Take Taobao to ancient times

The next day, many people with hoes came to Lujia Village, and they attracted everyone's attention as soon as they entered the village.

"What's the matter? Why are there so many people here suddenly?"

"Isn't there going to be a fight?"

"Where is this going?"

"Which one is causing trouble? Should we help?"

Chattering voices sounded from many places in the village, and everyone was asking what happened.

"Why do you help? These people are all going to the Xiucai family's land." The insider said, the reason why the scholar's family is called Xiucai's family is because the Xiucai family is unique. If you talk about surnames, almost the whole village has the same surname. On the contrary, I can't tell the difference.

"The field of the scholar's house is that large piece of land that I don't know what to plant?"

"Otherwise, where else would it be? It is said that those things have been sold, and they will be promoted throughout the country. The output will be high."

"There is such a good thing, then let's join in the fun."

"Go and see."

"Look and see."

There are fifteen acres of land in total, and almost all the sweet potatoes are together. After the group arrived, they really went straight to the large sweet potato field.

Lu Siyu and his uncle and the second uncle's family knew that someone would come today, so they were not too surprised. They just directed those people to dig.

After a while, the surrounding area was full of villagers.

Those people have great strength, and they can dig out a large piece with one hoe, and they don't clean up, just dig out a large piece, and then continue to dig the next piece.

Not long after, the green sweet potato vines were covered, exposing the large sweet potatoes that were originally buried in the ground.

At a glance, it is a large piece of food.

"So much?"

"Why didn't I notice it before, this weight is not light."

"I thought there were only a few like peanuts, it's too much."

It was the first time for the villagers to see the situation under the sweet potato field, and they were stunned when they saw the picture. Just looking at the huge sweet potatoes, you don't need to weigh them to know that the yield of that mu of land is definitely not low.

In the past, the villagers planted rice, peanuts, soybeans, etc., and the yield was at most three to four hundred catties per mu, because the fruit bearing capacity of these plants was very small, and according to past experience, as long as they saw the big sweet potatoes, they would immediately eat them. You can roughly estimate the yield of an acre of land.

"There are so many, one mu of land must be at least a few thousand catties?"

"That is, if we all grow this thing, we won't have to worry about life."

"This thing looks like it can fill your stomach."

The villagers chatted quickly. Although the batch of sweet potatoes in front of them has been ordered, they know the situation of the cultivation of this batch of sweet potatoes. The important thing is that they are very clear that this large piece of land is not a good paddy field.

"Xiao Yu, do you think we can grow these things?" Someone pointed their ideas at Lu Siyu.

Lu Siyu concealed the fact that Zhuang Jinhan would vigorously promote it. After all, this matter is not known to him now, so he nodded directly: "Of course, although this batch of sweet potatoes has been sold, I will still keep some. I will give it to everyone later. Save some for seeds."

"That's a good relationship, as expected of a child of a scholar's family, but smarter than ordinary people."

In the past, the three companies did business in partnership. Except for the charcoal business at the beginning, most of the business they did later was their own business, and the villagers did not make a profit. At that time, the villagers were somewhat jealous, but they were not good at other people's business. meddle.

But this time the sweet potatoes are different. If they are planted well, for ordinary farmers, they will be able to rely on them for survival, and they will have to put on a face.

Because these people were just digging and didn't clean up, so after a day, all the sweet potatoes in the fifteen acres of land were dug out, but those people also squeezed their arms one by one, and waved their hoes all day. I don't have any consciousness anymore.

But for the sake of so many sweet potatoes, they still feel very happy.

Another day later, horse-drawn carriages came, loaded the sweet potatoes into carts, and transported them all away.

The only ones left in Lujia Village were cut in half, but the weight was estimated to be about a thousand catties.

Lu Siyu directly parted all the sweet potatoes, and told the villagers about the knowledge of raising sweet potato seedlings. Although they were all knowledge points in the books, he believed that the villagers were more professional than himself. Good seedling.

Tens of thousands of catties of sweet potatoes was a lot of work for Zhuang Jinhan, so he didn't go to Lujiacun for the next few days. When he finally had time to go to Lujiacun, he found that many places in Lujiacun had been turned over.

"Brother Zhuang, long time no see."

"Long time no see. On the way I came here, I saw a lot of fields turned over. Does this mean that seedlings have started?" Zhuang Jinhan looked at a lot of fields along the way, and he was very sure that those fields belonged to other villagers.

"It's because the villagers are too active," Lu Siyu smiled. "They not only dealt with their own land, but also helped us. The temperature is just right now."

The sweet potatoes I provided to the villagers were all free of charge. In order to repay, the villagers also volunteered to help them cultivate the land, so the speed of Lu Siyu's three families was much faster than usual.

In fact, it stands to reason that no matter what crop it is, it is better to do it in rotation. The villagers said that this is the first time they have planted it, but the fields of Lu Siyu's family have already planted one crop, and they should change crops this season. After the batch of sweet potatoes can continue to make money, this batch of sweet potatoes will naturally continue to be planted.

However, Lu Siyu also thought that when the sweet potatoes are harvested this season, all [-] mu of land can be planted with rapeseed, and when the production of sweet potatoes increases next year, [-] mu of land will be planted with different crops to ensure the quality of the land.

