Basic Introduction to Yanjin Red Flowers

Yanjin has a flat terrain, sufficient sunlight, mild climate, moderate soil acidity and alkalinity, and neutral water quality, which is very conducive to the growth of red flowers. According to legend, the Han envoy Zhang Qian obtained seeds from the Western Regions and successfully introduced them. The benefits of planting safflower are three times that of grain crops, and the harvest is abundant. In the old days, the rich had more land and the poor had less land. Red flowers are planted in winter and harvested in summer. Those with limited land have no food to eat during the winter and spring seasons, so they have to borrow from wealthy people at high interest rates. When the red flowers are harvested, the amount they receive is not enough to cover their expenses. Therefore, they prefer to plant grains with low yields to meet their urgent needs and refuse to plant red flowers. Only those with more land are willing to plant red flowers and reap greater profits
