The Reborn Wife is Farming

Qi Haoran swallowed, thinking of the information that Mu Shi sent back when he came back last time, he said that many Han people were looking for a route to escape to Dazhou.

This may have been a good thing in the past, but it was a disaster in the face of natural disasters. If so many refugees fled to Xingzhou Prefecture, what would they give them to eat? If it can't be brought out, this riot can't be targeted at Da Zhou?

The riots of the common people are sometimes more terrifying than the war outside. The thought flashed across Qi Haoran's heart, and he raised his head to look at his elder brother with a "huh".

"What's wrong?" Qi Xiuyuan noticed his younger brother's movement, turned his head and asked.

Qi Haoran quickly shook his head, "It's okay, brother, you can continue talking."

Qi Xiuyuan and Fan Zijin glanced at Mu Yangling secretly, knowing that Qi Haoran must have thought of something, but they were concerned that Mu Yangling would not say it, so they didn't ask any further. Qi Xiuyuan continued: "Now the army's food and grass are each responsible, although I can ask the imperial court for support, but the possibility of the imperial court appropriating grain is zero, so before the chaos begins, I hope that more grain can be stored in the camp," Qi Xiuyuan said: "Not only grain, but also grain and grass, harvested this year All the wheat straw and straw are dried and kept, and each household must hand over a certain amount, and we will discuss this matter later.”

Qi Xiuyuan turned his head to look at Mu Yangling, and said with a smile, "So all the corn you plant has to be kept as seeds, but don't worry, I don't want you for nothing, I'll pay a high price, how about it?"

"It's all up to the general to decide, but the high price is unnecessary. The little general paid for this kind of money back then."

Qi Xiuyuan smiled and said: "How much did he spend? Now I want more than 20 acres of seeds from you. This is a big deal. If you have any ideas, just tell me, as long as you can do it." I did it for you."

Mu Yangling thought for a while, and said solemnly: "General, you said that there may be chaos in the future, but in fact, it is only ordinary people who are really suffering and starving. Although this corn is not delicious, it can save lives anyway. I want to sow this Spread the method, let everyone grow some corn, even if there is a drought and flood, the rice and wheat harvests fail, at least there is this thing to save life temporarily."

Qi Xiuyuan reached out and touched her hair, smiled and praised: "Ah Ling has the world in mind, that's good, I have no objection to this, but there are very few corn seeds left in this world, as far as I know, except for four pans There are some in the village, and the one in your hand is the largest."

"And the seeds in Sipan Village are not good," Fan Zijin interjected, "I knew Zhuang Dawei when he was still here. Sipan Village is surrounded by mountains, so there are few fields, and the corn grown is the same. Not much, plus the harvest is not good, all of them may not be as much as yours."

Qi Xiuyuan nodded, "Even if we pay for the seeds of Sipan Village, it may not be enough for the military households of our army to sow seeds, let alone spread them."

Seeing that Mu Yangling bowed his head and remained silent, Qi Xiuyuan smiled and said, "However, we can do some preparations in advance. Disasters don't just happen. There is still some food in the treasury. In addition, the autumn harvest is coming soon. This year should be able to survive. There will be no problem in the first half of next year. The real difficulty will start in the second half of next year. By then our second batch of corn will also mature. Not only can we set aside part of it for food, but we can also select a large number of seeds. Before that, we can. Spread the news of the high corn yield."

Fan Zijin said to himself: "Big cousin, why don't you let me do this."

Qi Xiuyuan shook his head, "I don't need you at all. When Ah Ling's corn field is harvested and I get the data, I will write a letter to ask for credit for Ah Ling. When the court rewards you, the whole Dazhou will know. How can it be used?" looking at you?"

Mu Yangling was stunned, pointed to his nose and said, "Please credit for me?"

"That's right," Qi Xiuyuan said with a smile, "You planted the corn. If you don't take credit for you, who do you take credit for? Over the past hundred years, since the return of the fleet, the Ministry of Household and the Ministry of Industry have hired many farmers to do this. But it has been poorly planted, and the highest yield is only fifty-six catties per mu, and the seeds that have been sown are more than that. Now that you have found the right method, shouldn't you be rewarded?"

Mu Yangling opened his mouth and looked at Fan Zijin, Fan Zijin muttered in a low voice: "Obviously Haoran bought this kind of seed."

Qi Xiuyuan glared at his cousin, and said to Mu Yangling: "The imperial court's commendation won't have any practical rewards, but the reputation is also good for you. I will report two names when the time comes. Your father is a soldier. It is useless for him to want this reputation, so I want to report the names of you and your brother Mu Bowen. You have the edict of the imperial court's reward, and your parents will no longer have to worry about your marriage, and your brother is weak , With this, it will be smoother to become a civil servant in the future."

Qi Haoran pursed his lips and smiled, winked at Mu Yangling, bumped into Fan Zijin again, and became cheerful.

Mu Yangling didn't expect Qi Xiuyuan to even think of these things, and he was silent for a while and said, "General, I can't actually be this one, these are actually the things of the predecessors, I just rely on some things that others don't have to grow this output, But when it comes to farming, I must be better than others. I only planted this corn for one season, but the villagers in Sipan Village have planted it for nearly a hundred years and studied it for nearly a hundred years. Now as long as this knot is untied, they will only be stronger than me. If you really want to write a letter, please seal it, why don't you report it to Sipan Village." Mu Yangling felt that no matter how successful a village was to study a crop for a hundred years. Without success, it is a sense of victory to be able to persist for so long, "Let me tell you one more thing, this corn is drought and cold resistant, and it should be able to be planted in the second season in our Xingzhou Prefecture. I am afraid that the cold wave will come too early , Tender corn is not pharaoh, but I think the villagers in Sipan Village may have a way, if you want to get a lot of seeds in a short time, you have to rely on them."

Qi Xiuyuan and Qi Haoran looked at each other, Qi Haoran said: "You want us to take all the people from Sipan Village?"

Mu Yangling said: "Sipan Village has always been isolated from the outside world. Although it is in the territory of Jin Kingdom, it has not been disturbed. The road is also connected to Mingshui County. There are only more than 50 households in the village. All the people have been moved out. It's not difficult. When Zhuang Dawei helped me plant corn before, he mentioned many precautions, including insect and weed control, but in fact, my attention is more on the wheat and rice fields, and I really don't know much about these corns. Take care, if you want to ask me about how to grow this corn, I know, but if you want to ask about how to eliminate pests and prevent damage, I don’t understand anything deeper. If you want to grow this kind of thing on a large scale, these are the things you must know .”

Qi Xiuyuan knocked on the table and said: "Sipan Village has grown corn for nearly a hundred years, and there is really no one who is more familiar with them." Qi Xiuyuan put his eyes on Mu Yangling and asked, "Such a big deal? Don't you feel bad about giving up the credit?"
