Chapter 283: Planting

Lin Yuelan frowned slightly and asked, “You don’t even know nursery and transplantation. Then, how do you plant rice?”

Lin Yuelan hadn’t asked around or had Little Green find out, so she assumed everyone planted rice the modern way. When she heard Jiang Zhennan and Guo Bing’s questions, she realized the problem.

When Jiang Zhennan was guarding the border, he planted rice like other soldiers.

He answered very seriously, “We drop the seeds in the field and wait for them to grow naturally. We have not heard of things like transplantation and nursery before.”

Guo Bing listened very seriously and did not interrupt. Although he had not heard of the farming methods used by Lin Yuelan, he chose to believe her.

Lin Yuelan bluntly pointed out, “if we just directly scatter the seeds in the field, won’t it waste the seeds, and the yield will be low?”

Jiang Zhennan answered honestly, “one mu of land requires at least one to two Si of seeds, but the yield is only three to five Si. And that is during a good year. If we encounter a bad year, it’s likely that we will only get two to three Sis.”

In other words, even if a farmer worked hard for a year, he would only be able to harvest two to four Sis of grain from one mu of land. After deducting all kinds of miscellaneous taxes, the amount of grain that he could keep for himself would only be one to two Sis. In other words, most of the harvest would be handed in as taxes.

Lin Yuelan was slightly surprised. “So little?”

One Si was 106 catties. Planting 100 catties would only yield 300 to 500 catties. 100 catties had to be deducted from the seeds, so the final harvest would be 200 to 400 catties. That was so little.

In modern times, one mu of land could produce at least 1000 catties per Mu.

Jiang Zhennan and Guo Bing were surprised to hear this from Lin Yuelan. Jiang Zhennan asked in excitement, “Then, based on Miss Yue ‘Er’s understanding, how many Si should one Mu of land produce?”

“Seven to eight Si!” Lin Yuelan said firmly.

......

In ancient times, without the use of high-tech chemical fertilizers, it was very difficult to achieve a high yield of 10 Si or 1000 catties. However, seven to eight hundred catties were possible. She had confidence because she had Little Green.

Jiang Zhennan and Guo Bing were shocked to hear Lin Yuelan’s answer.

“That much?”

Suddenly, Jiang Zhennan walked up to Lin Yuelan and lowered his head slightly. He stared at Lin Yuelan’s pure and fair face and said very seriously and sincerely, “Miss Yue ‘Er, the fate of the people will be in your hands!”

What a heavy burden!

She couldn’t afford it.

Lin Yuelan immediately waved her hand and refused, “hey, I can’t bear such a heavy burden.”

Then, she held her chin with her hand, tilted her head, and said, “In any case, my 10 Mus of land will be worked by you.”

Jiang Zhennan and Guo Bing looked at each other and immediately said happily, “okay. We’ll definitely do a good job.”

Lin Yuelan said, “alright. If the harvest is less than seven Sis, you will have to compensate me with silver in the future. ”

Jiang Zhennan and Guo Bing were immediately speechless when they heard this.

According to their calculations, they still owed Lin Yuelan more than three hundred thousand taels of silver. The debt would only pile up even more.

At present, Lin Yuelan only had a few Mus of land. She had so many people at home, so she didn’t plan to hire people for the time being.

Lin Yuelan took out the seeds and handed them to Jiang Zhennan and Guo Bing respectively. “Here are more than 100 catties of seeds. They are for five Mus of them. Take them and soak them well.”

“A hundred catties for five mu of land?” Jiang Zhennan and Guo Bing were really too surprised.

To their understanding, one hundred catties of seeds would only fill up one Mu of land, but Lin Yuelan wanted to cover five Mus.

Guo Bing was puzzled. “Miss Lin, aren’t 100 catties of seeds too little for five Mus of land?”
