Cultivation Starts From Planting Sweet Potatoes

Since the Chinese New Year, the weather has started to get warmer. The plan of the year is spring, and the season for spring ploughing has arrived.

On this day, on a construction site in Heishui Town, there was a roar of gongs and drums, and thousands of coolies had joy on their faces.

The reason they were happy was that Mr. Zhang had promised that when the canal was completed and opened to water, he would invite everyone to a full meal.

After working for more than a month, you can get a full meal. Apart from Heishui Town, you should never find such a good thing again.

They all know that the tenants in other towns are now worrying about their meals, not to mention the luxury of having enough to eat.

Mr. Zhang really kept his promise, and soon a group of people came here carrying a basket. Inside the basket were golden wowtou, which made people drool.

You must know that now the price of corn has risen to sky-high, twenty pennies may not be able to buy a pound.

A coolie picked up the wotou and took a big bite. He was calculating that he should have eaten a penny.

After the famine and turmoil last year, the grain reserves in various places have decreased. The few noble families who have grain stocks are now rare goods, and the prices are increased every three or five times.

Zhang He has no shortage of grain in his hand. The more than three million grains he stole, plus the more than one million catties of grain originally reserved by Wanjia, make a total of four or five million catties.

With so much grain, and the skyrocketing price of grain, he didn't take out a single grain, but kept it all for the tenants in Heishui Town to eat.

The old man Zhang had the idea of ​​selling food several times, but he was persuaded by Zhang He.

Because of Zhang He, in the most difficult months since he took over Heishui Town, no one starved to death.

This is absolutely a miracle!

At present, the population of the towns is insufficient, and many arable lands are uncultivated. Many landlords have offered high prices to recruit refugees, but no one in Heishui Town has left.

On the contrary, some non-local tenants voluntarily invested in Heishui Town, and they were all accepted by Zhang He.

He is not afraid of too many people. Population is the productive force and the foundation of development.

After this channel is repaired, the large fields along the way will no longer suffer from drought, and some low-lying areas can be transformed into paddy fields to grow rice.

The yield of rice is relatively high, and the yield per mu can reach more than 200 catties, and some can even reach 300 catties.

And the price of rice is also much more expensive than corn.

After the construction of the channel is completed, it is time for spring ploughing.

This year, in order to compete for population, landlords in various towns have offered some rent reductions.

In the past, tenants were charged 70% of the land rent, but this year it has generally dropped to 50% or 60%, and the land rent in Heishui Town has also dropped to 50%.

The specific land rent amount will be different according to the land, first estimate the output, and then set a rent amount.

The amount of rent collected is fixed. Even if the land production is reduced, the rent must be paid first, and the rest will belong to the tenants.

Therefore, the tenants can only hope for a good year and receive three or five buckets of grain.

In fact, most of the land rent recovered by the landlord must be handed over to the city lord's mansion.

According to the grain output of Heishui Town in previous years, about 10 million catties can be produced in a year, but the tax paid to the city owner needs to be 3 million catties.

After all, the city lord has raised so many people that he has to eat and drink, and he has to buy resources for immortal cultivation.

Wei Peng has been running around with a few people these days. He has to measure the land and sign a lease agreement with the tenants. He is very busy.

At the same time, Zhang He was also busy farming, and he rearranged the one acre of land in the space.

The sweet potatoes that were originally planted in the space have been cleaned up, and now they are all planted with various spiritual herbs.

There are mainly three kinds of five-leaf Peiyuancao, Bailucao, and Leilingcao, and there are also some auxiliary medicinal materials for alchemy.

After this period of cultivation, he has harvested many mature five-leaf Peiyuan grass and white dew grass.

It's just that he doesn't know about alchemy, and he can't make it into a medicinal pill at present, so he can only go to Zhaoling City to exchange it for medicinal pills to take, and he has to be exploited for a cycle of reincarnation.

As for Lei Lingcao, there was only a very tender seed in the bulb he bought at that time, and he was worried that it would not survive.

Later, it was planted in the space and watered a few times, and it finally took root and sprouted.

It takes 20 years for Lei Lingcao to grow and bear fruit, and from flowering to fruit, it takes another ten years to mature.

He poured water once a day for 30 days before he got the first batch of fruits, and only three fruits were harvested.

In the future, this Lei Lingcao can harvest one batch every ten years, and if several batches can be harvested in a row, the Lei Lingcao will die.

Zhang He planted all the three seeds he harvested, so that he could have four Lei Lingcao plants, and he would be able to harvest more in the future.

However, by continuously using the spiritual spring water in the space to water, he found that the output of the spiritual spring in the space was getting less and less.

In the past, the yield of Lingquan water was accumulated for about ten days, and the entire acre of land in the space could be watered once, but now it cannot be done. It takes 15 days to accumulate the land to water all the land once.

He didn't know what was going on, and for the time being he didn't know what to do to restore the spiritual spring.

If it continues like this, the spiritual spring may eventually dry up.

After Zhang He transplanted all the elixir into different categories in the space, he first watered the spring water for several varieties such as Lei Lingcao.

After doing this, he walked around the acre for several times. The many spiritual grasses planted in it were all his hope for cultivation~www.wuxiahere.com~ When he walked out of the room, he happened to see Mei Yingxue. Cook wine and enjoy flowers under a peach tree in the courtyard.

Zhang He originally bought Mei Yingxue at the price of the little maid, but she didn't seem to have the consciousness of being a maid at all.

Mei Yingxue lived like a young lady in Zhang's house every day, washing clothes, cooking, and serving people, and she never took the initiative to do it.

The old man Zhang often came to explore Zhang He's tone in a subtle way, wondering if Mei Yingxue was pregnant.

Zhang He now doesn't even dare to speak too loudly to instruct her to work, and he dares to touch her there.

With his second-level Qi training, he was really useless when facing the sixth-level Qi training.

Fortunately, Mei Yingxue occasionally gave him some pointers on his practice, so that he could avoid many detours.

Seeing Zhang He coming out, Mei Yingxue poured a glass of wine, "Master Zhang, I made peach blossom wine, would you like to come over and have a drink?"

Of course Zhang He had to drink the wine brewed with his own food.

He leaned over and held up a small wine glass. The wine inside was pink. The aroma of wine and peach blossoms blended together, and it smelled very comfortable.

Zhang He raised his glass and drank it all, smashing it, smashing its mouth, this wine is sweet in the mouth, and the taste of the wine is not too heavy, it is estimated that it is only ten degrees.

For him, this kind of low-alcohol alcohol is more or less the same as a drink.

"You're drinking here and there. It's clearly a donkey drink. You really waste good wine by drinking like this."

Mei Yingxue groaned, but she still poured another glass for Zhang He.

In the Great Zhou Dynasty, wine was a very expensive drink, and drinking was an elegant affair of the upper-class nobles. Drinking from a donkey like Zhang He would be very tasteless.

"This wine is too bland, you have to drink it in large gulps to taste a little wine, and drinking small sips is not what a hero does.

When the crops are harvested this year, I will make some spirits for you to gain insight. "
