First put the potatoes in the sun to encourage them to germinate.
Then, cut the potatoes into pieces with a knife, leaving one or two small sprouts on each piece.
Then, use a steel shovel to loosen the soil, dig out a deep hole, and throw the potato pieces with small buds in, preferably with the small buds facing up.
In this way, a potato piece can be buried one foot apart.
Then, pour some water uniformly to keep the soil moist, and that’s it!
The whole process is very simple. After reading it once, the dealers have already learned it.
However, what was a bit novel for them was that it was their first time to see crops grown in this way!
The next day, Li Xuan led the farmers again and started planting corn.
This time, Li Xuan brought back a lot of corn seeds and planted them directly on twenty acres, which is twenty glass greenhouses.
Next, it’s pumpkins. There aren’t many pumpkin seeds, so we can only plant them in two glass greenhouses.
There were not many pepper seeds, so Li Xuan reluctantly planted the pepper seedlings in five glass greenhouses.
There are not that many tomato seeds, and the tomato seedlings cultivated are enough to plant in a five-acre glass greenhouse!
Every time you plant, you will add a little water immediately.
It was already ten days after all these were planted.
By this time, the sweet potato seedlings cultivated by Li Xuan had grown to a height of half a foot, reaching the top of the glass on the pond.
So, I started planting sweet potatoes again.
First, ridges of soil were leveled out in the glass greenhouse, and then the sweet potato seedlings were dug out of the pond. The bottom of each sweet potato seedling was wrapped with a ball of mud, and then a hole was dug and buried in the ridges.
A sweet potato seedling can be planted every one foot.
After planting, someone still needs to pour half a bowl of water.
So, another three days have passed.
Li Xuan spent more than 300 kilograms of sweet potatoes to cultivate sweet potato seedlings that were planted in ten glass greenhouses!
"These are just like grown vegetables. You just need to water them for a few days, pull out the weeds, and prevent wild animals from coming in to eat the seedlings!"
Looking at the results of the past half month, Li Xuan said to the bankers in front of him.
As for the personal guards who were originally designated by Li Xuan to be in charge of these glass greenhouses, they had already been squeezed out of the crowd by the farmers.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, we are the most experienced in taking care of these glass greenhouses!"
"Exactly, your Majesty will leave these glass greenhouses to us, don't worry!"
Hearing this, Li Xuan could only nodded slowly.
"This will trouble you all!"
Seeing this, all the bankers were all smiling.
Next, it was time for farmers to start growing vegetables in their own glass greenhouses.
Li Xuan doesn't need to worry about these at all.
Over time, a long row of concrete bungalows was built on Xue Rengui's village next door to accommodate the veterans who came over.
Although each house is not big, the veterans are all satisfied.
These sturdy houses, which are as strong as city walls, no longer have to worry about them collapsing in heavy rain, being washed away by floods, or being crushed in heavy snow!
Moreover, what they are most looking forward to is that their owner also told them that this kind of sturdy house is their temporary residence, and the construction sites nearby are to build more beautiful and spacious houses for them.
.
What surprised them next was that their owner borrowed a group of old farmers from the Jin Prince's Mansion next door, as well as the extremely precious glass sold outside, to build a glass house in the field?
"Proprietor, can a house built with this precious glass really allow the fields to grow vegetables in winter?"
Standing inside, looking at this beautiful glass house, the veterans felt very distressed.
"If these glasses were sold in the city, how much would they cost?"
"So, you have to keep an eye on these glass greenhouses from now on. They can't be broken or stolen by thieves!"
Xue Rengui chuckled and said slowly, "Vegetables grown in this kind of glass greenhouse in winter can be sold for hundreds of dollars in one winter!"
"Hundreds of strings?"
Upon hearing this, all the soldiers could not help but stare in disbelief.
These people, a big family, worked hard for a year, farming, hunting and fishing, weaving, raising some chickens and ducks, or sewing some utensils for some nobles, or planting some vegetables.
Flowers, melons and fruits are picked for sale in the market.
But at this rate, I can only earn more than 20 yuan a year at most.
Even in bad times, earning more than a dozen dollars can already allow them to have a good year.
And now, just by growing vegetables in such a glass greenhouse, they can sell more than 150 vegetables a month?
Wouldn't it be possible to earn more than fifty dollars?
As for making more money, these soldiers cannot believe it!
"Exactly!"
Xue Rengui nodded slowly, and under the expectant gazes of the soldiers, he continued: "In Lijiazhuang next door, some farmers have grown well and can sell two hundred strings a month!
However, now there are more people planting glass greenhouses in winter, and they can sell 150 guan a month, which is already the highest.
As for you, if you just start planting this kind of glass greenhouse, you can sell more than a hundred pieces a month!"
"More than a hundred swords?"
Hearing this, all the veterans nodded subconsciously and solemnly promised.
"Proprietor, let alone more than one hundred guan, as long as we can sell it for 70 or 80 guan, we will stay in the greenhouse every day and keep an eye on this glass house even if we risk our lives!
"
"No need for this!"
Xue Rengui chuckled lightly and said, "No one in Chang'an City dares to offend me like this."
"It's just that according to the rules set by the Master, you can only get 10% of the money from each glass greenhouse sold. You can only earn about ten dollars this winter!"
As he said this, Xue Rengui showed a trace of embarrassment on his face, "Although the money is less than what the farmers in Confucius Village earn, you can pick twenty kilograms of vegetables from the glass greenhouse every month to eat.
In addition, if you want to eat meat, you can also buy it from Lijiazhuang next door, which is at least 30 to 40% cheaper than those shops in the city!"
"The proprietor is kind!"
Hearing this, all the veterans knelt down towards Xue Rengui with gratitude on their faces.
"We swear that we will never betray our proprietor in this life. If we violate this oath, there will be thunder from the sky!"
You know, farmers like them have nothing to do when winter comes, that is, they have no money to make. Who would have thought that growing vegetables here in one winter can make more than ten thousand dollars?
This kind of good thing is something they never dared to think about before!
"Don't do this, please!"
Xue Rengui's face became anxious, and he quickly helped the veterans he led to stand up.
"We have been going to sea together for a year and a half. Xue Li also knows very well who you are! From now on, this place will be the Xue Family Village, and the prosperity of this village depends on everyone's joint efforts!"
"Don't worry, proprietor, we will do our best!"
After Xue Rengui's stimulation, all the veterans were suddenly filled with motivation.
At night when going to bed.
Some bankers remembered what the proprietor said during the day and couldn't sleep over and over again.
