Chapter 470
The Tiao City on the boundary of Liangzhou is the most suitable place to grow red potatoes, otherwise it would not have been specially designated to have such a large city.
Because it is an important grain output place, the management system here is naturally more strict, and anyone who enters the city will be inspected unless he is a real high-profile official.
However, although Tiaocheng was an important grain production area of the Dafeng Dynasty, the people here were relatively poor.
Of course, it does not mean that you can’t eat enough. In fact, there is a crop like sweet potato. As long as you are not a lazy person, you will basically not go hungry.
But it is only limited to food and clothing. Others who wear new clothes a year or raise a ox for their home can't afford it.
Because the price of crops like red potatoes is much lower than other grains, it is the most suitable for growing red potatoes due to geological reasons.
There are other grain crops that can be planted, but the harvest is not satisfactory. In comparison, it is better to plant red potatoes directly.
The people of Tiaocheng did not expect that the price of red potatoes this year would be so easy to sell.
Compared with the past, a hundred kilograms of red potatoes cost ten cents more, while a hundred kilograms cost ten cents more. If you count the ten kilograms of red potatoes, you will cost ten cents more.
This red potato is the most important thing. How many ten kilograms of red potatoes are?
For a moment, the people in the hundreds of miles of Tiaocheng belonged to were all excited.
But the price is high, but the requirements are also high. The surface is smooth, there are no diseases and pests, and there are no blue heads. If there are too many insects, you must not.
But this doesn't matter at all, because the yamen came to collect it in the past, so it was so picky and choose.
People are picky and choose but don’t raise the price, but although these people are picky now, the price is really good. After checking and passing the test, they will weigh it on the spot and then check it out.
The people held the hand and wanted half a tael of silver to be more than before, and what was the mouth like?
And this is just ordinary, and there are many others. This time I made nearly three or five taels of silver when I sold red potatoes!
The people who advised them to reclaim more wasteland and a variety of red potatoes are all empty, and the money they got is real. So, they are all asking if they will still be charged next year, and whether to give this price?
The red potato harvesters also said as Chu Yue ordered: "Cross it. As long as everyone grows such good red potatoes, the sweet potatoes will be harvested in the city. They will be harvested every year from now on, so everyone can have more variety."
The city of Tiaocheng has basically been reclaimed within a radius of 100 miles. It is a veritable red tao city, but there is also wasteland outside the radius of 100 miles.
Although it is not as good as those that have been cultivated by them, crops like red potato are easy to feed.
At the same time, the yamen in Tiaocheng also received an imperial edict and directly posted an imperial list, saying that the wastelands that were reclaimed can be reported to the yamen, which will be exempted from tax for three years, and all the income from the three years will belong to the people themselves.
After this imperial list was posted, the people of Tiaocheng were told by word of mouth, and they all went out with hoes!
For a time, the entire city of Tiaocheng showed a grand scene of reclaiming wasteland.
Chu Yue, who is in Tiaocheng, is also very busy these days.
I don’t know how Qin Heng promoted her in the capital, but many restaurants and restaurants under the names of big families in the capital have come here.
What I do is this sweet potato vermicelli and dried sweet potatoes.
Dried sweet potatoes are actually just fine, but sweet potato vermicelli is really good, and you will be satisfied with it after all. After all, this is a novel product. 90 read the novel
When these merchants arrived, Chu Yueji sweet potato vermicelli had already produced a lot of finished products. There was also a special vermicelli shop in Tiaocheng, which was also reserved for entertaining these merchants.
There are all kinds of methods, and it is not complicated and very simple. You can try it after you order a plate of fried noodles or soup noodles.
It is precisely because of this that the price is not high. If you ignore the collection and labor costs, you can only make 5 cents per pound of sweet potato vermicelli.
But it can't stand the amount.
One pound of five cents, then ten pounds are fifty cents, one hundred pounds are five hundred cents, and two hundred pounds are one thousand cents, that is, one tael of silver.
Two hundred kilograms of sweet potato vermicelli is just one thousand kilograms of sweet potatoes. One thousand kilograms of sweet potatoes makes one tael of silver. How much profit is spent on it?
The profits of increasing production for the people and the wages of providing stable jobs for urban residents must be included. If you throw away these thousand kilograms of sweet potatoes, you can earn a tael of silver.
This profit is considerable.
The price can actually be set higher, but Chu Yue did not raise the price too high considering the subsequent sustainable development.
After all, it is not easy for others to come here. You always have to leave more profit margins for merchants and travelers so that they can work hard to come to Tiaocheng, right?
But even so, Chu Yue was still thinking that the industrial structure of Tiaocheng is too simple, and even if the price is set at a low price, it is not conducive to long-term development.
So Chu Yue began to study the fermentation of sweet potato residues. One person had a short plan and two had a strong plan. Chu Yue handed over the fermentation of sweet potato residues to the newly arrived Zhou Qingshu and another other young master.
After the two discussed, they posted the list. If anyone can study it, they will be rewarded with ten taels of silver.
After Chu Yue handed these things over to others, she ignored them.
The main thing is to let Tiaocheng raise more pigs. After all, it’s not a pity to have so much sweet potato residue. Moreover, it can not only raise pigs, but also make fertilizer.
Of course, the premise is to get the fermentation out.
She didn't have to worry about these things. Murong Ju had already set out to Zhenhu City a few days ago. Now she is the only one left here, of course Bingye and Yingda.
Chu Yue came to Tiaocheng in a blink of an eye and was almost twenty years old, but she still didn't want to go back.
He sent a letter to Qin Heng every day, and he had to explain her miss every day, but he didn't go back. The reason was open and she said that Tiaocheng had not yet developed and she could not go back.
How could Qin Heng not understand her? He doesn’t want to come back!
For a moment, she was really angry and anxious. This unscrupulous woman was simply unfamiliar with her. However, she was not at all relieved when he treated her so much. She was really a shady person.
He said that Chu Yue was a very dark heart, but he didn't think that after Chu Yue left the palace, Concubine Li was pregnant with Long Si, and then he came from behind that He promised to give birth to the fourth prince.
But He promised that he had a poor life and had no luck at all. He had difficulty giving birth when he gave birth to the fourth prince. Finally, the fourth prince was born, but He promised that he could not survive that.
So Qin Heng ordered the fourth prince to be raised under the name of Concubine De of Jinghui Palace.
After all, it was his own son. Qin Heng also went to see it and stayed in Jinghui Palace by the way. This made Jinghui Palace feel sweet dew after a long drought, and the whole palace was filled with joy.
