Make a fortune by farming: The sweetheart of the first assistant family

The plan for planting high-yield rice that Huo Yunchao handed over to County Magistrate Chen briefly mentioned the fertilizers and feed needed for planting rice.

From this point of view, County Magistrate Chen did not just flip through it and put it aside, but carefully studied the plan written by Huo Yunchao.

County Magistrate Chen gave him enough respect and attention. Huo Yunchao's efforts were affirmed by Magistrate Chen. His hard work was not in vain, and he felt very satisfied and encouraged.

Huo Yunchao answered loudly: "Sir, bean cakes and tea cakes can be used as fertilizer and feed."

Magistrate Chen nodded and continued to inspect the sweet potato planting situation with his hands behind his back, without promising anything to Huo Yunchao.

In the afternoon of the same day, Liu Yamen led a team to transport three oxcarts filled with bean cakes and tea cakes to Guantian.

Liu Yamen patted Huo Yunchao's shoulder very affectionately: "Chao'er, the county magistrate ordered us to deliver the fertilizer, and also asked the six of us to help you. If there is any work in the fields, Chao'er just gives instructions and ensures that it is done properly. when!"

Huo Yunchao was not polite to Liu Yamen and said bluntly: "Uncle Liu, these fertilizers cannot be spread directly into the ground. They have to be processed, otherwise they will easily burn the roots."

Liu Yamen patted his chest and promised: "Chao'er, we don't understand this, we will do whatever you say!"

The rest of the government officials also said that they would obey Huo Yunchao's orders and would never go west when pointing east.

Official fields are in charge of agricultural officials appointed by the county government, and their daily management involves recruiting people to farm the official fields.

County Magistrate Chen attached great importance to the planting of the first batch of sweet potato seeds. He appointed one of his trusted servants as agricultural officials and recruited ten people with clean family backgrounds to plant the seeds.

Coupled with the six strong and healthy government officials,

The work team of nearly 20 people was very efficient. It took less than half a day to process three oxcarts of fertilizer.

Huo Yunchao explained in detail to the agricultural officer responsible for the management: "The fertilizer needs to be soaked for a few more days before it can be spread into the ground until it is completely mature. Otherwise, the roots will be easily burned and the sweet potatoes may be infected with diseases."

The farmer agreed.

Huo Yunchao knew the identity of the agricultural officer and explained in a warm voice: "When the weather is the coldest, the sweet potato seedlings need to be covered with straw and wheat straw to keep them warm to ensure that they do not freeze to death and survive until the next spring."

The agricultural officer wrote down the relevant matters on how to keep the sweet potato seedlings warm. For fear that he would miss the mark, he asked about details such as how to water the seedlings on weekdays and when to apply fertilizer.

Huo Yunchao took the trouble to repeat it again, emphasizing: "If the sweet potatoes are managed well, there is great hope that the yield can reach twenty stones per mu. Through our hands, we can grow such a high-yielding new grain, and the people of the world will not forget us." , our descendants will never forget our contribution! I hope you will do your best and work with me to protect these precious sweet potatoes!"

He is not afraid of talking nonsense, but he is afraid that the peasant officials and the people will cause trouble due to information asymmetry because they fail to fully understand what he said.

In fact, sweet potatoes are a very easy-to-live crop. They can grow well even if they are thrown into wasteland.

Huo Yunchao attached great importance to it and repeatedly emphasized that he hoped that the first batch of sweet potatoes planted could reach an output of twenty stones per mu!

In this way, the sweet potato is more convincing as a super-high-yield sweet potato, and County Magistrate Chen can successfully promote its planting without spending too much effort.

Again, no

Which ordinary person would think that there is too much food in their own granary.

At the same time, Huo Yunchao took the initiative to teach scientific and efficient planting methods to the people of Dasheng Dynasty. His purpose was to allow the working people to harvest more food, so that women and children could have one more bite of food every meal. .

For example, in Pingle Village, the standard diet is two meals a day. Men who make great efforts can only eat half full meals, while women and children at home can only eat half full.

Therefore, the second girl of Xu Ansheng's family was hungry and greedy. After finishing her housework, she went around looking for food with her friends.

From Er Niu to the child in Xu Ning's belly, Huo Yun Chaoguang felt extremely distressed when he thought about how greedy his precious daughter was.

Since time travel, Huo Yunchao has been working so hard, constantly developing various farm tools, pesticides, and finding new grains. His purpose is to give his wife and children a life without worries about food and clothing.

Huo Yunchao is quite self-aware. He cannot do what "Xu Ning wants to reach for the stars but not the moon", but he firmly believes that through his own efforts, his family can live a stable life with enough food, clothing, and books.

Before leaving, Huo Yunchao sternly reminded: "Uncle Liu, you have taken good care of the sweet potatoes. I am not bragging about the twenty stone per mu yield. For such an important new grain, please go back and tell the county magistrate to arrange for manpower to come every day." Patrolling the sweet potato fields. Let’s sail with caution.”

Liu Yamen laughed and said: "Chao'er, if you don't tell me, I will have to send people to patrol every day. I will take care of this. I am also counting on a bumper harvest of sweet potatoes next year. I will pick up some sweet potatoes for your aunt and the others to take home and cook." Let’s eat.”

Huo Yunchao looked around and assured Liu Yamen in a low voice: "Uncle Liu, believe me, the sweet potatoes we grow will be

There will definitely be a bumper harvest next year! The kind filled with granaries! "

Liu Yamen said cheerfully: "Okay! I'll wait!"

After seeing Liu Yamen off, servant Zhou Changxing came over and asked, "Master, are we going home or somewhere else?"

"go home."

From the time Huo Yunchao went out to work in the morning until the sun went down and his brain relaxed, he felt how tired his body was.

The oxcart swayed like a cradle in childhood. Huo Yunzhao swayed before lying down and falling asleep, sleeping soundly.

When he was awakened by Zhou Changxing, the entrance to the village was already in front of him. Huo Yunchao praised Zhou Changxing: "Not bad! He is very discerning."

The boss praises him!

Zhou Changxing suddenly heard Huo Yunchao's compliment and clenched his fists tightly, trying his best to restrain his excitement.

Old people and children gathered at the entrance of the village, noisy and lively like a vegetable market in the 21st century.

Huo Yunchao got off the oxcart and walked a few steps when he heard the voice of the old patriarch of the Huo family: "Chao'er, are you coming back from the sweet potato field? Have you finished planting the sweet potatoes?"

Huo Yunzhao came to Patriarch Huo Xunsheng and explained the situation: "Old Patriarch, there are special agricultural officers responsible for the management and planting of Guantian. I only need to talk about it and the planting is completed in less than half a day. The reason why I came back so late It’s about handling fertilizer…”

Patriarch Huo didn't talk about the land reclamation in front of other people. He only said: "Okay, okay, Chao'er, you've been tired for a long day. Go home and rest quickly."

With the words of Patriarch Huo, no one came over to disturb Huo Yunchao and watched him leave eagerly.

Zhou Changxing's wife Qiu Yun is hard-working and capable, with an eye for work. She can complete everything Xu Ning asks her very well.

.

Qiu Yun came out of the kitchen and reported to Xu Ning: "Madam, the hot water is ready."

Xu Ning was waiting for Huo Yunchao's return at the door with a lantern. Delicious meals were being heated in the pot, and hot water was prepared for her clean-loving husband. However, she still felt empty in her heart and had an unspeakable loneliness.
