Chapter 402: The Biggest Landlord in Mo City
Lin Mo took Wuyou to the riverside, and after letting Wuyou fend for herself, she turned around and went to find Lao Song.
"Young Madam, do you mean half of these are this?" Old Song hesitated.
His eyes fell on the golden seeds in Lin Mo's palm.
What is this?
Why have I never seen it before?
What strange seeds, can they really be eaten?
"Yeah!" Lin Mo nodded, "This is called corn."
Then, I began to explain to him the precautions for growing corn.
In fact, this was the first time she had seen this thing.
It appeared in the space last night.
It also comes with a method of planting and eating.
What attracted her most was that corn was drought-resistant, flood-resistant, not picky about the soil, and had a high yield.
The most important point is that after the corn stalks are harvested, they can be stored to feed livestock during the winter, thus solving the problem of livestock food in winter.
Lin Mo believed that space would not deceive him, so he resolutely decided to plant corn on half of the land.
After introducing the corn, Lin Jiuyi looked at Old Song seriously:
"Old Song, believe me, growing this corn is absolutely worth it.
Moreover, the land you have reclaimed is more suitable for growing this. Corn is not picky about the soil, and if you take good care of it, it will have a high yield. Once the harvest is good, we won't have to worry about having nothing to eat during the cold winter."
Winter is too long here.
Crops can only be grown once a year, so what you grow is crucial.
Old Song pursed his lips and nodded seriously:
"Young Madam, we will listen to you.
but……"
He hesitated and gritted his teeth:
"Young Madam, I didn't buy any grain seeds..."
"Forget it, let's plant corn on all our land." Lin Mo slammed the table with great determination.
As for millet, they don’t grow it themselves. They can buy it when the time comes, or take it out from the space.
Lots of choices!
The most important thing now is to have enough food for the people to survive the winter and to attract more people to come here.
She decided to let Ping'an and others buy all the unowned land in this area in the next two days.
She wants to be the biggest landlord in Mo City!
"Okay!" Old Song nodded.
Just take a gamble!
Even if the harvest is really bad, given the character of the young lady, she will not ignore them. As long as they work hard, the young lady will not treat them unfairly!
Lin Mo nodded, "You don't have to worry about the irrigation.
Start the work first, and wait for Wuyou to finish building the water truck, so you won’t have to worry about water problems in the future.”
Old Song looked at the old man who was measuring the river not far away and frowned:
"Young Madam, is it really useful?
If it doesn't work, it doesn't really matter.
Planting corn as the young lady said, all you need to do is water it, and that's pretty easy."
Anyway, they have plenty of energy to grow crops and are not afraid of carrying water.
"Don't worry, I can definitely do it," Lin Mo had 100% confidence in Wuyou.
She glanced around and said, "Let's finish sowing here as soon as possible, then go reclaim the wasteland and plant some more. Then when winter comes, we won't have to worry about food."
She still needs to find more people to farm the land.
Most of the people in this area have finished sowing, so we have to buy it as soon as possible and ask them to help with farming.
Even the elderly can farm.
The more Lin Mo thought about it, the more he felt it was possible.
Old Song nodded, chatted for a few other words, and then turned and left.
Lin Mo thought for a moment before turning around and walking towards Wuyou.
At this time, Wuyou was rolling up his trouser legs, barefoot, and testing the depth of the river with a wooden stick.
"What's the matter?" Lin Mo asked.
"It's a bit difficult." Wuyou looked up:
"It's a bit high. The waterwheel would have to be very large! It would probably take a lot of time and money."
Lin Mo nodded, his face solemn. "What do you want? How many people do you need? Just tell me. I can satisfy you unconditionally!"
Wuyou glanced at her and said, "You are so generous about this matter!"
But he didn't say anything to Lin Mo, shaking his head, "Those ditches..."
"Don't worry, I will send people to repair these ditches tomorrow, and it will definitely not affect the water diversion." Lin Mo interrupted him.
Don't even give him a chance to say no.
Wuyou glanced at her and snorted coldly, "That's better. I'll go back and draw the blueprints. You find a few experienced carpenters and start tomorrow."
After giving the instructions, Wuyou walked away slowly.
Lin Mo didn't say anything and turned around to busy herself with other things.
Now that I'm here, I naturally have to deal with other things.
