The Reborn Lady is Farming

   On the day of the corn harvest, not only did Qi Haoran lead a group of soldiers, but Qi Xiuyuan and Rong Ze came over in person.

  Fan Zijin was fortunate enough to follow along and watch the fun together.

Qi Xiuyuan personally went down and broke a corn cobs, weighed it in the palm of his hand, and said with a smile: "It's quite heavy, after breaking these things down, they will all be sent to the fifth camp, Zijin, don't you have a workshop there? Just hang it there, Haoran, keep the door closed during this time, don't reveal the news."

   Qi Haoran responded, kicked the straw under his feet and asked, "Is this thing still useful?"

   "It can be used to feed the cows. I don't know if the horses will eat it or not. If it doesn't work, it can be used to burn the fire," Mu Yangling said. "But it certainly won't burn so much. If you don't want it, I'll use it to raise the land."

   Qi Haoran asked with interest, "How to raise the land?"

   "I cut it and left it in the ground. When the snow falls in winter, it rots a lot in the ground for a whole winter. In the spring, the soil is turned over to cover it, and it is almost the same when the corn is planted."

Qi Xiuyuan smiled and said, "You can make up your own mind about this matter, but didn't you say that corn can be planted for the second season? I asked the villagers in Sipan Village, and they also said that as long as they planted crops quickly, they should be able to harvest another season before the cold wave. Is your straw still useful?"

"General, this is a low-grade land, and the fertility is not enough. After half a year of planting, you have to rest for half a year. I said that you can plant the second season. It is a high-grade land. You must know that corn seeds are precious now and can't be wasted. Other camps Not to mention, our five battalions alone have five or six hundred acres of high-grade land, and these corn seeds are enough to grow high-grade land."

Qi Xiuyuan didn't think about this issue, he thought about it and said, "I don't know much about this, so I have to leave it to you." Qi Xiuyuan turned his head and said to Qi Haoran, "Haoran, you and A Ling can discuss this matter. Since the seeds are not enough, first plant them in your five camps, and tell the military households that this corn is for the military camps. I will ask you, Brother Rongze, to come up with a charter, how many kilograms of corn you hand in can reduce the amount of military rations for next year. "

   Mu Yangling didn't expect Qi Xiuyuan to think of this incentive policy, and the corner of his mouth couldn't help but twitch.

   In this way, Qi Xiuyuan is not at a disadvantage. The people do not know how to eat corn, and may not even accept this crop for a while, but because the army ration can be reduced or exempted, they will definitely plant it well.

Qin Tianjian has predicted that the drought in Xingzhou Prefecture will intensify next year, and the grain production will continue to decrease. Under such circumstances, it is uncertain whether the military rations can be harvested. Everyone is very concerned.

  Qi Haoran also quickly wanted to understand the key points, and agreed together, turned around and held Mu Yangling and said, "You have someone leave me some straw, dry and green."

   "What are you doing here?" Mu Yangling asked curiously.

   "I'll see if I can feed the horses."

   Mu Yangling lowered his voice and said, "You are so precious to your horses, are you willing to feed them these things?"

   Qi Haoran glanced at her and said, "Who said this was for my horse? Wouldn't you like me to give it to someone else?"

   Those who can afford horses can't afford horse feed?

  Qi Haoran did not intend to explain much, and quickened his pace to keep up with his elder brother.

   Qi Xiuyuan asked, "Can you finish peeling today?"

   "It should be no problem," Qi Haoran said to himself: "They are all skilled now, and there are many people, and they should be able to do it in a day."

Qi Xiuyuan nodded, "Weigh the raw ones, and weigh them again after drying. Get the data as soon as possible, the wheat and rice in the Jiangnan and Lianghu regions should be almost finished by now, and I hope this set of data will arrive at Yuqian at the same time as their data. "

  Fan Zijin lowered his head to calculate, thinking, Mr. Chen should be coming back soon, right?

Qi Haoran resettled the villagers of Sipan Village, so he also learned about the corn situation and said, "If it doesn't rain and the sky is as clear as today, all the data should be available in about seven days."

This is the advantage of having a lot of people. Qi Haoran can do it with only a few dozen people, while Mu Yangling and the others may take half a month or even longer to harvest the corn and dry it, let alone dry it. Peel off the corn kernels.

  The soldiers directly threw the corn on the ox cart and pulled it back to the fifth camp, where it was dried on the field in front of the workshop. This was originally used to dry rabbit skins, because the workshop had been stopped for a while and the smell had dissipated.

It took thirty-six carts for the soldiers to transport all the corn back. The people of Chenggu Village stood in front of their houses watching the excitement, and when they saw the things being transported to the camp, they were surprised and whispered, "This is not a Muhammad. Is it home? Have we transported the army?"

   "We all belong to the army, so that's not what the army wants."

As soon as these words came out, everyone was worried about this year's military rations. This year's revenue was not good. Fortunately, there are more land. To ask for food, as I said just now, they even belong to the army, can they still not give it?

  Qi Xiuyuan and others didn't know the worries of the military households, they just went to the field to see the corn cobs scattered all over the field. Qi Xiuyuan looked at the golden corn, in a good mood, and asked Mu Yangling, "How long will it take to thresh?"

   Mu Yangling scratched his head and said, "Just do a little more work."

Rong Ze said: "You have to be careful, if the corn kernels are damaged, it will directly affect the planting of the next season. I think it is better to invite people from Sipan Village to come over and let them help with drying and threshing, and then Haoran will give them two or three. Ten people are at their command, and hundreds of people should work very quickly."

Qi Xiuyuan nodded and said to Haoran: "Didn't you arrange the people in Sipan Village? Go back and invite people, and then you will invite the famous old people from each banner, those who are better at farming, regardless of gender, let them Follow the people from Sipan Village to work together, so that you don’t have to teach it again when you need to sow seeds.”

   "Don't worry, eldest brother, I have arranged all these things. Now the people of Sipan Village have also divided their land, and they are all included in the military households on my side. You don't have to worry about confidentiality and security."

  Qi Xiuyuan nodded secretly, seeing that it was getting late, he was going to go back. Before leaving, he said to Mu Yangling: "When the data comes out, we will buy it for 20 cents a pound, and I will ask someone to send you money when I come back."

   "But General, millet is only 18 cents a pound, how can you give such a high price for corn?"

  Qi Xiuyuan smiled and said: "The corn is used as seeds now. Of course, it can afford the price, so you can take it. After this year, the price of grain should skyrocket."

No matter how crazy the    grows, the price of corn will hardly reach twenty cents per pound. Mu Yangling can only swallow it when he sees Qi Xiuyuan's insistent expression, and vaguely understands that he is apologizing for Fan Zijin's previous affairs.

   "Okay, then thank you General."

   Qi Xiu smiled happily when she saw that she had taken it.
