Chapter 225: Impact (Part II) (Guaranteed Subscription 2)
For example, the head of a wealthy family is proficient in all kinds of things, but he knows everything, and agriculture has always been one of the most important sources of tax revenue in various dynasties in China, how can a person like Li Yi not understand?
Looking at the ear of wheat in front of him cautiously, Li Yi had an unbelievable feeling, not to mention anything else, let's just say that this originally barren land, why did such a good wheat grow!
For example, the farmland under the name of his Longxi Li family's Dunhuang house, even if it is a good field, the ears of wheat are only about half the size of this! Wheat planting density aside, let's just say that the other party's yield per mu is at least twice that of their fertile land!
Although the wheat has just finished heading, whether the ears are full when harvested is also an important reason for the yield, but the size of the ears alone has already explained a lot of problems!
Could this be a ...... Immortal Seed?! A thought popped up in Li Yi's mind, seeing these wheat, Li Yi finally understood where Huo Gang's confidence came from!
Huo Gang actually doesn't care, first, his cognition of wheat comes from the wheat ears he farmed at home when he was a child in his previous life, although it was Huo Gang's childhood, but Huo Gang's family didn't farm and moved to the city after junior high school, so he has a cognition of the wheat ears, which is not much different from what he sees now.
So he wasn't shocked at all, and secondly, Huo Gang hadn't seen the size of the ears of wheat in this era, so he couldn't see any difference, but for Li Yi and others, it was really completely different!
In fact, the seeds of some crops in this era are completely different from those of later generations, take corn as an example, wild corn in this era, the size of a corn cob is about the size of an adult's little finger.
That's right, the corn cob that matured in the wild of America in this era is the size of an adult's thumb, how many generations do you think such corn can be cultivated to become high-yielding corn for future generations?
Breeding is a technical work, and it is not that the fertility of the land is enough to turn it into a high-yield crop, these are two concepts.
And now the spiritual spring water of the spirit of the Jade Gate ...... It is equivalent to adding a passive mythical hero to Huo Gang's territory-Yuan Da Druid!
"Leader Huo, can I bring some ears of wheat back?" Li Yi raised his head and looked at Huo Gang and asked.
"Of course it's fine, but please don't spread the news." Although Huo Gang didn't know how rebellious his wheat ears were, from Wu Ping's attention to these wheat, Huo Gang could see that the improvement effect of spiritual spring water on grain was very obvious, and from Li Yi's expression, Huo Gang naturally saw it.
"Of course, thank you Leader Huo for your trust." Li Yi carefully took out a silk handkerchief from his body, pulled out a few ears of wheat from the side, wrapped them in the handkerchief, and then handed it to a subordinate behind him and said: "Take it carefully, don't damage it in the slightest, and go back to the city to find a box to put it in a while." ”
"Yes!"
After finishing the order, Li Yicai arched his hand at Huo Gang: "General Huo, I don't know these immortal seeds, do we have the right to buy them in the future?" ”
"In the case of planting that I meet my arable land, it can be sold." Huo Gang thought about it and didn't refuse.
The reason is very simple, high-yielding seeds may be supported by land fertility, and Lingquan water can provide these, but Datang can't do it.
However, none of this matters, for Huo Gang, satisfying or not cultivating cultivated land is just a matter of his words, at least in the next few years, it is estimated that it is impossible, so Huo Gang wants to test these improved seeds.
This year, Huo Gang will take out some of these high-yield wheat seeds and plant them near Yiwu City next year, where there is no spiritual spring water, Huo Gang will look at the yield.
If the yield is not so perverted, it is naturally no problem to sell it to them, but if the yield is also very perverted, then whether it can satisfy Huo Gang's own cultivation is not a matter of one sentence?
"Thank you." Li Yi took a deep breath, if he could get such a good breed, he would probably be able to produce a few more high-ranking officials in the Dunhuang room of the Li family in Longxi. Their status in Li Er's mind will naturally rise in a straight line.
It is not an exaggeration to say that if it were other wealthy families who had received such benefits, Li Er might have considered it, but the Li family in Longxi would probably not be stingy.
After looking at the farmland, Li Yi naturally walked back to the city with Huo Gang, but in the process of returning to the city, Li Yi looked at the surrounding scene with an unbelievable feeling, the closest part near the river was farmland.
On the periphery, there is a meadow full of alfalfa grass, and the arable land where these alfalfa grasses are located is also ridged, but further afield, these alfalfa grasses are left unattended, and they are all left to grow on their own.
But even so, it can be seen that these alfalfa grasses are still spreading into the distance, and some of the alfalfa grasses that Li Yi saw have even been harvested, and the harvested alfalfa grass is spread out next to it for drying, obviously at this time, they are already preparing the hay for wintering.
