Space Farming: Traveling through Ancient Times to Do Business

According to what we have learned now, usually three kilograms of grain seeds can be used to plant one acre of land.

But in this era, the imperial court only gave two catties of grain seeds per mu, which was obviously not enough! If we calculate based on 1,200 mu, we would need about 3,600 catties, not including the terraced fields next to it, which was definitely far from enough.

There are only 127 kilograms of seedlings for cultivation, plus the rice seeds in Jiang Xue's hands. The rice seeds rewarded by the system have a high germination rate, and almost one kilogram can be used to plant one acre. The reward issued by the system is a bag of ten kilograms, which is enough to plant ten acres. From the beginning of the task to now, only 1270 bags have been received, which is enough to plant almost 800 acres. The villagers can plant acres with what they have.

Jiang Xue took the burnt firewood stick and counted on the ground. She found that there were still many acres left. She was very happy and immediately stood up to ask her eldest brother to accompany her to the barn. Then she realized that she had sent her eldest and second brothers to deliver seedlings. She patted her head speechlessly.

Jiang Chen watched Jiang Xue holding a fire poker and drawing symbols on the ground that he couldn't understand. He was a little confused, but seeing how serious she was, he didn't disturb her.

"Hey, Achen." Jiang Xue had a headache. Although this young man was good-looking, he followed her every day, causing those aunts to laugh at her all the time. She had no words to express her pain and didn't know how to explain it.

Jiang Chen nodded, looked at Jiang Xue, and asked, "Xue'er, what's wrong?"

"It's okay." Jiang Xue shook her head, stood up and prepared to go to the barn. Seeing her going out, Jiang Chen picked up the kettle beside her and immediately followed her.

"Uncle Yan." Jiang Xue greeted Jiang Songyan who was watching the barn, pushed open the barn door, and walked in. Jiang Feng and Jiang Qian had used the cart to deliver several times, and now they had put all the grain seeds in the barn.

Jiang Xue looked at the condition of the rice seedlings in front of her and saw that they were growing very well.

It was previously thought that the roof of the barn was sealed at the beginning. She forgot about the problem of sunlight at first, which led to the unsatisfactory germination of the grains. Fortunately, she discovered it early. Finally, based on the suggestion of the system, she redesigned the roof of the barn and covered it with straw. During the day, she could open it by pulling ropes on both sides, and at night, she could pull it back to its original position by pulling ropes inside the barn.

"We can plant rice the day after tomorrow!" Jiang Xue said happily to several elders who had just come in.

When several elders saw the granary full of grain seedlings, they were so excited that they could hardly speak. "I remember there wasn't so much grain before. Was this given by the masters?" asked the first elder, Jiang Zhiwang.

Jiang Xue nodded and said, "I roughly calculated how many acres I need to plant, and then figured out that there are about 80 acres of extra grain seeds."

"There are so many more? Where are the seeds given by the immortal? What should we do with the remaining eighty acres of grain seeds?" Jiang Zhilei, an elder of the second clan, couldn't help asking.

Jiang Xue thought for a moment and replied, "Just plant it in the area that has been cleared, and plant the rest on the top of the terraces. Let some people clear the rest, and plant as much as they can.

"You elders, just discuss it with me." After hearing this, several elders nodded in agreement. "We are old, you can do whatever you want. Do whatever you want. If someone makes trouble in the village, tell us and we will expel him from the tribe."

In the past few days, several elders have seen Jiang Xue's efforts, and they decided to support Jiang Xue unconditionally. Food is so important that we can't let anyone mess with it.

Jiang Xue felt very lucky to have met this group of people. From her grandfather's unconditional trust, to the support of the elders, and the villagers who were initially skeptical, they all chose to believe in her unconditionally in the end.

"Elders, rest assured that I will lead our people to a better life." Jiang Xue looked at the elders firmly, and she swore in her heart that she would lead her people to a better life.

Two days later, the ancestral temple

The people who were digging yams stopped, and more than a thousand people worked hard on the farm. Nearly two thousand acres of terraced fields were all cultivated. In the meantime, they even rented seven cows from the next village. After discussion, it was decided that all the money would be paid by the clan.

"Everyone should already know the content of today's clan meeting!" Jiang Xue stood up and said when she saw that everyone below was discussing it.

"The grain seeds have all reached the planting requirements. You will all go to the grain seeds and move the seedlings. Everyone go home and bring your carts. By the way, ask your family to go to the terraced fields. Although I mentioned transplanting rice before, you may not know the method of transplanting rice. I will personally direct you later." Jiang Xue continued.

"Children over the age of eight can go to the fields, as long as the adults around them pay attention to safety," Jiang Xue added.

After talking about the precautions and safety issues, Jiang Xue took the Jiang family to the barn.

The clan meeting had already ended. Jiang Feng and Jiang Tiao were responsible for distributing the seedlings, while Jiang An and Jiang Quan, the youngest son of the first clan elder, were responsible for moving the seedlings from the inner room of the barn to the door.

The villagers who went home brought their own carts and called on the old and young in the family. The young and strong men were responsible for transporting the seedlings.

As soon as Jiang Xue arrived at the terraced fields, she was surrounded by a crowd of people. Everyone had been told by their families on the way here that this time it would be the third girl from the Jiang family who would teach how to plant seedlings.

At this time, Jiang Xue was surrounded by a circle of women and children, so densely packed that it was almost impossible to see inside. All she could hear was the voice of guidance coming from inside.

"The spacing between the seedlings is about two fists wide, and the seedlings should not be inserted too deep into the soil. As long as the seedlings stand firmly in the paddy field, it will be fine."

