Chapter 83: Choosing a Farming Match (33)
The strong men were so excited that they were about to cry.
"Princess, will you still harvest soybean beans next year?"
"Close!" Xu Yin's answer was very affirmative, "It's the same as sugarcane, you can harvest as much as you want." β
They made up their minds and decided to go back and tell the patriarch that except for those high-grade paddy fields that still grow rice and are high-yielding rice exchanged with the princess, all the inferior fields are interplanted with corn and rice beans.
In their village, the inferior fields are several times larger than the superior paddy fields.
In the past, I always complained that God didn't give them a way to live, the yield of rice planting was low, and planting corn was a waste of land, but now I understand: It's not that God doesn't give them a way to live, it's that they themselves don't find the right direction.
Xu Yin is also concerned about the growth of a handful of sugarcane, and the woodworking workshop is almost finished with the juicer, waiting for the sugarcane to be transported in batches to produce sugar.
The sugar workshop has been selected and is under construction, just in the southern suburbs of Fucheng.
The wealthy prince bought all the fields around the workshop and used it to grow sugar cane. The sugar mill and sugarcane base are planned in one place, saving the trouble of transportation.
A few days after buying the land, Yan Kejin received a letter from the guards who went to Vietnam to buy fruit saplings from flying pigeons, saying that in a county town in the eastern part of Qin County, they had found the black and purple sugarcane that the princess had said at the beginning, and the locals had planted it as fruit and sold it.
When Xu Yin learned the news, she urged Yan Kejin to reply to the guards, asking him to buy all the purple sugarcane there, and then count the quantity, if there are more, don't find a carriage to transport it to Fucheng, the cost is too high, it is better to build a sugar workshop directly in the local area. Black purple skin sugar cane boiled earthy brown sugar is no better!
It's okay to start the sugarcane, she wrote the burial method at the end of the letter, and kept it in this way, and it won't rot next year.
As for the candidates for sugar production......
Dongxue followed her back and forth several times, and she was already proficient in the production of red and white sugar, and sent her there to make sugar after the year.
If there is not enough manpower, a few more rough mothers-in-law will be transferred to the past.
Before the guard's reply was received, the progress bar of the [Explore Baigui County] mission given by the system quietly moved a little forward.
Verified that her guess was right - as long as it was the person she sent out, the harvest of exploration would also belong to her.
At this rate, maybe you will be able to explore Baigui County before the year:
Because Yan Jiu went to the rainforest area, he indirectly explored the southwest.
Eleventh first went to the outer continent of Vietnam, and then stopped in the eastern part of Qin County, which is equivalent to exploring the southern and southeastern blocks of the county.
After pondering like this, she asked Yan Kejin to seconded a few guards and sent them to the north of the county, the east of the county, the west of the county and the surrounding areas of the city.
They were given the task of examining local specialties and geography.
What the people planted, what they ate, and what they made a living from, they recorded everything in detail and brought it back to her.
The time limit of the mission is set before the year.
The palace guards, the New Year still has to be neat and tidy.
If this strategy works, then in the coming year, the other four counties can be swept in this way.
Xu Yin is looking forward to it.
The first to return from his errand was Eleven, who returned to Fucheng before winter with a wagon of southern fruits and specialties.
"Princess, the sugar workshop has been built, and the sugarcane you bought earlier is buried in the soil according to your method, and you can dig it up and use it at any time."
Xu Yin praised him a few words when she heard this.
Yan Kejin heard this with a sour heart, and waved his hand to let Eleven retreat: "Very idle? Then go to help you Brother Shi, he went to the west, and only once came the news, it is reported that the mountain bandits in the Baipu area are rampant, and Bao Buqi has encountered it. β
"Yes, lord."
"Hey, wait."
Xu Yin saw that Eleven was leaving, so she asked Mama to wrap one of the banana chips, taro sticks, dried sweet potatoes, and popcorn that she baked a few days ago, and motioned for Eleven to take it and eat it.
"It's been a hard time, so let's try it. When the fruit tree seedlings you bring with you are planted next year, there will be more dried fruit. There is roast duck in the big kitchen today, you can also bring one back to add another dish, and when your brothers come back, I will pick up the wind and wash the dust for you. β
Yan Shiyi thanked happily.
Yu Guang caught a glimpse of the master's unhappy face, his back was cold, and he retreated with his burden in his arms.
Yan Kejin waited for him to go out, turned his head to look at the princess: "Didn't you say that those were all made for this king?" β
Xu Yin froze slightly: Did she say this?
Even if it was saidβ
ββ¦β¦ Can you eat all that alone? β
"If you can't finish eating, it's also the king's."
"......" is naΓ―ve!
"These are freshly baked and delicious, and they will turn damp and oily after a long time. I thought you were just trying to eat a little fresh...... Okay, I know you like it, can I do it for you every once in a while? β
Yan Kejin: "......"
What's going on with this coaxing child's tone?
Xu Yin took the opportunity to divert the topic: "Let's go and see what fruits Eleven has brought back." I heard him say that some of the fruits from Vietnam and the continent grow very strangely, and I don't know if they taste good or not......
Yan Kejin let her pull her to the front yard.
Xu Yin thought that there were only fruits and other local products, but she didn't expect that there was also a box of South Sea pearls.
Yan Kejin glanced at it, and stuffed it into her arms in disgust: "The color and specifications are not superior, and it is okay to make beads and wear them for fun." β
Xu Yin was funny in her heart, this arrogant man.
"Then what kind of pearl do you say can get into your eyes?" She looked at him playfully.
Yan Kejin snorted: "Wait." β
Xu Yin didn't know why.
It wasn't until dinner time that he came to the main courtyard with a delicate jewel box.
"I've got you."
Xu Yin took a look, and in the jewelry box was a pair of jade and white pearls, each of which was the size of a pigeon's egg, white and shining.
"My mother's relics, if she were still there, she would have given them to you."
"But......" Xu Yin looked up at him, "this is not what my grade can wear." β
Yan Kejin glanced at her: "It's just for you to keep it, not for you to wear it, what's the panic!" Didn't you ask the king, what kind of pearls can get into the king's eyes? At least this grade. β
"......" dog man.
β¦β¦
Entering Layue, the guards of the Yanzi team sent out to investigate have come back one after another to recover their lives.
Yan 15 brought back the local products of the eastern part of the county and a thick pile of records, and replied with a happy face:
"The prince, the princess, the subordinates are fortunate not to be dishonored!"
Xu Yin looked at what he brought back, No wonder the young man was so happy and dared to find a coal mountain in the eastern mountains of the county-
Yokai Mountain, which is known as the "Ominous Land" by the locals.
The mountains are all black, not a single inch of grass grows, every year it is the Ghost Festival in July, there is black smoke lingering on the mountain from time to time, the people are afraid to get close to this mountain, there are no people in a radius of 100 miles.
When Yan 15 followed the march of King Jinnan to fight, he was fortunate to see a coal mountain in Yanbei, which was similar to the exposition of the people with horror, so he prepared enough rations and drinking water, went deep into the mountainside to explore, and found that it was indeed a coal mountain, stretching for hundreds of miles, and the coal reserves would never be less.
"Good!"
Rao is Yan Kejin, who has always been calm and composed, can't help but be ecstatic at the moment.
