Chapter 326 Daddy is a Bad Guy
This was the first time that any major action was taken since Liang Ruoxu arrived, so the people under him were extremely active.
After all, although the news from outside has not yet been received, they have heard from the adults that the elder has been appointed prime minister!
How many days can their Lord Liang stay here? His reinstatement is just around the corner! If he doesn't catch up now, when will he?
So everyone ran around happily, and soon they were in place after being notified, and the clan leaders and village heads also arrived on time.
In fact, peanuts are the most widely planted crop in Longmen County.
In Xinbao's words, the climate and soil here are suitable, and the farmers are not stupid, so why don't they plant crops if the yields are high?
But when they heard about the shelled seeds, everyone was stunned. They didn't dare to give any opinions to the master. They just looked depressed, obviously thinking that the ignorant people above them were causing trouble and their life would be difficult.
Liang Ruoxu had anticipated this situation and said directly, "Do you know the county magistrate of Jishan who built a greenhouse a few days ago? He received 500 acres of fertile land from the emperor and used this method to grow peanuts. You can come with me to take a look."
Tang Qingshan is extremely rigorous in his work, especially since this matter not only concerns his own family, but also the farmers in this county and Liang Ruoxu, so of course he will be more cautious.
So, I went through the entire process with Xinbao in advance.
First, the seeds should be sown half a month to twenty days earlier. Second, they should be exposed to the sun for two or three days.
Shelled seeds save the process of sowing seeds and avoid damage to the peanuts during the sowing process, but the peanuts still need to be broken into single fruits, and those that are already single fruits need to be pinched open to facilitate the seeds to absorb water and germinate.
Then use warm water similar to human body temperature to soak it for three or four hours, take it out, drain it and then you can plant it.
When planting, it should be a little denser than usual, and a little shallower when sowing. The soil should be slightly compacted to avoid bringing out the shells when the seedlings emerge.
Peanut shell is an excellent protective film. It not only protects the peanut kernel from damage by high temperature, high humidity, sunlight, pests, etc., but also reduces nutrient consumption, ventilates and maintains moisture. After mid-term decay, it will become nutrition for the peanut roots and promote the growth of peanuts.
It is expected that production will increase by at least 10% to 20%, perhaps even more.
Because this data is compared with the advanced shelling and planting technology of later generations, it is equivalent to a big step forward, surpassing the advanced shelling and planting technology and moving to the back.
So Xinbao is still very optimistic.
Tang Qingshan had done his homework in advance, and after following her around once, he was now talking to these people. Xinbao and Mrs. Lin were listening not far away. Tang Qingshan's talk was really logical and his language was simple and unsophisticated. It was obvious that he was an expert, not at all like a novice.
The old farmers around nodded their heads repeatedly, and Xinbao also nodded his head repeatedly, their admiration for Daddy was like a torrent of water... while constantly communicating with A Niang: "Daddy is so smart!!"
Madam Lin nodded: "You are right."
"Daddy is so awesome, isn't he?"
"You are right."
"Daddy is so handsome!"
"You are right."
Xinbao rolled his eyes, glanced at his mother, and suddenly said, "Daddy is a bad guy."
“You said…” Madam Lin quickly came back to her senses: “Huh?”
Xinbao laughed and ran away quickly.
Madam Lin chased after her for two steps and made a gesture to her from a distance. Xinbao laughed so hard that her calves became weak and she laughed out loud with her mouth open.
She used to watch Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio and saw that people who were ticklish would die of laughter if a tickling gesture was made from a distance. She always thought it was exaggerated...until now she became a fat ball with ticklish spots all over her body. When Madam Lin made a gesture from a distance, she laughed so hard that her whole body lost strength. Soon, A Niang caught up with her and held her in her arms.
Tang Qingshan explained it once and let everyone digest it slowly. Seeing his daughter looking at him from afar, he clapped his hands at her.
Xinbao immediately ran over and threw herself into her father's arms. Tang Qingshan held her and talked to these people.
Xinbao thought that they would need her, but unexpectedly, no matter what these people asked, Daddy answered fluently... It was completely different from the day when he built the greenhouse.
Because he is a complete "expert" in this matter, it can be inferred that other experts will also be able to listen to him.
The main farming season cannot be delayed, so we can't wait for them to grow before planting them.
Liang Ruoxu said directly: "Fellow villagers, don't worry. Since I, Liang, asked you to do it, it's because it's a good thing, a good thing that can increase production... All the land planted in this way will be compared to the acre of land with the highest yield per acre in your respective villages last year. If the yield per acre does not exceed that, I will make up for it according to the market price. Of course, if there is an excess, I will buy it at three times the market price for every pound. I mean what I say! Don't worry."
When these words were spoken, everyone was shocked.
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
Xinbao couldn't help but turn his head to look at him, his eyes wide open.
He is really courageous. I didn't expect that Liang Ruoxu looks gentle and sometimes a little silly, but he actually does things in a very capable manner.
Although he is very rich, this amount of money is really not a small amount.
However, all things are difficult at the beginning. Of course, it is possible to suppress them by force, but to lure them with benefits is a fatal blow to these poor farmers.
Liang Ruoxu smiled and said, "When it's time to plant, I will send people to teach you. Don't worry about not being able to learn... If everyone pays attention to planting, and it's done well, the whole world will know the name of our Longmen County. Wouldn't that bring honor to our family?"
Liang Ruoxu was good at talking. He even treated these people to a meal at noon. These people, who were rarely honored, went back full of confidence.
Moreover, Liang Ruoxu had already checked the highest per-acre yield of each village last year, and directly wrote a notice with it clearly written in black and white. He then asked someone to make several copies and sent people to post them in each village.
There are literate people in every village. If everyone reads and takes a look, their concerns can be completely dispelled. After all, it is impossible for a master like him to deny his debts.
Then we can let these clan leaders and village heads lead everyone to dry the seeds, break the seeds, and soak the seeds. After three days, we can start planting. During this process, there will be people who have already learned how to go to various villages to teach, and those who don’t know how can just ask directly.
Xinbao's impression of Liang Ruoxu improved a lot.
Because he had previously advised Yan Shenjue to make progress, she had never liked him very much, but now, she felt that he was a really good guy.
Regardless of whether he wanted to use this opportunity to return to power, the people really benefited from it.
Moreover, he did not mention that this method was proposed by Tang Qingshan.
He explained to Tang Qingshan that he was not trying to steal the credit, but it was useless to say it now... When the peanuts were harvested and the yield increased, and everyone was grateful, he would mention Tang Qingshan's name, and everyone's gratitude would be transferred to him.
But if the output does not increase, he will not mention Tang Qingshan's name and take the responsibility himself.
Just for this reason, Xinbao decided to forgive him.
