The Reborn Wife is Farming

Mu Yangling insisted on growing sweet potatoes because Chen Ming bought a lot of vermicelli during the Chinese New Year, and Mu Yangling remembered sweet potato noodles.

It is true that sweet potatoes are not easy to preserve, but if made into sweet potato powder, they can be stored for a long time after drying.

Even if you can't eat this with every meal, using it alternately with coarse grains will greatly alleviate the phenomenon of food shortage.

It was only then that Mu Yangling remembered that he had been working on how to grow food and how to increase the output of food, but he forgot to develop ways to eat food, such as corn, which can be ground not only for porridge, but also for corn flour. Made into cornmeal, used to make corn buns and pancakes.

Although she didn't know whether to add other flour or the like, there were so many people in this world, couldn't others figure it out?

Mu Yangling seemed to have opened the door to a new world, but it's a pity that she is not a standard foodie, otherwise she might know more ways to eat.

Since Mu Yangling insisted on planting sweet potatoes, the village chief and Li Zheng had no choice but to go out and buy sweet potatoes. Since there was still some time before planting, they could grow seedlings at home first.

The sweet potato was introduced from Fuzhou, and it is said to be a product from overseas. Although it has only been around for twenty years, it has already spread to the Jiangnan area.

Most of them are planted in the vegetable garden. People can eat the shoots on the vines, and the rest can be harvested and fed to pigs and chickens. Because they grow fast, they have always been the favorite of those who raise poultry.

As for sweet potatoes, everyone loves to eat them, both raw and cooked. For a period of time, people still ate this food as food, because it is much more delicious than bran, and it is easy to feed. Pull the soil directly behind the house and plant it, and it will live within a few days, and the sweet potatoes planted do not need to pay taxes or rent.

So for two years, everyone liked to grow this thing, and then ate it every day, and ate it every day. Although they liked to fart, everyone didn't mind it very much.

But not long after, everyone felt a fire in their stomachs, heartburn-like. They didn't understand that it was caused by too much stomach acid, but they just thought that they might be seriously ill and dying.

At this time, everyone realized that eating too much sweet potato is not good.

In the next year, everyone didn't even want to touch the sweet potato, for fear that it might be poisonous. Someone asked a doctor to confirm that it was not poisonous before starting to grow it again, but they didn't dare to eat more.

So everyone was surprised that the village chief wanted to buy so many sweet potatoes and vines as seeds.

Planting so many sweet potatoes, the vines will not work in vain, right?

But when I think that they are going to rent those wastelands to repay the interest, it doesn’t matter. Sweet potatoes are good, that kind of thing requires less work, and you don’t need to be careful. Both are used less.

Li Jinghua didn't know anything about farming, so she couldn't understand Mu Yangling's excitement, "For a family like us, we only need to leave the farming to the servants. Why do we have to do it ourselves?"

Mu Yangling smiled and said: "Sister-in-law, my ideal is that there will be no famine in years of famine. This cannot be achieved by simply opening up wasteland and farming. The most important thing is to increase production. Otherwise, the population will increase in the future, and more and more wasteland will be opened. It may not be able to fill the stomach. It is because many people think like my sister-in-law that they completely leave the farming to the servants and tenant farmers, and do not want to go further, so the development of agriculture is so slow."

Li Jinghua was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "How can we, with the number of people who have been bent for decades, be able to do something that even saints have been unable to do for thousands of years?"

"Regardless of whether I can do it or not, I have always worked hard, and I will not regret it in the future. Besides, I am still young, and I still have fifty or sixty years. Even if I take a small step forward in ten years, fifty or sixty years Then we can take a big step forward.”

Li Jinghua couldn't help laughing out loud, pointing at Mu Yangling's forehead and said with a smile: "I didn't expect you to have such great ambitions, and you actually wanted to live to be seventy or eighty years old." Mu Yangling is ten years old this year. Seven years old, fifty or sixty years old, isn't it nearly eighty?

"Sister-in-law, don't you focus on the wrong thing?" Mu Yangling stared, "Weizhi is my ambition in agriculture, right? I just live to be seventy or eighty years old. What's the problem?"

Although the life expectancy of people in this world is very short, they live affluent lives, and in some respects they pay more attention to health preservation than modern times. Although the medical level is very low, she does not think it is difficult for her to live to be eighty years old. On the contrary, it is her goal in agriculture , I don't know if it can be achieved in my lifetime.

However, Li Jinghua took Mu Yangling's agricultural ambitions like a child's dream, because for hundreds of years, although the grain yield per mu has also slowly increased, and the farming technology has also slowly improved, but it must be done It is completely impossible to live without famine in a famine year.

If there is no famine in a famine year, is it still called a famine year?

Even in a prosperous age, we cannot ensure that the people are free from hunger. Although Li Jinghua is a lady of the family and does not understand agricultural planting, she has read the account books of her family's farm and knows how much a mu produces. With that kind of production, unless The imperial court does not collect taxes, and it can ensure that every household has enough land. Otherwise, in a prosperous age, there will still be a lot of people suffering from hunger.

Li Jinghua did not expect that Mu Yangling would go farther and farther on this road in the future, and let future generations continue to walk along her road. In less than a hundred years, she would realize her dream of famine and famine .

At night, Mu Yangling bowed her head in front of the desk to write her agricultural plan. The more she wrote, the more excited she became. There was never a time when Mu Yangling was so eager for Qi Xiuyuan's rebellion to succeed.

Qi Xiuyuan became the emperor, and she was considered to be the only member of the royal family, and it would be much more convenient to do anything by then.

After writing the agricultural plan, Mu Yangling took out the map again. At first, he filled the map with the information obtained by the guards, and then circled several places. He wondered when Qi Xiuyuan and Qi Haoran would be able to take these places and make Jiangnan When the area is almost cleaned up, they should be able to return to Lin'an City.

At this moment, Qi Haoran kicked Fei Bai away with his red-eyed kick, and shouted, "Get the horse ready!"

Fei Bai spat out a mouthful of blood, and even scrambled forward to hug Qi Haoran's leg, begging: "Master, sir, you can't leave, the hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the whole army are watching you, if you leave The group of dragons has no leader, uncle, and uncle is still pointing at you and attacking him left and right."

Qi Haoran looked down at him coldly, his eyes were almost like knives, he gritted his teeth and said: "Release, I told you to relax."

"Master, let Zhanyu lead people to rescue the fourth grandma and the others..."

Without saying a word, Qi Haoran directly kicked Fei Bai out again. This time, there was a click on Fei Bai's chest, and his ribs broke.

He endured the pain and got up to look over, but saw Zhan Yu standing behind Qi Haoran and knocked him out with a palm.

Fei Bai heaved a sigh of relief, knowing that Zhan Yu succeeded because Fourth Master was not on guard under his grief and anger, he didn't dare to relax, and hurriedly said: "Hurry up and take the little general back to the camp, and ask someone to guard him strictly, Zhan Yu, you Immediately lead someone to hurry up and rescue the fourth grandma, go!"
