Fields of Gold

Chapter 500 Breeding Bases

In fact, Zhu Junyang's Zhuangzi, although not recorded in the name of Xiaograss, is now similar to hers. Back of the mountain sold to her at a low price, the land in the estate was arranged by her, and the people in the estate were at her disposal. The stewards of the estate, like the people below, have secretly respected and obeyed her as a mother. Of course, it has a lot to do with her personal abilities and personality charm.

Despite the large number of flowers in the back mountains, the supply and demand remained low, and the grass openly bought various flowers and petals from various places and even developed into Gangnam. Zhu Junyang specifically added a boat to the fleet to purchase flowers for the remaining weeds.

They agreed to plant thousands of hectares of good fields on the estate, vegetables and melon fruit in the winter, all flowers in the spring. Plus hundreds of acres of slopes on the back of the mountain, that's barely enough, right? If not enough, Zhu Junyang is thinking about buying several nearby villages at a high price...

Yu Xiaograss has been busy with the beauty salon all spring. Of course, she hasn't forgotten her duties, and the royal family's affairs are balanced. In the spring, after the shed was dismantled, early spring vegetables were planted.

Although vegetable farmers on the outskirts of Beijing have also grown vegetables in the spring, it is no better than not knowing. The Imperial Estate does not know if it is contaminated with royal dragon, and the vegetables produced look much better than ordinary vegetable farmers.

Therefore, the vegetable shops under Zhu Junyang's name can sell more expensive vegetables than ordinary vegetable farmers. Even so, the mouth-watering officials, the aristocrats and the wealthy merchants, Jia Jia, were competing to buy vegetables in fruit shops.

Normal people in Beijing cannot afford to pay several times more for the same vegetables. Therefore, the vegetables of the vegetable farmers in the suburbs of Beijing still have a market. The vegetables from the Imperial Estate slowly became “noble vegetables” dedicated to the upper echelons of society. Not much of a struggle with the people.

Gradually, the weather warmed up. People changed their clothes and put on light summer clothes. Thousands of acres of winter wheat in the Imperial Estate, the ears are full and big, like carpets laid in bricks. The old tenant with experience on the estate guarded the golden wheat fields, and the wrinkles in the corners of his eyes were deeper with laughter.

Growing crops for most of my life, I have never seen such a large, so full of wheat ears, this year is definitely a huge harvest, their tenants have a better life! Although the wheat in the estate belongs to the royal family, the tenants' income is tied to the harvest in the fields. The tenants' income will be converted into other food or silver money, depending on the amount produced.

Before the arrival of Yu girls, the tenants of the Imperial Estate were enviable. The Emperor was merciful to the people and naturally did not harsh the tenants of the Imperial Estate. Last autumn, under the leadership of Yu Girl, maize production was reinvented, earnings per household more than doubled in previous years. This spring, looking at the wheat momentum this winter will never be worse than last autumn. In other words, one year's income is better than the two or even three years of previous years!

Thus, during the harvest of winter wheat, tenants are very energetic, men, women and children in line, cut, tied, picked… Even children carry small baskets behind them to pick up wheat ears. These tenants are experienced old farmers, knowing that the dealer received them in the warehouse before counting them as their own. This winter wheat looks so good, they can't afford to make mistakes during harvest!

When thousands of acres of winter wheat were cut and dried into the warehouse, the tenant farmers who were busy grabbing them day and night were relieved. Manager Wang and Liu Shangshu of the household department, with some agricultural officials of the household, can't wait to start calculating the yield of winter wheat.

Liu Sangshu trembled with excitement, 700 kg!! The average mu production actually reached 700 kg, a step higher than Tang Gu's production last year. In an age when the average mu production was only two or three hundred kilos, the production of 700 kilos was an unimaginable myth!!

When the yield statistics were well presented to the Emperor's case, Tang Gu's Mu production was also counted, not much different from that of the Imperial Estate. However, during the harvest last year, some very large wheat ears were picked and planted on several acres. Winter wheat on that plot is a third bigger than normal wheat ears, producing 900 kg of miracles!

Above the chapel, the Emperor held a full and huge wheat ear and excitedly said to Wen Wu Baiguan: “See, this is the wheat ear that produces 900 kg of mu. If you use it as a seed, the yield will never be poor! Imagine, if all the wheat in the north had reached such yields, would we still have hungry people? Are there any more people who don't eat their bellies? Is there anyone else who can't survive? Why are the people of Da Ming anxious to live in joy? Why are the rivers and mountains of Da Ming unstable? The Lord of Jin 'an County is indeed my Nengshen. Now, love lords, do you still think that my sealing a little girl as an official is a disturbance to the plan? Ladies and gentlemen, do you still think it's Chicken Chestnut that a woman is an official? ”

The silence above the chapel, when the ministers who strongly opposed Yu Xiaoxue as the official, lowered their heads and felt their faces smacked! The Emperor has always been a man of wisdom. He was also opposed by half the dynasty. It is hard to arbitrarily promote small farmers from farming families, so as not to bury a farming genius!!

