The Reborn Wife is Farming

The yield per mu of corn was quickly calculated, and it was 658 catties, which was only 138 catties higher than the inferior land planted by the Mu family in spring. Not only Qi Xiuyuan and Qi Haoran, but also Mu Yangling didn't quite understand it. satisfy.

But the rain in the second season can't keep up, and it's only watered once, and the sun is far less than that in the first season, so it's understandable.

The corn that was produced was collected by Qi Xiuyuan into Xiying's storehouse, filling two storerooms.

Of course, all these corns can't be used as seeds, they have to be screened again, and how much to bring back to Lin'an Mansion for the servants has to be discussed.

Qin Xiang once wrote a secret letter to the servant, hoping that he could bring back all the seeds. If not, he would take most of it. Unfortunately, the letter was intercepted by Qi Haoran before it reached the servant, and then arrived at Qi Xiuyuan before the case.

Qi Haoran had a perfect explanation for this, "I'm looking into the legacy of Xizuo. The man was riding a high horse, and he was not from the post station or the court. I thought he was Xizuo. Who knew he was from Prime Minister Qin?"

Qi Xiuyuan picked up the envelope and looked at it, and saw that the envelope had been opened. The younger brother had obviously read the letter, so he asked, "Where's that person?"

"He tried to escape, fell off his horse and died."

Qi Xiuyuan looked up at him, put down the letter, and said: "Since he is not good at riding, then forget it, you go back and take care of the roads in Mingshui County, just don't let those fine workers slip through the net, as for the servants here , I'll go and explain to him."

Qi Haoran was not convinced and said: "Brother, Qin Fang's management is too lenient, he wants to want all of our seeds."

Qi Xiuyuan snorted coldly, and said: "So his life may not be long, you go back, the seeds have been selected, and the Shen family will come to take a third of theirs in a few days, you should pay attention, don't let the servant know."

"Brother, how much do you want to give to the servant?"

"The remaining half," Qi Xiuyuan said, "the place in the south of the Yangtze River is not small, but it is a land of fish, rice and water, and the water conservancy is convenient. There is really no need to grow corn. Instead, it is the Sichuan-Guizhou area. How much are you willing to give them, half of what we keep will definitely be given away, among other things, Xingyuan Mansion must not be missed, Dai Wei and Lu Ji have already sent someone to find them, I have to save some for them , and Hanzhong Mansion, in addition to the share of the military households, some of it must be leaked out to the common people..." Qi Xiuyuan had already planned in his heart that even if there was a drought next year, he would not be able to get all the land planted Corn, just to ensure the harvest.

So wheat and rice have to be planted, and most of the high-end and middle-level land have to be used for these, and the rest is used to grow corn and the like.

Qi Haoran calculated in his mind, and said: "Brother, I want to raise a horse."

"Aren't you raising your pony now?"

"No, I want to raise a large number of horses." Qi Haoran looked at him seriously and said, "Brother, the barbarian cavalry is powerful. After we attacked the city before, if the cavalry could keep up, their chief general would not have escaped." If you want to take back your homeland, you must train your cavalry. Hanzhong Mansion was herded by the nobles of the Kingdom of Jin before.

Qi Xiuyuan frowned and looked at him, "This destroys people's livelihood..."

"Brother, I don't want to occupy people's farmland to raise horses, but I want you to allocate a piece of land for raising horses. There are horse farms in Jingzhao Prefecture and Pingyang Prefecture. Why can't we build one in Hanzhong Prefecture?"

Qi Xiuyuan said: "The racecourses are all built by the state and managed by the imperial court. What do you say about opening a racecourse in Hanzhong Mansion?"

"The caravans in Fenzhou are not owned by the state. If the court wants to buy horses, it has to do business with them secretly. Brother, we have to ask for the horses raised by the court. If you ask for ten horses, he will give you one. Why don't we raise it ourselves, we can build a cavalry in less than five years..." Qi Haoran said with bright eyes, "Hanzhong Mansion and Jingzhao Mansion are not far away, as long as we have horses, we can run back and forth, and even detour through Huazhou If we attack its east side, there is a great possibility that Jingzhao Mansion will be taken back under the attack from both sides."

Qi Xiuyuan couldn't help but slightly bent his hand on his lap, tapped his thigh with his fingers, and said after a while, "Are you rich?"

Qi Haoran raised his head halfway, and said proudly: "As long as the eldest brother agrees, I can get money."

Qi Xiuyuan chuckled, thought for a while and waved his hands: "Okay, before the current magistrate of Hanzhong Prefecture takes office, I will enclose a piece of land for you first. It was originally used by a rich man in the Kingdom of Jin to race horses, and it is in Hanzhong. At the foot of Xiangshan Mountain, 30 miles northwest of the mansion, there are about 300 mu, and Xiangshan Mountain is a grassland, but there is also danger there. There is no barrier for people from the Kingdom of Jin and Xixia to enter and exit there. Whether you can keep the horse is up to you. .”

Qi Haoran's eyes sparkled, and Qi Xiuyuan said again: "I know that you and Zijin plan to use the money from business to help elder brother raise soldiers, but you should keep the money for yourself, since you have grown up now, you must have your own private house Money, big brother has his own way here."

Qi Xiuyuan didn't say it before because he was relieved that the two little ones were considerate and would share his worries, but seeing that their own affairs were messed up and there were a lot of things they wanted to do, he didn't intend to tease them.

As long as some things come to your mind, the little money the two of them got is not enough for the army to stuff their teeth. He has 70,000 to 80,000 soldiers, not seven to eight thousand, and he can eat them all in one day. No pants left.

Qi Haoran scratched his head, smiled, and turned to look for Fan Zijin, Fan Zijin thumped his wrist on the ground, "Why didn't my cousin tell you sooner? I have already informed Chen Guanshi to come back. If he said it two days earlier, I will let him Buy all the money and turn it into goods, so you don’t have to bring silver back.”

Qi Haoran's eyes lit up, "Then tell him to bring it back, I'm planning to buy a pony."

Fan Zijin glared at him, "Don't you already have a horse?"

"I plan to build a horse farm to raise horses," Qi Haoran told him his plan, and said, "I have already asked Baili to find someone who can raise horses for me, and when the time comes, I will take people to build fortifications and houses at the foot of Xiangshan Mountain , the horses were raised there, and it was the place where the nobles of the Kingdom of Jin raced horses before, and even the pastures for planting were ready-made, and there were many houses, which saved a lot of trouble."

Fan Zijin patted his head and asked, "Are you kidding me? Do you know how much a horse costs? How many horses can we afford? And don't we have to pay for fodder? We are poor now. "

Qi Haoran looked at him with wide eyes. Fan Zijin couldn't stand being watched by his round eyes. He sat on the chair and said, "It's okay to raise a horse, but it's not this year or next year. You have to give me time. In the next year, when I earn enough money, I will buy you hundreds of horses at once, with enough fodder, what do you think?"

Qi Haoran calculated with his fingers, shook his head and said, "No, it's too long. You bought a pony and I have to raise it for two or three years before I can use it. I also have to train cavalry. How much time has this been wasted?"

"Haste makes waste."

"I knew that time is life, and I want to take back my homeland in my lifetime."

Fan Zijin glared at him, "Why do I feel that you are possessed by General Yuan? All you want is to regain your homeland."

"General Yuan is someone I admire."
