"My lord, my lord, it's been a great harvest, a great harvest."
Old Chen's eyes were red. No one in Guizhou Province in this era would know how precious food is.
"Hey, Lao Chen Laila, what do you say?"
Old Chen held the table and took a few deep breaths and said, "Sir, sir, the statistics are out, the yield of corn is 4 and a half shi per mu, the yield of potatoes is 20 shi per mu, the yield of bean sprouts is 2 shi per mu, and the yield of corn is 10 shi per mu."
"15,000 acres of corn yielded a total of 67,500 shi."
"5,000 acres of bean sprouts cost 10,000 shi."
"500 acres of potatoes yield a total of 10,000 shi."
"A total harvest of 5,000 shi from 500 acres of corn."
...........
Seeing Lao Chen's excited look, Yang Qian said calmly, "Oh, just barely. I'm working hard to open up wasteland. After retting next year, the output can increase."
“What, can we add more????”
Yang Qian immediately comforted Lao Chen, fearing that his blood pressure would rise and he would suffer.
Lao Chen relaxed, but he remembered the sound of heavy breathing in the house.
"Little friend, are you really so productive?" King Xia Wen became anxious and stood up immediately.
Yang Qian scratched his chin, frowned and said, "It's not a high yield. If the seeds can be cultivated well and the effectiveness of retting fertilizer is added, the yield of corn can be increased. In fact, five stones is not much."
"It's not much. Normally, people in Guizhou can only grow 2 shi per mu. Sometimes it's less than 2 shi. This is more than twice the amount."
After finishing speaking, King Xia Wen made fists with his hands and said bitterly, "It's a pity, it would be fine if it could be grown all over the country."
"Next year, I will write a letter to the king, mainly because people here don't believe that I can increase production." Yang Qian was helpless when these Guizhou leaders accepted death.
Yang Gan came over, patted King Xia Wen on the shoulder, and said with a smile, "Old Xia, don't be anxious. I'll let Gao Yushi popularize it. Almost every household in Yuntong County will use my method to farm, plus coal." I am confident that no one will freeze to death this winter."
King Xia Wen looked deeply at Yang Qian, his eyes full of complex, joyful, and unwilling emotions.
If his son can be born early, if he is his legitimate son, then Xia Kingdom can definitely become the overlord of the Central Plains.
"Yang Gan, Yang Gan, yo, Lao Xia, you are here too." Fujiko Jin walked over in a hurry.
"What's the matter?"
"The clothes of the Xiongnu, Jie, and Yue clans have been washed."
Yang Gan raised his eyebrows and said in surprise, "So fast? This is hundreds of thousands of clothes."
"We have already used the army to wash the clothes. How can it be faster? They have been continuously transported to the city by horse-drawn carriages." Fujiko Jin said.
Yang Gan asked, "How much do sheepskin clothes cost?"
"It's hard to say. Lamb is more expensive, but ordinary sheepskin is also cheap. The approximate price is 2,000 to 6,000 yuan a piece."
"It's quite expensive."
Yang Qian said, "Let's do it this way. Sell it cheaper, 500 yuan per piece, and 30% of the income will go to me, 60% will go to the army, so that the soldiers can eat better, and 10% will go to the county governor's office, which will be counted as taxes."
"good."
"Yu'er, is there anything else you want to add?"
Xiao Yu frowned in thought and said, "Brother Zi Jin, only locals can buy it. Each person is limited to one piece. If outsiders want to buy it, go elsewhere."

If the seller sells it, the original price will be restored. "
"Our original intention is to prevent the chiefs of Guizhou from freezing to death. The young master is not a king, he is a county guard. He only needs to be responsible for the chiefs of Guizhou in his own county. As for other counties, we are helpless."
"Okay." Fujiko Jin immediately ran to handle it.
King Xia Wen and the other four nodded in surprise. Looking at Xiao Yu, they couldn't help but marvel that this woman's plan was so clever, eliminating the need for others to profit from selling.
Yang Gan pointed at Xiao Yu proudly, "How about it? I have good taste."
"This woman is a talented woman, her strategy is not inferior to that of ordinary Jiuqing. Do you know which girl she is from?" Qu Xiuwen asked curiously.
Xiao Yu looked at Yang Qian, whose eyes were clear. She nodded and said, "I'm just a nobody. I used to be the number one in a nearby brothel."
"This~~~~!"
The four of them looked at each other, wondering how a brothel girl could have such an extraordinary plan.
Yang Gan patted Xiao Yu on the shoulder to encourage him, "No matter what your background, I only look at your ability."
"Yes, yes, women are actually not weaker than men. Women can hold up half the sky." Zhang Yumeng jumped up immediately. There are actually female boxers in this era, so of course she also wants to punch, right?
Immediately, the expressions of King Xia Wen and others changed. Yang Qian knew how to read other people's expressions, and immediately said angrily, "You are so presumptuous, you have no right to speak here. Listen carefully and don't be verbose."
As soon as they saw Yang Gan reprimanding Zhang Yumeng, King Xia Wen and others' expressions improved.
Zhang Yumeng didn't know what was going on and didn't answer anything.
