As the saying goes: food, clothing, shelter and transportation, it can be seen that clothes are as important as food, at this time the number of cotton planted in the Ming Dynasty is seriously insufficient, so people's clothing is still very shabby, and the winter is still dominated by sheepskin coats, Feng Youcai is ready to work hard in this aspect, this year began to experiment with planting cotton in his own thousand households, because I am very worried that cotton will come in winter when it is not yet mature, so that a year's hard work will be in vain, for the abnormal climate of the Xiaoice period, it is still inaccurate, That's why Feng Youcai decided to experiment with small batch planting, at least there is no harm in doing so.

In order to speed up the production and maturity of cotton, Feng Youcai still asked to raise seedlings in the nursery, so that when the weather is warm, they can be transplanted directly into the field, the purpose of which is to make the cotton mature before the weather becomes cold. It is also necessary to experiment with some of the cotton planted directly in the field, so that the yield and maturity can also be compared.

Feng Youcai went to the countryside below this time to take a look, changed into ordinary clothes, and didn't bring guards, just wanted to see the real countryside.

The first is to see the farmers in the land, in front of someone is cleaning up the grass and stones in the land, in the middle is the ox ploughing and buying, the back is artificial manure, the ox ploughs back and ridges, and finally the manual finishing, one-stop operation, very good, but Feng Youcai found that the soil and fertilizer used is too little. So he asked the uncle on the side of the road: "Uncle, how can you use such a little fertilizer, then the crops will not grow well." ”

"Later life, there are a lot of these, and some people don't even have these."

"Why, how can there be no farm fertilizer, how can there be a good harvest in the land."

"This is the first year to farm for myself, and I have less fertilizer saved, and I may have more in the future."

If there is no fertilizer, the harvest will definitely be bad, it seems that it is necessary to increase the source of farm fertilizer, and to increase farm fertilizer, you can only rely on breeding.

So Feng Youcai asked: "Uncle, if every family raises pigs, cattle and sheep, then the farmer will have more fat, and he can sell it to make money." ”

"Of course that's good, but I can't afford to buy cubs, I can't even eat, how can I have money to buy cubs."

Feng Youcai knew the answer, so he stopped writing and rushed to the township. This time I came out mainly to see how the nursery of sweet potatoes and cotton is doing, and soon cotton and sweet potatoes will be planted, and this year we must come up with the results of the experiment to prepare for next year's large-scale promotion.

When he came to the township, it was already noon, Feng Youcai had a simple lunch in the small restaurant in the township, and came directly to the township government. Feng Youcai said: "Everyone is an old acquaintance, don't be polite, I came today to see the seedlings of sweet potatoes and cotton, how are you doing now, don't miss the agricultural time." ”

"Lord Qianhuguan, don't worry, this year's work is absolutely good, why don't we go and have a look?" The township chief said busily.

"Okay, I'm here today to see the scene, let's go."

Everyone walked out of the town, and established a nursery 1 mile away from the fort, and when they arrived at the scene, Feng Youcai was shocked, there were a total of 2 nurseries, these 2 nurseries were built really tall, each was more than 3 meters wide, more than 30 meters long, about 1 and a half meters high, the north and west are thick earth walls to keep the wind warm, the south is the earth wall and double wooden windows, it is now noon, the wooden windows have been half opened for ventilation and sunlight, and the top is a thick insulation layer mixed with thatch and soil, It was 108,000 miles away from what I imagined the nursery to look like, and I found out that there was a big pit in the east of the nursery, and the pit was a hearth, and the fire heated the nursery.

Feng Youcai entered the nursery from the east gate of the nursery, there were a total of 2 thick wooden doors, which were designed to reduce the cold air brought in when people entered and exited. There is also a stove every 3 meters or so inside the nursery, probably to warm the nursery.

Now enter the north one, inside is the cultivation of sweet potato seedlings, the whole nursery pond is green sweet potato seedlings, Feng Youcai opened it and looked at it, it is about 7-8 cm high, and it is almost able to be planted, but the color is still simple green, and it is time to plant when it becomes dark green, otherwise it will not be able to adapt to the bad weather outside, and it is easy to die, for these old farmers, this is also common sense.

Feng Youcai found that these seedlings had a common characteristic, that is, fineness, so he asked: "Township chief, these seedlings grow well, but they are too thin, did they not make bottom fertilizer at that time?" “

"Lord Qianhuguan, at that time, the bottom was fattened, but I didn't understand, I was afraid that the seedlings would be burned, so I didn't dare to make too much, and now it seems that the words are used less, and I will have experience next year."

"Yes, this is the first year, and it's already good to be able to get this look, and it's all experience to remember the shortcomings. In addition, you should also remember how much the nursery costs, how many seedlings can be produced by then, and calculate the cost, so that you will save trouble next year. “

"Yes, Senhu Official."

"Next year, this ceiling will also use this kind of sliding windows, and when the weather is warm, you can remove the top layer of thermal insulation soil, leaving only wooden windows, which can be opened during the day and closed at night, so that you can bask in more sunlight and the seedlings can age faster."

"Yes, Senhu Official."

Feng Youcai visited the cotton nursery again, it was all about the same, and after reading it, he communicated with everyone for a while and then went home.

On the way, Feng Youcai thought as he walked, the investment in the nursery of this sweet potato is too large, and it is difficult to plant it in large quantities without plastic film, unless it is planted in a warm climate area in the south. It seems that the promotion of sweet potatoes is not successful, and the cost is too high, so what should I do? When I was thinking about it, I suddenly came to inspiration, since sweet potatoes are not good, then plant potatoes, anyway, they are all potatoes, potatoes don't need to be so seedling, they can save a lot of things, and the growth cycle is short, you can also plant cabbage or radish once after harvesting potatoes, it's really a good idea, Feng Youcai was thundered by his own intelligence. And Feng Youcai remembers that the northwest is very suitable for growing potatoes, but I didn't think about it before, in the previous life of Ningxia, planting potatoes are tens of thousands of pounds per mu, the current fertilizer is insufficient, can not reach tens of thousands of pounds, even a few thousand pounds is also a good thing, for the poor potatoes can be used as both vegetables and rice, it is really a good thing to save lives, especially now is the Xiaoice River period, the species with a short growth cycle must be their first choice. So it was decided, and immediately after returning home, a meeting of the township chiefs was convened to promote potato cultivation.

Come back and Zheng Hao and Zhang Yang introduced the things they want to promote potatoes, the two are half-convinced, just the beginning of the spring to promote the planting of sweet potatoes, and now promote the planting of potatoes, everyone is doubting whether the young master is going to plant what potatoes are going to be planted behind, but the young master has arranged, or to implement it seriously, or the old way, each family should plant at least half an acre of potatoes, mandatory, no need to pay taxes, after next year, everyone is willing to plant what they want to plant, if they don't want to plant, forget it, But in the first year, you must plant half an acre of potatoes, otherwise there will be a penalty.

Anyway, the land is Feng Youcai's, so Feng Youcai will plant it, anyway, this half acre of land does not have to pay taxes, and the seeds are also provided by thousands of households.

Originally, Feng Youcai also wanted to promote the planting of peanuts, so that everyone's diet could increase the amount of fat and improve people's lives and physique, but he felt that everyone was very annoying, forget it, I don't embarrass everyone, let's talk about it next year, maybe this year's potato planting is successful, and it will be much easier to promote peanut planting next year.
