Fields of Gold

The army of the court arrived on the second day of the retreat. The leader was Fang Da, who had travelled with the King of Yangxian, and was appointed as General Zhenhai, who led 10,000 elite soldiers and guarded the coast of the Jinwei Province.

Not only that, but also along the coast, a hundred houses are set up every dozen kilometres, hundreds of soldiers are guarded, one observation tower is set up every hundred households, and two people take turns looking at the sea. Near Dongshan Village, such a hundred households were set up, and the observation tower was set on a seaside cliff where they often went to chase the sea.

As the soldiers passed from outside Dongshan Village, the villagers of Dongshan Village only dared to look far away, afraid of causing trouble. The village chief was worried that Hundreds of households were so close to Dongshan Village that they feared that these soldiers would from time to time show up in the village and demand property! If Grass could see through his mind, she would tell him, "Grandpa, you're worried." We have the Yangshen King standing in our village, lend them some more guts, and don't dare pull hair on the tiger's mouth!

Hundreds of households are set on the ruins of the next village, which has been sprayed with plague medicine and lime. Soldiers cleaned up the houses that survived in the village as camps. Every day between the cliffs and the camp, the observation tower is diligently built. The lookout tower not only serves as a lookout, but when something happens on the surface, it lights a flame and sends a message.

When Yu Xiaograss occasionally went diving by the sea, he looked at the cliffs from afar, where the observation towers were progressing rapidly, the same day. Not knowing if it was her illusion, she always felt that there was an eye on the cliff chasing her. Are hundreds of soldiers watching her? After that, Little Grass didn't dare to dive near the cliffs and rush to sea. Afraid of being discovered by soldiers who were staring at the sea at the moment, she would always let the little dolphin drag her into the deep water before revealing herself.

This year, Zhou Jiangong's marine treasure component increased, and the grass had to go down to the sea several times while it was empty. Every time she had a full harvest, she sometimes brought back large lobsters and some deep-sea fish to feed her family.

After staying in Zhao's house, it was closer to the other courtyard. It's more convenient for Zhu Junyang to come and rub his dinner. Every summer, he has a mouthful of good seafood. Like “sea urchin lobster roll," “carbon roasted salmon," “tuna lettuce roll," “fried yellow flower fish," “oyster roast silver cod”... these dishes he had never seen before, he even exclaimed: if he left the little grass girl, what would his future life be like? Therefore, for the sake of his future appetite, Yangxian Wang entangled Yuxiao Grass more tightly.

The houses in Dongshan Village have just laid the foundation, and the winter wheat on the estate is ripe. Yuhai entrusted the task of supervising the construction of the house to the supervision of the third uncle. With his eldest son and youngest daughter, and the team of the Yangxian King, he rushed to the first line of harvest.

Of course, harvesting wheat does not require his own personal action as a host. Zhuangtou stood behind him and reported with joy to Dongjia on the strengths of the wheat seeds. This year, the wheat seeds in the field are particularly good, and the wheat ears are a cup bigger than the next one, not to mention full of grains. Based on his years of experience, wheat production is estimated to exceed 500 kg!

You know, this is not a past life of moving kilograms, wheat production typically ranges from 200 to 300 kilograms. Over 300 kilos is already high yield. Five hundred pounds is a myth like never before! Yu Hai, the owner of this field, expressed his satisfaction and verbally praised Zhuang for the first time.

Before harvesting, Yu Xiao asked the tenants to cut off the long, particularly full ears in the wheat fields and put them together separately. When growing wheat next year, use these as seeds and open up a single plot of land to see if the yield can be more innovative. Five hundred mu production has not reached the goal of the grass heart. If the mu production can reach thousands of kilograms or more as in previous life, then why are the people of Da Ming worried about food?

Zhu Junyang also asked the manager to instruct the foremen to look for wheat ears in his 800 acres of good field beyond the index finger length. The wheat grains are relatively full of ears, all concentrated in small grass. After the granulation, it actually exceeded 100 kg. In this way, fifty or sixty acres can be created as test fields.

Recently, it has been a sunny day. After questioning Little Tianshi, he learned that there was no rain for half a month. Summer harvest began in a fierce way. The tenant farmers on the estate, each with their own responsible fields, put up a special effort.

Over a hundred acres of wheat, the harvesting, granulation and drying steps were completed in less than five days, and the granules were returned to the warehouse. Roughly calculated, the upper good field harvested 600 kg of wheat per acre, and the middle field reached 500 kg, and even the lowest fields produced more than 300 kg of mu. The whole house is boiling!

So, removing the lease given to the Dong family, on average, there's more than 200 kilos of food per acre. Some people have a large labor force, divided into 40 or 50 acres of land. Isn't that close to 10,000 kg of wheat? It's just a season, plus the income from autumn corn... Oh, my God! You can't eat white rice every day!

