Chapter 190 High-yield foreign crops
"mother"
"Luo'er, Mom is not stupid, and neither is your dad. So, just do whatever you want to do, because Mom and Dad are here for you. Also, there are some things you can let your brother do. Do you understand what Mom is saying?"
Looking at his mother who was thinking about him, Lian Feiluo's eyebrows curved, and he put his head on Xu Yuzhu's legs and said softly: "Mom, thank you."
"Silly child, you are my daughter and I am your mother, why should I say thank you?"
"Luo'er, as for the seeds, corn seeds are very good in this season."
"Hmm, it's just the origin of this seed..."
The mother and daughter were talking when Lian Jing, who had just finished teaching, walked into the yard. He looked at the mother and daughter and said, "Hey, what are you whispering about?"
Xu Yuzhu glared at him and waved at him: "Come quickly, I want to discuss something with you."
"What is worthy of discussion, Madam?"
Xu Yuzhu quietly told him about the seeds, then looked at him and asked, "Master, please give me some advice on this matter. Don't expose my daughter."
Looking at his protective wife, Lian Jing waved his hand and said, "I've already thought about this. I'll say it was sent by our daughter's master."
"I've already revealed before that our daughter has a master, but this master's whereabouts are elusive and we can't contact him."
Hearing this, Lian Feiluo covered her mouth and laughed. She didn't expect that her father would have the same idea as her and fabricate a mysterious master...
Seeing that the problem was solved, Xu Yuzhu got up and went into the kitchen to cook lunch.
Three days later, the Northern King Wuzhe, who had been away, rode back to Yushan in a hurry, wanting to see the legendary foreign seeds.
When Wu Zhe saw the yellow corn seeds and thought of the travel notes that said the yield per mu of this crop could reach 1,000 kilograms, he became very excited.
Then, under the guidance of Lian Qin, who taught planting courses, the laborers in Yushan planted corn at the ratio of three kilograms of seeds per mu.
Three hundred kilograms of corn seeds were just enough to plant one hundred acres.
Looking at the fields planted with corn seeds, everyone's faces were filled with happy smiles, and at the same time, they were looking forward to the harvest.
All the teachers and students of Yunluo Academy participated in the corn planting this time.
Some people who are interested in this matter also suggested that they record the planting lessons this time and come to observe the growth of the corn during the trip, saying that they wanted to improve the corn planting process in the travel notes.
As soon as this proposal was put forward, it immediately received the approval of many people, and they volunteered to join this action.
Seeing this scene, Mr. Qi, who was in charge of the farm work, had tears in his eyes and kept sighing: "The farm work course is well started, well started!"
Time goes by day by day.
August is coming soon.
The corn is ready to be harvested.
On this day, Dean Lian Jing led a group of people to the cornfield with his specially made knives.
Children and women are responsible for breaking corn, men are responsible for carrying corn cobs and cutting corn stalks, and the elderly are responsible for peeling the corn husks and drying them.
Wu Zhe also changed into a short coat and a straw hat and joined the team cutting corn stalks.
Seeing basket after basket of corn cobs being carried out from the cornfield, the people of Yushan were moved to tears.
Over the years, even with the sweet potatoes they had before, they had never really filled their stomachs.
This time, the bumper corn harvest gave them hope again.
It is said that Yushan is a place of exile and has no production, but over the years, they have been getting better and better, and they even don't want to leave Yushan.
It took a full ten days to harvest all 100 acres of corn.
Under Wu Zhe's witness, Li Zi and Yun Shan began to weigh the corn.
After this, everyone was immediately shocked when they made another estimate.
The yield per mu reached 1,000 kilograms, and that was 1,000 kilograms of dry corn kernels.
Hearing this number, Old Man Qi burst into tears: "There's hope, there's hope!"
Suddenly, the weeping old man Qi knelt down and kowtowed to Wu Zhe: "Northern King, be merciful, Northern King, be merciful!"
With Old Man Qi leading the way, the people around him also knelt and worshipped, shouting, "Northern King, be merciful! Northern King, be merciful!"
Wu Zhe, the Northern King, looked at Lian Jing, who was also kneeling, and quickly stepped forward to help him up: "Sir, please stand up quickly."
He looked at the crowd and said, "Please stand up. If it weren't for you, Yushan wouldn't be as prosperous as it is today. This is all thanks to you. However, from now on, nothing about Yushan can be revealed to the outside world!"
After saying this, he glanced at everyone coldly: "If you disobey, your entire family will be executed!"
Upon hearing this, the people who had just stood up knelt down again, shouting, "We will obey the Northern King's order and keep our mouths shut."
"Well, get up."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
The next day, Li Zi rang the gong to notify everyone in Yushan to go to the drying yard to collect corn, ten pounds of corn per person.
Upon hearing the news, everyone was overjoyed. They quickly took out the cloth bags from their homes and ran towards the drying yard.
Yushan, including the students of the academy, has only about 200 people. If each person weighs 10 kilograms, it will only be 2,000 kilograms.
Although the harvest this time was a full 100,000 jin, Wu Zhe, Lian Jing, Old Man Qi and others discussed and decided to give 50,000 jin to the military camp, and leave the rest for planting next year.
In this way, all the reclaimed land in Yushan can be planted with corn next year, and a better harvest can be harvested.
To this end, Wu Zhe not only brought his own guards, but also transferred a team from the northwest to surround Yushan like an iron wall.
Even the students of the academy cannot leave Yushan.
For the students who stayed in Yushan, this was not a big deal at all.
In comparison, they prefer to stay in the academy to read books, or take a walk in the fields of Yushan.
This time, there was a strange thing. Ouyang Hui, who always acted against the will of others, did not act like a demon.
This anomaly made Lian Jing suspicious, and he ordered his men to keep a close eye on Ouyang Hong's family.
It was not until April of the following year, when corn was planted again, that Ouyang Hui finally showed his true colors.
The remaining corn kernels were carefully selected, and 30,000 kilograms were selected and sown at the ratio of three kilograms of corn seeds per acre.
The total area of land reclaimed in Yushan and the surrounding areas is about 3,000 mu, so 10,000 kilograms of seeds were left behind.
The other 20,000 kilograms were sent to the Northwest Military Camp, where they were responsible for planting and management.
Ouyang Hui hadn't made any move, which puzzled Lian Jing. However, seeing that the sowing was about to begin, he only instructed one person to keep a close eye on him and report immediately if anything was found to be wrong.
The people who were monitoring were the cold and careful Xuan Yi and Tian Qing. Tian Qing was arranged by Lian Feiluo for no other reason than that Lian Feiluo always had a feeling that something was not real when he saw Ouyang Hui.
Her father also felt that there was something wrong with Ouyang Hui, but he had no evidence and could only keep an eye on him.
On this day, Lian Feiluo suddenly had an idea and wanted to go to Ouyang's house to check it out.
After discussing with his younger brother Lian Mingli, the two of them sneaked into Ouyang's house under the cover of Lian Mingtao and Lian Feishi.
