Because the commotion was too big, Li Zheng couldn't get justice, so he could only shamelessly invite Ye Yuran.

They looked embarrassed, apologized, and kept their status and attitude very low.

Mother and daughter Ye Yuran recalled the past and sighed a few words, but they did not make things difficult for him and made the decision for him.

I called a load-carrying boy over, and without any nonsense, I directly called the Zhu family's legal team and explained to them the rules of the Zhu family's "carrying-carrying boys" so that it was clear who was right and who was wrong.

Don't talk to them about whether they have something or not. The canteen is a collaboration between the Zhu family and Li Zheng. To put it bluntly, the owner behind it is the Zhu family, which means that the Zhu family has the final say in everything.

Now the Zhu family is doing things according to the "rules". If you don't like it and others don't follow the rules, they will be the ones who suffer.

This year's team of lawyers was brought here by Zhu Gu. He knew that Ye Yuran was going to open a sugar factory in the village and would have to deal with the villagers, so he specially selected some experienced ones.

Don't play tricks on people at the bottom because the people at the bottom won't understand. Just talk in country slang and speak vernacular to let them understand what's going on.

The daughter-in-law's family, who danced fiercely and made a fuss in front of the public, became timid in front of these lawyers in blue robes and long robes. They didn't even dare to fart. They almost did whatever the lawyers said.

Ye Yuran, Zhu Bamei, Gan Yixian, and Rong Qi were sitting aside, calmly drinking their own tea and chatting, accompanied by several villagers.

Everyone in the village felt guilty and nervous, but they soon relaxed under the guidance of Ye Yuran and Zhu Bamei, and inadvertently revealed the specific situation of each village.

"Your village doesn't grow sweet potatoes?" Ye Yuran looked surprised and said, "Why don't you grow them? I don't know how to eat them?"

She thought that the whole world in Dayan knew about sweet potatoes, but she didn’t expect that they didn’t exist in this place?

Before, she only thought that the people in this place were a bit poor, so she didn't think much about it. She just thought it was a water and soil problem, but...

"Do you know the sweet potato flour sold in the canteen? It's made from sweet potatoes. There are also potato chips, sweet potato slices, dried sweet potatoes..."

"There are many things you can do with sweet potatoes. Even if you don't do anything, just plant them, and you can produce three to four thousand catties per acre, and even better ones can produce six or seven thousand catties."

"Put this stuff in a pot and cook it, or burn it in the stove. It tastes soft, glutinous, and sweet. It's as filling as grain."

…

Needless to say, sweet potato starch is sold in tuck shops. At first, people didn’t know what it was made of. They only knew that it was edible like noodles.

After I bought it and tried it at home, I found that it was a little different from noodles. I was not used to it at first, but it was delicious after a few more bites.

Especially when paired with Zhu's soup dumplings, the taste is even better.

Most people are reluctant to part with soup packets, so after the Li Zheng family tried it for themselves, other people heard about it and thought they had no food at home and bought a packet to try when entertaining guests.

Once I tried it, I became addicted and wanted to eat it even if there were no customers.

Fortunately, this thing can be reused, but the taste may change when it is stewed, and the taste may change. But for ordinary people like them, as long as it is not broken, it is edible.

I heard that they didn't plant potatoes in any village. They only started planting potatoes last year. The harvest was okay, but they were not used to eating it. They ate it as a vegetable sometimes and as a meal.

"Potato production is already high enough, but sweet potatoes are even better?!" Li Zheng looked shocked.

When harvesting potatoes last year, all of them were shocked. They only planted a small amount and actually harvested hundreds of catties?

Since this year, many people have sown an acre to grow potatoes. Why don’t they dare to use all of it to grow potatoes?

To put it bluntly, I am still inexperienced and afraid of accidents, so it is safer to plant less. It just so happens that every household in the village has allocated some land to grow beets. If potatoes are grown, it can also make up for some food.

Li Zheng estimated that one acre of potatoes should be able to harvest nearly a thousand kilograms. However, now, Ye Yuran told him that sweet potatoes are three to four times as much as potatoes.

At least three or four times.

He didn't dare to think about that much. What kind of person could he grow an acre of land with a yield of seven to eight thousand?!

Even for rice, they also introduced new planting methods and new grain types, and only seven to eight hundred kilograms per acre of land could be harvested.

Ye Yuran felt that they were still "poor", but from the perspective of the locals, their lives had become much better. In the past, they would go hungry every year before the autumn harvest, digging wild vegetables in the mountains and fields, and searching for food everywhere.

They were so hungry that they were skin and bones, old people were thin, children were too thin, and those with weaker constitutions might not be able to make it to the end of the year. Later, new grain varieties and new planting methods were introduced, which allowed them to have food in their bellies and taste a few meals.

The taste of a full meal.

When Ye Yuran heard what they said, she nodded solemnly: "It's already a bit late this year. Let's do this. I'll find someone to send some sweet potatoes over. You can try planting late potatoes and you'll be able to harvest them in three or four months.

You can find any open space or a ridge. You have to be mentally prepared for the yield, which may not be that high."

"I understand this. If the time is wrong or the planting place is wrong, it is normal for the harvest to be a bit poor. But if it can be planted, we will definitely plant it. This is something that costs three to four thousand per acre. There is no need to plant more. One family can divide one acre.

Eight cents of land, that’s enough for a family to eat..." Having grown potatoes once, Li Zheng has gained experience. No matter what, he has to try it.

No matter how good the food is, they can't eat it, and it's useless no matter how much they plant.

Just like potatoes, those that have sprouted or changed color cannot be eaten because they are poisonous. Sweet potatoes probably also have some disadvantages and are not as good as grains. If they are so good, why didn't our ancestors grow them?

Didn't the ancestors notice it?

Li Zheng didn't believe it.

Ye Yuran unexpectedly made a trip to the village. The dispute was resolved and fresh crops such as sweet potatoes and corn were introduced to the village.

In fact, this village is not particularly closed. When she came, people had already started planting potatoes. But no matter what happened, there was a step-by-step process. They just got a taste of it, and they had to taste it one by one slowly.

.

In the same way, Ye Yuran realized that agricultural promotion might not be as fast as she imagined. In this era, there were no television broadcasts, and everything was transmitted through text and oral communication. It was unimaginable how bad the information gap could be.

If this village is in such a situation, how many villages are there in the same situation that day?

It seems that she has to find a way to expand the newspaper business and reach every corner of Dayan, especially the villages. Only in this way can the latest news spread to every place.

After returning, Ye Yuran immediately wrote a letter to Zhu San.

Zhu San: "..."

No, mother, didn’t you just want to fight in the north or south, now why do you want to make newspapers again?!

Can't you just do it one thing at a time?

I'm almost overwhelmed with your son.

Ye Yuran didn't expect the court's speed. She asked Zhu San for a publishing license, and with Rong Qi, Gan Yixian started running a newspaper at Ruinan Women's Factory.

The "Ruinan Women's Factory News" is published once a month. It talks about the big and small things in the factory, as well as the big and small things of women in the world, and also controls the policies of the imperial court above.

Ye Yuran knew that this kind of written matter required a dedicated person to be responsible for it. If a local person from Ruinan was put in charge, there might be problems in interpreting the court's policies over time, so she wrote directly to Zhu San to ask for someone.

Zhu San: "..."

Mother, do you think I am omnipotent?

At the same time, he also reminded Zhu San that it was time to start the "Dayan Newspaper".

If Emperor Qin wanted his voice to spread to thousands of households and let the common people understand that he was devoted to the people and devoted himself to public service, he had to "speak out."
