Rebirth farming and raising buns

Chapter 103 Soil
The New Year passed quickly, and the whole country calmed down because of the New Year, and then became chaotic again.

But this is just talking about the country of Song, the war is still raging on the other side.

After the Chinese New Year, King Jin Zhao Jin also took orders to leave the capital to the east to find suitable soil for cultivation.

After the new year, Lin Shuang also became busy.

Some of the seeds sorted out before can be planted after a year.

Lin Shuang also divided the land into several pieces, and planted a batch instead of spreading them out, because although the benefits are not seen now, when the fruit trees grow, the benefits of a single variety can be seen in the future.

It took half a month to sow the seeds one by one, and Lin Shuang began to take care of them carefully.

Lin Shuang erected a sign in front of each kind of slice to identify what was planted here.

However, Lin Shuang's act of planting seeds caused a burst of ridicule from the villagers who had not moved out of here.

Who doesn't know that this is a wasteland. Whether they grow crops or vegetables, their yields are very low. Only a local pear can survive, but that kind of pear is sour and astringent and cannot be eaten at all, so no one comes in large quantities. kind of.

Now seeing Lin Shuang laboriously planting seeds every day, I can't help but laugh at her for wasting her efforts. There is only one old woman. After the war started, her son has never returned, and she doesn't know whether she is alive or dead. So the old woman stays at home and doesn't go anywhere. The son came back and couldn't find her.

It was not easy seeing Lin Shuang with a child, so she quietly came to find Lin Shuang.

"Girl, I won't hide this from you. It's all wasteland. When you took the land, you were worried that you would ruin the village people's money and fear that they would retaliate against me, so I didn't dare to tell you, but don't plant it now. , the good seeds will be wasted.”

"It's okay, ma'am, I know what's going on, so don't worry." Lin Shuang is very grateful that there are still people who are willing to tell her the truth, although she actually already knew it.

But I knew it was different from someone coming to tell her kindly, so I couldn't help but care about my aunt: "Auntie, where did your son go before?"

The aunt sighed: "Oh, I don't know where the pillar of my family went. Before the war started, he was a disappointment. He lost all the things in the house. Such a grown-up didn't get a daughter-in-law. Later, when the war broke out, he took it away. In the end, the family always took the money away and never came back.”

Lin Shuang was very angry when he heard that, such a person is really heartless, he took all his mother's money to gamble, and even abandoned his mother when he was fleeing for life and death, he was nothing like a beast.

"Ma'am, what do you live on now?"

"It's okay, the aunt still has some savings that the boy didn't find out, it was left by the old man before, and our Guangyou Village is also backed by mountains and rivers. If it weren't for the fact that this land can't grow anything, it is still a good place. If you go to the mountains to pick things, you won’t be hungry.”

Lin Shuang looked at the aunt, feeling a little sympathetic in her heart: "Auntie, if you don't dislike it, you can eat with me in the future! There are only my son and I in the family, and if we do less, there will be leftovers."

"How about it, girl, it's not easy for you to bring a child. Don't worry, the aunt still has stock at home." The aunt smiled at Lin Shuang: "Since you know what's in mind, the aunt won't bother you."

After sending the aunt away, Lin Shuang sighed, her money was almost spent, and the rest was enough for her and her son to eat, so there was no way to subsidize others.

I went out and looked at the field I planted. Most of the seeds planted in this season are pome fruit trees and drupe fruit trees. It will take at least a year for this fruit forest to grow.

The batch of berry seeds sown in a few days will take a relatively short time, and the shortest one can be harvested in three to five months, but it is relatively troublesome to take care of.

Thinking about the money in my pocket again, I really lament that the money is really not enough to spend.

Originally, the gold dug out from the field at the foot of the west mountain was thought to be enough for her and her son for a lifetime, but now there is not much to use in just two years.

Although she gave her little brother Lin Tian a lot of money before, and someone gave some to the Mo family, but there was still a lot left over before, and most of it has been used up now, and the only thing left is just enough to live on. That's all.

However, Lin Shuang didn't regret spending the money. She just thought about the time when the incident happened in her last life. Lin Shuang counted the money in her hand, and thought of the kind aunt who just came to inform her.

Lin Shuang decided that besides this long-term dependence, she also had to think of other ways to make money.

Somewhere in the south of the Yangtze River, a man in a gray gown got off his horse and checked the surrounding soil.

Then he replied to the slender and handsome man sitting on the other horse: "Go back to Ninth Prince, the soil quality here doesn't seem to be what we are looking for, my subordinates have been to Fanbang, and the soil quality over there is a little bit different." It is dry and not suitable for the growth of crops, but it is very suitable for the precious fruit you mentioned."

Zhao Jin nodded, he knew it was not that easy.

From the east of the capital all the way, they ran all over the villages and mountains along the way, thinking that the climate in the south of the Yangtze River is pleasant, so they came to try their luck, but there was still no suitable place.

"Since you have been there, can you describe what the soil looks like?" Zhao Jin said slowly, although he didn't know what the soil was like, but he was considered to have traveled all over the country in Song Dynasty, so he had some influence on the territory. some concepts.

The person in front of him is the talent he discovered from Meicheng this time, named Lu Cheng.This man knows the soil very well, and he has cultivated many rare treasures in his family.

It's just that most of them are precious medicinal materials. This time, I heard that someone was asking around for soil that can grow precious fruits. Lu Cheng just thought that they were like-minded people, so he wanted to make friends with them, and wanted to follow them to find them, so as to breed new varieties.

However, what Lu Cheng didn't expect was that the person looking for the soil was actually the Ninth Prince of the current dynasty.

However, Zhao Jin admired Lu Cheng's ability very much, so she invited him to look for it together, and promised that if he found it, he would help him find strange herbs.

Thinking that the Ninth Prince never cared about the state affairs, Lu Cheng thought that he was just taking what he needed, not to mention that the Ninth Prince asked for his opinion first, which also showed that the Ninth Prince had a good temperament.

If the Ninth Prince ordered directly, he would not dare to resist, not to mention that he was very interested in the conditions proposed by the Ninth Prince, so he readily agreed.

Along the way, they followed the Ninth Prince Zhao Jin to Jiangnan, but they still couldn't find the kind of soil they wanted.

Now the Ninth Prince Zhao Jin asked, Lu Cheng described what he saw.

Zhao Jin frowned, lowered his head and pondered, and said after a while, "I seem to have some impression of the soil you mentioned. It seems to be near the border. It seems that we will change our direction tomorrow."
