After lunch, Wu Yuanqing went back to his room and took a nap for more than an hour. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info waited until the sun was no longer in the sky, got up, called someone to bring the mule, and packed the Quyuan pear in his yard.

Wu Yuanqing was going to open a field in his yard to grow corn, potatoes and other things.

His yard is, to be honest, not very suitable for growing corn and stuff. First, the land in this yard is more porcelain, after all, flowers and plants were planted before, and secondly, because he lived in Wu Yuanqing, so it is impossible for people to say that they fertilize these flowers and plants too much, otherwise the smell will be unbearable. Without adequate fertilization, this kind of land must have a considerable impact.

Corn is so precious, if it is not good, Wu Yuanqing will cry to death if the grain is not harvested.

But it is precisely because these seeds are so precious that Wu Yuanqing really doesn't feel at ease about planting them elsewhere. He felt that it was safer for him to look at it every day.

So while his yard isn't the best option, it's the safest.

But fortunately, there are flowers and plants planted before, and the land is not completely open, and the people have taken care of it, and there is a small amount of fertilization, so it is not a wasteland.

Wu Yuanqing asked his subordinates to collect the manure of horse dung and cow dung, and at the same time called his younger brother Wu Yuanshuang, and the two brothers brought out a large piece of pear from the yard.

There aren't many seeds, and if you follow the normal spacing, you don't need such a large piece of land at all. However, it is now the early years of the Tang Dynasty, just after the war at the end of the Sui Dynasty, the population of the whole country is not much, according to incomplete statistics, there are almost 2 million households, and each family has five or six people, and there are only 10 million. With such a large area and such a small number of people in the Tang Dynasty, there was no need to worry about planting land. Not to mention Wu Yuanqing, they should be in the Mansion.

Just in the morning, Wu Yuanqing had just won a thousand acres of land.

Wu Yuanqing opened the land wide, and in later generations, their family would plant as many seedlings as possible within the allowable distance, that is because there is little land, and there is no need for this now, not to mention that the corn that is planted now is for making seeds, so it can't be sloppy.

I, so Wu Yuanqing wanted to make the distance between each plant wider, so as to avoid the seedlings from snatching nutrients.

Wu Yuanqing chose deep pears for the opening of the land, so that the soil could be loosened as much as possible. The pears were good, and the manure that the people were looking for was also delivered.

First sprinkle the whole piece of land with an appropriate amount of dust, and then level it with a rake. Then start plowing again.

At this time, Yang and the eldest girl also ran over when they heard the news. I heard that Wu Yuanqing was going to farm, and I was very curious, the eldest girl and the second girl thought it was very fun, and they both wanted to try it, Wu Yuanqing didn't dare to let them do it, but his mother Yang could.

This is a very meaningful thing. When these crops are popularized in the future, they will definitely leave a deep mark in the annals of history. And now they are involved in this will go down in history.

Wu Yuanqing told Yang about the spacing and these precautions. Then Wu Yuanshuang mastered the direction of the mule, Wu Yuanqing mastered the Quyuan pear to control the depth of the plough, and Yang dripped, at intervals of almost one meter, in the back.

In the hometown of Wu Yuanqing in later generations, corn was basically used in the cocoon, but now there are not many seeds, and there is no need for cocoons, and the drops are better controlled by people.

After planting more than 300 corn seeds, half of the land was used. Then the sweet potato seedlings have been raised, and dozens of seedlings are also planted at a distance of about one meter, and this time the planting is much deeper than that of corn. After planting sweet potatoes, then planting peanuts, the seeds are also soaked in advance and planted directly. These three items took up two-thirds of the land, and the remaining one-third was reserved for tomatoes and peppers. As for the pumpkin, Wu Yuanqing planted it directly on the edge of the ground, this kind of thing has a high yield, but the requirements for the land are not too large, it can be planted in the ground, it can also be planted on the edge of the ground, and it can also be planted on the barren slope.

Wu Yuanqing according to the memory of his previous life, directly farmed the edge, this thing likes to grow crazy, and the farming edge is easy to take care of.

Tomatoes and peppers need to be raised, and it is safer to transplant them when the seedlings are successful. Wu Yuanqing asked people to prepare dozens of large vats, two large vats were placed in the house for tomatoes and pepper seedlings, and the remaining rows were placed in the yard for planting potatoes.

Compared with sweet potatoes, Wu Yuanqing values potatoes more, after all, their family didn't grow sweet potatoes much in their previous life, at most they planted a small piece of land and put some when they boiled porridge.

Potatoes are different, and their family eats potatoes as vegetables for half of the year. Eat rice and fried shredded potatoes, and eat noodles either with shredded potatoes, or with shredded potatoes and tofu, or shredded potatoes with slurry water, anyway, potatoes are inseparable all year round.

