Chu Yue did not raise the price too high in consideration of the subsequent sustainable development.
After all, it's not easy for people to come over, and it is always necessary to leave more profit margins for businessmen and businessmen, so that they are willing to come to Tiaocheng without any effort, isn't it?
But even so, Chu Yue was still thinking that the industrial structure of Tiaocheng was too simple, even if the price was set low, it was not conducive to long-term development.
So Chu Yue began to study the fermentation of sweet potato residue, one person counted short, and the other counted long, Chu Yue handed over the matter of fermenting sweet potato residue and raising pigs to the new Zhou Qingshu and another son-in-law.
After the two discussed, they posted a list and went out, and whoever could study it would be rewarded with ten taels of silver.
After Chu Yue handed over these things to others, she didn't care.
The main thing is to let Tiaocheng raise more pigs, after all, it is not a pity to have so many sweet potato residues, and not only can pigs be raised, but also can be made into fertilizer.
Of course, the premise is to get the fermentation out.
She doesn't have to worry about these things, Murong Ju had already set off for Zhenhu City a few days ago, and now she is the only one left here, of course, there are Bingye and Yingda.
It's been almost twenty years since Chu Yue came to Tiaocheng, but she still doesn't want to go back.
To Qin Heng, he flies pigeons every day to pass the book back, and every day she has to talk about what she misses, but people don't go back, and the reason is also bright, saying that Tiaocheng has not yet developed, and she can't go back yet.
How could Qin Heng not understand her, he didn't want to come back!
For a while, she was really angry and anxious, this woman with no conscience was simply unfamiliar, he treated her like this, but she was not at ease at all, she was really a black heart.
said that Chu Yue was a dark-hearted person, but he didn't want to think that after Chu Yue left the palace, Li Guiren was pregnant with a dragon heir, and there was a message from behind him that He promised to give birth to four princes.
It's just that this lotus promised a thin life, and there was no such blessing at all, and it was difficult to give birth when the fourth prince was born, and finally the fourth prince was born, but the lotus promised but he couldn't survive that breath.
Therefore, Qin Heng ordered that the four princes be raised under the name of Concubine De of Jinghui Palace.
In the end, it was his own son, Qin Heng also went over to see it, and by the way, he also stayed in Jinghui Palace, which made Jinghui Palace suffer from a long drought and nectar, and the whole palace was full of joy.
Of course, Chu Yue didn't know these things, and if she knew, she would definitely spit on this scumbag dragon's so-called deep affection for her. Baidu: "The concubine has a heart disease, she has to be spoiled!" The latest chapters of Jiezhong Literature are free to read for the first time.
