[1] After Breaking Off My Marriage, I Became A Powerful Minister's Treasure

105-106

Chapter 105: It was a timely rain!

Early the next morning, Xiao Hanzheng went to the courier station to mail the letter urgently at twice its usual cost.

A few days later, the polygonum multiflorum seedlings that Shi Qingluo nurtured were ready.

Xiao Hanzheng asked Mo Qingling to get someone to deliver them with ox-carts.

Mo Qingling was very interested in this and had selected six villages suitable for growing polygonum multiflorum for the trial planting.

According to Shi Qingluo, polygonum multiflorum would take 2-3 years to grow. Its quality would improve as the planting duration increases.

Planting now meant that they would be ready for harvest before the Qingming festival in the third year.

Since it would take nearly 3 years, he chose a few more villages to reap more benefits if the plan was successful.

Then, he would let other villagers plant it on a large scale.

In the future, polygonum multiflorum's place of origin would be Nanxi county.

Then, they could also open a workshop to make hair growth cream.

Thus, most of the people collected the polygonum multiflorum seedlings.

The seedlings were all purchased by the county yamen for distribution to the villagers for free.

However, they also signed a contract with the villagers.

The seedlings were free of charge, but after harvesting the polygonum multiflorum, they would be sold to the county yamen.

They also set a minimum price, so that in the future, no matter how low the county yamen's purchase price was, there was a limit to how low the price could go.

This also motivated the villagers to plant more diligently.

After all, the price was not low and much more profitable than planting grain.

Profits motivated the villagers.

As expected, the villagers from these 6 villages were very happy after signing the contract. They promised that they would follow the procedure to grow polygonum multiflorum well.

Shi Qingluo and Xiao Hanzheng also followed along the team and distributed the seedlings to the villagers.

Shi Qingluo taught the villagers how to plant them personally.

Before planting, she taught them to add organic fertiliser first.

Organic fertiliser was made from peanut bran and chicken feces, which the villagers had prepared beforehand.

Then, she taught them how to add fertiliser, water, field management, and pest control in great detail.

Mo Qingling also specially tasked the county yamen's secretary to record everything Shi Qingluo said.

In the future, at every fixed time interval, the county yamen's people would come and take a look.

They would also be able to supervise the villagers.

Shi Qingluo also taught everyone how to make organic fertiliser.

She even took some organic fertiliser she made at home and let everyone try it.

The more experienced old farmers didn't mind getting their hands dirty, so they held it up and looked at it.

"The fertiliser is really good. With this fertiliser, not only will we grow some polygonum multiflorum, but we can also use it to grow food and vegetables. It's extremely good."
