My Backyard is the Tang Dynasty

Time passed like running water, and the seedlings that Li Yin asked Xia Yan to prepare had been completed, and it was time for spring plowing at this time. After contacting Xia Yan, Li Yin was busy for several days to transport the seedlings to the warehouse, and at the same time taught him the method of planting these seedlings. Slaves, let them plant in strict accordance with the planting method.

At this time, in addition to the 20,000 mu of land in each county, Li Yin himself still has 80,000 mu of vacant land. He has to speed up, because the harvest will be affected after the season.

For this reason, Li Yin did not go to the research institute these days, but settled down and prepared to do a good job of spring plowing. In addition to his own vacant land, each county also has 20,000 mu of model fields. Many people in the field expressed their reluctance, because it is time to plant rice soon, and they are worried that doing so will affect their harvest this year.

After Shangguanyi and Li Yin talked about the situation, Li Yin thought about it, and he didn't want to force them to do anything, so he decided to take another method, which was to treat the land as if it was rented by the Shu Palace, and each mu of land The Shu Palace will subsidize each farmer according to the harvest of the year. After the news was released, the people were relieved.

The land is the life of the common people. Only then did Li Yin realize that he often took it for granted. Although he wanted to do something beneficial to the common people, rushing to achieve it would only backfire.

However, this is also good, the output on these lands belongs to the Shu Palace, and the people will believe it when they see the real harvest with their own eyes.

Of course, not all villages are skeptical. For example, Yangshu Village. Ever since Wei Tieniu saw a field of wheat, he made up his mind to believe in Li Yin. Now the model fields in the entire Longquan County come from Yangshu Village. , this is all due to Wei Tieniu's contribution.

In Nanhe Warehouse, the servants are carrying boxes of seedlings. For this spring plowing, Li Yin has mobilized almost all the servants, and even turned over the official slaves. He gathered five or six thousand people and started planting seedlings on a large scale. Li Yin The 80,000 mu of land has been planted and is now beginning to be transferred to other counties.

"Your Highness, can this potato really produce more than 20 shi per mu?" Shangguanyi, Wang Yinlong, and Dou Xiande have been busy with Li Yin these days, assisting in dispatching servants and coordinating the suitable land in various counties. Feeling more relaxed, Shangguanyi asked as he looked at the boxes of seedlings being transported away.

One stone in the Tang Dynasty is converted into about 120 catties in today's unit, and twenty stones is about 2,400 catties. Of course, what Li Yin said to Shangguanyi is to say less. The average yield of potatoes per mu in modern times is four Five thousand catties, better even tens of thousands of catties, Li Min doesn't expect the production capacity per mu here to be the same as it is now, so for Shangguanyi, it's less.

Before Li Yin could speak, Wang Yinlong joined in the fun: "And sweet potatoes are also produced in this way?"

"It's useless to tell you now, after these things are harvested, you will naturally know!" Li Yin said, no wonder they were surprised, the land crops in the Tang Dynasty were extremely low, basically one or two stones could be harvested per mu , this is still a case of fertile land and sufficient labor, otherwise it will be lower.

"Then can sugar cane and peanuts really produce sugar and oil as His Highness said?" Dou Xiande promised himself that he had read a lot of poetry and books, but he didn't understand a few things Li Yin said. It's getting harder to see through.

Li Yin shook his head, and now he couldn't explain it. After all, this was something completely unfamiliar to them, and they just had to accept it now.

Several people were talking, Wei Tieniu brought some people over, and seeing them, he walked for a while and said: "Your Highness, the seedlings in our village have been transported, and Tieniu will go back."

Li Yin said: "Remember the planting method I taught you, don't mess around, your village is the only one that doesn't pay rent, and then you will be responsible for your own profits and losses."

Wei Tieniu wiped off his sweat and said, "Don't worry, Your Highness, I won't do anything foolish. The whole village has been bet. If there is no harvest, the villagers will not eat me, Wei Tieniu."

"That's good. When you go back, remember to take good care of it. As long as you take good care of it and wait for the harvest, I guarantee that your Yangshu Village will become the richest village among the 14 counties in Yizhou City." Li Yin encouraged.

When Wei Tieniu mentioned this, he laughed foolishly, "I will fight for this!" The reason why Wei Tieniu has such a high appeal in Yangshu Village now is that he led the young men in the village to build underground pipelines in Yizhou City. Half of the labor labor in the city comes from Yangshu Village, which makes Yangshu Village really rich, and everyone has spare money. Every family praises Wei Tieniu, and now he is the Lizheng in the village, that is, the village head. The last time Li Yin took him to inspect the winter wheat, he told the villagers about it and said that there would be new crops in the spring, but the villagers didn’t say anything else. They all said they listened to Wei Tieniu, obviously they regarded him as the leader.

Watching hundreds of people pushing the carts to transport the last batch of seedlings away, Dou Xiande said: "Does your Highness still have seedlings?"

Li Yin said: "Yes, do you want it too?"

"The Dou family also has 10,000 mu of land, I want to try it, but I have to go back and discuss this matter with my grandfather, so I will ask first!" Dou Xiande said.

Li Yin pondered for a while, and said: "Yes, there are, but the seedlings need money. Even if Wei Tieniu just now has a harvest in the future, he will have to use the harvest to pay for the seedlings. You, a wealthy family, are no exception." This time the seedlings came out of Li Yin's own field, and everyone else asked for money. The opening of this free gift cannot be opened, otherwise it will become a habit, and the sudden charge that day will cause resentment.

"Of course." Dou Xiande said.

"Then what kind do you want to plant? I'd like to be prepared."

"Sugar cane and peanuts!" Dou Xiande said.

Shangguanyi and Wang Yinlong looked at each other. When they walked together just now, they discussed what to plant in their own fields, but they didn't expect this kid to coincide with their ideas.

"What about you!" Li Yin turned to Shangguanyi and Wang Yinlong, who also made up their minds to plant new crops.

Shangguanyi said: "We think the same as Sima Dou."

"You see, most of the land in the Shu Palace is planted with these two things!" Most of Li Min's 80,000 mu of land and more than 200,000 mu of land are planted with sugar cane and peanuts, and only 80,000 mu of land is planted with potatoes. and sweet potatoes, each with an area of ??40,000 mu. Of course, Li Min has his own reasons for doing so. He has the technology of sugar and oil production, which can turn sugar cane and peanuts into white sugar and edible oil, while potatoes and sweet potatoes are high-yielding. , but there are no processed products to make. In terms of economic value, of course, the price of white sugar and cooking oil is high. Li Yin couldn't stop laughing to himself.

These guys are smart.
