In the past, even though Henan was a plain area with a lot of land, most of the land was owned by landlords, gentry and the princes of the Ming Dynasty. In the hands of the poor, they, the lower class people, do not have their own land at all.
Therefore, for the past thirty years, Old Man Guo's life was gloomy, very poor, exhausted, not enough to eat, and even unable to marry a wife.
At this moment 7 5zw.com Zhang Si. Later, along with the immigrant army, they came to the Hezhong area and immigrated to Longtou Town.
强牺 bxwx.co 读牺。 From then on, he settled here and quickly became rich. He owned a large area of ??arable land and could not eat enough food. After that, I started to engage in farming like the people around me, raising cattle, sheep, horses, pigs, chickens, ducks and geese.
Life is getting richer and richer, and when I was in my thirties, I married several wives and concubines, although they were all foreigners or female slaves from Europe.
But for old man Guo, this is enough. He never dared to think about women in the past. Now there are several immigrated here, and he has given birth to a lot of children. He also has more and more money and property in his hands. , life gets better and better.

??Looking at it now, I have a big belly.
"Agriculture is the foundation of the country. Farmers are related to the prosperity of our Ming Dynasty. If agriculture is prosperous, the Ming Dynasty will be prosperous. If agriculture is stable, the Ming Dynasty will be stable~"

"What are you planning to plant this year?"
After getting excited, Old Man Wang looked at everyone and asked with a smile.

But now, food is no longer valuable and difficult to sell. People are not very motivated to grow food. The grain output of the Ming Dynasty is very high and there is simply no way to eat it. Therefore, everyone is gradually leaning towards planting more valuable economic products. crop.
At the same time, farming has gradually become everyone¡¯s side job, and everyone¡¯s main job isEngage in breeding, chickens, ducks, geese, pigs, cattle, horses, sheep, etc.

"I originally planned to grow cotton, but I heard that the price of cotton has dropped now, and it is very troublesome to pick cotton. There is no way to use machines, so I decided to forget it after thinking about it."
Old man Li thought for a while and said: "I plan to keep it the same way, one-third to wheat and rice, one-third to corn and sweet potatoes, and the remaining one-third to various vegetables."
¡°What do you think about growing beets?¡±
"I heard that this beet can be used to make sugar. It seems to be good."
Control the big one and control the owl. Old Man Wang thought for a while and said.
"Come on, now those who grow sugar cane in Nanyang are switching to rubber and fruit. We will also grow sugar beets. By then, we will only be able to chop them into pieces and feed them to pigs."
"It's just that sugar beets are not suitable for growing here. It's not cold enough here. Liaodong and Black Soil Province are the most suitable. I think it's better to forget it. The price of sugar is also constantly falling."
"I'm going to plant some soybeans and peanuts. They are relatively easy to sell now and the price is okay. The soybeans can also be used to extract oil, and the price is quite good."

"Soybeans and peanuts are okay. Once they are planted, they don't need to be managed. There are few things to do and the price is okay."
When Old Man Guo heard this, he nodded quickly and said, "I also plan to plant some soybeans and peanuts this year."
"If you plant it, I'll plant some too. Now I'm afraid of growing cotton. There are too many things to do. It's easier to plant sweet potatoes and corn."
"What vegetables are you going to grow?"

"That's right, there are just those kinds of vegetables. These are the ones that are easy to grow and easy to grow. Some of them are more expensive, but there are so many things to do, so I am too lazy to grow them."
Old man Wang nodded and said.
