The first concubine of farming

Chapter 114
After the Lantern Festival, Bai Yanshi sent brothers Huachen and Huaxi to report to the Intermediate College of Yunhai College, and then went home to prepare for the busy farming.

In addition to Bai Yishi's own fields, Bai Yishi also got [-] mu of land this year.

That was Pu Qiuli's engagement gift to Bai Yishi when she was engaged to Bai Yishi. After Bai Yishi received the five hundred acres of land that Pu Qiuli gave her, this made Bai Yishi so happy It's terrible, knowing that with so much more land, she can grow some new crops.

This piece of land was bought by Pu Qiuli in a small neighboring village not far from Libaijia Village in Baiyun Town. There was a rich landlord in that small neighboring village. This land was originally his land, but for some reason, It was a last resort to sell these high-quality lands.

And the reason for this is that the son of the landlord is fond of gambling. With the connivance of his friends, he went to the casino to gamble, and finally took the family property to the casino without the landlord's knowledge. I lost everything, and I owed a lot of usury from the bank.

Because of his incident, his father, the landlord, was so angry that he was alive. In order to pay off the debt, the landlord's son had no choice but to think that he still had some land in his family, so he took the land deed and planned to sell it in disregard of his mother's objection. Those fields were sold to pay off the debt.

This field is exactly [-] mu, and it is all high-quality land, so when Pu Qiuli was about to give Bai Yishi an engagement gift, he saw the landlord's son selling the land deed, and asked Chen Ming to check it out After finding out the ins and outs of the matter, he asked Chen Ming to buy these fields and gave them to Bai Yishi as one of his betrothed gifts.

On the day of Bai Yanshi's engagement, Pu Qiuli handed over the title deed he had just bought to Bai Yishi in front of everyone in Baijia Village. It can't be hotter anymore, this makes many unmarried women in many families envy Bai Yushi very much.

This year, the things that Bai Yanshi planted in the field of Baijia Village remained the same as last year, and the five hundred acres of land in Xiaolin Village, Bai Yanshi thought about it, and finally felt that it was used to plant her new crops. varieties of crops.

There are five new varieties of crops, namely: ground pineapple, blueberry, cucumber, sugar cane, and papaya.

Because there happened to be [-] mu of land, Bai Yishi decided to plant [-] mu of each of these five new varieties, because it happened that there was no need to divide it.

For Bai Yishi, these five kinds of crops are already a waste of land in her space, but in Ping'an Continent, for these crops, they are all new varieties that have never been seen before.

Therefore, when Bai Yishi took out the seeds of these five crops and planted them, it shocked everyone again.

Those who have cooperated with Bai Yanshi all hope that Bai Yanshi can try to plant successfully, because if this is the case, then they will make a lot of money at that time. After all, they have cooperated with Bai Yanshi so many times. I know how experienced she is in researching new varieties of crops, and she has succeeded in research and trial planting every time.

The crops she successfully planted are sold to them every time, and they are transported to other places for sale, which can make a lot of money every time, so every time when Bai Yushi tries to plant new varieties , Many businessmen came to the door one after another, hoping to grab the opportunity to cooperate with new varieties of crops, even before Bai Yushi's trial planting was successful.

In fact, when Bai Yishi tried to grow these five crops, the happiest person was the oak.

Because although Li Lai is Pu Qiuli's personal bodyguard, he is also an agricultural scholar next to Pu Qiuli.

As the prince, Pu Qiuli is also the owner of the Li Pavilion, so he has his own fiefdom and Zhuangzi, and he is the master, so he doesn't have to take care of these things himself, so, Li Lai It's the person who takes care of these things for him.

Pu Qiuli is a prince and the god of war in the Heian Dynasty, so he has his own soldiers.

Although the Ping'an Dynasty had a good harvest in terms of food, most of their land was barren, and there was too little land suitable for growing rice and wheat. If Pu Qiuli wanted to support these soldiers, he had to have food.

Originally, Pu Qiuli had his own fief, and he could rely on his own fief to collect taxes to support those soldiers, not to mention that he was still in business, and the money he earned was making a lot of money every day, so there was no problem in raising these soldiers.

But Pu Qiuli's fiefdom is Beicheng, where most of the land is barren, and the farmers' crops are just enough for them to eat, so they can't pay any taxes at all, otherwise they will starve to death .

Seeing this, Pu Qiuli didn't want to collect taxes anymore. After all, it was already his fief, and the people there were also his subjects. He didn't want to make his subjects starve to death because of him, so The soldiers raised by Pu Qiuli used and ate most of what they planted themselves and bought with the money Pu Qiuli earned.

Also, the Kanglang Kingdom, which has not been very friendly with the Pingan Dynasty, although they are not richer than the Pingan Dynasty, they are still a little behind them in terms of food. Kang Langguo suddenly came to beat them. It was fine for a short time, but if the fight lasted for a long time, they would suffer a loss sooner or later.

Pu Qiuli had already considered this issue during the past few years of fighting on the border, so he ordered Li Lai, who loves to study crops, to try his best to find ways to increase food production.

Li Lai is actually quite talented in this aspect. During the past few years by Pu Qiuli's side, he also studied the problem of increasing food production. However, before meeting Bai Yanshi, Li Lai still let himself I feel proud, I feel that I am very powerful, and I can research things that increase food production.

However, after knowing Bai Yanshi's poems, he was finally defeated by the new planting method that Bai Yanshi gave Pu Qiuli to increase the rice yield, because Bai Yanshi's method can increase the grain production more than what he researched There are many more ways.

Finally, although Li Lai has never met Bai Yanshi himself, after seeing the new rice planting method of Bai Yanshi, he has completely worshiped Bai Yanshi in his heart, so this time he knows When Pu Qiuli came to Baijia Village to meet Bai Yanshi, he had to grind Pu Qiuli for a long time before he agreed to let Pu Qiuli take him with him. Otherwise, the person who Pu Qiuli decided to take with him was Xingzuo , and Ri Zhao couldn't leave the capital no matter what, because he had to stay in the capital to help Pu Qiuli manage affairs, who told him that he was the military adviser next to Pu Qiuli.

Apart from repaying favors with Pu Qiuli in his life, Li Lai's favorite thing is to study agriculture, and now because of Bai Yanshi, an agricultural expert mistress, he is very happy and has always wanted to be a teacher of Bai Yanshi , I want Bai Yishi to teach him how to study crops.

However, Bai Yushi felt that he was Pu Qiuli's subordinate, so he didn't ask him to worship her as a teacher, but he still taught him a lot of methods for studying crops, which made him very happy. Even more obedient.

Pu Qiuli didn't say anything about Li Lai's approach. He also felt that his Hua'er was really capable, and he could make his people agree that Bai Yanshi was their mistress without his help, so he still Some are happy to see it happen.
