Chapter 436: Potato Harvest
Fifty catties of potatoes were planted, and Liu Xuan stayed in Garo Bay. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The government and military affairs that had to be handled by Liu Xuan were also sent here. For some time to come, Garo Bay will be another office for Liu Xuan.
Because of this situation, spies from all walks of life gathered here to find out the news of Garo Bay.
However, Garo Bay was surrounded by soldiers, and ordinary people could not enter at all.
Even if someone has excellent means and quietly crossed the line of defense guarded by the soldiers, there are still soldiers of the guard battalion under the command of Shi Ah around, these soldiers are good at hiding and even better at assassination, they are all trained by Shi A, but all those who infiltrate are taken down.
In March, corn can be planted.
Liu Xuan called all the farmers stationed in Garo Bay and demonstrated the cultivation of corn.
Then, distribute all the corn seeds.
There are eighty catties of corn seeds in Liu Xuan's hand, and if eighty catties of corn seeds are planted, if a bumper harvest is achieved, at least tens of thousands of catties of corn can be harvested, or even more and more. As long as there is a good harvest this year, there will be no shortage of corn seeds after that.
Dozens of acres of land are set aside as corn fields.
At this time, the potatoes began to sprout.
Fifty catties of potatoes are planted, all of them are green, and the growth is gratifying.
Liu Xuan took Jia Xu and Guo Jia around the field, with a smile on his face, he pointed to the potato seedlings on the ground, and said: "This batch of potatoes is the seeds of the coming year, and this year's output should not be too much, but next year, it can be planted on a large scale." ”
Guo Jia looked at the cultivation of potatoes and knew the shape of potatoes. He squatted down, looked at the green patch, and asked, "Your Highness, how do you eat potatoes?" ”
Liu Xuandao: "There are too many ways to eat potatoes, you can eat them when they are cooked, you can also cook them with meat, and there are many ways to do it. Most importantly, eating potatoes is the most important point to resist hunger. ”
Guo Jia nodded and asked again, "What is the yield of potatoes?" ”
Liu Xuan said: "Unknown for the time being! ”
As for the yield of potatoes, Liu Xuan could not estimate.
After all, it's a prize drawn from the system. According to the system, it must be a high-quality urine, and the yield of potatoes should be very high. But to what extent, Liu Xuan can't be sure.
After walking around, a group of people came to the cornfield.
The planted corn seeds have sprouted and are as tall as a toe.
The green leaves are extremely dazzling.
Jia Xu doesn't know what corn is? He looked at the seedlings that had already sprouted and asked, "Your Highness, potatoes are planted in the ground, and the fruits will be harvested in the soil when the time comes." How will this corn be harvested? Corn produces grains of corn. How can such a grain of corn be harvested? ”
Corn has never appeared in this world at all.
The bags of corn that Liu Xuan took out were all threshing, and there was no corn cob.
Jia Xu's question made Liu Xuan laugh.
Liu Xuan smiled slightly and said, "Wenhe, corn does not grow one by one, but grows on the cob of corn. He roughly described the shape of the corn, Jia Xu had no idea, and he could hear it in a fog.
Jia Xu shook his head and said, "I don't understand!" ”
Rao is Jia Xu is well-informed, and he is also very shocked at this time.
The food that Liu Xuan took out was unprecedented, and he had never seen it, Liu Xuan knew it, but Jia Xu didn't know it.
Could it really be a godsend?
In Jia Xu's heart, he could only think of such a statement, and only in this way could it make sense.
In March, the rain was more abundant, the wind was smooth, and the potatoes and corn were thriving. Entering April, the potatoes are growing better and have grown in patches.
During this month, the potatoes enter the ripening stage.
However, the potato vine leaves are still green and not fully ripe.
When paying attention to the growth of potatoes, Liu Xuan asked people to replenish corn seedlings. Because in some places, corn seeds are lost, but they do not germinate, resulting in a shortage of seedlings, which must be filled.
In addition, Liu Xuan also asked farmers to carry manure for irrigation.
In general, everything is in Liu Xuan's hands.
Liu Xuan knew something, so he didn't rush around. During this period, the soldiers stationed there, as well as the farmers who cultivated the seedlings, watched the seedlings change little by little.
In May, Liu Xuan cut the sweet potatoes he had drawn into pieces and planted them in the picture to raise seedlings.
Compared to potatoes and corn seeds, sweet potatoes are the easiest to produce on a large scale. Even if there is only a small amount of sweet potato, as long as it is planted in the soil, a large number of vines can be cultivated and transplanted.
Liu Xuan counted May, as well as the lottery in the previous months, and the cumulative sweet potatoes were about 100 catties.
After cutting 100 catties of sweet potatoes into pieces, a large piece of land was taken to raise seedlings.
By the end of May, the sweet potato seedlings have been sent out, forming large vine seedlings. Liu Xuan, Guo Jia and Jia Xu came to this area of sweet potato seedlings every day.
Guo Jia smiled and said, "Second brother, sweet potatoes and potatoes are almost the same, and the planting method is similar, so I should be waiting for the sweet potato seedlings to grow up and grow fruits in the ground." ”
Liu Xuan shook his head and said, "Brother, you are wrong! ”
"Ahh
Guo Jia said: "Isn't it right? ”
Liu Xuan squatted down, pinched a section of sweet potato seedlings, and said: "The planting of sweet potatoes is transplanting, and when the seedlings become a wide range of vines, after they grow strong on a large scale, they will be pinched off one by one, and then planted in the soil." Potatoes can't be transplanted, potatoes can't be transplanted, so potatoes can't be massively expanded. But sweet potatoes can, and this year, we will definitely be able to harvest countless sweet potatoes. ”
After Guo Jia heard this, he looked at this seedling and said, "After this seedling is planted, how much can I harvest?" ”
Liu Xuan pondered for a moment and said, "Roughly estimated, at least tens of thousands of stone sweet potatoes can be harvested." How much can be depends on the final result. ”
"Shhh
Guo Jia gasped and said, "Second brother, are you sure?" ”
Tens of thousands of stones, that is, hundreds of thousands of catties.
Such a change in the difference is really terrifying.
Jia Xu had an extremely shocked expression on his face, and said, "Your Highness, is it really? "There are only more than 100 catties of sweet potato seeds in front of me, and if you can exchange for tens of thousands of stones of sweet potatoes, it will cause a huge shock.
This has a huge impact on the whole Qingzhou.
Liu Xuan smiled and said, "My estimate is only based on the best harvest. ”
Guo Jia said solemnly: "Your Highness, I'll wait and see." ”
"Report!"
Suddenly, a soldier came running quickly.
The soldier came to Liu Xuan and said loudly: "Your Highness, the farmer in charge of potatoes said that the vine leaves of many potatoes have withered and yellowed on a large scale, can you start harvesting?" ”
Liu Xuan laughed and said, "Well, you can indeed harvest it." ”
Guo Jia said excitedly: "Let's go, go and see!" ”
Immediately, Guo Jia, Jia Xu and others followed Liu Xuan and went straight to the area where the potatoes were located. When I came to the potato area, I looked at it, and the large potato leaves had already turned yellow.
Liu Xuan beckoned a farmer to come to him, he squatted down and said, "See clearly, the underside of the potato vine leaves is the fruit, you can't dig it up, you must be careful." ”
Liu Xuan took the hoe, went down with a hoe, and dug out the potatoes below.
