Space Farming: Traveling through Ancient Times to Do Business

Jiang Diao has been confused since yesterday, and even after his elder brother explained it, he still found it hard to accept.

"Sanniu, come and sit here with grandpa." The first elder of the clan spoke.

Jiang Xue walked over with a smile. After the clan meeting started, everyone asked questions, and after the questions were answered, those who had doubts also got answers.

"I just heard from Grandpa that the paddy fields are full. I will arrange the process, and Grandpa will arrange the specific people later."

Jiang Xue continued, "Before planting rice, you have to turn the soil in the rice field over to make it softer. This process is divided into three stages: rough tillage, fine tillage, and leveling. I'll teach you how to do it in the field later."

"There are only five cows in our village. We all worked together without distinction to plant all the rice fields." The villagers had never seen this method before. In the past, they just irrigated some water and sprinkled some seeds and that was it. After hearing what Jiang Xue did, they found it novel and started discussing it.

Jiang Xue had nothing more to say, so she let the clan elder continue. After the clan elder finished speaking, Grandpa Jiang made personnel arrangements, and they were done in a short while.

Jiangjia Village Terraces

If people from other villages saw this scene at this moment, they would definitely be shocked. They saw Jiang Xue and the clan elders walking side by side in the front, followed by Old Man Jiang and all the men in Jiangjia Village, carrying farming tools and following behind.

It wasn't long before we arrived at the first terraced field at the foot of the mountain.

Jiang Xue looked at the location of the water and found that the water level was just right, so she asked her grandfather to organize a few men to prepare for plowing the fields.

As soon as Mr. Jiang made the announcement, everyone was very active and volunteered, and soon dozens of people signed up.

A few capable people were picked out, and under Jiang Xue's command, everyone rolled up their pants and went to the fields.

Soon, Jiang Feng and the villagers of Jiangjia Village came to the scene with cows. Everyone was familiar with this step, so they put on the plowing tools and started.

"When plowing the field, you can plow vertically, that is, after plowing a new row of soil, turn back counterclockwise and plow the plowed soil again, ensuring that each row of soil is plowed twice. After plowing vertically, plow it horizontally again to make the soil more uniform and flat. "Seeing that the plowing was not very good, Jiang Xue couldn't help but make a suggestion.

The person plowing the field is Jiang Dazhuang. Although he beats his wife, he is good at doing things.

"Okay," Jiang Dazhuang heard what Jiang Xue said and immediately did it according to her method. Then the other four people saw the good effect and followed the pace.

It was the first time Jiang Xue had seen plowing tools of this era. The style was a bit outdated, and it was very strenuous for both people and oxen. However, Jiang Xue couldn't find any better tools at the moment, and there was only space for one set, so it was not realistic to take them out.

The mountain that is currently being cultivated has more than 1,000 acres of terraced fields, and the mountain next to it also has 700 to 800 acres of terraced fields. There are more than 300 households in Jiangjia Village, with more than 1,000 people. Because the war has just stopped, the country encourages land reclamation and farming. In the first three years of land reclamation, you can grow grain for free. After three years, you only need to pay 30% of the harvest of that year. Of course, you can also buy the land yourself. The migrated people of Jiangjia Village have been hardworking for generations, and in less than a year, they have reclaimed thousands of acres of land.

The first field was plowed quickly. Jiang Xue found a few more people and looked at the tools they brought. Seeing that there were also spiked rakes in this era, Jiang Xue rolled up her trouser legs and went into the field to demonstrate.

"Pile up the mud on the ridge to ensure that there will be no water leakage. Secondly, use a spike rake to comb the ridge and "carve" the rake's teeth marks neatly and elegantly on the ridge." Jiang Xue said as she did it.

"The reason for doing this is to prevent water leakage in paddy fields." Jiang Xue explained again when she saw that the people in front of her were confused.

The villagers, who were used to doing farm work, learned most of it in a short time and started to paste the field ridges under Jiang Xue's guidance.

After watching for a long time, the remaining villagers of Jiangjia Village also joined in the work of plowing the fields. Those who did not have cows pulled ropes, and everyone started from the foot of the mountain one by one. Some plowed the fields, some delivered water, and took turns to rest. In a day, they completed more than 500 acres.

