Chapter 44 Remarriage of a Divorced Male Wife 41
Siyu asked Uncle Sun to find ten reliable people and teach them how to raise seedlings and how to plant them every day? How to harvest and pick vegetables and fruits when they are ripe? The grain shop and Zhuangzi Siyu were directly handed over to Uncle Sun for management, and Siyu believed in Uncle Sun's character, but on the contrary, Yi Yunqing and Lu Ming were very idle, because except for the emperor and the emperor's cousin, no one wanted to deal with them!
As soon as the seven days arrived, Yi Yunqing, Lu Ming and Siyu were very reluctant to leave, this time they did twenty days to make a carriage, and when they arrived here, Siyu realized that it belonged to a coastal city. It's just that it hasn't developed yet, and the emperor's purpose in letting Yi Yunqing come here is to let Yi Yunqing develop ship trade here!
It is said that the new official took office with three fires, but Yi Yunqing took office, let alone the fire, the people under his hands did not take Yi Yunqing in their eyes, because this is their land, and they seem to be the emperor of the soil here! Yi Yunqing goes out early and returns late every day, Lu Ming is the same, Siyu also went out for a walk, and found that most of the people here eat seafood, like fish, shrimp and the like! Fresh vegetables, melons and fruits are not seen at all, and there are few dried vegetables, which makes Siyu a little surprised, and he thought of a very good way! That is to plant vegetables, the vegetables can be sold when they are ripe, and the silver can be sold to build a coast for Yi Yunqing!
Siyu said to do it, Yi Yunqing also had this intention, and took out his private money to buy Siyu twenty seedlings of land, because of the barren land, a lot of land is wasted. Twenty seedlings of land only cost five taels of silver, Siyu went out to find someone to help turn over the wasteland, forty yuan a day, for a lunch, before he said it, there were many people willing to come. Because the people here have nothing else to do except fishing, and they can't grow crops on the land, they can only stay at home, and now I hear that they can get 40 yuan a day for plowing the land. They think it's a good thing, and sometimes they go fishing, and if they're unlucky, they can't earn 40 dollars a day!
There are many people and great strength, and twenty men have turned over twenty acres of land in four days, of course, Siyu is not stingy, and every day at noon, one person has five meat buns and a bowl of meat. There are many kinds of meat, such as steamed fish, spicy fish, spicy shrimp, and fish ball kelp soup. If you want to eat anything else, you can't eat anything else, even if you eat, it's very expensive, ordinary people are reluctant to eat at all, just take the bun as an example, a vegetarian bun in the capital costs a penny, and it costs two pennies here. The capital meat buns cost up to two cents a piece, and here it costs three cents a piece, just because the flour has to be transported from other places, it is very expensive!
After the ground is turned, Siyu makes people sprinkle green manure, but they don't think that there is already green manure here, and after the green manure blooms, the ground is turned over, and the green manure can be fertilized in the ground. Siyu remembers that when she was a child, her father did the same, in addition to green manure, Siyu also asked people to dig a big pit on the edge of the ground, and let people pick up some silt and dung in the big pit.
A year later, Siyu's land can finally grow vegetables, Siyu raised seedlings, and personally took people to plant, perhaps because of the space well water, the survival rate is very high. When the vegetables are ripe, they can be sold for eight cents a catty, and they are still in short supply, and finally fried to twelve cents a catty, which is almost as expensive as pork! At this time, many people came to the door to ask for a way, Siyu also patiently explained, and took people to their own fields to demonstrate, Siyu didn't know, many years later, all the people here ate fresh vegetables, white rice, chubby, meaty white flour meat buns.
