Chapter 364: Manpower shortage
After asking Xiaocao, Yunxi got up and went out, shouted Yuanyuan to go to the back garden, thinking that as soon as she entered the door, Xiaomei and the three of them should find themselves to report to work, I didn't want her to come back for so long, and the three girls didn't move at all!
Looking at the back garden, there was no one, and the two of Yunxi went to the vegetable garden again.
I went to look for it, and sure enough, the three of them were squatting in a newly turned field and planting something, carefully concentrating, and Yunxi didn't notice it when they walked up.
Yunxi: "What are you planting?" ”
What season is this, and how do you plant the seeds?
"Clematis seeds." Dani replied without raising her head.
"Show me, how did it sprout so quickly?" Yunxi was pleasantly surprised, clematis seeds are not easy to serve, the two sons of Aunt Huo's family took her to pick those last autumn, she thought that they were fresh and planted them directly, and there was no movement until this spring, when the peony flowers bloomed, they came out one after another.
So she didn't dare to plant these picked this spring, but moisturized them and encouraged them to sprout, planning to wait for the seeds to be white before planting. I didn't expect that it had only been more than a month, and it had already sprouted.
"Hey, it's Sister Xi who is back." Dani found out that it was Yunxi who had just been questioned this time, and hurriedly brought the seeds to show Yunxi.
Erni and Xiaomei also stopped what they were doing and greeted Yunxi and Yuanyuan.
Yunxi saw that it was really clematis seeds, not only had they been exposed, but many of the white roots had grown two or three centimeters. It seems that clematis seeds can't be fresh, and they have to go through the low temperature vernalization in winter! This is something she didn't find on the Internet, it seems that this kind of flower still needs to be pondered a lot, and it can't be just talked about on paper!
Thinking of this, Yunxi thought of Fourth Sister Li's grandfather Zhang Changlai, that was an old nursery for many years, but unfortunately people are too pedantic, and they are self-righteous and self-righteous, Yunxi originally thought that even if the chrysanthemum flowering technique did not enter his eyes, the assorted brocade peonies could always enter his eyes, right? But it still didn't work, and after a while, Yunxi couldn't do anything about him.
When I go to the capital in the autumn, I must find a few talents, Yunxi said in her heart, she knows her own affairs, although she has a lot of knowledge about planting flowers in her head, she has no experience, and she can't integrate it, so she will inevitably take a detour.
"Give me some seeds, and we'll plant them together."
Yunxi ignored the dissuasion of Yuanyuan and others, and insisted on on-demand with them, if it weren't for the fact that she was too young to go to school, she would have liked to grow in this field for 12 hours a day, where would she dislike this dirt?
In her opinion, this soil is no longer lovely, loose and breathable, full of fertility, and retains water and moisture, which is much better than the imported peat of a certain brand she bought. Yunxi feels that as a real gardener, it is not so much about taking care of the flowers, but about taking care of the soil.
A few people carefully planted, and then covered them with some fresh twigs, although the soil has been watered thoroughly before planting, so that the summer is hot, the surface of the soil is very easy to dry, and the seeds are just planted and watered, and they are afraid that the seeds will not be pressed out, as the saying goes, it is shot to death. Therefore, it is necessary to find a way to shade them and protect their moisture, and then sprinkle water appropriately according to the moisture of the soil, until they have sprouted and their roots are firmly rooted, and then they can be slowly watered.
But Yunxi didn't follow them to do this, she couldn't wait to see the flowers of the nameless seeds, as soon as she entered the vegetable garden gate, she saw it, and she couldn't bear to come over to see Xiaomei and them first, this seed will be planted, she naturally won't stay.
Quickly walked over and looked, as she originally thought, one of the two kinds of flowers is Gesang flower and the other is poppy, these two flowers are almost the same as a thousand years later, so Yunxi recognized it at a glance, the difference is that this poppy is yellow, but it is different from the red and purple common in later generations, but in addition to the color, the leaves, branches and berries are exactly the same as in memory.
There are two better ones left, Yunxi didn't recognize them last time, although they are gradually growing, Yunxi can almost confirm that they should be echinacea and beautiful Feipeng, both of which are plants of the Asteraceae family.
As for the eight kinds of yellow leaves, unfortunately, the awning can't save them, and there are still seven or eight leaves that have been transplanted and barely able to get into the eyes, but those that have not been transplanted are only a little green in their hearts, and they are about to die.
Yunxi isn't too sad, and it's okay to be sad, isn't it? Moreover, with the foundation of Baihua Valley, it can be regarded as preserving the flame of revolution, and it will not be wiped out. As for the four that didn't sprout at all, it can only be said that there is no fate.
Contentedly patrolling around the garden, Yunxi went home satisfied, and when it was time to eat in the evening, Yunxi heard Ye Yuan say that there was really a big event in their family.
Even the 3,000 acres of land bought, didn't the owner of the land sell only the land without tenants? Last year's autumn harvest and autumn sowing were all looking for temporary workers, and there were no fewer short-term workers hired on weekdays to help weed and loosen the soil, but after all, it was not a long-term solution, Ye Yuan and Ye Fu They were looking for whether to find some tenants to come over and farm, and they searched for more than half a year, until the wheat harvest was not found.
In fact, there were many wars in Youzhou, there were many wars in the past, there was a shortage of manpower, there were many people, coupled with a series of preferential policies of the government, the common people did not say that they had surplus wealth, but it was enough to wrap their stomachs, but it was not easy to find tenants.
I had no choice but to buy and hire them, and I got together 50 long-term workers and placed them in the tenant vacant house of the original owner's family.
Because these people are not eating and living in the Ye family, Xiaocao's little confused maid doesn't know at all.
It's just 50 long-term workers, there is no modern machinery, and if you want to take care of 3,000 acres of land, you can't. But there was no other way, so I had to hire some short-term workers to help first, and I could do as much as I could.
Not to mention Yunxi, even Ye Yuan sighed again and again, "I originally thought that the land was rare, but I encountered a panic that I didn't buy a loss, how could I have it, but I couldn't find a human race, isn't it a waste?" ”
Lin is also worried, the autumn harvest is okay, as long as the corn cobs are snatched back from the field and piled up and cleaned up slowly, but the wheat harvest is not good, everything is in a hurry. After a wheat harvest, Rao is that she doesn't have to work and move her mouth, and she is tired and has lost several pounds, not to mention Ye Yuan and Ye Fu, who are running outside, all of them are tanned and thin.
"Why don't we sell something?"
"That's not possible, it's not that you can't get by, how can you sell land!" Ye Yuan immediately retorted. In these years, the land is hard currency, not a hurdle that cannot be passed, very few people sell land, like the Wang family, they just want to change places, which is cheaper for the Ye family, otherwise in this peaceful year, if you want to buy a large piece of land, in addition to natural disasters and man-made disasters, you can only wait for which family will be a loser.
"The Wang family who sold the land to us, I don't know if you regret it?" Yun Jin said suddenly.
Yunxi was stunned, and immediately thought that the Wang family who sold the land sold the land in Youzhou to buy the land in Kyoto, in order to do the business of growing and selling vegetables in Kyoto, but he didn't want the emperor to move the capital, but what he bought and what he sold were going to be reversed!
"It doesn't matter if he regrets it or not, it's already ours anyway, can he come back?" Lin said disapprerovingly.
I don't want to say a prophecy, two years later, didn't Wang Dalang come back and ask for it?
