Chapter 317: I can wake up laughing even in my dreams
Someone nearby chimed in: "Although it costs money, you get what you pay for. It's well worth the money."
"Yes, I am willing to spend the money." The villager who spoke was very happy when he thought that he didn't have even half an acre of land a few days ago, but now he has twenty acres of land.
You know, before he left his hometown, his family only had six acres of land and three acres of land.
After working hard for a year, he paid the land tax and had to make just enough to support his family, let alone sell it.
I never dared to imagine that I would have so many acres of land before.
"I heard that the grain seeds given by the young master are different from the ones we planted before. They are said to be specially cultivated."
"Yes, it is said that all the fields that can be planted in Taohua Village have been planted."
Futaoxia Village and Futaoshang Village were raising seedlings and transplanting rice seedlings at the same time.
When raising seedlings, using seedling trays is novel, but with the agricultural machine in front, it doesn’t seem like a big deal.
However, when it came time to plant the rice seedlings, people from the two villages started talking about it.
"Just throw it away like that?"
“Even though they were lost row by row, they were still lost.”
"How can you survive if you're staggering?"
"This, this is not a waste of grain."
"Yes, it's hard to make up for it after the rice planting season."
Bai Dazhi, who was in charge of the planting guidance, listened to everyone talking at once, raised his hand to calm them down, and said loudly: "Don't worry if they fall over. There are lumps of mud under the rice seedlings. They will stand up again."
As if he was afraid that people present would not believe him, he added: "We grow it this way in our village too."
At that time, the people in Taohua Village were also worried about this, but they trusted Bai Tao more, so they followed the video without saying a word.
Bai Dazhi: "If you don't believe me, go to the fields in our village and see if the rice seedlings are standing firmly."
He could understand the concerns of the people in the two villages, after all, he felt the same way.
In the days after the seedlings were planted, Bai Dazhi went to the fields three or five times a day to check on the condition of the seedlings. He saw the changes in the seedlings with his own eyes, and naturally he felt very justified.
"Our village provided the seeds for the crops, and we also have a share of the harvest. There's no reason for us to cheat you."
When the people present heard this, they agreed. They were a subsidiary village of Taohua Village and should pay tribute to Taohua Village.
If the crops in their fields fail to produce a harvest, Taohua Village will also fail to produce a harvest, and the grain seeds will be wasted, which will not be worth the loss.
But some people are still worried: "If the seedlings stand up on their own, will it delay their absorption of nutrients and the harvest will be poor?"
"Yes, this seedling is leaning all over the place, so it must be weak, right?"
Bai Dazhi: “No.”
"Don't underestimate the tenacity of plant life. Besides, the grains we give you are all improved high-yield grains, and the fertilizers we use are also good stuff. Just wait, the harvest will not be bad."
After a pause, Bai Dazhi added: "At least the yield will definitely be better than the crops you planted before."
Although Taohua Village also tried it for the first time this year, they can clearly see the grain yield in the video.
Even if the final harvest is only half of what is shown in the video, it is still very gratifying.
Hearing Bai Dazhi's confident words, the people present looked at each other and put their worries aside.
Fearing that Bai Dazhi would be unhappy, some villagers hurriedly began to explain.
"Brother Dazhi, it's not that we don't believe you, we're just not sure. After all, we've never heard of farming like this."
"Yeah, we don't have much experience, so we don't know about this novel planting method. It's normal that we are unsure." "Yes, that's right, take the seedling tray for example. Before I saw it, who would have thought that seedlings could be grown like this."
"Yes, yes..."
Bai Dazhi: "It's okay. It takes time to accept new things. I understand you."
“But don’t worry, if you follow our planting method and don’t get a harvest, your losses will be compensated by our village.”
If the people in the upper and lower villages had already felt half relieved after Bai Dazhi's explanation, then the remaining half of their worries had also been dispelled.
Zhou Yang: "Not really, not really. It's not that we don't trust the young master, it's just that we don't have much experience and are a little timid."
Kong Daming: "Yes, it's not that we don't believe in Xiao Dong's scientific planting method, but we haven't tried it, so we are worried."
"As the saying goes, the first time is new, the second time is ripe. After this crop is planted, everyone will have experience and this kind of situation will definitely not happen again."
"Yes, yes."
Bai Dazhi smiled and looked unconcerned: "It's okay, as long as you understand it."
"However." Bai Dazhi paused, looked around, and said with a warning: "I'll leave this alone for now."
"If someone disobeys our instructions and causes a sharp drop in food production, don't blame us for being rude."
It’s no wonder that Bai Dazhi made such harsh remarks. To put it in my own words, in a big forest, there will always be a few self-proclaimed smart idiots who act as troublemakers.
So it is necessary to give a warning first.
Everyone present was stunned. Then, Zhou Yang quickly came to his senses and said hurriedly, "I will definitely urge everyone to follow the arrangements."
Kong Daming also hurriedly responded: "No, no, we will definitely not do anything rash."
The villagers also spoke up and promised to follow the arrangements.
They know Taohua Village's methods too well, and no one wants to confront Taohua Village.
The grain seeds are provided free of charge by Taohua Village, and the planting guidance is provided by people from Taohua Village. They just need to follow the instructions, and if the grain harvest is not good in the end, Taohua Village will still provide a guarantee. Anyone who is not stupid knows how to choose.
Upon hearing this, Bai Dazhi immediately smiled as if there was a spring breeze blowing on his face, and said, "Of course, there must be rewards if there is a punishment."
"Our aunt said that if anyone takes good care of the crops and can produce more than 600 catties per mu, she will be rewarded with one or two taels of silver."
Although one tael of silver is not a lot, with the improved grain varieties that Bai Tao selected from the mall and the proper use of fertilizers, it would be hard to imagine a low yield.
This tael of silver is equivalent to being given for free.
Six hundred kilograms per mu?
When the people present heard this, they were all in disbelief.
You know, they have been growing crops for many years, and even the most experienced farmers find it extremely difficult to produce 300 kilograms per mu.
Bai Dazhi naturally saw the difficulty on everyone's faces. He smiled and said, "Since our aunt said so, she must have her reasons."
"Anyway, you should weed when it's time and fertilize when it's time, and don't worry about the rest."
Since he said so, everyone had no choice but to respond.
But many people don't have much hope for this or that tael of silver.
Some people even murmured in private: "Six hundred kilograms per mu? If it can be three hundred kilograms per mu, I will wake up laughing in my dreams."
"Yes, if we can really produce 600 kilograms per mu, then my ancestors' graves will surely be filled with smoke."
We will take a long-term view on this matter of explosive update~
