Chapter 197 Agriculture-oriented

With the starlight, everyone chatted for most of the night and only went back to rest.

As soon as the sky dawned, the night rushed to Death Valley again.

The time for spring ploughing is coming, and you can't underestimate it.

The improved species of Qingyue is called cloud wheat. After getting the pure wood crystal power, the harvested wheat grains are very magical, more than twice as large as ordinary wheat grains, and the surface is covered with cloud patterns. Perhaps plants will also evolve and develop to a higher level. After grinding some, it was made into pasta. It was found that the viscosity of Yunmai was extremely high and the taste was good.

There has been no suitable candidate for farmland production until the seedlings recommend themselves. Qingmiao was originally a sacrifice of the Shennong tribe. After escaping from the Immortal Mountain, she took the initiative to belong to the command of the night. In these days in Death Valley, the night has never treated her badly.

It's not their intention to sit in the mountains and be idle.

They have no other skills, so they help Qingyue grow and manage herbs and grain fields. It is amazing that the manpower of this tribe has the affinity of plants. Although this ability is like a drop in the ocean compared with the Qingyue, planting ordinary crops can actually improve yield and quality.

After receiving the news, the night was like a treasure.

Before spring ploughing, he found Qingyue and green seedlings to discuss food crops together.

"Qing Miao, your tribe has been farming for generations, can you know the crop yield?" The night pinched a cloud wheat and asked seriously.

Qing Miao hesitated for a moment, because the copycat measurement has been unified, and she needs to convert it. Before long, she came to the conclusion: "The yield of wheat is about 1,000 catties per mu, the corn yield is similar to that, and the yield of millet is slightly lower. Rice is the highest, and the yield should be more than 2,000 catties per mu. The beans are between 300 catties and 400 catties.

"So high?" The night was shocked.

Some common crop yields in my memory are also slightly remembered. Under the cultivation of modern science and technology, it is impossible to achieve this yield. Generally speaking, the rice yield is the highest, and the yield per mu is only between 1,000 catties and 1,500 catties. In the spring and autumn of the earth, because of rough farming, lack of fertilizer and weeds, the yield is only about one-third. Rice can produce 500 catties per mu, even if it is a high yield.

The output of spring wheat is even lower, and under modern agricultural technology, it is only about 600 jin. Winter wheat is better, about 1,000 catties. In the Spring and Autumn Period, the yield of winter wheat per mu will not exceed 350 catties, and spring wheat is generally about 200 catties.

The estimated yield of green seedlings is 4-5 times higher than that of the Spring and Autumn Period of the earth, which is really too scary. However, this is a great thing.

The night analyzed itself. The world is full of all kinds of energy. Maybe the plants have mutated, which is one of them. Second, the ordinary people in the trial field are also much more powerful than the people on earth, and it is possible to work hard. Third, according to the estimation of their own output, the seedlings should be much higher than the average outside.

In this way, the high yield of farmland can be said to be made.

"What about the output of Yunmai? Is there any difference between sowing in spring and sowing in autumn? This is what the night is most concerned about. They settled home too late and have missed the sowing period of winter wheat.

"Yunmai is an improved variety of winter wheat. By promoting the formation of seeds, it is not very picky about the climate and can be sown in spring. The growth period has also been shortened, about 3 months, and will not exceed 4 months at most. Qingyue has the most say. He is a plant expert.

Qingmiao said: "The output of cloud wheat, conservatively estimated, should be more than twice the output of ordinary wheat. If the soil quality here is similar to that of Immortal Mountain, and there is no natural disaster, it should be highly productive.

The night was excited and happy: "One ton per mu, that's great. It seems that the food problem can be basically solved as long as it is cooked. 15 mu per hectare, producing 15 tons of grain per hectare. 100 hectares of cloud wheat is sown.

"Maybe not, it's not enough to grow grain." Qingyue has cultivated two batches of grain these days. There is more than one hectare of grain field, and the expenditure to cover 30 tons of grain is still slightly insufficient. In order to ensure the quality of grain seeds, the planting of grain is relatively sparse, and the yield per mu is much lower.

Therefore, the current grain is only enough to sow 70 hectares.

"70 hectares are also OK. By July, 1,000 tons of grain can be harvested. Now the population under the command of Dark Night is about 2,500. Soldiers eat a lot, and ordinary people eat less than half of it. If it is fully supplied, the monthly consumption of grain will be about 120 tons. However, if horses and animals also feed part of the food, I'm afraid the consumption will be doubled. The night made a rough analysis.

If the harvest of spring wheat meets expectations, it can be opened for 4 months.

However, if, like now, Zhao Yibiao leads the army and horses to scatter outside, and he is responsible for the supply. Slaves and civilians only supply half or less of the sufficient amount, and consume only about 30 tons of food per month. After this batch of grain is harvested, it can be eaten for 3 years.

From this point of view, open source is as important as throttling.

To operate a force, food is the top priority, and you can't be careless at all.

