Chapter 717 If the crops are sick, it will affect the harvest

   "I don't know why Mr. Qiao asked us to come here?"

   Qiao Yi has long since left her mind, and now Qiao Xin is in charge of the entire Qiao City, and now Qiao Yi is looking for them suddenly, which makes a few people very puzzled.

   So this had just entered the room and sat down when one of the oldest women spoke.

   "I'm looking for you to come here today. I want to ask you a few things. Please tell me the truth."

   "Master Qiao is serious, just ask."

   It was still the oldest one who spoke.

   "This crop will be harvested in a few days. How is the crop now? How is the harvest compared to previous years?"

"this…"

   Seeing Qiao Yi ask this, several people felt a little nervous.

  When they came, they thought about what Joey would ask, but they never expected that Joey would ask this. For a while, the old man didn't know how to speak.

   After all, Qiao Yi paid for half of the seeds this year. If you know that this year’s harvest will be worse than every year, I wonder if you will be angry. In this way, next year’s seeds...

  Thinking of this, the old man hesitated.

  Joy smiled when he saw this.

"Don't worry, the quality of the harvest cannot be controlled by people. I know that you are all planting the crops with your heart. I am not looking for you today for this matter. You just need to tell the truth. I will still pay for the money to buy seeds next year." Half, and I have discussed with Qiao Xin that this year's tax will be reduced by 10%."

   Hearing what Qiao Yi said, several people looked at each other, then got up, and then they all knelt down to Qiao Yi. This 10% tax may sound like a small amount, but it can support a family.

   "Thank you, Master Qiao, thank you for our blind date on behalf of the young and old."

   "Yeah. Get up, let's get down to business."

  If this salute is not accepted, this group of people will feel uneasy, so Qiao Yi did not refuse them to salute him.

   "Thank you, Master Qiao."

   Several people got up and sat down again, this time telling the truth.

   "The crops started to get sick half a month ago. We have tried our best to rescue them, but the effect is not very good. After the harvest, the grain income may be much less than in previous years."

  Speaking of this, the elderly are also very helpless. This food is their root, and they are more anxious than anyone else when something goes wrong.

   "Why didn't anyone tell me about this?"

  Qiao Yi frowned. If I guessed correctly, the food is probably caused by the weather. If it can be saved, it should still be saved.

   "You have a lot of work to do every day, how can we trouble you for such a trivial matter. Besides, this kind of crops, even if I tell you, you can't help."

   "Confused, who said I can't farm?"

  After Joey said this, several people shuddered.

   "Okay, okay, now is not the time to talk about this. Since the incident has already happened, it is still important to think about countermeasures. If the disease of the crops is controlled now, can the harvest be guaranteed?"

  Qiaoyi sighed, she was also to blame for this matter, her whole mind was on Baili Mingxi, and she paid less attention to the outside world recently.

   "Now the disease is getting worse and worse. This period is the most important period for grain harvesting. If it is not controlled, 50% of the income may not be kept at that time. If it is controlled, at most 20% of the grain will be lost."

  Joe Yi's words made the old man feel confident, so he naturally dared to say it.

   "Okay, let's go to the field to have a look, maybe I can find a way, let's settle this matter first."

   After finishing speaking, Qiao Yi looked at Su Ziye.

   "You go and prepare two carriages, we will set off right away."

"Yes."

   After a while, a group of people arrived in the field. Qiaoyi looked at the field, then walked in the middle of the field, and then walked several fields.

   "Is this the case in almost every house?"

   "Yes, this is considered light, seriously, there are not many green leaves."

   "I know about this, I'll think of a way. Cotyledons will send them back."

   After explaining, Qiao Yi got into the carriage first, and then went straight to the City Lord's Mansion.

  Since getting married, and Qiaocheng has a lot of things to do, it is convenient to handle things in the City Lord's Mansion, so Qiao Xin moved into the City Lord's Mansion with Star Eyes.

   "Sister, why didn't you accompany my brothers today?"

  Xing Mou was watering the flowers in the yard. Seeing Qiao Yi coming, he immediately put down the water bottle in his hand and greeted him.

   "There is something wrong, where is Qiao Xin?"

   "She's inside. The wife-lord is in a bad mood recently. I asked her why and she didn't say anything."

   "Well, I'll ask later, then I'll go in first."

"Um."

  …

   "This is what you gave me? Will there be a harvest of grain this year after going on like this? What do the people eat? What do I need you for?"

   As soon as Qiao Yi walked to the door of the study, she heard Qiao Xin's roar.

  Qiao Yi was quite surprised. It turns out that she is also angry sometimes.

   "Miss."

   Seeing Qiao Yi coming, Xiaocao immediately yelled. Then he opened the door to Joey's study.

   Hearing voices outside, Qiao Xin sat down.

   "What's wrong? Did I come at the wrong time?"

   "Master Joe."

   "Don't worry about me, you go ahead, I just have something to do with Lord Qiao, you come first, I'm not in a hurry."

  Joy waved his hand, then sat down on one side.

   "Go down."

  As soon as Qiao Xin opened his mouth, everyone quickly left the study, as if being kicked out.

   "Sister, why are you free to come to me today?"

Recently, Qiao Yi has been walking around with her husband, strolling everywhere, and this matter has spread throughout the overseas Chinese city. Men envy Qiao Yi for being a good wife, while women are angry that Qiao Yifu is so strict that he does not do business and accompany him every day. Husband, there are mixed reviews anyway.

   "I found that the crops were sick, so I came here to ask."

  From the few words he heard just now, Qiao Yi knew that Qiao Xin knew about it, so he just said it straight.

   "Hey, I'm worried about this. I knew it from the beginning, and I started to prevent it. The effect is there, and it's getting better. But the recent weather has caused the disease to come and go."

Qiao Xin hadn't slept well for several days because of this incident. She went to ask her father-in-law Xing Yuan, but Xing Yuan didn't have any good solutions. If the weather is good and the weather is fine for a few days, then it will be fine. Yes, but the key is the bad weather.

"Have you tried plant ash? Sprinkling plant ash on the roots should be able to inhibit the spread of the disease. Or use white ash and water and sprinkle it on the leaves. A small amount can also sterilize the bacteria. As long as it is boiled for more than a month, when the grain is harvested, it will be gone. It'll be fine."

   This method Qiaoyi had already thought of it when she saw what the crops looked like, but she hadn't tried it, so she didn't say it.

   "You can try it."

  Hearing what Qiao Yi said, Qiao Xin immediately understood. Plant ash does have a bactericidal effect. And white ash is also a good thing for sterilization.

   "I'll go back later and ask your brother-in-law Yuexi to develop a fungicide. I seem to remember a formula for a fungicide."

  Joy thought about it, and there was indeed an impression in his mind.

   It's strange to say that, except for people and things, she has a very clear memory of other things.

   "It's very good, otherwise our secret grain collection for the past six months would have been in vain."

   Qiao Xin was very happy to hear what Qiao Yi said. If the crops are saved, more grain will be harvested, so they don't have to put grain outside.
