Chapter 65 Chen's Secret Planting Base
"If it can really grow, this famine is nothing to Chen Cheng." Chen Xuan said with a smile.
"Not only that." Chen Yang took over the words, "At that time, my Chen family has so much food. If you use it well, you may not be able to grab benefits for the family."
"But the head of the house, how do you provide fertilizer for these ordinary grains?" Lingmi can use the spirit grass regurgitated by green horned bulls, but what is the best use for ordinary rice?
"Use the feces of ordinary people or qi martial artists."
"Faeces?" Chen Xuan was dumbfounded. Can this thing be used as fertilizer?
Seeing Chen Xuan like this, Chen Yang knew that he would not believe it, and then smiled: "Elder, whether it succeeds or not, you will know after a try."
"Okay, you can give it a try. How to do it?" Chen Xuan thought for a moment, then made up his mind, and immediately asked how to use the feces.
"It's very simple, choose a sunny place, don't be in the wind. Dig a pit with a depth of five feet and a custom length and width."
"After stirring the manure, rice husks and weeds evenly, pile them into the pit. When the color becomes darker and there is no odor, it can be used."
"As for the time, I'm not sure, just watch it carefully when the time comes."
In the past life, the natural fermentation time was generally half a year, but here, Chen Yang didn't dare to make a deal.
What if, what if time becomes longer or shorter?
"Okay, I'll send someone to try it right away." Immediately, Chen Xuan called the person in charge of the farm and told him the method of preparing the fertilizer, so that he could do it quickly.
Then Chen Xuan looked at Chen Yang again, "Patriarch, if the cultivation is successful, who will plant it?"
"With so much land, our Chen family can't grow it. But if we let tenants plant it, and if our secrets are exposed, what will happen?"
This is indeed a difficulty. If the Chen family alone grows it, they will not be able to grow much food.
By then, all plans will be in vain.
But as the elder said, if it is a tenant, it is likely to be leaked.
After thinking again and again, Chen Yang gritted his teeth, "Using a tenant, anyway, when the feces can really be used, the appearance has changed greatly."
"In addition, without the smell, they may not be able to recognize it. When the secret is leaked, we will say that we discovered it by accident."
"When the time comes, if you sell these things, maybe you can earn spirit stones. And I'm still a disciple of the Duke of Deshun, so they don't dare to ask us for it."
"Even if you go to the royal family, you will take into account the face of the King of Deshun."
Chen Yang has already thought about it. Anyway, when they find out that the Chen family has a steady stream of food, they will inevitably find problems.
In this case, it is better to use tenants to grow rice in large quantities.
And with the current reputation of the Chen family, those tenants are really not sure, go and tell others. After all, if they grow food for the Chen family, they can also get a lot of food.
In times of famine, food is more important than anything else.
With the protection of himself, coupled with the surveillance of the Chen family, he may really be able to hide for a long time.
After the two discussed the matter, the elder was in charge of the fertilizer, while Chen Yang went to the county office to inform the county magistrate of what happened in Chencheng.
The county magistrate may have known about it, but the Chen family had to report it.
Inside the county office, looking at Chen Yang, who was sitting in front of him, drinking tea leisurely, the county magistrate couldn't help but say, "My Patriarch Chen, this is burning your eyebrows, why do you still have the time to drink tea?"
Chen Yang put down the tea cup, then looked at the magistrate, "Lord magistrate, this kind of thing is definitely not something that this city and county can solve."
"Now you and I can only sit here, drinking tea, waiting for the order from above."
Hearing what Chen Yang said, the county magistrate also felt that this was the case, and immediately said: "Yes, we really have no choice but to wait.
"
This wait is seven days.
Within seven days, the food crisis in Jiangzhou had completely detonated. Countless farmers are in danger, not knowing what to do in the future.
If it wasn't for the fact that every household had a little stock of grain, and the merchants in Jiangzhou also had grain for sale, there would have been chaos long ago.
However, the impact of the food crisis has already begun to emerge. In major merchants, the amount of food has increased tenfold.
And some big firms have even begun to trade spirit stones.
Although a spirit stone can buy a large amount of food, at present, no one is willing to use the spirit stone to buy food.
As for the future, it's hard to say.
And all the major families in Jiangzhou took the opportunity to buy food, and groups of convoys went to other states. If Dagan hadn't issued an emergency ban, preventing the Jiangzhou family from going out of the state to buy food, I am afraid that the food in other places would have been sold short.
Chen's house, in the conference hall.
Chen Yang looked at the magistrate, thought for a moment with the tea in his hand, and then said, "Is it true that we should let our aristocratic family solve it by ourselves?"
Seeing this, the county magistrate smiled helplessly: "Patriarch Chen, this is the third time you have asked, and I will explain it to you again."
"Da Gan Ren Wang Zhao ordered: Special order, the major families solve the food problem within their respective spheres of influence, and the Da Gan will rescue a certain amount of food according to the grade."
"I know this edict, I'm just curious, the royal family really doesn't care?" Chen Yang asked.
The county magistrate smiled bitterly and said, "Patriarch, to put it in a bad way. In the past, these cities, territories, and populations have almost become the private property of major families."
"Now that there is a food crisis, the major families do not solve it, but let the royal family solve it. This is unreasonable."
The county magistrate's words made Chen Yang dumbfounded. After all, Chen Yang always believed that Chen Cheng was the territory of the Chen family.
Moreover, the Chen family has enjoyed the worship of Chencheng for many years, and controls all the businesses in Chencheng that can produce spirit stones. Apart from the taxes that must be paid, they have not left a cent to the royal family.
Now that there is a problem, it is natural for you to solve it yourself. The fact that Dagan can support a certain amount of food is also due to the face of taxation.
"When will the royal family's food be delivered?" Chen Yang asked again.
"Let's do it within a month. But even if it is shipped, it will be enough for the people of Chencheng to eat for a year at most. If you want to restore these black lands to their original state, they will not be able to achieve it without more than ten years of accumulation."
As soon as he said this, the county magistrate's face was full of sadness.
Relying on the credit for defending Chen Cheng this time, he was about to be transferred away. Now that this has happened again, the day of promotion is far away.
Seeing the difficulty of the magistrate, Chen Yang immediately smiled and said, "Don't worry, the magistrate, my Chen family will be able to solve this problem perfectly."
Seeing that Chen Yang was so confident, the county magistrate then said: "If that's the case, then please ask the Chen family. Well, things are busy, so don't disturb the Chen family."
"Lord County magistrate walk slowly." Chen Yang watched the magistrate and left the council hall.