After a rough estimate of the night, the rest of the crops were roughly arranged: "Beans, vegetables and seasonings need to be grown. In addition, it is necessary to open up pastures and plant a large number of pastures. The grain crops are initially set at 150 hectares, 100 hectares are intensively cultivated, and the other 50 hectares can be rougher. If the improved grain is not enough, it will be replaced with ordinary grain. The grass seeds in the pasture are sufficient, so people are sent to look for empty land and sow them everywhere. The more the better. Anyway, it's not a food crop, and I'm not afraid of others coming to grab it.

Qingyue and Qingmiao nodded, and the next step was to arrange the manpower.

There are more than 500 people belonging to Qingmiao, but about a quarter of them are elderly and children. Strong male and female labor, less than three people can be allocated per hectare. Led by these people, the rest of them take action. 10 people per hectare are assigned to cultivate a cow and a number of farm tools, which should be able to complete the work.

As for whether it is in the form of subcontracting or the mode of unified work, it is planned by Wen Zhong. In the details, there is no need to ask about the night, as long as you grasp the outline.

The weather is getting warmer and the temperature continues to rise, and the vigorous production is about to begin.

It was agreed with the Eighteen Villages, and the lords of the five countries were met, and the night began to enclose the land first. In fact, he doesn't need much land, which will not exceed two square kilometers in total. However, the quality of land is quite demanding. Generally, the yield of crops is relatively low in new fields that are burned and reclaimed. Only when the terrain is flat, the drainage is smooth, and the cultivated mature fields can be high in yield.

He found Fan Qingping in the dark night, and he came forward to negotiate with the outside. Open the way with gold coins and elixir in exchange for good land.

"Qingping, this is the top priority. Be sure to promote it. Even if it costs more, it's worth it." The night was nagging and said a big phone call.

Fan Qingping has been in the limelight recently. She changed her previous decline and said angrily, "Don't worry, Qingping will not bear the burden."

The night was still uneasy and told some details: "Farmers can't go back and forth to the mountains every day. Liangtian's 18-mile sharpening knife ridge shall not exceed fifteen-mile. In case of special circumstances, there is still time to deal with it.

Fan Qingping knows nothing about agriculture. He remembers all kinds of key points and dares not be careless.

After sending Fan Qingping away, he found Wen Zhong again in the dark night, because he found that he had missed a very important thing. If you want to operate for a long time, you can't just be satisfied with the search for strong labor. Women, the elderly, and children should pay attention to it.

Wen Zhong was patrolling the temporary camp of the exiles. When he saw the night, he came to him in person and hurried over and said, "Lord, what's your order?"

The night did not answer immediately, and his eyes fell on the woods that had just been dotted with green buds. More than a dozen children, large and small, are chasing in the forest, sprinkling a string of silver bell-like laughter. Several gray-haired old men are sitting on a small stool, with their backs leaning against a big tree to bask in the sun.

Young people have something to raise, old people have something to do with, and widowhood and loneliness are all useful.

The personnel composition of a force is extremely complex. In terms of age, we can't just focus on young and middle-aged people.

"Ting Xuan, once upon a time, we were the same." The night pointed to the woods and aimed at the playful children: "We have enslaved their parents and brothers. At least give them some feedback."

"Master, you are..." Wen Zhong hasn't turned his head for a while.

The night sighed and continued, "I want to set up a school to collect these children and teach them some knowledge and skills. They are related to the future of our power, and they are hope.

"The Lord is righteous, and Ting Xuan admires him." Wen Zhong thought about it for a little and immediately understood the intention of the night. Although this move is brainwashing, it is not a great thing for these children.

In the era of war, not every lord has such good intentions. They don't need people's wisdom. All they need is a strong and hard worker.

"The master's intention is..." Wen Zhong did not make a statement.

The night was slightly meditating, and then looked at the direction of Tomorrow City. This small city must be mixed with fish and dragons in the future. After all, he still doesn't want to open the school to the city. It's better for children to be simple.

"Let's choose a site near here. First, build a simple school, and then move to the Immortal Mountain in the future." Heiye came to a conclusion, but he was still a little troubled: "The principal can be held by Zhuge Wuyong, but I'm afraid it's not easy to find a candidate for teaching."

Wen Zhong roughly filtered everyone's information in his mind and seemed to get something: "I really couldn't find a suitable candidate, but now there is one."

"Oh? Do you really have it?" The night is also doubtful.

"Lord, please come with me!" After saying that, Wen Zhong led the way in front of him. The night was up to him and followed him closely.

It wasn't long before the two of them came to a temporary wooden house. Knocking on the firewood door reveals a father and daughter. Men's clothes are gorgeous, and they don't look like exiles at all. But his face is sad and he seems to have something on his mind. The little girl is only six or seven years old, like a delicate porcelain doll.

The owner of the cabin did not know the night, so he greeted Wen Zhong, "It turned out to be Mr. Wen. Thank you, Mr. Wen, for your high righteousness. You can make Yifan settle down here. Who is this?
