Happy peasant girl

Chapter 236 Seed Effect (3)
"Put it over there first. In addition to the Narcissus and the other four in the garden, find a few trustworthy people, then take them to the secret garden, and then plant the things that should be planted. In addition, tell them to get rid of the secret garden. Don't go anywhere else in the garden." Linqingxi now knows that the cave is in the hinterland of the mountain, and there are many ferocious beasts around, if you don't know any martial arts, it's best not to wander around.

"Understood, girl!" Jasmine and Qiangwei had already been secretly observing whether there was anyone in Xiyuan that could be used further, and now they both had a target candidate in their minds.

"Girl, the five farms have started planting those foreign seeds this year. Tomatoes, peppers, and cucumbers are all growing very well. The girls found those seeds in the capital and have already planted them in the secret garden. But what does the girl plan to do with the corn seeds?" ?” Hibiscus asked.

The corn was planted outside the cave at first, but later, Linqingxi planted all the corn in the secret garden. In addition, she also planted those rice seeds by the lake in the secret garden, and dug out There is a small stream, and all the rice is planted in the water, and sometimes many fish can be seen swimming in the rice.

"How many corn seeds are there now?" Lin Qingxi asked.

"The girl only plants five acres of land every year, and now the seeds are more than 2000 catties." Ling Lan said.

"These seeds must be stored according to the method I said. In the coming year, people will reclaim more land and start planting corn on a large scale." There are still many unowned wastelands under Damei Mountain, and Linqingxi plans to reclaim some wasteland next year. , and then mainly grow corn.

"Girl, after harvesting the wheat, what shall we plant?" Qiangwei asked.

Since Linqingxi didn't plan to grow winter wheat anymore, these thousands of acres of land couldn't be left empty, and something had to be planted.

"Let's plant grass!" Lin Qingxi said with a smile.

"Girl, Lily of the valley may have misheard, what did you say you want to plant?" Lily of the valley really thought she had heard it wrong.

"Grow grass, do you still remember the kind of grass seeds I asked you to collect in the mountains?" Lin Qingxi smiled and asked Lily of the Valley.

"I remember, you said you wanted a lot of grass seeds, and even asked me to hire many children from the village to look for grass seeds on the side of the mountain. At that time, everyone thought I was crazy!" Xi suddenly told her to let her collect some weed seeds, and the more the better, although she didn't know what Linqingxi was going to do, she still did it.

"Hehe, you're not crazy, and I'm not crazy! The grasses I asked you to find are all good grasses that can increase soil fertility and improve soil quality, and most of them are relatively cold-resistant, and some of them can survive the winter. There is no need to apply too much fertilizer, and the crops grown in our land are better than others." Lin Qingxi said with a smile.

"Those wild grasslands are so useful, if you know, I will gather more grass seeds." Lily of the Valley said with some regret.

"When it's time to plow the land, just sprinkle the grass seeds on the ground. In addition, set aside another [-] mu of land to plant some autumn and winter seasonal vegetables, so that you don't have to worry about the vegetables you eat in Nayuan and Xiuyuan. In addition, white birch , Bai Yang, you will mainly stay in the secret garden from now on, as long as I have Haitong and Hailan by my side, Palm Bamboo and the others can also be brought to the secret garden.” Through observation during this period, Linqingxi found that Palm and the others were very fond of him. Loyal and hard working.

"Yes, girl!"

In the next few days, the people in Linqingxi and Xiyuan began to be busy with their duties. After the wheat was harvested with a sickle, it was directly dried on the wheat field pressed out of the ground, and then put into the warehouse. inside.

Because Qiangwei employs more part-time workers, the wheat in Xiyuan is harvested very quickly. In addition, the mill is pulled by oxen, and the wheat is threshered much faster than manpower.

On the other side, Linyuan Mountain asked Lin Dawang, Lin Changsheng, Lin Agui, Linxing, Linhu, Lin Dashan, and Lin Zhongguo, Lin Qinghao, and Lin Qingmu to use the sickle on the one hundred mu of wheat Cut and tie.

Then it was dried on the wheat field for two days, and then a large wooden barrel was found. Several big men stood by the side of the barrel, grabbed the straw and began to knock on the side of the barrel. After beating like this, the wheat grains will naturally fall. in a barrel.

Linqingxi asked Linyuan Mountain to crush it with a stone mill, but Linyuan Mountain and they all disagreed, saying that this is the wheat seed of the villagers for the coming year, and it would be a pity if it was crushed.

Fortunately, during the autumn harvest, the weather was always sunny. Even though I was very tired, all the wheat was harvested.

However, after the news that the wheat yield per mu of land in Linqingxi was more than 600 catties came to Linjia Village and surrounding villages, many people began to come to the door, hoping to buy some wheat seeds for the coming year from the old Linjia, that is Lu Zhiming also brought money, saying that he wanted to buy a large amount of spring wheat seeds from Linqingxi.

The backyard of the old Linjia ancestral house has been rebuilt, and now the women in the village have moved to that yard, which makes the yard of the old Linjia ancestral home much quieter.

But people in the village seem to be accustomed to using the courtyard of the old Linjia ancestral house as a place to chat and talk at night. Therefore, many people come in small groups after eating. Fortunately, the place is big enough and there are no wooden beds to sit on. But Lin Qingmu made a lot of small stools when he had nothing to do in his spare time, all of which came in handy.

That night, although Lu Zhiming came in plain clothes, many villagers still recognized him. At first, everyone was very restrained, but later they found that Lu Zhiming was a very friendly county magistrate, so they didn't treat him that much.

"Master County Magistrate, do you also want to buy Xi girl's wheat seeds?" Lin Changsheng asked boldly.

"That's right, the fact that Xi'er's wheat variety has a high yield is now known to all the people in Fu'an County. Even if it grows to the average yield as rumored, the people in Fu'an County will have nothing to worry about." Lu Zhiming finished the case. He had just returned to Fu'an County, and not long after arriving at the county government, Master Jiang found him in a panic, saying that Linqingxi had high-yield wheat seeds in his hands.

How to increase the yield of wheat, Lin Qingxi told Lu Zhiming the method long ago, and he also wrote it as a memorial to the current emperor.

The emperor had asked agricultural officials to plant wheat according to the method Linqingxi said, and the yield had indeed increased a lot, but it was still a long way from reaching more than 600 catties per mu.

"Master, how much money do you have to buy wheat seeds from me? You, the county magistrate, don't have a lot of salary for a month. I heard from Sister Xia Rong that you don't even have the money to buy jade hairpins for your wife!" Lin Qingxi is not afraid to reveal Lu Zhiming's shortcoming is that her [-] mu of land is given to the villagers for free, but the rest is not free.

"Master, can I pay you on credit first, and I will pay you back slowly later, don't worry, I have written all the paperwork!" As he said that, Lu Zhiming took out a paper paper from his arms, on which his personal seal had been affixed.

As a county magistrate, he is indeed shy and has nothing to worry about, but for the sake of the people of the county, he doesn't mind writing IOUs to his apprentices at all.
