The sixth uncle appeared beside him for some unknown reason, also looking forward to it.

"This year, there are still two glass greenhouses in each family to grow vegetables, and the remaining glass greenhouses seem to be used by the king to grow the gods brought back from overseas!"

"America?"

On the side, several farmers also came over with expressions of interest.

"The housekeeper only said it was overseas, but didn't say where it was, so don't guess!"

Seeing this, Uncle Six hastily explained with a solemn expression on his face.

"Yes, yes, that is overseas!"

Hearing this, several farmers on the side also responded repeatedly.

They didn't dare to quarrel with the villager of Lijiazhuang. If they lost the quarrel, it would be fine. If they won, the housekeeper would definitely make trouble for them if they made the old man angry.

"Humph!"

Sixth Uncle glared arrogantly at the kids around him, and prepared to go to the other courtyard.

This year's glass greenhouse was built so early, shouldn't we start planting some fruits and vegetables in it earlier?

There are also sweet potatoes and potatoes that the king wants to plant, and how to plant them, the sixth uncle is very concerned.

"The glass greenhouses in charge of each family will be planted and managed by each family. As for the remaining glass greenhouses, those boys who went to sea with the king will be responsible for planting and managing them.

But for every greenhouse, a farmer needs to learn how to plant and manage those fetishes with those cubs! "

Li Chang said.

"Those bastards are in charge of planting? Those bastards have rough hands and feet, and the crops are so delicate. Wouldn't it be a waste of the king's important business to let them toss and break?"

Hearing this, Uncle Six couldn't help feeling a little worried.

At this time, Li Xuan walked out with Li Chenglu, followed by Li Baoding and Wang Xuance.

He said with a chuckle: "Don't worry, Sixth Uncle, those guards have already planted two crops at sea. They may not be as familiar with the vegetables as you old farmers, but they are the most familiar with the sweet potatoes and potatoes.

However, they all planted it once, after teaching the farmers how to plant it.

From next year, it will be all planted by you! "

"I see!"

The sixth uncle nodded slowly, and then said to Li Xuan: "Your Majesty, please rest assured, those bastards in the Zhuangzi will definitely study hard!"

"With Uncle Six here, I can't be more relieved!"

Li Xuan chuckled again.

"Sixth Uncle, please call those farmers and start planting potatoes in a while!"

"Planting potatoes?"

The sixth uncle was taken aback, then went out without asking any further questions.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, those bastards in the Zhuangzi have been waiting in the Zhuangzi!"

After going out, the sixth uncle greeted a group of little bastards in the village, and started calling people from door to door.

Soon, the square was filled with dark crowds.

And the guards who followed Li Xuan out to sea, carried the two hundred catties of potatoes that Li Xuan brought back, and walked towards the glass shed.

The potatoes that Li Xuan brought back to Lijiazhuang were about 240 catties.

They ate more than ten catties.

Now, there are 230 catties left.

According to the estimates of Li Xuan and others, one hundred catties of potatoes can be planted on one mu of land.

So, just bring two hundred catties, and you can plant two acres of land.

The remaining [-] catties should be preserved first, in case something happens to the [-] catties of potatoes and they are not planted.

Can be planted a second time.

……

Chapter 627 Xue Family Village!

Growing potatoes is easy, too.

Put the potatoes in the sun first to encourage them to germinate.

Then, cut the potatoes into pieces with a knife, leaving one or two small sprouts on each piece.

Then, use a steel shovel to loosen the soil, dig out a shovel-deep hole, and throw the potato pieces with small sprouts into it, preferably with the small sprouts facing upwards.

In this way, a piece of potato can be buried one foot apart.

Then, pour some water uniformly to keep the soil moist, and that's it!

The whole process is very simple, after watching it once, those dealers have already learned it.

It's just that what makes them a little bit novel is that it's the first time they've seen crops grown in this way!

The next day, Li Xuan took the farmers again and started planting corn.

This time, Li Xuan brought back a lot of corn seeds, and directly planted [-] acres, that is, [-] glass greenhouses.

Next, there are pumpkins. There are not many pumpkin seeds, and only two glass greenhouses can be planted.

There are not many seeds for peppers, and Li Xuan planted five glass greenhouses for the grown pepper seedlings.

There are not so many seeds for tomatoes, and the tomato seedlings cultivated are enough to plant a five-acre glass greenhouse!

Every planting will be followed by a little water.

It was already ten days after all these were planted.

And by this time, the sweet potato seedlings cultivated by Li Xuan had grown to a height of half a foot, reaching the glass on the pond.

So, I started planting sweet potatoes again.

First, the soil ridges are flattened in the glass greenhouse, and then the sweet potato seedlings are dug out from the pond. The bottom of each sweet potato seedling is wrapped with a ball of mud, and then dug into the soil ridges.

Every one foot, you can plant a sweet potato seedling.

After planting, someone needs to pour half a bowl of water on it.

So, another three days.

