Chapter 626: Oxcart and Horse Carriage
Ma Shun and Ma Daping also told everyone how to grow potatoes and sweet potatoes.
Then distribute potatoes and sweet potatoes to each household.
Almost every household can grow potatoes and sweet potatoes on half an acre of land.
Based on the yield of more than 1,000 kilograms per acre, half an acre of land can produce at least 500 kilograms.
In fact, what everyone doesn’t know is that Xiao Yueyao reported this number just to be on the safe side.
It is also to prevent the planting of potatoes and sweet potatoes from being affected by some poor quality land, infertile land or wasteland.
Normally, one acre of land can produce more than 2,000 kilograms under good conditions.
Don’t forget that potatoes and sweet potatoes are crops produced in her space. After being nourished by the spiritual energy of the space, the yield is naturally higher.
As long as you take good care of the fields and use good land for planting, you can get a yield of 2,000 kilograms per acre.
The yield of crops planted by Xiao Yueyao on the farm is very high.
After the potatoes and sweet potatoes were distributed, all the villages began to get busy with spring plowing.
It is also the time when the busy farming season officially begins.
However, during the busy spring farming season in Hezhou, everyone has smiles on their faces, smiles that are full of hope for life.
"We will definitely have a good harvest this year."
"Of course not. If we plant potatoes and sweet potatoes, and also plant some rice and vegetables, there will be enough to eat."
"And even if the crops are harvested, the land that was reclaimed doesn't have to pay taxes in the beginning, and the taxes paid on existing land are also low, so a lot of crops can be left."
"Yes, I can eat a full meal every day and don't have to go hungry."
In the past, the prefect deliberately increased taxes. Everyone worked hard to farm the fields, and after paying the tax on the harvested grain, there was still not enough food to eat, and some people even went hungry.
Fortunately, the current emperor is good, and Lord Su is also good.
As long as they work hard on the farm, the grain they harvest in a normal year will be enough for their family to eat.
Moreover, during the slack season, they can go out and find some work to earn some money to supplement their family income.
They just hoped that Lord Su could stay in Hezhou forever.
At the same time, Su Xueyi also asked everyone below to buy the carriage.
He built a large yard specifically to accommodate these carriages.
That day, Xiao Yueyao followed Su Xueyi to the large yard where the carriages were parked.
She saw the improved carriages, each of which could carry a lot of people.
It's similar to the buses of the technological age, except that the carriages are not as big.
But a carriage can carry more than ten people.
“The carriage was actually made.”
When Xiao Yueyao saw this, she was amazed.
She just told him the idea and plan, and Su Xueyi had people arrange the production completely.
"Is that so?"
Xiao Yueyao nodded and said, "Yes, that's right. This kind of carriage is very good."
Su Xueyi said, "We also have ox carts. We can arrange ox carts for villages and towns, and horse carriages for trips from town to prefecture and provincial capitals."
"There are also strongholds in the town. At night, when the ox carts stop, they can be driven to the strongholds to rest. There will also be people to feed the oxen."
"It's the same here in the capital."
“I walk the route back and forth every day.”
Xiao Yueyao asked, "Should we arrange these ox carts and horse carriages to run these routes now?"
Of course, there are people who specialize in driving ox carts and horse carts.
These people are also assigned to a special prefectural department, and Su Xueyi will appoint a manager.
The manager is in charge of the staff under him.
Of course, Su Xueyi arranged for her trusted secret guards to do these things.
Fortunately, Su Xueyi has many confidants and some secret guards.
Now he has arranged some of his secret guards to work in public.
Su Xueyi explained, "It's the busy farming season right now, so arranging ox carts and horse carriages probably won't be helpful. We can arrange them after everyone finishes their farm work."
Xiao Yueyao also thought this was better.
After going out to look at the ox carts and horse carriages, Xiao Yueyao and Su Xueyi returned.
Mainly because it is spring, letters from all over the country have been delivered.
Many of Xiao Yueyao's farms have also started spring plowing.
The farmers are also responsible for these matters, so Xiao Yueyao doesn't have to worry too much.
And there is Liuhe Village.
She and Su Xueyi haven't returned to Liuhe Village for a long time.
However, the person in charge would write to her to tell her what was happening in Liuhe Village.
Business has always been good for both the embroidery workshop and the lipstick workshop.
The oil press business in the rapeseed fields is also very good.
Because more rapeseed flowers are planted, the oil pressing workshop has doubled in size, and now a lot of rapeseed oil produced is used in the market.
The oil used by Erge Hotpot Restaurant and Dage Noodle House is all from their own oil press workshop.
Using your own oil is cheap and safe to use.
It's all good oil anyway.
…
Xiao Shaochen and Ye's noodle shop became busy after opening.
There are also fan workshops, and both of them will go there in person to watch over them.
Fortunately, everything is functioning normally now.
Hezhou has well-developed transportation and many merchants come and go. Everyone knows that there are special vermicelli workshops here and will purchase goods from here.
Of course, many snack shops have also introduced vermicelli as a food, making hot and sour vermicelli soup, and even adding some vermicelli to mutton soup.
The grilled vermicelli tastes great too.
Such food has also become a specialty of Hezhou.
The main reason is that there is no such food as vermicelli in other places.
It was the vermicelli workshop in Xingshan Village. The vermicelli produced there were almost all used in the two or three nearby states.
After all, the workshop is not very big.
Xiao Yueyao's ham sausage workshop business is also very good.
Also because the ham sausage business in the capital was very good, Xiao Yueyao also opened a ham sausage workshop in order to provide more employment opportunities for more people in Hezhou.
After all, thanks to the management of Su Xueyi and Xiao Yueyao, there are more and more special foods in the whole Hezhou.
Because the newspapers were circulated to various states, many people read the records about the delicacies in the newspapers and came to Hezhou to eat these foods.
It is also because the weather has warmed up and it is not cold in Hezhou, so many people come to Hezhou.
This also includes some people in the capital.
Although it is the busy farming season, Xiao Shaochen and Ye's noodle shops are still crowded with people.
"Waiter, give us a bowl of oil-splashed wide noodles."
"OK."
Although Ye hired people and waiters to help in the store, at the beginning, in order to ensure quality, Ye personally worked in the kitchen.
Although Xiao Shaochen is now the crown prince, he does not have the airs of a crown prince at all.
He also helps Ye in the kitchen.
Although he is busy and tired, Xiao Shaochen has feelings for the noodle shop.
Mainly, he remembered that they opened the noodle shop and made life better for their family.
So he didn't find it hard to run a noodle shop.
Xiao Shaochen glanced at the people outside and said, "It's not even dinner time yet, and the table is full again."
Ye sighed, "It's a good thing my sister gave us a big shop with two floors, otherwise we wouldn't have enough tables."
"There are many people in Hezhou."
Xiao Shaochen and Ye, who run a noodle shop, can fully feel how lively Hezhou is.
From mid-morning to late in the evening, there is a constant stream of people coming to eat noodles.
But everyone said that the noodles they made were delicious and unique, and they were happy to hear that.
