Sure enough! If the emperor did not come up with some things that were beneficial to the people's livelihood, the emperor probably wouldn't agree.

On the next day, it was even more shocking. Li Chengqian directly took his father to visit the vegetable field in the Women's Thirty-Two Lefang.

At this time, after nearly two months of preparation, this large-scale planting has begun to reveal its appearance.

In the vegetable fields, water wheels of the same size are regularly distributed, and around these water wheels, bamboo poles placed at different angles are placed on the entire vegetable fields.

These bamboo poles often appear on waterwheels, and they are different in height.

At first glance, it seems a bit messy, but in my heart, I know that this must be not simple.

In fact...

Just as the emperor thought, there is a reason why these bamboo poles were so set up.

Moreover, after these days of research, the irrigation of this vegetable field has been upgraded from the 1.0 proposed by Yaoyao to the current 3.0.

The difference between 3.0 and 1.0 and 2.0 in the front is that the number of waterwheels needs has become smaller.

Moreover, the irrigation area covered has become larger.

The emperor had never seen such a large-scale planting method. When he saw it at the beginning of this day, he felt it was very strange.

I saw that there were not many people in this field, and there were only thirty or forty people in total. However, one person could easily irrigate a large area.

You should know that the land of Duke Yi is almost 300 acres. If you have to carry water to irrigate the vegetables, you will not be able to finish watering even if you pick it for a day. The key is that after the watering is finished, you will probably have back pain.

But what about this land? The water is delivered by a water truck and when irrigating, it is precisely poured onto each green vegetable.

More importantly, if this row is finished, then move the position of the bamboo pole and continue to wait in place.

Sometimes I don’t even have to bend over. It can be said that this vegetable field was played by these women from the Thirty-Two Lefang. It feels like even a three-year-old child can complete it.

During this period, Cheng Huaimo, Qi Ling and the Woodworker Zhang naturally acted as the people who learned about the irrigation of this vegetable field.

At first, Woodworker Zhang was still a little nervous because he knew that the other party was His Majesty, but then when he talked about his masterpiece, he couldn't help but feel a little excited.

"This irrigation method is led by Caomin, and dozens of people who are specifically responsible for taking action have been hired according to the design drawings provided by the boss, and then it has been improved several times. Using this method to irrigate the vegetable field, it can be said that it is almost impossible to make any effort. Even a three-year-old child can irrigate hundreds of acres a day, and... if these things are not used, they need to be prepared, and bamboo poles and other things can be dismantled for the next time."

In fact, there are no secrets on the vegetable field. As long as you get closer, you can understand all the secrets, let alone, this is a wise and powerful emperor, and ordinary things can't fool him. However, his face changed slightly, and he was deeply surprised not because of these water trucks and these bamboo poles that transport water, but because of the person who could come up with such ideas.

"Who was the first to come up with this?" the emperor asked then.

"This..." Mr. Zhang didn't know. He only knew that the drawing was provided by Qiling, the owner.

At this time, when asked who was the first to propose it, Qi Ling had to follow up and stood up, saying, "The young lady reported to Your Majesty that this was proposed by the Crown Princess. Later, it was improved by Carpenter Zhang many times, and the original design drawings were still here with the young lady."

"Oh? Then take it out and let me see." The emperor was not surprised when he heard that it was the Crown Princess. He even continued to say, "No wonder! I said that ordinary people should not think of such a thing. That is, only Yaoyao." As he said that, he took the design drawing from Qiling's hand, and opened the design drawing to look at it.

I saw...

There are a bunch of ghost talismans on it, but fortunately, there are legends and text annotations on this picture, so it is also very clear and easy to understand.

I saw horizontal and vertical lines on it, and there were also water wheels and circles and forks, and small flowers, representing lettuce.

Moreover, after the lettuce grows into a blooming flower shape, it is easy to understand when looking at the lettuce on site.

A few words were also written on this design drawing, called the design drawing of vegetable fields.

Of course, what is drawn on this picture is of course different from what is seen in front of you.

In reality, in order to save the number of water trucks and the consumption of bamboo, a lot of improvements have been made.

"The picture of Yaoyao is really easy to understand."

"It's just that it's different from what I see now."

At this time, after hearing the emperor's feelings, Qi Ling also said: "The Crown Princess once told the civilian daughter that she could make changes according to the actual situation. The Crown Princess herself also said that she was just providing an idea."

"Not bad!" the emperor said at this time, "You are also smart. It seems that the Cheng family has also married a good daughter-in-law."

