Chapter 488

Lin Xuan waved his hand and said, "The rest of the people are all farmers who know how to grow white berries. Be sure to listen to them when it comes to planting berries. When the time comes, you bring them all to Zhouzhuang and let them teach Zhouzhuang how to do it." The people of the country planted Baidiezi."

"My lord, this old slave is afraid that the people will not want to plant it." Lin Butler said worriedly.

Baidizi can't eat or drink. Although it is very warm to put some in when making clothes, food is the most important thing for the people.

There is food at home, so don't panic.

For ordinary people, planting other things is not as important as food, even if it is valuable.

After all, no one can guarantee that there will be a famine or something. No matter how much money there is, what is the use of not being able to buy food?

"Baidiezi can be grown in wasteland and barren hills, and it doesn't need to be grown in fertile land. Tell them the Hou Mansion buys it at a high price, and they won't reject it," Lin Xuan said.

"Yes." Butler Lin replied.

Lin Xuan now has three crops that need to be planted and promoted.

Cotton, potatoes, corn.

Fortunately, cotton has a lot of seeds, and there are experienced farmers brought back by Gaochang, so there will definitely be no problems.

Zhou Aniu's family has planted potatoes once, and they already have experience, so they can completely entrust them to continue planting.

The rest is corn, but it is not difficult to grow corn. The only trouble is the seeds in Lin Xuan's hands, which can be planted for hundreds of acres, which requires the people of Zhouzhuang to give up some land.

In this way, rent reduction alone will definitely not work.

Lin Xuan thought for a while and came to Zhou Lizheng's home.

Although all the land in Zhouzhuang belongs to the Lin family, if he wants the people to help him grow cotton and corn, he still needs Zhou Lizheng's help.

Zhou Li was listening to Lin Xuan's reason for coming, and quickly asked, "May I ask Lord Hou, is the yield of this corn as high as that of potatoes?"

Everyone in Zhouzhuang knew about the harvest of potatoes last year.

The yield is several times higher than the crops they usually grow.

If they can grow potatoes, will there be food shortages in the future?

It is a pity that potatoes have not yet been able to be promoted on a large scale.

However, Lin Xuan also assured them that after a few years, when potatoes are promoted, the people of Zhouzhuang must be the first to plant potatoes.

Now that Lin Xuan has got a new crop for them to grow, he doesn't know what corn is, but for them, as long as it can be eaten and has a high yield, it's fine.

Lin Xuan said with a smile: "The yield of corn is not much lower than that of potatoes. The most important thing is that potatoes can only be used as a staple food when there is a shortage of food. Usually, it should be paired with other things. But corn is different, it can be eaten Serve as staple food."

"Master Hou, the people of Zhouzhuang are willing to plant corn. I just hope that when Lord Hou promotes corn, the people of Zhouzhuang can plant it first." Zhou Mancang said.

Lin Xuan did not refuse this point, and then discussed in detail with Zhou Ali.

The people in Zhouzhuang planted corn for him, and all the corn they received would go to Lin Xuan, so he had to compensate the people who planted the corn.

The final result of the negotiation was that Lin Xuan compensated the common people according to the previous yield per mu, and all the corn grown by the common people belonged to Lin Xuan.

As for the matter of growing cotton, Zhou Lizheng naturally would not object.

After all, it only needs to be planted on some wastelands and barren hills. After they are planted, the Hou Mansion will buy them with money, which is equivalent to giving them a chance to make money. Naturally, he has no reason to object.

There are more than 1 catties of cotton seeds, and it is definitely not enough for the people in Zhouzhuang to plant them.

Lin Xuan had agreed with Li Shimin before that he would provide Li Shimin with a batch of seeds and farmers who could grow cotton, and Li Shimin would naturally arrange for people to plant them.

Lin Xuan returned home, thought about it carefully, and found that there was nothing missing, so he was relieved.

Find Cheng Chumo and others, give them the soap formula, and let them each build a workshop and arrange production.

After finishing all this work, Lin Xuan has nothing to do, waiting to leave tomorrow.