By the evening, the news that Lin Mo was going to plant corn had spread throughout Beijia Village, and everyone in Beijia Village couldn't help but talk about it.
Jia Kun found Lin Mo and asked, "Madam, is it because you didn't buy the seeds?
It is very difficult to grow crops here. Our ancestors usually grew beans and grains here, which are easy to grow and have a harvest.
If you're short of seeds, I'll get them for you. It's best not to risk growing crops from other places here."
Especially for this kind of crops that I have never heard of, I cannot take any risks.
Jia Kun didn't say the last sentence.
Lin Mo smiled, "No, I'll just grow corn!"
After thinking for a moment, Lin Mo looked at him seriously and said, "If you want to grow corn, I can also provide you with seeds, free of charge!"
We are all from the same village, so just give them a hand.
Jia Kun was stunned and quickly shook his head, "No need, my family has already planted soybeans."
He didn't dare to joke about his family's food rations for next year.
Although growing soybeans and rice may not necessarily keep the whole family from going hungry all year round, at least it will prevent anyone from starving to death.
If you take the risk of planting corn and the harvest is poor, then the family’s food supply for the rest of the year will be at risk.
He couldn't take the risk.
Lin Mo felt a little regretful. She nodded and said, "Then there's nothing we can do."
"Young Madam, would you like to reconsider it? I can help you find a solution for the seeds! There should be some seeds left in the village, and it should be enough if we add them together." Jia Kun persuaded her persistently.
Lin Mo shook her head seriously. "No, thank you for your kindness. We will just grow corn."
She believed that space would not let her down.
Jia Kun could only leave with regret.
Xu Wuyan arrived and glanced at Jia Kun's departing figure. "Is Jia Kun here to persuade you to plant something else?"
Lin Mo nodded and looked at Xu Wuyan curiously. "Do many people in the village know that I want to grow other crops?"
Xu Wuyan chuckled, "What do you think?
Four words to describe it: abuzz.
Everyone is talking about whether you will have no harvest in the autumn!
Lin Mo sighed, "As the first person to eat a sheep, it's normal to be noticed. If I weren't noticed, that would be abnormal. I'm very calm!"
"Madam is right!" Xu Wuyan said seriously:
"So I'll be the second person to eat the sheep, ma'am. Is there enough seed?"
"How many do you want?" Lin Mo calculated in his mind how many corn seeds there were in the space.
"Ten times yours."
Lin Mo, “…”
How much did Lao Xu buy?
She also said that she wanted to be the biggest landlord in Mo City. Now it seems that the biggest landlord is this guy Old Xu!
Lin Mo gritted his teeth and said, "It must be enough!"
Xu Wuyan smiled brightly, "Madam, you are so kind. How can I repay you?"
At this time, Xu Wuyan's voice became a little ambiguous, and he leaned towards her and blew gently into her ear.
Lin Mo's ears felt hot. This bastard must be thinking about some messed up things in his head.
She immediately stepped aside and said, "This is what I should do. No need to repay me. Let's go back!"
After saying that, he hurried forward.
Just kidding, as soon as you see his expression, you can tell he has bad intentions.
She didn't want to have to hold her waist up to get out of bed tomorrow.
"lady!"
Xu Wuyan's lips curled slightly, he reached out and grabbed her hand, pulling her into his arms. While holding her from behind, he put his head next to her ear and whispered:
"I would feel guilty not to express my gratitude.
As for compensation, we don't need to make it too complicated. How about paying it with our bodies, okay?"
Lin Mo's face flushed red. This bastard was so shameless, thinking about this kind of thing all the time.
"Madam, what's the matter?" Xu Wuyan's voice was bewitching.
Lin Mo's legs were weak, but she tried hard to stand up straight and coughed lightly:
"not good!
Stop letting your imagination run wild, you hear me!"
When she looked up, she saw Xu Xianyu looking at them with a smile.
Lin Mo's face turned red!
He quickly pushed Xu Wuyan away and coughed lightly, "We didn't do anything!"
Xu Xianyu pursed her lips and chuckled, "Sister-in-law, I understand. You didn't do anything!"
After saying that, he ran away!
Lin Mo, “…”
He turned to look at Xu Wuyan and shouted, "Old Xu, I'll beat you to death!"
