The soldier died as a confidant, Ma Chunming felt that he was a big farmer, and finally understood the meaning of this sentence.

Ye Qingyu also felt relieved to see that he was so motivated, and said a few words of encouragement.

Of course, in addition to verbal encouragement, Ye Qingyu also gave him a salary, gave him various benefits, and sent a small servant to take care of his diet and daily life, so that he had no worries and could concentrate on how to farm well.

Ma Chunming left after thanking him, and when the wheat harvest farm was busy, he was entangled in everything, very busy, and couldn't stay longer.

"Sister Ye, I think if my mother knew that such a farm could improve so many harvests, she would definitely follow and learn."

After listening to the conversation between Ye Qingyu and Ma Chunming, Li Siyue couldn't help but express her amazement, and said with a smile on the side.

She also studied housekeeping with her mother for a period of time, and also read the account book, and she also knew how the harvest of the family's fields was, so after hearing that the harvest had six buckets of grain, her heart was shocked as you can imagine.

"It would be great if your mother was willing to practice intensive farming! In our town, you have the most fields, and you are the example, and when others see the effect, they will follow suit. ”

Ye Qingyu said happily.

-

Sure enough, as Li Siyue said, a few days later, Mrs. Li came to visit them, and after hearing about the harvest of Ye Qingyu's experimental field, she was shocked and surprised, and hurriedly said that she must follow along.

After Mrs. Li explained the input to her, she calmed down a little, was silent for a moment, and then nodded and said,

"Sure enough, every effort will have a return, such concentrated farming, my side has to invest a lot of money and manpower than before, and there is still time."

"In fact, these inputs are long-term wear and tear inputs, and farm tools and cattle are still our assets, just for tenants to use. If you think that if the farming tools and cattle are used and maintained, they can be used for a few years or even a decade.

After so many years, if you spread it out, it may cost you more than a dozen taels of silver in a year. It is worth the extra money to hire a farmer, and they will bring you more income.

The yield of wheat has doubled, and the yield of other crops has also increased, and one acre of land may help you earn an extra silver or two in one season, and the harvest in two seasons a year, so many fields, the income can be huge. ”

After hearing these words, Mrs. Li couldn't help but smile and nodded, "Madam is so right!" That's the reason, if I stick to these upfront investments, it will be a little short. ”

Ye Qingyu was very happy to see that Mrs. Li understood, "You go back and discuss with Landlord Li, this summer planting, you can try to implement it." The main thing is to find competent agricultural personnel.

If you can't find something too suitable, don't be afraid, just choose a few people who have brains and know some farming to come and learn from Ma Chunming. ”

Mrs. Li naturally agreed, and repeatedly thanked Ye Qingyu for helping to solve the talent problem.

-

Half a month later, the work in the field was basically over, the wheat and various crops were harvested, the land was renovated, and corn, soybeans and other crops were planted.

The wheat that was recovered was also pulled to the drying field to be exposed to the sun and hulled, and then received in the granary.

After that, there is the problem of paying taxes and rents that farmers are most reluctant to face.

The taxes of this dynasty were not heavy, because they were not paid according to the head, but according to the fields.

In this way, the tragic situation of a poor family having only one acre of land in their hands and more than a dozen people in the family has to hand over all the grain is avoided.
