Chapter 61 The semen female partner chooses to farm (11)
Thinking of the rare opportunity to discuss farming with the prince face to face, Xu Yin simply told everything she knew:
"The same goes for cotton. It likes sunshine and resists drought. It is not suitable for the climate and geography here. Instead of struggling to maintain the yield and not producing enough, it is better to plant sugar cane."
"sugar cane?"
Yan Kejin heard her mention sugar cane more than once, but the last time she heard about it was from Yan Qi.
Xu Yin thought for a while and said: "I read it from a miscellaneous book. It said that there is a kind of crop called sugarcane overseas that has many uses. It is a good medicine for disease prevention and fitness. The squeezed juice can be used to make sugar.
The residue after the juice is used as raw material for papermaking, the leaves can be fertilized, and the head can be recycled to plant sugar cane...
I read that the growth environment described in the book was not much different from that of the Southern Barbarians, so I wondered if I could find it here. If I could find it, it would be possible to plant it in batches to produce sugar and make paper. You wouldn’t be able to get it in exchange for as much cloth as you want, don’t you think so?"
"Which book?"
Yan Kejin seemed to be more interested in the miscellaneous book about sugar cane she was talking about.
Xu Yin looked innocent: "I was angry with my fifth sister and we broke up."
The original person did tear up a batch of books. It was because he was angry after learning that the grand master's daughter was given to the new crown prince as his concubine.
Anyway, she didn't have a good relationship with her older sisters in the house. The fifth sister was actually present that day. She probably came to see the original person's joke, so she was used as a shield.
Yan Kejin looked at her deeply. How could someone who could see so many things from a miscellaneous book tear the book apart?
He doesn't believe it!
But she didn't want to say it, and he didn't force it.
"The king will send people to find the sugar cane you mentioned."
He came here today mainly because of the Quyuan Li matter. She agreed so readily, but he couldn't take it for granted. In addition to putting the three-in house in her name, he also gave her a golden ticket.
After Yan Kejin left, Xu Yin took the golden ticket and looked at it over and over.
"It turns out that the difference between a silver ticket and a gold ticket is only whether it says silver or gold. There is no difference in the ticket itself."
In Yanhua, the exchange rate between gold and silver is ten times, one tael of gold is equal to ten taels of silver.
The face value of this gold ticket is one thousand taels of gold, which is equivalent to ten thousand taels of silver.
Xu Yin flicked the golden ticket happily and instantly became rich again.
Aunt Feng was worried that she would spend as much as she did before, so she couldn't help but suggest:
"Girl, why don't you go buy some property."
industry?
Xu Yin couldn't help but think of various workshops.
Sugar cane has not been found yet, so sugar and paper making will be put aside for now, but the breeding industry can be started.
After silkworms spin silk, they can spin and weave silk. With silk, you can make clothes. All of these require workshops.
Chickens, ducks, geese, and pigs can also be raised on a large scale. Manure can be fertilized. In addition to being eaten fresh, meat can also be processed into sausages, floss, dried meat, meatballs... all of which also require workshops.
Oh, by the way, Baigui County is close to the sea like Baiyue and Minyue counties. Seafood farming can also be started. In this case, a seafood processing plant needs to be built. The market for fresh seafood is narrow, and dried goods can be sold as far away as the Central Plains.
, the potential market in the north is huge!
Land is needed to open a factory, and construction is a big expense. After that, there are workers’ wages, tools, materials and other expenses. In total, the initial investment is basically pure investment.
Based on this calculation, one thousand taels of gold is not enough for her to open several farms and workshops.
Let's do this for now. Once these industries are straightened out, I believe sugar cane will be developed as well.
If it doesn't work, secretly move some sugar cane heads from the system warehouse and cultivate them. Sugar production and paper making must be started anyway.
By then, Nanman will surely become the most watched fiefdom in Yanhua!
The emperor doesn't care for his son, so she will!
Ahem...she just looked at the face of her first love.
After hearing Xu Yin’s plan, Nanny Feng: “…”
After a while, she swallowed hard and said: "Girl, I think it's better for me to buy some small properties first, such as Zhuangzi and land, and then buy a few prosperous shops in the rest, just in case..."
The workshop the girl was talking about would not only fail to make any money if it is not run well, but it is also likely to lose everything. How can a land store be stable? If you have land in hand, don't panic. You don't need to invest in the shop, you can make money by renting it out.
Xu Yin can understand what Nanny Feng thinks.
So she asked Chunlan to take the money from the dowry and hand it over to her mother readily:
"Zhuangzi, please help me purchase the land."
With one thousand taels of gold, she still planned to buy a hilltop to breed, build a workshop and start a factory.
Aunt Feng: "..."
After all, I still couldn’t keep the last dowry money!
The next morning, Xu Yin had just finished her breakfast when she saw the housekeeper delivered the deed of the third house and conveyed the prince's original words: since the house was given to her, she could arrange it as she pleases.
Xu Yin suddenly felt like money was falling from the sky.
Grandma Feng also had the same illusion.
Before yesterday, I was worried that with the rate the girl was spending money, I didn’t know how long the remaining one thousand taels would last. Unexpectedly, just one day later, the girl had the Zhuangzi where she wanted to open a test field, the third big house, and the golden one.
Thousand taels.
"..."
Grandma Feng smiled happily.
Could it be that my girl came down to earth to gain experience from some god? Why did someone come to my door whenever I was short of money?
The person who gave it to me was none other than my own prince.
If the prince treats the girl well, this is a good thing that they, as servants, long for.
She sent the housekeeper away with a smile on her face, and Xu Yin asked Chunlan to put away the house deed.
"Where is the house located? Is it close to the palace?"
If it's close, she wants to go and have a look now.
House - a complex that Chinese people have had since ancient times.
"The housekeeper said it's on the second street north of the palace. The carriage is not far away. Miss, want to take a look?"
"Well, let's go shopping."
I haven’t gone out for a walk since I came to Fucheng.
When she heard that she was going shopping, Nanny Feng subconsciously covered her chest and gave Chunlan a subtle wink, telling her not to bring too much money.
Xu Yin didn't pay attention to the quarrel between the two of them, and concentrated on listing the things she wanted to buy.
The ventilation system suddenly went online and released a task——
[Ding—Explore the city of Baigui County and find out the local specialties that have not yet been explored. Every time you find one, you will be rewarded with 100 energy points. If you find ten items, you will be rewarded with a random skill]
Xu Yin was stunned for a moment. Is this a local specialty that has yet to be explored? Does the rice noodle eaten in the past two days count?
[Ding! Find the special delicacy of Baigui County - rice noodles, and you will be rewarded with 100 energy points]
Xu Yin was happy, is this okay?
That’s so easy to find.
There must be many local snacks and specialties on the streets of Fucheng, but due to inconvenient transportation or difficulty in preservation, they are not yet available as commodities out of Nanman.
So much so that people in the Central Plains and Beidi thought that the Southern Barbarians were so poor that they didn't have much good things. The Southern Barbarians lived a miserable life. If they didn't have enough to eat, they could only eat raw food and drink animal blood. That's how the misunderstanding started.
Of course, it’s not all a misunderstanding. It’s true that people are poor, and it’s true that they don’t have enough to eat all year round. The reasons are not only related to taxes, but also the crops grown at the wrong time, resulting in low yields.
