The Reborn Lady is Farming

  Because the demand for the seeds of the No. 1 dry rice this year has directly increased by five times compared with last year, Mu Yangling went to Zhuangzili to inspect the performance of the seeds.

She had planted the ground before, and the seeds were sown at this time. Even if she had teeth, she was worried about whether the seedlings would survive the next spring cold, so she dug some seeds out to check. Who knew the seeds dug out from a randomly selected field But a lot of dry rice No. 1?

Upland Rice No. 1 is made by Mu Yangling's continuous hybridization of wild rice sent by Qi Haoran and rice that is commonly grown in the north. This is the first generation of hybrid rice. Mu Yangling attaches great importance to it. The rice seed was planted exclusively in the subfield, and Mu Yangling took the bear to cultivate the rice personally, so she was very familiar with this seed, and even if she had teeth, she could see that it was not her seed.

This year is Qi Xiuyuan's first nationwide tax collection since he ascended the throne. Before, he vigorously supported her harvest grain shop, and even demanded that no less than 30% of upland rice should be planted in order to collect more taxes. , to ease the pressure on the treasury.

For more than three years, the treasury has been supported by Fan Zijin's business and borrowing. This is a country, and this will not last long. Fan Zijin also told them that three years is his limit, and the treasury has no income. , I am afraid that the business in his hand will have to be sold to repay the debts of those wealthy businessmen. At that time, the national treasury will be completely depleted, and the country will be in turmoil when people's hearts fluctuate.

   This is a crucial year!

   She absolutely does not allow problems, let alone problems with her!

   The seeds were also checked layer by layer before. I didn't expect that there were still problems. Mu Yangling turned a little bit and said, "I don't know if there is a problem with our Zhuangzi alone, or if there are problems..."

"Don't be afraid," Qi Haoran patted her on the shoulder and said, "And me, I'll go see Liu Qing tomorrow and ask him to take the officials to the ground to check, it's still early, and it's not too bad. In time, it is necessary to turn the ground and replant."

   Mu Yangling was worried, "It's so simple, even if there are excess seeds, there won't be much, if the scope is not wide, it's fine, I'm afraid..."

   Mu Yangling was always a little uneasy in his heart, for fear that this kind of thing would be on a large scale, otherwise who would dare to do this kind of thing to their Rongjun Wangfu alone?

   Mu Yang was restless all night, and the guards who stayed at the farmhouse the next morning brought Zhuangtou and two farmers to ask to see him.

   Qi Haoran and Mu Yangling didn't care about breakfast, they handed over the children to Wang Ma, and hurried to the flower hall to meet them.

   Zhuangtou knelt on the ground tremblingly, with two Zhuang households tied behind him, he fell to the ground, and he was a little terrified when he saw the princes and princesses.

   "My lord, it's clear that these two farmers exchanged the seeds in private when they took the seeds to distribute to the tenants." The guard stepped forward and said.

   Qi Haoran looked at Mu Yangling and motioned her to deal with it. The affairs of the mansion were always left to Mu Yangling, and he would not intervene when it was not necessary.

   Mu Yangling looked at Zhuangtou and asked, "Do you know the two of them?"

   "Recognize, know, Li Er is the younger brother-in-law, and Zou Da is the farmer under Xiao Xiao's hands. They signed the death deed with the palace. They usually do some chores in the village, and they also cultivate the fields."

The farmers are different from the tenants. The tenants are still self-owned to a certain extent. They just rent the fields of the owner. In their spare time, they help the owner to cultivate the fields or do some chores as required. If they meet a bad owner, they will be exploited severely. However, it is very simple to terminate the relationship. As long as the rent is paid in full and no more land is rented, the household registration has always been a good citizen, and the tenant can also have his own private property.

But the farmers are different. Most of the farmers have signed death deeds, most of them are living deeds, but no matter what kind of deeds they are, he is the master's slave, not to mention that life and death are all in the hands of the master, at least the master has control and sells them. Rights, generally speaking, the farmers are much more loyal than the tenants.

   Hearing that it was Zhuang Hu who betrayed the palace, Qi Haoran couldn't help but narrow his eyes and turned into a conspiracy, thinking that they must have been instigated by someone to hide in his Zhuangzi.

But the actual situation is that Li Er and Zou Da had a good wine and gambling, and owed some money abroad. They were forced to use the power of the palace to repay the debt, but Mu Yangling was very strict in governing the family, so he left a message early, Anyone who uses the power of the palace to do bad things outside is guilty of adding three grades, so he has been hesitant to move forward.

   But the casino could not let them owe all the time, so they came to the door and planned to chop off their hands to pay off the debt.

They are slaves themselves, they can't sell them, they can only chop their hands, or someone pays their gambling debts to escape the disaster, but that person's money is not free, he only has one request, he wants the seeds of the No. 1 dry rice , the more the better!

The seeds of Upland No. 1 are not expensive, and you can buy them if you want. However, in order to avoid the monopoly of seeds by gentry and landlords, Harvest Grain Shop requires that the number of seeds purchased by each household shall not exceed the number of seeds required for the fields owned by the household. And each household can only buy enough seeds for 50 acres of sowing seeds. To buy seeds, you must have a household registration certificate. Anyone who finds reselling seeds will be permanently blacklisted by Harvest Grain Shop, within ten years. Not to sell any kind of seed to him and his relatives.

   This method of buying and selling has greatly ensured the cultivation rate of ordinary peasants, and it has also cut off the road of gentry monopoly.

  Although he has offended a large number of people, but behind Mu Yangling stood the Rongjun King and the emperor. This is their own dowry business, and no one can say anything. Who says she is the only one who has this kind of thing?

So that person wanted more upland rice No. 1, it was not feasible from the harvest grain shop, and when the farmers who planted upland rice No. 1 last year bought the seeds, the seeds they bought were not very good, there was no way, when Mu Yangling The seeds are all on credit, and they have signed contracts with farmers. After harvesting, they will use the best rice seeds to repay the credit, and if they want to sell grain, they must choose the harvest grain shop first when the price fluctuation does not exceed 80%.

The purchase price of Fengshou Grain Shop has always been the same as that of other grain shops, which means that the best batch of rice seeds and millets have returned to Fengshou Grain Shop, and all they can buy is the rice left by farmers to eat. , It takes thousands of selections to select plump, large-grained rice seeds.

But we all know that the selection of rice seeds is to select the ears first, not just a single grain, because a rice seed may be very full, but it may appear on the ears with short ears and few grains. The rice seeds are more likely to be such a harvest after planting.

Li Er and Zou Da wept bitterly, "Princess Concubine, he only said that he would not want too much, and the younger ones gave him the seeds of the few fields they were responsible for, and he used another rice seed. Change, but who knew that he would go back and ask for more seeds. Sixty percent of the tenants in Zhuangzi have planted No. 1 upland rice. How dare the younger ones replace them? The rice seeds were replaced, because the rice seeds he brought were also full and large, and there was no difference in roughness, so the younger ones dared to change."
