Chapter 18

The New Year is gradually going away amidst the sound of firecrackers.After the new year, what should be busy is going to be busy again.

Although the weather was still cold, Wei Ming couldn't sit idle any longer.Others are not willing to grow sweet potatoes, but he is willing to do so!Not only to plant, but also to plant in many miles.No matter what happens to a thousand acres of land, six or seven hundred acres of land must be planted with sweet potatoes.The remaining three or four hundred acres of land will be planted with potatoes.One is out of preference, and the other is because Wei Ming feels that using sweet potatoes instead of general grains is much better than potatoes.Of course, sweet potatoes are a little imperfect because they don't have a lot of protein.If you want a balanced development, you must have something rich in protein.Such as milk, eggs.The protein in potatoes is also good.Even if there are some deficiencies, potatoes and sweet potatoes can be used to raise pigs, livestock and so on.This kind of sweet potato is a good deal no matter how you look at it.The yield per mu is high, which is frighteningly high.What is the yield per mu of wheat and rice?Killed, a thousand catties.In a drought year, if there is three or four hundred catties, it is an eye-opener for God.If it is a little more unlucky, it will be nothing.Especially rice, the demand for water is too great.Right now, there is basically a small drought every year, and a major drought in the past few years, so basically we have to be blind to grow rice.Therefore, growing potatoes and sweet potatoes is a must.It would be nice to have some corn or something.The yield per mu of corn is still very good.Moreover, a large amount of corn can also produce a large amount of straw.In winter, it is good to have something to light a fire to keep warm.After all, the current population of the whole country is neither too large nor too small, more than 1 million but less than [-] million.Based on the current situation of coal mining, it is basically a nonsense to use coal to meet people's heating needs.

Now that we have this goal, the first thing to solve is the land.With the one thousand mu of land, it is almost enough.Even as a test field.Wei Ming didn't know if the sweet potatoes would survive if they were planted here.The same goes for potatoes and corn.After all, the current weather is really abnormal.Even if it can live, it is still unknown whether the output will be large.Now to persuade others to grow this kind of thing, on the one hand, no one may listen to you.In the second aspect, it is very likely that you will be charged with treason.Think about it, now that internal and external troubles have begun to show signs, if you do such a thing that has never been done before or since, can those officials let you go?In the third aspect, the technical aspect is not good either.There are not so many seeds to plant so many mu of land at once.Fourth, there is no guarantee.If all these things are planted, what will Wei Ming do to make money?Are you going to buy all the sweet potatoes?Where did you get so much money?What if others don't want to do it?At that time, all the potatoes and sweet potatoes will rot in the ground, and people will not get money, and there will be no money to pay taxes.The government is pressing hard, and if it doesn't work out, it will have to rebel.If the Ming Dynasty had come to an end a few years earlier because of this incident, then Wei Ming would have truly become a sinner through the ages.

Now that the land is there, the next thing is the seed.You can't grow anything without seeds.The idea is good, but no matter what you do, you have to connect it with reality and see if it is feasible.Now we have to implement the issue of seeds.Otherwise the weather will be warmer, everything will be ready, no seeds, and everyone will have to lie down.That loss is not a star and a half.But Wei Ming doesn't need to worry about this matter.Fatty Wang was originally a wine merchant, and he traveled around a lot. He has a good relationship and a wide range of contacts. Let him do this job to the best of his abilities.

