Fleeing the wasteland and farming: don't panic, the family's metaphysics boss

Chapter 117
Not far from the big bend of the bazaar, there is a gathering place of pharmacies, four streets criss-cross, more than 30 pharmacies are located here, the largest one, He Shande, even occupies half of the street.

Zhuifeng wandered around the drugstore for a whole day, and felt that it was the same, so he went to Zhengtian Debao's house in Pingpo Village with Qingyu, but when he arrived, he was told that he was busy with farm work in the field, so the two chased him to the field again. .

Tian Debao was harvesting turnips with his son, when he saw Zhuifeng, he greeted him symbolically, and went about his own work, showing no intention of answering him.

Chasing the wind was not annoyed, let Qingyu sit and play on the ridge of the field, and then went to the field by himself.

Seeing him approaching, Tian Debao reminded, "Boss Zhu, be careful not to step on my turnips. These things are precious now."

Zhufeng didn't care about his pickiness at all, "Hey, I watched."

Coming to Tian Debao, Zhufeng put down the basket, and took out a crude medicine from it, "This is bergamot yam, the growth cycle is three months, and it can be sown with zero seeds in April, and it can be planted in the field.

For the bergamot yam field, it is advisable to choose sunny, flat, dry, low water level plots, where no yam has been planted for more than three years, and the soil should be sandy or sandy loam.

This crude drug is sold for 50 copper coins per plant, and 100 plants can be planted in one mu of land, which costs 60 taels; it can be harvested twice a year, which costs [-] taels. After deducting the cost, it can make a net profit of at least [-] taels;

For a family of five, if you work hard, you can plant ten acres of land, a total of 600 taels a year.I give them two out of ten, and they get 120 taels a year.It is equal to their income for more than ten or twenty years. "

Tian Debao put down the hoe, with surprise and disbelief written all over his face, "How can this thing be sold so expensive?"

Zhufeng smiled, and took out another crude medicine from the basket,
"This is Cangzhu, which can be planted on slopes, mountains, and wasteland. It is drought-resistant and avoids water. Ten catties of seeds can be planted in one mu, and the yield of crude medicine can reach nine to ten stones per mu. The dry medicine can be harvested from four to five stones; the dry medicine can be harvested per catty. If you sell ten copper coins, you can get forty to fifty taels per mu."

Now not only Tian Debao, but even the surrounding farmers surrounded him when they heard this.

Zhufeng took out a few medicinal plants from the back basket, and introduced them one by one, how to plant them, when to plant them, how to care for them, how to fertilize them, and how to repel insects.

In the end, someone couldn't help asking: "Can you really charge so much in a year? Will anyone buy it?"

Zhufeng smiled, "Nowadays, there are many disputes among the princes, and every three days, there is a small fight, and there is a big fight every five days. Why worry that the medicinal materials cannot be sold, and the supply is more than enough."

"Two out of ten really? It's not a bluff, is it?"

Chasing the wind said again: "Written evidence is evidence, so there is nothing to be afraid of."

The farmers talked a lot, such a thing was unheard of, not to mention earning a hundred taels a year, even if it was ten taels, they would have to kowtow, a hundred taels, they didn't even dare to think about it.

Tian Debao looked serious, "Growing medicinal materials, is it really worth the money?"

"At least it's much better than guarding this dry crop." Chasing the Wind affirmed.

Tian Debao pondered for a while, and then said: "By the boss, I am a farmer. Maybe my vision is a little short-sighted, but now hearing what you said, I seem to be looking forward to it.

However, it is an innovation and there is no precedent. Don't plant it but no one buys it, that's all, this is something for later.

You want to gather those sharecroppers, okay, I can call someone for you, how about tomorrow?It will be in my yard tomorrow at a quarter of noon. I will call everyone to you. What you say then is up to you. "

Zhufeng cupped his hands, "At that time, I would like to ask Li Zhengneng to help say a few good words. Planting medicinal materials is not only for myself, but also for those tenant farmers who are suffering."

Hearing this, Tian Debao's expression softened a lot, he hummed, and resumed his farm work.

After Zhufeng and Qingyu had left, the surrounding farmers gathered around Tian Debao and chatted.

"Is there really such a good thing? One hundred taels a year, I dare not even dream about it."

"If I could earn so much a year, why would I farm the land? I would have gone to the city to buy a house and enjoy it."

"I haven't heard of anyone growing medicinal herbs near here. There are quite a few herb farmers in the mountains. Is this really feasible?"

Tian Debao supported the handle of the hoe with both hands, and kicked the thin and small turnip at his feet, "I don't know if it will succeed, but it is clear that the boss is determined."

"This makes me want to plant. Who rented out his family's land?" Someone asked curiously.

Everyone looked at Tian Debao again, Tian Debao thought for a while, "If you are free tomorrow, why don't you all come and listen, I think this boss is not bad, listening is better than knowing nothing. "

Everyone nodded, and went back to the field while discussing.

The next day, before noon, Tian Debao called thirteen tenant farmers to his home. Those who were free in the village also called over. In the end, more than 50 people sat in the yard.The courtyard, which was originally fairly spacious, was crowded for a while, and it was impossible to get out of it.

All the people who came here at this time had heard about the planting of medicinal materials, and the neighbors were talking about it, and there was a lot of noise in the yard. Tian Debao yelled several times before suppressing all the voices, and then said:

"You may have heard about this kind of medicinal material. Let me remind you, don't be fascinated by the so-called annual income of one hundred taels. You have to put this aside in order to see more problems."

Everyone nodded, one hundred taels a year, it sounds like a fantasy, how can you believe it, so they discussed the problem with each other, so that when the wind and the rain arrived, they almost thought they had gone to the wrong door.

He strenuously walked from the crowd to the front of the main room, and Zhufeng greeted Tian Debao first, and then saw that Old Liu was also there. After the two met each other, Tian Debao invited Zhufeng and Qingyu to sit down.

"I've already told everyone about the general situation. Originally there were only a dozen or so tenants, but other people in the village heard about it and wanted to come over to hear about it. Do you mind, boss?"

Zhufeng smiled, "It's okay."

Tian Debao said again: "Well, the boss can tell everyone about your ideas and plans. Although they are tenant farmers, if they are missing from the field, the land will be useless."

"Understood." Zhufeng got up and looked at everyone in the yard seriously, "Everyone, this year's drought has caused a lot of crops to die in the field, and the harvest is even more uncertain.

But we want to find life in a desperate situation, and now you have the land on hand, I plan to use it to grow medicinal materials."

"But the land is still growing crops, what should I do?" Someone rushed to ask.

"Hoe up all of them. In addition, the land must be re-triggered more than three times." Zhuifeng said.

Hoe them all off? !The crowd immediately exploded, and some people yelled loudly in dissatisfaction, "How can you just hoe the things that go down like this, how can you calculate the loss?"

"I think that this small loss is nothing to worry about from the perspective of the greater good." Zhu Feng looked at the crowd with an unquestionable tone,

"Or, do you want to continue to live the life of paying [-]% of the rent? With this year's situation, you may not even be able to pay the rent."
