Chapter 136 Sweet Potato Prosperity

After all, Gongsun Sheng is a Taoist, not an agronomist, and he doesn't understand these things.

It will not take a day to plant about 300 acres of wheat-stubble sweet potatoes.

Chao Bin arranged fifty people to cut off the branches and fifty people planted them in the wheat stubble field not far away.

Chao Gai guided him from the side and explained the details.

Gongsun Sheng was still a little worried. The weather was hot, the sun was scorching the earth, and the sweet potato seedlings soon wilted after they were planted.

"The Taoist priest doesn't need to worry. The sweet potato has a very strong vitality and will be restored in three to five days."

There are many key points in planting sweet potatoes, and it is very particular about keeping them. Generally, you can only use the wheat stubble field with pruned seedlings on the branches.

Spring sweet potatoes have high yields and are large in size, which is very suitable for consumption. They can be steamed and cooked, sliced ​​and dried, but they are not suitable for retaining seeds.

Summer sweet potatoes have low yields and are small in size, but they are most suitable for keeping seeds. The sweet potatoes grown are not prone to rot.

The simpler the thing is, the more you need to pay attention to the details. If you don’t point it out, you may have to explore it for more than ten or even decades.

Gongsun Sheng sighed a little: "The harvest of sweet potatoes is a foregone conclusion. I will keep 300 mu of planting this year and 10,000 mu of planting next year. If there is no more famine in the Central Plains in a few years, the world will be prosperous. No wonder Ziweixing shines brightly last night."

Chao Gai shook his head: "The prosperous era of sweet potatoes is what a prosperous era. You cannot eat bran and drink thinning. The most important purpose of sweet potatoes is to be used as feed and processing. Raise more pigs, raise more sheep, and raise more poultry. At that time, you can't finish beef and mutton, chickens, ducks and geese. You can learn less, use them for strongness, and raise them for old age. This is the real prosperous era."

Gongsun Sheng was so happy to refute that it was not so easy to eat meat. Suddenly I remembered what the master said, this is a blessing for luck, and people will have great luck in everything they do.

"What my brother said is that potatoes and sweet potatoes alone are enough to have a surplus. You can take out more food to feed livestock, chickens and ducks. In the past few days, the tents in the four villages of Chaojiazhuang have been built, with a total of 423 households and a population of 2,100. All have been arranged for work, and none of them starve to death."

"The Taoist priest is compassionate and admirable. If you have any problems, you can find a housekeeper. If you can't solve it, go to Dongping Mansion to find me. Money is nothing but something outside of your body. You must spend what you should spend."

"Oh, the children and a small number of old men in the village were ragged and had no summer clothes, so why don't my brother allocate some."

"Okay, Taoist priest will count how much fabric you need, and I will arrange for people to do it. The elderly will arrange for public order at the entrance of the village to strictly prevent thieves.

Children under seven years old will be given free of charge, and children over eight years old must use three baskets of grass to the fish pond to exchange for a set of summer clothes."

"Thank you brother, this will also cultivate the children's gratitude."

Chao Gai is not that little bit of grass. He must have principles, methods, and blindly give unconditional efforts. It is easy for people to develop a proper mentality.

Give someone an apple every day, and suddenly one day he doesn't give it to him, and he will feel that someone else owes him an apple.

Chao Gai’s principle is to help you get the urgent and not the poor. If you are poor, I can give you cattle, horses, animals, houses, seeds, and farm tools. But in the future, you have to pay back what you have to pay back. If you can’t pay back, you will pay it back separately. If you can’t pay it back slowly, it will not be given to you for nothing.

In winter, fish and meat are produced in the farm. But when you are fine, you have to go to the pig farm and fish pond to send some weeds.

The peppers grown in spring have begun to grow fruits. The pepper seeds are very small, and a total of thousands of acres of peppers have been planted. In addition to leaving 100 acres for planting, the rest are used to provide raw materials for restaurants and pickle shops.

Today, Chao Gai invited Gongsun Sheng to have a meal at home and picked a few green peppers from the ground.

This is to make the famous dish for Gongsun Sheng, spicy and sour potato shredded potatoes.

Gongsun Sheng looked at it and shook his head: "Brother, let's change the dish and eat spicy and sour potato shreds every day."

"That's it, let's make some pepper shredded pork today, and Dazhuang goes to the inn to cut some lean meat and get back."

Gongsun Sheng was not afraid of chewing, and drank some wine and ate side dishes with Chao Gai. He was so beautiful. Suddenly, he remembered something. The master had not done anything yet. Luo Zhenren told Gongsun Sheng to go and beat Zhang San, but after Gongsun Sheng came, he helped the victims and forgot them.

"Brother, I heard that there is a bad guy named Zhang San. He did all the bad things on the ground. Do you know where he is?"

Zhang San? Zhang San in the world has no 100,000 or 80,000.

However, Zhang San, Chao Gai, who did a lot of bad things, really knew one. Even monks could throw them into the cesspool near Daxiangguo Temple. He had no antibiotics these days, and when a few mouthfuls of dirty water choked into his lungs, he might have died. Zhang San must be a villain.