And these alfalfa, these are the best quality hay!
The Turks rarely fought against the Tang Dynasty in the winter in the past, because they mainly relied on cavalry, and there was a lack of forage in winter, so the Turks could not advance much distance in winter, especially when the weather warmed up in the spring, the Tang Dynasty had a great advantage.
But this advantage will obviously no longer exist here in Huo Gang.
If Huo Gang knew what Li Yi was thinking, Huo Gang would simply tell him that you were right. Alfalfa hay is a legume hay that is rich in protein, and for all herbivores, this hay is a high-quality hay, and this naturally dried green hay has a nutritional value that is not much different from the bran of wheat.
You must know that wheat bran is a kind of concentrate in this era! And the cattle and sheep in Huo Gang's current territory can almost be said to be the essence of perennial feeding, can such cattle and sheep not be fat and strong?
Huo Gang had already asked Zheng Ning to send a large number of chickens and ducks here, and Huo Gang would distribute these things to all the farmers for raising, and Huo Gang was already preparing to raise pigs.
Alfalfa grass can be used as a type of pig feed because it is rich in protein. When meat begins to become popular, you don't have to think about it to know that whether it is the soldiers under Huo Gang or the ordinary people, their physical fitness and life expectancy will continue to increase.
When Li Yi returned to Yumen Pass with Huo Gang, at this moment, in Xue Yantuo's department, which was directly north of Huo Gang, in Yi Nan's tent, there were seven or eight people gathered at this moment.
"Modra, is this your gift to us?" Yi Nan's face was very ugly.
"Leader Yinan, I'm just here to convey Jieli Khan's orders, but I still want you to carry it out." Modra said with a serious face, "To be honest, if it wasn't for the last resort, I wouldn't want to do this, but Jieli Khan said that these sheep, the Khan will send someone to return them to you." ”
"Also?! When will it be returned? This year or next year? I, Xue Yantuo, had a difficult time, but now if there are less than these 70,000 sheep, it means that our entire tribe will have a problem in winter, and I don't know how many of Xue Yantuo's descendants will freeze to death in winter! Yi Nan's face was extremely ugly.
Modra paused for a moment, and then he spoke: "Leader Yinan, I just came to convey the order, and now that the order has been delivered, I still have a few personal words, I don't know whether to say it or not." ”
"Please." Yi Nan took a deep breath and said directly.
"Leader Yinan, I know it's unfair to you Xue Yantuo, but then again, you said, even if Jieli Khan drove cattle and sheep from the headquarters to Huo Gang, and Huo Gang only gave us two months, do you think it's too late?" Modra raised his head directly and asked.
That's right, Modra is back here, but this time he came back after returning to Jieli's Khan Department to report to Jieli.
Mo Daluo had already reported Huo Gang's situation here to Jieli, and Jieli, who was not very bold, finally chose to give Huo Gang 70,000 sheep. There is no way, who let Huo Gang's murderous reputation go out?! If you don't give it, if Huo Gang really leads the army to attack...... Rushing at Huo Gang's cavalry, Jieli knew that he had no chance of defeating the other party at all.
This is not the most terrible, the most terrible thing is that in a war with Datang, he can run if he can't fight, the grassland is so big, right? But fighting with Huo Gang...... If you lose, you won't even have a chance to run.
As a Turkic, Jieli knows nothing more about the situation on the steppe, if Huo Gang defeats him, Huo Gang can dominate the entire Eastern Turks in an instant! Such a temptation...... No matter how Jie Li thought about it, he felt that Huo Gang would not give up.
The point is that if Huo Gang goes east, it means that Datang will definitely not give up, and the fate of his Jieli can be imagined at that time, if there is a regret medicine in this world, Jieli will definitely not provoke Huo Gang and let him develop badly? Why did you send someone over?
Originally, Jieli wanted to scare Huo Gang, after all, as the Khan of the Eastern Turks, hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, Huo Gang was not afraid? But...... People are really not afraid!
Once the other party is really not afraid, will Jieli dare to send troops to attack? It's simply impossible! On the contrary, Huo Gang can lead the army eastward at any time, Jieli is really repentant, the problem is, he didn't expect that this Huo Gang is a fucking stunned youth!
After thinking about it, Jieli finally decided to give Huo Gang 70,000 sheep, of course, these 70,000 sheep could not come out of his tribe, so they could only come out of Xue Yantuo's department, Xue Yantuo's department had different intentions, just right, let Xue Yantuo come out of these 70,000 sheep, first, to detect whether they really have different intentions, and secondly, to take the opportunity to weaken them.
