“Encourage all villages and towns to develop industries that suit their local characteristics. For villages and towns that have good plans, the Imperial Residence will implement favorable policies and even provide monetary support!”
As Head Fang spoke, he raised his head and looked at Lin Xiaoyue.
He knew that Prince Anyang had made such a policy announcement because he had listened to their mistress’s suggestion.
Their mistress was really a genius!
“Yes.” Lin Xiaoyue responded and looked at Head Fang.
Before the policy was announced, Prince Anyang even went to Clear Spring Manor several times to ask for her opinion.
“What I mean is…” Head Fang looked up at Lin Xiaoyue again.
“Why don’t we contact the mayor of Qingshi Town and encourage the villagers to raise their own pigs? We can sign a purchase contract with the villages. After the contract is due, we can go directly to the villagers’ homes to collect the Pigs.”
“Although we have built many pig farms, the number of pigs we can raise is still limited. Only by mobilizing the power of the people can we completely solve the problem.”
Lin Xiaoyue muttered to herself.
“But if we let the commoners raise pigs, I’m afraid it won’t be so easy to solve the problem of pig feed.” When the commoners fed the pigs, most of them went up the mountain to harvest pigweed.
If every household went up the mountain, the pigweed on the mountain might not be enough.
“That will depend on you.” Head Fang said.
Lin Xiaoyue was puzzled.
“Sweet potatoes and sweet potato vines are the best pig feed. Moreover, it could be used to fill one’s stomach and feed other livestock.”
“As long as Miss is willing to disclose how to grow sweet potatoes and distribute the sweet potato seeds, the matter of raising pigs will most likely succeed.”
Lin Xiaoyue instantly fell silent.
Disclose the sweet potatoes to the public?
After Prince Anyang found out about the sweet potatoes, he also mentioned this to her, but she never agreed.
But now…
After weighing the pros and cons in her heart, Lin Xiaoyue finally nodded.
“Alright! Then let’s give it a try!” She continued.
Head Fang was delighted.
“Great!” He hurriedly bowed to Lin Xiaoyue.
“Sweet potatoes can not only be used to feed livestock, but can also be made into sweet potato powder and vermicelli.”
“These two are treasures.”
“When the sweet potatoes in our manors are ready, I’m going to build two workshops to make sweet potato powder and vermicelli separately.”
Head Fang was shocked.
Although he didn’t know what the sweet potato powder and vermicelli that his mistress was talking about were. However, he believed that it was definitely something good.
Lin Xiaoyue looked at Head Fang.
“Since we want to disclose the planting method of sweet potatoes, we should also inform the villagers that our manor will purchase the excess sweet potatoes in their hands in the future.”
“As for the price…1 wen per 3 catties. If the quantity is large, we can provide our own carriages and go to the villages to collect the goods.”
Sweet potato powder was also known as meat tenderizer powder. After it was processed, everyone would definitely like it.
The vermicelli was easy to store and delicious when cooked.
Most importantly, she had been waiting for the hot and sour noodles to be released in Liu’s Express.
Oh, right, sweet potatoes could also be made into dried sweet potatoes and sold as snacks.
If there were too many sweet potatoes, and she had enough manpower, she could build another sweet potato workshop.
Thinking of this, Lin Xiaoyue did not reject the idea.
“Yes! The manor had to be able to recover the excess sweet potatoes. That way, we would not have to worry about the supply in the future.” Head Fang replied.
Lin Xiaoyue nodded.
“Then 1’11 leave this matter to you. You can talk to the mayor.”
“Yes, Miss!” Head Fang hurriedly said.
After listening to Lin Xiaoyue’s instructions for a while, he left.
In the blink of an eye, it was the middle of August.
It was finally the season to harvest sweet potatoes.
In various manors, the men of the Nangong Army were digging out sturdy sweet potatoes from the ground.
Because the ground was well taken care of, most of the sweet potatoes were big. The one that grew the best weighed almost 3 catties.
Some of the sweet potatoes that grew better even grew into conjoined pieces, and their total weight could even exceed 10 catties.
The entire Nangong Army was delighted to see such results.
One by one, they dug up the sweet potatoes with great enthusiasm.
When Prince Anyang heard the news, he personally brought Liang Yu to the manor to check.
Their eyes lit up when they realized that the yield of sweet potatoes was so shocking.
After that, they visited the pig farms and saw the sweet potatoes being processed into pig and chicken feed..
