Chapter 297 Rapeseed Oil, Wheat Harvest
Yu Chenglin was so frightened that he didn't know how to answer.

The emperor himself explained: "Sandy soil, as expected, you need to find suitable soil to grow things. In the future, sandy soil will also become a treasure land."

"No, how did she know that sandy soil can grow these precious things?" The emperor began to question again.

Then he explained himself: "Try, she likes to try, record, reflect, and try again if she makes a mistake."

Zhongshuling handed in all the planting notes.The emperor knew that last year's watermelon harvest was not good, and the grapes have also spent a lot of effort in recent years.

Yu Chenglin shrunk into a quail, letting the emperor overthrow himself there, his mood bouncing back and forth between worrying, relaxing, worrying again, and relaxing again.

Watermelons and grapes continued to sell well in the capital, and books on planting also sold well.Those watermelon sellers tacitly chose the affluent counties in the east, and left the business in the capital to the Xiangjun Mansion.Being closer has the advantage of being closer, the transportation cost is low, and the money is quick.

The children looked at the gold and copper plates sent by the Feng family, and sighed in unison: "As expected of the capital!" There are so many rich people, and they are really willing to buy them. The more expensive they are, the more they want to buy them.

Chen Fan picked a batch of grapes and took the children to make wine.

Changping Township has entered the busy farming season, and every household has begun to harvest rapeseed and step on rapeseed.

Zhang Ci looked at the harvested rapeseed and smiled: "Sure enough, the yield is high and the quality is good, so you can tell whether the oil rate is high or not."

Chen Ya smiled and said, "That's the seed selected by one grain and oil store after another."

Zhang Ci thought about many reasons for not using new breeds, but in the end he couldn’t resist the temptation of improved breeds, and accepted Chen Fan’s brainwashing: “God bless you, why can you only use it once or twice? Just use it every time, every year. The use is to make people believe that Changping Township is blessed by God and blessed by the emperor, and the weather is good every year, and the output is high every year."

The drama of the two is also very good, and many people are sent to various stores to pick seeds.I paid double the price, put the rapeseed in a bowl and turned it around to pick out the big grains on it and the good ones.Picking bowl by bowl, picking out the amount of one mu for each family in Changping Township.

Then, the Xiangjun Mansion distributed the seeds to each family for free, and agreed to hand over double the number of seeds after harvesting.

The ones that go on are naturally modern fine varieties.

The common people looked at the more than 300 catties of large and plump rapeseed, and grinned so much that their mouths reached their ears.

They couldn't wait to flock to the oil mill.Some sold some rapeseed, and some paid the processing fee, waiting to turn the rapeseed into oil and take it home.

The Liu family, the Song family, and the Luo family all opened oil workshops in Changping Township, where they were busy harvesting rapeseed and pressing oil.

Chen Fan and Zhang Ci are both in Liu's oil workshop, they want to check the oil yield and quality of the oil.

The oil mill exudes a strong fragrance, and the villagers keep sniffing.

"It's so fragrant. I've never smelled such fragrant rapeseed oil."

The first batch of oil came out, and [-] catties of rapeseed yielded [-] catties of oil.

Zhang Ci was stunned and couldn't believe his ears.Grandpa Liu told him excitedly: "It's thirty catties, thirty catties! An unprecedented oil yield."

"Look at this oil again, how bright it is." Master Liu was so excited that his hands were shaking.

Zhang Ci smiled like a child: "That's great, that's great."

The people were even more excited, jumping and shouting there.

The thirty catties of oil belonged to ten households, and the guys divided the oil into ten jars, and they held it in their hands like treasures.

When the wheat is ripe, everyone starts to harvest it.The weather is awesome, the sun shines every day.

The villagers looked at the mountains of wheat in front of them and were stunned.

They had never seen so much wheat.

"How many catties per mu?"

"More than 800 catties."

"How many catties per mu?"

"More than 800 catties."

Some people laughed and cried. In the past, three acres of land might not be able to harvest more than 800 catties of wheat, and they had to pay heavy taxes.Now more than 800 catties are collected for one mu of land, and only two buckets of tax are paid.Those who help the township government to cultivate the land can also receive [-]% of the wheat.

The wheat in Yema Mountain has also achieved a high yield, and the villagers who have been farming have harvested more than 300 catties of wheat per mu.In three years, the four surrounding villages have become wealthy villages, where they can have enough food and sell grain for money.

If there is any regret, it is that there is no Changping Township, otherwise they can share sugar and salt, and can go to school for free.

The yield of wheat per mu on saline-alkali land was higher than last year, reaching 90 jin.Each family in Wangjiadun planted a portion of the field with high-yielding wheat seeds, and received more than [-] to [-] catties of wheat.

Everyone is very grateful, and every family wants to take a basket of eggs and send them to Xiangjun's mansion.

Wang Lizheng stopped them: "It's not too late to thank the Lord when the Xiangjun comes back."

The emperor received a report: Changping Township had a bumper harvest of wheat and was willing to donate 300 million catties of wheat.It means to send ships and troops quickly.

Rapeseed and rapeseed oil were also sent to the capital.

The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were silent.

Why is the Changping Township always able to grow such high-yield grain?Not only her family, but the entire Changping Township are productive.

Shang Shuling set her up: "The prestige of Changping Township Lord is very high. The people will plant whatever she says to plant. Every household is very obedient, and they are willing to use their land to grow rapeseed and cotton."

The Taifu retorted: "The Lord of Changping Township is dedicated to growing food for the people, and the people are naturally willing to obey. If the food can produce high yields, the land can of course grow other crops. Planting rapeseed can extract oil, and planting cotton can protect against cold. These are closely related to their lives, what would they not want?"

Shang Shuling was dissatisfied: "Where is she dedicated to serving the people? Planting watermelons and selling them at an astonishingly high price of [-] guan in the capital, chasing huge profits, is simply a profiteering act."

"Hasn't it happened that a potted flower has a thousand calibers? Hasn't it ever happened that a piece of jade has [-] calibers? Rare things are the most precious. She can grow watermelons that ripen in early summer. It is her ability to grow watermelons that are ripe in early summer. Only by selling more expensive watermelons can they show the preciousness of watermelons." .”

The Minister of the Ministry of War got impatient: "Arguing about a Changping Township again, how many times have we been arguing?"

Zhong Shuling glanced at him: "Why don't you find another place to argue? 300 million catties of high-yielding wheat seeds can increase the yield of 15 mu of land."

The Minister of War was silent.

The crown prince took the initiative to invite Ying: "Father, my son is willing to go to Changping Township to escort grain seeds to Beijing."

All the ministers were a little surprised, to send food to alarm the prince?Soon they figured it out, for 300 million catties, it really needs a higher level.

The emperor agreed: "The crown prince and the hussar general led 3000 troops to go together."

Zhongshu Ling followed up: "After the wheat harvest, the sweet potato vines can be cut. I hope that sweet potatoes will be popularized in the north this year."

The emperor glanced at the Minister of the Household Department: "The Ministry of Households arranges, whether it is the government of the prefecture and the county to come forward, or let the merchants go, you can decide."

The efficiency of the imperial court was very high, and a large-scale fleet set off for Changping Township in mighty fashion.

People in Changping Township are still busy: busy planting sweet potato vines; turning over rapeseed and wheat fields for transplanting; workshops and construction sites are working.

A few days later, the fleet arrived at Qijia Ferry.