Since the emperor's arrival, the palace has followed the previous dynasty in order to save money on the treasury. Some remote palaces have been abandoned and cannot be repaired with silver. In order not to hurt the people's wealth, even the triennial election show was cancelled. The Queen's Palace did not have more than ten hosts! Your Majesty and Queen's thousand and autumn life can all be simple, not more than a thousand taels of silver, it is better than the birthday of a luxury merchant.

The royal economy is naturally due to the lack of wealth. For nearly a decade now, the emperor has loved his people with diligence, encouraged reclamation, valued farming and reduced taxes, giving people suffering from the scourge of war a chance to breathe. Even so, people in many places are still not full. Ultimately, food production is too low! At the end of the year, after paying the lease, the rest can only force the belly of the fruit. If there is a natural or man-made disaster, there is no food left to starve.

If the acreage is tripled or even quadrupled, even tenants who lease their fields will not be able to eat the rest after paying the rent. Isn't that what the rulers are after? Hundreds of officials in the Chapel, the Wu Dynasty, the Wenzhen Dynasty, can truly be an Anhui, but it is precisely a little girl that no one has ever been able to read!!

Now, the ministers are disgusted! With her extraordinary abilities, Lord Xiaoyu won the approval of Wenwu Baiguan and gradually became known to the people!

High-producing wheat seeds, first set aside for royal farming next year, are sold to poor people in the north at the price of common grain varieties. In order to prevent monopolization by certain landowners, the court sent Minister Chinchilla to preside over the sale of grain varieties everywhere.

The estates of the Royal Estate and the Tang Guyu family, the fields can add up to no more than 4,000 mu, and the mu production averages no more than 700, but no more than 3 million kilograms of seed. A single acre of land, based on 15 kilograms of sowing, can only supply more than 200,000 acres of land. For 600 million acres of arable land in the Da Ming Dynasty, it is not enough, far from enough!!

The Emperor asked the secret guard to quietly count the villages in the suburbs of Beijing and surrounding states and counties, belonging to officials and wealthy traders. The cultivated land actually exceeds 100,000 acres. If these villages are all raised together, then next year the good seeds can supply more than 9 million acres of land!! This brings us one step closer to spreading the cultivation of high-yielding food in the North!

The Emperor asked the Chief Superintendent of Su Lan to assemble these men and announce the expropriation of their land by the court. Of course, they are not used for nothing. The grain varieties are distributed to the court, and the harvested grain can only be sold to the court, which buys it uniformly at a price of ten pounds.

The price of wheat on the market is as high as five cents. The owners of these estates are profitable. What else do you disagree with? The court signed a ten-year agreement with the owner of Zhuangzi. What was planted in the decade, how, and what the court said. At the time of the harvest, the court would send a commissioner to make a unified takeover.

Due to the variety of crops, there is winter wheat, and there is spring sowing, which is quite messy. So, the time to sign off on harvesting the season from the fall, starting with the winter wheat planting.

After the winter wheat harvest, corn and potatoes were planted on top of each other in the royal estate and Tangu estates. These crops are more experimental where the climate is harsh in the north-east and north-west and the land is marginal. Many villages on the outskirts of Beijing came to Beijing last year to rob corn seeds and go back. In the spring, there was a rush to sow them. Feedback was received that the corn was growing well and that the specific yield would not be known until autumn.

The two villages have already had experience planting maize, Yu Xiaograss just before cultivation, sneak around the water well at the bottom of the estate, raise the already faded concentration of spiritual energy in it, and pretend to walk a few laps on the field with your hands behind your back. Mission accomplished!

At this time, the peaches and plums of the mountain behind the Zhuang Zi began to mature. Due to the rush of fruit tree seedlings, peach varieties varied. Several strands of peach branches were bridged from Dongshan Village, resulting in large and sweet peaches. Others are sweet crisp and delicious large white peaches, red and juicy blood peaches, and crisp and sweet yellow peaches. Whatever the variety, the peaches are big and big, and the branches are bent.

Once the peaches have matured, they are shipped to King Yangshen's boutique fruit and vegetable store and sold in a gift box at a great price. Fortunately, people who can afford to buy vegetable fruits in boutique fruit stores are not bad owners. Peaches in Queensland, of any kind, have a bigger head than the fists of adult men, let alone a taste.