These problems have been solved, but it is not over yet.There is land and seeds, but no matter what it is, it is all done by people.Without anyone, it's all for nothing.Wei Ming has [-] mu of land vacant, but has no tenants.At the beginning, Liang Dingxian said that he would give Wei Ming [-] mu of land, but he didn't say that he would give it to the tenants.Now I have to find those refugees or those who have no land to come to my own village as tenants to farm for myself.The current world is not very good. If you want to grow some fields for small farmers and small households, and encounter a year of natural disasters, life will be difficult.But if you go to a big family to be a tenant, you don't have to worry about this.Because, if you become a tenant, you don't need to pay taxes to the state.Tenants are only responsible to their employers.And here there is a lot of space to move around.On the employer's side, it is still negotiable.And the price Wei Ming offered was not bad.As a tenant in his Zhuangzi, the seeds, land and tools are all from the Wei family.The food produced is divided into four or six.Wei Ming six, tenant four.In other words, the tenants only need to bring their heads.The rest are the responsibility of the Wei family.Even a labor tool such as cattle will be provided for the tenants to use.The tenants are quite satisfied with such conditions.After all, life is still very difficult now.It didn't take long for the tenants to be found.Basically all the family members come together.Wei Ming did not treat them badly.Not far from the one thousand acres of land, a Zhuangzi was built with money.Wei Ming really doesn't have such a big capital to build such a gorgeous big yard and mansion.But when the tenants do their own labor and Wei Ming pays for some necessities, it is still possible to build a house that can be lived in.

In this way, the tenant's affairs can be regarded as fulfilled.In the end, everything is ready and only the east wind is owed.As long as it warms up, you can start farming.If there is a good harvest in a few years, it will definitely make a lot of money!Think about it and feel beautiful.Wei Ming even woke up laughing because he was so happy for several nights.

"Brother Wei, Brother Wei!" Wei Ming was sitting at home drinking tea with his blanket covered.Although the ghostly weather is warm, it is still chilly.In general, I really don't want to go out.How comfortable is it to be at home with a blanket and a fire?But some people just don't want to make Wei Ming feel comfortable.

"What's the matter, it looks like a funeral!" The teacup in Wei Mingjing's hand fell on the table.As soon as he heard that broken voice, he knew it was Fatty Wang.This guy, it's easier to come to Wei's house now than to enter his own house.When entering his own house, he would never have the courage to yell.

"Brother Wei, you are here!" Pushing open the door and entering, Fatty Wang was still blowing on his hands.It seems that this guy's body fat can't stop the cold outside.Looking at the gray weather with some snowflakes dancing, Wei Ming even gave up the idea of ​​going out for a stroll.

"Come on, little girl, give me a good squeeze." I have to say that sitting at home is also very tiring.After resting for a whole winter, the bones in my body are all brittle.Fortunately, there is a girl like Xiaonuan, whose skills are really good.When he felt comfortable, Wei Ming said slowly: "If you have anything to say, just say it. It's cold and you're still running outside, and you're not afraid of losing your fat body."

"Oh, my brother Wei, you don't know, if I don't come out again, then my fat body will really be gone." Fatty Wang put on a bitter face when he came in, and he knew it at a glance It was repaired by his wife and went to Wei Ming to complain.

"What's the matter? Are you here again? Did you come to borrow money from me again? Let me tell you, I really have no money. If you don't believe me, you can ask her. I didn't even pay her this month's wages." Wei Ming is now afraid of Fatty Wang.This guy has borrowed money from Wei Ming a lot this winter.Although Wei Ming is not a stingy person, he really doesn't have more money to let this fat bitch waste.

"Oh, my brother Wei, I really didn't borrow money from you this time." These were the best words I heard from Fatty Wang this winter.It's much better than the two sentences he said during the New Year's greetings, such as Gong Xi Fa Cai.

"Then what are you here for?" Wei Ming was surprised. There are usually only two possibilities for Fatty Wang to come, one is to get food, but to borrow money.According to today's posture, if it wasn't for borrowing money, Wei Ming really couldn't figure out what Fatty Wang was here for.

"Brother Wei, news has come from Yangzhou that the rice market has begun to become tense, and it is estimated that food prices will rise in a few days. Should we make a move?" said the stars.Wei Ming has to say that Fatty Wang is still very sensitive to money.Perhaps, this is indeed an opportunity.What Wei Ming thinks now is not whether he can sell them all at a good price, but when he can go there to ensure that people will not starve to death, have money in their hands, and can sell them at a good price without showing up. Cannibalism.After all, if that kind of phenomenon occurs, it will be too hurtful.
