Fields of Gold

Chapter 349: Old Things Again

Zhou's workshop, in several villages, harvested eggs to make eggs, but the eggs don't worry about selling, and the chickens also have a way of selling. Big Brother Hai's neighbor Zhou's house, didn't he just raise chickens to make money? Stand up for the cowardice, starve for the cowardice. Liu Tongzhu thought it was a good idea to raise chickens.

Zhongzhu's daughter-in-law felt that she was still not very solid, so she asked her eldest daughter, Huifang, to ask Yu Xiaohua. In her mind, Yu Xiaograss is a small gold grass that makes money, and if she nods her head, the chicken is definitely well earned.

When Liu Huifang arrived at Yu's house, Yu Xiaohua was wondering, if you open a halibut shop, you can't just have pork, you have to accompany some chicken and duck vegetables and so on. Vegetables are good, they are grown in their own yard, and vegetables will be available on the market in a few days. The ducks are fine, Mao next door even bought a couple hundred duck chicks this year, arrived in the pond in the backyard every day, went home to feed some vegetables at night, and it didn't cost much food.

Zhou Jia's chickens are less optimistic. Good thing Zhou Coral's father and brother walked the village alley. There are more places to run, and they can bring back some cheap rice bran and gluten. As such, Zhou Jia still doesn't dare to raise too many chickens, more than a hundred chickens, let alone supply Zhenzheng Tower, it is not necessarily enough to open a halibut shop for Yuxiao!

Sister Huifang came to tell her that she wanted to raise a chicken. Yu Xiaograss of course raised her hands and feet in favour, and promised to buy her chicken at a price that was two minutes higher than the market price. Tell her not to sell it to anyone else.

Liu Huifang completely let go of the heart he was talking about. She glanced at Yu Xiaograss with a smile. "Our relationship, don't do that kind of fiction, then we can do it according to the market price, we can't always take advantage of your house, right? If I don't tell you, I'll have my parents pick up the chicks. ”

Day after day, Yujia's vegetables were sold again and again, and a dozen acres of watermelon matured. Don't look at the watermelon this year more than in previous years. Several towns and capital cities around have come to negotiate business with Yu Jia. They don't need the rest of the shipment, they pull it themselves and give it to them at wholesale prices.

The Liu Hu family is still selling watermelons in town. They can afford watermelons. It's not bad money at all. Don't look at last year as a disaster year. It doesn't affect the hot heat of watermelon sales in any way. In more than a month, the Liu Hu family has made several times more money than last year, more than two hundred taels!

Last year the County King made a few cars of watermelons, causing a sensation in the capital, and the house town was a little heartbeat. He worked privately with his three uncles in Little Grass, putting them in charge of transportation, and he was in charge of sales channels in Beijing, earning half the money.

Watermelon prices in the capital city are much more expensive than in the ancient town of Tang, and have multiplied by several times in Beijing. This kind of profit, it's false to say that you don't feel comfortable. The three Liu brothers have decided to dry! The house provided carriages, and the three brothers hired several darts from the dart station to escort them to Dry Grass's dowry shop. In late spring and early summer, the three Liu brothers made thousands of taels of silver when they went to Beijing.

In the blink of an eye, in the summer, the spring corn matured. Although the rainwater is relatively low this summer, the corn itself is a drought-tolerant crop, and Yu Xiaozhu ordered that it be best irrigated with well water. The corn on Yujiazi is growing well.

During the harvest season, Yu Xiaograss sat with Dad in town. The Yangshen King didn't know what he was busy with for the last two months, but he never showed up. It was only a few days before the summer harvest that I rushed in.

“Yo! I've been too moist in the capital to leave the capital?” Yu Xiaograss saw a skinny but good Yangxian king in the dark and couldn't bear to crush him.

Zhu Junyang squinted her beautiful phoenix eyes and swept her with a faint glance. “Your grandfather is you, greedy and entertaining, you don't want to move forward!! Grandpa went to Torrey Mountain to fight the bandits!! ”

Mount Torrey has gathered a group of bandits, burned and looted, and the people in the vicinity suffer greatly. Tai 'an Zhi Fu is on the fold, requesting backup. Zhu Junyang recommended himself. He took a team of elite soldiers and went deep into the mountains. He took out a pot of bandits. Zhu Junyang is strong in martial arts, flexible in tactics, with few people, but with few victories, he punched all those people together!

Yu Xiaoxue heard Chief Liu paint a colorful account of the bandit's experience. A pair of large eyes suddenly became star eyes. Wow! Young hero, she's amazing, she sees a living master!!

“Little King, can you cross the river and trample the snow seamlessly? Can you pick leaves and fly flowers and take lives? Do you bowl down the mountain and become obsessed? You can…”

“Stop, stop, stop! What a mess, you think the master is a fairy, can do anything!! According to you, how many of the best men who came to this station could destroy the whole city?” Zhu Junyang really wanted to pry open this little Niko's head and see what was stuffed inside. How could there be such a crazy idea?