Of course, these high-yielding wheat must not be eaten. Little grass is ready to be used as next year's seed to see if the refined wheat seeds of spirit stone water will be innovative again next year. As a result, when all the wheat seeds had been degraded, the rest of the family acquired all the wheat seeds in the hands of the tenants at market prices.

The news of Yujiazhuang's wheat production is that he walks in the vicinity. The first person to come into contact with Yuhai was the administrator of Zhou Jia's altar. Zhou family has business dealings with Yu family, it's kind of an old acquaintance. After a brief chill, the manager opened the door and explained his intention: "Master Yu, our old man heard that your wheat seeds are yielding well, would you like to know where your wheat seeds come from? ”

Yuhai just wanted to say that these are ordinary wheat seeds, but her little daughter stopped them. Little Grass smiled and kicked the leather ball onto King Yangshen: “The seeds of wheat on our estate were given to us by King Yangshen. Seeing the seeds is no different from ordinary wheat, I never thought it would be so productive. ”

Yangxian Wang once brought back the seeds of a number of high-yielding crops in the West. Let alone Tang Gu, the people of the entire Da Ming dynasty, few do not know. The housekeeper Zhou was silent for a moment. "Well... I wonder if Master Yu can even some seeds for the Zhou family. The Zhou family is willing to buy heavy gold! ”

Yuhai glanced at her own daughter and nodded at herself. “I don't know how many good species Zhou family needs? ”

The housekeeper made a slight indulgence and said: “Zhou Jia has 500 mu of sacrificial fields, 300 mu of great houses under the name of Liangtian, second room..."

“Manager Liu, our family also planted the first year of harvest, not many seeds in hand, can only give you 500 acres of sacrificial field seeds.” Fifteen to twenty kilograms of seeds are needed for an acre of land, and nearly ten thousand kilograms of seeds are needed for Zhou Jia Guang's sacrificial fields. Yujiazhuangzi harvested a total of 70,000 kilograms of seeds, and let Manager Liu continue, the Guangzhou family will have to divide the good seeds by one third. Yuhai hastily interrupted Zhou Jia's steward's words.

Managing Director Liu, only 500 acres of sacrificial field seeds? He's only halfway through the task the old man gave him? When we have to fight for more seeds, Yuhai bites and only gives 10,000 pounds, the others are free to talk!

Yu Xiaograss smiled and said nothing. If Zhou Jia's house is better for Wednesday, perhaps she will help Zhou Jia to intercede and sell them some more wheat seeds. But Zhou's big house was a strange house, and there were many who bullied Zhou Xiaosan's orphan widow. Master Zhou Jia, from time to time, set out the chart of being a father, trying to grab Zhou Jia's second room. I wish they hadn't harvested their grain particles. Fuck them! As for the fields under the name of Zhou Jia's Tuesday room, can her father give him no face if he talks on Wednesday?

Over there, the price of the good seed has been negotiated. Since the yield of good seeds can double that of ordinary wheat, it has to be at least a few times higher in price. For example, a plain wheat seed is a dozen pounds a acre, and a dozen pounds a acre is two hundred. An acre of good land can harvest 300 kilograms of wheat, and the market price of wheat is one kilogram and five cents, which is one acre of land can harvest 1,500 literature, which is seven or eight times the input.

Her household could produce 600 kg of high-yield wheat seeds, which would certainly be only as high if replaced by good seeds next year. According to 600 kilograms per acre, she earns three taels of silver per acre, so she can't charge 50 cents a kilogram of seed, can she?

President Liu had a dozen crackles in his mind and smiled on his face. “Master Yu, isn't this a bit higher? You see, your family seeds are only twice as good as regular seeds, and the price is five times higher. You're asking too much, aren't you? ”

Yuhai also felt that his daughter's price was higher. He just laughed and didn't answer the question. He looked at his little daughter.

Yu Xiaoxue gave him a “little peace and quiet” look and smiled at Liu Pipeline: “Manager Liu, I'll settle your bill for you. Let's see if this deal is cheap. Ordinary wheat seeds can only produce more than one or two pieces of silver per acre, while our family's good wheat seeds earn three taels of silver per acre. Ordinary wheat, 20 pounds of seeds are needed, and the good seeds in our family only need 15 pounds. In other words, if you invest 750 words, you can exchange three taels of silver for an acre of income, and the net income is 2250 words. Five hundred acres of sacrificial fields means one thousand one hundred and twenty-five taels of income... If you use only ordinary wheat seeds, you can earn at most six hundred taels, which is almost double the amount of silver! ”

Manager Liu took the abacus from the man behind him and slapped it. It turns out, the same fields, the output of silver nearly doubled, this deal is not made by fools!
