Translator: Lonelytree 

Lin Yuelan frowned slightly and asked, “You don’t even know nursery and transplantation Then, how do you plant rice?”

Lin Yuelan hadn’t asked around or had Little Green find out, so she assu Zhennan and Guo Bing’s questions, she realized the proble the border, he planted rice like other soldiers

He answered very seriously, “We drop the seeds in the field and wait for thes like transplantation and nursery before”

Guo Bing listened very seriously and did not interrupt Although he had not heard of the far methods used by Lin Yuelan, he chose to believe her

!!

Lin Yuelan bluntly pointed out, “if we just directly scatter the seeds in the field, won’t it waste the seeds, and the yield will be low?”

Jiang Zhennan answered honestly, “one mu of land requires at least one to two Si of seeds, but the yield is only three to five Si And that is during a good year If we encounter a bad year, it’s likely that ill only get two to three Sis”

In other words, even if a farmer worked hard for a year, he would only be able to harvest two to four Sis of grain fro all kinds of rain that he could keep for himself would only be one to two Sis In other words, most of the harvest would be handed in as taxes

Lin Yuelan was slightly surprised “So little?”

One Si was 106 catties Planting 100 catties would only yield 300 to 500 catties 100 catties had to be deducted from the seeds, so the final harvest would be 200 to 400 catties That was so little

In modern times, one mu of land could produce at least 1000 catties per Mu

Jiang Zhennan and Guo Bing were surprised to hear this fro Zhennan asked in excite, how many Si should one Mu of land produce?”
