After marrying a concubine, I have the ability to read minds

Chapter 380
The work of pumping oil was carried out in an orderly manner, and the purchase of piglets and construction of pigs also started.

Seeing the litters of piglets being bought back, the fifth concubine couldn't help but ask Gu Wanning: "Sister and sister, why did you ask me to plant so many peanuts?"

"What my sister-in-law is most curious about is why I asked my sister-in-law to raise pigs and pigs? After all, we are not short of money now. We can earn a lot of money from the income of Jiucui Zhai alone. The grain in the field is enough for the sky." You can earn a few taels of silver from an acre of land, why bother to arrange this piece of land?"

The fifth concubine really didn't want to admit that she was stupid, she even had to ask her siblings about such a trivial matter, but she nodded honestly. If I don't have brains, we should ask people with brains for advice. I think she was regarded by Ye Moying as a fool. Treated like a servant who doesn't want money, I humbled myself into the dirt, and didn't get a good face from him. Later, it was because I listened to my younger siblings that I lived like a human being, especially now, that man is like a cheap man. Turning around her, isn't it all because of the younger siblings?
So, if she doesn't listen to her father, she will listen to her younger siblings, and ask if she doesn't understand, so she shouldn't pretend to be smart in front of her younger siblings!
"It is because we have money that we can do something meaningful."

Fifth Prince Concubine: "Is it meaningful to grow peanuts and raise pigs?"

"Of course! Sister-in-law, think about it. We are royal daughters-in-law. We have money and status. If we do nothing because of this, and have nothing to do but eat well and dress well all day long, will this life be over at a glance?"

The fifth prince and concubine thought about it, isn't that what the younger siblings said?
If the crops in the field hadn't been ripe these days and she came to the village, she would really be like eating and waiting to die.

"So, we have to find something to enrich ourselves, just like growing peanuts. Although peanuts are not a staple food, they are also food. Moreover, the peanuts grown by my sister-in-law have a yield of 650 catties per mu, and the skins are [-] to [-] catties. These But it is edible. If we really want to catch up with the famine, peanuts can also save lives.

Moreover, this year my sister-in-law planted 650 catties of peanuts per mu. Next year, with careful management, she might be able to grow 800 catties. When the peanut oil we made is recognized by everyone, I can bring more people to plant peanuts. At that time, my sister-in-law will be able to Isn't it meaningful to publish a book on how to grow high-yield peanuts? "

The fifth concubine couldn't help but nodded. The younger siblings were right. Although she didn't plant these peanuts herself, they grew from her farm. She must have contributed something, right?
And can a book be published after planting a crop?
But what can she do?
"Sister-in-law, don't worry, you have already planted peanuts for a season this year, and you have some experience. When you plant another year next year, you will carefully record how to choose seeds, how to prepare fertilizers, and how to plant them. With a little polishing, the book can be published.

Also, my master said that the whole body of peanuts is a treasure, the kernels of peanuts can be oiled, the dregs of peanuts can be fed to pigs, and even the skins of peanut seedlings can be fed to pigs. Let's use these to raise some fat and strong pigs. Sister-in-law will publish another book on raising pigs. Later generations will see that the authors of the earliest books on growing crops and breeding are all in the name of sister-in-law. Wouldn’t sister-in-law be famous through the ages? ! "

The Fifth Prince's concubine was almost limped by Gu Wanning's big cake. Is she this kind of place?The planting is obviously eternal and fragrant!

So, for Gu Wanning's words, she just nodded. She never thought about whether it would be a bit inappropriate to have the name of a pig raising princess on her head?
"Raise, let's raise them well. In the past two days, I will arrange for people to find the people who are best at raising chickens and pigs to study together, how to raise these livestock well, and then we will publish a book. I want to last forever and become a legend in the history books. The woman of the name!

It's no longer just Ye Feng's, but - Feng Xinrou! "

After chanting the slogan, the fifth prince and concubine quickly ordered the housekeepers in the village to go to the countryside to collect more pigs, find experienced pig raisers, and supervise the people who built the pigpens. A warm home for the piggies.

Gu Wanning: ... Cough, this blood seems to be a little fierce~
The clerk in the shop came back quickly and sent a letter saying that all the oil was sold out. Not only that, someone even ordered a thousand catties at a price of one hundred yuan per catty. She is even more satisfied. She has lived so long and never thought that one day, farming will give her such a great sense of satisfaction.

She is also a good person, since peanut oil is so well received, she has to send it to the palace to show her filial piety, right?

Of course, the work of delivering things has to be handed over to the Fifth Prince.

Therefore, Ye Mofeng, who didn't like to wander in front of the emperor the most, was driven away and put on the shelves.

The emperor was stunned for a moment when he heard that the fifth child came to give him something, and then asked: "What did he come to give?"

"It is said to be oil squeezed from peanuts. It has been sold for two days, and the people who have used it agree that it is good, so it is sent to you, the emperor."

The emperor asked the fifth son to be invited in.

Ye Mofeng greeted the emperor, "Father, my concubine planted some peanuts on Zhuangzi, and it was a bumper harvest this year. Later, she and her six younger siblings worked on an oil mill. The machine was improved by them. It’s quite high, and the oil tastes good, so she’ll ask Erchen to bring you some to taste, and if you eat well, she’ll take care of your oil in the future.”

There was a smile on the corner of the emperor's mouth, "Peanut harvest? How many catties per mu?"

Ye Mofeng said: "She planted a total of more than 200 mu, and an average of 650 catties of peanuts per mu, and [-] to [-] catties without the skins."

The emperor immediately cheered up when he heard this: "Is the yield of peanuts so large? I remember that the yield of rice is only about [-] catties per mu, right?"

"According to Wang Hao, this kind of peanuts also pay attention to methods, and the two of them have spent a lot of effort to make peanuts so high-yielding.

The emperor was a little excited: "Okay, very good! Even if peanuts are not a staple food, they are still edible, and the production is here. It would be a good thing if peanuts can be grown in large quantities.

If rice and wheat can also have such a large output, the people of our Daxing Dynasty will no longer have to worry about running out of food. "

Ye Mofeng thought about it, and then talked about the interplanting of the six younger brothers and sisters, "After the peanuts in this field came out, the sixth younger siblings taught my princess to interplant wheat, that is, a bunch of wheat and a bunch of vegetables. She said that this crop of green vegetables will be harvested in late October or early November, and it will not affect the growth of wheat. In the next spring, the place where vegetables were originally grown can be planted with other crops. This is two years Three cooked."

The emperor listened more seriously, "In the south, there are already two or three crops a year, but in the north, it is rare for two crops a year, at most three crops every two years, so, you and your princess will take good care of them in the future." Those intercropping grain fields, if the yield of wheat increases this season, I will also give you a credit!"
