Space Farming: Traveling through Ancient Times to Do Business

After hearing this, the villagers became more determined to support this cooperation. They knew that with the efforts of Jiang Xue and Feng Gongzi, this cooperation would definitely bring greater development and changes to the village.

So, under Jiang Xue's command, the villagers once again devoted themselves to the busy harvesting work.

They swung their sickles faster and carried the rice more steadily.

"1266 kilograms?" When more than a dozen village heads heard the per-acre yield figure reported by Jiang Xue, they were so shocked that they could hardly believe their ears. This figure far exceeded their previous experience and imagination, representing an unprecedented high yield level.

They no longer hesitated and came forward one after another, wanting to discuss cooperation with Jiang Xue.

"Ms. Jiang Xue, our village also wants to introduce this rice planting technology!" a village head said anxiously.

"We are willing to cooperate with you. Please be sure to visit our village!" another village head also said eagerly.

Jiang Xue looked at these enthusiastic village heads with a smile. She knew that her planting techniques and experience had been recognized by everyone.

She nodded and said, "Village heads, I am very happy that you are interested in our rice. I do intend to promote the planting technology to more villages, but before that, we need to discuss the specific details of the cooperation."

"Of course, of course!" The village heads all expressed their agreement.

Jiang Xue continued: "First, I will personally visit your village to inspect the soil and climate conditions of the terraced fields to ensure that this rice is suitable for local cultivation. Second, I will provide guidance and training on planting techniques to ensure that you can plant and manage the rice correctly."

The village heads all nodded in agreement and expressed their willingness to cooperate with Jiang Xue's work. They knew that this was a rare opportunity for their villages to also enjoy the benefits of high-yield rice.

The ten village heads who received satisfactory responses couldn't wait to tell the villagers the good news, so they left one after another. However, the remaining two or three village heads stood aside hesitantly, seeming to have some concerns.

Jiang Xue noticed this situation and walked forward curiously and asked, "Do you have any questions?"

The head of Wangjia Village frowned and replied, "Our village is next to Taohua Village, and the basic situation is similar to Taohua Village. But the main difficulty is that most of the land in our Wangjia Village is sandy and not suitable for growing rice. We want to know if there are any other crops suitable for growing on such land?"

"Growing in sandy land does have its own particularities," Jiang Xue said with a smile, "but don't worry, there are also crops suitable for growing in sandy land."

She explained: "First, we can consider planting crops that are drought-tolerant and adapted to sandy environments, such as corn, peanuts, sweet potatoes, etc. These crops can also grow well in sandy soil and have high economic value."

"Secondly, May is the right time to plant these crops. We can choose varieties suitable for growing in sandy land and combine them with water-saving irrigation technology and organic fertilizer input to improve crop yield and quality."

After hearing this, the head of Wangjia Village had a glimmer of relief in his eyes. He looked at Jiang Xue gratefully, but then revealed a confused expression: "Corn? I have never heard of this crop."

Jiang Xue's mind moved, and she realized that corn had not yet been introduced for cultivation in this era. She thought quickly and decided to use the resources in her space to help Wangjia Village. She smiled and said to the head of the village: "Corn is a very good food crop. It is drought-resistant and adaptable to sandy environments. It has high yields and rich nutrition. Although we don't grow it here now, I can find a way to introduce this crop."

The village head was surprised and curious after hearing this. He quickly asked, "Miss Jiang Xue, do you really have a way to introduce this crop called corn?"

Jiang Xue nodded and said affirmatively: "Yes, I can buy corn seeds from other places and teach you how to plant and manage them. I believe that as long as we work together, the sandy land in Wangjia Village can also grow a good harvest of corn."

"Moreover, corn can be eaten in a variety of ways, such as boiling, steaming, roasting, and frying. It can be used as a staple food, a side dish, or a snack. Whether it is the elderly, children, or young people, everyone can enjoy the deliciousness and health brought by corn," Jiang Xue added.

The village head was very excited after hearing this. He held Jiang Xue's hand tightly and said gratefully: "Miss Jiang Xue, you are really the savior of our Wangjia Village! We will definitely cooperate with your work to make corn take root and sprout here."

Jiang Xue smiled and responded: "You're welcome. It's only natural for us to help each other. I will arrange to buy corn seeds as soon as possible and go to Wangjia Village for on-site guidance and training. I believe that in the near future, there will be a golden corn field on the sandy land of Wangjia Village."

"Excuse me, what is the yield of corn per mu?" asked Li Zheng Wang, obviously very concerned about the corn yield.

Jiang Xue smiled and replied: "The yield of corn per mu is affected by many factors, such as soil fertility, climate conditions, corn varieties selected and planting techniques. Under normal conditions, the yield of corn per mu is generally between 500 and 800 kilograms. However, if the soil is fertile, the climate is suitable, the variety is good and the management is proper, the yield per mu can even reach more than 1000 kilograms."

She further explained: "Although the planting conditions in Wangjia Village's sandy land are relatively special, as long as we choose corn varieties suitable for growing in sandy land and adopt appropriate planting techniques and management measures, we can also achieve high yields. I will introduce some high-yield corn varieties suitable for sandy land, and personally go to Wangjia Village for on-site guidance and training to ensure that everyone can master the correct planting methods."

After hearing this, Wang Lizheng's eyes sparkled with expectation and trust. He nodded repeatedly to express his gratitude and promised to fully cooperate with Jiang Xue's work and work together to achieve high corn yields.

Seeing that Li Zheng Wang had no more questions, Jiang Xue turned to the other two Li Zhengs and asked with a smile, "Do you have any other questions?"

One of them, Chen Lizheng from Chenjia Village, hesitated for a moment, then sighed and said, "Miss Jiang, my last name is Chen, and I am the Lizheng of Chenjia Village. The situation in our village is a bit special. There is no sandy land or fertile fields. There are only some barren lands, and there are also some gravels in the land."

Jiang Xue frowned slightly when she heard this, but she did not show any surprise or impatience. She looked at Chen Lizheng carefully, noticing the helplessness and expectation in his eyes.
