Chapter Two Hundred and Four: It's about to be uneasy
The round leaves are very similar to sweet potato leaves, and some are slightly lacey, and even some are like trumpet flowers, and the vines are entangled, like ropes being woven together, covering the sweet potatoes under the ground with a layer of turquoise quilt.
This turned out to be a sweet potato, but what did she really want, she actually found a sweet potato, looking at the lush appearance of the leaves, Shui Miaomiao's eyes were shiny and shiny, and she stepped forward by herself without the help of others, and found the roots along those vines, and the small hoe in her hand was raised high.
A few hoes go down to see the red-skinned sweet potatoes under the soil, one by one fat next to each other, like children warming each other, see the water and saliva are going to fall, sweet potatoes are very good food, pull sweet potatoes, roasted sweet potatoes, dried sweet potatoes, sweet potato crisps, sweet potato porridge, etc., many ways to eat.
"This is sweet potato, but the sweet potato here may lack fertilizer and human care, and the yield is much lower, and if someone takes care of it, the yield can be doubled." It's a pity to look at these sweet potatoes, although this sweet potato has produced a lot of fruits, but the growth is not very good, it looks like there is a lack of people to take care of it, and no one helps to turn the leaves, so the yield is a little low.
"You're saying that this sweet potato is not enough in one plant." Ouyang Ling was a little surprised, there are at least five catties of sweet potatoes here, could it be said that the yield of this sweet potato can be increased again.
Shui Miaomiao dug out all the sweet potatoes next to her, carefully put them all into the back basket, and even those sweet potato seedlings did not let go, did not answer the words of the person next to her, but ordered Shaoguang to send the things back.
"Shaoguang, you also send these leaves back, I heard that those horses and cattle and sheep love to eat, you let people feed them first, as for this sweet potato, put it in the cellar for the time being, and wait for me to go back."
Seeing Shaoguang leave, she turned back to the man who was still looking at her behind her and said, "If this sweet potato is taken care of, it can yield at least 1,000 catties per mu, which is still the most conservative estimate, if the fertilizer is enough and the care is good, it is possible to produce two or three thousand catties per mu." ”
In fact, the highest yield of this sweet potato in the previous life was six or seven thousand catties, but that was in the previous life, and the fertilizer was enough to achieve such a high yield, but here she also has the confidence to let these sweet potatoes yield two to three thousand catties per mu, even if it is so, it is a high yield.
In this era, the yield of rice was more than 400 catties per mu at most, and wheat could be harvested at most 400 catties, 40 catties of grain had to be paid 40 percent, rice was taxed at about 180 catties per mu, wheat was also paid about 160 catties per mu, and the rest was the peasants' own.
In addition to paying taxes and grain, they also have to pay rent to the landlords, that is to say, the remaining 200 catties have to be divided with the landlords, if they meet a good owner, they will only receive 30 percent, if they meet those ruthless owners, they will even collect 50 percent, and in the end, the tenants will only have a pitiful amount of grain left in their hands.
Therefore, this mu yields thousands of catties of grain, which is great news for the people, with these high-yield grains, Yunguo can have many fewer people starving to death.
"Miao Miao, thank you, I thank you for the people, and thank you for the soldiers at the border." Ouyang Ling, who was rough-handed, was in a very agitated mood, and he didn't know how to express his excited emotions, but he just hugged the person in his arms tightly.
"What are you thanking me for, I am also doing this for my eldest brother, he is fighting on the front line, of course I will do my best to help, as long as he can return safely." Shui Miaomiao struggled slightly, making herself more comfortable in his arms, and then gave him an angry look.
"I don't care, I'll just think you care about me, by the way, Miao Miao, what did you do with that medicine field." Ouyang Ling was a little tricky, and suddenly remembered another thing, and asked by pinching her little face with his free hand.
Yaotian, he asked what Yaotian was doing, but when it came to Yaotian, Shui Miaomiao was very proud, in just one year, she already had more than 50 acres of Yaotian, although it was opened by a barren field, but after careful care, it was already an inferior field, and it was also a first-class field if it was taken care of for a few years.
Then there are 130 acres of fertile land, of which there are 30 acres of high-grade paddy fields, 20 acres of medium paddy fields, 55 acres of high-grade dry fields, and 45 acres of medium-sized dry fields, but there is really no field suitable for planting sweet potatoes.
She has found that cotton is very expensive now, and there is no pure cotton cloth, and now the main clothes of the village are linen, and there is a kind of cloth that I don't know what to weave, although the cloth is cheap, but it is very uncomfortable to wear, anyway, she is very reluctant to wear.
The reason for this ending is also because the cotton yield of this dynasty is too low, and she really knows how to make cotton yield high, of course, she will not take out this skill now, at least let her do what she needs to do.
Ling, who must have had something in mind when he mentioned Yao Tian, turned his head to stare at her chin and asked, "What do you want to say, but you have something to say." ”
"Why are you so smart, I just see that most of the medicinal materials in you are wound medicine, and your medicine field is well cared for, I just want to ask you if you have any ideas to expand, I have a lot of fields in my hands, if you want to expand the scale, I will give you those fields."
"Give it to me, then what do you want?" Shui Miaomiao didn't believe that there was a free lunch in the world, and her big eyes squinted at the man behind her.
"There's nothing, I just want to buy wound medicine from you, but I also have more than 100,000 soldiers under my command." Ouyang Ling rubbed the top of her head with his chin, and when he said this, he also revealed some of his identity to Shui Miaomiao.
"You're also a general." Shui Miaomiao was very surprised, he is also a general, could it be that generals are so idle, just like their own eldest brother stationed at the border pass, will there be wars.
"Of course, but the place where I'm stationed is still stable, but it won't be calm for a few years, so I want to discuss it with you here and prepare in advance." Ouyang Ling's eyes were a little obscure, and she was also a little worried when she thought of the upcoming storm, but no matter what, she had to grit her teeth and hold on, if she couldn't hold on, the people they were protecting wouldn't be able to survive.
"Isn't the peaceful day about to be broken?" Shui Miaomiao is very sensitive, it is the sentence just now, she has already heard something wrong from it, does preparing things in advance mean that he is actually under a lot of pressure, pursed her lips and asked in a low voice.
