After thinking about it, Qin Chuan finally decided to use Luo Wentian, and at most he should focus on his wife.

After chatting for a while, Qin Chuan asked someone to get a pen, ink, paper and inkstone. Wang Jizong began to write a letter, one of which was sent to a man named Li Tang of Shuntian Prefecture. He bought one stone of good-quality jade wheat, five stones of sweet potatoes and twenty stones of local taro in his name, and asked the Beijing Escort Bureau to transport it. The bandits had not yet entered the northeast of Shanxi, and could still transport it east and west.

The reason why Qinchuan wanted so many potato seeds was because this thing consumed a lot of seeds. He had to use a whole potato to cultivate seedlings and sprout, and then cut them into pieces to sow seeds. In later generations, it took about 300 kilograms of seeds per mu to plant large potatoes. Today's potatoes are definitely not that big, but they cost at least 100 kilograms per mu, which is about one stone.

This thing is obviously very high, but this is why the people in the Ming Dynasty did not grow much. When the weather was good, ordinary people could produce three or four stones of grain per mu. Now they have been drought year after year. It would be good if one acre of land could produce two stones per mu. The amount of seeds per mu can scare them.

You know, one stone of food is enough for a farmer to fill his stomach for half a year.

Sweet potatoes are also very seed-consuming crops. If you use potato cube seedling cultivation, you will use nearly one stone of seed per mu. However, this thing can be cut into potato vines for planting. Carefully cultivate sweet potato vines on one acre of land, which can plant dozens of acres of land. The planting cost is much lower than that of potato cube seedling cultivation, so there is no need for too many seeds of sweet potatoes.

Sweet potatoes are a good thing. They can not only be used as food, but also as cooked vegetables. Potato vines and even roots can also be used to feed livestock. They are simply treasures.

This thing must be grown, but Qin Chuan does not intend to be used as staple food for cultivation. Just plant some improvements and improve food and get some forage with different tastes for the horses.

Qinchuan planted potatoes on a large scale. The Loufan potatoes in later generations were very planted and yielded. Nowadays, those unfinished ridges are very suitable for growing potatoes. The yield of this thing is high. Even if it is due to problems such as varieties and fertilizers, it is far less exaggerated than the yield of thousands of kilograms per mu in later generations. However, the potatoes grown by Wang Jizong were 30,000 kilograms per mu during the drought period, and when the rain was sufficient, it was as high as seven or eight kilograms, which was more than twice as high as wheat, millet, millet and other millet.

The second is corn. The land-cleared mountains are also suitable for growing corn. Every household in the Luliang Mountains in later generations would hang a few strings of golden corn cobs at the entrance of their own cave.

Of course, the staple foods such as wheat, millet and millet are planted. The former has a good taste, while millet and millet are the best for resisting drought and cold. Now, the latter two are grown by ordinary people in the Shanxi region.

In addition to these, you also have to plant some beans, one is to improve the food, two is to raise horses, and the third is... and the most important point: fat fields.

Soybean, black beans, mung beans, peas, red beans, etc. These bean plants are all the best green manures. There were no chemical fertilizers in ancient times, and the yield of fertilizers in farmers was too limited. To maintain the fertility of the land, green manure is indispensable.

Therefore, most of the two-year and three-ripening systems planted by northern farmers in the Ming Dynasty would choose to grow green beans to be used to fatten the fields.

Qin Chuan wanted to raise a large number of military horses, but it was not possible to rely on meadows on the mountains alone. He also had to have enough essential materials to feed the horses. Not only did he need to plant beans, but he also had to have a variety of beans.

Another letter from Wang Jizong was written to Luo Wentian.

He was invited to be the shopkeeper in the name of the Meng family, with a monthly salary of two taels of silver, which was more than before when he was a accountant in the Wu family.

With Wang Jizong's handwritten letter and the temptation of money, Luo Wentian should not refuse.

