Space Farming: Traveling through Ancient Times to Do Business

Old Master Jiang nodded, with a worried look on his face: "That's right, the rice production is high this year, but the market is limited, and the villagers are worried."

After hearing this, Jiang Xue smiled confidently and said, "Grandpa, don't worry. I won't touch the 30% of rice I got this year. I plan to save it as seed for the third season."

When Mr. Jiang heard this, his eyes lit up and he joked, "Oh? You want to save the rice for seeds? This is a bold decision. However, since you are the patriarch, I will naturally listen to you. I believe in your vision and decision-making."

Jiang Xue smiled and nodded: "Grandpa, don't worry. I did this after careful consideration. The rice in our village is of high quality. If it can be used as seeds, it will definitely increase the yield in the third season. Moreover, this is also to ensure the long-term food supply of our village."

After hearing this, Mr. Jiang nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, since you have such a plan, then I am relieved. I believe you can lead the villagers to a better future."

The two smiled at each other, and the worries in their hearts gradually dissipated.

"If you want to cultivate so much grain into seeds, then doesn't it mean that you have to start raising seedlings again while the new batch is still being planted?" Jiang Feng, as the brother, asked curiously, with a look of strong interest in his sister's decision.

Jiang Xue nodded and explained patiently: "Yes, that's right. Although this will increase the workload, in the long run, high-quality grain seeds can bring higher yields, which is very beneficial to our village."

Jiang Feng continued to ask: "But, with so many kinds of grain, how much space do we need to grow seedlings? Is there enough vacant land in our village?" He seemed a little worried, after all, land is a limited resource.

Jiang Xue smiled and said to her brother, "Brother, don't worry. I'm already looking for a suitable location. There are a few pieces of wasteland on the edge of the village. We can first clean them up and use them for seedling cultivation. In addition, we can also consider negotiating with the villagers to rent some of their temporarily unused land."

After hearing this, Jiang Feng relaxed his brows and nodded: "Oh, that should be no problem. As long as there is a suitable place, the seedling cultivation can proceed smoothly."

Jiang Xue responded with a smile: "That's right, and I will organize the villagers to work together as soon as possible, go all out, race against time, and strive to complete the seedling cultivation task in the most suitable time period. In this way, when the third quarter comes, we will be able to use a new batch of carefully cultivated high-quality grain seeds smoothly."

Hearing this, Jiang Feng couldn't help but feel puzzled and asked, "Then how should we deal with the second season? From what I see, the existing grain seeds in the barn may only be able to meet the needs of our village itself."

Jiang Xue smiled confidently and replied, "I'm ready. I'll occupy the new factory over there to store and cultivate the second season's grain seeds." She paused, as if she remembered something, and continued, "Oh, by the way, go to the surrounding villages in the next few days and ask them to make some racks and send them to our village. The racks look the same as the barns."

Jiang Feng nodded repeatedly, and then said: "Okay, no problem, then I will go over to convey the message in the afternoon."

Finally, Jiang Xue reminded: "As for the price, let's set it at thirty cents per shelf! This will also allow everyone to earn some pocket money." Jiang Feng nodded again and said nothing more.

Jiang Xue raised her lips slightly, revealing a faint smile, and replied softly: "Everything has been arranged. I plan to temporarily use the brand new factory next to the factory park to properly accommodate and carefully cultivate the second season's grain seeds."

After a short pause, she seemed to be thinking about something, as if she suddenly remembered something important, and then continued: "Oh, by the way! Please go to the nearby villages in the next few days and ask the villagers there to make some shelves and deliver them to our village. The shape of these shelves must be consistent with the barn."

Jiang Feng nodded repeatedly upon hearing this, and then responded: "Okay, then I will go and inform them this afternoon."

"Remember to tell them that each shelf costs thirty cents so that everyone can make some money. By the way, notify the headmen of each village to come to Jiangjia Village tomorrow." Jiang Xue added that she was very thoughtful and not only solved the needs of the village, but also allowed the surrounding villagers to have extra income.

Weishi Lijia Village

When he arrived at the entrance of Lijia Village, Jiang Feng saw several villagers gathered together chatting.

He walked forward and greeted them with a smile: "Uncles and aunts! Is the village head here? I have something I want to discuss with the village head."

When the villagers saw that it was Jiang Feng, they responded enthusiastically: "Isn't this Jiang Feng from the next village? The head of the village just went home. Tell us what you want to say. We are listening."

"Season Two, what season Two?" Li Qiang was the first to break the silence. He widened his eyes, obviously shocked and puzzled by the concept of "second season of rice".

Jiang Feng patiently explained: "Brother Li Qiang, what I mean by 'second crop of rice' is a method of planting a second crop of rice on the same piece of land within a year. In this way, we can increase rice production and improve land utilization."

The villagers began to talk about it, and some expressed doubt: "Can we really grow two crops of rice? This sounds incredible."

"Yes, we have never tried this planting method. What if it fails?" someone else said worriedly.

Jiang Feng understood the villagers' concerns. He further explained: "Our village will harvest the first season tomorrow, and experiments have proved that this planting method is feasible. Moreover, if we succeed in planting, it will not only increase our food production, but also provide more food sources for surrounding villages."

Jiang Feng realized his slip of the tongue and immediately corrected himself: "I'm very sorry, my previous statement was indeed inaccurate. We are actually trying to grow three crops of rice, which is a considerable challenge. This means that on the same piece of land, we will try our best to grow three crops of rice and strive to harvest rice three times a year, thereby greatly increasing our food production."

After hearing this proposal, the villagers showed shock and disbelief on their faces. They exchanged glances with each other, as if to confirm whether they had heard it wrongly.

"Three seasons of rice? How is that possible?" a villager asked in surprise.

Jiang Feng understood the villagers' concerns. He took a deep breath and continued, "I know this proposal sounds shocking, but I have good news to tell you. The first crop of rice in our village can be harvested tomorrow, which means we have enough time and resources to try to grow three crops of rice." At this point, Jiang Feng looked a little proud.
