Chapter 1508: Chapter 1507 Earning Money, Earning Money_1 Chapter 1508: Chapter 1507 Earning Money, Earning Money_1 After settling the waterlons and crayfish, many people were reassured.
Last sumr, everyone who had tasted these two delicacies was quite concerned about them. Now that both had been taken care of, they only needed to wait patiently for the outco.
Of course, this would still require a large amount of chili peppers.
Yang Wenxiao considered chili peppers and corn the most valuable crops. As soon as they matured, he would imdiately sow the seeds again. In the winter, he spent a fortune to grow them on heated brick beds, and under such circumstances, chili peppers and corn had now both been cultivated on a large scale.
Only the seeds of chili peppers needed planting; the skins were edible, and Yang Wenxiao had saved quite a lot.
With high yields from corn, and the most experienced farrs carefully tending it, its productivity had increased even more. Every ti the corn matured, he could indulge himself in a al.
But it was just one al.
He refrained from eating too much.
Yang Hao had even advised him on this matter before. It’s just a few ears of corn, right? If you want to eat them, eat them. There’s no need to be so frugal, especially since you’re Daqi’s retired emperor and already of such an age. To be so sparing for a single bite of food is distressing to see, Yang Hao thought as a grandson.
Now that there were sweet potatoes, there was hardly any famine in the land. The rapid spread of corn had little impact on the common people, so Yang Wenxiao could eat as much as he wanted.
When Yang Wenxiao heard this, he smiled. True, the common people were no longer lacking food, but those who enjoyed gourt foods were missing corn.
The taste of corn was excellent, with corn porridge alone captivating him. It could also be stewed with various ingredients or simply roasted. With so many ways to prepare it, if sold, it could certainly be exchanged for a good amount of money.
With that, the money for road construction would be available again.
To be honest, even as Daqi’s retired emperor, his wealth was finite. His private treasury was to be passed down to his descendants, and road and canal building belonged to Daqi’s public works, which should be funded by the National Treasury.
If the National Treasury was out of money, then money had to be made through various ans.
He truly hoped to see the landscapes of Daqi once more in his lifeti.
These roads, these canals, needed construction, and it had to be done quickly.
After he expressed his thoughts like this, Yang Hao fell silent. The best he could do was to handle various state affairs diligently, to minimize Yang Wenxiao’s concerns. As for making money, that task could only be entrusted to Qiao Xiaomai.
Qiao Xiaomai had been busy mass-producing Floral Dew lately, so busy that she hardly had ti to leave her ho. But for the sake of the quality of the waterlons and crayfish, she still went to Yang Hao’s Field Manor under the heavy guard of the Imperial Guards. She needed to spread more Spiritual Spring water —she was counting on these items to make a big profit this sumr.
Previously at the manor, she grew crops like sweet potatoes, soybeans, and sesa. The original prices for these items were very low. Even if she raised the price tenfold or twentyfold, it would only amount to a few hundred wen. There really wasn’t much profit in growing these.
And as for pork, even if one pig could sell for a thousand taels silver, raising a single pig took a year. Over such a long period, even if she raised ten thousand pigs, the annual inco would only be ten million taels silver, and that would still need to cover feed costs and labor.
Thus, it was better to grow waterlons and raise crayfish. Last year, they created a buzz with scarcity marketing, building a strong presence and anticipation. This sumr, if they were launched again, they would certainly make a fortune.
During this ti, Tongsanro kept writing his new book. He couldn’t go anywhere and had to stay ho to recover from his illness. Once his plot was outlined, the writing flowed effortlessly. In the process, he consulted Bei Lingsu about so dical knowledge. After he finished the first draft, he presented it to Yang Wenxiao for review.
