Chapter 13—The Mother of Famine (10)

"Oh? Did she tell you the name of this thing? ”

The eldest sister shook her head and continued: "She also asked you if you had bought the fruit of this thing, and I said no. ”

"Then you have been following Mrs. Li more recently, she is not a simple person, maybe you can learn a lot from her." The bottom of Xing's eyes is full of interest.

The future of this Li lady is immeasurable.

The Great Liang sent an embassy to borrow 50,000 horses in the Uighurs to contain the rear of the Jin Dynasty, so that the Jin Dynasty had to return to the Dynasty. The biggest crisis of the girder has been temporarily lifted.

The people of the Jin Dynasty are the most grudgeful, and when they turn around and fight back, Da Liang will definitely not be as lucky as this time.

When Tilt Jiu was listening to the gossip, he also learned that Tu Manxing, the eldest son of Tu Laosan's family, had joined the army.

After all, I still can't hold back and want to get a piece of the soup.

She could see at a glance that Tu Manxing would not be an idle person, and this person could at least worship the marquis.

Tilt Jiu took Huayin to go around the field, and Sister Tu also pretended to meet her by chance, how could she not see that Sister Tu was deliberate, and it was estimated that the family had explained something. Tilt Jiu didn't care, she was trying to do everything she could to bring the sweet potato vine back to life.

Fortunately, most of them survived.

Sure enough, the weather was not suitable.

Because of the late planting, it was already the end of September when Dump Jiu harvested this batch of sweet potatoes. During this period, she figured out the cultivation of sweet potatoes in Daliang and found that this thing was really just introduced, and no one planted it on a large scale.

Only a small number of people are still planting on a small scale in small plots and are in a state of experimentation.

I believe that it will not be long before this thing will be popularized and planted. This batch of Tianjiu is congenitally insufficient, and the acquired nutrition is supplemented, so it is quite a harvest.

She took out some of it and cooked it and distributed it to the villagers, and the villagers were amazed.

I didn't expect this gadget to be amazed, fragrant, soft and sweet, and it was also very satiety.

So Tilt Jiu told them that when they were breeding next year, each family would free up a piece of land to grow sweet potatoes. When the harvest is bad, this thing can save lives.

Tilt Jiu has more or less prestige in the village, and everyone believes what she says.

In the spring of the following year, the Jin Dynasty came again, but it was a little far away from the capital, and the rulers of Daxing had no fear again, and they even went on a large-scale draft.

All of a sudden, the people's grievances were indignant and full of complaints.

However, none of this affected the small village of Cypress Village. Dump Jiu reopened an acre of land, fattened it in the winter, and used it specifically to grow sweet potatoes.

In order to meet the needs of the village, Jiuguang Breeding has raised half an acre, buried all the sweet potatoes harvested last year into the soil, and under careful care, the growth is gratifying.

This thing can move vines and live.

Cypress Village has planted sweet potatoes and raised them according to the method of the Nine Sects. By autumn, every household's cellar is loaded with this new species.

This thing is simply full of treasures, vines grow, its tips can be soup, and its vines can be fed to pigs. After harvesting, the vines are dried in the sun, whether they are pigs or other livestock, they can be eaten. Then the fruit is given to people to eat, and the pigs are not finished eating, Li Niangzi said that Fanbang is called sweet potato, this thing called sweet potato is really magical, and with it, I am not afraid of starvation in a famine year.

Many daughters-in-law in the village are married from outside, so it will be passed on to ten, ten, hundred, and thousand.

There is no need to promote it yourself.

So Tilt Jiu was more respected by the villagers, and the so-called one person attained the Tao, and the chicken and dog ascended to heaven.

Huayang's prestige status is also very high among the juniors, and from time to time little girls come to Huayin to play and be female celebrities together.

When Huayin was seven years old, he suddenly woke up and said to Tilt Jiu: "Ah Niang, I don't want to be a female celebrity, I want to learn from Ah Niang to learn farming, as a woman, it is enough for female workers to have the level of tailoring and sewing and mending, and there is no need to embroider that delicate flower, farming will be different, so that I will not have to starve in the future." ”

"Do you really think so?" Tilt Jiu felt that she had been ignoring one point, the two children were people with their own thoughts, so why let them follow a fixed line of thought?

If it is in the eyes of others, it must be very disdainful of farming. Everything is of the highest quality, only the end of farming. What is the way out of farming?

But Hua Yin felt that her mother was definitely not an ordinary farmer, every time she went to the field. She can always hear her aunt talk about the truth contained in this field, the land is magical, and the plants are also magical.

Food is grown for people to eat, so how can we make it enough for people?

Of course, it is necessary to grow good food crops so that they can increase their yields. If the same land can produce more food, everyone will be happy.

When everyone has enough food for their daily needs, they will find a way to sell some of the food, so that the food will be circulated, and as long as there is money, they can buy food, and they will not go hungry.

The most important point is actually the land.

If you don't have land, you can't grow food, that's fundamental, and if you don't have land, you can't open up wasteland. Open up a piece of land like your mother's mother.

Tilt Jiu didn't know what her girl thought, she had checked the land system of Daliang.

It is a mixed system, that is, three parallel types of state ownership, landlord ownership, and peasant ownership.

In this troubled era, peasant ownership has been squeezed, especially a few years ago, natural disasters, several households have dealt a devastating blow to the peasants.

As a result, the phenomenon of land annexation was very serious, and many peasants lost their land and became vassals of the landlords, becoming tenant farmers. Some were demoted one level and became village slaves.

This is the cruelty of the world.

However, it is not appropriate to change the existing land system at present, and if the problem of food and clothing cannot be solved at the root, then we can only take the road of improving varieties, increasing yields, and popularizing new crops.

She was a little worried that the task could not be completed, it was really too difficult, when the earth was still there, science and technology had developed to a certain extent and could not solve the problem of famine in an all-round way, let alone this ancient time when the productivity was backward.

Li Jiuniang's starting point is good, I hope she is not an extreme person.

Tilt Jiu felt that she only had to do what she could.

"A-Niang, I want to learn, my brother reads, I also learned a lot, the book says that there are many poor households with heavy taxes, and farmers are hungry and dry fields, I have experienced it, and my feelings are still profound, mother, I don't want to starve again in the future."

"But this is very hard, don't you look at my mother to do it easily, in fact, it's not easy at all, can you persevere?"

Hua Yin nodded heavily.

"Well, my daughter has grown up and knows how to worry about the future, so my mother will teach you."

At this moment, Qian Jiu officially regarded Huayin as his heir.

She has collected a lot of information in the past few years, and has also written two or three agricultural books, but one by one she is overturning. There is always a new harvest every year, and the contents of the agricultural book are always updated.

So before the real saturation equilibrium is reached, these lands and seeds can still create more energy and value.
