The Rich World: A Farmer’s Daughter

Hearing Jiang Zhennan and the others asking about rice planting, Lin Yuelan frowned slightly, and she asked, "You don't even know how to raise and transplant seedlings, so how did you grow your rice?"

Don't blame Lin Yuelan for not knowing, because she didn't inquire about it, and she didn't ask Xiaolu to inquire about it. She thought that the people here farmed and planted seedlings first.

Now listening to the anxious voices of Jiang Zhennan and Guo Bing, she realized the problem.

When Jiang Zhennan was guarding the frontier, he also cultivated fields like other ordinary soldiers.

He answered very seriously, "We plant seeds, directly use dry seeds to scatter in the fields, and then wait for them to grow and mature. As for your saying that it is effective and boring, we have not listened to what you said about seedlings and transplanting. pass."

Guo Bing listened very carefully and did not interrupt.

Although he didn't know how Lin Yuelan knew about raising seedlings and transplanting rice seedlings, these farming methods had never been heard or tried by them or even the people of the world, but he chose to blindly trust Lin Yuelan.

Believe in Lin Yuelan, this child.

Lin Yuelan pointed out bluntly, "If you scatter the seeds directly in the fields as you said, it will cost the seeds and the yield will be low, right?"

Jiang Zhennan replied honestly, "One mu of land requires at least one to two stones of seeds, but the harvested yield is only three to five stones. This is still based on the high yield of a bumper year. If the fleeting year is unfavorable, Probably only received two or three stones."

That is to say, farmers work hard for a year, and only harvest two to four shi of grain per mu of land. After removing all kinds of miscellaneous taxes, they can leave only about one to two shi of grain.

That is to say, the farmers have worked hard for a year, and in addition to paying taxes, the rest is not enough to feed themselves.

Lin Yuelan said in surprise, "So few?"

One stone here is 106 jin. It takes more than 100 jin per mu to plant, and the harvest is only 300 to 500 to 600 jin per mu. If the seeds are removed, it is 2 to 400 jin.

In modern times, one mu of land can cost at least 1,000 catties, and for example, the output of Yunnan Yuxiang is more than 2,000 catties per mu.

Jiang Zhennan and Guo Bing were surprised when they heard Lin Yuelan say this.

Jiang Zhennan suppressed his impulses and excitement. He asked in a low voice, "What does Miss Yue'er mean, how much yield should one acre be?"

"Seven to eight stones!" Lin Yuelan said loudly and forcefully.

In this ancient times, without the cheating of high-tech chemical fertilizers, it is difficult to achieve a high yield of 1000 kilograms, or 10 stone.

However, seven or eight hundred catties can definitely be planted.

Of course, her family's fields can receive such a high yield.

Because she has spiritual spring water.

Hearing Lin Yuelan's answer, Jiang Zhennan and Guo Bing were shocked.

"so much?!"

Suddenly Jiang Zhennan walked up to Lin Yuelan, lowered his head slightly, stared at Lin Yuelan's small face with a big slap, and said seriously, "Miss Yue'er, the people of the world will ask you!"

What a heavy burden!

She can't afford it.

Lin Yuelan immediately waved her hand and refused, "Hey, this girl can't bear such a burden."

Immediately, she supported her chin with her hand, tilted her head, and said, "However, the ten acres of land in my family will be handed over to you now."

Jiang Zhennan and Guo Bing looked at each other, and immediately said happily, "Okay. We will definitely plant these fields well."

Lin Yuelan said, "That's good. If you don't receive more than seven stones per acre of land, you can pay for it with money in the future."

After Jiang Zhennan and Guo Bing heard it, they were immediately speechless.

According to calculations, they still owe Lin Yuelan 300,000 taels of silver. It is estimated that they will owe more and more.

At present, there are only a few acres of land, and there are so many people in the family. Lin Yuelan has no plans to hire or buy people for the time being.

Lin Yuelan took out the seeds and handed them to Jiang Zhennan and Guo Bing, respectively, and said, "Here are more than 100 catties of seeds, that is, the seeds of five acres of fields. You can soak them separately."

"One hundred catties? Five acres of land?" Jiang Zhennan and Guo Bing were really surprised.

As far as they know, one hundred catties of seeds can only be planted in one mu of land, but now Lin Yuelan plans to plant five mu of land.

Guo Bing said suspiciously, "Miss Lin, is it too little to use five acres of land for one hundred catties of seeds?"

Lin Yuelan replied, "No."

She didn't explain much.

Then, he said to them, "These seeds, you should first foam them with cold water, then pack them in a dewy cloth bag, then water the seeds with warm water, then tie them up and seal them, hang them on the hooks for two days, these two days, do not Move it, and don't open it with curiosity."

When Jiang Zhennan heard the watering with warm water, he said in a puzzled way, "Will the seeds be ripened with warm water?"

Lin Yuelan had the urge to roll her eyes, and she said in a cold voice, "I'm talking about warm water, not hot water. As long as the temperature reaches 25 degrees Celsius."

"25 degrees Celsius?" Jiang Zhennan and Guo Bing didn't know why.

Lin Yuelan didn't bother to explain too much, she said, "As long as you touch it with your hand, it's fine to feel a little warm."

