Qian Heng's heart sank when he said this, "What is the specific situation, tell me a little clear!" ”

Qian You nodded again and again, and then said, "Young Master Heng, didn't you arrange for your subordinates to buy sorghum seeds, and you collected 100,000 catties, but when your subordinates checked those seeds, they found some differences, the appearance of the seeds was different, and there were 10,000 catties that were not sorghum seeds, and this subordinate had already verified that they should be common millet seeds in the north!" ”

Qian Heng raised his eyebrows and continued to ask, "And no matter what kind of seed it is, make sure that according to my requirements, all the new grain harvested is last year?" ”

Qian You hurriedly responded, "Please rest assured that Young Master Heng is this, no matter how bold his subordinates are, they will not dare to use the old grain to make up the number!" ”

As soon as Qian You said this, Qian Heng's heart quietly breathed a sigh of relief. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

No matter what kind of seed it is, as long as it is not the old grain that is purchased, Qian Heng is not worried about anything.

As for what kind of seed it is, everything has to be seen before it can be counted.

Thinking of this, Qian Heng ordered, "Go, take me to see what seeds they are!" ”

The warehouse for storing seeds is in the pig farm, which is a specially built storage warehouse, and everything is built according to Qian Heng's arrangement.

The purlin of the warehouse is extremely high, and there is enough space for more than a foot high, and after entering, the originally empty warehouse is already full of seeds.

I also lost a lot of money, and each different seed was put into a different grain trough.

Each grain trough is built with ashlar stones, and after being compacted with lime powder and soil, it is padded with linen cloth to place these grain seeds.

Looking at the piles of grain seeds, Qian Heng had an inexplicable sense of fulfillment, and these seeds were the capital that allowed him to grow rapidly.

The people take food as the sky, and in the entire territory of Shandong, not to mention the severe drought for many years, there are more and more displaced people fleeing from the famine in various prefectures and counties, coupled with the war between Jinliao in the north, there are still many displaced people from the north, and they are gradually pouring into Shouzhang County, where Qian Heng is located.

So when Qian Heng heard Qian You say that there was something wrong with sorghum seeds, he didn't worry too much, if it wasn't sweet sorghum seeds, it could still be grown as ordinary grain.

After Qian Heng carefully looked at these seeds, he knew that what Qian You said was right, and roughly estimated that the real sweet sorghum seeds would be about 50,000 catties at most.

According to the scope of the heavy saline-alkali land in Dengzhou, these 50,000 catties of sweet sorghum seeds are almost enough.

However, the other 40,000 catties of sorghum seeds are not too bad, the slightly crimson seeds are all the most common red sorghum varieties, the sweetness of this sorghum may not be as good as sweet sorghum, but the yield of sorghum is more than twice as high as that of sweet sorghum. Moreover, this red sorghum can be used as food, straw and seeded ears, which have many uses.

According to a rough calculation, so many red sorghum seeds can completely make use of all the wasteland in Shouzhang and even the entire Dongping Prefecture, and the grain produced in autumn can not only solve the food consumption of the locals and those displaced people, but also leave a large amount of sorghum for brewing.

Qian Heng carefully looked at the sorghum seeds, all of them were newly produced seeds, and there was no problem in this regard.

At this time, there is no big difference between the sorghum varieties and the sorghum varieties that Qian Heng knows, the only difference may be that the varieties have not been improved, and they are the most primitive seeds.

In order to ensure the germination rate of sorghum seeds, Qian Heng screened each one and took it out of the warehouse.

"If you have money, prepare a basin of warm water for me, and then prepare a large bathtub!"

The weather in early spring is still a little cold, and it is not the season to plant sorghum, but it is not difficult to test the germination rate.

In the pens dedicated to breeding pigs, windproof treatment has been done, and the breeding pens that are sheltered from the wind and the sun can still be done to ensure the normal germination of sorghum at temperature.

However, Qian Heng tossed so much, but everyone was curious.

After hearing the news that the piglets were stolen, Lu Zimo also hurried over, but was just in time for Qian Heng to do the germination rate test.

Seeing Lu Zimo coming, Qian Heng smiled slightly, it seems that someone has helped him do his work.

"Young Master Heng, you are too troublesome, we have also seen the way of planting sorghum, all of them are scattered into the ground, and the seedlings can emerge without such trouble!"

Qian You watched Qian Heng busy working there, but he didn't know what he should do, and he couldn't intervene at all. I was a little weak in my heart, so I asked cautiously.

Qian Heng glanced at Qian You, "How much is the harvest of sorghum?" Are the seedlings neatly emerging? Before figuring out the germination rate, all experiments must be done step by step! ”

What trial?

What germination rate?

Not only did the money exist, but the guys who came to help sift the soil were also confused.

On the contrary, Lu Zimo asked with interest, "Brother Heng, what is the germination rate you are talking about?" ”

Qian Heng explained with a smile, "This, it's simple, you help you count, see how many seeds there are in this pile, write them down in the notebook, and when I plant them in this wooden barrel and produce seedlings, and then count the number of seedlings that grow, you can figure out what the germination rate is." ”

"I know, Brother Heng wants to see how many of these seeds can sprout, right!"

Lu Zimo nodded thoughtfully, "But what's the use of this?" ”

Qian Heng saw that Lu Zimo was curious, so he put down the work in his hand and asked the guy to help put the soft wet soil into the wooden barrel layer by layer. Qian Heng sat aside, picked up a wooden stick, and drew it on the ground.

"See, if we want to make full use of this kind of seed, we have to plant it according to the shape of this kind of furrow, one furrow at a distance of two feet, which can not only preserve moisture, but also prevent the sorghum from being blown down by the wind after it grows. But if you plant like this, you have to figure out how much this germination rate is, so that you can plant quantitatively! ”

Lu Zimo stared at the ditch structure drawn by Qian Heng on the ground, and suddenly asked, "If you plant like this, how much can you save compared to sowing seeds before?" ”

Hearing Lu Zimo's question, Qian Heng had a bright smile on his face.

Someone finally understands what they're doing it for.

Normal planting of sorghum, if you want to plant seedlings with the right density, you need to use at least forty or fifty catties of seeds to ensure that there is no shortage of seedlings, and this planting method of ditching and sealing ridges, less than twenty catties per acre, can ensure that the seedling density is enough.

In this way, the number of acres that can be used for sorghum seeds can be doubled, and it is conceivable how objective its yield and income are.

When he knew that this kind of planting method of ditching and sealing ridges could use twice as many seeds as ordinary sowing seeds, Lu Zimo also had an incredible expression on his face.

"If you really want to tell Brother Heng like this, how much land do you need to plant?"

Qian Heng smiled, "We don't lack land, what we have to do is to plant more sorghum on the basis of ensuring a bumper yield. ”
