Chapter 442: Sugar Cane Planting Matters
The five men stood up in fear, their dark and thin faces full of joy, "Madam, tell me!"
If there is something for them to do, then they are useful.
Shuiqing didn't say anything directly, but stood up and walked out of the house and said, "Follow me."
The five people followed behind them obediently.
Shui Qing led the people to the outermost warehouse, opened it, pointed at the bundles of bamboo pole-like things inside and told the five people: "You guys take them out, put them on the cart and tie them up."
This is sugar cane. I originally wanted to grow my own sugar this year, but there are so many people in the village that I need to find an excuse. Secondly, there are more than 400 people in the village and everyone has something to do. Even if the sugar cane harvest is bumper in the fall, there will be no guarantee that there will be a harvest. Go to people and squeeze sugar.
Moreover, the most important thing is that every inch of land in Shanshui Village today is useful! The same is true for my own family. Even if part of the land is allocated to grow sugar cane, it will not be able to form a climate and is not cost-effective.
It is better to divide the labor. Shanshui Village will be turned into a medicinal material village, with medicinal materials as the main component and the toothbrush and brush workshop as a supplement;
In the past two years, Zhulin Village has mainly grown potatoes to supply food, but sugarcane must also be planted slowly. When the war is coming to an end or Zhulin Village does not need to supply food, they can immediately switch to growing sugarcane and open a sugar factory.
In this dynasty, salt and sugar were both precious commodities, but salt was returned to the court and was punished by death if touched, but sugar was strongly encouraged. More than 500 acres of land were used to grow grain for a few pennies per pound, and it was profitable even if a person was tired. It doesn't cost much money, but if you make sugar, the income can be doubled, or even dozens of times!
If you earn more from your main business, you don't need to exchange for other things such as raising chickens, rabbits, and pigs, and use it to improve food. Whether it is China or Ming Dynasty, as long as you eat well, you will have hope for life.
The five people didn't even ask a question. They all obeyed and moved the bamboo pole-like things to the cart.
A bundle weighs about fifty or sixty kilograms. Even if I am thin now, I used to be a hard worker. With a full dinner, I can move it alone without lifting.
After two or three moves each, all the inventory in the warehouse was moved.
Going back to Zhulin Village overnight, Shui Qing stood beside the trolley and said cautiously: "Time is tight, let me tell you first. The five of you listen carefully and ask each other when you go back. If you really don't understand, come back and ask again!"
You also know the road, and it is convenient to have a donkey going back and forth. This is related to your future livelihood, so you can't be careless. Do you understand? "
"I know!" Five people replied in unison.
Everyone looked serious.
Not to mention donkeys, we can go back and forth in two or three days just by walking, and bringing dry food is nothing.
The owner's family attaches so much importance to this bamboo pole-like thing, they must take it seriously. Maybe they bought the land because of this thing, but they can't do it well.
Shuiqing’s on-site teaching: “Okay, look at the raised area, which is the size of a bud. This is the bud point. When planting, it should face upward;
The field where they are planted should be ridged, probably from the calf to the knee;
......
You should seize the time to plant them when you get back. These can probably be planted on five or six acres of land and harvested in autumn and winter. There is no rush. I will go over and teach you how to store them and save them all for next year's planting. "
What she selected in the mall was a sugarcane variety with a particularly high yield per mu and suitable for making sugar. It is suitable for growing in the southern climate and can produce tens of thousands of kilograms per mu!
If there are no accidents this year, the five or six acres of land will be harvested to tens of thousands of kilograms. Next year, at least hundreds of acres of land will be planted. Master Zhuangzi has this year's planting experience, and next year's large-scale planting will be even more exciting. rest assured.
If all goes well, the sugar factory in Zhuangzi will be up and running by the end of next year.
"I understand, madam, don't worry!"
"I'll remember it. The five of us will study it carefully when we get back. If we really don't understand, we won't make up our minds easily. We will choose one person to come over and ask for advice."
"You must live up to your trust and make this species good!"
Shui Qing looked at the bright black eyes under the clear moonlight and sighed that Bai Manshan was really foresight. He chose the smart and agile people among more than a hundred people. It was very worry-free to order the sensitive people to do things.
If you meet a teammate who is like a pig, you will really make yourself vomit blood, but you can't teach him!
She continued: "I'm afraid it's too late to build the house you live in now. Let's build a thatched shed first. After the spring plowing, we can build an adobe roof with gray tiles like the people in this village. In the future, we don't need to replace the thatched roof every year, which saves manpower.
As for choosing a location for building a house, Baijiazhuang is ahead of you. Go over and ask Master Zhuangzi to see where you can avoid flooding. I have prepared fifty taels of silver, which is enough for more than ten of you to buy gray tiles.
Build as many houses as possible, and build them as big as possible. It will be comfortable to live in a big house with a big yard. "
The climate here is mostly hot, and big houses are cooler than small ones. The land in the village is not as expensive as in the city, so you can build more and bigger houses.
Moreover, the population is everyone. After settling down, there will be more and more children, and there will be no need to add new ones every year.
Gong Shang only felt that today's surprises came one after another.
In fact, when their family arrived in Zhulin Village, they had already started to pack up their living quarters. They were determined to have enough to eat. They had no money or possessions, and it was spring plowing. They had never thought about building a labor-intensive adobe house, let alone how many years it would take. A house with tiled roof for two silver coins!
I didn't expect that the host family would only spend fifty taels of silver when they made the move. You must know that none of their more than one hundred people had fifty taels, which was more expensive than buying them.
Fifty taels, I can almost buy another 40 to 50 acres of land...
Zhou Youzhou's eyes were warm.
Are you aggrieved by thatched shed? They were originally only qualified to live in thatched huts. Not to mention the servants in the village, many families in their original village also lived in thatched huts.
The master also said that using gray tiles on the roof saves them the manpower to replace the thatch on the roof every year, but no master cares whether the servants are tired from changing the thatch. Isn't this a job that the servants should do? The master is obviously doing it for them For your own sake!
The other three people felt warm in their hearts. The master specifically told the house to be built bigger, saying that living in a big house would be comfortable...
Shui Qing opened the warehouse again and asked five people to move the cloth to the cart and tie it up. The chickens and rabbits were put into bamboo baskets. There was no rush now. The group of them would set out in the middle of the night. They could just load them before departure.
The rice noodles are packed in wooden barrels, with a layer of oil paper placed on top to hold the eggs, which acts as a shock absorber and prevents the eggs from breaking easily.
After telling everyone what should be said, Shui Qing told people to go get some sleep quickly - they would leave for Zhulin Village in the middle of the night, and staying up all night would be harmful to their health.
With everything ready, Shui Qing entered the main house, took out the land deed and the deed of sale given to her by Bai Manshan, put them into the wooden box in the inner room, and then put them in the locker to take with her.
We now have fields, land, and people, and we have two profitable industries, and we will have one more by the end of next year. Now we are in urgent need of cash to buy a shop... People who go to Yuhang don't know how the medicinal materials are sold. ...