Potatoes are also easy to grow, you don't need to raise seedlings, you just need to cut the potatoes into pieces according to the sprout eyes, throw them into the pear-opening rows, and then cover them with soil and ridge them into piles.

It's even easier to plant in a tank, just put in the fertilized soil and dig a small pit to bury the potatoes in it.

If it weren't for corn, tomatoes and other things would have grown up in the tank, and it would be troublesome to move them back and forth, and there were too many tanks and they really took up too much space, Wu Yuanqing couldn't wait to plant everything in the water tank.

And there is another advantage of planting potatoes in the tank, that is, the water tank is smashed to find potatoes during the autumn harvest, otherwise in the field, you have to dig deep, not only may you miss it, but you may also dig up the potatoes.

And corn is basically unlikely to have this kind of leakage and digging damage. Of course, sweet potatoes and peanuts may also have this situation, but who made Wu Yuanqing pay more attention to potatoes.

After planting, I packed up my tools and changed my clothes.

At this time, Yang had time to ask Wu Yuanqing: "Yuanqing, why did you remember to plant crops in the yard, and in the morning, you didn't plant them well, but shoveled all the flowers and plants in the yard." ”

Wu Yuanqing smiled mysteriously: "Mother, these are all good things I planted, and you can't even see them."

Yang asked curiously: "What are these things, I really haven't seen the seeds, and I haven't eaten them." ”。

"Haha, mother, you haven't eaten it, it's really strange if you've seen it. Let me tell you, these seeds are not available in our country, let alone in China, even in the surrounding countries, and even in our continent, they are all grown thousands of miles away, on the continent on the other side of the sea" Wu Yuanqing said with a smile.

Wu Yuanqing's words aroused Yang's curiosity, and asked, "Yuanqing, where do you mean by the continent that is 10,000 miles away, Wei Niang only knows that there are Wa Kingdom, Silla, Baekje, Goguryeo, Tubo, Tuyuhun, India, ******, Western Turks, Dashi, Persia and other countries in the distance, you said that thousands of miles away is still on the other side of the sea, Wei Niang really hasn't heard of it, is there really such a place?"

Wu Yuanqing explained: "Mother, the world we live in is very big, you may think that our Datang is the largest country in the world, but in fact, our Datang only occupies a small place in this world. The countries you just mentioned are all on the same continent as us, and these countries only account for more than half of the continent in which we live. And it's about the same as the continent we are in, and there are seven continents in total. We are in the largest area, and one of them, in the southernmost part, is covered in snow and ice all year round. And so much land occupies only a part of our world, and the vast majority of our world is covered by seawater. ”

What Wu Yuanqing said completely subverted Yang's cognition, and it was a fantasy for her.

And this is still the case that Wu Yuanqing didn't tell her that the world he lives in is a ball, if he did, Yang couldn't keep up thinking he was crazy.

Wu Yuanshuang and the three little guys on the side, Da Ya and Erya, were also dumbfounded and amazed.

After a few people recovered from the shock, Wu Yuan Qingcai said with a smile: "And these few things we planted just now are all from the continent located to the east of us. Don't underestimate these things, they're not saying it's just that you haven't seen it. These are very high-yield crops, in their place of origin, these things are grown on the desert plateau, very drought-tolerant crops, and their yield is very high, we are now planting millet, an acre of land is also a stone, this is good, and the corn you just planted, is the beginning of the yellow seed, an acre of land can have an average yield of seven or eight stones, even if it is less can have four or five stones, the potatoes planted in the tank are also called yam eggs, the yield is extremely high, an acre of land can have seven or eight stones, More than a dozen stones can also be reached. Others, like pumpkins, also have very high yields of sweet potatoes. It is also very easy to store after harvesting, and it is not a problem to store it properly for half a year or a year. ”

"Grunt", Yang was so frightened that he almost turned his back on his breath, and the eldest girl hurriedly supported her mother, stretched out her little hand to pat her mother's back to help her mother calm down.

Wu Yuanqing didn't expect Yang's concentration to be so poor, and the output he said was low, and he could even scare it. Because these seeds have not been screened and optimized for more than a thousand years, they must be a lot worse than those seeds in later generations, and the yield is naturally not comparable, but no matter how bad it is, it will not change from a high-yield crop to a low-yield crop, which is confident that Wu Yuanqing is still the same.

Besides, the seeds of later generations, in fact, are only a short period of more than a hundred years, and they have changed a little bit, and there are almost no major changes in the middle of the thousand years.

Therefore, Wu Yuanqing said to the Yang family that the output was as low as possible, and he also gave himself an advance amount. Don't say that the yield is very high, but it doesn't reach it, that's a bit embarrassing.

It took Yang a long time to calm down, but he still couldn't hide his excitement and asked with a little skepticism: "Yuanqing, this is not a joke, are you sure that you can have such a high yield?"

Yang's voice trembled, and he stared at Wu Yuanqing with anticipation.
