Zhang Jiye, the governor of Qingzhou, is now smiling, he has no effort, pie in the sky. Since Wang Yonggui is in Qingzhou, he vigorously promotes high-quality crops such as sweet potatoes. This year, the yield of sweet potatoes per mu in Qingzhou has reached 10,000 catties.

At present, Zhang Jiye's request for merit has arrived on the emperor's desk. Of course, Zhang Jiye did not erase the credit of Li Miao, the Jishi of the Xinke Hanlin Academy, who called Li Miao a closed disciple of Li Shouzhong?

Li Miao himself is a young Hanlin Academy, and he is very promising. Zhang Jiye also wants to have a good relationship.

Qingzhou has harvested 50,000 acres of sweet potatoes, potatoes, corn and other high-quality crops, which were quickly snatched up by surrounding farmers. The promotion of sweet potato seeds is still obvious, and the yield of this thing is too high, as long as one acre of land is planted, a family of five or six can eat all year round.

The promotion of sweet potatoes in Qingzhou is almost dozens of times the effect of Tongzhou and Wanping around the capital. At the same time, there is also the promotion of high-quality crops such as corn, wheat, and potatoes. It is also remarkable.

It seems that Qingzhou and even the entire coastal area are the main positions for the promotion of high-quality seeds in the north in the future. It is also in line with Li Miao's low-key personality. The impact on Li Miao was not great.

Zhang Jiye, the governor of Qingzhou, is in the limelight. The luck of the northern seeds harvested this time is several times greater than that of the south.

And that's just the beginning. It is estimated that after the autumn harvest next year, even if you want to stop, you can't stop, and the general trend will be achieved by then. There is no need for Li Miao to take such painstaking efforts.

This year in Qingzhou, Wang Yonggui mainly did two things. Buy land, buy barren mountains. With 200,000 taels of silver, he bought Zhongtian and Xiatian, totaling more than 20,000 acres. All the dealers are retained. More than 1,000 households, more than 3,000 or 4,000 people, plus 50 or 60 domestic slaves brought by Wang Yonggui.

Basically, domestic slaves were used to manage the households, and Wang Yonggui received fifty or sixty household slaves from the original households. Most of them are the original Zhuang heads. Train some more bankers. When the farm is busy, most of the farmers are engaged in agriculture and usually participate in training.

Wang Yonggui bought the middle of the grange. Surrounded by a barren mountain of more than 50,000 acres. Qingzhou is also a hilly area. Barren Hills don't produce anything at all. In those years, the land was poor, there was no land, and there was no fertilizer.

Wang Yonggui bought more than 20,000 acres of land in Qingzhou. Of course, 20,000 acres of land is not a small amount, although the land in Qingzhou is all dry land, the output and income are not very good, and almost no large families will come to Qingzhou to buy land.

Of course, Wang Yonggui is going to visit the local parents. Wang Yonggui, who was born as a master, is a doorman. It is Li Miao's greeting post, the ninth Jinshi in the second class of the new department, and Li Miao, the Jishi of the Hanlin Academy. It is a closed disciple of the prince of the country, the priest of the wine, Li Shouzhong, and Lord Li.

It's not a small one. People don't want anything. It is to buy land and farm. In recent years, the purchase of real estate by the Xinke Jinshi family is not new. But buying land in Qingzhou is a bit weird.

About 50,000 acres of barren mountains. It belongs to the property rights of the Qingzhou government. Wang Yonggui proposed two taels of silver per mu to buy barren mountains. Wang Yonggui still thinks that buying it is the first choice. Or you can rent it, two dollars of silver per mu per year, and the lease period is at least ten years, of course, the longer the lease period, the better.

Don't let the government see that the barren mountains have become a cornucopia, and then do some crooked brains. Wang Yonggui's bid has exceeded the market price, and the barren mountain itself is worthless. There was no output at all. Besides, he didn't want to embarrass Zhang Jiye.

In the end, Zhang Jiye, the prefect of Qingzhou, was still because Qingzhou was too poor, and it was more appropriate to turn the barren mountains directly into silver. For 80,000 taels of silver, 50,000 acres of barren mountains were sold. Zhizhou Zhang Jiye also smiled at Wang Yonggui's five thousand taels of silver tickets.

In the end, more than 50,000 acres of barren mountains that have not changed for thousands of years were planted by Wang Yonggui with a yield of 10,000 catties of sweet potatoes per mu.

Of course, fertility is also inseparable. Raise chickens, pigs, and sheep to increase the soil strength of the barren mountains, if the soil strength is almost 5,000 catties of sweet potatoes per mu yield is still there. Anyway, it is the continuous input that will produce the output. The land and the barren mountains were bought for a total of 285,000 taels of silver.

These more than 70,000 acres of land have become Li Miao's base camp on the seaside of Qingzhou, and more than 600 Zhuang Ding are usually selected for training. All of them were led by the original family members for training. But the food is good, and the meat is enough, I haven't seen Zhuang Ding eat like this in these years. Can't you keep up with martial arts nutrition?

For most of the year, a group of Zhuang Ding has really become strong men. The food of the farmers has also improved significantly, and I have never seen such a proprietor. Needless to say, the farmers and slaves also quickly returned to their hearts.

The dealers were worried that they would not be more miserable if they changed the owner, but now they are living the life they have always dreamed of, can they not thank this atmospheric owner?

More than 20,000 acres of original middle and lower fields were planted with wheat, corn, and potatoes, and the yield is also very high. But compared with sweet potatoes, it is still far behind.

After the autumn harvest this year, there are too many farmers and landlords around Qingzhou who come to buy sweet potato seeds. More than 10,000 catties of sweet potatoes per acre, in addition to leaving seeds. Sold all, there is basically not much left. The sweet potatoes alone were sold and earned more than 300,000 taels of silver. Farming can still be so lucrative.

This is still sold cheaply for two pennies a catty. Wang Yonggui could have sold higher, but Li Miao took care of it again and again, not just for the purpose of making money. Instead, to promote high-quality seeds first, Wang Yonggui discovered the owner's Gao Feng Liang Festival for the first time, which is really for the livelihood of the people.

The second thing is to buy a 500-acre abandoned factory at Qingzhou Wharf. A total of 50,000 taels of silver was spent, and all the craftsmen in the original factory were retained, and some idle craftsmen were purchased from the surrounding areas.

Mainly carpenters and blacksmiths. Less than two months. The factory was back up and running. It mainly produces agricultural tools. Also custom sailboats. Li Miao gave Wang Yonggui one million taels of silver, and spent more than 300,000 taels at the beginning of the year.

After the autumn harvest in October, not only did all the silver spent at the beginning of the year come back, but there were also more than 400,000 taels of silver. Li Miao's voice sounded in Wang Yonggui's ears again. "Steward Wang's money is your silver when it is spent, and the silver you save is the most useless."

But the proprietor. I'm spending it out and coming back. Let's talk about the proprietor. You won't let me continue to buy property, saying that you can't be too high-profile. Wang Yonggui is now worried about the silver in his hand?

The silver in Wang Yonggui's hand not only did not spend, but increased. It seems that the only way to spend the money on the island is to spend it. Wang Yonggui knew that this big sea ship could not be built now. The construction of small sea boats has already begun.

A few months ago, Li Miao specially sent someone to send the most advanced drawings for the manufacture of small sea boats today, as well as the most advanced smelting technology, so that Wang Yonggui could hand them over to the absolutely trustworthy craftsmen, and instructed them to be destroyed in person after the craftsmen digested and absorbed.
