Director Jianguoan and the third master, Zheng Bin, slowly walked along the edge of the sugar cane fields in the new seventh district towards the hillside.

The hillside has already been trimmed, and it can be seen that the new batch of cassava has already been planted.

The cassava varieties brought by the Hantang Group are completely non-toxic, so the yield has not reached the highest yield per mu in the world, which is five tons per mu.

However, the figure of two tons per mu of this variety also scared the Ming farmers a lot, my god, twenty stones! On a hillside, where you can't use it at all, you can produce 20 stone of food!

Director Jianguo'an was glad that he was bringing a completely non-toxic variety, and this Ming farmer was really curious, and he didn't often take a raw one, not because they were greedy, nor because they took advantage of it - they wanted to make sure that this item could be eaten! Make sure it fills people's stomachs!

But they were not disappointed, and the object was good for food, and it was sweet.

After the first batch of cassava matured, the Chichi agriculture department organized manual harvesting, except for the remaining seeds, immediately organized manual slicing and sent to the food factory to dry. Because the amount was too large, they had to dry some of it - the Ming peasants understood at a glance that this object was afraid of rotting.

Director Jianguoan also converted a part of the cassava into wages to the Ming farmers who participated in the help, which was not a discount for the Chiji agricultural department, but a strong demand from the Ming farmers.

Director Jianguoan said: "Don't always eat it raw, this thing is swollen, and you can just deal with it like a potato when you go back - you can keep the seeds if you want!" ”

The starch content of raw cassava is 20 to 30 percent, and the starch content after drying is 80 percent, which is more than that of potatoes and sweet potatoes.

In the plan, the main uses of tapioca starch by Hantang Group are edible, feed and industrial development and utilization.

Eating is the simplest requirement, it contains the same number of calories as rice, and is 116 kcal per 100 grams.

As a raw material for the production of feed, tapioca meal and leaves are a high-energy feed ingredient, and if you add fish bone meal and other ingredients, this is the best organic compound feed.

In the fermentation industry, tapioca starch or dried chips can be used to make alcohol, citric acid, glutamic acid, lysine, cassava protein, glucose, fructose, etc., which have important uses in food, beverage, medicine, textile dyeing, papermaking, etc.

As soon as the tapioca starch was produced, the director of Jianguo An immediately posted the method of black sesame cassava bread balls on the Internet. Many technicians did it immediately, and the process was not difficult at all, and the water, oil and starch were just baked.

Then everyone eats bread balls and drinks goat's milk, which can be used for breakfast.

Everyone's tastes are different, some like sweet, this is normal people, some like sour, some have personality, some like spicy, count yourself ruthless - do it yourself.

The technicians of the Hantang Group, no one likes to hide their secrets, and the Ming people quickly learned.

After the second batch of cassava harvest, with the advent of tapioca starch, there will soon be a Mingren-style way of eating.

Tapioca flour steamed cakes began to be sold, which is what the Ming people are good at steaming; Sour and spicy tapioca flour began to be sold, which is what the Ming people are good at cooking; Seafood fried tapioca flour on the recipe, which is what the Ming people are good at stir-frying.

The Ming people have different attitudes towards the life behavior of the Hantang Group.

The son of Pan Feng of the Pan family business group completely and completely accepted the new food method of the Hantang Group, and the people are still their own captive dairy sheep, and the goat milk is fresh enough.

The third master, Zheng Bin, also tried to let the cook do the same, well, the tapioca bread balls taste good, but never drink goat's milk!

The third master, Zheng Bin, really can't stand the fishy smell that he thinks, but it's still good to drink tea, and this breakfast is good.

Director Jianguo'an and the third master, Zheng Bin, went down the hillside, and it was a cassava "woodland" that was about to start harvesting.

Of course, it can be said that the cassava of this variety is more than two meters tall, and if it is not a certain plant spacing, it is a forest.

As with other cassava fields, soybeans and peanuts are planted interspersed, which not only helps to increase the overall output, but also helps to fertilize the land.

Director Jianguoan looked at this woodland and said, "Lao Zheng, what inspiration did you say this woodland gave you?" ”

The third master, Zheng Bin, said: "God seed, you can find a food for the people of the world!" ”

"No, no, what I want to ask is, what do you think of cassava, peanuts, and soybeans in this forest?"

"This cassava is tall, can provide shelter for peanuts and soybeans, it is already a huge output, and it can benefit others, great, strong!"

"Lao Zheng, in fact, this peanut soybean will make this cassava produce more - this soybean has the effect of nitrogen fixation - forget it, Lao Zheng, you remember, between the three, it is definitely peanut and soybean that contribute more."

The third master, Zheng Bin, looked at the dwarf plants in the forest, and was puzzled, they could actually help the tall cassava?? In the future, I will find a farmer and ask what the reason is.

The two of them continued to walk, and after turning a corner, they could see a scene of a harvest at the bottom of the mountain. There are potato fields and sweet potato fields, and there are mountains of potatoes or sweet potatoes piled up on the edge of the fields.

