Seeing the natural expressions on everyone's faces, Lu Yuan pinched a handful of seeds and choked speechlessly.

In the palm of my hand is the grain seed, and the scientific name is corn.

These corn seeds look shriveled just like the bodies of the people of Trojan County when Zhang Zaixian and others first arrived, and many of them are moth-eaten, and many of their buds have been bored.

As the saying goes, if you plant melons, you will get melons, and if you plant beans, you will get beans, and the sons born to mice will have big holes, which is enough to show the importance of genetic inheritance.

Like these corns in the palm of the hand, one by one shriveled as if they were not full, if they are planted, even if they can germinate, Lu Yuan believes that the corn after maturity is probably as shriveled as these seeds!

Farming, in addition to paying enough sweat and hard work, and the beauty of God, the more important thing is that the seeds are good enough!

In fact, grain varieties are preferred, and good seeds are more likely to provide good harvests, this method has been discovered many, many years ago, and even in the Tang and Song dynasties, there was a special official position for selecting seeds, which was specially responsible for selecting seeds with full grains in mature fields for storage and waiting for the next year before distributing them to farmers.

It's just that in this era, in a poor and remote place like Muma County, and even in most parts of the country, the little grain harvested by the common people is not enough to cover their stomachs, so they can only leave a little bit as much as possible to make seeds, and they can't take care of the rest at all.

"These seeds can't be used as grain seeds, so eat them all!"

Lu Yuan sighed lightly and put the grain back in the bag, and instructed Su Yan: "Immediately send someone to Anyuan to find Master Lin, and ask him to help buy a batch of new grain seeds, which must be full enough, we will buy them at a price twice higher than the market price, and when the seeds come back, let people choose the best of the best, and try to ensure that every seed planted in the ground is the best!" ”

"Commander, I don't know how to march and fight, but I've been planting for more than fifty years!"

Zhang Zaixian gave a slap, and his old face was full of sacrosanct authority, and he said confidently: "We have been planting like this for more than 50 years, as long as the wind and rain are smooth, according to my method, we will definitely be able to harvest a bumper harvest!" ”

"That's how we grow in our hometown!"

Yang Zongman, Xu Yun, and even Niu Pimple were muttering, usually Lu Yuan's words are authority, and they say one thing or another, but in this kind of field, they all feel that they are authority, and Lu Yuan has to stand aside.

"Such a seed, planted in the ground, can't even sprout!"

Lu Yuan angrily pinched out a corn kernel that had been eaten off by insects, but was intact elsewhere, and snorted, the sprout mouth is the most nutritious place, and it often becomes the first target of moths.

"Even if you can't germinate, it doesn't matter, when the time comes, you can replant it, and you don't need to spend money to buy seeds!"

Zhang Zaixian and the others spoke in unison, with a look of course, obviously they had been familiar with doing this before.

"Shut up!"

Lu Yuan said coldly, for him, the most accustomed way is to directly adopt a high-pressure policy when he is unreasonable with others: "Don't talk nonsense, I said that I can't use these seeds, I can't use these seeds to do what I say!" ”

Although the replanted seeds can also make up for a certain loss, the replanted seeds will also affect the grain yield because they miss the season, and he doesn't want to talk to these guys who think they are old farmers now, unless he puts the facts in front of these guys, it is impossible to convince them.

A group of people were quite stupid, Yang Zongman hesitated for a long time, and finally waved his hand to let the hesitant Su Yan go and do what Lu Yuan said, and turned around and said, "Leader, have you ever farmed?" ”

Lu Yuanqi's nose was crooked, and his eyes glared angrily: "I haven't killed pigs either, but I've eaten pork!" ”

A few decades later, the high yield of improved varieties is no longer a truth that no one needs to say, and the development of agriculture in that era is far from being comparable to the situation of relying on the sky for food in this era.

Although Lu Yuan has never farmed seriously, he is the son of a farmer who has seen a lot, and he understands this concept of planting land without saying.

"You are the head of the regiment, you have the final say!"

Xu Yun and the others said sourly, the things in the group have always been discussed and decided by everyone, and this time Lu Yuanda made a big talk, which made everyone feel unhappy.

"If you're not convinced, how about I make a bet with you!" Lu Yuan said with a wicked smile.

As soon as everyone saw him like this, Qi Qi couldn't help but take a step back, looking at him vigilantly, everyone knew that often when this kind of evil smile appeared on the face of the head of the regiment, it was before the little devil died when someone was unlucky, and Lu Yuan's face often had such a look.

"Don't dare? Don't you all say that you've been planting for decades without making a mistake? "Lu Yuan directly used the agitation method.

"What don't you dare!"

Niu Pimple puffed his chest and said proudly: "Brother Yuan, it's not that I'm arrogant, speaking of this kind of land, you are really not as good as me, I went to the ground with my father when I was six years old!" ”

I'm still young after all!

Lu Yuan smiled, looked at Yang Zongman, who was vigilant and did not express his position, Zhang Zaixian, Xu Yun and others, and said in his heart These old foxes, this is the rhythm of pit pimples, but he will never say anything, he looked at the pimples with a smile and said: "Then you say, these new lands opened in our county, planted with these seeds, how many catties per mu are produced!" ”

"Look at the New Year!"

Niu Pimple hesitated for a moment and said: "If the wind and rain are smooth, two hundred and fifty catties per acre of grain and two hundred catties of wheat per acre of land are about the same, this is raw land, if it is cooked land, it is no problem to have more than eighty catties per acre!" ”

"If you don't have a pimple, it's a good crop!"

"This baby can"

Hearing the estimation of the cow pimple, Yang Zongman, Zhang Zaixian and the others nodded one after another, saying that the estimate of the cow pimple was similar to their estimate.

I have to say that the grain yield in this era is too low, and after the emergence of those improved varieties a few decades later, the yield of wheat per mu is 800 catties, and the yield of grain per mu is 1,000 catties, which is not a thing, but in this era, it is simply an unattainable dream.

"You all think the pimple is right, right?"

Lu Yuan will not compare the grain output of later generations, because those seeds are not just picked, seeing the confident look of everyone, he smiled and said: "We take two acres of land, one acre with seeds like yours, one acre with seeds we have selected, if the yield per mu of selected seeds does not exceed fifty catties of yours, you strip naked and run around the county, if you can't surpass, I strip naked and run around, do you dare to come!" ”

"Deserter, you said it yourself!"

The lone wolf immediately jumped out and screamed with a strange scream, it is estimated that this guy has not been a day or two since he wanted to see Lu Yuan's ugliness.

Xu Yunluo had a rich cow bump and even Sun Liang was excited, as if he had seen Lu Yuan running laps in the county with his bare ass.

"I'm what I said, so I'll ask you if you dare!" The road is far away.

"Dare, what don't you dare!"

"That's it, we're all grass soldiers anyway, but it's a deserter for you, hehehehe"

The big dog bear king hemp pole and a group of people grinned and jumped with yellow teeth to gamble, and they were already thinking that if Lu Yuan lost, they would call the villagers in the county when the time came, and they all set up small benches and held small wines to watch the excitement, not to mention how beautiful it was.
