The progress of land reclamation was much faster than Ling Xue had expected. Ling Xue was even a little impressed by the efficiency of these refugees.
Fortunately, Ling Xue’s cornucopia was powerful, otherwise she might not be able to supply enough sweet potato seedlings.
Ling Xue's operation was also very simple. She cleared a piece of land in the garden, planted cut sweet potatoes, and then used the wood-based ability to induce growth.
When the sweet potato vines grow long enough, cut them into sections that can be used for cuttings, then tie them into bundles and set them aside.
After all the sweet potato seedlings have been cut, continue to stimulate growth and cut them into sections, repeating the process over and over again until enough sweet potato seedling cuttings are collected to plant one thousand acres of land.
At night, Ling Xue placed three bundles of sweet potato seedlings on the three replica positions of the treasure pot, and by the next morning, there would be another 300 bundles of sweet potato seedlings ready for cuttings.
This way, it is much faster than Ling Xue using the wood-type ability to induce birth.
However, Ling Xue was not sure whether the sweet potato vines cloned in this way would have any impact on the yield, so she would rather spend more time using the wood-type ability to promote growth than dare to use the cornucopia to clone them.
Once the results of this batch of experiments come out, she will know what to do by next year.
"Little Peach, Little Peach, come here!"
Ling Xue called Xiao Taozi over. She planned to let Xiao Taozi be responsible for the transplanting of sweet potato seedlings.
After all, Xiao Taozi is an experienced person. If she gives Xiao Taozi some guidance in advance, there will be no problem.
"I'm here!" Xiao Taozi was making tea for Ling Xue. When she heard Ling Xue calling her, she immediately ran over.
"Sir, what do you want?"
Ling Xue smiled and assigned a task to Xiao Taozi: "I plan to put you in charge of the sweet potato planting. What do you think? Do you have confidence?"
Xiao Taozi almost jumped up with excitement: "No problem, I promise to complete the task!"
Then, I don’t know what she thought of, but Xiao Taozi became a little depressed.
When Ling Xue saw this, she immediately asked, "What's wrong? Is there any problem?"
Little Peach shook her head and explained, "It's all right for me to oversee the sweet potato planting, but who will be serving you, Master? I'm worried about the maids in the capital; none of them are honest!"
Ling Xue laughed heartily when she heard this. She comforted Xiao Taozi, "I don't need anyone to take care of me. Don't worry, you can come back and take care of me after the sweet potatoes are planted."
Xiao Taozi became happy when she heard that Ling Xue would not have anyone else around her and would be allowed to come back after she was done with her work.
The young master still values her. He would rather not be served by others than wait for her. What a good master!
There are many wealthy families in Yunyang City who do not plan to stay. They are not optimistic about Young Master Shen and are afraid that they will be implicated if they stay.
However, they were also afraid of offending Young Master Shen, so they came up with a way to please the Shen family.
They planned to give all the land under their names to Ling Xue before leaving, so that even if Young Master Shen became successful in the future, he would not be too harsh on them.
This idea was also influenced by Ling Xue's latest land reclamation policy. Don't you, Young Master Shen, want to farm? We just happen to have some excellent land, so let's give it to you to farm!
They were leaving anyway, and these lands would have fallen into Young Master Shen's hands even if they hadn't given them to him. It would have been better for them to be generous and give them to him directly, which would have made them appear generous.
Just like that, within three days, Ling Xue had an additional 50,000 to 60,000 acres of high-quality farmland in her hands.
