Chapter 162 Quyuanli
……
The planting method is very simple.
Rare is the idea of planting.
One field can be used for two purposes, both of which produce high-yield crops, whether it is the men digging the holes, the women throwing peanuts, or the old people and children covering the soil.
They are all confused.
There were also heavy seeds in their hands, and almost everyone secretly ate one.
When the peanuts enter your mouth, there is a slight crisp sound of "crunch, crunch", and the rich aroma of oil fills your entire mouth.
It was a taste they had never tasted before, but everyone knew that it was really good food that could fill their stomachs.
I heard that peanuts can be used to extract oil and use it in cooking.
It can be eaten raw. When it is ripe, you can dig it out of the ground, peel off the shell and eat it.
……
This……
What should I do?
Or ask the old county magistrate to give the county lady an umbrella for the people?
They had no intention of keeping the county lady, they just wanted to thank her for everything she had done for Yuncheng.
……
Outside Yuncheng, at the foot of Dayu Mountain.
Looking up, you can see a waterwheel slowly turning not far away.
Censor Li and Minister Lin were honored to participate in the entertainment program of planting peanuts in the fields themselves.
The two men changed out of their scholarly long gowns and put on neat shorts, tied their trouser legs tightly, and wore conical hats. They came to the fields belonging to Wangque Tower with their respective servants who were dressed in the same manner.
The fields of Wangque Tower were originally owned by the county governor, and some more were purchased later when the county governor's office was sorting out the land.
Others have restrictions when buying land, but Wangquelou does not. You can buy as much as you want.
Li Jiaojiao likes mountains, so she simply bought Dayu Mountain and the land at the foot of the mountain.
Some people who originally had land in that area, when they knew that the county lord wanted the land there, they readily gave it up and moved to other places.
Li Jiaojiao was also in the field at this time, but she did not take any action.
She has already paid a lot and can’t work anymore!
Following her were a group of officials of all ranks from Yuncheng. Except for the county governor of Yuncheng who needed to be appointed from above, the officials below had already been appointed and were very united.
The old county magistrate Yun Yingjie was holding a small notebook and taking notes seriously.
Although it has been recorded once in the experimental field of the county magistrate's office, it would be more rigorous to check it again.
Every word the county lady says may bring about earth-shaking changes to Yuncheng.
“When planting peanuts in sweet potato fields, it is necessary to consider the growth habits and soil conditions of both.
You don't have to choose the variety of peanuts yourself, just make sure to save the seeds I give you.
The same goes for sweet potato varieties.
In the future, don’t mix other varieties randomly when you see them on the market, as this will affect the yield of the two crops.
Remember that what suits you is the best. If you want to change varieties in the future, you must understand the habits of the crops and don't plant everything together.
Remember not to bite off more than you can chew, and the same applies to the peanuts this time. I have instructed them not to plant them too densely, and to plant them strictly according to the prescribed distance. The excess seedlings and weeds must also be removed in time afterwards. "
"Hey, hey, we've taken note of what the county lady said." Everyone nodded and waved, asking the people they were following to pass down the orders, and a new round of errand runners immediately surrounded them.
I will never miss a word from the county lord!
“No matter what you plant in the future, remember to plow the land deeply, water the land in advance, and keep the soil loose and thick so that the crops have suitable growth space.
Just like a child needs to be in the mother's womb when it is conceived, the mother's nutrition affects the child's health. Grain seeds also need a suitable growing environment."
This... Everyone lowered their heads and dared not say a word.
Lu Liang: ...Jiaojiao really dares to say anything.
Li Yushi and Lin Shangshu came over and said: ...The twitching on his old face is about to become muscle memory...
Hey……
"Oh! Forget it. I'll get you a curved plow later. It will be more convenient to do deep plowing."
Li Jiaojiao sighed. She remembered that when she was reading agricultural books, the "curved plow", one of the great inventions of agricultural tools, was a milestone in farming.
"County Lady, what is a curved plow?" Minister Lin smelled a different scent and instantly squeezed to the innermost part of the crowd.
"Oh, something that can save manpower and animal power and facilitate deep plowing of the fields. I'll have to trouble Minister Lin to make it later." Li Jiaojiao gave a brief summary.
"No trouble, no trouble! Not at all!" Minister Lin rubbed his hands and smiled flatteringly, "Do you have the blueprint?"
"I'll draw it for you when I get home."
Li Jiaojiao squatted down and put her small hand straight into the hole she dug in the ground. "Look at this hole. It's a bit deep. It will take some effort to get the peanuts out later."
She grabbed a handful of soil from the side and sprinkled it in. "This depth is about right. Mr. Yun, come and take a look. Ask someone to check the status of everyone's digging."
Yun Yingjie hurriedly measured the depth and recorded it in the book. See, he didn’t record it last time.
“Dashan, come and take a look, then take people to check the depth of the pit.”
"Yes."
Another group of people dispersed, and another wave surrounded them.
Later, Li Jiaojiao explained in turn the top dressing, weeding, insect control, the characteristics of peanut and sweet potato maturity, the precautions to take during harvest, and the preservation methods.
He had a quick meal in the fields and was busy until sunset before returning to the city.
……
That night, all the guests in the inns of all sizes in Yuncheng received a midnight snack presented by the County Magistrate's Office - roasted pigeon.
A small flag was stuck on the pigeon. "The seeds of Daqing will sooner or later be in the hands of every Daqing citizen. Protecting Yuncheng means protecting the future of Daqing, and protecting yourself and your family!"
……
Censor Li looked at the small note in his hand and pondered silently.
Could the things he was worried about be made public in this way?
What other method is there than letting the people of Daqing know how important it is to protect food? !
The old man laughed, his whole body trembling, tears and snot flying...
Minister Lin rubbed his wrist and looked at Censor Li with a ghostly look. He suspected that Old Li wanted to be lazy.
The girl said that the handwriting she sent out was ugly and had no deterrent effect, so she entrusted them to write the words. They had to write after farming for a whole day!
For the sake of the curved plow, let it go and not bother with the little girl.
……
In the Daqing imperial court, on the throne room.
A wooden box with the distinctive mark of the Eagle Guard was presented to the emperor.
When the wooden box was opened, there was a dry roasted pigeon with a small flag on it.
Emperor Qing, who read memorials every day, could tell at a glance that this was the handwriting of Censor Li.
It seems that the situation in Yuncheng is really as reported below.
Even Old Man Li was drafted into the army. There were not many civil and military officials in the court who could do what Old Man Li did.
Emperor Qing sat high up in the room, looking up and taking in the expressions of his ministers below.
"My dear ministers, what suggestions do you have for the position of Yuncheng County Magistrate?" He closed the box himself, but left the small flag aside.
Yuncheng was a hot potato before, but now it is a piece of fat meat.
I guess everyone wants to assign his own people to the position of county magistrate.
