Transformed into an extremely evil grandmother and fled to escape famine with her children and grand

Two years later, in the autumn of the seventh year of Emperor Yuan of Jin's reign, there was another scene of bumper harvest in the Peach Blossom Spring Grand Canyon.

During these seven years, there are now more than 1,000 acres of dry land in the Taohuayuan Grand Canyon.

These dry lands are mainly planted with wheat, but also corn, millet and sorghum.

There are also more than 3000 acres but less than 4000 acres of sandy slopes.

The soil here is particularly suitable for growing sweet potatoes and potatoes.

The sweet potatoes and potatoes grown twice a year are all supplied to the vermicelli factory as raw materials.

Li Lanzhen also paid attention to improving the soil on these more than 3000 acres of land.

The humus soil brought back from the mountains and the manure from the farms are fermented and used to fertilize the fields.

Therefore, the per-acre yield of sweet potatoes and potatoes on more than 3000 acres of land has increased year by year.

The paddy fields in Taohuayuan cover less than 10,000 mu. In the entire Taohuayuan Grand Canyon, there is no vacant land except for the yards of the houses.

During these seven years, the Le Dynasty enjoyed good weather and the per-acre grain yield in Taohuayuan increased year by year.

Li Lanzhen's grain shop in Youzhou City continued to expand.

Now there is a special area in the grain shop for selling grain and vegetable seeds from Taohuayuan.

When people come to buy sweet potatoes, potatoes, and other vegetables, Li Lanzhen specially trains store clerks to explain the planting methods to them.

Sometimes I also tell them how to cook these grains and vegetables to make them taste better.

In the second year, eleven large circular granaries were built in Taohuayuan Grand Canyon.

There are now twenty large round granaries.

Every year before the new grain is harvested, the old grain that is not eaten will be transported to the grain shops in Youzhou City and sold as old grain, and the sales volume is very good.

Because all the grains in the Taohuayuan Grain Shop are clean and without any sand or stones.

It is a reliable grain shop.

At the foot of the northernmost mountain in Taohuayuan Grand Canyon, a courtyard covering an area of about five acres was built.

Is this the residence built for the current emperor and empress, or is it called a "temporary palace"?

At first I heard from Xuan Shen that it would be built with blue bricks and tiles, but I don’t know why it was changed later.

The courtyard house that is being built now is exactly the same as the one they live in.

It’s just that the wall of the courtyard is higher than theirs.

The courtyard wall is made of rammed earth, and the walls inside the house are also made of rammed earth.

The yard and rooms are all paved with green bricks, which looks clean and tidy.

There are also Kang beds in all the bedrooms.

The only difference is that the outside of the kang is paved with blue bricks.

After the courtyard was built, Xuan Shen took her to see it once. Li Lanzhen asked Xuan Shen whether the emperor and the empress could adapt to such a construction.

Especially whether they can get used to sleeping on the kang.

Xuan Shen nodded and said that this was the choice made by the emperor and the queen themselves.

They said it would be fine if it was just like the courtyard houses here.

Li Lanzhen didn't say anything anymore. She just wanted to make herself happy and live wherever she wanted.

She has always been resentful of the fact that the emperor and the empress were going to live in Taohuayuan after retiring.

But I can only complain a few words in my heart.

The grain from Taohuayuan was no longer transported to the grain shops in the capital.

The grain grown on the land in the big farm and small manor in the capital city can basically supply the grain shops.

Xue Lao Hu also contacted several villages around the capital and purchased grain from them every autumn. All the grain shops in the capital and Youzhou City were named "Taohuayuan".

Food prices have been very stable.

Thanks to the popularity of sweet potatoes and potatoes, people in all regions of the Le Dynasty could now have enough food to eat.

In areas with poor soil, sweet potatoes and potatoes are the main crops grown.

Other areas with fertile land have gradually used grain seeds produced by Taohuayuan, so grain production has increased.

After Li Lanzhen learned about these situations, she increased the number of steps in grain processing.

The first thing is to expand the vermicelli processing industry. The vermicelli processing technology has been handed over to the court free of charge through Xuanshen.

The imperial court ordered the Hezhou Prefecture to send people to the capital to learn vermicelli processing technology, and then after returning to the prefecture, they organized the counties and towns under its jurisdiction to learn the technology.

Every time a vermicelli processing plant is established, 10% of the net profit must be handed over to the national treasury.

The national treasury gradually became full.

Secondly, Li Lanzhen developed the noodle processing technology, set up a noodle processing workshop in Taohuayuan, and began to produce various noodle products.

The noodles first discovered by Scrophularia are very suitable for eating when walking outside.

When looking at Scrophularia, people always focus on food that can be easy for the garrison troops to carry when marching and fighting.

Later, Lan Zhen simply added the production of instant noodles.

She told Xuan Shen that instant noodles were the best food for going out for a walk!

Due to material limitations, Li Lanzhen only made instant noodle blocks.

I also made a batch of chopped dried vegetables, added mushroom sauce, meat sauce, and soybean sauce, boiled them in water, added them to the dough, and then added these according to my taste and I could eat them.

Of course, you can also add boiled eggs or poached eggs to make the instant noodles a step up.

Later, Li Lanzhen also donated the instant noodle processing technology to the court free of charge.

The instant noodles produced by the imperial court were mainly used as military food.

Although the vermicelli processing technology and instant noodle making technology were handed over to the court.

Li Lanzhen still asked the court for special approval for the right to sell instant noodles and vermicelli in Youzhou City.

All areas within Youzhou City are within the sales area of Li Lanzhen.

Other businesses cannot insert themselves into the business here at will.

Because soybeans and other beans are intercropped in corn fields, the per-acre yield of beans is also very high.

So Li Lanzhen developed soy product processing.

We produce traditional soy products such as tofu, soy milk, bean curd skin, oily bean curd skin, bean curd sticks, dried tofu, smoked dried tofu, moldy tofu and stinky tofu.

Now, soy products suitable for long-distance transportation have been sold to major prefectures and counties in the Le Dynasty.

All soy products are sold very well in grocery stores in Youzhou City.

Two batches of goods are delivered almost every day.

In order to allow all soy products to be sold in Beijing.

Li Lanzhen went to a dental clinic and bought a family of five and taught them how to make all kinds of soy products.

Then he asked Han Minghai to send them to the big manor in the capital.

Han Ming also built a soy product workshop in the manor.

Less than a month after the soy products were sold in Beijing, many big hotels came to place orders.

Han Minghai also found ten merchants who picked up goods from the workshops and sold soy products in Beijing or its surrounding areas.

In this way, the bean product workshops in the large estates in the capital only focus on production and do not export.

Vegetables in Taohuayuan grow all year round.

Li Lanzhen also set up a pickle factory.

Produce bean sauce, mushroom sauce, meat sauce and various pickled side dishes of various flavors.

Li Lanzhen often takes out various vegetables from the space and mixes them with vegetables from Peach Blossom Land for pickling.

Moreover, Lingquan water is added to each jar of pickled vegetables, so these pickled products have a unique taste and sell very well.
