Although Ye Yuran doesn't have to do the farming himself, he still has to go around the fields from time to time to check out the situation.

Seeing that Zhu Da and the others had been working hard, she also told them to take it easy and rest more when they felt tired. At most, the work of one day could be divided into two days, so it was still enough.

"Mom, it's okay. The land will be plowed soon. When the winter sweet potatoes are planted in the ground, everything will be done. I'll have plenty of time to rest."

Zhu Da, Zhu Er, Zhu Si, Zhu Wu, etc., none of them felt tired.

As long as you can grow something to eat, it doesn't matter how hard you work.

In the past, Zhu Si and Zhu Wu were the most lazy in the family. They did not expect to become so "diligent" this year, and Ye Yuran was a little surprised.

But she soon figured out that there was only a small amount of land planted in previous years, and no matter how she planted it, the final harvest would not change much.

It's normal for them to want to be lazy.

But this year is different. If the land is planted well, the harvest will increase. Even the recovered things can bring them a considerable "income".

Millet is the staple food of the family and cannot be sold, but aren’t there also sweet potatoes?

After the sweet potato slices are dried, they can be ground into powder, blanched into sweet potato flour, or made into sweet potato cakes, which can be used for business.

The men of the Zhu family cannot do business, but they can "sell" what they grow to others.

Therefore, the Zhu family's daughters-in-law, who were responsible for business, "purchased" sweet potato flour from the men, made it into various foods, and then sold it to others.

Although the purchase price of raw materials is not as good as the "processing price" and "commission fee" paid by the Zhu family's daughters-in-law later, for a man who has no income all year round, it is still a very considerable income.

It’s much more profitable than their “tuition fees” for collecting compost.

Returning from the fields, Ye Yuran met Gan Yixian who had been waiting for a long time on the roadside.

It had been a while since the last time he "caught an adulterer" Old Man Zhu. For some reason, Ye Yuran reflexively looked around to see if anyone was there.

"Aunt Zhu..." The smile on Gan Yixian's face was a bit flattering.

"I don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for anything, what's the matter this time? You've run out of 'food' again, and you want to come to our house to exchange for food?" Ye Yuran also joked after saying this.

When will the young master who is doing a private visit incognito be short of food?

Gan Yixian touched his nose and felt very uncomfortable: "It's okay, I just came to take a look. Isn't this the recent autumn harvest? I heard that Aunt Zhu's family has a bumper harvest this year, so I want to congratulate you."

Ye Yuran raised his eyebrows: "It's not a good harvest. We have allocated some land to plant sweet potatoes. The harvest of millet is about the same as in previous years, not much more."

"I've heard that the overall harvest is not much different from previous years, but isn't that because there is much less land to grow millet than in previous years? Coupled with the yield of sweet potatoes, it will be a bumper harvest this year, isn't it?

What is a good harvest?" Gan Yixian's eyes lit up when he mentioned the harvest, because this was related to his "performance appraisal."

As a god, life is not that easy.

Especially for a land god like him, what he assesses is the harvest of fertile fields within his jurisdiction.

If the weather goes well and the people have a good harvest, then he will be able to get an "excellent" and be promoted. If natural disasters continue and the people have no harvest, then his performance book will be marked with a "big cross", and the future will not be good.

It will be better.

"Besides, aren't you planning to plant a season of winter sweet potatoes? By then, there will definitely be another bumper harvest."

Others dare not say this, but who is Gan Yixian? He is the land god at the foot of Taidang Mountain. Although his current jurisdiction is only as big as Zhujia Village, he can still foresee whether there will be a good harvest.

This year there will be moderate sunshine and rain, and there will be no signs of natural disasters.

As long as Ye Yuran and the others plant sweet potatoes according to their previous planting experience, even if the harvest is not as good as the previous one, it is still good.

"I hope so." Ye Yuran did not embarrass him any more.

After all, he has good intentions, and he cannot be blamed for what happened to Old Man Zhu before, and it was not him who made Old Man Zhu "cheat".

He wanted to "stop" it because he was afraid that she would make a fuss, but it was actually for her own good.

"I have kept in mind what Aunt Zhu said before. Don't worry, I will never interfere with your farming matters, nor will I urge you to pass on your skills to others. What you have done is actually better than I imagined.

..." Gan Yixian said sincerely, "If I had followed my previous method, they might not have believed it, but after trying your method, they all believed it."

"As long as you don't regard these peasants with their faces turned to the loess and their backs to the sky as fools, you will understand that no one is stupid. They believe that pie will fall from the sky. You just tell people that this thing is easy to use and that thing is easy to use.

It's weird that others would pay attention to you." Ye Yuran nodded and said, "Seeing is believing and hearing is false. No matter how much you talk, it's better to have someone take the lead and do it first, so that the people next to you can see the effect, and the rest will follow naturally.

Someone will follow suit, and they will follow you without even shouting."

"So, it's no wonder that you secretly do it yourself first and then let everyone know about it. This sweet potato seedling has been very popular even before you start planting it. I heard many people asking about it. It's just a pity that you prepared it.

There are a little few seedlings and not enough points..." Gan Yixian naturally knows that if you just want to get more sweet potato seedlings, there are many ways.

But Ye Yuran was not the same. He insisted on giving only a little to each family, which was completely "limited".

She looked at him deeply and said, "This is called 'hunger marketing'."

"What's the meaning?"

"You know how to fight against rice and win over rice, right? A person needs three big bowls to eat. If I give him ten bowls at once, will he still cherish it? Certainly not. He won't be able to finish ten bowls every day.

If it takes a long time, it will definitely be wasted. But I only give him one bowl, and it’s not free, so he can use his own labor to exchange for it. He can only exchange for this little bit, and he can’t even eat it.

Being full seems particularly rare, do you think he can not cherish it?"

Gan Yixian thought thoughtfully: "Aunt Zhu specifically refused to give Lu Daya, Lu Erya, and Lu Sanya a full meal. Is this the reason?"

Ye Yuran raised his eyebrows: "You know our family's affairs quite clearly."

Gan Yixian realized that he had let it slip, and the expression on his face was sarcastic: "Hehehehe... I heard it, I heard it..."

Ye Yuran was speechless: Are you kidding me? Only family members know about this and no one has spread it. Where did he "hear" about it?

"If you don't want to tell the truth, then just don't tell it. If you tell it so falsely, others won't believe it." Ye Yuran changed the subject after speaking pointedly, "Our family will not hide the planting skills.

People, when the time comes, we will take everyone to plant sweet potatoes in winter, and plant millet in spring next year. If anyone is willing to follow, we will teach them for free... Don’t worry, as long as they taste the sweetness, it will only take three to five years for the new plant to grow.
