Chapter 207: The rice fields are expanded again
In addition to Zhang and Li, there are also a few fresh faces.
After Li Cong's introduction, Yi Mingxue learned the identities of several people, who were basically squires from nearby villages and towns.
When they heard about the winter rice grown in Dahe Village, they were amazed.
Moreover, seeing that it was almost time for spring planting, of course they had to plan ahead.
In the past few days when they were squatting in Yi Mingxue, this group of people had already gone to the rice fields of Dahe Village to observe countless times.
Now that the field is full of winter rice, I am afraid that it will be harvested in more than a month.
Although this matter is incredible, the facts are in front of us.
and there is no room for them to disbelieve.
Therefore, everyone can't wait to join the ranks of rice planting.
Now that I saw Yi Mingxue, naturally they all rushed up and clamored to join her.
Of course, Yi Mingxue will not refuse, if she wants to grasp the lifeblood of food, it is natural that the wider the planting area, the better.
So she simply stood on the stone bench and announced in a loud voice.
"Everyone, don't be impatient, the rules of cooperation must be clear to everyone. If there is no objection, go to our village chief Li to register. ”
"When the time comes, I will distribute the seedlings according to the number of acres registered in each village, so that everyone can plant them all before the spring planting."
"Great!" With her words, the stone in everyone's hearts completely fell.
After all, according to the usual practice, if a village has such good seedlings and technology, it will either hide them or spend a lot of money to buy them.
But this Yi Mingxue is different, she is not only willing to provide seedlings, but also will eventually buy grain at market prices.
It's no wonder that her car dealership is doing a good job.
Such a person deserves her to be rich.
The villagers are now full of praise for Yi Mingxue, and they rushed to Li Cong on the spot and clamored to register.
Li Cong recorded in an orderly manner, and at the same time did not forget to take the time to chat with Yi Mingxue about business.
"Big girl! Then what about the land in the east mountain of our village? What do you think is the right plant? ”
Yi Mingxue had been prepared for this, and she took out two potatoes and put them in front of him.
"Although the East Mountain is more fertile than the West Mountain, it is still sandy land in nature, and of course the sand land is to grow potatoes."
"Potatoes? What's that? None of the people on the side had ever heard of this thing, so they couldn't help but ask curiously.
Yi Mingxue didn't explain too much, only said that it was a crop imported from Nanyang, and she also got the mother seed by chance.
After knowing that this dark thing could be eaten, several of the villagers immediately slapped the table.
"The sand is suitable for growing these Rausch potatoes? Most of our village is sandy! Great, I'm going to plant this potato too! ”
Li Cong was made a little crying and laughing by him, "Then do you still plant these eight acres of rice?" ”
"Seed!" The man who spoke immediately answered, "Rice is planted in the fields, potatoes are planted in the mountains!" Seed them all! ”
"Haha-" The old man spoke with an accent, and the eagerness of his tone made the rest of the people look up and laugh.
Yi Mingxue doesn't hide it, and those who are willing to plant potatoes if they have the conditions are all registered.
Everyone squatted in Dahe Village for four or five days.
In the end, not only was rice successfully planted in the field, but even the sandy land on the mountain, which had little hope, was settled, and it was natural to smile.
And Yi Mingxue looked at the rising planting area on the register, and her heart was also happy.
The scene was full of joy.
As soon as the villagers left, Yi Mingxue directly called Li Cong.
"You gather all the women in the village who are nimble, and I want to train a few seedling experts." ”
As the area she cultivates expands, so does the task of growing seedlings.
Today alone, there are more than 200 acres of land.
Together with the villages organized by Chen Xianglao a few years ago, including Dahe Village and Shanjia Village, the rice fields she plans to cultivate now have more than 300 acres.
According to the quality of seeds and planting technology in the past in this world, one acre of land can produce about 300 catties of grain.
And the seeds she gave have been transformed by modern technology and blessed with her spiritual power.
Not to mention the yield of 1,000 catties per mu, it is absolutely possible to be conservative at a point of 800 catties.
That means that when the harvest is harvested this summer, the total output of all villages can reach 240,000 catties.
Even if the farmers pay the rent and taxes, and keep enough of their family's rations for a year, they can sell four to fifty percent to Yi Mingxue.
That is, 100,000 catties of grain.
You know, this is just the harvest of the first season.
She still hasn't told everyone that her rice is a super good seed with two crops a year.
This also means that she can have a stable supply of at least 200,000 catties of food every year.
And that's not counting the future increments.
At that time, I am afraid that the grain merchants in the entire southwest region will have to obediently hand her tea.
……
That night, Yi Mingxue compiled the potato planting method into a book.
Including how to cut seeds, how to dig pits, how to bury soil, how to water.
Even how to judge the health of potatoes based on the leaves, and how to save seeds for the next year after harvesting, are all clearly recorded.
She will control the core of rice cultivation in order to have a strong hole card in troubled times.
However, if the cultivation of potatoes can be popularized, it will allow more poor people to eat and have enough to eat.
This can be regarded as a survival weapon that she left to these hard-working and simple people.
After all, troubled times together.
The superior will only care about the ambition and hegemony in his heart, and who will look down at these humble and weak stepping stones that are splashed by horses.
Li Cong is really reliable.
In less than half a day, all the idle women in the village were gathered.
Yi Mingxue spent a whole day teaching them the steps to cultivate seedlings.
They were advised to build a small greenhouse with rammed earth in their yards, which would help improve the success rate of seedling cultivation.
Of course, she still provides the most crucial seeds, including the water to make the cultivation soil.
Today's Dahe villagers have an indescribable trust and worship for Yi Mingxue.
Anyway, she said whatever she was, and they would do whatever she said.
Considering that she will have little time to return to the village in the future, Yi Mingxue simply chose a person in charge and put the power down.
"Now all the villages want to buy our seedlings, which is a good opportunity for the big guys to make money."
"From today onwards, Uncle Zhu is the leader of your cultivation group. The seedlings you have raised will be handed over to her, and I will pay you according to the number of plants she counts. ”
She has been observing Zhu Boniang for a long time, don't look at her usually very gossipy, it seems that there is nothing in the village that she doesn't know.
But in fact, she is very popular, especially with these women in the village.
Being able to have a good relationship with all women shows that she has methods and means.
So leave this matter to her, and Yi Mingxue is also relieved.
Zhu Boniang was a little flattered at first, but soon calmed down amid the cheers of everyone.
She rubbed her hands a little embarrassed, then looked at Yi Mingxue, and said in a matter-of-fact manner, "Then I will also pay attention to it, and from now on, I will also call you the owner!" ”
As he spoke, he really called solemnly, "The owner! ”
Yi Mingxue: "......"
Yes, it's very ceremonial.
