Shopkeeper Guan happily signed the contract, and Liu Wan realized that the scale of Shopkeeper Guan's business may be beyond her imagination.

But if people don't talk about it, she can't ask questions.

At this time, the shopkeeper Guan became interested in Wang Jing's craftsman's workshop, and he asked Wang Jing if he could have time to visit his craftsman's workshop in Taoyuan Village?

Of course, Wang Jing welcomes it.

The more the shopkeeper Guan came into contact with the people of the Wang family, the more he felt that they made him appreciate, so the more he wanted to know more about them.

Liu Wan also took the opportunity to inquire with the shopkeeper about the homeless people in Gukou Town at this time.

"It is true that an autonomous region of displaced people has been demarcated outside the city, but I didn't expect you to be quite well-informed.

The government started to do this before the Chinese New Year.

Speaking of which, what happened to your daughter Wang Lian also promoted the implementation of the government's decision-making.

Now the government allows them to cultivate the fields, and each person can receive two or two portions of miscellaneous grains every day. ”

The shopkeeper knows very well and introduces them one by one.

Each person has two taels of rice porridge a day, and they can only make do with life.

Liu Wan In modern society, in addition to eating staple foods such as rice and noodles, everyone also has fruits, meat, and snacks, so some people may have two staple foods a day.

But for the homeless people, the two taels of the official Shi Mi are purely two taels, and at most they can only be supplemented by adding wild vegetables.

If there is no meat, just wild vegetables and mixed grains to cook porridge will have a bitter taste and be difficult to swallow.

In fact, if they are willing to grow potatoes and sweet potatoes, they should be able to solve the problem of eating in a short period of time.

Sweet potatoes generally ripen in 4 to 6 months, while potatoes are faster, generally 2 to 3 months old.

And the most amazing is the yield of the two, the yield of sweet potato per mu can reach more than 6,000 catties, and the good soil can reach more than 10,000 catties.

Potatoes can reach a yield of 3,000 to 5,000 catties per mu, and the highest can be more than 8,000 catties.

If these two crops are planted, not only the displaced people, but even the people of the entire Great Zhou Dynasty can benefit to some extent.

Liu Wan guessed that the reason why the Hu people didn't particularly treat these two crops as treasures was that in the harsh environment of the desert, the yield of these two crops was not particularly high, so no one took them seriously.

Liu Wan hesitated, but still told the shopkeeper Guan about it.

She vaguely felt that the shopkeeper Guan should have contact with the upper echelons of the government, and if she was a woman from a Taoist family to pass on these words, the government might not believe it and be unwilling to accept the advice of a female Taoist family.

But a rich person like Guan Zhang, maybe people can listen to it better.

The social reality is like this, when you are weak, no matter how good you behave, people will not take it seriously.

When you are a strong person, when you fart, someone will smell it and say that it is fragrant, if it is smelly, it will also tell you worriedly that you should pay attention to the recent diet, you may have indigestion.

Liu Wan knew that she was now a low-level vulnerable woman, and going to report such a thing as the government was tantamount to a child holding gold in the market.

"Oh, are you talking about the sweet potatoes and potatoes sold by the Hu people? Isn't that an ordinary crop? ”

Unexpectedly, Liu Wan hesitated for a while, holding the secret of the righteousness of working for the benefit of the people, but the shopkeeper Guan didn't think so, it seems that he already knew about these two crops.

"It was sold by a Hu person, and I also bought it from a Hu person." Liu Wan said a little regretfully, "At that time, I bought more than a dozen catties each, and he brought about twenty or thirty catties, but I didn't buy all of them, and I couldn't find them when I looked for him later, and there were no two crops to sell in the market." ”

"Hehe, I have seen these two crops in Hudi, but the yield per mu is only more than 100 catties, the taste is very good, the sweet potato is very sweet, and the potato is not very good."

Guan shopkeeper recalled.

It seems that the shopkeeper Guan is really a person who travels from south to north, and Hu Di has also been there.

But this also confirms Liu Wan's conjecture, sweet potatoes and potatoes do not have high yields in the difficult geographical environment of the Hu people, no wonder everyone does not pay attention to it.

"Yield is one thing, but one of the most amazing properties of potatoes is that they strengthen the fertility of the soil.

Potato rhizomes trap nitrogen in the air, which strengthens the soil's nitrogen content, which is a key nutrient for plant growth. ”

Liu Wan tried her best to make a language that the shopkeeper could understand, but she inevitably brought some modern terms.

The shopkeeper Guan listened to it quite fresh, and said:

"I didn't expect Aunt Liu to be well-informed, what is this 'egg'?"

"Oh, this is also what I heard from the Hu people who sought medical treatment when I was in my mother's house before, and they were more likely to tell the truth in the face of the doctor, and I didn't figure out what that 'egg' was."

Liu Wan couldn't make herself seem like she could do anything, so she had to explain it like this.

Fortunately, she has a "almighty" maiden family.

With such an explanation, the shopkeeper Guan also believed it and nodded approvingly. Then he said:

"Aunt Liu, the donation of crop seeds is a big deal, if after the dedication, you can achieve the effect you said, then the government will naturally praise it, but if it can't achieve the effect, maybe you will be punished."

Guan shopkeeper means to remind Liu Wan to pay attention.

Liu Wan could hear the euphemistic refusal of the shopkeeper Guan. Thinking about it again, she can also understand the painstaking work of the shopkeeper.

The issue of displaced people involves complex problems, and there are also interests of all parties in the game, which is by no means something that an ordinary businessman can afford.

If you sacrifice these two special crops, if you can really produce tens of thousands of catties per mu, you don't know whose cake you moved, and when the time comes, even if the government has a reward, you don't know how you will die later.

Because they are displaced, they can be used by all parties to achieve their own economic and political goals.

The water inside is too deep and complicated.

As a successful businessman, Guan knows how to pursue advantages and avoid disadvantages.

He is willing to mention Liu Wan, but I am afraid that it is for the sake of Liu Wan who is extremely useful to him now.

After thanking the shopkeeper, Liu Wan also broke out in a cold sweat on her back.

almost stepped into the vortex of fame and fortune.

For a low-level female like her, that kind of vortex is a black hole that can swallow her to the bone.

Leaving the shopkeeper's place, Wang Jing accompanied his mother and slowly walked to the opposite street.

Speaking of potatoes and sweet potatoes, Wang Jing asked with some puzzlement:

"Mother, why do you want to take care of those homeless people farming? It's a troublesome thing, and if there's a problem, isn't it all on you? ”

Liu Wan thought for a while and said, "I thought about it before, they came here to ask for a bite to eat.

In the past, when the government did not divide the land, they made trouble everywhere in the city, but now that the land is divided, the security in the city is much better.

But just coaxing them out is not a solution, if the problem of eating is not solved, it will still be chaotic sooner or later.

If the yield of sweet potatoes and potatoes is really that high, it will solve their hunger problem, and they will be able to live here without causing trouble. ”
