Potatoes are cold and drought tolerant, also have high yields, are eaten in a variety of ways, and taste good.

To transport potatoes to Liaodong, one is to use them as grain, the second is to save money, and the third is to let the people taste them and improve their enthusiasm for planting next year.

Obviously, the goal has been achieved. At least for the Yingzi family, they like the taste of potatoes quite a lot. Baked potatoes, in particular, have a similar taste to roasted sweet potatoes.

You must know that although sweet potatoes are also a high-yield crop, they are not suitable for cultivation in the north, especially when the climate is getting colder.

But in the south, the impact is not too great, and after harvesting and transporting to the north, it can also solve the food crisis.

"I like to eat too, there are no sweet potatoes, and the same is true for potatoes." Yingzi laughed twice, waited for the skin of the potato to be a little cold, and like his father, after breaking it open, he ate it slowly.

Yingzi's father stopped for a moment, but he didn't tell his daughter after all that he had planted sweet potatoes in his own land.

Although the government said that the climate was getting colder and that sweet potatoes were not suitable for cultivation, he still held out some hopes, even if it was for nothing.

"Girl, did you talk anything new in the night school last year?" Yingzi's father swallowed the soft potatoes in his mouth and asked with a smile.

Yingzi thought for a while and said, "Mr. read the newspaper and explained it." The new Jilin Mansion was built, further north of our place. The imperial court has a policy that those who go to live in Jilin Mansion will not be taxed for six years of reclamation of wasteland; After six years, only 30% of the normal tax will be collected; Ten years later, only 50% of the normal ......"

After careful consideration, the emperor still did not let go of the land, to be precise, he did not let go of the private ownership of the land.

But you can have territory, which is ready-made arable land that has been cleared by the army. You can also reclaim the land yourself, and you have the right to cultivate the land in perpetuity, and the tax will not rise to the normal level until fifteen years later.

"This policy is really good, that is, it is not allowed to abandon farming." Yingzi's eyes flashed, and he said: "The abandoned land will be recovered by the state, and if you want it again, you have to re-register and pay taxes." ”

Yingzi's father bowed his head slightly and said, "It's really good, it's almost Caucasian." ”

After a pause, Yingzi's father shook his head again and said, "It's a pity, Jilin Mansion is too far away, besides, our family can't cultivate so much land." ”

Yingzi thought so, and said: "Our family is very good now, if God takes care of it, we can ease up in a year or two, so we don't go to the bitter cold place in the north!" ”

"yes, we're not going." Yingzi's father nodded vigorously and said: "Jianyu has escaped, but it has not been completely destroyed in the end, the further north it is, the more dangerous it is, and it is not as safe as us here." ”

Yingzi chuckled and said, "Dad, Jianyu is finished, and there are so many people left who can thrive again?" When the army pushes over, they will have to surrender if they don't starve to death! ”

"It's not all gone, so you still have to be careful." Yingzi's father didn't feel timid, and when he heard his daughter's laughter, he stroked his beard and was in a good mood.

As he spoke, a familiar voice came from outside. It was the snort of the horses and the shouting of the pillars.

Yingzi hurriedly stood up, but the father had already reached out to stop her, went out first to open the door of the compound, and helped Zhang Zhuzi to drive in and unload the horse.

Zhang Zhuzi looked at his wife standing by the door, a smile appeared on his face, and drove a few sheep from the car.

"This sheep is good." Yingzi's father nodded again and again, and said, "Usually I come to put it, and you take care of it in the field." ”

Zhang Zhuzi smiled and said: "This goat's milk is for Yingzi's body, the book says that what is in it is raised." ”

"Nutritious, nutritious." Yingzi said with a smile: "What the emperor said is to let the people of the Ming Dynasty have milk to drink." ”
