The Reborn Wife is Farming

It's not that Li Jinghua didn't let Xiaobao play with Xiaoxiong in the past, and didn't care about Mu Yangling, but now he has some enthusiasm, and Mu Yangling suddenly realized that Lichun even noticed it, so it seems that his feeling is not wrong up.

Li Jinghua likes Xiaoxiong very much, and there is nothing wrong with Xiaobao and Xiaoxiong brothers being in a good relationship, so they often let the two children play together, but it is not unrestrained laissez-faire, such as naps and late nights, Li Jinghua doesn't say that she asks Xiaobao to sleep in her own room every day, but it will not be like now, as long as Xiaobao asks, she will agree to sleep with Xiaoxiong.

As for the relationship with Mu Yangling, it used to be good, but it was more of a sister-in-law's nature. Unlike now, Li Jinghua is still good to Mu Yangling, but she has two more enthusiasms.

Thinking of the current situation, Mu Yangling knew clearly. She didn't explain to Lichun, but said: "I am young, there is nothing wrong with my sister-in-law caring about me."

Qi Xiuyuan has now occupied half of the country, and with the state capital that Qi Haoran took back from the Xixia army, although I dare not say that it occupies two-thirds, it is still quite a lot.

If Qi Xiuyuan ascended the throne as emperor, then Xiaobao might be the future prince, and Qi Xiuyuan would definitely have more sons. Qi Haoran's love for Xiaobao would be a strong support for Xiaobao.

As for those who can affect Qi Haoran, she and the child count as one.

Mu Yangling wasn't sad, but felt that the world was changing.

And no matter what purpose Li Jinghua treats her better, she will not tell the girl, lest Li Chun and others underestimate Li Jinghua.

Mu Yangling adjusted his mentality, accepted Li Jinghua's overtures to her, and did not reject her idea of ​​bringing Xiaobao and Xiaoxiong together.

Li Jinghua smiled slightly when she saw it, and said to Wen Cui: "It is said that Ah Ling is not tactful, but I think her lenient heart is enough to conquer everything."

Wen Cui didn't understand, and Li Jinghua didn't explain much. She just sighed in her heart. If she was Mu Yangling, even if she didn't become arrogant, she would be slightly annoyed in her heart. Mu Yangling was tolerant.

Thinking about it this way, although Li Jinghua's kindness to Mu Yangling was still enthusiastic, he was more sincere, which made Mu Yangling a little puzzled.

But she was not in the mood to delve into it, because the snow started to melt, and as soon as the snow melted, everyone was going to start preparing the seeds. The village chief came to the door and asked Mu Yangling what he planned to plant on the wasteland.

After all, as agreed at the beginning, Mu Yangling has the final say on the planting.

Mu Yangling asked Chen Ming to take out a bag of sweet potatoes, and opened it for Li Zheng and the village chief to see.

The two were surprised, "Isn't this a sweet potato?"

Mu Yangling nodded, "I'll let you plant this."

The village chief was a little confused and said: "Fourth grandma, this stuff is eaten as a vegetable. We can't eat it even if we grow it in more than a hundred acres of wasteland. If it dies, the stem will rot if it is not dug out."

Mu Yangling nodded, "I know, you just need to grow them and sell them to me later. It's just the same thing. I don't have many sweet potato vines here, and I don't have many stems, so each family will produce some if they have some. I need the help of the village head to find it, I paid for it, but the matter of coming forward..."

The village head and Li Zheng hurriedly said: "Don't worry, Fourth Grandma, we will leave the matter of coming forward."

Only then did Mu Yangling nod slightly, and regretfully said: "In fact, growing corn in the wasteland is also good. Although the land is thinner, corn is more resistant to drought and cold, and it is better than sweet potatoes. After two or three years of planting, the land can be fertilized a lot. "

Li Zheng smiled wryly, "The fourth grandma said that because she lived in the Northland before. It is too difficult for us to get corn seeds in the south, so only those rich and noble families can get it and plant some."

Anger flashed across Mu Yangling's face, and he said: "Corn has been planted for several years, and with the good climate in the south, two crops can be planted every year. It stands to reason that this stuff is not as good as wheat and rice, and it doesn't matter if it flows out. Why do the aristocratic families hold it in their hands and refuse to let it go?"

No wonder Mu Yangling was angry. She didn't know about it in the north before, but she only found out when she arrived in the south. After the batch of seeds were distributed to Huangzhuang, aristocratic families and officials' homes, there were very few seeds in the corn that were planted later. into the hands of the common people.

Not to mention Huangzhuang, but only the aristocratic family and officials. They gave the limited seeds they got to the farm for planting, and strictly ordered the seeds to be leaked. Once they were found hiding corn seeds or stealing them, the whole family would be beaten to death.

If the first year was to keep more seeds, what about the second year, the third year, until now?

There is corn for sale in the grain store, but they are all crushed. The price is cheaper than flour and rice, but it is definitely more expensive than coarse grains.

Because it is all crushed, most ordinary people have no access, so no corn has been grown for so many years.

Even ordinary small landlords have no seeds to plant.

What surprised Mu Yangling was that although the grain shops in the north, such as Xingzhou, Hanzhong and Lin'an, sold whole seeds, there were very few of them. Merchants going north did not dare to sell corn seeds.

Mu Yangling didn't know if Qi Xiuyuan was involved in this. After all, if corn could be cultivated in the south, maybe there would be fewer rebels.

Although there are starving people in the north, there are fewer people than in the south with a good climate, and there are very few rebellions.

After Mu Yangling came to Lin'an City, she also planted corn in her own village. At first it was for experimentation, and later she also wanted to spread the seeds there, but when she ordered Zhu Liang to sell the corn, Zhu Liang didn' They just grind up the corn and sell it, or transport the seeds back to the north to sell to Xiying. Even the farm closest to their village has no corn.

This is also the reason why Mu Yangling suspected Qi Xiuyuan. After that, Mu Yangling didn't care about it anymore. At this time, she just got annoyed and let it go. She picked up the sweet potato and said, "This thing can not only cook, but also Can make food."

"We know that," the village chief said without any surprise, "this sweet potato can indeed fill your stomach if it is cooked, but if you eat too much, your stomach will become bloated, you will get sour gas and heartburn, so you dare not eat more."

Lizheng smashed and smashed his mouth, "how about corn, it can fill the stomach, and it is also high-yielding. I heard that they still make cornmeal now. I bought it and asked my mother-in-law to bake cakes. It's quite delicious , although it is a bit rough, it is not worse than semolina, but it is a pity that we can't get the seeds."

Both Li Zheng and the village chief looked at Mu Yangling with some longing, and asked cautiously: "Isn't the fourth grandma from the North? I heard that there is no limit to selling seeds."

Mu Yangling said: "I can buy seeds, but it's too messy outside now, and I can't transport them if I buy them. If you want to plant them, you have to wait until next year. You can only plant this one this year."

It's not that they can't be lucky, but that the movement is too loud. Mu Yangling doesn't dare to make a big noise by doing anything now, because he is afraid that people will notice their whereabouts.

"You can also grow wheat..." the village head tried to persuade.

It's true that you can't eat too much sweet potato, otherwise they would be happy to breed more. If Mu Yangling doesn't harvest it after planting it, they will have to rot at home, wasting their efforts.
