Chapter 559: Chapter 559: dicinal Herbs Cost More Than Grain Chapter 559: Chapter 559: dicinal Herbs Cost More Than Grain “So people just won’t listen to Uncle,” Zhao Xinxin wasn’t just making an empty statent; there were indeed so who were not willing to listen to Captain Zhao.
“Let them be. We’ve made a suggestion. Those who want to plant dicinal herbs can do so; those who don’t want to don’t have to. Now that fields have been allocated to households, we can’t force them. When they beco envious of others earning money first in a year, that’s their own fault,” Zhao Tianlei would not take all of this on himself.
Whether they listened or not had nothing to do with him.
After having breakfast, Zhao Tianlei went to send a telegram.
Yun Xiaoxiao took a bus to the biggest library in Capital City to look for books on planting dicinal herbs.
Could they also plant tea?
Callia tea, to be precise, which actually has a nice taste.
After searching for a long ti, she finally found a book on dicinal herbs but didn’t find anything about planting them, so she had to buy so information online.
To plant dicinal herbs, one must first know how to do it.
Captain Zhao received the telegram and found it sowhat strange.
But when he saw the words on the telegram, he was montarily stunned.
Planting dicinal herbs?
And it stated that dicinal herbs are now more valuable than grains.
Unable to sit still, Captain Zhao first gathered so of the team leaders to discuss whether to plant grains or dicinal herbs.
“Team leader, can these dicinal herbs really be planted?”
“Are these herbs truly worth more than grains?”
“Are these herbs easy to cultivate?”
They had no idea how to plant dicinal herbs.
After decades of planting grains, suddenly switching to dicinal herbs was indeed an unknown.
“We could also choose to plant fruit.”
“Fruit?”
What about the seedlings?
“Team leader, if we plant dicinal herbs, where can we buy the seeds?”
Without seeds, everything was just talk.
Captain Zhao watched them discussing and answered their questions one by one.
“My brother Laosan sent the telegram, ntioning the matter of dicinal herbs. If there are people in our team willing to grow them, he will help get the seeds. He also said that there is a high demand for dicinal herbs now, and if we delay further, the prices won’t be as good,” Captain Zhao explained.
Laosan?
The team leader’s wife also went to Capital City.
“We’ll plant in the fields, not in the rice paddies, right?”
If they didn’t have to plant in the rice paddies, they were willing to give it a try.
After all, fields had been allocated to households, and the output of their own patches could still feed a family.
Moreover, if they were dicinal herbs and grew well, they could indeed sell for more than grains.
“We’ll plant in the fields,” he confird.
After discussing for half a day, most of the team leaders agreed.
A few still had so doubts.
“We should call a general eting about this and register which families are willing to plant dicinal herbs,” it was decided.
After dinner, the team-level villagers t at the threshing ground to discuss the matter.
Many people started whispering to one another about the topic instantly.
“After the eting, any family that’s willing to plant dicinal herbs should co and register.”
Sister-in-law Zhao looked at Brother Zhao and asked, “Xiao Mao’s father, should we grow dicinal herbs in our family?”
The corn harvest had been good this year, but if they planted dicinal herbs, there would be no output from the fields.
However, they had several children who needed to attend school and would soon enter junior high, which required a considerable amount of money.
He didn’t want Laosan and his wife to be the only ones working hard in Capital City and taking care of Xiao He and Xinxin as well.
Now that restrictions were relaxed, the price of eggs hadn’t risen, and people were fussy about buying them.
“We’ll plant,” he decided.
He could only work in the fields and sell his labor.
Quite a few families were willing to plant dicinal herbs, and so were not.
Now that fields had been allocated to households, Captain Zhao wouldn’t force them.
Many queued up to register. Who wouldn’t want to earn money? Whether planting grains or dicinal herbs, planting was necessary, and dicinal herbs could fetch a much higher price than grains.