Although Jiang Zhennan and Guo Bing still didn't understand, they still nodded.

Then, the two of them soaked the 100 jins of seeds in four jars with cold water. According to Miss Lin (Girl Yue'er), the cold water needs to be soaked for five days.

After the fifth day, take it out and put it in a cloth bag, water it with warm water, and then they will sprout.

Lin Yuelan used the two points allocated by the Lin family to go into the paddy field during the time when the seeds were in effect, to gather up pieces of land.

Lin Yuelan instructed the third son and the others, "Get some hay or something and burn it to ashes."

Originally, she planned to buy the people in the village who didn't want straw to burn into ashes, but Lin Yuelan didn't like dealing with those people. Besides, she didn't want to take advantage of those people at all.

Those people should treat the straw as waste, but she, Lin Yuelan, treats it as a treasure.

Perhaps when those people knew the usefulness of straw, they either hid it or wanted to take the opportunity to raise the price. Therefore, Lin Yuelan did not have the patience and kindness to allow them to have this extra income.

Therefore, she would rather leave the wasteland and get some withered leaves than buy their straw.

The third son, the sixth son, and the little twelve are both young and strong men. They are soldiers in the army. They can bear hardships and stand hard work. In addition, they have the strength to quickly get bales of hay and those leaves into the dry field. .

Little Twelve asked very curiously, "Miss Lin, what are these things burning to ashes for?"

"Make fertilizer!" Lin Yuelan didn't hide it either.

Little Twelve scratched his head, indicating that they did not understand.

However, their movements did not stop. They ignited the hay with flint and flint. In an instant, someone from afar was watching the smoke and the flames rising into the sky.

"It's on fire, it's on fire, and the back mountain is on fire." After a while, the villagers in Linjia Village thought that the back mountain was on fire.

When they hurried over with buckets and washbasins, they saw Lin Yuelan and her party actually burning hay.

This suddenly made many villagers angry, but out of fear and fear of Lin Yuelan, they couldn't say anything about Lin Yuelan, so they could only stare at Lin Yuelan, and then went back with the things.

After the crowd dispersed, Lin Yiwei looked at the burning hay with some doubts and asked, "Girl Lan, are you..."

Lin Yuelan replied with a smile, "Grandpa Lizheng, I'm making fertilizer, putting fertilizer in the fields."

Lin Yiwei was very puzzled, "Fertilizer? Fertilizer for the fields?"

Lin Yuelan nodded and said, "Grandpa Lizheng, have you planted?"

Lin Yiwei shook his head lightly and said, "No, I'm going to plant in the next two days. But, Lan girl, do you mean to say, are you getting some fertilizer to plant now?"

Lin Yuelan said, "Yes, Grandpa Lizheng."

Afterwards, she thought for a while, and said to Lin Yiwei, "Grandpa Lizheng, if you can trust me, you will burn your unused straw into ashes, then spread the ashes in the fields, and then sow."

Lin Yuelan didn't tell him about raising seedlings and transplanting rice seedlings now. She didn't want to worry about these matters. Therefore, she wanted to wait for Jiang Zhennan to report to the court.

Therefore, I feel a little sorry for Lin Yiwei.

However, from another perspective, Lin Yiwei wouldn't necessarily listen to her when it comes to matters of livelihood, would he?

Although he didn't know what Lin Yuelan meant by saying this, since he knew that this girl, Lin Yuelan, was enlightened, he knew that this girl would never do things without a purpose.

Besides, those stalks also take up space. If you burn them with fire, it doesn't take time or money. Why don't you believe this girl for a while.

Lin Yiwei nodded and said, "Okay, girl, after I go back, I will burn those things. However," looking at the blazing fire in Mianchan, he smiled and said, "It's just that I have to prepare Good wooden barrels and washbasins, etc., so that you can put out fire at any time. Haha..."

After getting the seedling soil and fertilizer, Lin Yuelan took Jiang Zhennan and the others to Changping Shangao, the five-mu high-class place bought from the Zhou family.

They had to weed those fields, water them, soften them, level them, etc.

However, after Lin Yuelan took people there, her face turned black.

With a stern face, looking at the Zhou family working in the field, and looking at the young crops that just emerged in the field, Lin Yuelan was a little angry.

That's good, the Zhou Ping couple actually put her words behind their ears, wanting to use it first and foremost.

It's just that they have forgotten that these fields are no longer theirs.

Lin Yuelan looked at the few people who were obviously nervous about their arrival but pretended not to see them, and said coldly to Jiang Zhennan and the others, "Go down and pull out these seedlings for me, not a single one!"

The ancients, after all, cherished food.

Such a pull will destroy a lot of food at once.

Jiang Zhennan and the others looked at the green-headed seedlings in the whole mu of land, and said with some embarrassment, "Miss Yue'er, after all, this field has already been planted, look..." See if you are showing mercy.

Only Lin Yuelan interrupted him sharply, and said coldly, "I don't care whether this field has been planted or not. However, this is my Lin Yuelan's field, and no one should try to take advantage of this aunt."

Immediately, he turned to Jiang Zhennan with cold eyes and said, "Can you pull it off?"
