Chapter 104 Agricultural Machinery Commencement
The place where Dinglu City is located is by the sea, which is not suitable for growing rice. Mo Yu could only reluctantly go down the city wall, wanting to leave Dinglu City and go to a farther place to see where it was suitable to open up wasteland.
"Lord, where are you going?"
The gate of Dinglu City was guarded, and the person guarding the gate saw that Mo Yu was leaving Dinglu City, so he asked Mo Yu where he was going.
"Oh, I'm not going anywhere, I'm just going outside! By the way, are you alone guarding this gate? ”
Mo Yu heard the question of the gatekeeper, so he answered, and in the process of answering, Mo Yu saw that he was the only one at the city gate, so he asked him.
"No, lord, we are two people on duty in shifts, and one person has gone to the thatched house, by the way, lord, you go out for a walk, why don't you take people? Why don't you wait, I'll go to the station and call a few people for you? ”
Seeing Mo Yu go out alone, the guard felt that this was not good, so he wanted to help Mo Yu and call a few people to accompany Mo Yu out for a walk.
"No need, I'll just walk around the neighborhood, don't be so troublesome!"
Mo Yu stopped the guards from helping to call Rao the action, he thought that he was walking around the neighborhood, what were he taking people to do!
"All right, my lord, your heart! Shout out loud when something happens! ”
Since Mo Yu didn't need to call someone, the guard could only give up calling someone, and after telling Mo Yu to be careful, he let Mo Yu leave Nailland City.
Leaving Dinglu City, Mo Yu went upstream along the river to see if there was a suitable place to grow rice upstream.
Walking 1,000 meters upstream, Mo Yu saw a rice field that had been abandoned, this abandoned rice field was about 800 acres, such a large rice field, Mo Yu decided to make use of the rice field here. However, before using it, Mo Yu had to carefully check the situation of the rice fields here.
After walking around, Mo Yu had a general understanding of the situation in the rice fields here. In general, this paddy field is okay, but there are too many fields, which may be the reason why this paddy field was subleased out before.
With so many fields, Mo Yu felt that if he wanted to use this rice field, he had to rectify the fields here, remove all the fields, and organize them into rectangular 5 acres of fields.
This rice field rectification project cannot be done by soldiers, of course Mo Yu is directly looking for the system, anyway, he has money, and he can do whatever he wants here in the system.
After receiving Mo Yu's instructions, the system calculated the cost of rectifying this rice field, which required a total of more than 32.41 million gold coins. Just these gold coins are completely money for Mo Yulai, and he directly let the system deduct them and start rectification.
After deducting Mo Yu's gold coins, the system began to rectify, and the entire rectification time took 16 hours, so it was impossible for Mo Yu to stay here for such a long time, but hummed a song and walked back to Nailland City.
……
16 hours passed, and on the third morning, after Mo Yu got up, he went to Zheng Xin and asked Zheng Xin to take a few people and go to the field with him.
A few people left Nailland City and soon arrived at the field.
"Lord, is this the field yours? It's neat! ”
Coming to this rectified rice field, Zheng Xin and several of his subordinates were shocked. The field was very well organized, with five roads running through the paddy fields, dividing the paddy fields into three major sections, each of which was rectangular, and the rectangle was divided into several rectangles. Zheng Xin and the others have never seen such a rice field, so they are naturally shocked!
"Well, this is the granary after we nail Lu City! Zheng Xin gave you a task to plant rice seedlings in this rice field, na, this is seeds, a total of 800 kilograms, these should be enough to plant the rice fields here. Okay, you go and arrange someone to raise the seedlings first. ”
The rice seeds were bought by Mo Yu yesterday and put them in the space backpack, and he took them out today, just to let Zheng Xin arrange for people to raise the seedlings as soon as possible and cultivate the rice seedlings before the second season of seedlings.
"Yes, my lord, I'll arrange it!"
In such a large rice field, it takes a few seeds to raise seedlings, so after Zheng Xin received Mo Yu's order, he had to immediately transfer people to raise seedlings.
When raising seedlings, it is natural to turn the ground, but Zheng Xin found a problem, they don't have the tools to turn the ground, not even cattle, how to do things. So Zheng Xin found Mo Yu and explained the situation to Mo Yu.
"It's my negligence, so come with me, let's go to the field, and I'll bring you the tools."
Mo Yu forgot about the tools, so he asked Zheng Xin to go to the rice field with him, and he wanted to buy tools for Zheng Xin directly in the mall.
Mo Yu walked in the mall to see what tools he needed to buy for Zheng Xin. There is everything in the mall, oxen, plows, hoes, shovels, and even agricultural tools such as agricultural machines are all struggling with whether to use primitive methods for farming or directly carry out mechanized production.
After thinking for a while, Mo Yu decided to go directly to mechanization, after all, the current world, the efficiency he needs, the outside world is too dangerous, and the speed of mechanized planting is fast, so it does not take up the time of the soldiers.
If you want to mechanize, you have to buy seeders, floor ploughers, transport trucks, etc. With so many machines, it naturally cost a lot, and a total of more than 300 million gold coins were spent on Mo Yu.
Although it cost so much, Mo Yu felt that everything was worth it. If you can grow rice, then in the future, Dinglu City can be self-sufficient, you can save a lot of gold coins, and it is even possible that the grain produced by Dinglu City can also be supplied to Mohai City, so you can save a lot of gold coins.
After choosing mechanized planting, Mo Yu released the few agricultural machines he bought. The moment it was released, Zheng Xin and several followers were shocked.
"Lord, lord, what is this, this thing, so big?"
The first time he saw agricultural machinery, Zheng Xin was really shocked, and he stammered when he saw such a large steel object for the first time in his life.
"This! This is a floor plougher, and that is a rice transplanter, that is a harvester, and that is a transport vehicle, so much, I guess you don't know what I am, so be it! Wait a minute, I'm going to send this information to your brains. ”
After reading the names of these agricultural machinery, Mo Yu knew that these people didn't know what he was, so he didn't bother to explain, and directly asked the system to instill relevant information about agricultural machinery to Zheng Xin and them.
"Oh, I see, I know, my lord, I'm going to drive the floor ploughing."
After receiving the relevant information about agricultural machinery, Zheng Xin and several of his subordinates will open these agricultural machinery, so after Zheng Xin and Mo Yu said a word, they went to turn the floor ploughing machine and began to turn the ground to prepare for seedlings.
A floor plougher turned over the ground, Mo Yu felt that it was not very slow to have only one, so he bought another one and asked Zheng Xin's followers to drive this floor plougher to work with Zheng Xin's car.
