Without needing to work, the farmers who were guarding the land stayed behind with interest. They smiled and asked, "Why is the Great Empress thinking of planting mushrooms?"

Every time Bai Wutong discovered a delicious vegetable and fruit, she would always use the vegetables and fruits to make all kinds of delicious food. Then, she would let the food factory process them into various products. After receiving everyone's unanimous approval, she would often let the farmers plant them themselves. If they reclaimed more than an acre of wasteland, she would even give them subsidies for planting.

The more land they cultivated, the more land they would have the right to use and the more subsidies they would receive. This allowed them to live a good life without working in workshops. Moreover, these lands could bring them a great sense of satisfaction.

Every time Bai Wutong had something new for everyone to plant, this batch of farmers would always be the most proactive. For fruit trees and crops that had no benefits in the first few years, they would be given more subsidies to plant them.

A few people had planted mushrooms before. It would take at least two years for the mushrooms to grow. Since they were certain that they could receive subsidies, they naturally did not want to let go of the chance.

He Guihua smiled and said, "The Great Empress said that the price of mushrooms has always been high, especially in the winter, they're even more expensive. When we plant the mushrooms, not only can we eat them ourselves, but we can also process them into all kinds of dry goods, canned food, and medicine. We can earn a lot of money."

No matter how expensive mushrooms were, they could not be more expensive than pearls.

.....

Moreover, the production of mushrooms was easily affected by the climate and conditions. It was a fool's dream to supply it to the processing plant in the long term.

However, it was Bai Wutong's words after all. Everyone only asked, "How much subsidy is given for an acre of land?"

He Guihua knew what the subsidy they were talking about was and explained, "There's no subsidy for planting mushrooms. You have to pay extra money to build a separate mushroom cultivation room and learn how to plant mushrooms."

As soon as these words were spoken, the farmers' expressions changed.

They were not given any subsidies and would have to pay to plant mushrooms. Who would be willing to do that?

Mushrooms were not like pearls that were irreplaceable treasures and could definitely earn money.

Mushrooms were produced everywhere. If they couldn't afford it, they could just stop eating.

When He Guihua saw everyone's expressions, she immediately added, "It doesn't take much money to build the mushroom cultivation room and make fungi bags. Moreover, the yield is as high as a few hundred catties per mu of land. We can harvest it in a month."

As soon as she said this, the farmers all looked doubtful.

Although they knew that Bai Wutong was capable in many aspects, how could mushrooms be produced at hundreds of catties per mu of land?

It was even more ridiculous to think that they could harvest in a month.

No one believed it. Even if some people believed it, they wanted to see the mushrooms produced with their own eyes before they were willing to plant them.
