A quarter of an hour later, there were several more people working in the field.
The concubine sat on a rocking chair in the field, basking in the warm sun and watching a group of her juniors working in the fields, feeling very happy.
These juniors, who are well-off and well-off, need to experience the joy of work, understand the hard work of the people, and understand the direction of life.
Oh, I’m overthinking it. These are all dandies who don’t do their jobs all day long. They probably don’t understand the hard work of the common people.
Forget it, it’s already down to earth, let’s keep going.
"Sister, is this why you asked us to come here to find you?" Pei Xiaojun inserted a sweet potato vine into the hole where the wooden stick was inserted. His movements were quite skillful, and it looked like he could be used to do the work.
"No. I drew two things and wanted to ask if you are interested." He Yunxi said.
"what?"
"Some things and toys that babies and children can use." He Yunxi said, "This is inspired by scooters."
Pei Xiaojun glanced at the concubine secretly: "Does the concubine like scooters?"
He Yunxi gave him a look: "What do you think?"
This is what I like.
When they first heard her talk about the one for the concubine to play with, they were very surprised. After doing it, they felt a little uneasy, fearing that something would happen to the concubine and they would be punished together.
"As long as the concubine likes it. I hope no one else will know about this, otherwise we..."
"Grandma Huang and Grandma Huang came here together yesterday," He Yunxi said.
Pei Xiaojun: "..."
"This sweet potato vine is very precious. Why did you cut it off?!" He Yunxi glared at him.
Pei Xiaojun looked at the sweet potato vine that he had cut off in shock, and said in a daze, "What you said was so scary."
"Don't worry, Grandma Huang didn't say anything unhappy." He Yunxi said.
Pei Xiaojun breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good."
Seeing that He Yunxi was a little unhappy, it was probably because of the sweet potato vine that he had cut off.
"Sister, what is this sweet potato vine?" he asked curiously.
"It's a crop that was found overseas and tastes very good," He Yunxi said.
"Is it from overseas? Can you let me plant some too?" Pei Xiaojun asked.
"You want to plant?"
"Yes. You said it tastes good, so I'll plant some to eat too."
He Yunxi hesitated slightly: "Okay, I'll give you two acres of seedlings."
"There's me, there's me, I want to plant it too." Duan Zhengyu came over and shouted.
"You want it too?"
"Yes, if you all plant it, I will plant it too," Duan Zhengyu said.
He didn't know what would grow from this sweet potato vine, but his intuition told him that it was right to follow He Yunxi's lead.
Besides, the three little overlords are together. Pei Xiaojun is already growing it, so how can he not?
The three of them have to do everything together!
Sure enough, Liang Jinqi also came over and said he wanted to join us.
Then Liang Jinan also said that he wanted to plant seeds, and He Jingtai finally said that he wanted to do it together.
"Then let each of you share two acres of land."
"One person has two acres of land?" Liang Jinqi was a little disappointed. What can two acres of land do?
He Yunxi hummed: "I only have 30 acres in total, so you have to take away 10 acres. If it's too little, then don't take it?"
"Yes, yes!" Liang Jinqi quickly laughed.
"But not now. This first batch of sweet potato vines is not enough for you to share." He Yunxi said, "I will give it to you when the vines are cut later."
"Okay, okay. Sister Yunxi, you are so kind!" Liang Jinan held her arm and said with a smile.
He Yunxi poked her forehead and asked several people: "You all have your own land, right?"
"On your own land?"
"Yes, if you use your own land, what you grow is yours." He Yunxi said, "If what you grow is very good and you plant it on your family's land, then the sweet potatoes will not be yours."
When she said this, she looked at Duan Zhengyu.
Duan Zhengyu will be squeezed out by his family to make money on his own, which shows that the Hou Mansion is not so harmonious. When the sweet potatoes are harvested, everyone will be shocked. If he doesn't plant his own land, then the sweet potatoes will be left in his hands.
The possibility is extremely slim.
Everyone present knew the situation in Duan Zhengyu's family. When He Yunxi said this, everyone understood.
"Then we will plant our own land." Duan Zhengyu said.
Pei Xiaojun struck him from the side: "But I don't have my own land."
"There is nothing to buy! Two acres per person, which adds up to only six acres of land. It is difficult to buy 6,000 acres in the capital, but you can't buy six acres of land?" Liang Jinqi said.
"Why are you so miserable! You don't even have your own land." Liang Jinan laughed at the three of them.
They are obviously the three little overlords in the capital. They all have noble status, but they don't even have their own Zhuangzi.
"I didn't think I needed these things before. I felt that the family's belongings were also my own." Pei Xiaojun said, "I don't think so now."
After what happened to Duan Zhengyu, they finally understood that it would be better to have some of their own private property in hand.
In the past, they didn't think money was important, and they just spent it if they had it. But looking at He Yunxi and Liang Jinan, they realized that they were really poor.
Fortunately, I now have my own business, and all the money I make is my own.
"You three are so pitiful." Liang Jin'an said, "But it's not easy for you to go out to the village to buy it now. If you don't want to sell it all together, I will sell you six acres of land. I will give you one hundred acres of my village later."
Let’s make it clear first that this is a sale, not a gift.”
"Is one hundred acres too little?" Pei Xiaojun asked.
"One hundred acres is quite a lot." He Yunxi said, "One acre of high-quality land can produce seven to eight hundred kilograms of wheat if planted with wheat. Let's calculate seven hundred and fifty kilograms of wheat. One hundred acres of land can produce seventy thousand kilograms."
Five thousand kilograms of wheat. One kilogram of wheat yields seven to eight taels of flour. Counting seven taels, there are fifty-two thousand five hundred kilograms of flour."
Everyone was stunned by He Yunxi's mental arithmetic ability.
He Yunxi was cutting while talking, not noticing the shock of everyone, and continued to calculate: "If an adult eats pasta as the main meal for three meals a day, he should eat one and a half to two kilograms of flour a day.
One hundred acres of flour is enough to feed one person for twenty-six thousand two hundred and five days, which is almost... seventy-two years. In other words, if you grow one hundred acres of wheat, you can almost feed one person.
I’ve been eating it for a lifetime.”
Everyone present was stunned.
When He Yunxi saw that no one answered after he finished speaking, he straightened up and looked at them. Seeing their shocked looks, He Yunxi smiled: "Why, do you think this number is incredible?"
Lu Yunjiao asked: "Sister-in-law, this acre of land produces so much food, why are there still so many people who don't have enough to eat? People in the village, and us, didn't have enough to eat before."
