Chapter 202 Planting Differences

The weather is getting warmer and more pleasant. The earth has long since awakened from its slumber and the land has thawed early.

At this time of year, flowers are in full bloom and competing for beauty, attracting bees and butterflies to come and dance.

The grass is growing, the warblers are flying, the willows on the bank are swaying in the spring smoke, children are playing happily, and farmers are plowing the fields, preparing for the new year's farming, adding vitality and vigor to this land.

It wasn't until he saw Old Zhang turning the soil in the fields that Jiang Changle slapped his forehead and realized, "I didn't know their production tools were so backward. Didn't our Acid Rain Village make a plow? Why haven't we popularized it?"

Spring plowing is a big deal, which concerns the harvest for the whole year. Jiang Changle is not in a hurry because she has food in the space. She has children to take care of and rarely goes out. In addition, various troubles come to her and take up her time, so she ignores such a big thing.

"Your Highness, what are you talking about? Our ancestors have used hoes to plow the soil. Is the plow a new tool in the workshop? Is it very useful?"

Old Zhang and his family all work in the Jiang family's workshop and have already received their wages, so they have added a lot of tools to their home.

The hoe he carried on his shoulder was newly bought and very precious. He would wipe it clean after daily use before putting it away.

What's going on now? The princess said this hoe is too backward? Old Zhang's sense of superiority disappeared immediately.

He was one of the first workers to follow Jiang Changle into the workshop. When Zhou Hu led his troops to besiege the workshop, he resisted fiercely and then lost his right arm in the battle.

The Jiang family workshop naturally compensated Old Zhang with a large sum of money and also changed his original job to an easier job as a janitor, but his monthly salary was actually higher.

Spring plowing is about to begin these days, so not all workers in the workshop are closed for the holiday. However, they can take leave in batches to go home and work.

Old Zhang took a day off today. Even though he only had one arm, for him, who had been doing this work all his life, turning the soil was just a little slower, not impossible.

He was familiar with Jiang Changle and knew that the Fourth Princess was an easy-going person, so when he saw Jiang Changle passing by, he hurried over to say hello and happened to hear what Jiang Changle said.

"That's right. A hoe can only turn the soil one shovel at a time, but a plow can turn the soil in rows. We orcs are very strong, so even without oxen pulling, we can still move very fast with human power alone.

Like this, your hoe applies downward force, and the plow is a convenient farm tool that converts the hoe into one that applies forward force.

I suddenly remembered that because iron was an item under the control of the dynasty, the workshop did not produce it at that time, but only made some for use in Acid Rain Village.

I'll go back and ask County Master Hua what she thinks. If she has some iron that can be distributed evenly, I can have the workshop produce some plows for everyone to use."

Old Zhang seemed to understand, but he had always been confident in the products produced by the Jiang family workshop. "Okay, okay, I'll be waiting for you, old man."

"Well, how is Old Zhang's wound healing? How is the spring plowing going at home?"

When Jiang Changle asked this, Old Zhang's wife couldn't help but hurriedly explain, "Princess, he just can't sit still. He insisted on going to the fields when I told him to have a good rest."

Old Zhang was valued by Jiang Changle from the very beginning, especially after he was injured, he was not rejected by the workshop but received better care instead. This made Old Zhang's status in the family rise.

Will the princess accuse their family of abusing Old Zhang?

"Spring plowing is a big deal, how can I sit idle? What if I delay farming? Our family is following the pace of the workshop this year and reclaiming more wasteland. Didn't the princess say there are new crops to grow?"

Old Zhang firmly believes in one thing: the harder you work, the luckier you will be.

If he had not been diligent, how could he have met the Fourth Princess at the foot of the mountain in such a cold day, and naturally their family would not have the gains they have today.

The family's life took a huge leap forward. After taking fertility drugs, the children became pregnant one after another, and they became more motivated to work.

Jiang Changle nodded. She had always known that Old Zhang was diligent and had a keen eye for work. "Of course there are new crops. Corn and sweet potatoes are grown in dry land. The method of growing them is different from that of growing rice."

"Huh? How can it be different? Isn't it the same as digging holes, planting seeds, irrigating, driving away insects, and then harvesting when the seeds are ripe?"

The planting methods in the animal world are basically like this, and Old Zhang was puzzled.

"Ah? Do you grow rice like this? What about irrigation? It's not like pouring water one bucket at a time, right?" The beastmen grow upland rice?

Jiang Changle really had never understood this. Fortunately, she left behind various methods of growing crops in Acid Rain Village.

"That's about right. There's no water in the high places, so it's difficult to carry water, which will delay irrigation, so in the beginning~"

That's why Old Zhang reminded Jiang Changle not to buy that kind of land. Could it be that their previous planting methods were wrong?

"Then how much rice can you harvest from one acre of land?" The plants in the beast world are several times larger than those in the previous life, but the beastmen are still short of food and clothing. Jiang Changle thought that she might know the reason.

The planting method is too backward.

"About 300 kilograms." Old Zhang didn't think there was anything wrong.

"If you use my planting method this year, you can harvest 2,000 kilograms per mu, and even more corn and sweet potatoes."

You have to know that a grain of rice is as big as two drops of peanuts, and the plant is as tall as 1.5 meters. Two thousand kilograms per acre is a conservative estimate.

Old Zhang was stunned and couldn't utter a sound.

"Let's plant it. We will follow the fourth princess and use the same planting method." Old Zhang's wife reacted the fastest and agreed immediately.

"Okay, you guys start weeding the fields first. Tomorrow I'll have the county lord discuss this and spread the planting methods and grain seeds."

"Thank you, Princess. Thank you very much." The Fourth Princess has always been very reliable, and everyone is willing to trust her.

"Princess, where are you going? Or maybe I can show you the way."

It didn't look like Jiang Changle was on his way to the workshop, and it was even less likely that he would come here specifically to see him, an injured old man.

After all, there are so many injured people, and Old Zhang thinks that his responsibility is not that heavy, while the princess always does big things, so it would be great if he could help a little.

Jiang Changle smiled and said, "I'm going to find a suitable place to dig a well." Old Zhang is familiar with the area, so he might be able to find a place.

"Digging a well? Should we look for a low-lying area? In that little valley over there, a spring automatically bubbles out every rainy season. Princess, you can go there and take a look."

It was not far from the workshop. Old Zhang pointed and Jiang Changle saw it.

"Is it there? Then you go ahead and do your work, I can go there myself." Jiang Changle waved goodbye to Old Zhang, took Mo Chen's hand and left.

Behind her, there were voices praising her, saying she was kind and easygoing, capable, and, moreover, the fourth princess seemed to be pregnant again~