……

On the morning of the fifth day of the lunar new year, under the reluctant eyes of Chunyue and Yuhe, Lin Xuan set off with three hundred soldiers.

When he came to the official road, Zhang Zhongjian was already waiting for him at the intersection.

What Lin Xuan didn't expect was that the prince's carriage was also at the intersection, and Li Chengqian was standing beside the carriage and looking at him with a smile.

Lin Xuan nodded to Zhang Zhongjian after dismounting, came to Li Chengqian, cupped his hands and said, "See Your Highness the Crown Prince."

Li Chengqian waved his hand and said, "Gute is here to see you off, have a good trip!"

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

Lin Xuan was slightly disappointed, he thought Li Lizhi was here too.

Li Chengqian said with a smile: "Why does Gu feel that you are a little unhappy that Gu came to see you off?"

"Your Highness has misunderstood. I am very grateful that Your Highness can come to see you off. You will be unhappy like this." Lin Xuan said.

Li Chengqian smiled and said: "I won't tease you anymore, there is still a person waiting for you in Gu's car, you go and talk to her."

Lin Xuan was overjoyed: "Thank you, Your Highness!"

After finishing speaking, Lin Xuan got into Li Chengqian's carriage, opened the curtain, and walked in.

"Lizhi, I'm so happy that you can come."

Lin Xuan grabbed Li Lizhi's hand and said.

Li Lizhi lowered her head shyly, and said in a low voice: "I know you are leaving today, so I pestered the prince brother and asked him to bring me here."

"Are you afraid that I won't come back in time to get married?" Lin Xuan teased.

Li Lizhi shook her head with a blushing face, and said: "You have offended the family, I'm afraid they will attack you in Lusa, can you bring my bodyguard with you?"

"I'll bring your personal guards with me, who will protect you? Besides, we are not married after all. If I really do this, those officials will not impeach me to death." Lin Xuan said.

Although Li Lizhi was not as good as the prince with five hundred personal guards, she also had 200 personal guards.

These 200 people are the elite of the Forbidden Army Zhong, and their combat effectiveness is very strong.

But Lin Xuan couldn't ask for it.

"I've been staying in the palace all the time and rarely go out of the palace. They are usually idle, so it's better to let them follow you to protect you. Don't worry about the officer, I will go and tell my father." Li Lizhi said.

Lin Xuan shook his head and said, "Lizhi, don't worry, since I dare to go, I've already calculated that there will be no danger."

Seeing Lin Xuan's insistence, Li Li nodded her head and said, "That's fine."

Lin Xuan chatted with Li Lizhi for a while, and then said reluctantly: "It's getting late, I have to go, we will get married soon when I come back, and we can see each other every day from now on."

In Li Lizhi's mind, she and Lin Xuan lived together after getting married. With a bright smile on her face, she nodded and said, "I'll wait for you to come back."

Lin Xuan nodded, kissed Li Lizhi on the lips, and said, "I'm leaving."

"Gu thought you two would chat for a long time." Li Chengqian said in surprise when he saw Lin Xuan come down.

Lin Xuan rolled his eyes, if it wasn't inconvenient, he would still want to do something.

But all the eunuchs and maids standing around the carriage, there was a little movement, and it was impossible to hide it.

"Thank you Your Highness."

The thank you before was because Li Chengqian came to see him off, but this time I thank Li Chengqian for bringing Li Lizhi.

Li Chengqian said seriously, "Be careful."

Lin Xuan nodded, got on his horse, clasped his fists and said, "Your Highness, I'm leaving!"

"Jingyang County Hou wait a moment."

Suddenly there was a shout in the distance.

Lin Xuan turned his head to look, and saw Li Junxian running quickly with a team of people.

Lin Xuan was a little puzzled, could it be that Li Shimin was worried about his safety and sent Li Junxian to protect him?

Soon Lin Xuan dispelled this idea. Even if Li Shimin sent someone to protect him, he would only send someone secretly, let alone send Li Junxian.