Yu Xiaoxue also thought that master is not an atomic bomb, destroying the martial arts of the heavens and the earth, presumably only exists in martial arts novels?

Looking at the sunken corn stick on a corn pole, Zhu Junyang smashed the next ear with his own hands, stripping the leaves off the outside, the yellow clear corn particles were densely arranged, the pieces were full, no less colorful than the rest of last year's family had grown.

Short-term workers hired worked hard in the county's 800 + acres of maize fields, the East family paid quite a lot of money, and there was little skill in breaking maize, even women and half the children could do it. Anyway, paychecks are based on breaking down the weight of corn. It's a lot of work, and the labor enthusiasm of the short-term workers is unprecedented. Often the ground goes down before dawn, waiting for the corn to be broken at night.

Yujiazhuang only has more than 100 acres of land, divided into more than 16 people to take care of it. After collecting it, it is evaluated according to the amount of acres produced. The top three producers received rewards of five taels, three taels and one tael of silver respectively.

Although the mother and son of widow Li did not have much land to share, they were among the top three producers. Although not the largest, they were also rewarded with three taels of silver. The widow Li and her son knelt down to the Dong family on the spot. If they hadn't followed the Dong family correctly, they might have starved to death in the spring.

For more than two months, not only was there money available during spring farming, but monthly wages were also available, leaving a balance in addition to food purchases. In the past two months, when the yellow and blue did not answer, the mother and child could eat a dry meal every day, which was not dare to think of in previous years. Not only did the mother and son have a red face, they also grew some meat, and they no longer looked like refugees.

With three taels of silver, the widow Li can't believe it's true! What a white flower silver, she has never seen so much money in her life. After the ecstasy, she panicked: Lately there was not much peace in the estate, and it was not necessarily a good thing to keep the silver for their orphaned widows!

“Dongjia, can you help us replace this silver with grain or cloth cotton?” The widow Li is also decisive, replacing silver money with much-needed items for both mothers and children.

Yu Xiaograss also thought about the situation between mother and son, took over the silver and nodded: “Okay! I'll save the silver for you first. Wait for the cotton to come down and help you replace it with cotton, cotton cloth and coarse grain! If you two are in a hurry, you can also ask me to take the silver back..."

She took the silver in front of everyone. After the crowd dispersed, Xiaograss quietly found Li's widow and sent the silver back to her hands. “Silver, you still have it in your hand, and the flowers are convenient to use. Now, everyone thinks I saved the silver for you, don't worry about being misplaced! ”

The widow Li was very touched. Miss Dongjia really had seven talents and a kind person. It's the luck of their mothers and their children to follow such a home. Yu Xiaograss didn't expect a trivial move, in exchange for the mother and son to follow each other dead heart...

Yu Xiaograss is very satisfied with the corn production this year. Corn sticks are generally much larger than last year, and the output is also quite a bit higher than last year. The corn acreage production in his house reached a maximum of 2600 kg, and more than 30 acreage acreage also reached a high yield of 1800 kg. The Yangshen King has a relatively low yield, with the highest yield of 2,200 kg and the lowest yield of 1,600 kg. The Imperial Village of Beijing is a fertile good field, and the corn yield is about the same as that of the Yangshen King.

When the news came out, the whole chapel boiled. In the Da Ming dynasty, where the mu production of food crops is generally 2300 kg, the production of 2,000 kg of corn mu is a myth. It is indeed true that the emperor has always missed the high yield crops he is looking for.

The North is affected by climatic factors and soil structure, and food crop production is generally lower than in the South, where people live in abject conditions. This has always been a big thing buried in Zhu Junfan's heart, able to feed and warm the people of Daming is what he wanted all his life. If corn cultivation spreads in the north, the people will be able to fill their bellies and live their lives, which is directly related to the stability of the Da Ming dynasty.

On the basis of Zhu Junfan's decision to continue to expand maize cultivation in Beijing next year, he began experimenting with the cultivation of maize and potatoes in the bitter northeastern and northwestern regions. It then gradually spreads towards four circles, centred around the capital, the northeast and the northwest. It is believed that in less than a few years, maize and potato cultivation will soon spread.

With this in mind, His Majesty's Dragon Yan was delighted and bestowed a great deal of honor on the King of Dojo and Yangxian County. Not only did Zhu Junyang receive a great deal of gifts, but the Emperor also gave him the entire Tang Gu as a cover. Of course, the proceeds from the construction of the new port are directly attributable to the treasury!

“Your Majesty, do you not suffer from unequal speech? Did you miss out on some successful people?” The King of Yangxian is in the Chapel, reminding the Emperor once again.

Zhu Junfan looked at his little cousin with a smile. Isn't this little cousin a little too sweet for the rest of the girls? Little cousin, for so many famous Jianzhi shows in Jingzhong, is not false, but takes good care of the little girl with the surname Yu. Must be catty!

“I know what you're talking about, isn't that what the rest of the family do for corn planting? I am wondering if we should seal them up and make them better serve the court!” Zhu Junfan has determined that the successful cultivation of maize and potatoes is inseparable from his small crossing through the countryside.
