Chapter 124: Planting Areas
If you want to ask the survivors of the Lishan base what they are most concerned about now, it is undoubtedly the recruitment in the city center.
In order to get a golden job and become a civil servant in the Lishan base, every survivor did everything he could, some made beauties, some bribed, some patted sycophants, and some cried, made trouble, and hanged themselves, just to become a member of the newly established department.
Now the city center is crowded with people, and the long queue of recruitment teams has been discharged from the city center, in addition to the large number of people, that is, many people have been eliminated from this department and changed to another department to try, resulting in the city center road blocked and impassable for a while.
The entire recruitment event was held for three days, and all departments were fully recruited. Jadindu Yuyan They can also breathe a sigh of relief, three consecutive days of recruitment can make them miserable.
Among the three departments, the production department mainly recruits agricultural and breeding construction planning talents, the commercial department recruits some managers and white-collar workers, and the logistics department recruits some accounting and financial personnel, etc., and the three departments have been fully recruited.
However, on the last day of recruitment, there was new news from the City Lord's Mansion that in the future, the base will need some farmers and breeding personnel to help the base plant and breed.
This time, more people are needed, and the preliminary number of people has reached about 1,000, but these people do not have much food every day, only two or two sweet potatoes, and there is no supply of salt and cooking oil.
They are planned to be under the name of the production department, not regular personnel but temporary workers, or long-term workers, and Wang Jin is the big landlord.
Although the treatment is much worse than that of the department staff, it is still much better than shaving food in the wild, and the survivors are still eager for this job.
Planting and breeding does not require any knowledge, just be able to farm and raise livestock, there is no difficulty.
Therefore, the conditions for finding people are much more relaxed, and basically you can pass with experience in planting and breeding, so although the population is large, it will be full in less than half a day, and there are enough 1,000 people.
When the recruitment is over, there are still a large number of survivors who refuse to leave, eager for the City Lord's Mansion to continue recruiting, but this is impossible.
"Brother Wang! That's where I'm going to grow sweet potatoes. ”
At this time, outside the Lishan base, after the recruitment activity was over, Wang Jin accompanied Du Yuyan and several staff members of their production department to a large plain a few kilometers away from the base.
"Tell me why!" Wang Jin reached out and grabbed a handful of soil, and found that the soil here was indeed very fertile, and it was all dark black soil.
Du Yuyan glanced at Zhang Zhouming on the side, this planting area is still set by him, Du Yuyan saw what he said is the head, and asked a few professionals, then agreed with his opinion, and put the planting location here.
Now in the face of Wang Jin's inquiry, it is natural for Zhang Zhouming to come out and explain, he himself is only half-baked about planting, and he can explain it clearly.
Zhang Zhouming looked at the young man in front of him, and he couldn't think of the controller of the Lishan base, but the facts could not be denied by him, and now that he was begging for food under others, he naturally had to behave well.
He was not the only one who proposed the proposal at the beginning, and some people also proposed to establish a planting area here.
But it was only when Zhang Zhouming carefully investigated, ate and lived on the plains for three days, and summed up a detailed investigation report, that he finally got this opportunity.
"First of all, this plain is large enough, after measurement, this plain has about 5,800 acres of land, and there is no sloping gravel on the plain, which is suitable for field planting, which is conducive to future planting management and irrigation.
In addition, the fertile geology of this plain and the proximity to the river can ensure the growth of sweet potatoes. We also took into account the issue of defense, because this is a plain, and there is no shelter around it, so that we can observe the attack of the mutants and corpses as soon as possible, so that the mutants cannot sneak attack, and effectively protect our farmers.
In the vicinity of this plain, we can dig fish ponds, build a water conservancy system, and use the water source to irrigate and plant, and at the same time use the water to raise fish, and you see, Lord of the city, outside the plain, surrounded by wild grasses, can lay the foundation for our breeding, our farms can be built in this vicinity, and in the future, the manure of livestock can also be used to fertilize the fields and increase the yield of sweet potatoes. ”
Zhang Zhouming talked eloquently, and said the advantages of choosing to plant here, and everyone nodded, thinking that what he said was reasonable, and this plain seemed to be really suitable for planting.
"How productive is this land!" Wang Jin asked what he was most concerned about, and the others were the same, all of them looked at Zhang Zhouming.
Zhang Zhouming has never been so nervous, the young man in front of him can decide his life and death with one word, if his answer is not satisfied, it is not impossible for his head to move.
"Because sweet potatoes are crops with large yields, if there is enough fertilizer, I am sure to increase the yield per mu to more than 4,500 kilograms, but now there is no fertilizer in the base, and we can only rely on the natural planting and growth of sweet potatoes.
Coupled with the fertility of the plain itself, the production capacity of sweet potatoes per mu is about 2,000 kilograms. This plain has 5,800 acres, a total of 11,600 tons of sweet potatoes, sweet potatoes are planted for 4 months, two periods a year, and an average of 1,900 tons of sweet potatoes can be provided for the base every month. ”
Zhang Zhouming took out all his attention and said meticulously, for fear of angering Wang Jin's head, after all, this yield is not very ideal, and the yield per mu with fertility is too different.
"The yield per mu is 2,000 mu, and 1,900 tons of sweet potatoes are provided to the base every month. Can't it be added any more? ”
Wang Jin was a little dissatisfied, no one thought that he had a lot of food in the last days, although there was a monthly income of 1,900 tons of sweet potatoes to basically meet the base, but considering the increase in population in the future, as well as his own plan to search for survivors, these grains were not enough to consume.
"I'm sorry Lord Castle, this is already the best yield I can come up with, and I really can't produce more without fertilizer. There is no more suitable land for growing sweet potatoes near the base, there are no rivers to meet the irrigation requirements, the scattered small-scale planting yields are too small to dig and build canals, which is not worth the loss for us, this plain is the most suitable place for us to grow, and there are not enough seeds, so we can't afford to increase the production of sweet potatoes for the time being."
Zhang Zhouming heard the dissatisfaction in Wang Jin's words, his heart was groaning, and the cold sweat instantly soaked the clothes behind him, and quickly explained to himself, saying that it was not that he was a shallow learner, but he had no way without fertilizer.