Feeling a little hungry, Yang Gan said, "By the way, everyone hasn't eaten yet. Lao Chen, go get some pork and some other things."
"Especially if you make a little bit of the corn and potatoes and turn the rest into seeds, next year, it will be no problem to plant them all in Yuntong County, not to mention the entire Xia Kingdom."
As soon as he mentioned pork, King Xia Wen immediately salivated. Qu Xiuwen and Xue Kang'an also licked their lips involuntarily. The smell of braised pork had reminded the three of them many times.
Unfortunately, the piglet found in Chaoxian was castrated not long ago and was only half-grown.
Wang Jian showed a look of disgust on his face. Although he was in the army, he was still a hussar general. Whether in the army or at court, he almost never worried about food.
While everyone was chatting, Wang Jian pulled Qu Xiuwen aside and said angrily, "What are you doing now? How can you eat such despicable food as pork?"
Qu Xiuwen was stunned for a moment, then he smiled and said, "Hey, General Wang, that's not what you said. Young Master said, there is no right or wrong in food. It's only good or bad, nutritious or not. Wait, don't follow me." I'll grab it."
Wang Jian curled his lips, "The devil is trying to steal it from you. What's so delicious about fishy and saucy meat?"
Among Zhuangzi, Yang Qian had a higher status, and the others were heads of Guizhou. Even Ou Yexia was just a craftsman and had no official position.
In addition, Yang Qian is still the owner here, so many good things must be presented here first.
Yang Qian specially asked Zhang Yumeng to call everyone in to eat and drink. Cases were taken out from the warehouse and placed neatly.
After everyone filed in, the atmosphere became lively. It would take time to eat meat, but the drinks could be served immediately. When Wang Jian finished off a cup of General Lieutenant in one gulp.
"Ouch~~~!"
A wave of heat rushed out of his stomach, which was suppressed by his strong endurance.
"Good wine~~~~!" Wang Jian
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
His eyes widened, he exhaled a breath of relief with a look of relief on his face.
"General Wang, this is General Retsu, invented by our young master." Fujiko Jin said with a smile.
"Oh? Master, can you still make wine?"
"It's nothing, it's nothing." Yang Qian waved his hand with an indifferent look on his face.
"Oh, you are really the Versailles." Zhang Yumeng said with a smile.
Yang Gan said secretly, "I just got here and I don't know how to do this. I have no choice but to make money to support my family. Otherwise, I can't afford to support so many people."
"De Xing... After I collect the materials, I will make beer for you." Zhang Yumeng said with a stern look on his face.
Yang Gan was shocked, "Can you really make beer?"
"Oh, it's very simple. Barley malt, wheat malt, and hops are brewed through liquid gelatinization and saccharification, and then liquid fermentation. It's not complicated. You just need to build a special brewing machine."
Yang Qian couldn't help but shook his head in admiration, "Why are you so awesome? You know everything?"
Zhang Yumeng wondered, "Do you know more than me? I'm surprised. You know everything about ancient times, including smelting technology, cold weapon forging, and water conservancy facilities."
Yang Gan took a sip of wine and sighed, "You know what? These were my old hobbies. Unfortunately, I couldn't make money, so I could only treat them as hobbies. If it weren't for making money, I might have gone to Longquan to learn the technology of making weapons. My dream was to be a swordsmith."
Zhang Yumeng looked confused, "You can make money, but can't swords be bought and sold?"
"There is no one with a handicraft production license. A good swordsmith can earn tens of thousands a month, but it's all hard-earned money."
"You can find the right path by traveling to ancient times. Look at me, I studied Western medicine. Without medical equipment, is it difficult for me to check others' pulses?"
"I also know some knowledge about mechanical power, but in this era, there are not even machine tools. I would also have a headache if it was in a modern factory."
"Put the raw materials directly into the machine tool and enter the data on the computer. If the parts cannot be machined, it is just a difference in accuracy."
Yang Gan touched his chin, shook his head and said with a smile, "How come you, a girl, know so much about machinery that you can even design the gears of a new triangular leaf harvester."
"My grandfather used to run a repair shop, so I have been working with machines and other things since I was a child, but it later closed down."
Suddenly, Zhang Yumeng seemed to think of something and said dissatisfied, "Wait a minute, you were just mean to me."
Yang Qian covered his head. No matter how angry a woman is, it's always that point.
He whispered, "Jie, what's wrong with you? Didn't you see that when you said that women can hold up half the sky, did Lao Xia and the others' expressions change?"
Zhang Yumeng wondered, "Am I telling the truth? We women can give birth..."
"Oh, female boxer, stop playing around. I can still withstand a punch from you with five years of skill."
"Then how can we women live a life that satisfies you men?"
"Hey, this punch is already ten years old. I beg you not to play pastoral feminism here. We have to adapt to this society. I didn't notice that you are still a female boxer."
Zhang Yumeng stuck out her tongue and said with a smile, "I'm just kidding, I was shocked when you yelled at me like that just now."
"Who told you to speak freely? You can say anything with me. When outsiders are around, can you restrain yourself? Otherwise, I will be impeached and I will be in trouble. You don't want to see me always being your back. Be a pot man."