"With you here, I don't have to worry about Lujiacun, there is still a lot of expenses left." Zhuang Jinhan joked.

Lu Siyu smiled slightly: "Brother Zhuang is free to come here today, is it because everything has been dealt with?"

"Well, it's almost done. The county has a lot of sweet potatoes, so almost every village can get some. No matter how much they plant, it will be a good income when they return to harvest, especially for those who are relatively poor. Even if you don’t sell it, if you just use it to eat yourself, you will be able to tide over the difficulties.” Zhuang Jinhan is the magistrate of the county, so he will definitely consider the situation of the entire county.

"That's good. This year is the first time to plant sweet potatoes, so the output will not be too large. In one or two years at most, the national sweet potato production will increase. It will be a great thing for the whole country by then." Lu Siyu said with a smile .

It is said that the reason why the population began to increase from a certain dynasty in the previous life was because of the appearance of sweet potatoes, food was sufficient, and children were naturally born more and more.

"No matter how much production there is in other places, I'm afraid it's not as much as in Lujiacun." Zhuang Jinhan smiled, because he knew from the beginning that Lu Siyu would take care of Lujiacun, so he didn't do anything unnecessary. There are probably only as many sweet potatoes as there are for one of the families here.

"Of course, I'm from Lu's Village," Lu Siyu said with a smile, "Brother Zhuang is resting today, why don't you come to my house for dinner."

"That's what I mean. I miss Brother Yu's craftsmanship a lot these days." Zhuang Jinhan laughed loudly. From the first time he came to Beijing to the distribution of sweet potatoes, he hardly took a break during this period, so he was really a little tired .

"What's delicious here, but I have dried some sweet potatoes recently, maybe you will be more interested." Lu Siyu said with a smile, he is the only one who can dry sweet potatoes now, and other people's homes are definitely not as generous as him, so It's kind of a rarity.

"I want to eat dried sweet potatoes, you take this too." Zhuang Jinhan handed the package to Lu Siyu.

Lu Siyu took the package and moved his footsteps. He didn't know what was inside, but it was a bit heavy.

Zhuang Jinhan saw Lu Siyu's doubts: "Here are 1000 taels of silver, 900 taels of silver bills, and 100 taels of silver, of which 900 taels are for buying those sweet potatoes, and the remaining 100 taels are for your booklet."

"So much?" Lu Siyu was a little surprised. Buying sweet potatoes cost 900 taels, which is equivalent to calculating the yield of [-] catties per mu. He didn't calculate the yield when digging sweet potatoes before, but he estimated that the yield this time should not be so much. After all, in ancient times There is no such good greenhouse technology as modern ones, plus it is the first planting experience and lack of experience. Calculated at [-] catties per mu, the buyer will definitely lose money.

"Just take it as a thank you for planting such a good thing," Zhuang Jinhan said with a smile, "Your uncle and uncle's family should be waiting impatiently, you can share it first, and I'll try the taste of dried sweet potatoes."

With that said, Zhuang Jinhan walked away.

Lu Siyu stood at the same place, watching his leaving back, holding a big bag of silver helplessly in his hand, lowered his head to open it, and sure enough, he saw the bank notes and silver inside.

Although it was only 100 taels of silver, it still weighed several catties. He was really glad that Zhuang Jinhan only took 100 taels of silver, otherwise he really couldn't hold it.

He took out a 100 taels and put it in his arms, and Lu Siyu went to his uncle's house with a big bag of silver.

"Uncle, uncle mother."

"Hey, Xiaoyu, why are you here? Come in and sit down." The auntie stood at the door and greeted Lu Siyu as soon as she saw her.

"Auntie, I have something to tell you. It's best if the second uncle and the second aunt are here." Lu Siyu said, he hoped that the three families would be there when the money was distributed, so he only took out the 100 taels in the booklet, and the rest The 900 taels are still in his arms.

"Okay, Liangzi, go and call your second uncle and aunt, let them come over." The aunt greeted the younger son who was squatting aside.

Lu Youdi and Lu Youliang are the two sons of the uncle's mother, and they contain the simplest wish of the couple as children.

"Oh, I'll go right away." Lu Youliang immediately got up and rushed out with a swish.

"This child is not young anymore, and he is still so busy, Xiaoyu, come in quickly, the weather is starting to get hot, so you can't get tanned." The auntie urged.

Lu Siyu couldn't laugh or cry, there are no rural people who are afraid of getting tanned.

"Then I'll go in first, and we'll have a good chat when the second uncle and the second aunt come over." Lu Siyu didn't refute, nodded to the aunt and went into the room.

The uncle was sitting in the house, with a smile on his dark face due to long-term labor: "How is your family doing recently?"

"Very good," Lu Siyu nodded, "My brothers and sisters are much better than before."

"Fortunately, the third son gave birth to a son like you, and he can support a whole family by himself. If he had land and food, he would definitely not be able to support it." The uncle praised Lu Siyu while belittling his son.

"Isn't that because of uncle's presence?" Lu Siyu said with a smile, "That's why you can live a good life with brother Di and food."

"Isn't it because of me, this big family." The uncle boasted without hesitation.

Lu Siyu still laughed, and there was no other meaning in what he said, just chatting about idle things.

After the two chatted for a while, the second uncle and the second aunt came over.

The room was still the one where the five people did business and shared money, but this time the business was not small.
