In addition to those wheat and potatoes, more importantly, the new crops that make raw materials for compressed dry food also have a large yield per mu, and they do not affect or even help increase the yield of wheat.

Because Lin Sen planted chickpeas that were more nutritious after his transformation. As we all know, most beans have a strong ability to fix nitrogen, which can help fertilize the land, which is very beneficial for other crops.

This year, most of the land in Linjia Zhuangzi chose to grow wheat instead of potatoes with amazing yields, on the one hand, of course, for the sake of these chickpeas, and on the other hand, it is also due to the limitations of these two potatoes themselves.

In a certain sense, potatoes and sweet potatoes have similar characteristics, they are indeed high yields, but according to the conservation of energy, this high yield also means that the soil will be consumed much more.

It won't take long for the fertile land to become barren, after all, there is no efficient chemical fertilizer, and more depends on the nutrients naturally deposited in the land.

In addition, because potatoes are actually vegetatively reproduced, it is inevitable that the yield will be reduced over time.

Another strange peculiarity is that when the land is fertile, it tends to grow only stems and leaves without roots, and the potatoes and sweet potatoes that produce are much smaller than those in the barren land. In fact, this is also an important reason why the yield per mu of potatoes and sweet potatoes in Linjia Zhuangzi is much less than that of later generations.

Since there is no fear of famine in Zhuangzi now, and the two kinds of potatoes are the secret weapons that Li Shimin intends to use as a trump card, simply let the land on Zhuangzi recuperate.

More importantly, it is necessary to complete the order of compressed dry food from the Datang military as soon as possible. In addition to the credit of the new wheat seeds, Linsen's simple circular agriculture was also possible due to the large-scale harvest this year.

In addition, there is also a great advantage that locusts such as those who were arrogant last year cannot form a climate this year, and are often either caught and eaten or sold as soon as they appear.

In this case, it is naturally great good news for those crops, but Lin Sen still wants to harvest locusts on a large scale, and the insects are obviously impossible. It is also necessary to change the main ingredient of compressed dry food.

Chickpeas have the highest protein ratio among beans known for their high plant protein content, with nearly nine grams of protein per 100 grams of chickpeas, which is nearly twice as high as the content of milk, which can be said to be very impressive.

Moreover, it contains all the eight kinds of amino acids that are necessary for the human body and cannot be produced by itself, and the content of other nutrients and trace elements is also very high, so it has the reputation of "the king of beans".

After Lin Sen's transformation, its nutrition is more balanced, and it can be said that eating this thing for three meals a day can basically ensure that there will be no lack of nutrition, and it is naturally the best choice to make compressed and capable products.

Even the taste has been adjusted, it itself has a chestnut-like aroma, and then add some other salty and sweet tastes.

And compared to the original recipe, isn't this thing much easier to process, as long as those water-powered mills are turned on at full power, constantly grinding chickpeas into flour, and then pressing them into cakes.

Of course, it will make it more colorful, and there will be more taste changes, Lin Sen also added some spirulina ingredients to it, the protein content of this thing is even more than sixty percent, and what antioxidants, enhance immunity, and so on.

Anyway, the combination of these two things can basically ensure that this compressed dry food is not only nutritious, but also has more changes in taste than the original, and can even be regarded as a health care drug.

The new variety of compressed dry food, that is, as soon as it was loaded into the carriage, was directly pulled away by the person responsible for purchasing military rations, and the amount of this purchase was clearly increasing, even if Lin Sen's side had successfully accelerated it, it was still a little unable to catch up with the needs of the military.

Fortunately, several other martial artists can still help share some of the pressure, they are all buying locusts early, there is no shortage of manpower, the locusts around Chang'an have been eaten, can you go to other places to buy them, it's a big deal to bring it back after grinding it into powder, so you don't have to take up too much space.

Of course, it is not necessary to make a big deal about this, but it is mainly necessary to consider a balance between cost and profit.

Unlike Lin Sen's side, not to mention the value of the new word "new crops", the cost itself is actually further reduced, and there is no additional investment in the purchase of locusts.

However, Lin Sen also determined one thing, for the Turkic battle, it must start soon, otherwise there would not be such a great demand for materials to prepare for war.

This idea was also quickly confirmed by Cheng Yanjin. Zhang Gongjin, who was also one of Li Shimin's starting team, spoke on behalf of the military, and wrote an impassioned letter, stating that the time had come for the Turks to fall in the Tang Dynasty.

happened to coincide with Li Shimin, who was high-spirited at this time, so Li Shimin simply issued a mobilization order, and it was time for the Tang army to be ashamed!

It will take a certain amount of time for the army to assemble, and the mobilization of all kinds of logistical materials and civilian personnel will also be a long process, and those auxiliary soldiers who want to earn some merits and rewards with the army will gradually gather after receiving the mobilization order, in short, it will take a long time to prepare.

And the reason why he chose to start launching it now is not only to have time for all kinds of spies in the Turkic territory to be launched, but also to sow discord if it is time to spread rumors, and to send back the latest enemy military information if it is time to pass on the news.

It is also in order to really launch this battle in the winter, when the army of the Tang Dynasty is assembled, and the major tribes on the Turkic side are still busy with the cat, the forces are relatively scattered, and the coordination between them is not as agile as the Tang Dynasty, let alone this kind of unity of unity.

More importantly, although the logistical pressure of Datang is not small, people eat compressed dry food, horses chew silage, and Shuofang and other advance bases, and the Turkic side is the time when livestock are the thinnest.

Under the advantages of the other, it can be said that the battle has not yet begun, and the Datang side has already taken the advantage, and there is no shortage of the right time and place and the people, so there is naturally more chance of victory.

But for Lin Sen and his team, it's time to set off, since it is to be the vanguard of the army, and to assume the responsibility of scouting, it is natural to open the way in advance, to find out the enemy's reality for the army, at least to find out where the enemy is, no matter how the army has moved, only to temporarily decide where to fight whom.
