Chapter 083: Planning

???? Mastering his own family background, Lu Peng doesn't care about fatigue. Let Wu Tao summon a group of elders in the cottage, ready to learn from them about the current agricultural affairs, and also announce some matters.

Wu Tao went out, and it took a while to recruit ten crop veterans, that is, the so-called agricultural technicians now, who can be called the old men of the brick family in later generations.

Ten old men came in tremblingly, kowtowing to Lu Peng, the people were afraid of officials, although they didn't know what kind of official Lu Peng was now, but as long as they were high, they must be in awe.

Lu Peng helped the old people up one by one, and after arranging the seats, he also ordered people to come up with tea and soup snacks, which made the old people even more fearful.

Lu Peng comforted him with kind words for a while, and the villagers also found that their lord was kind and kind, and he was amiable, so he slowly relaxed his spirits, so everyone began to enter the topic.

"Fellow villagers, our base needs to be developed, our living standards need to be improved, and our grain output needs to be improved, but we are not suitable for wheat sowing here, and can only produce two crops, millet and buckwheat, and the yield of these two crops is quite low, and they cannot meet our massive food needs in the future, so I would like to ask you, what else can be high-yielding?"

At this time, China is a thoroughly agricultural country, but the planted cereals, none of them are high-yielding, so it is difficult to feed a lot of people, especially these crops have to depend on the sky to eat, northern China, is a climate of nine droughts in ten years, so grain failure has become a norm, now Lu Peng wants to change everyone's planting model, as for the law that high-yield things are not delicious in taste, Lu Peng has not taken care of it, in order to recruit a large number of people to fill their stomachs in the future, they must give up the taste.

When the villagers were asked this question, everyone began to talk to each other, but they could not think of a crop that could produce more than millet.

At this time, an old man who was too old cautiously mentioned: "Little Lao'er thinks of a banker, which is very high-yielding, and if an acre of land is served, it can be hit with thousands of catties, and if the wind and rain are reconciled, the yield will be higher." ”

When Lu Peng heard that there was such a crop in the world, he was overjoyed and hurriedly asked what it was?

The old man said, "This thing is called a yam (not a yam egg)." ”

Lv Peng suddenly realized, this thing is indeed high yield, and the starch is also high, the history of yam planting in China, can be traced back to the Spring and Autumn Period, it is said that a celebrity will promote it, this celebrity is the famous beauty Xi Shi, he found that often eat yam can be beautiful, so there is a celebrity effect.

"If there's such a high-yielding thing, why don't people cultivate it?"

The old man explained the reason: "This thing is high-yielding, but it can't be eaten as a staple food, people will have a bloated stomach if they eat too much, and they can only feed livestock, and the things that feed livestock don't need to be planted with precious land at all. ”

Knowing the reason, Lu Peng doesn't think so, blindly eating yam will indeed bloat, but mixed with other grains, this phenomenon can be avoided, half grain and half yam, you can use one acre of land, instead of ten acres of land. And the extra yield, can be used to feed pigs, so that you can increase the production of meat, more meat, in fact, can also reduce the consumption of food, if a person can eat one or two meat a day, you can replace three or four taels of grain, so that the two-pronged approach, you can make your own valley limited land area, feed more people, as long as there are people, you can have a steady stream of army soldiers, so it is equivalent to having the capital to conquer the world, so Lu Peng decided in his heart, Prepare to promote this high-yielding crop on a large scale in your own territory.

When it comes to increasing grain production, the 10 villagers are full of interest, and when it comes to increasing grain production, they all sigh that now everyone can only reclaim low-lying flat land, and due to the severe drought weather, those land on the high slopes can only be watched, and there is really nothing they can do.

Lu Peng smiled and expressed his thoughts: "Regarding the problem of land development on the slopes, I suggest that we start to build terraces on the slopes and turn the slopes into flat land, which can not only thicken the soil layer and increase the water storage, but also expand the area of our land." ”

For the terraces, even these villagers were ignorant, so they poked their heads out and waited for Lu Peng to explain. So, Lu Peng explained the construction method of the terraces in detail to everyone present, and everyone applauded.

But at this time, another villager came up with the key thing, even if the land is good now, there is no way to do it if there is no rain in the drought.

The solution to this problem, Lu Peng is ready to plagiarize the experience of future generations, and is ready to use those large and small rivers that run at the bottom of the valley to build the windmills of the Netherlands. This windmill is so good that the Netherlands used this method to pump out seawater and open up a large area of national land, according to later statistics, it was in this way that Scotland simply expanded its land area by one-third. How can the pedal waterwheel at this time be compared with the Dutch windmill?

So he said confidently: "You can rest assured at this point, there is an artifact, after it is built, you can water the land day and night without human and animal power, not to mention the mountains." ”

Everyone is no longer surprised by what kind of artifact Lu Peng has, because everyone is used to Lu Pengcheng's endless ideas, plus Lu Peng's background, people are the descendants of immortals, and if they take out some artifacts, isn't it normal anymore? Otherwise, how could the lord be a descendant of the gods?
