Chapter 706: Enter the barracks
"It's great that Sister Xiaoxue was able to take out all the potato seeds used in 20,000 acres of wasteland, I thought I could only plant a small piece of land first.
So many potato seeds can't be stored in the open air, and I definitely can't put them in this space ring, so it's better to trouble Sister Xiaoxue to accompany me to the army.
I want to store the potato seeds in the army's granary first, so that there will be guards at all times, and I am not afraid of any accidents that will happen to these potato seeds. ”
Zhang Xiaoxue actually had potato seeds in his hand to plant 20,000 acres of wasteland, Yu Wenze was extremely excited when he heard the news, which was much better than he originally expected.
Thinking of so many potato seeds, you can't store them in the open air.
In case it rains, or if other unsightly wild things come here to cause trouble, it is best to store it in the army's granary.
"Okay. ”
Zhang Xiaoxue has no opinion on where to put it, and it is not bad to be able to enter the army to see it.
Summoned the forest giant wolf who had not been taken back, and the two of them rode on the forest giant wolf and rushed to the nearest military camp stationed here.
The nearest barracks to this clearing is the third battalion of the Northwest Army, about five miles away from here, and with the footsteps of the giant wolf of the forest, not to mention the blink of an eye, it will soon reach the gate of the third battalion.
Yu Wenze had already come over not long ago, and the soldiers guarding the camp gate saw Yu Wenze behind Zhang Xiaoxue, and quickly opened the closed camp gate wide, and respectfully welcomed Yu Wenze's entry.
Yu Wenze nodded to the guard, even if he had said hello, he didn't get down from the forest wolf, and directly drove the forest wolf to the main tent of the camp before stopping.
When the two of them got off the forest wolf, Zhang Xiaoxue put the forest wolf away, and saw several people wearing officer clothes coming out of the main camp tent.
"I've seen His Royal Highness King Yan. ”
They all stepped forward and saw Yu Wenze again, and they all looked at Zhang Xiaoxue on the side.
I don't know why a young girl would follow His Royal Highness King Yan.
Yu Wenze introduced Zhang Xiaoxue's identity, "Well, this is the county lord of Xueshan." ”
Not to mention Zhang Xiaoxue, the county lord, has just been sealed for a long time, and the sound can't be transmitted here.
For them, the garrisons on the border, it was naturally even less clear.
They weren't curious about Zhang Xiaoxue's identity, but seeing that she wasn't very old, they didn't know what they were doing in the barracks this time?
After the battalion commander and several officers such as the chief of staff greeted Zhang Xiaoxue, Yu Wenze didn't say any other nonsense, and directly asked them to take the two to the grain depot in the battalion.
The barracks were no longer tents for soldiers, but sturdy stone houses.
There were several rooms in this row, and the one they entered was probably just a room dedicated to food.
It is no different from the storehouse where ordinary people live, but the area is very large.
After opening the grain depot, Zhang Xiaoxue first saw some sacks of grain piled up in the grain depot, and there were wooden planks under the sacks.
The granary was filled with more dry forage, presumably used to feed the horses in the army.
Grain does not occupy much of the area of the grain depot, and it is only a quarter of the area, and it is not known that this amount of grain is enough for the barracks for a long time.
"Sister Xiaoxue, you can put the potato seeds here. ”
Yu Wenze pointed to a place not far from the sack containing grain.
"Good. ”
I saw Zhang Xiaoxue agree, and with a wave of her hand, a large pile of sealed oil-paper bags was piled up in the place designated by Yu Wenze.
The few officers who came over with him, when they saw Zhang Xiaoxue doing this, their hearts were also sudden, it seems that the identity of this Xueshan county lord is very unusual, and he actually has this kind of treasure in his body.
Although they heard what Yu Wenze said about potato seeds, they were a little confused in their minds, what are potatoes?
"These are potato seeds, and they are high-yield grains to be planted on the reclaimed wasteland, and Camp Commander Wang must have sent people to take a careful look at them, and they are not allowed to spoil even a little.
The slaves were hurrying to reclaim the wasteland and plant the potato seeds, and the time had to make arrangements for the soldiers to patrol there. ”
"Yes, please rest assured, Your Highness will definitely send more people to take care of you. ”
Although none of these officers knew what kind of item the potatoes were, they did not prevent them from carrying out the orders of the superiors.
"This potato is a new variety of high-yield grain that has just been planted this year, and the yield per mu has reached more than 2,000 catties, so we must pay attention to it. ”
After listening to Yu Wenze's introduction to potatoes, all the officers couldn't help but gasp, it really made them unbelievable, the yield of more than 2,000 catties per mu, is this true?
But looking at the serious expression of His Royal Highness King Yan, it doesn't look like a joke with them.
If 20,000 acres of wasteland are reclaimed, and all of them are really planted with potatoes with a yield of more than 2,000 catties per mu, then by the time of harvest, how much grain can be harvested.
I don't know what the taste of the potatoes is, no matter how unpalatable it is, this yield alone is shocking, and no one will refuse.
I don't know if this potato has been popularized at home, I haven't been home for a long time, and if the family's farmland is also planted with this kind of high-yield crop, then how much more income will the family have.
Several officers thought about it in their hearts, Battalion Commander Wang belonged to the highest commander in the third battalion, and he couldn't hold back it, and asked.
"His Royal Highness King Yan, the yield of this potato mu is so high, I don't know if it has been popularized?
I haven't been home for two years, and I don't know if there is such a high-yield crop in my hometown. ”
Battalion Commander Wang took the lead in asking, and the other officers also looked at Yu Wenze with blank eyes, hoping to hear good news from him.
"Potatoes were just planted this spring, but a small part of them were harvested, so they have not yet been popularized, and in another year or two, potatoes will be able to spread in our country. ”
Although it was heard that potatoes were not widely available, this high-yield crop had not yet been cultivated among the common people.
But when they heard Yu Wenze's promise that within a year or two, potatoes would be popularized, and they were very happy when they thought about the good life they could live in their hometown in the future, and they all had a smile on their faces.
"By the way, Sister Xiaoxue, I see that the number of potato seeds in each bag is very even, it should be about the same weight in each bag, right?"
Yu Wenze saw the piles of oil-paper bags containing potato seeds, the size was exactly the same, and it was estimated that the number of potato seeds in each bag should be the same.
I happened to see a scale at the door of the grain depot, so I just weighed it, so I could settle the silver money of Sister Xiaoxue's batch of potato seeds as soon as possible.
