I'm serious about the calamity of fast wear

Chapter 297 The Vicious Mother-in-Law (19)

Hearing that Jiang was willing to give money to the clan to buy the land for sacrifice, the eyes of the elders of the Yang family suddenly became bright.

He hurriedly called for someone, and drove away Yang's mother and the three brothers and sisters of the Yang family.

Regardless of whether Shi Jiang bought a sacrifice field for the clan, they couldn't let Shi Jiang go like this.

One, the noble son, who is a relative of the emperor, obviously came to this remote village because he took a fancy to something in Shi Jiang's hand.

Second, so many people in the village raised more pigs because they listened to Shi Jiang's words!

If Shi Jiang patted his ass and left at this time, and no one took the pigs raised in the village, then they would be in a big loss.

When the time comes, it will be because of them that Shi Jiang has to leave his hometown. I am afraid that the pig farmers in the village will not let them go without the help of the noble son who is related to the emperor.

They not only took people away, but also killed the rumors by the way.

Although Shi Jiang repeatedly made it clear to the Yang family brothers and sisters that the money she earned had nothing to do with them, but he still couldn't stand the imagination in his mind, thinking that Shi Jiang was just being stubborn!
After all, they are the closest relatives of Shi Jiang's bloodline!
If it was said that before, Jiang still had the thought of teaching the three children on behalf of the original owner, but now he has no idea at all.

Plunge headlong into the fields and concentrate on serving the high-yield grain.

After Xie Liancheng built the house next door, he lived next to Shi Jiang's house for almost three months.

Looking at the sweet potato vines in the field, they grow from a few inches long to cover the ground.

When people dug out all the sweet potatoes in that ridge, at least five or six sweet potatoes bigger than a grown man's fist would grow under one sweet potato vine.

This ridge of land was dug out, and there were hundreds of catties of sweet potatoes, enough for a whole family to eat for a month.

If there are more varieties, why worry about the food for the whole family for a year?

Moreover, it only took three months.

The most important point is that planting this thing does not take up fertile land, but wasteland.

What the people lack most these days is wasteland.

Moreover, the northwest where his brother went this time, the environment is harsh and the land is barren, so this sweet potato is the most suitable.

However, Xie Liancheng did not leave immediately.

Just write down the planting method of this sweet potato, and then take a cart of sweet potatoes, and let the servants go straight to the Northwest Army Camp.

Because Shi Jiang planted corn again, and interplanted beans in the cornfield, he really couldn't do without it.

The results can be imagined, the harvest is simply beyond the expectations.

This time, Xie Liancheng wrote down the planting method again, and took a cart full of corn seeds, this time to the Northwest Military Camp in person.

No matter how dull Shi Jiang was, he could still sense the tricks in it.

After Xie Liancheng left, Shi Jiang taught everyone the method of planting sweet potatoes with stems, telling everyone that the sweet potato vines can feed pigs, and the sweet potatoes under the soil can feed their hunger.

This news surprised the whole village.

After all, during this period of time in other places, droughts have been frequent, and many places have already failed to harvest.

Countless people starved to death.

If this sweet potato is really what Jiang Jiang said, it will really save a large number of people.

After the whole village planted the sweet potatoes, Shi Jiang took the sweet potatoes to find shopkeeper Li, and then shopkeeper Li went to the magistrate of the county government.

Let the county magistrate promulgate the method of planting sweet potato seeds, so that every village can plant them on wasteland as much as possible.

This county magistrate is also a good official, the outside world is so chaotic now, although the people under his jurisdiction are not starving to death, they can be regarded as emptying their families.

Not to mention, if people fleeing famine come here and there is not enough food, it may cause riots.

When Xie Lianwu received the sweet potato seeds and letter sent by Xie Liancheng, he still felt dubious, but the court hadn't paid food for a long time.

If it continues like this, even if the foreigners don't call, the soldiers defending the city will lose their morale!
He could only use a dead horse as a living horse doctor, calling for people to take down the sweet potato seeds to grow seedlings, and then opened a wasteland to plant them.

When Xie Liancheng came to the border with his corn seeds, Xie Lianwu led his soldiers and repelled the foreigners who came to attack Caogu, and they returned to the city exhausted.

"Brother, do you see what good things I brought you?"

When Xie Liancheng saw that Xie Lianwu arrived at the Dudu's mansion, he rushed over, took his elder brother's hand, and pointed to the cart of corn seeds and said.

Xie Lianwu raised his eyebrows slightly, and fixed his eyes on the golden corn.

"What is this?"

"Corn, at that time the lady called it corn. The yield is not lower than that of sweet potatoes, and it can be interplanted with beans."

Xie Liancheng said excitedly.

"By the way, brother, you should be able to dig sweet potatoes these days, right?"

Xie Lianwu nodded, and replied: "As soon as you send someone to deliver it, I will ask someone to do as you said. But the carload of sweet potato seeds that can grow seedlings is not too much. Fortunately, what kind of inserts did you use?" Yes. After the seedlings are raised, the seedlings grown from a single sweet potato seed can be planted on at least half an acre of land."

What he didn't say was that all the hopes of the whole city now rested on this sweet potato.

As long as this sweet potato can really produce high yields, it will be able to be planted in large quantities in the military camp in the future, and even if the imperial court does not pay the food, it can still be used for chewing in the military camp.

Because the imperial court has only issued grain and pay once so far, most of which are mixed with sand and stones, not to mention, most of them are not rice, but rice bran.

Let the soldiers eat such a thing, it really makes everyone feel cold.

Xie Lianwu sent people out of his family to buy food, but he hasn't come back yet, and he doesn't know if he can buy food.

After Xie Liancheng was excited, seeing the frown between his elder brother's eyebrows, he didn't understand, so he couldn't help cursing.

"This bunch of bastards, we are here to guard the border with all our might, and when they arrive, they suspect that the soldiers will be deducted from their pay."

Xie Lianwu opened his mouth to say something, but when he thought of fighting bloody battles at the border, the crown prince was more than suspicious of him and deliberately withheld the military pay. While it really chilled him, he felt resentment just like Xie Liancheng.

He was educated to be loyal to the emperor and patriotic, but if he is loyal to such a emperor, how can he obey?
After Shi Jiang asked the whole village to open up wasteland to plant the sweet potato vines, three months passed in the blink of an eye, and the sweet potatoes dug out made the whole village cheer.

The sweet potatoes dug out by every household are enough for the family to chew for a year.

Not to mention, those sweet potato vines can also be used as hogweed for pigs to eat.

On the day when the heavy snow fell, the whole village gathered to weigh the pigs at home, and waited for Shi Jiang to collect all the pigs for money.

Shi Jiang didn't delay everyone, and called his servants to buy all the pigs weighing more than 120 catties from door to door, and put them in his own pigsty first, waiting for shopkeeper Li to come and collect them.
