439 Great granary

In the past, most of the linen clothes that the natives used to change were woven from this material...

And with the technology of weaving woolen brought by Yang Yinuan to Qianshan City, this kind of linen clothing will naturally withdraw from the historical stage in a large area.

Of course, this is only to say that there will be a large-scale withdrawal, not that it will not be used in the future.

After all, the world is not rich enough for everyone to afford woolen clothing.

Outside of the Thousand Mountains City, there are many poor people......

And this kind of cotton and linen, in addition to being used to weave linen, can also be used to make hemp rope and sacks.

These are a very important means of production in the world.

Moreover, the seeds of this yellow mulberry hemp can also be used to extract oil, so the economic value of this crop is still very high.

There are still many local crops with high economic value like this, and Yang Yinuan naturally wants to give full play to the role of these crops......

For example, one of the most important is the endemic alfalfa.

This is a plant unique to the Falken Star, and it looks like a completely different thing from the alfalfa on the blue star.

At first, the locals pointed to the plants in the Handa grassland, which were often as tall as a person and looked like sorghum, and told Yang Yinuan that this thing was called alfalfa.

Yang Yinuan was stunned!

Fortunately, he quickly figured out that this thing was indeed a plant of the Sativa genus.

It's just that the alfalfa on the blue star belongs to a distant relative.

This alfalfa is very tall and has a high nutritional value for its stems, branches and leaves.

It is rich in minerals, and a variety of plant proteins.

This is one of the main reasons why the local bison and wild sheep can grow so big.

Because of this, Yang Yinuan even brought back the seeds of this alfalfa from the grassland, and began to sow them in a large area near the fields they had cultivated.

And this thing, he doesn't have to wait until it grows too tall, as long as it grows waist-high, he will let people harvest a wave.

Then make it into green storage feed!

The herdsmen of this era did not yet have the concept of making green fodder.

And he also had Grumman follow the alfalfa for a while.

And Grumman, after researching it, told him that this thing didn't have to wait until it was grown.

When it grows to the middle size, it can be harvested and made into green fodder.

Because at this time, the nutrients contained in this alfalfa are sufficient.

When it grows, some of the nutrients in it will be consumed due to the growth of the crop itself.

In this way, it is not beautiful......

This also made Yang Yinuan very happy, because in this way, this alfalfa can be harvested twice in a year.

Since planting in March, the crop has grown extremely fast.

By June, it will grow to waist-high height and you can harvest a wave.

At this time, as long as the root system of the alfalfa is not damaged, it will continue to grow.

In this way, in September and October, its second crop can still rise to waist-high height, and at this time it can harvest a stubble.

After two rounds, the recovered green storage fodder is not only enough for the local pastures in Qianshan City.

He can also bring back a large number of them for the second uncle's farm.

You must know that there is a big gap in the green storage feed used by Yanlong Country Animal Husbandry now.

On the one hand, due to the limitation of domestic geographical conditions, the domestic production of alfalfa is insufficient.

On the other hand, it is also related to the continuous rise in food prices in recent years.

A lot of the land is used to grow food, so there is no extra land to grow alfalfa.

Yanlong imports a large amount of green storage feed for livestock for winter from overseas every year.

And this is mainly based on alfalfa.

Because of the difference in nutritional value, the price of this imported alfalfa is also 1500-3600 yuan red coins, ranging from 1500 to 3600 yuan per ton.

Yang Yinuan probably estimated that if he waited until this autumn harvest.

The alfalfa cultivated in the Qixingzhai area alone can collect tens of thousands of tons of alfalfa grass.

He can bring back at least 20,000 tons of these forages, which can help the second uncle's farm have tens of millions of feed money left!

If it is mixed with local feed, it is sold.

Hehe, there is no need to sell cattle and sheep at that time, just by selling green storage feed, you can earn tens of millions.

This is another new way to make money!

Because of this, he attaches great importance to the development of land near Qixingzhai.

At the same time, he is also studying the development of land in the vicinity.

I'm wondering if I'm bringing some other seeds of high economic added value crops next time.

For example, cotton......

Originally, he planned to metabolize modern farming tools, but when he saw that the local natives had already used a lot of horse farming.

I gave up on this idea!

At this point, I have to say that this northern area is really talented.

Guarding the Handa grassland, the people here have inexhaustible cattle and sheep.

Even now it is so extravagant that it is possible to cultivate the land not with oxen, but with horses.

In fact, horse farming is nothing new on the Blue Star, but in ancient times, the Yanlong Kingdom used cattle as an auxiliary labor tool more.

This is because Yanlong has been short of horses since ancient times.

However, in ancient times in the state of Roba, farmers in many countries used horses to help plough the fields.

Because there is no shortage of horses at all, and horses are more efficient than oxen.

According to the statistics of agricultural workers in Roba Prefecture, it is possible to plough 0.4 hectares more with cattle and 0.5-0.6 hectares with horses.

Therefore, horse farming is undoubtedly more efficient, especially with the improvement of modern farming equipment.

Not only is horse farming more efficient, but you can do more with horses.

For example, farmers in Roba Prefecture later invented horse-drawn combine harvesters in addition to using horses to plough the land......

And Yang Yinuan saw that local farmers also began to use horse farming.

After all, the fuel of gasoline and diesel, and the maintenance of agricultural machinery is also a big problem.

Anyway, there are horses in this world, so it is better to use a lot of horses to help farmers plow the land and farm!

At that time, according to the size of the local horse, you can also design agricultural machinery and agricultural tools that meet the local characteristics.

In this way, it will not be long before this Qixingzhai will usher in an era of great agricultural development.

With horse-drawn carts, farmers can travel farther every day to work, making it easier to manage the fields.

With horse-drawn agricultural tools, it is possible to improve the efficiency of agricultural production.

Later, when the supporting agricultural machinery is produced, then plough the land, sow the seeds, plant the seedlings, and harvest at the back.

It can even be done with horse-drawn farming tools, which can greatly improve the efficiency of agricultural production.

The day when Qixingzhai will become the granary of Qianshan City is just around the corner!
