Don't panic, the family boss is busy farming

Chapter 291
Villagers found that this year's spring plowing is different from previous years.

Shonai is all dry land, but this year it diverted water to create [-] acres of paddy fields, which is really strange.

"What's going on here?" Ma Guifang asked Zheng Lai, who was in charge of supervising the paddy fields, in confusion.

Zheng Lai was also ignorant, so he replied: "I heard that the rice seeds were shipped from the south. The Zhou family guys squatted in the shed for four full months and came up with a new one. The third lady ordered the rice seeds to be planted on [-] acres. The paddy fields make them toss."

Ma Guifang clicked her tongue, "Twenty acres! If nothing can be grown here, how much food will be delayed."

Zheng Lai shook his head, "Who knows what Miss San is thinking, we don't understand, and we dare not say, just do our job well, and we will know when the rice grows in a few months."

Ma Guifang thinks about it too. Anyway, in the past few years, the farming method has been changed every year, and the harvest is getting better every year. It is right to believe in the Lord.

The two went to work separately.

Of the [-] acres of paddy fields, three acres were planted with the hybrid rice seeds cultivated by Zhou Rong and others. For the remaining seventeen acres, Xu Yue was going to take a big gamble, leaving only two acres of three-line rice seeds and planting the rest.

If you want to hybridize rice, you have to pay attention to the planting method. You must first select high-quality rice seeds, and then cross-plant two pairs of different lines of rice. After the heading and flowering, artificial pollination.

The hybrid rice that has been obtained can save this pollination effort, but it can only be planted for one season, and one generation is not as good as the next generation.

Therefore, new hybrid rice varieties have to be bred every year to maintain such a high yield.

But everything is just beginning now. Whether the agricultural students can successfully breed hybrid rice seeds in large quantities depends on the autumn harvest in July and August.

From the time the rice was planted, Xu Yue's heart had been tied to the [-]-acre experimental field.

Leave all the other chores behind and leave them to Junmei and Xu Dalang, who are only responsible for the communication in Jiaozhou in the south.

Gongsun Hao’s shipyard stopped after finishing the eighth sea-going ship, and only built the various parts according to the disassembly atlas. It seemed that the shipbuilding plan was stopped, but in fact it was just waiting for an opportunity to assemble the parts.

All eight large ships went into the sea, and there were more and more large ships going back and forth, and the exchanges between the north and the south became more and more intensive.

Xu Yue didn't know how much effort her sister had spent. She had only been to the south for more than a year, and she was able to continuously send sugar, refined salt, kelp, grain and other bulk materials from the south to the north.

Perhaps, magic is the greatest source of energy.

This year, apart from focusing on the operation of her own Wubao and hybrid rice, Xu Yue spent the rest of her time building warehouses.

But with so many warehouses built, Xu Yue always felt very unsafe, and always wanted to hide these things where outsiders could not notice.

However, the only secret space she can have is the pitiful little space in the research room.

In order to release the pressure, Xu Yue decided to sell sugar and refined salt to the outside world after a long-distance discussion with her mother and father through the walkie-talkie.

All of a sudden, it caused a sensation in Yuyang County.

Fine frosting as white as snow costs only [-] Xujiachou per stone, equivalent to less than six Xujiachou per catty.

Refined salt without a bit of bitterness costs only six hundred Xujia chips per stone, which is equivalent to five Xujia chips per catty, which is equivalent to the price of a catty of rice in Xujiazhuang.

Regardless of the price of white sugar, because the sugar in Daqing does not have a large output, most of the sugar is bought by the rich and powerful, and very few live in the private market, so the price has always been fluctuating.

However, the price and output of salt have been relatively stable. In the past, coarse salt was 6.6 yuan per stone, equivalent to [-] yuan per catty.

If it flows into the hands of ordinary people, it should be priced at eight to ten yuan a catty.

However, this is only the price before the Red Scarf Army uprising. Now all over the country are fighting together, the world is in chaos, and warlords around the world are refining coins in large quantities, and inflation is particularly severe.

In the past few years, a catty of salt was equivalent to about [-] yuan per catty. In the past two years, it has risen to two to three hundred yuan per catty.

Yuyang County is a bit better. Neighboring Bohai County has salt mines. Both counties are under the control of a warlord. Coarse salt can still be bought, and the price is relatively stable, ranging from 130 to 150 renminbi.

The salt produced from the salt mine in Bohai County is wholesaled by the government to private salt dealers, and then sold by the salt dealers to the homes of ordinary people. The profits from this, Gong Sunhao, a former slave trader and smuggler, said, are huge. earn!
With the support of her family, Xu Yue immediately felt Gongsunhao's comfort as soon as she released the salt and sugar.

The volume of cargo transported by sea ships is very large. Only one ship can transport [-] catties of salt and [-] catties of sugar. Compared with the cost of horses and horses and a lot of manpower required by land, the cost cannot be lowered.

As the source manufacturer without middlemen to make the difference, countless coins were thrown into her Xu family money box from around Yuyang, and soon Xu Yue felt that the warehouse just built was going to be full again.

The sale proceeds of 10,000+ money made the family's finances that were still a little tight instantly relaxed.

For a while, there was an endless stream of businessmen who came here from other places after hearing the news, which temporarily boosted the GDP of Yuyang County.

But it's a pity that they came late. The total amount of sugar and salt was not much, and it had already been distributed by the local gentry in Yuyang.

However, it was not a waste of time to come here. They failed to grab salt and sugar. The porcelain, charcoal, ready-made clothes, plow rakes and other goods in the Xujia Bazaar could always make some money by transporting them back.

It's just that I came to Xujiawubao this time, and I always felt something was wrong after I went back.

Such a powerful Wubao stands outside the city of Yuyang County, so the prefect of Yuyang just let it go?

And among these businessmen, there are many government businessmen who have heard the rumors and risked coming from other states and counties. The purchase of goods is fake, and it is true to inquire about the truth.

In the past two years, there has always been a rumor in the North, saying that the husband and wife generals under the command of General Gongsun Zan have a faint heart of rebellion and self-reliance.

But in the past, everyone just listened to it. After all, the husband and wife really made great contributions to Gongsun Zan's victory in Bingzhou.

Now that I come to see it, I can't tell whether the rumors are true or false.
.
"Brother, I wonder if the Lord's family will be free to meet with me today?"

A middle-aged businessman from the south grabbed Zheng Lai, the market management supervisor who was hurriedly passing by the hotel, and asked cheerfully.

Behind the businessman stood a few companions who came with him. The young one looked about 25 or [-], and the older one was nearly forty. This was the middle-aged businessman standing in front of Zheng Lai who was smiling like a Maitreya Buddha.

Zheng Lai still has a little impression of him, it seems that his surname is Jia, and he came to Xujiazhuang half a month ago for the frosting as fine as snow.

It's a pity that it came too late, Tangshuang had already been divided up by the relatives of the main family in Wubao next door, Gongsun Yan and Gongsun Yu.

However, Merchant Jia and his group did not leave because of this. Instead, they stayed in the hotel, saying that they wanted to meet the master's family and discuss big business.
