That night, eating the fish he caught, Li Chengqian only felt that this fish was particularly delicious.

After dinner, I was alone in the study, and I read the book alone for a long time before I returned to the house and rested quietly!

Early the next morning!

"Young master, this year's corn has been drying outside since the beginning of winter, just because this heavy snow came too suddenly.

We had to pile up the corn in the makeshift warehouses.

The weather is very good today, and I have sent someone to put all the corn in the warehouse in the square to dry.

It's just that there is still a lot of sand and gravel in this corn, and I have sent someone to filter it and put it in bags.

The rest of the people have also been arranged for Zhuangzi's people to select, please rest assured that the young master! ”

"I don't have to worry about your work, and the livestock of Zhuangzi will also feed them more coarse grain.

The winter will soon pass, and they will need to be planted next spring. ”

"It's the young master, don't worry!"

The square of Zhaojiazhuang, a mountain of corn.

The people of Zhuangzi are holding sieves and shovels for screening.

On the other side, the screened corn is taken in sacks by a special person, and all of them are packed together and stored in the warehouse.

And the rest of the mixed with the stones were put aside, and the remaining men, women, and children of Zhuangzi were selected inside!

"Brother Li, you're here, hurry up, we've already chosen this position for you!"

Today is the second day that Li Chengqian came to pick corn.

Because of his relationship with Zhao Mu at this level, coupled with his profound knowledge, and the momentum of a superior person from his body, everyone recognized Li Chengqian as a big brother!

The first time he saw corn, Li Chengqian was very puzzled, in his impression, he had never seen this thing.

It's just that on the first day, I didn't ask anyone, and I followed them and did it quietly.

To this day, I couldn't bear it in my heart and asked the question!

"I've always heard you say it's called corn, do you know what this corn is for?"

"Brother Li, of course we know what this corn is for, of course this corn is eaten!"

Food?

"But why haven't I eaten in Zhuangzi for a long time?"

"Brother Li, you are not our Zhuangzi, and you are still with the young master, and you have not eaten normally in the Zhuangzi.

But we don't, we can often eat corn, and this corn is ground into flour, and we can make cakes, and it's very delicious.

You can also boil it into porridge and put some sugar in it, or boil the corn in water.

Anyway, there are several ways to eat it, and each way to eat it is very fragrant. ”

They are all children of poor families, and they have only been here for a few years.

I think that they have eaten the last meal and the next meal, and even gnawed the bark of the tree, and now they have this delicious corn every day, which is a blessing for them to cultivate.

As he spoke, Li Chengqian's stomach gurgled and screamed.

Is the corn they had never seen before really so delicious as they say?

"Brother Li, they don't say it all, in addition to eating us, these corns can also be fed to livestock.

The cattle, sheep, horses, pigs, chickens, ducks and so on at home can be eaten, and they will grow old and fat after eating these corns.

Especially the pig ate corn and grew fat and fat, I heard the adults say that there is still more than a month, or more than half a month, and Zhuangzi is going to kill the pig.

At that time, there will be meat to eat, and now that I think about it, I'm hungry! ”

Feed the livestock?

Li Chengqian felt that there was no problem with his ears, and these little brothers said that they were indeed feeding livestock.

What a proud family is that this food for people is used to feed livestock?

"If the grain is actually fed to the livestock, then the yield of this corn must be 10 points high, right?"

"The yield per mu of corn must be 8 stones.

No, no, it's not 8 stones, I remember my father said that Zhuangzi's corn is at least 9 stones.

How can it be 9 stones, I heard other uncles say it is 10 stones. ”

No, no, it's your mistake, it's 8, and for a while, several people began to discuss the problem of more yield per mu.

I didn't see Li Chengqian's eyes at all, they were already bigger than a cow.

This corn can reach a yield of 10 stones per mu?

What is the concept of 10 stones per mu, although he is a prince and has been studying in the East Palace, it does not mean that he does not know anything about folk affairs.

For the grain produced by the people, the yield per mu is 1.5 to 2 stones.

In the event of a natural disaster, less than 1 stone of grain may be produced, and the grain in the hands of the people will not be enough if the taxes paid are included.

At that time, it was necessary to open a warehouse in the court to release grain and provide relief to the victims.

And the thing called corn in front of him can reach a yield of 10 stones per mu.

This yield is 5 times the highest yield of their ordinary grain, such a terrifying yield, which made Li Chengqian wonder if his ears had heard it wrong?

"I said you little brothers, you can't be mistaken, right?

How can this corn yield be so high?

Now my Datang grain, the highest yield is only two stones, and there is also this grain that we eat, how can we feed the livestock? ”

"Big brother, you misunderstand what we mean, if we feed all the grain to the animals, what will we eat?

This corn is just forage, and it will be mixed with other forage to feed this group of animals. ”

The more they talked, the more energetic they became, and the more Li Chengqian listened, the more confused he became.

Anyway, when I heard this, I already understood the general meaning.

Corn can be eaten by people, and the yield per mu is 10 stones.

"Alas, it's a pity, this yield is so high, this corn must be very troublesome to grow."

In my own feelings, the better the thing, the more complicated it must be to manufacture.

Just like the clothes they usually wear, they are made of ordinary cloth, and this kind of cloth is very simple to make, and it takes 10 days to make a horse.

And like the silk offered by Jiang Nanjin, it takes at least 60 days to make a horse.

And most of them were exclusively for the imperial palace, and the remaining part was purchased by the princes and grandsons.

It can cost 10 times or even 20 times the price of ordinary cloth!

"Big brother, I won't tell you that this corn is very convenient to grow.

Even we, every time we watched our father plant, we already knew how to plant.

Spring ploughing, sowing, fertilization and watering, waiting for the corn seedlings to come out before picking, leaving a gap of one step in between.

Wait until the corn grows to weed and continue watering until a good harvest.

It's just a pity that we are still relatively young now, and if we reach the age of marriage, we will marry a wife and have children.

The young master will also allocate us a few acres of fertile land, and we can farm the land by ourselves. ”

Envy +1

Envy +1

"I won't be the same as you, my father said, when I grow up, I will be a guard in Zhuangzi, protect the young master and protect everyone in Zhuangzi, just like my father.

Rest assured, you have to farm steadily, and I will protect your safety! ”

"Ah, you're as weak as a chick now, and you're still trying to protect us with your physique?"

"My father said that everyone in our family grows up, do you know what it means to grow?

After a certain age, your physique will grow, so don't be complacent! ”

Hahahaha!