Yunwu Town, Wang the Shopkeeper's Backyard

"Second Master, these are the grains I collected from a girl a few days ago. I have never seen such good grains." Shopkeeper Wang happily showed off to Feng Qingyu.

Feng Qingyu walked over and grabbed some, nodded and replied: "Indeed, I have never seen food of this quality, but I don't know how it tastes."

"The rice grains are full and uniform, crystal clear, and white as jade. Just by looking at the appearance, you can tell that it is good stuff," Shopkeeper Wang continued.

Shopkeeper Wang smiled and said, "I have already arranged for the cook to make it. Please come back with me to taste it later."

The Feng family is in a very dangerous situation now. They are being hit by the Liu family, which has risen in the past two years. The Liu family has the support of Concubine Liu. Now the emperor favors Concubine Liu alone. In addition, the ministers in the court strongly recommend Concubine Liu's son as the crown prince. If it weren't for the Prime Minister and the Shangshu who stopped them and used the fact that the crown prince's life and death was unknown to stop the public, I'm afraid that the second prince Xuan Yuli would have been made the crown prince. If they can't compete with the Liu family this year and can't get the power of the imperial merchant, the Feng family will suffer a blow from the Liu family and fall from grace. Now it is difficult to move forward. Even if Concubine Feng is in the harem, she has no backing because she hasn't given birth to a prince.

half an hour later

"Second Master, follow me to the living room for dinner." Shopkeeper Wang gestured for him to come.

After smelling the rice, Feng Qingyu picked a few grains and put them into his mouth and couldn't help saying, "This is fragrant, moderately sticky, and tastes great. This is top-quality rice, several times better than the rice my father used to compete for the imperial merchant tribute, and the taste is many times better."

If you use this kind of rice to run for the position of imperial merchant, are you afraid that you won't be able to win?

Feng Qingyu was somewhat happy. Due to the frequent wars, good food was in short supply everywhere. The topic of this year's imperial merchant competition was food. During this period of time, he had been traveling to various continents looking for top-quality food. He did not expect that he had finally found it.

"How much food is there? Does the girl have any more?" Feng Qingyu asked hurriedly.

Shopkeeper Wang smiled and replied, "There are still 3900 kilograms of grain. The girl told me that this was sold by an expert. If you want more, you only need to send a message to the cattle herders in her village and they will send you grain. I don't know how much she has, but it will definitely not be less."

Feng Qingyu stood up and said, "Then you can arrange some people to look for that person tomorrow. We will take as many as you can get. As long as the other party keeps providing, the price will be raised to 300 coins per pound."

Shopkeeper Wang was a little surprised. Three hundred coins was a sky-high price. He didn't know the use of this grain, so naturally he thought it was a sky-high price. But for Feng Qingyu, this top-quality rice was his first key to open the imperial merchant's door.

When the time comes, the Feng family will use this rice to open up the market, so they won't have to worry about the Liu family. But at the moment he is not sure, he doesn't know how much there is, and he will know the result tomorrow.

Four days later, Wang's backyard

"Boss, I went to the place you mentioned, and the person in charge there told me that Old Man Jiang didn't come to town today." The waiter went there for several days in a row but didn't see him.

Feng Qingyu felt a little disappointed. He didn't know what had happened to the other party. He hadn't come to the town for several days, and he was a little worried.

"Second Master, wait a little longer! I asked someone to find out. This girl bought a lot of things a few days ago. She may not come for a while." Shopkeeper Wang saw that his master was a little anxious and hurriedly comforted him.

Nodding, Feng Qingyu walked back to the room.

Jiangjia Village Jianglizheng Courtyard

Two days ago, Jiang Yu went to the private school with his family watching him.

Jiang Xue has been planting rice these days. Two days ago, after three harvests of grapes and oranges, she had removed them and planted rice. Because there are a lot of fields in Jiangjia Village, she has been raising seedlings in recent days. Now she is counting the amount of rice. The system calculates the data and it is kilograms. Since the grape and orange fields are all planted with rice, three experimental fields are planting rice these two days.

Tomorrow she will harvest chestnuts, kiwis and oranges for the last time, and will no longer plant fruit trees. She plans to plant rice. Recently, she has moved a lot of rice seedlings to the barn, and the barn is almost full. Today's share has just been delivered by her eldest and second brothers.
