Chapter 492: The Corn Harvest

Chapter 492

Mo Family was still not stable at the moment, and there would be many unpredictable crises to face in the future.

There were still some business plans that had not started, and the weather was getting colder and colder. It would not last long to make money with ice at this time.

Therefore, He Zhiran decided to use the ice made to help Tang Mingrui store fresh corn first, and talk about other things later.

"My husband, although the method of making ice is simple, after all, we only made a small amount. Brother Tang needs to make an ice storage room there, and the amount of ice needed will not be small."

"I know this clearly. As long as there is enough saltpeter, leave the ice making to me." Now there were so many soldiers raised at home, and they were all trustworthy people.

Mo Jiuye thought that when making ice in large quantities, he would call some soldiers to help.

Especially he had already figured out how to hide the key steps of making ice, and no one could possibly learn it to make ice.

"Well, after arranging the corn harvest tomorrow, take people to Brother Tang's place.

More ice is needed there. It’s not very convenient to make it in Xi Ling Village and then transport it." He Zhiran reminded.

"Okay, leave this matter to me."

As for the source of saltpeter, there was sale in city drugstores, although the price was expensive, it was not a rare thing.

Therefore, He Zhiran’s purchase of a large amount of it from the space would not arouse anyone's suspicion.

Moreover, Mo Jiuye wanted to hide the method of making ice. He also knew that Tang Mingrui was a sensible person who would not stare at other people's secrets.

In short, Mo Jiuye was asked to do this matter, and He Zhiran was at ease.

...

In the future, He Zhiran did not need to worry too much. Mo Jiuye arranged for people to reserve two acres of corn for normal harvesting, which was used to calculate the yield per acre. The rest of the corn in the field was classified. Yôur favorite stories at novelhall.com

The younger ones were piled in one place and used as fresh corn supply for Tang Mingrui. The older ones could be threshed after being dried in the wind and used as seeds provided to the government.

He Zhiran also drew a picture of a simple hand-cranked threshing machine and asked Hu Cong to help make it as soon as possible.

"Ninth brother, the world... No... Yun City folks are lucky...lucky..."

Mo Jiuye patted him on the shoulder.

"Well, the people of Yun City won't have to worry about starving next winter."

There was a lot of arable land in the northwest, but due to the soil conditions, no matter what was planted, the yield could never go up.

The corn from the space was different. It was not affected by the soil or climate. As long as it was not a year of flooding or drought, a bumper harvest was guaranteed.

When Mo Family planted crops in early spring, corn was mainly planted.

At first, they did not expect that the government would purchase corn for seeds to be used next year. He Zhiran and Mo Jiuye only thought that the corn yield was high and could be used as the raw material for staple food. Since they lived in the northwest, they couldn’t watch the surrounding people starve after their own family lived a good life.

So they chose to plant more corn to help those poor people.

Now that Parent Official Meng Huaining was here to arrange this matter, it was more suitable than them taking the lead.

A total of 60 acres of corn were planted. The fresh corn transported away by Tang Mingrui weighed several times more than those threshed corn kernels alone. Therefore, there was still a lot of corn left in Mo Family.

In addition to leaving some corn for their own consumption, Mo Family sold all the rest to the government as seeds for next year.

After weighing, Meng Huaining purchased a total of 50,000 catties of corn kernels from Mo Family, which was enough for the people of Yun City to plant next year.

Since Mo Jiuye and He Zhiran planted corn to help the surrounding people in the first place, they certainly would not charge Meng Huaining too much silver.

As a result, Meng Huaining insisted on handing over all the banknotes sponsored by Tang Mingrui to Mo Jiuye.

"Ninth brother, I know corn is valuable. This is all I have, still sponsored by Boss Tang. If it's not enough, when the government has more tax revenue next year, I will pay you back slowly."

Meng Huaining spoke urgently, as if afraid that the deal would slip away.

Mo Jiuye didn’t intend to take so much silver from him. Just as he was about to carefully calculate in front of Meng Huaining, Meng Huaining had already slipped away in a flash, urging his men to transport the corn seeds to the granary as quickly as possible.

Seeing his eager look, it was as if he had taken a huge advantage that he was afraid the other party would ask for it back...
