After dinner, Yun Wu followed He Lianjue to see the greenhouses in his house. Good guy, the seven or eight greenhouses are different and all cost a lot of money. Not to mention ordinary people, even those with a little money may not be able to afford it.
.
Yun Wu looked at all the greenhouses carefully, wondering if some things could be replaced with cheaper ones.
It is not difficult to find a secret room. If you don’t have a house, you can use a cellar. Anyway, there are many cellars in Daxia, and ordinary people also use cellars to store vegetables.
Digging trenches in the cellar and using thermal fertilizers to heat the cellar is too difficult and the most expensive.
How much fertilizer will be spent to keep the cellar warm? Besides, once you decide to plant, you can't just plant a little. Planting a little will cost a lot, but the harvest will be small.
Is there any way to heat up a cellar at a fraction of the cost?
Yun Wu searched her brain and found that there were many methods, but none of them were suitable for ordinary people. If the people were asked to spend money to grow winter vegetables when they were not very full, they would definitely not do it.
What if I could make money with this?
The investment to make this money would be a bit high, so this method may not start with ordinary people yet.
Yun Wu thought about it all night, and the next day she gave He Lianfeng a fertilizer encyclopedia.
Seed screening and some methods before seed sowing are recorded in it.
"You give this to the King of Daxia and suggest him to implement it as soon as possible. Your country should have already harvested all the grains at this time, and it is estimated that the second season of grains has not been planted.
First make fertilizer according to the above, fertilize the soil, and plant according to the above next spring.
You have also seen the production in Dajiang Village, which can increase production by 30 to 50%."
He Lianfeng took it and looked at it. Although he didn't recognize the names of some things, he could still understand the general method.
He said with some hesitation: "Give it to me now...I may not be able to give you that much for that good war horse now."
"Just give as much as you can, hurry up and breed, and you will have a foal next year. The sooner you start farming, the better."
He Lianfeng was still hesitant: "Should I give him to my father directly? I still want to implement it myself, so that the people can remember the achievements I made..."
"What's the use of people remembering it? Your father can decide who to give the throne to with a piece of paper. If you present it in front of the court, all the civil and military officials will also remember that it was you who presented it.
You told me before that you don’t know anything about farming, and you said that the emperor doesn’t need to be able to do everything. What can you do if you take over? It’s better to let someone who knows this do it.”
"All right."
He Lianfeng actually didn't want to care about this kind of thing. He really didn't know anything about farming, and he didn't want to be like Minghua, a pretty, white and tender girl who went to work in the fields and made herself look bad.
"By the way, do you know some of the landowners outside the imperial city? If not, send someone to find some. I want to discuss business with them."
He Lianfeng: "You came to our Daxia, but it turned out that you came to do business. You are not a businessman."
"There is no conflict between running a country and doing business. Which emperor or noble family does not have their own business? Don't say you don't have it?"
"Yes, yes, but I don't need to take care of it. You are the heart of the regent. Why do you need to discuss business with people in person? The regent will let you see your foreigner like this?"
That guy is very stingy.
"My regent is not as stingy as you say. He fully supports me. You can help me find some landowners outside the city. It doesn't take much financial resources, just some money. It's best if they are easy to talk to."
"These landowners are very smart. They are not easy to talk to. They only do things when it is profitable."
"Just help me find someone. Get ready quickly. We will set off in two days to see the most lively and prosperous fantasy land."
He Lianfeng ordered them to go down, and his people quickly found several landowners outside the city. Yun Wu met them and told them about growing vegetables in the greenhouse.
When several landowners heard that the cost would be so high, they were not very happy.
"The cost is indeed not small, but this thing is worth a lot of money. There are so many aristocratic and wealthy families in Guanzhong who think of fresh vegetables and fruits in winter. Do you think they will be willing to spend a lot of money to buy it.
After the greenhouse cellar is built, it will not only be used once, but can be used all the time next year. You only need to pound the peppercorns and mud and paint a wall when building the cellar.
Pour hot water and hot fertilizer together, and the heat will fill the whole house. The peppercorns are particularly effective at insulating heat. Once you pour it on, it can keep it warm for more than ten hours."
The landowners exclaimed: "Princess, do you know how expensive Sichuan peppercorns are? We can't use Sichuan peppercorns to paint walls."
Yun Wu knew it wasn't cheap, but it wasn't as expensive as killing them.
"I came to you to discuss this. This is a hugely profitable business. If you really can't afford the peppercorns, then you might as well build a greenhouse with hollow walls."
"The wall is made hollow, and then pipes that can carry hot air are arranged inside. You only need to burn firewood in the stove, and the whole house can be heated.
You must all have a lot of houses at home, or you would dig tunnels underground to lay out pipes for heating, making them look like fire dragons."
Landowner No. 2: "But Princess, these methods of yours are too expensive. Can you make back your money by spending so much money on growing vegetables?"
"It does cost some money to build it for the first time, but after it's built, you can use it for decades. If you spread it out every year, it won't be much."
She knew that ancient times were a bit backward, with no fire dragon heaters or anything like that. It was actually quite cold in the early autumn season now.
But she looked around the Grand Prince's Mansion and didn't see any fire dragons or anything like that. In winter, she heard that they could only rely on burning charcoal for heating.
Burning charcoal for heating is not as comfortable as a fire dragon.
"And after laying out the fire dragon, you can use the firewood area to boil water for cooking. You will make the best use of it and not waste too much.
Except for the initial money spent to build the Earth Fire Dragon, the rest is only a small amount of money, but there is no way to do business without investing money.
Are you sure you don’t want this method of making huge profits?
Don't wait for others to use it and make money, and you will regret it again. I will not give you the method of laying a fire dragon or making a hollow wall again."
Landlord No. 3 stood up: "Princess, Mr. Fu is willing to give it a try. The Earth Fire Dragon you mentioned seems to be not only capable of cultivating vegetables and fruits, but it also seems to be very warm and can be used in people's houses in winter.
We are not short of money, so why not give it a try? The winter in Guanzhong is really uncomfortable, and my 70-year-old mother Fu is worried that she will not be able to survive this year's cold winter."
Yun Wu slapped the table: "Okay, as long as you have vision, courage, and filial piety, I will cooperate with you. Those who hesitate will have no chance."
