In addition to Zhang and Li, two fellow countrymen, there are also a few new faces.

After Li Cong's introduction, Yi Mingxue learned the identities of several people. They were basically gentry elders from nearby villages and towns.

When they heard about the winter rice grown in Dahe Village, they all felt it was amazing.

Moreover, it was almost time for spring planting, so of course they had to make early plans.

During the days when Yi Mingxue was squatting, this group of people had gone to the rice fields in Dahe Village to observe countless times.

Now that the fields of winter rice are all full of ears, I'm afraid it will be harvested in just over a month.

Although this matter is unbelievable, the facts are before our eyes.

There is no room for them not to believe it.

Therefore, everyone can’t wait to join the ranks of planting rice.

Now that they saw Yi Mingxue, they all naturally flocked to her and clamored to breed with her.

Of course Yi Mingxue would not refuse. If she wanted to grasp the lifeline of food, the wider the planting area, the better.

So she simply stood on the stone bench and announced loudly.

"Everyone, please be patient. The rules of cooperation must be clear to everyone. If you have no objections, please go to our Village Chief Li to register."

"When the time comes, I will distribute the rice seedlings according to the number of acres registered in each village and ensure that everyone can plant them before spring plowing."

"That's great!" With her words, everyone's heart dropped completely.

After all, according to common practice, if any village has such good seedlings and technology, they must either hide them or spend a lot of money to purchase them.

But Yi Mingxue was different. Not only was she willing to provide seedlings, she would also eventually purchase the grain at market prices.

It's no wonder that her car dealership is so successful.

Such a person deserves to be rich.

The village elders were full of praise for Yi Mingxue, and they rushed to Li Cong on the spot and clamored to register.

Li Cong recorded it in an orderly manner, and at the same time, he did not forget to take time to chat with Yi Mingxue about serious matters.

"Da Ya! What about the land on the east side of our village? What do you think is suitable for planting?"

Yi Mingxue was already prepared for this. She took out two potatoes and placed them in front of him.

"Although the East Mountain is more fertile than the West Mountain, it is still essentially sandy land. Of course, potatoes must be grown on the sandy land."

"Potato? What is that?" Everyone on the side had never heard of this thing and couldn't help but curiously asked.

Yi Mingxue didn't explain much. She just said that it was a crop imported from Southeast Asia and that she got the mother seed by chance.

After learning that this dark thing was edible, several of the villagers immediately slapped the table.

"Sandy land is suitable for growing these potatoes? Most of our village is sandy! Great, I want to grow these potatoes too!"

Li Cong was dumbfounded by him, "Then are you still planting these eight acres of rice?"

"Plant!" The person who spoke immediately answered, "Plant rice in the fields and potatoes in the mountains! Plant them all!"

"Haha——" The old man spoke with an accent and an eager tone, which immediately made the others throw their heads up and laugh.

Yi Mingxue did not hide it, and all those who were willing to grow potatoes were registered together.

Everyone stayed in Dahe Village for four or five days during this trip.

In the end, not only the rice was successfully planted in the fields, but also the sandy land on the mountain, which had no hope at first, was planted, and naturally everyone was smiling.

And Yi Mingxue felt equally happy when she looked at the rising planting area on the registration list.

The scene was very happy.

As soon as the village elders left, Yi Mingxue called Li Cong directly.

He said, "Gather all the nimble women in the village and I will train a few experts in raising seedlings."

As the area she cultivates expands, the task of cultivating seedlings becomes more arduous.

There are more than 200 acres of farmland registered today alone.

Including the villages that Chen Xiang Lao organized years ago, including Dahe Village and Shanjia Village, she now plans to cultivate more than 300 acres of rice fields.

Based on the world's previous seed quality and planting technology, one acre of land could produce approximately three hundred kilograms of grain.

The seeds she gave have been transformed by modern technology and blessed by her spiritual power.

Instead of talking about a thousand catties per mu, a conservative estimate of eight hundred catties is absolutely possible.

That means that during this summer's harvest, the total output of all villages can reach 240,000 catties.

Even if farmers have paid rent, paid taxes, and saved enough food for their family for a year, they can still sell 40 to 50% to Yi Mingxue.

That is one hundred thousand catties of grain.

You know, this is only the first season's harvest.

She has not yet told everyone that her rice is a super high-quality rice that can be grown twice a year.

This means that she can have a stable supply of at least 200,000 kilograms of grain every year.

And that’s not counting future increases.

By then, I'm afraid all the grain merchants in the southwest region will have to hand her tea obediently.

…

That night, Yi Mingxue compiled a book on how to grow potatoes.

Including how to cut seeds, how to dig holes, how to bury soil, and how to water.

Even how to judge the health of potatoes based on their leaves, and how to save seeds for next year after harvesting, are all clearly recorded in the book.

She will control the core of rice cultivation in order to have a strong trump card in troubled times.

But if the cultivation of potatoes can be popularized, more poor people can have enough to eat.

This can be regarded as the survival weapon she left for these hard-working and honest people.

After all, we are together in troubled times.

Those in power only care about their ambitions and hegemony, and who would lower their heads to look at these humble and insignificant stepping stones that are flying everywhere after being trampled by horses?

Li Cong is really reliable in his work.

In less than half a day, all the unemployed women in the village were summoned.

Yi Mingxue spent a whole day teaching them the steps of cultivating seedlings.

They were also advised to build a small greenhouse using rammed earth in their own yards, which would help increase the success rate of seedling cultivation.

Of course, the most critical seeds are still provided by her, including the water for making culture soil. She will also prepare it in advance.

Today's Dahe villagers all have indescribable trust and admiration for Yi Mingxue.

Anyway, it’s whatever she says, and they do whatever she says.

Considering that she would have very little time to return to the village in the future, Yi Mingxue simply chose a person in charge and delegated her power.

"Now every village wants to buy our seedlings. This is a good opportunity for everyone to make money."

"From today on, Aunt Zhu will be the leader of your breeding team. The seedlings you have raised must be handed over to her, and I will settle your wages based on the number of plants she counted."

She has been observing Zhu Boniang for a long time. Even though she is usually very gossipy, it seems that there is nothing in the village that she doesn't know about.

But in fact, she is very popular, especially with the women in the village.

Being able to have a good relationship with all women shows that she has methods and means.

So Yi Mingxue felt relieved as this matter was left to her.

Zhu Auntie was a little flattered at first, but she soon calmed down amidst the cheers of the crowd.

She rubbed her hands in embarrassment, then looked at Yi Mingxue, and said seriously, "Then I'll be careful, and from now on, I'll call you my boss!"

After saying that, he called out seriously, "Master!"

Yi Mingxue: "..."

Okay, it’s very ceremonial.
