The whole family wears it! Roll it up together! The envy of all the rich in Beijing

After the court session, Bai Mengshang asked to see the emperor privately.

"What's the matter, Lord Bai?"

The emperor thought to himself, hasn’t he cleared his daughter’s reputation as a witch and a disaster?

That is to beg him not to send his daughter to marry.

Even if they want to go, they will think carefully about it.

If she doesn't want to, he won't force her, after all, she is not his daughter.

He is the emperor and he still has to maintain his dignity.

"Your Majesty, I have always liked to read miscellaneous books, and I have thought of a way to improve the problem of our country's soil not being able to grow crops well."

As for the corn seeds, now is not the time to talk about it.

It would be better to wait until the harvest comes after planting.

The main reason is that their family was scared.

The emperor is still relatively wise now, but in reality those powerful concubines and the queen are fighting each other to the death behind the scenes.

The fact that the crown prince was bewitched almost caused their family to commit treason. If people with bad intentions knew that their family had the food that could keep the people from starving, they would definitely become restless.

The benefits involved are so great that anyone who sees them would be jealous and want to take them for themselves.

Maybe those seeds won’t even grow.

So after their family discussed this matter, they just kept it secret from themselves for the time being.

And he planned to buy a farm and enclose it to grow crops in secret.

"Oh? This is true!"

The emperor understood what Bai Mengshang said. He was so shocked that he stood up and walked up to Bai Mengshang to ask.

"It is true, otherwise I would not dare to report to the emperor."

“How to do it?

If your daughter can really do this, I will reward her greatly!"

The emperor wants to ask for details.

But knowing that Bai Mengshang was talking to him privately now, there must be conditions.

As long as it's not excessive, he can agree to it.

We don’t want to keep asking other countries to buy food every year.

"The main reason why our country's soil is not fertile is because there are many mines."

Such as coal mines, iron ores, lime mines, etc. Therefore, the military strength of Long Kingdom is stronger than that of the other three kingdoms, but its weakness is in food.

"Yes Yes."

Seeing that Bai Mengshang was willing to speak, the emperor nodded.

"Sit down, my dear, and let Xiao Anzi bring the tea and snacks."

"promise!"

Bai Mengshang sat down without hesitation.

"My daughter found some reasons.

Those lands are suitable for growing potatoes, cotton, fruits (peanuts), etc. They just need to be distributed well to maximize benefits.

Only plant rice and wheat in places suitable for growing rice and wheat, and provide enough fertility to increase yield. My daughter has also figured out some effective methods.

This is just being tested right now.”

Bai Mengshang only said something simple that the emperor could understand.

I won’t talk about the complicated ones.

For example, how to make fertilizer in the fastest way, how to cultivate the land for two seasons, which is also a major way to increase production, etc., all of these have methods.

If he said too much, he was afraid that the emperor would not be able to remember it and would think he was bragging.

The main purpose of revealing some information is to let the emperor know that their family has this technology, and then just wait and see the results.

The results of these crops will be visible in two to three months.

Although Yun Kingdom no longer sells grain to Long Kingdom, it should still be able to hold out for a year or two.

As long as they are given half a year, the emperor will see significant results.

"really!"

The emperor understood.

Yes!

The common people always think about growing food. They grow edible food, mainly rice and wheat.

But some lands really cannot be cultivated, and I have never thought about planting anything else.

One is that I feel the soil is too poor and nothing can be grown.

I have also tried to grow other things, but there are too few things that can be grown in Longguo, and many seeds have to be purchased from Yunguo.

The prices of seeds and grains in Yun Country have been getting higher and higher in the past two years.

Ordinary people cannot afford it, and over time no one has conducted research in this area.

Only the big landlords and officials who own land still insist on planting it, but the harvest is less than half of that in Yun State.

If Lord Bai's daughter could really grow something, she wouldn't need to grow a lot, just one or two things that could be eaten would be enough.

The emperor was so excited just thinking about it.

"What do you need me to do?

Do you have any seeds at home?

I can talk to the Agriculture Department and ask them to transfer some seeds."

"Thank you, Your Majesty. That is great."

"My dear, please tell me the details. With those two countries present, don't publicize this matter for the time being. First..."

Bai Mengshang was having a secret conversation with the Emperor in the palace. After school, Bai Jintong went with her mother and cousin to look for a middleman to look at the land.

Speaking of buying land, it was all thanks to the money provided by Feng Ming and his men.

Bai Jintong later gave the silver to Hong Tianqiao, who never used it.

I lost more than half of the money I earned from the two stores I opened before.

Since I want to grow corn, it doesn’t matter if I buy it in a remote location. The only requirement is that it must be kept secret.

"Madam, are you sure it doesn't matter whether it is a low-grade field?"

"Ah."

Bai Jintong knew at a glance that this person was puzzled and wondered what they wanted to do with such a piece of broken land.

"I have a small restaurant at home, so I need to raise chickens, ducks, geese, and pigs. I'm afraid the smell will be too strong and may suffocate others.

Those animals are very noisy. If we don’t choose a remote place where people live, who can stand it?

We can’t harm others for our own sake.”

"Yes, ma'am, you are really thoughtful."

The middleman had no doubts and immediately pointed out three places for them.

“Madam, if you want a good place at this time, it may be difficult to find.

There is really no picky place for raising those animals, there are several suitable places.”

The middleman found the relevant documents and deeds and explained where they were and which area best met the requirements.

Moreover, such remote and inferior land is very cheap. One tael of silver can buy two acres of land.

This is still in the suburbs near the capital. If it is in a remote area, one tael of silver might be able to buy three or four acres of land.

The main thing is that it is really useless and nothing can be grown and sold.

'Mother and daughters' study together.

The corn seeds rewarded by the system will sprout one by one, and not a single one will be wasted.

For the white hibiscus, only four to five kilograms of seeds are needed per acre.

If all is planted, there will be about two hundred acres of land.

They also need to raise chickens, ducks and geese to cover the seeds, so the land needs to be larger.

Since you already have them, you might as well raise more. You can also plant some fruit trees and dig a pond. It would be even better if the farm has a pond itself.

But in the end, they still chose two connected plots of land without ponds, totaling 2,008.3 mu. The owner simply took away the remaining parts and only asked for the full amount of 1,200 taels of silver.

Bai Jintong winked at her mother: It's so cheap, if you have money, buy more land and hoard it, you will become a big landlord in the future!

Hong Tianqiao: OK!

After it was settled, the group went directly to the government office to transfer the land deed and file the document.

Bai Jintong immediately went to see the terrain in person, selected a suitable location, and distributed the land. He then asked the housekeeper to find someone to dig a pond and then build a wall around it.

During the corn planting period, try not to be discovered by anyone.

"The money spent on these is more than what we spent on buying the land."

Hong Wenchu ​​sighed.

“It will definitely be worth it later.”

Bai Jintong had just got home from work when He Han came and handed her an unopened letter.

"Miss, this is the letter that the Crown Prince of Fenglin sent to me."
