Reincarnated as the Abandoned Daughter of a Marquis's Mansion: I Take Control of My Life

Chapter 7: The plan begins. How about starting as a county magistrate?

No man would accept such harsh conditions.

I made these conditions precisely because I knew they wouldn't accept them, in order to stop their harassment.

Wealthy and powerful families, besides emphasizing matching social status, also want to have many descendants.

With many descendants, there is hope, and the family will prosper.

The conditions proposed by Su Yinyin were unprecedented for them and were difficult for them to accept.

But that doesn't stop people from watching the spectacle and discussing it.

Su Yinyin's reputation grew even more, and people in several surrounding counties knew about her.

Some people admire her, some people despise her, some women are ashamed of her, and some...

Su Yinyin didn't care about those comments, nor would she suffer any consequences. She would continue doing what she was supposed to do, since she wasn't eating their food or using their products anyway.

The planting season has begun, and everyone is busy in their fields.

Su Yinyin was no exception. After negotiation, Li Bai's eldest son, Li Xianqiang, second son, Li Xiankang, and third son, Li Xianjian, led their children to help Su Yinyin farm.

They still had two mu of their own land left, which was enough for Li Bai's wife by herself.

So, apart from Li Bai and his wife, all the other family members came out, even their youngest seven-year-old grandson. They lent a hand whenever they could.

Li Bai's family was hardworking, diligent, and united, without complaining.

What's even more remarkable is that the three daughters-in-law all get along very well, and they are all hardworking and filial.

The women in Li Bai's household were all incredibly capable at work, each one doing the work of half a man.

Simple, honest, and not gossipy. A family like this is bound to prosper sooner or later.

Su Yinyin's seeds were all seedlings cultivated in the space, and they could be planted directly after the field was plowed.

To save time, Li Xianqiang was asked to buy three cows, so Su Yinyin's family now had an extra cowshed. Feeding the cows was entrusted to Li Xianqiang's youngest son, seven-year-old Li Xiaolin.

The villagers had never seen Su Yinyin's seedlings before, and they assumed she knew nothing about farming since she had never done it before. They felt she had been tricked and cheated out of the seedlings she bought.

In rural areas, whatever you do will be looked down upon by others because they are jealous.

They discussed their own things, while Su Yinyin tended her fields.

Thanks to everyone's efforts, the sweet potatoes were successfully planted.

Fifty acres, all planted with sweet potatoes. What will it be like when the harvest comes?

The harvest season is always something to look forward to.

As the days went by, the sweet potato leaves grew and turned green. Su Yinyin asked Li Xianqiang and the others to pick some to take home and eat.

The deliciousness of the sweet potatoes quickly became famous throughout the village, and Su Yinyin was generous enough to pick some to share with her close friends.

Of course, they will also assign Li Xian and others to take turns looking after these fifty acres of sweet potatoes.

To prevent people from stealing sweet potato leaves. Picking too many leaves will affect the sweet potato harvest.

The villagers who were originally just watching the spectacle are now also looking forward to a bumper harvest of sweet potatoes, wondering if they will be as easy to manage and high-yielding as Su Yinyin said!

With everyone's attention, the harvest season has arrived.

It wasn't the busy farming season, so the women and older children in the village were all free.

Su Yinyin invited them to help dig sweet potatoes. That day, the village chief also came, as did other villagers who had free time; everyone wanted to see the sweet potato yield.

“Village chief, uncles and aunts, watch how I eat it, and you should try it too. This sweet potato can be eaten raw, and it tastes a little sweet.”

As everyone watched, Su Yinyin picked up a wood-chopping knife, peeled off a thin layer of skin from the sweet potato, and began to eat it.

"Wow, it really is! It's a little crunchy and a little sweet."

It's also big; look, mine weighs a full half pound.

Oh dear, this thing I'm holding probably weighs about a pound.

Seeing the villagers' excited discussion and interest in sweet potatoes, I felt even more obligated to promote the benefits of sweet potatoes.

"Uncle Li Bai, this sweet potato can be cut into small pieces and cooked with grains, such as porridge or rice."

You can also cook it separately or steam it.

Sweet potatoes taste even sweeter when cooked after being stored for a while.

If stored properly, it can last for several months.

If you don't want to eat it, you can sell it, or you can make it into sweet potato starch or sweet potato noodles, which are easy to store.

Well enough…………."

"Su Baobao's mother, weigh her first, weigh her first!" the village chief said anxiously.

The yield of these sweet potatoes is already quite high. But we still need to weigh them to confirm the number.

This important matter that benefits the people must be reported to the county magistrate and presented to him.

Su Yinyin knew what the village chief was thinking. Regardless of the village chief's plans, she also wanted to know the yield.

The above is called……………

Li Xian shouted loudly, "Miss Su, the yield is four thousand catties per mu! Four thousand catties per mu!"

The villagers were stunned when they heard the weight.

Four thousand catties! With these four thousand catties, we won't have to worry about going hungry.

And they're not even using the best land to grow it, yet the yield is so high. So what if... I don't even want to think about it.

If we plant on our two acres of land, we can grow 8,000 catties. Even if the yield is a little lower, about 3,000 catties per acre, the yield from two acres of land is enough to feed the family for a year.

Humans can eat sweet potato leaves, and after a good harvest, the leaves and stems can be used to feed pigs, chickens, ducks, etc.

Imagine the future: the villagers look on with fervent hope at Su Yinyin, seeing her as their lucky charm, the one who will lead them to prosperity.

Su Yinyin was quite satisfied with the output.

As for what to do with these sweet potatoes, Su Yinyin already had a plan. Such a high yield would surely alarm the county magistrate.

The county magistrate would not let such an opportunity slip by.

Some were sold to the county magistrate, and some were sold to villagers who wanted to grow them.

Of course, there are requirements for buying sweet potato seeds. The sweet potatoes grown must be sold to Su Yinyin.

As for how many to sell for and how much, it will all be written in the contract.

The purpose of acquiring so many sweet potatoes is, of course, to build a complete sweet potato industry chain.

Everything unfolded as Su Yinyin had predicted.

After three years of development, the name Su Yinyin became a highly respected figure among the county magistrate and prefect.

Thanks to the prefect's vigorous promotion, all the counties under his jurisdiction planted the rice, sweet potatoes, and corn cultivated by Su Yinyin.

Tax revenue and other aspects saw accelerated improvements. Furthermore, the Divine Physician's Pavilion was located in Qingzhou City, where the prefect resided. Qingzhou City's reputation spread throughout the Great Yan Kingdom.

The villagers are no longer hungry, and they have some stored grain and a small amount of savings.

The proportion of children in each village who can afford to attend school has increased.

Especially for Su Yinyin, in Lijia Village, as long as she reaches school age, her family can afford to support her.

Almost every household in the village has built a large brick house. Only Su Yinyin's family remains unchanged, with the same few rooms.
