Mind Reading: Koi Cub brings script to save the whole family
Chapter 242 Promoting New Crops
When the Sun clan members heard the news, they also gathered 500 kilograms of potatoes, 300 kilograms of sweet potatoes, and 200 kilograms of corn.
The third branch of the Yu family has not farmed since Yu Liang and his wife went out to do business. Only the old man takes care of the few vegetable plots in the backyard.
The eldest branch of the Yu family took 500 kilograms of potatoes, 300 kilograms of sweet potatoes, and 100 kilograms of corn.
The third wife stopped planting land at the end of last year, and then rented it to the first wife, so now the first wife has the second largest arable land in Yujia Village.
The first one is naturally the second branch of the Yu family.
Not counting the fields previously owned by the second branch of the Yu family, the area reclaimed from wasteland alone is already quite a lot, over a hundred acres.
The second house is not short of money either. Under Youyou's leadership, they value food more than money.
After all, Yu Lin and Zhang had heard from Youyou's heart that Yu Liang's family died at the hands of mobs during the famine years.
Once you encounter such an unfavorable year, the most important thing is to have food in hand.
Therefore, the second branch of the Yu family was the one that contributed the most seeds in this cooperation with the government.
Five thousand kilograms of potatoes, five thousand kilograms of sweet potatoes, and three thousand kilograms of corn.
The whole village contributed a total of 6,500 kilograms of potatoes, 5,900 kilograms of sweet potatoes, and 3,500 kilograms of corn.
According to the planting method of Yujia Village, excluding necessary losses, 6,500 kilograms of potatoes can be used to plant 32 acres of land.
Five thousand nine hundred kilograms of sweet potatoes can be used to grow 27 acres of land.
Three thousand five hundred kilograms of corn can be used to grow crops on two hundred and thirty acres of land.
The ones in Yujia Village are quite special. There is a large formation underground that was improved by Youyou, so the output and quality are naturally impeccable.
Once out of the territory of Yujia Village, the yield and quality will definitely decline, but it is still much higher than the locally grown grains.
Based on 70% of Yujia Village's harvest, the potato yield per mu is 2,800 kilograms, and 32 mu of land can yield 89,600 kilograms.
The sweet potato yield per mu is 3,500 kilograms, and 27 mu of land can yield 94,500 kilograms.
The corn yield per mu is 700 kilograms, and 230 mu of land can yield 161,000 kilograms.
Songyang County is not large in area, with a registered population of only about 12,000. Excluding the gentry, businessmen in the city, and people who do not live in Songyang County, the number of ordinary people with arable land is calculated as 10,000, and the per capita arable area is about 0.3 acres.
According to this calculation, the potatoes on the 0.3mm plot of land weigh 120 kilograms. If we assume that there are five people in a family, we can harvest at least 600 kilograms of potatoes.
The sweet potatoes from the 0.3-point plot of land are 150 kilograms, and a family of five can harvest 750 kilograms.
The yield of corn in the 0.3-point field is 30 kilograms, and a family of five can harvest 150 kilograms.
As for the issue of recycling and selling, once Songyang County starts to produce potatoes and other crops in large quantities, the price will inevitably drop.
The previous price of two cents per pound needs to be revised.
Yu Lin sent a letter to Yu Liang, and they finally agreed to distinguish the high quality of Yujia Village from the ordinary products of others.
The price of potatoes and sweet potatoes in Yujia Village is still two cents per catty, and the price of corn is 0.8 cents per catty.
The potatoes and sweet potatoes produced by other farmers in Songyang County were 1.5 cents per pound, and corn was 0.5 cents per pound.
Based on the average harvest of a family of five, 600 kilograms of potatoes can be sold for 900 wen, 750 kilograms of sweet potatoes can be sold for 1,125 wen, and the lowest amount of corn, 150 kilograms, can be sold for 75 wen.
By this calculation, a family of five can earn two taels and one cent a year.
For an ordinary farmer's family, this is enough for a whole year's consumption, and there is even some left over.
Moreover, the total area of this land is less than one acre. For the villagers who work all year round, it is as easy as drinking water.
Most people will plant at least one acre, as the profit from one acre is more substantial, not to mention those with larger areas.
Not every household in Yujia Village will plant the potato, sweet potato, and corn seeds provided by Yujia Village, so those who want to plant will earn more.
Moreover, this year only Yujia Village provided the seeds, and the seeds are relatively few. If they keep the seeds for themselves and plant again next year, the area will only be larger and the harvest will be greater.
This is a gradual process.
When the villagers of Yujia Village delivered the seeds to the county government, it was three days after the notice was issued.
Xu Shaobo gave the people three days to choose whether to plant or not.
However, the situation was not as good as expected.
"There are a total of 34 villages in Songyang County. Excluding Yujia Village, there are 33 villages left. Only 15 of them have villagers who are willing to join the movement, but not all villagers have signed up. In the end, only 15 villages and 120 households were counted."
"But fortunately, Yujia Village did not provide much seeds. Even if they were distributed equally, each household could get about two mu of seeds."
Yu Lin quickly calculated in his mind, but before he could figure it out.
Youyou at the side spoke first: "Master Xu, grain seeds are limited, so we need to distribute them to these 120 households first, and we need to distribute them evenly."
"Corn seeds are the most abundant. My family gives 10 kilograms to make up 240 kilograms for a family with two mu of land. We give another kilogram of sweet potatoes to a family with half a mu of land. Potatoes and sweet potatoes make up 60 kilograms for a family with half a mu of land."
"This is a fair distribution, but it will definitely not satisfy the people. What we want is for everyone to see the benefits of the new crops, so there are some things that need to be explained later, and Lord Xu will have to step forward."
Xu Shaobo secretly wiped his sweat. On the one hand, he was shocked by the child's mental arithmetic ability, and on the other hand, he was also shocked that she could quickly deal with the inconsiderate things.
What made him even more cautious was that ever since the father and daughter came to his house to tell him about this matter a few days ago, Yuwei had come to deliver the message.
This also indirectly proves the extraordinary nature of Yujia Village, or rather the extraordinary nature of this little girl.
After going to Yujia Village, he also inquired about her situation from many sources.
I don’t know whether he was just trying to find out or someone sent the news to him on purpose.
Anyway, he knew that these things were all brought back at the request of the little girl.
In the past, the Yu family was not good-looking and was just an ordinary farmer lost in the world.
But now things are different. It is said that the Yu family not only grows these crops in the village, but also has family members doing business in the provincial capital, and has close relations with the Qian family.
He even heard An Sheng mention the riots and epidemics of that year, and that it was the prince and Prince Lu who suppressed the riots.
But it was the child of the Yu family who solved the epidemic. It is said that the child was only eight years old at the time, and he was the apprentice of the second master of the Qian family, a disciple who was taught directly by the family.
I rarely see him at Jishidiang in Songyang County now, and I don’t know where he has gone.
This series of true and false news directly shocked Xu Shaobo.
This person is not an ordinary farmer at all. I'm afraid he has some difficult identity to reveal.
Now Xu Shaobo is living under someone else's roof and working for Prince Jing. To put it bluntly, he has to listen to this little girl in Songyang County.
At this moment, he even felt that he, the county magistrate, was here to cover for her.
But Xu Shaobo was happy with it. As long as he could get away from that home, he had nothing to fear!
