The Reborn Lady is Farming

Mu Yangling's Harvest Grain Shop has now become the largest grain shop in Daqi. It has the most complete, best and latest grain varieties in Daqi, as well as the largest grain storage and transaction volume. It's all based on experimental farms.

   Only seeds that have been repeatedly tested by experimental farms can be put into the market and sold to the court and farmers.

   And she has experimental farms in Lingnan, Guangdong, Jiangnan, Beidi, and even Qiongzhou, but these farms are not as big and important as Chenggu Village.

  Because the development of seed experiments and planting technology started from this farm, Mu Yangling’s annual investment in this experimental farm is also the largest.

The grain shop is one of the three major industries of the palace. Although its profitability is not comparable to that of the glass workshop and the watch workshop, its annual profit is more than three times that of the two workshops combined. There is no way, who makes Daqi a vast territory , it has a large population, and it is also a big agricultural country, and now eight out of ten farmers use the seeds from the harvest grain shop.

The farmers who owe their seeds to Fengshou Grain Shop will eventually sell their grain to them. In addition, the grain price of their grain shop has always been fair, and they receive a lot of grain. Because of the good reputation of their grain shop, the price of the grain is the same. Under these circumstances, most of the people are willing to go to their grain shop to buy grain.

   As the largest grain shop in Daqi, Fengshou Grain Shop can not only bring huge profits to the palace, but also play a role in adjusting the price of grain in the world.

In the past few years, the weather was good, and the grain was harvested. Many grain shops have lowered their prices to purchase grain, but only the grain price of the harvest grain shop has dropped by less than five cents per stone, forcing other grain shops to buy at normal prices. In recent years, natural disasters have occurred frequently in various places. Although no major disasters have been caused, local disasters are still inevitable. According to past experience, food prices in these places will definitely rise sharply. Rich, at least you can make a lot of money.

   The harvest of grain is spread all over Daqi. Even if there is a disaster, the price of grain will not rise by five cents per stone.

   And the Harvest Grain Shop has a lot of grain and a deep background. They are not afraid that they will unite against each other.

  Because of these things, the Ministry of Household officials can squeeze out a smile every time they see Qi Haoran.

   As the backup base of the grain store, Mu Yangling naturally attached great importance to it. The second thing he came back this time was to inspect it.

  The experimental farm is not big, only about 200 acres. It is divided into experimental fields. There are all kinds of crops, some vigorous and some plants that seem to dry up in the next moment. Many long-term workers are walking in the fields.

  Liu Ting is the person in charge of the experimental farm. He followed Mu Yangling to introduce the various crops in the farm and their recent main research directions.

  Chen Sanzhu and Xu Jian, who followed Mu Yangling in the early years, also ran over and bowed to Mu Yangling excitedly.

   One of them used to be a refugee, and the other was a day laborer who had to run away due to debts, but now they are rich.

   Qi Haoran frowned slightly when he saw it. Although he knew that the two had no other intentions, it still made him very unhappy.

  Qi Haoran stepped forward to block their vision, pointed at the crops beside him and asked, "What is this, why does it look like grass?"

  Liu Ting smiled and said, "Your Highness has good eyesight, this is grass."

   Qi Haoran: "..."

   Mu Yangling laughed out loud and asked, "Is this the pasture you planted?"

"Yes, didn't you write to me to pay more attention to some pastures. The north of Hanzhong was occupied by the Jin people. Although the Jin people have retreated now, the grazing habit cannot be changed for a while, but using farmland for grazing is too wasteful. So I wanted to try to see if I could grow fast-growing pasture that cattle and sheep like to eat and grow without picking the ground, but I have been doing it for two years with little success."

   Mu Yangling encouraged him: "As long as you persist, there will always be results. If it doesn't work, ask the herdsmen. They always graze in the south and north, and they know more about this than us."

  Liu Ting nodded and took them to the experimental fields of rice and wheat. As the staple food, these two seeds are still the focus of their research.

   Mu Yangling saw two people wearing official uniforms in the middle of the test field from a distance, and asked curiously, "Who are they?"

"They are the two adults from Sinong Temple. These two adults have been living in the farm for almost six months. They said that they want to learn how to cultivate new species with us." Liu Ting said this, his face was a little helpless. , "But they are also very good. They have designed two kinds of agricultural tools that are very useful..."

  The two adults also saw the group of people here, and at the same time guessed the identities of the two people surrounded by them. The two hesitated for a while, and finally they just bowed their hands and left.

   Qi Haoran raised his eyebrows, his impression of them was much better.

   Afterwards, he said to Mu Yangling: "Although these farmers can't drill camps, they are rarely cute."

"That's because their minds are pure," Mu Yangling sighed: "How many people do you think there are like this? My farm has always been far better than the experimental field of Sinong Temple, but there are some who can put down their bodies and go to the farm to study. How many? After all, they still despise farmers from mud-legged roots."

"Uncle Liu Biao has made great contributions to farming over the years, so you never thought of asking for a half-official position for him?" Qi Haoran took the opportunity to suggest, "Why don't you take this opportunity to promote the cooperation between Sinong Temple and Tianzhuang, Sinong Temple? Although the performance of your farm has not been able to catch up with your farm, but they are full of agricultural books after all, and they have advantages compared to Liu Biao and the others, if the two sides cooperate, the agricultural development will only be faster in the future."

   Qi Haoran saw Mu Yangling's heart and said, "If you agree, I will help Uncle Liu and the others to find some official positions, and only at Sinong Temple. They have official positions, so you don't have to worry about them being bullied."

It's not that Mu Yangling never thought of asking Liu Ting for an official position, because in terms of his contribution to agriculture, it is not difficult for the emperor to give him an official position, but becoming an official means entering the Sinong Temple, and he is not a serious imperial examination. From his background, he has not even read the most basic four books, and he will definitely be bullied after entering, not to mention that his team is all illiterate farmers.

   Scholars have always been arrogant and arrogant, so Mu Yangling never thought of applying for official positions for them. In her opinion, their own research can also achieve results, and they are still free.

  Qi Haoran continued his efforts: "Scholars, farmers and businessmen, and above them there is an official, A Ling. Being an official means honoring the ancestors. If you are undecided, you might as well ask Uncle Biao's meaning."

  Liu Ting widened his eyes in astonishment and stammered: "This, this, can you still be an official in farming?"

   Mu Yangling smiled and said, "Sinong Temple studies farming. Who can compare to you when it comes to farming?"

  Liu Ting swallowed nervously and asked hesitantly, "A-Ling, don't you use the power of the princess to ask me for an official position? We can't do such a thing, we will be stabbed in the spine."
