Chapter 532: The Reclamation Boom
Since they decided to accompany His Royal Highness King Yan to the wasteland to check the growth of the crops, and now that the tea has been drunk, a group of people got up and prepared to go over now.
But at this point in time, it is the most vicious time of the sun outside, and it will not be long before people can be sunburned.
Therefore, a group of people wear straw hats on their heads, which can be regarded as being able to shade the sun.
Zhang Xiaoxue's family members are all wearing linen clothes, cool and neat, wearing straw hats, and it is like that.
However, Yu Wenze, Ying Da and Fat Man, the clothes they wore were all wearing robes on the outside, and with a straw hat full of rural atmosphere, it felt a little mismatched.
Zhang Xiaoxue, who watched it, grinned and snickered, but the few people who were laughed at felt inexplicable, I don't know what Sister Xiaoxue was laughing at?
Although it is not comfortable to work at this point in time, it is not enough to stop some hard-working villagers, who have already eaten and are busy weeding in their own crops.
Because weaving straw hats is not too much technical work, there are many people in the village who can weave, and they have already learned to weave straw hats and wear them, so on the road, you can see many villagers wearing straw hats, bending down to weed in their own fields.
Zhang Xiaoxue and the others traveled all the way, greeting the villagers passing by from time to time, and soon arrived at the wasteland.
Yu Wenze really didn't expect that the green cropland in front of him turned out to be the newly reclaimed wasteland of Zhang Xiaoxue's family.
Because the crops in this wasteland are growing better than the crops grown by other farmers along the way.
This is really an unbelievable thing, it can be seen that the perversion of the potatoes and corn seeds that Sister Xiaoxue got from her master.
Yu Wenze thought about it, he saw the growth of the corn and potatoes grown there by the Department of Agriculture a few days ago, and it didn't seem to be much different from these.
"The corn and potatoes grown on the wasteland here are growing so well, I think the crops grown by other villagers are growing much better than the crops grown by other villagers passing by. ”
When Zhang's father heard the inquiry, he knew that part of the reason was that it was because of the fertilizer that his daughter took out from her master that had this effect.
And then there is this potato and corn seed, which is very good, and it is indeed not a problem to grow like this, and they have planted a lot of corn on the side of the fertile land, which is taller and thicker than that on the wasteland, so it can be seen that it is better planted on the good land.
"Your Highness, the corn and potatoes grown in the fields here also use the fertilizer that Xue'er took from her master. ”
"Oh!"
It turned out that he had used that kind of fertilizer, but Yu Wenze still thought in his heart that maybe even if he didn't use that kind of perverted fertilizer, just used some farmhouse fertilizer, even if it grew worse, it shouldn't be bad.
The potatoes and corn planted on the wasteland, as long as the corn and potato seeds taken out by Zhang Xiaoxue are used, they will definitely not be bad, and I still don't worry too much in my heart.
"The crops grown on your wasteland grow so well, do any other people in the village want to reclaim the wasteland?"
"Haha, since the people in the village saw that the potatoes and corn grown on my family's wasteland grew better than the crops they planted in the fertile land, of course, many families have now pooled their money to reclaim the wasteland.
There are a few families in the village who have reclaimed wasteland, and there are records on the patriarch's side, and if His Highness wants to know, he can call the patriarch over and ask about it.
In fact, not only the people in our village, there is now a craze for clearing wasteland, and many people who are related to the people in our village also know about this matter, and I heard that the family is still lenient and conditional, and they have begun to go back and cultivate in their village. ”
After listening to Zhang's father's answer, Yu Wenze's heart was filled with a huge joy again, and he couldn't help but smile on his face.
Encouraging farmers to reclaim wasteland, but the first thing he wanted to do when he came to this fiefdom should soon be fulfilled because of the two perverted high-yielding crops of potatoes and corn.
Seeing the growth of potatoes and corn on the wasteland, Father Zhang invited Yu Wenze and the three of them to their fertile field to have a look.
In fact, the corn planted on the side of the fertile field, and because the corn planted by Zhang Xiaoxue's family, her grandfather, and uncle's family, because they are all connected, it is also corn on more than ten acres of land.
At first glance, it is also very spectacular, especially compared with other villagers' homes, it is even more obvious, the corn planted on the fertile land is taller and thicker than the corn planted on the wasteland here, and Yu Wenze is also happy to go.
When the group returned home, they saw the patriarch already waiting at home.
The patriarch came here this time to show Zhang Xiaoxue's family how many families wanted to buy potatoes, and there were more than 300 households in the village, and none of them were missing, all of them had the intention of buying potato seeds.
At the same price as wheat seeds, people in the village can basically afford it, who can't plant a few acres of wheat?
With accurate figures, it is easy to divide them evenly, Zhang Xiaoxue and the three of them have potatoes that add up to more than 5,700 catties.
However, it is distributed to more than 300 households, and each family can buy up to 20 catties of potatoes, which is not much.
Although there is less, there is no way, you can't let some people buy it, some people don't have it, a little less, everyone can plant it in their own backyard.
Zhang Xiaoxue and her family talked about this matter with the patriarch, and of course the patriarch had no opinion, so it was decided.
Just go to the ancestral hall to ring the bell and hold a meeting, so that it is convenient to notify all families to come to Zhang Xiaoxue's three families to buy potatoes.
A group of people turned to the ancestral hall again, rang the bell, and the villagers came here one after another, and everyone knew in their hearts that it must be about potato seeds.
The patriarch first told the villagers about the decision made by Zhang Xiaoxue's family.
Everyone also knows this situation, more than 300 households, evenly distributed potatoes, everyone did not dare to expect how much, each family has 20 catties of potato seeds, and they are also very content.
With seeds, as long as they are planted in the ground, and when it is time to harvest, they will get more seeds, and the next year, they will have a good harvest.
Thinking of this, everyone in the villagers had a happy smile on their faces.
"Here I would like to say a few words to you, this potato seed is not directly planted in the ground, the potato needs to be germinated first, cut into small pieces before planting.
With so many potatoes, our family is not easy to germinate, so after the potatoes are distributed to each family, I will teach everyone how to germinate potatoes. ”
