Chapter 533: Seeds, Seeds That Belong to the Border City
Life is not only about poetry and distance, but also about what is in front of you. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Li Mu can't ignore what is going to happen now because of what will happen in the future.
Thousand Feather Guard, the matter of the life and death camp is solved, the matter of weapons is settled, and the rest is the problem of eating.
He can not care about the life and death of the more than 70,000 Hu Lu of the Qiang tribe, but he can't help but think about himself, Xiang'er and the 1,300 women, as well as the more than 10,000 new Han women.
Food in the city was limited, and it only lasted for a year or two.
This is not including the more than 70,000 Hulu.
If the more than 70,000 Qiang Hulu are counted, and the life of these more than 70,000 Qiang Hulu is maintained with gruel, the food in the city is only enough to last for more than half a year.
After half a year, there will be no food to eat in the city.
Without food to eat, this is a very important matter, and he must find a way to solve it.
However, this dilemma is also easy to solve.
......
"Do you know about Xiang'er's farming?"
Li Mu asked Xiang'er, the best way to solve the problem of food is to grow food.
Now there is a surplus of labor in the border city, and there are more than 70,000 Qiang Hulu, and through the training of Xiang'er and them, they can always select a group of suitable Qiang slaves.
It is fully responsible for all the heavy labor activities in the border city, from striking iron, building training grounds, to later cultivating farmland.
You must know that the land of Yanbei, hundreds of years later, is also an important granary.
In this plane, Yanbei has not departed from the category of granary.
"Understandable son, we not only have the daughter of the iron, the daughter of the carpenter, the daughter of the embroiderer, but also the daughter of the farmer."
Xiang'er said with a smile, she didn't laugh, among all the Han women in the border city, the daughters of the farming people did account for a large proportion.
After all, the Han family in the Central Plains is a country where agriculture is the foundation of the country.
Those who are engaged in agriculture must be in the majority, and the nominal status of the people who are farmers is one class higher than that of merchants and craftsmen.
Second only to the scholars, that is, the scholars.
Therefore, in the Central Plains, if the Han family is not forced to a certain extent, they are unwilling to abandon the land, give up the craft of farming, and engage in other industries.
Except, of course, reading books.
Seeing Xiang'er say this, Li Mu didn't ask anymore, and directly waved his hand and took out the things in the 'independent private space'.
These things are none other than peonies. Some supplies that Lee had prepared for him.
Among these materials, there are some special materials.
It's some seeds, or crops.
Corn, wheat, rice, potatoes, sweet potatoes, pumpkin, and some other seeds, peonies. Li is prepared, but not much.
Only two servings of each were prepared, one hundred kilograms each.
As for why these seeds are prepared, it is not prepared.
It's because when he came this time, he didn't know the time, the location, or the environment, and he didn't know anything about it.
In this case, the peony. As a cyborg, when Li prepares supplies, he will integrate a complete list of material preparations.
Peony. Li knew that Li Mu was going to the smuggling plane.
It's not somewhere on the plane.
So, peony. After preparing a large number of materials for Li Mu that could be used directly, Li prepared a small number of seeds in case of emergency.
Food can be eaten, and seeds, as long as they are sprinkled on the ground, watered, waited for, tended, and can bear fruit.
Just like the American sci-fi blockbuster on this plane, the pig's feet in the alien planet rescue rely on planting potatoes to maintain until the arrival of the rescue team and complete self-rescue.
Li Mu's situation is much better than that pig's foot that fell on an alien planet.
At least, he didn't have to go to an alien planet.
Instead, they are relegated to some unknown historical smuggling plane.
This is much better than an alien planet, in a certain historical smuggling plane, no matter how bad the situation is, as long as it is not reduced to an extremely cold place like the North and South Poles.
Then there is no shortage of air and soil to grow food in the smuggling plane.
Peony. The seeds prepared by Li can be planted in a range of dozens of acres of land, although they cannot solve the food crisis in the border cities at once.
However, I believe that as long as the initial hardships are persevered, the development of the border city will embark on a benign development.
"Childe, these are ......."
Xiang'er looked at the things Li Mu took out suspiciously, there was obviously food in it, and there were many sacks like burlap bags.
I saw a lot of bags and didn't know what they contained.
Li Mu squatted down, rummaged through the pile of supplies, and after finding a pack of beef jerky, he immediately opened it and took out a piece and chewed it in his mouth, then threw the whole bag of beef jerky to Xiang'er on the side, and continued to look for it in the pile of materials.
Xiang'er took the beef jerky thrown by Li Mu in a panic, looked at it, took out a piece of beef jerky from it, put it in her mouth and chewed it.
After tasting the taste of beef jerky, her eyes lit up, and she whimpered and said, "Childe, what is this?" It's so delicious, like beef. ”
"Yes, it's dried beef."
Li Mu, who found the thing, stood up, holding a bag in his hand, which had not yet been opened.
"Xiang'er go find me a dagger, scissors can also be used."
Showing the nature of a foodie, Xiang'er, who stuffed beef jerky into her mouth, hurriedly nodded indistinctly: "Okay son, I'll go get it for you." ”
As he spoke, he ran back to the house, still holding the bag of beef jerky in his hand.
After a while, Xiang'er ran back and handed a delicate little dagger to Li Mu.
Li Mu took the dagger and swiped it on the pocket he found, instantly cutting out a hole in the pocket, revealing the contents inside.
Potato.
In the pocket was a hundred kilograms of potatoes.
"Childe, what is this?"
Xiang'er looked curiously at the potatoes in her pocket, each the size of a fist, with a yellow skin.
"It's a potato, it's a grain, but it's not edible yet, so you have to keep it as seeds, because these potatoes are also seeds."
Li Mu looked at these potatoes, potatoes that could have been eaten as grain.
Baked potatoes, but his favorite.
"Hmm."
Xiang'er put down the beef jerky in her hand, picked up a potato, and asked curiously, "But how do you grow it?" ”
Li Mu said with a smile: "I will tell you the approximate planting method, the rest of you can explore by yourself, in fact, potatoes are very easy to grow, as long as they have been planted in the ground, they can basically be planted, especially, this kind of potato yield is very high, I believe that it will not take a year to basically solve the food problem in the border city." ”
Hearing this, Xiang'er's eyes lit up, and she couldn't believe it: "Really? ”
"Of course."
Li Mu pointed to these materials and said: "There are other seeds in this, and some of them are also high-yield seeds, after planting these seeds, I believe that in less than a year, there will be no shortage of food in the border city." ”
Xiang'er said anxiously: "Childe quickly tell us how to plant these seeds, and I will find someone to learn from Childe to cultivate these new seeds." ”
After that, Xiang'er didn't wait for Li Mu to agree, and ran away quickly.
It's just that halfway through the run, she ran back again, put down the potato in her hand solemnly, and said, "It's safer to put such a precious seed here." ”
Then, he turned around and ran out of the house to find some Han women to come and learn how to cultivate new seeds.
Seeing Xiang'er running away in a hurry, running back, and running out of the house, Li Mu smiled, and then turned around and went back to the house.
Xiang'er went to find some Han women who knew how to farm, and he also had to prepare.
......
When Li Mu was worried about the safety, survival, weapons, personnel, food, and everything else in the border city, he made arrangements one by one.
The land of Yanbei is also quietly changing, and Hu Lu is also exploring something.
It's like the calm before the storm.
Everything around the border city is very calm, there is no Hulu invading, even if there are Hulu transiting, it seems to have a tacit understanding, and there is no harassment of the border city.
It's just that how long can all this tranquility last?
