The moon falling to the ground

In the end, the tenants in Yangzhuang, like those in Yuzhuang, did not dare to take the risk of growing winter wheat and all signed contracts as long-term laborers.

Jian Yue promised to give each of them 500 kilograms of food and the same treatment as in Yuzhuang.

These 500 kilograms of grain were free. The farmhands' favorable impression of their new employer increased rapidly.

After walking around the two hundred acres of land, Jian Yue immediately asked Yuan Shi to notify Liu Da and ask him to lend the new agricultural tools to Yang Zhuang first.

The winter wheat in Yuzhuang was one inch tall and growing well. The people in the village were very surprised and excited. They were even more motivated to make fertilizer. So after the autumn harvest, they made another batch of fertilizer, which was just right for the land in Yangzhuang.

With the help of new farm tools and oxen, and the help of the farmhands from Yuzhuang, the two hundred acres of land were plowed in just five days.

Then, sowing and fertilizing will be faster. There are special plows for sowing and special plows for fertilizing, which are very useful.

The farmhands in Yangzhuang were really amazed to learn that farming could be done this way.

In the past, a family of 10 mu of land would take half a month or even a month to work hard. But now, even if there are 20 mu of land, two people and a cow can do it as if it were a piece of cake. The work efficiency is so high.

The farmhands in Yangzhuang looked at these new farm tools with shining eyes.

Jian Yue found it funny and promised to customize a batch of farm tools for them. Only then did the farm workers stop looking at the farm tools.

Experimental fields were left in both Yuzhuang and Yangzhuang, and Jian Yue asked the farmhands to take good care of them.

After the autumn planting, Yangzhuang also joined the ranks of fertilizer production. Liu Da brought a few people to teach and guide. The fertilizers made were used as topdressing in the spring before the New Year. The farmhands were very enthusiastic because they all wanted to know how much difference there was between the crops that used the new fertilizer and the crops that used it before.

Shilixiang Winery’s Yanlingchun and fruit wines are in short supply.

Jian Yue then made a batch of hawthorn wine, bayberry wine, pear wine, and green fruit wine. Green fruit is a fruit like apple, but with green skin and is more sour. It is not as sweet as the red one in later generations.

After the shopkeeper sent the glutinous sorghum, Jian Yue brewed another batch of sorghum wine. The shopkeeper also told Jian Yue that the person who bought the sorghum brought back a batch of seeds from the south, and his master had already sent people to plant them.

Jian Yue asked the storekeeper to tell him to plant some barley, which is the main raw material for beer. If they planted it this year, they would be able to drink beer next summer.

No matter what Jian Yue said, the shopkeeper smiled and agreed. Finally, the shopkeeper begged: "Miss Jian, my master also learned from you to grow crops in autumn. I heard that you made fertilizer for fertile land. I wonder if you can sell some to us."

Jian Yue said without thinking: "Why don't I give you a prescription!"

The shopkeeper was startled and shook his hands: "No, no, Miss Jian, please don't misunderstand, we have no intention of coveting your prescription."

Jian Yue was amused by his big reaction: "The shopkeeper must have misunderstood, right? This kind of recipe shouldn't be kept secret, it should be made known to more people. Only in this way can grain production increase, and people won't starve in years of famine."

The shopkeeper was full of admiration and bowed to Jian Yue: "Miss Jian is righteous. If Miss Jian sold a recipe like this that benefits the country and the people to any aristocratic family, she would get more wealth than she can spend in her lifetime. But Miss Jian didn't do that. Instead, she was willing to spread it out. It's really admirable."

Jian Yue hehe.

Could she not know that she could get money by selling it? She was just afraid that she would not get much money if she sold it to a minor official, and she would get the money but not spend it if she sold it to a senior official or a noble. And it was just right to give it to the master behind the shopkeeper. Wasn't he a prince? The prince could directly reach the emperor. If he was willing, they could have a long-term cooperation in the future. If not, she would have to think twice.

Jian Yue decisively wrote down the recipe for making fertilizer and gave it to Manager Bu. She gave Manager Bu a recipe for an organic fertilizer made from decomposed animal and plant waste in nature.

In the future, she will also introduce nitrogen fertilizer, phosphorus fertilizer, potassium fertilizer, etc. But these all require time and equipment. Don't worry, try organic fertilizer first.

After Ji Yunzhong got the fertilizer recipe, he looked at the beautiful small words on the paper and suddenly smiled.

It is really not to be underestimated that a country girl has such a delicate mind.

He told the shopkeeper: "Let the people in the farm do it immediately, and borrow a few experienced people from Jian Yue to guide her. When the results come out, I will take credit for her."

Wen's tavern.

Even the shopkeeper was keenly aware that none of the old drunkards who often came to the Wen family's wine shop to get wine had disappeared. In the past, these drunkards would come every two days at most. They were so dependent on Yumai wine that they could not live without it. But now, the most famous drunkards seemed to have not shown up for a month.

The shopkeeper took a quick look at the accounts and was shocked to find that the income in September had dropped by half.

He was just about to call his waiter over to ask what was going on when he suddenly heard a noise outside the shop.

"Bah! After drinking the fragrant Yanlingchun, I realized how bad the Yumai wine from the Wen family wine shop is."

"That's right. The wine is diluted with water, the weight is short, and the price is too high. What a shady and unscrupulous businessman."

The words "evil-hearted businessman" made the shopkeeper Lian look unhappy.

The Wen family had a famous wine brewing master named Wen Jiu, and the Yumai wine had always been the best in Nanchang State, with a reputation that was unrivaled. But if the rumors of "short weight and water in the wine" were spread today, I'm afraid he would be dead soon.

Lian the shopkeeper didn't care about anything else and walked out angrily. He wanted to see who dared to spread rumors about the Wen family's wine shop. If he didn't want his tongue anymore, he would just pull it out.

"I heard that the first and second grade Yanlingchun from Shilixiang Winery is even better, much better than Gongjiu. Wow, it would be so delicious if I could have a sip of it."

"Alas! Yan Lingchun produces too little. If it can be mass-produced, what use would the Wen Family Wine Shop have! The wine of Shilixiang Wine Shop is not only mellow and not adulterated, but also given in full weight, unlike the Wen Family Wine Shop..."

The Wen family wine shop was crowded as usual, but the number of people buying wine was reduced by half, and most of them came to watch the fun and chat with others.

Compared with Yanlingchun, Yumaijiu was devalued.

What the hell is this? It's not the time when I begged him to buy wine through the back door, fawned over him, and fawned on him.

Lian the shopkeeper was so angry that he yelled at the people outside: "Anyone who dares to slander the Wen Family Tavern will be arrested and brought to justice. If you deliberately slander the reputation of the Wen Family Tavern, you will be bankrupted."

Wow!

Many gossiping drinkers were scared away. They were just upset because they spent a lot of money at the Wen Family Wine Shop but didn't get to drink wine of equivalent value. They just said a few dirty words, but how could they demand compensation?

I’m leaving, I’m leaving. If you can’t afford to offend me, can’t you just hide away?

However, there are also some stubborn people who stick their necks out...