The laughter of the Akito peasants could be faintly heard.

In the distance, there is the wasteland team.

The horses seized this time were first selected by Director Wang Guotao -- when he looked at them carefully, he immediately became angry.

Not to mention that all the stallions are fucking castrations!

Mongolian horse is one of the oldest horse breeds in the world, mainly produced in the grasslands of Inner Mongolia, and is a typical grassland horse breed.

Mongolian horses are not large, with an average body height of 120~142 cm and a weight of 267.7~372 kg. At first glance, it looks like a big donkey, but its body is stout, its limbs are solid and powerful, its physique is rough and strong, its head is large and its forehead is wide, its chest is deep and long, its legs are short, its joints and tendons are developed, its back hair is thick, and its coat color is complex.

It is hardworking, not afraid of cold, can adapt to extremely extensive feeding management, has strong vitality, and can survive in difficult and harsh conditions. In the south, if you take care of it properly, you can survive very well.

Mongolian horses can walk about 60 kilometers in 8 hours. The well-trained Mongolian horse, which is not frightened or deceived on the battlefield, is extremely brave, and has always been a good military horse.

Director Wang Guotao thoroughly gave the horse an experience and found that most of them had saddle injuries, horse boils, and cracked hooves.

Director Wang Guotao said: "Let's recuperate for a month, so that they can do more work in the future, don't think about the horse farm first, let's start the donkey farm and the mule farm first——"

Director Jianguo An asked strangely: "Don't you want to engage in the crossbreeding of Arabian horses and Mongolian horses?" You've also threatened to combine athletes with migrant workers—"

Director Wang Guotao rolled his eyes and said: "Unfortunately, the two Arabian horses that were easily transported were all mares that I designated at that time - now we don't have excellent Mongolian stallions, why are they so unpleasant?" ”

Director Jianguoan said: "Then don't be afraid of anything, take your time - our dairy farm is not from scratch, and now everyone praises you." ”

"Okay, don't fool me, it's because the Ming people haven't learned to drink milk, if they learn, our dairy farm can really grow."

"That's right, let's focus on our own needs first."

Director Wang Guotao had nothing to say, so he had to go and serve the sick horse carefully.

Why do people in the Ming Continent like to castrate horses? Why is this not the case in Europe at the same time and latitude?

Hantang Group gave several views:

First, there is less land per capita. The land development of the Ming Continent was very early, and the limited arable land had to grow grain to feed the huge population, and the castration of horses was conducive to agricultural production.

In Europe during the same period, even at the same latitude, European civilization was basically half-agricultural and half-pastoral, which theoretically shows that their culture was indeed lower than that of the Ming continent.

The second is that people have an illusion effect. The armies of Europe were led by nobles, so there are many descriptions of cavalry composed of nobles.

The army of the Ming Continent was composed of civilians, so there was no tendency to describe different types of troops. There were also cases in European wars where there were few or no cavalry, for example, Wallace in "Braveheart" rarely used cavalry in history.

As for the Napoleonic Wars, the most glorious cavalry in history, cavalry accounted for less than 10% of the army. So they have fewer cases of castration of horses.

This third point, on the Ming Continent, the general government in power doesn't like the people to have horses, so, you know.

But in any case, it is an indisputable fact that the public war horses brought back are geldings, which completely destroys Director Wang Guotao's dream of combining athletes and migrant workers, but fortunately, there are mares, which can be regarded as a harvest.

After a month of recuperation, all the geldings were sent to work.

The Chichi area has now set off another round of land reclamation.

As you can see from the mountains, the agricultural department is now using all the manpower, horsepower, and machine power, and is singing a very discordant song of labor.

Director Jianguoan said to Zheng Bin, the third master: "The opening of the grain market means that farmers can buy and sell freely, and the price of grain can return to a fair price." When the peasants have money in their hands, they can spend freely and boldly, and various industries will gradually develop -- our Hantang Group will pay more taxes and rent three fields, and then do a good job in public utilities, such as schools, medical care, transportation, etc., so that a region will not be able to prosper without it -- you see, it's as simple as that. ”

The third master, Zheng Bin, thought for a moment and said: "The truth is this, my eldest brother also spent money to buy farmers' grain, and also began to pay wages to workers, but there was no bold consumption as you said-"

"The price of grain given to the peasants by your Zheng family is too low, and the wages paid to the workers are too low -- where do they dare to consume?"

"Compared with the Han and Tang groups, it is indeed lower - but the situation on both sides of the strait is different, the Tartars will not die, and our Zheng family can only concentrate all our forces to resist the Tartars!"

"We understand this reason, what if the Tartars are annihilated?"

"Haha, at that time, my Zheng family will definitely treat migrant workers like the Hantang Group!"

"Not necessarily, I have tasted the sweetness, and I won't give up lightly - you have to have an external force to stop it!"

“――”

"Forget it, you don't understand Lao Zheng if you talk too much, you will understand it in the future."
