The Cannon Fodder of Fast Time Travel, She Chooses To Farm

  Chapter 73 As a fine female matchmaker chooses to farm (22)

   "Ho!"

   It turns automatically, round after round, tirelessly, without manpower!

  The ditch dug in advance quickly accumulated water, and the water flowed into the ditch and circled the field.

   "When the paddy field needs to release water, open a gap in the ditch, and then water can be released into the field." Xu Yin said to Uncle Wang.

  Uncle Wang, like everyone else, hasn’t come back to his senses yet, staring straight at the waterwheel working.

  Xu Yin laughed dumbfounded.

   Turning around and looking at the empty rice fields after the harvest, the water release frees manpower, and the next season of rice can try rice flower fish and rice flower crab.

  She had previously asked Yan Kejin about some prohibitions on the fief, except that the fief owner was not allowed to interfere in government affairs, but she did not say that she could not buy land to build a Zhuangzi.

  She planned to buy all the unowned wasteland and develop it according to local conditions.

  If it can be cultivated into good fields, rice and wheat can be grown, and the rice fields can also raise fish and crabs.

  One day, Nanman will also become a land of fish and rice that everyone yearns for.

   Don’t panic if you can’t develop a good field, because there are high-yield grains such as sweet potatoes and potatoes.

   Shatian and other inferior lands grow watermelons.

  If you can’t even grow these, just keep building workshops and factories.

  When the number of residents in Nanman increases, houses will definitely be built, and when cement production increases, high-rise buildings will be built.

  The blueprint is beautiful, but it still needs work.

  Currently, only Wangfu Zhuangzi has a waterwheel, and it will take time to promote it.

  But high-yield seeds can be distributed first.

   "Uncle Wang, the yield of Bigen rice is too low, you can take some back to taste it, and you don't need to keep the rice seeds."

   With such a low output, there is no need to promote it in the era of insufficient food.

  Take it back and give it to the prince to taste. If he likes it, he can plant an acre or two every season and keep it for himself.

  For the other five kinds of rice, she asked for fifty catties each, and asked Uncle Wang to put the rest away.

"These three kinds of high-yield pearl rice, rouge rice, and Panjin rice, you, Uncle Wang, keep them as rice seeds for the next season. If you can't grow them all in Zhuangzi, you can also exchange them with surrounding villages. More and more people Planting these high-yielding rice, we Nanman people will have enough to eat sooner or later, right?"

   "Princess Wang is absolutely right!" Uncle Wang was so excited that he burst into tears.

  Unexpectedly, in my lifetime, I still hope to see a day when every family is full.

  Xu Yin saw that he was going to kneel and kowtow with a group of tenant farmers, so she quickly supported him.

"You don't have to. I just bought these high-yielding seeds by chance. By the way, Uncle Wang, the yield of Changlixiang and glutinous rice is still not high enough, so there is no need to work hard to promote it for the time being. Let us grow it ourselves if we want.”

  But she believes that there will still be many people willing to plant.

   Especially glutinous rice, many snacks including zongzi, need glutinous rice to make.

  I don’t have to worry about other rice varieties. As long as I publicize the yield per mu of this batch of rice varieties, it will definitely be a looting treatment.

  When the nearby villages are planted with high-yielding seeds, Xu Yin will organize people to buy them. The purchase price is higher than the market price, and there must be many people willing to sell.

  The harvested rice seeds are then exchanged with other counties and counties... This cycle goes on and on until all the Nanman territory is replanted with high-yield seeds.

   Doing this seems to lose a lot of money, but from another perspective, when the common people are full, they will come to work in the workshop with energy. Only when the workshop is full of people can she make more money.

  Thinking about it this way, the little money lost is nothing.

  …

   This trip, the melons and fruits are basically ripe.

Xu Yin personally went to the field to pick out two baskets, one basket was taken back to the palace to eat by herself, and the other basket was taken to the mine by the guards, to warm King Jinnan who was sitting in the mine in the heat of summer, and if he couldn't finish eating, he could distribute it to the mine workers as high temperature benefits.

"My lord, my concubine sent someone to send me a basket of melons and fruits, which they said were picked in the village. Let you pick a few good ones first, and the rest are said to be benefits for your subordinates and absenteeism. Look..." Yan Qi Come in and report back.

  When he saw the basket of melons and fruits, his saliva was flooded.

  It has long been heard that the princess is good at growing melons and fruits. Last time, she brazenly snatched a small piece of watermelon from the prince. It was so delicious that he wanted to cry up to the sky.

  The watermelon at that time was said to be undercooked. How delicious will the watermelon be when it is heated?

  Yan Kejin glanced at him: "Are you hungry in the house?"

   "This subordinate violated the rules!" Yan Qi knelt on one knee to accept the punishment.

  Yan Kejin waved his hand: "Do as the princess wants, and cut a watermelon for the king."

   "Yes!" Yan Qiyi heard that not only was he not punished, but he also had watermelon to eat, and happily took his orders and left.

  I can’t help admiring the princess in my heart like a river—even the prince obeys the princess so much, the princess is amazing!

  The melons and fruits sent to Yan Kejin are naturally the best and the best.

  But Yan Qiyi's subordinates were not badly assigned, at most they were smaller in size, and they ate quite satisfactorily.

   "This melon tastes better than the ones I ate in Beijing!"

   "It's hot, eating a melon is nothing more comfortable!"

   "It's great to have a princess! If the prince has something good to eat, we can follow suit."

   "This leak is not easy to pick up. The lord let us divide it because of the wangfei's order. If the wangfei didn't mention it, you can see if our brothers can eat or not."

   "In the future, let's show our faces in front of the princess more, especially you, the seventh, be diligent when you return home, and run errands for the princess when you have the opportunity."

   "You still need to say!"

  In addition to the guards, the exiles working in the mine were also given a piece of melon. Some are watermelons, some are melons.

   It was Shanwa Niang who divided the melons for them, and she never forgot to promote the goodness of Jinnan Palace: "Don't patronize food, work hard when you are full! The Palace treats us so well, don't be a person who eats inside and out!"

   These are prisoners exiled to Baigui County. Previously, the Sheriff of Baigui County had arranged to log on the outskirts of the miasma-filled strange mountain. That was a job that the locals would rather be poor than do.

   Not long ago, King Jinnan asked to mine. In exchange, he exempted Baigui County from taxes for the next three years. This is equivalent to exempting half of the taxes for the people of Baigui County.

   Although the governor of Baigui County didn't know what King Jinnan wanted these exiles to do, but he thought he could cut the tax by half, even if he was pulled by King Jinnan to train private soldiers, he chose to turn a blind eye.

  The exiles, at first, thought that the prince was going to torture them, and they were all terrified.

  When I got to the ground, I saw that it was mining. I was a little tired. It was not much easier than logging, but at least I didn’t have to worry about miasma poisoning my body.

   After working for a while, they gradually got used to it.

   I didn't expect to get a piece of watermelon today.

   It is said that it was planted by the palace master's mother.

   "Grandpa, this melon is so sweet! It's even sweeter than the ones I ate at home when I was young!"

   "Father, try it, it's really sweet! Back in Beijing, watermelons were sold at sky-high prices."

"Okay, okay! My lord is very kind, he treats us prisoners equally, except that we work hard, but we eat more and sleep softer than before. Today, we are lucky enough to taste the honeydew melon that the nobles in Beijing can taste. Our hard days Make it to the end!"
