Chapter 470 (1/2)
Tiao city on the land boundary of Liangzhou is the most suitable place for planting sweet potatoes. Otherwise, it would not have been specially designated as such a big city.
Because it is an important grain producing area, the management system here is naturally quite strict. Anyone who enters the city will be inspected, unless it is a real official.
However, although tiaocheng was an important grain producing area of Dafeng Dynasty, the people here were relatively poor.
Of course, it doesn't mean that you don't have enough to eat. In fact, there is a sweet potato crop. As long as you are not lazy, you won't be hungry.
However, it is only limited to food and clothing. It can not afford to wear new clothes or raise a farm cow for the family every year.
Because the price of sweet potato is much lower than that of other grains, and because of the geology, sweet potato is the most suitable crop here.
There are other food crops that can be planted, but the harvest is unsatisfactory. In contrast, it is not as good as planting sweet potato directly.
And the people in Tiao city didn't expect that the price of sweet potatoes would be so good this year.
Compared with the past, a hundred catties of sweet potato cost ten Wen more, and a hundred catties of sweet potato cost ten Wen more. After calculating, ten catties of sweet potato will cost one more Wen.
This sweet potato is the most pressing hand. How much is ten catties of sweet potato?
For a time, the people of tiaocheng were excited.
But the price is high, but the requirements are also high, smooth surface, no diseases and insect pests, no green head, there are too many insect bites must not.
But it doesn't matter at all, because the Yamen used to pick and choose.
People are picking and don't raise the price, but now these people are picking, but the price is really true. After checking, those who are qualified will be weighed on the spot and then settle the bill.
The people took their hands and gave them half a Liang more than before. What did their mouths look like.
And this is just ordinary, there are many others, this time selling sweet potato earned nearly 35 Liang silver!
Other people advised them to reclaim more wasteland, and many kinds of sweet potatoes are virtual. The money they get is real. No, they are asking whether they will accept it in the coming year or not, and whether they can give this price?
According to Chu Yue's command, all the sweet potato collectors said, ”take it. As long as you plant such good sweet potatoes, the sweet potato city will collect them. After that, you can harvest more varieties.”
Tiao city is basically reclaimed within a hundred miles. It is a veritable sweet potato City, but there is still wasteland outside.
Although it can't be compared with what has been reclaimed by them, sweet potato is easy to feed.
At the same time, the Yamen of tiaocheng also received the imperial edict, and directly posted the emperor's list, saying that the wasteland reclaimed by itself could be reported to the Yamen for three years, and the income from the three years would belong to the people themselves.
After the emperor's list was put up, the people of Tiao city went out with hoes!
For a time, the whole city of Tiao presents a grand scene of reclaiming wasteland.
Chu Yue, who is in tiaocheng, is also very busy.
I don't know how Qin Heng propagandizes her in the capital. Many restaurants belonging to the big families in the capital have come here.
What I do is this sweet potato vermicelli and dried sweet potato.
In fact, the dried sweet potato is just fine, but the sweet potato vermicelli is really good. After all, it is a novel product.