"When planting the seedlings in the field, they must be inserted straight into the field, not at an angle. This is the only way to ensure that the seedlings in the field do not fall to one side or the other," Jiang Xue continued.

Those who have learned have already started to plant rice in the fields, while those who don’t know how to do it continue to watch Jiang Xue teach. Some who have already learned have started to teach those who haven’t, and soon everyone has basically learned it.

Everyone was actively competing with each other, and various rice planting competitions were held in the middle. The desire to win led to more and more people participating, including people in their sixties and seventies and children in their eights and nines.

seven days later

All the fields were gradually finished yesterday afternoon.

Last night the system kept reminding that time was running out for the shop tasks, so Jiang Xue started arranging for Jiang Chen and Jiang Wang to fry vegetarian meatballs and make tofu at home while having dinner last night.

Before dawn, Jiang Xue was preparing to take Jiang Feng and Jiang Tiao to the town to purchase pork according to the plan from last night. However, before she could go out, she was stopped by Jiang Chen. After hesitating for a moment, Jiang Xue took Jiang Chen with her.

Two hours later, Yunwu Town

After waiting for another nine days, Feng Qingyu could no longer hold back and planned to use the secret guards. However, he was afraid that the master behind the girl would be angry, so he was in a dilemma.

"Here she comes! Here she comes! The shopkeeper's girl is here!" The guy who had been waiting at the station for a long time shouted to the shopkeeper anxiously.

Hearing the sound, Feng Qingyu also stood up and walked to the door of the inner room.

"You arrange for someone to stay in the private room of Fenglou. I'll go there to wait for you." Feng Qingyu ordered with his back to the person behind him.

After hearing the order, Shopkeeper Wang immediately went out and searched the street for a long time before finally meeting Jiang Xue and others on the street where the trouble was happening.

"Girl, wait a moment," Shopkeeper Wang shouted in the crowd.

Jiang Xue seemed to hear someone calling her "girl" and felt the voice was somewhat familiar. She thought it was definitely not someone looking for her. She was just a little peasant girl from a farm, so who would look for her? So she ignored it.

Today is the big market, which is held every ten days. There are so many people going to the market, it is crowded.

Shopkeeper Wang, who was chasing after her, was extremely anxious and didn't dare to stop for fear of losing her. After chasing for half a street, he finally caught up with Jiang Xue in a pork shop.

"Girl, wait a moment," said Shopkeeper Wang, who was already extremely tired and began to breathe heavily.

Jiang Xue was a little confused, as if someone was calling her, and the voice was familiar. After hesitating, she turned around and looked behind her. She saw Shopkeeper Wang, who was not far from her, leaning against the wall and panting. She walked over curiously.

"Are you calling me, Mr. Wang?"

After taking a few deep breaths, Shopkeeper Wang immediately said, "Yes, I am looking for a girl."

"What do you want me to do?" Jiang Xue was a little curious. After a moment's thought, could it be that all her rice was sold out and he still wanted some? She had stockpiled a lot of it these days.

"Shopkeeper Wang wants to buy rice."

Shopkeeper Wang nodded and said, "Miss, please excuse me for a moment."

Hearing this, Jiang Xue nodded and called the three people nearby.

Yunwu Town Fenglou Second Floor Private Room

Fenglou is an inn opened by the Feng family across the country, mainly providing catering and accommodation.

Feng Qingyu had been waiting for a long time, but no one came. He was just about to arrange for a secret guard to go and check, when he heard the secret guard's voice saying that someone had arrived at the door.

Pushing open the door, Shopkeeper Wang brought in a girl who was wearing washed blue cotton clothes, had a delicate appearance, and a pair of particularly bright eyes. Her face was still a little childish, so she should not be very old.

Feng Qingyu was a little surprised to see that the girl that Shopkeeper Wang was talking about was so young.

"Second Master, this is the girl who sells grain," Shopkeeper Wang introduced.

"Miss, this is our second master, the legitimate son of the Feng family in Kyoto," Shopkeeper Wang continued.

After arranging the Jiang family members to sit at the table, Feng Qingyu couldn't wait to speak.

"Miss, do you have any food left? How much do you have? I'll pay a high price for all of it."

Jiang Xue looked at Feng Qingyu without saying anything.

Her smooth, fair face was angular and stern; her thick eyebrows were rebelliously raised slightly upwards; under her long, slightly curled eyelashes, her icy eyes were dark and deep, making her look wild, unruly, evil and sexy. She was wearing a moon-white brocade robe with a silver pattern on the neck, and large lotus patterns were faintly visible on the white robe.

His appearance is different from Jiang Chen's, and she prefers Jiang Chen's. Thinking of this, she was stunned. Why did she make a comparison? Seeing Jiang Xue in a daze, Feng Qingyu coughed and said, "Girl, what's wrong with you?"

Feng Qingyu frowned. He knew that he was good-looking and many women in the capital were fond of him. But the expression of the girl in front of him made him think that she was just like the other women in the capital. When he thought of this, he actually felt uncomfortable.

"Well, say it again." Jiang Xue took the tea handed to her by Jiang Chen and took a sip.

"Girl, do you have any food left? I want all of it, at a high price."

Feng Qingyu frowned and repeated it. Jiang Xue looked at him with a smile: "I wonder what price you will offer?"

Feng Qingyu paused: "Are there any other bidders?"

Jiang Xue smiled without saying anything.

At this time, Feng Qingyu was a little panicked, but he didn't show it. He had been in the business world for many years and had learned to stay calm. He quickly regained his composure: "Girl, make an offer!"
