Chapter 185: Potato Harvest

After dealing with the affairs of the barracks, Wang Zhi casually appointed a herald beside him and asked him to set up a bank, in fact, what he had to do was very simple, he was only responsible for recording the withdrawal details of the soldiers and allocating money, as long as he could write and count.

After arranging, Wang Zhi explained, and then took out any door and returned to Daying City, which was located in Yanchang.

In the first 1,200 acres of land, radish and Chinese cabbage have been harvested, and the second crop has been planted, and a stubble can be harvested before the cold weather, but because of fertility, the yield cannot be guaranteed, but at least there can be a harvest. Wang Zhi came back this time for the corn and potatoes in the field, which are now ready to be harvested, and Wang Zhi thinks that it is necessary for him to come out to brush up his prestige when digging the first acre of potatoes and weighing them.

Back in the office in Daying City, it was actually a movable steel room that had not been demolished, and a herald who had been guarding here immediately asked when he saw Wang Zhi coming back: "Teacher, the field is ready, can you go now?" ”

"Go when you're ready!" Wang Zhi has always been quick in his work, so he went out directly.

Because of the increase in the number of students, the area of the school is constantly expanding, and the area where the mobile steel plate house is located has been swallowed up by the school, and the wall of the school has been repaired at this time, almost turning the school into a city within a city, and Wang Zhi has to pass through the only gate of the school to get out.

At this time, the city has changed greatly from the previous city full of tarpaulin tents, for example, the kitchen of the largest complex in the city has been demolished, and deep ditches have been dug in the messy open space, and a stone foundation has been built inside.

There is only one city gate in the big camp city, as soon as you go out of the city gate, what you see is the continuous blue, red and white tarpaulin tents, each tent is neatly placed, and people come and go between the tents, which is much more lively than the deserted city.

Although it is outside the city walls, it is also the area of the Great Camp City, and eighty percent of the population of the Great Camp City lives in simple tents made of these trees and tarpaulins. There are only a handful of people who are qualified to live in the city, except for a group of students from the school.

Walking along the wide avenue between the tents, you can feel the gazes of the women around you. Wang Zhi unconsciously sped up, not because he was shy, but because he knew that his appearance would bring great psychological pressure to these logistics personnel, so it was better to hurry out of their sight.

Quickened the pace, and after a while. Wang Zhihe and the herald went to the potato field, and the piece selected to measure the yield was on the edge of the potato field, and the grass at the edge of the field was already full of people, including managers from various ministries and farmers from the Ministry of Agriculture who were in charge of digging.

Seeing Wang Zhi coming, the first person to greet him was Zhang Song, Minister of Agriculture, who can be said to be his home field today.

Walking to the edge of the potato field, a group of officials immediately surrounded him, Zhong Yicai, Minister of Human Resources, Zhang Youyu, Minister of Industry, Fan Qiuzhi, Minister of Logistics, Zhao Lingyun, Vice Principal of the school, and other officials of the Bureau. Whoever has no work on his hands has come. After all, in an agrarian society, harvesting is a big event, the first harvest of a new crop with high yields, and although there is no ceremony, it is a very important moment in the minds of these people.

"General, can we begin?" Zhang Song asked Wang Zhi.

Wang Zhi thought he was asking if he could start digging potatoes, so he nodded and said, "You can start." ”

Hearing this, Zhang Song immediately ordered someone to move out of a table, and then took out incense burners, candles and other items and began to set up incense tables. It looks like he wants to worship ghosts and gods.

Before obtaining the space-time corridor, Wang Zhi was a staunch materialist, and even after obtaining the space-time corridor, he still did not believe in God (this belief refers to the meaning of faith. Instead of believing), I can't see this set the most, this ordinary world without natural energy has no gods and ghosts and the like, and putting incense on the table to worship the air is purely a delay in time.

Immediately said unhappily: "Withdraw this, don't do these gods and ghosts in the future." There is no God in this world. I brought this grain seed, I also asked people to repair the water conservancy, and I also taught you the planting method, even if it is a bumper harvest, it has nothing to do with those bullshit gods, hurry up and dig potatoes. ”

As the head of the clan and the minister of agriculture for a few months, Zhang Song is also a human spirit, thinking that Wang Zhi was angry because he worshiped God and did not worship him, so he immediately asked people to remove the incense burner and candles, and responded again and again: "We can have enough food and clothing, and we all depend on the general." ”

Then he took a small hoe that was intended to be enshrined and went down to the field himself, and without a few planings, he pulled out a potato plant, shook the soil and picked it up, and then flexibly returned to the ground, and put the potato on the table where the incense was prepared before, and showed it to everyone.

Obviously, it was not the first time that everyone had seen potatoes, but they still made a look of surprise, but Wang Zhi was very dissatisfied. The leaves of this potato plant had begun to turn yellow, which was a sign of maturity, and there were many potatoes growing on the roots, but they were not very large, the largest was not the size of a fist, much worse than his usual potatoes of at least two fist sizes.

"It only grows so big when it is mature, is the secret of high yield really in fertilization?"

Seeing that Wang Zhi frowned, and didn't seem to be very satisfied, Zhang Song on the side thought that his land was not planted well enough, and hurriedly said: "General, according to the old man's speculation, I am afraid that this potato can produce more than fifteen stones per acre......

Saying that, Zhang Song became excited, his wrinkled old face was red, and the corners of his eyes were still a little moist, if there was such a god seed earlier, his wife would not have starved to death when he fled the famine, if it wasn't for Wang Zhizeng's forced order not to kneel, he would have knelt down now.

Hearing the number of fifteen stones, the others were also excited, although they had long heard that the potatoes were highly productive, but they only let go when they saw the actual situation, and there was such a high-yield artifact, there was no shortage of food in Daying City, in this year, there was no shortage of food, and the emperor's hegemony did not seem to be so far away.

Thinking of this, everyone became more and more excited, and Zhong Yicai took the lead in shouting: "The general has this divine seed, our army will no longer be short of food, and the general is really destined by heaven!" Then everyone else followed suit, "Destiny is here."

Wang Zhi didn't like to delay time, and directly shouted to stop their sycophancy: "Stop slapping on the back, hurry up and dig potatoes to measure the yield." ”

"Yes."

Wang Zhi gave an order, and everyone didn't dare to slack off, Zhang Song immediately asked people to measure an acre of land, and then everyone went down to the ground to dig potatoes, and if the hoe was not enough, they dug directly by hand, and only Wang Zhi and Zhao Lingyun were left on the low head.

"Why don't you dig potatoes?" Wang Zhi asked Zhao Lingyun.

"Then why don't you go?" Zhao Lingyun asked rhetorically, "It's not a good thing, it's worth my own hands." ”

"Yo he, when did Principal Zhao, who only has a high school education, become so extravagant, what is worth your own hands?"

Wang Zhi sneered, and seeing that Zhao Lingyun didn't reply, he asked again: "Why did you think of coming here today to come and dig potatoes, I don't think you like this kind of thing?" ”

"For you." (To be continued.) )