Li Xuan spent more than 300 catties of sweet potatoes, and cultivated sweet potato seedlings, which actually planted ten glass greenhouses!

"These are just like grown vegetables. You only need to spend a few days, pour some water, pull out the weeds, and prevent wild animals from coming in to eat the seedlings!"

Looking at the results of the past half month, Li Xuan said to the farmers in front of him.

As for the guards who were originally appointed by Li Xuan to be in charge of these glass sheds, they had already been squeezed out of the crowd by those farmers.

"Don't worry, my lord, we are the most experienced in taking care of these glass greenhouses!"

"Exactly, the king handed over these glass greenhouses to me, so don't worry!"

Hearing this, Li Xuan could only nod slowly.

"So I'm going to trouble you all!"

Seeing this, all the farmers were all smiling.

Next, it was time for a group of farmers to start planting vegetables for their respective glass greenhouses.

Li Xuan doesn't need to worry about these at all.

And after such a long time, a long row of cement bungalows were built on Xue Rengui's village next door, so that the veterans who came over could live.

Although each house is not big, those veterans are all satisfied.

These strong houses, which are comparable to city walls, no longer have to worry about being collapsed in heavy rain, being washed away by floods, or being crushed in heavy snow!

Moreover, what they are most looking forward to is that their proprietor also told them that this kind of sturdy house is their temporary residence, and the construction sites on the side are to build more beautiful and spacious houses for them .

What surprised them next was that their proprietor borrowed a group of old farmers from the Jinwang Mansion next door, as well as those incomparably precious glass sold outside, and built glass houses in the fields?

"Proprietor, can a house built with this precious glass really allow the fields to grow vegetables in winter?"

Standing inside, looking at this beautiful glass house, the veterans were very distressed.

"If these glasses are sold in the city, how much can they be sold for?"

"So, you have to take care of these glass sheds in the future, and they can't be broken or stolen by those thieves!"

Xue Rengui chuckled, and said slowly, "This kind of glass greenhouse, the vegetables grown in winter can be sold for hundreds of dollars in one winter!"

"Hundreds of strings?"

Hearing this, all the soldiers couldn't help staring at the boss with disbelief on their faces.

These people, a big family, have worked hard all year, farming, hunting and fishing, weaving, raising some chickens and ducks, or sewing some utensils for some nobles, or planting some vegetables, Flowers, melons and fruits are picked and sold in the market.

But in this way, you can earn more than 20 yuan a year at most.

Even when the times are bad, earning more than a dozen dollars can already allow them to have a good year.

And now, they can sell more than 150 vegetables a month just by growing vegetables in such a glass greenhouse?

Wouldn't it be possible to earn more than 50 guan?

As for making more money, these soldiers can't believe it!

"Exactly!"

Xue Rengui nodded slowly, and under the expectant eyes of all the soldiers, he continued: "In the Lijiazhuang next door, some farmers have planted well, and they can sell two hundred guan in a month!

However, there are now more people planting glass greenhouses in winter, and they can sell 150 per month, which is already the highest.

As for you, if you just started planting this kind of glass greenhouse, you can sell more than 100 pieces a month! "

"More than 100 sticks?"

Hearing this, all the veterans nodded subconsciously and promised solemnly.

"Proprietor, don't say more than 100 pennies, as long as we can sell for seventy or eighty pennies, even if we risk our lives, we must stay in the shed every day and take good care of this glass house!!"

"There's no need for that!"

Xue Rengui chuckled and said, "In Chang'an City, no one dares to offend me like this."

"It's just that, according to the rules set by the master, you can only share [-]% of the money sold for each glass greenhouse, and you can only earn a dozen or so this winter!"

As he said that, Xue Rengui showed a hint of embarrassment, "Although the money is less than those farmers in Master Village, you can pick twenty catties of vegetables from the glass greenhouse every month for food.

In addition, if you want to eat meat, you can also buy it from Lijiazhuang next door, at least [-]% to [-]% cheaper than those shops in the city! "

"The proprietor is merciful!"

Hearing this, all the veterans knelt down towards Xue Rengui with gratitude on their faces.

"I swear, I will never betray my master in this life, if I break this oath, I will be struck by lightning!"

You know, these farmers, when winter comes, there is nothing to do, that is, no money to make.Who would have thought that planting vegetables here in one winter can produce more than ten dollars?

This kind of good thing is something they didn't even dare to think about before!

"Everyone, don't do this!"

Xue Rengui's face became anxious, and he quickly helped the veterans in the leadership up.

"I have been waiting to go to sea together for a year and a half. Xue Li knows who you are! From now on, this place will be Xue's Village, and the prosperity of this village depends on everyone's joint efforts!"

"Don't worry, the proprietor, we will definitely do our best!"

After Xue Rengui's stimulation, all the veterans were immediately full of motivation.

When sleeping at night.

Some farmers remembered what the proprietor said during the day, and they couldn't fall asleep after tossing and turning.