As for Wang Jizong's monthly money, Qin Chuan gave him a high price of 5 taels and gave him a year's salary advance.

The Wang family was just tragic, and they were holding funerals and re-built pots and pans. They used money everywhere, so Qin Chuan still understood this.

Wang Jizong refused for a long time, but when he saw that Qin Chuan had made up his mind, he stopped refusing. He rode his tall horse home to save the money before returning.

Qin Chuan handed over his first job to relocate those refugees, register, screen, select, divide the labor, etc., and then count and register all assets of Mengjiazhuang, including horses and weapons, and register all categories, and indicate the location of the destination.

Song Zhiting had done some of these tasks before, but he was extremely immensely doing them. He poked his mouth with a brush all day long and made his mouth dark.

Qin Chuan simply asked Song Zhiting to take charge of the mine. Anyway, there were more than a dozen managers and accountants there. He only needed to go there every three days, calculate the account book, inspect the mining area, guide the work, and make a few speeches to affirm everyone's work.

Song Zhiting was so happy that he threw all the previous accounts to Wang Jizong on the spot. Then, he led a few old bandits and a dozen Guandi troops to go leisurely to Black Mountain with his pen, ink, paper and inkstone for painting.

Wang Jizong was completely opposite to him. After getting the account, he was busy inside and outside the village.

Qin Chuan became the boss of the hand, went to see Huang Liuxi, and then stood on the roof to see the scenery.

In the afternoon, the brothers who were sent to invite the doctor came back and a pale and half-dead doctor was brought back from Jingle County.

According to several brothers, when the doctor heard that they were from the Loufan Meng family, he immediately closed the door and did not allow them to enter the threshold.

Several brothers took out a large ingot of silver outside the door and begged grandma to sue her grandfather, but the other party refused to open the door and only said one sentence from it: Who doesn't know that the Loufan Meng family has become a thief's nest now. No matter how much money they give, he will never step into the thief's nest.

The brothers were furious and broke open the door on the spot, grabbed the doctor and threw it on the horse's back, and kidnapped the man.

No one dared to stop him along the way out of the county town. The guardians did not react and they rushed out of the city gate.

He galloped dozens of miles, causing the elderly doctor to death. He was frightened and afraid. When he returned to Mengjiazhuang, the doctor could no longer get up.

Qin Chuan didn't blame those brothers. If it were him, he would probably have done this. He only brought tea and drank a few sips of the doctor. After a while, he could barely get back to his soul.

"Doctor, are you okay?"

Seeing that the old man's pupils seemed to be focused, Qin Chuan squatted down and asked in a harmonious manner.

The little old man shivered and hurriedly knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "Good man, please spare me, please spare me..."

"Well, doctor, I'm not a bad guy. My name is Qin Chuan. I'm the new inspector of the Loufan Inspection Department and the chief supervisor of Mengjiazhuang. Please get up quickly."

When he heard the three words "Advisor", the old man's eyes lit up, but after seeing the group of evil thieves who were eyeing him with fierce appearances, his expression became depressed and gloomy again.

Qin Chuan had no choice but to lift him up with his arm and asked in a harmonious voice: "Doctor's surname?"

"Don't let your surname be."

"It turns out that it is Doctor Fang, who is disrespectful and disrespectful. That's it. Doctor Fang, a friend of mine was injured and caused a fever. However, there was no doctor in Loufan Town. He had no choice but to invite Doctor Fang. My friends have never learned ethics and are a little rude. Doctor Fang, you should take care of him."

"Take it, take it..." The old man no longer knew what to say.

"Doctor Fang is generous and embraces all kinds of rivers. Qin admires him. He also asked Dr. Fang to go upstairs to treat Qin's friend."

"well……"

The old man had long lost the idea of ​​resisting, so he had to follow him upstairs obediently.

When he came upstairs and saw Huang Liuxi lying in the room, the old man looked solemn and walked over quickly. He first looked at the wound, then looked at his tongue with his mouth, and finally took his pulse.