Cheng Huaimo hurried up and said, "Thank you for your praise!"

"You really don't know how to be modest!" the emperor said. Of course, there was no intention of blaming him at all. Then the emperor said again: "It's just... this irrigation problem is solved, so how do you solve the others?"

Cheng Huaimo: "Please make it clear to you!"

The emperor said, "For example, if you plant a crop, turn over the soil, fertilize, and even pick, sell, and finally transport it? It's not far from Chen. At that time, it will definitely require a lot of manpower and material resources."

At this time, Cheng Huaimu also explained: "We will use monthly money to turn over soil, fertilize, and pick them through monthly payments or temporary employment, and ask people to do it. We will order sales in the future. As for transportation... Fortunately, this place is not far from the official road, so it is also very convenient. We will all hire people to do these."

The Emperor: "In this way, it actually requires a large number of manpower." The Emperor pondered for a moment, and then said: "To put it, what kind of vegetable is this? Why have I never seen it before?"

Li Chengqian said, "Father, this is called lettuce!"

Emperor: "Lettuce?"

Li Chengqian: "Well, it means green vegetables that can be eaten raw. Moreover, they are crispier than ordinary wild vegetables and sweeter. They are very suitable for eating at banquets."

Then the emperor picked one directly and asked again, "Take it raw?"

"Yes." Li Chengqian quickly asked someone to get water and washed it. Then the emperor put it in his mouth and started chewing it in confusion.

At first, I didn't feel anything, but slowly, there was a faint sweetness in it.

This is much better than any other vegetable.

Nowadays, no vegetables that eat leaves have good taste except cabbage, let alone, while the taste is good, it can also have a light sweetness.

"Well...this lettuce is pretty good!"

The emperor immediately praised.

Li Chengqian said: "In fact, eating it alone will make the taste a bit monotonous. This dish can be eaten with rice balls, meat, or even dipping sauce. When eaten with different foods, it can increase the umami flavor of the other foods, and the effect will be better at that time."

"How many lettuce can be grown in this piece of land?" the emperor asked then.

Qi Ling also replied back and forth at this time: "Your Majesty, conservatively estimate that it should be no less than 100,000."

"Then how much does your lettuce cost?"

Although the emperor was actually a little shocked at the output of these 100,000 pieces, the number was still very large, but what he was most concerned about was the price of the lettuce, that is, how much money could be made in this vegetable field.

"By your Majesty, this lettuce is sold for seven cents, but if the quantity is large at one time, the price can be reduced."

"What? Seven Writings!?"

Then I saw the emperor's eyebrows standing up.

"Just one, just sell it for seven cents?"

How can this be vegetables?

This is at least the price of meat for livestock.

Wouldn’t it be nice to use this seven cents to buy sauerkra rice?

The emperor asked again in disbelief: "One piece sells seven cents?"

Qi Ling nodded again and said, "Yes! Because this is a rare product, there is no other place in Beichen to grow this kind of vegetable except us. This is a rare thing!"

The emperor looked at the vegetable field, and the 100,000 she mentioned before, could plant 100,000 things. Can this be called rare things?

Is this how things are used because they are rare?

But if you think about Chendu’s population, it feels very reasonable.

After all, there are 100,000 pills, and even if he eats ten pills, there are only 10,000 pills per person.

But Chen has the ability to eat this, and there are definitely more than 10,000 nobles or rich people.

One hundred thousand pieces seem to be a lot, but they can be allocated to each person, so there will be very few.

The woman's 32 Music House only earns 700 stakes, and these 700 stakes will definitely be deducted from labor and freight, so even if you save it, you may be able to stay half of it in the end, which is about 350 stakes.

But no matter what, I still make a profit!

The emperor could generate 700 tons of profits in a year when he looked at such a vegetable field.

All I can say is...

In fact, it's just a matter of force. After all, his catching money will definitely make Shi's profits higher.

The emperor thought that this lettuce could only be grown in one crop. In fact, it can be grown all year round and can be harvested once every two months at the earliest. So now the only thing that limits women's Thirty-Two Lefang is the only land fertility.

But no matter what, there will definitely be more than 700 trump cards a year.

According to Yaoyao's original idea, it should be easy to earn tens of thousands of yuan a year. This is because she does not provide fertilizers and allows Qiling to let the woman die on her own.

only……

Now Qiling doesn't do what she said, so the number of this kind of planting cannot be calculated from her at the beginning.
