The cannon fodder of fast wear, she chooses to farm

Chapter 73

"Huh!"

Unexpectedly, it can automatically rotate round after round without any human effort, as if tirelessly!

The ditches dug in advance quickly accumulated water, and the water flowed down the ditches, circling the fields.

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

Uncle Wang, like everyone else, has not recovered yet, and his eyes are fixed on the waterwheel working.

Xu Yin couldn't help laughing.

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

She had asked Yan Kejin about some prohibitions on the fief before, and she didn't say that she couldn't buy land to build a Zhuangzi, except that the landowner was not allowed to interfere in the government.

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 planted, 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 good land, then 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 opening factories.

When the number of residents in Nanman territory 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.

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

However, the high-yielding seeds can be distributed first.

"Uncle Wang, the yield of Bijou 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 an era when there is not enough to eat.

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.

Seeing that he was about to kneel and kowtow with a group of tenant farmers, Xu Yin quickly supported him.

"You don't have to be like this. I just bought these high-yield seeds by chance. By the way, Uncle Wang, the yield of long-grain fragrant 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 who are willing to plant.

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

Other types of rice are even more worry-free, as long as they publicize the yield per mu of this batch of rice types, they will definitely be looted.

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 them.

The harvested rice seeds are then exchanged with other counties... and so on, until all the Nanman territory is replanted with high-yielding seeds.

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

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

……

This trip, the melons and fruits are basically ripe.

Xu Yin personally went to the field to pick two baskets, one basket was brought back to the palace to eat by herself, and the other basket was taken by the guards to the mine to warm King Jinnan who was sitting in the mine in the heat of summer, and if he could not 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 Seven came in to report back.

When he saw the basket of melons and fruits, his mouth watered.

I have long 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 scream to the sky.

At that time, the watermelon 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 mansion?"

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

Yan Kejin waved his hand: "Let's 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 concubine in my heart like a river - even the prince is so obedient to the concubine, the concubine is amazing!

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

But what Yan Qiyi and his subordinates received was not bad, at most they were smaller, and they all ate quite satisfactorily.

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

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

"It's great to have a princess! If the prince has something good to eat, we can also pick up some leaks."

"This leak is not easy to pick up. The lord let us split up 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 did not forget 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 all 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 come 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 that he could reduce the tax by half, even if he was pulled by King Jinnan to train private soldiers, he chose to turn a blind eye.

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

When I got to the field, 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 a child!"

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

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