After rebirth, I became a national teacher
Chapter 596
"Then let's start arranging this matter!"
Chen Qingzhu made the decision immediately.
Therefore, there was no rush to leave the Japanese pirates' village.
She summoned the newly appointed village head and asked him in detail about the time and method of planting the sweet potatoes.
I learned that sweet potatoes are usually planted in April and May and harvested before November.
The planting method is to first grow seedlings with rhizomes, and then cut the sweet potato vines and plant them in the ground.
Chen Qingzhu made a calculation and frowned slightly:
"So, if we want to harvest this year, we have to hurry up and plant."
"Reply to God, that's exactly it."
The head there said respectfully.
Rong Niang was a little anxious:
"Mother, we must quickly bring back enough sweet potato seeds and ask the people to plant them immediately."
When she thought about the fact that the people would have a bumper harvest from sweet potatoes and would no longer suffer from hunger, she didn't want to waste this year at all.
Although Chen Qingzhu was also very happy to obtain this high-yield grain variety, she had seen farming and had planted many spiritual plants herself. She knew that it was not easy to promote a new crop, so she raised her hand slightly, signaling Rong Niang to be patient.
"Mother?"
Rongniang looked at her in confusion.
Chen Qingzhu thought for a moment and said patiently:
"Rong Niang, if you hadn't come to Dongfan Island, Emperor Yong'an would give you some fruits you've never seen before, saying that they can produce over a thousand kilograms per mu, and asked you to take them to a prefecture under your jurisdiction and plant them on all the land. Would you be willing?"
Rong Niang was startled:
"...unwilling."
So, similarly, the people might not be willing to use their precious land to grow food that they are completely unfamiliar with.
Chen Qingzhu said again:
"Even if you are willing to plant, but you have never planted before, do you know how to grow sweet potatoes? How deep should they be buried? Do they need to be watered? How big should they grow before they can be planted? What is the planting density and depth? How is the soil tightness? How can you ensure survival? How can you ensure fruiting?"
This series of questions completely confused Rong Niang.
She had never farmed before and knew nothing about this.
Think about the people under his rule. They are also unable to master how to grow sweet potatoes with just a few words.
If we just plant them randomly and fail to produce a good harvest of sweet potatoes, will people still be willing to plant them next season?
Only then did Rong Niang understand why her mother told her not to worry.
To successfully promote their products, they need to prepare more than just seeds.
She thought for a while and began to offer her suggestions:
"Mother, can we first bring some people who are good at farming back to our jurisdiction and have them teach the people how to plant crops in each village?"
Chen Qingzhu nodded approvingly.
"of course can."
The two discussed it again, and then Chen Qingzhu used a communication talisman to contact Huiyun, asking her to ask Zheng Yuannai for people and to pick up a group of people who were good at growing sweet potatoes.
It takes time.
At the speed of an ordinary person, it might take about ten days to reach Dongfan Island.
During this period, Chen Qingzhu was not idle either.
She first returned to the area she had already cleared and took away all the sweet potatoes.
She also told the people that anyone who was willing to go to her jurisdiction to serve as an envoy to the Ministry of Agriculture and guide other villagers in growing sweet potatoes would not only receive 700 coins of silver per month, which would provide them with food, clothing and shelter, but would also be given the status of an official.
It doesn't matter if you are a man or a woman, as long as you can master the essentials of growing sweet potatoes.
Most of these captured people were villagers.
Naturally, one would yearn for the opportunity to work in a government office and have food and accommodation provided.
Regardless of gender, anyone who has grown sweet potatoes is actively striving to become an envoy of the Ministry of Agriculture.
Chen Qingzhu ordered the village head to select experienced ones and gather 2,000 people from several villages. She then ordered all the agricultural envoys to assemble and head to the northern part of Dongfan Island, waiting for her army to come and support them, and then continue to sweep the northern part of Dongfan Island.
In just ten days, she not only wiped out all the Japanese pirate forces, seized more than a dozen treasures in the form of talismans, but also destroyed two fortresses of the Golden Haired Barbarians.
