Chapter 712 Winery
Lan Ruozhu was stunned for a moment, followed by the movements of his hands, "Rapeseed oil?"
Lan Ruozhu doesn't know much about farming.
A lot of farming and agricultural knowledge is read in books.
But not very detailed in the book.
Actually, Lan Ruozhu really wanted to know more about farming and agriculture, the more detailed the better.
Because he knew that the most important thing to keep the people fed and clothed was farming.
It's just this time, what my sister told him made him understand a lot at once, and he wanted to hear more.
"But I remember we used to eat peanut oil, didn't we?"
Su Binglan explained: "That's because people didn't know that there was rapeseed oil before, and rapeseed can also be used for oil, so they used peanut oil to eat."
"Although rapeseed oil is not as fragrant as peanut oil, the yield per mu of rapeseed oil is higher than that of peanuts, and there is more oil for frying."
"That is to say, the oil produced by planting an acre of flowers is not as much as the oil produced by planting an acre of rapeseed."
"The villagers in our village planted a lot of rapeseed last year, and now I go to the fields to see that some of them are almost ripe."
Now if you look into the ground in the distance, you can see the green scenery, which is very beautiful.
Su Binglan thought that everyone would start harvesting rapeseed at the end of January and early February. After the land was poured out, it would be ready for cultivation in the spring.
Lan Ruozhu listened very seriously. Hearing this, his expression changed and he asked with some doubts: "Isn't it all spring planting and autumn harvesting, is rapeseed harvested at this time?"
Su Binglan excitedly explained to Lan Ruozhu: "Brother, this is a good thing, rapeseed can be planted twice a year, that is to say, after the autumn harvest, after the land is free, you can plant rapeseed, harvest it in spring, and then plough in spring, It doesn't matter at all."
Hearing this, Lan Ruozhu's eyes lit up, and his heart was a little excited, and his mood was agitated, "In this way, everyone doesn't need to use oil for peanuts, and can save the ground for growing peanuts and use them to grow other crops. After the autumn harvest, pour out the land and plant rapeseeds, so that you can grow more rapeseeds and plant more oil."
"I've beaten too much oil and I can't finish it, so I can sell it."
"In this way, there will be excess oil sold in the market, and ordinary people will not be short of oil and salt."
With two crops a year, the same amount of land can grow twice as much.
With the popularization of , coupled with the encouragement of wasteland reclamation, the entire Dingzhou agriculture developed.
At this time, Lan Ruozhu was overwhelmed with excitement.
"Alright, sister, did you come up with this method?"
Su Binglan said with a smile: "Occasionally I found rapeseed in the back mountain, and I thought of this."
Lan Ruozhu gave his sister a thumbs up, "She's still amazing."
He remembered something from his childhood.
He remembered that when he was a child, his younger sister was very smart. The two of them read books together, but she could understand a lot of things he didn't understand.
Lan Ruozhu looked at her sister at this time and said excitedly: "Sister, tell me more about farming, so that I can know a lot."
Su Binglan smiled and said, "Brother, why don't you stay here for a few more days, and I'll show you around to see the rapeseed on the mountain."
"When the spring ploughing comes, you can also come over to see how everyone grows crops, and you can also understand a little bit."
Su Binglan knew that his brother would not live here forever. As King Ding, he had a lot of things to do.
But you can come here during spring plowing.
Lan Ruozhu nodded without hesitation: "Okay."
He knows more about this, and he will know how to issue some decrees that are good for the people in the future.
He hoped that in the territories under his jurisdiction, the people would be able to eat enough, wear warm clothes, and live and work in peace and contentment.
That way, he will feel that he has done something meaningful.
Now that he has become King Ding, he must seek welfare for the people.
Lan Ruozhu listened to Su Binglan saying this, turning the stone mill in his hand did not feel tired, instead he was very energetic.
Lan Ruozhu started to practice martial arts and to keep fit after getting better.
So there is nothing to do with that little effort.
And by doing this, he can understand the hardships of the villagers more deeply.
Always remind yourself to love the people like a child.
Lan Ruozhu seemed to think of something and said, "It's easy to grow grain and crops in the plains, and it's easy to open up wasteland, but in those hilly places, it's not very good to grow crops."
Some places in Dingzhou are hills, where food production is low.
Lan Ruozhu was also a little worried about the people over there.
Su Binglan's expression changed and said, "Brother, if it is a hill, you can plant tea or fruit trees."
"In such a place, the fruit trees planted should be sweeter."
Lan Ruozhu regained his spirits and said excitedly, "Fruit trees?"
"There are many fruits in summer, but few fruits in winter. What kind of fruits are suitable for growing in hills?"
Su Binglan smiled and said, "Peach, apricot, apple, kiwi, cherries, grapes, etc."
"I know all about peaches, apricots, and apples, but what are kiwi cherries? And aren't grapes all the tributes from Fanbang?"
The grapes are very precious, and they are only available when Fanbang pays tribute.
All the dignitaries eat these, ordinary people can't eat grapes at all.
Su Binglan also felt a little excited when she thought of grapes.
Grapes are a good thing, and they can also make wine.
Su Binglan wants to get a wine estate.
If a place is dedicated to growing grapes, it is possible to build a wine estate.
Su Binglan's eyes brightened when she thought that she could build a wine estate.
But at this time Lan Ruozhu was still looking at her without blinking, waiting for her to clear up her confusion.
Even Liu Yinyin and Su Wenzhe next to them listened with great interest.
So many fruits?
And grapes?
They have heard of grapes, that only people in the palace can eat that kind of fruit.
Can this kind of thing be grown?
They didn't dare to think that they could eat these before, but with their sister here, they believed they would definitely be able to eat them.
My sister will definitely be able to figure out how to plant it.
And when they looked at their sister and said this, they also had a confident look on their faces.
means that my sister must have a solution.
In everyone's heart, there is nothing that my sister can't.
Lan Ruozhu was puzzled, but looked at Su Binglan with expectant eyes.
He was wondering if his sister could surprise him.
Su Binglan looked at everyone's eyes and understood what everyone was thinking.
To be honest, she also wanted to eat these fruits.
Su Binglan said: "These fruits can be grown by themselves. I have all methods of planting, but I have to find the seeds first."
Lan Ruozhu frowned and said, "I can arrange for someone to go to Fanbang to get grape seeds."
Some people have tried to grow grapes here before, but no one knows how to grow them.
As long as his sister knows how to plant, he can get grape seeds.
Su Binglan knew that his brother had a group of people who could get it.
But if she can find these seeds in the back mountain, she can grow these fruits.
