Chapter 280
"Bao'er, you actually picked so many yam seeds! That's great! I'll find some land to plant these seeds tomorrow." Li Hongxiang was overjoyed.

Zhang Tiezhu was also overjoyed. With so many yam seeds, he could plant several acres.

But he frowned and thought for a while, then discussed with Li Hongxiang and the children: "Now that the waterlogging has just passed, every household is not easy, and there is a lack of clothing and food. Since we have so many seeds, we should keep half of them for ourselves. Leave the rest to Lizheng, let Lizheng distribute it to everyone, and let everyone plant some yams together, at least there is some hope."

"Father, you are so kind, just do as you say." Su Jinse had no objection, but felt happy.

Her father is not the kind of selfish villain, on the contrary, he will not disregard his wife and children for others, but on the condition that his wife and children have food, he will help others as much as he can.

Ye Xiange and Tang Yan have been by the side all the time, and when Zhang Tiezhu said that he is willing to give half of the yam seeds to the villagers, their eyes are full of relief. At this time, every household is almost tightening their belts. What a good thing, it is absolutely not willing to take it out.

The next morning, when Su Jinse woke up, she grabbed a handful of yam seeds and soaked them in water. After soaking them, she went to have breakfast.

And this meeting only saw Zhang Tiezhu and Li Hongxiang come back with a basket on their backs and a hoe on their backs, which were full of yams. There are a lot of them, and two handfuls of yam seeds have been picked.

After putting down the things and resting for a while, I started to eat breakfast, and then discussed about planting yams.

Almost all the yams in the back mountain have been dug up. When the two of them went out early this morning, many villagers just happened to go up the mountain with hoes. Everyone knew that the yams could be eaten, and they rushed to dig the yams. Digged up.

Fortunately, they picked some yam seeds.

After breakfast, Zhang Tiezhu and Li Hongxiang went together to choose the land for planting yams, and for this purpose, they went to ask Mr. Xu for advice.

Yam seeds have strong adaptability to the environment, and the general pastoral soil is fine, but avoid waterlogging.

After selecting the land, start digging, turning and leveling the land.

Su Jinse took out the seeds after soaking them for about six hours, and then put the seeds in a ventilated and cool place to dry.

The next day, Li Hongxiang and Zhang Tiezhu sprinkled the yam seeds in the dug soil together.

The land was dug yesterday. The soil is deep and loose, fertile, highly air-permeable, and has good drainage effect. The bottom of the soil is even more base fertilizer.

However, it takes about three or four months for a season of yam to be harvested, so we have to grow some other vegetables during this period.

We have to find a way to plant some crops. The previous crops have been washed away, and there will be a long time until next year's autumn harvest. Otherwise, there will be no food for nearly a year, and many people will die.

So Su Jinse asked Ye Xiange if he had any food seeds. If there were no food seeds, other food seeds that could offset the food would be fine. If the imperial government only distributed disaster food, it would not be able to relieve so many people. Sooner or later, the treasury The food in the house will not last.

This is exactly what Ye Xiange is worried about. There are too many people who have no food to eat. It is not a problem to distribute relief food every day. They really have to find a way to grow food.

"I'll go find a way to get some seeds." Ye Xiange's handsome and stern eyebrows revealed a thoughtful expression.
