Chapter 711： Reserve grain

Chapter 711 Food Reserve

That's it, Su Binglan and Lan Ruozhu were grinding glutinous rice while talking.

Su Binglan wanted his brother to know some things about ordinary people, so that he would become a good emperor in the future and would know how to feel sorry for ordinary people.

Lan Ruozhu did this, and he had a lot of feelings in this moment.

So he knew that being born in Prince Ding’s mansion, it was actually pretty good to be born with brocade clothes and jade food.

But knowing this, knowing this, he understands what he wants to do.

He wanted to open up a peaceful and prosperous world. He wanted the people to have cotton-padded clothes in winter and food in summer, so that everyone could have enough to eat and wear, and could live and work in peace and contentment.

This was a strong thought in his heart.

Before, he just wanted to take revenge, to protect his sister, and to make her the most honorable person, so he wanted to sit in that position.

But now, he really wants to sit in that position and wants the people to live a life of peace and contentment.

He didn't like war either, and he didn't want the people to experience war.

Lan Ruozhu thought about a lot at this time, and his heart was full of emotions.

Lan Ruozhu said: "Sister, when will the spring ploughing?"

Su Binglan said while pouring the ground glutinous rice slurry into the bucket: "Spring ploughing is usually in February and March, late February and early March. If it happens to rain and the ground is fully drenched, everyone will follow the rain. Later time tilling crops and vegetables.”

"But if it doesn't rain, everyone has to carry water to irrigate the land, and then cultivate. It is more difficult to carry water to irrigate the land."

"Everyone is busy for a long time."

Su Binglan has memories of her childhood and knows how hard her parents worked during the spring plowing.

also know that when the weather is good, the villagers can work less hard and have a good harvest.

But if there are droughts and floods, if the crops planted are busy for a whole year, the crops may dry out or die from waterlogging.

That is very difficult for the villagers.

Some of them can't even eat.

will starve to death.

Last year, when the autumn started, there was no rain, which made the villagers anxious.

So at that moment, Su Binglan used her spiritual energy to make thunder and rain.

That day, she heard cheers from the village.

Everyone ran out of the house when they heard it was raining, and they all got excited in the yard.

She still remembered the scene at that time.

So for the villagers who grow crops, good weather is very important.

Although she is now building a workshop and a factory, the foundation of ordinary people's life is food.

still needs to be cultivated.

Therefore, Su Binglan has already prepared high-yield crops, and will let the grandfather send them to everyone to plant.

If this kind of crop is mass-produced, there will be more food and Dingzhou will be prosperous.

Because when he went to Fucheng before, Su Binglan knew that not every place was like Suteng Village today.

Many counties, towns and villages are relatively remote.

And there is a lot of food, even if there is a war, Dingzhou is not afraid, because they will have enough food.

The emperor gave this place to his brother as a fief because Dingzhou was barren and barren.

But she wants to make this place the granary of the world.

Su Binglan thought about this, and her blood was surging.

Lan Ruozhu said: "I will reduce the tax a little more so that everyone can eat and wear warmly."

Su Binglan said: "Brother, you have reduced taxes several times. I heard from my parents that in Dingzhou, there is almost no need to pay much food. After paying the food, everyone can leave a lot."

"But for Dingzhou to be peaceful and stable, it needs money, food, and military power."

Su Binglan knew that Prince Ding's mansion had kept a lot of gold and silver, which was more than the national treasury.

It was all prepared by her and her brother in advance.

Military strength is also there, because she previously trained an army for her brother.

The most important thing is food.

Lan Ruozhu also understands this, "It is indeed necessary to reserve more food."

Su Binglan thought for a while and said, "Brother, we actually have a lot of wasteland in Dingzhou, and every place has wasteland. Brother can issue a decree to support everyone in reclaiming wasteland."

"For example, if anyone is willing to reclaim wasteland, everyone will distribute grain seeds corresponding to the number of acres. The wasteland they open belongs to them, and the first three years are tax-free. In this case, many people will be willing to cultivate."

Lan Ruozhu's mind moved, and said excitedly: "Sister, you have a good way."

He was thinking just now that Dingzhou does have a lot of wasteland, how to encourage everyone to reclaim the wasteland.

If it is only to reduce or exempt taxes, there may not be people who are really willing to reclaim wasteland.

Because land reclamation is not that easy.

Sometimes the soil in wasteland is not fertile, and even if the wasteland is cultivated, some crops will not grow.

So even if there is a policy, many people may not implement it.

But if you do as my sister said, there will definitely be many people willing to farm.

"It's still my sister who understands farming."

"But there are wastelands where crops are grown, but the crops don't grow."

Even if everyone buys and sells land, there are good and bad ones, and good ones are definitely more expensive.

Su Binglan had a confident look on his face, and the corner of his mouth raised a smile and said: "Brother, you don't have to worry about this, sweet potatoes, potatoes and high-yield rice are very easy to grow."

But Lan Ruozhu seemed to think of something, and was still worried, and said, "Now it's mainly a problem of seeds, there are not so many seeds."

Even if Prince Ding’s mansion went out to buy grain seeds, it might not be able to buy enough seeds.

Be aware that Dingzhou really has a lot of wasteland.

This requires a lot of seeds.

Su Binglan even thought about this.

If she didn't think about it, she wouldn't mention this to her brother.

"Don't worry, brother, sweet potatoes, potatoes and rice can be planted in spring and harvested in autumn, or planted in autumn and harvested in a few months."

"Now I can send these seeds to the villagers in the surrounding villages for cultivation. At that time, I can directly produce several thousand catties per mu. Brother, think about how many potatoes and sweet potatoes this whole piece can have."

"At that time, Prince Ding's mansion will come forward to purchase a large number of them, and then distribute them to the people who open up wasteland. It doesn't need to be much. Each person can have seeds per mu of land, and they can plant them in autumn."

"There is also rice, and the same is true of rice grown in early spring, and the yield will be very high."

Lan Ruozhu has eaten sweet potatoes and potatoes, and knows what these two things are.

My sister also said before that this kind of thing is easy to grow and has high yield. If the people of Dingzhou plant this kind of thing, everyone will be able to eat.

My sister said that the yield of rice is also very high.

If someone else told Lan Ruozhu this, Lan Ruozhu might not believe it.

But his sister told him that he would definitely believe it.

"Okay, okay, my sister has a way."

He always knew that his sister was smart and knew everything, but he didn't expect to know farming, which made him so excited.

Su Binglan seemed to think of something, and said: "By the way, brother, rapeseeds are planted in the villages around us. This can be used for oil. There are many kinds of rapeseeds. You can also arrange for someone to buy some rapeseed seeds. Although not many, you can also distribute them to those People who open up a lot of wasteland, tell them how much the output is and how much oil they can make."
