Chapter 660: Drought-tolerant plants
Facing the praise of the ministers, Lin Ran only smiled faintly, and then asked the village chief to continue harvesting other rice, while she herself began to settle accounts for Sima Yunshen.
The ministers also stood aside, listening to Lin Ran's calculations one by one, and they admired or admired them.
Because Lin Dye has done this, it has not only increased rice yields, but also increased other incomes for farmers. The income from fish and duck farming alone is more than the income of a previous year.
If this continues, the life of the peasants will be better and better, and the country will not be far from prosperity.
The villagers were harvesting, and Lin Ran took everyone to visit the orchard, flower garden and workshop. By the time the ministers finished visiting, the shock in their hearts could not be described in words.
Lin Ran took everyone's expressions into his eyes, and then said with a smile, "It has been proved that the planting method I proposed is very effective and can be promoted throughout the country. In addition, I asked people to find some drought-tolerant plants outside, and I plan to try planting, and I hope that all the ministers will support them. ”
"Ah Ran, what drought-tolerant plants, why don't I know?" Sima Yunshen was a little surprised, Lin Ran didn't mention this matter to him.
"This thing only came to me yesterday, and I haven't had time to tell you yet."
"I see, why don't you take things out and let everyone open their eyes."
"Okay!" Lin Ran nodded, and asked people to take out the sweet potatoes she took out of the space last night.
As soon as the thing was taken out, the well-informed minister immediately said, "Why does this thing look like it came from Fanbang?" ”
"That's right, this thing is called sweet potato, also called sweet potato, and it is exactly what Fanbang is. It is said that this thing has a very high yield, and it is also drought tolerant, and some places are not suitable for growing rice, but this sweet potato can be grown. ”
"Really? That's great. However, you still have to find a place to try it out first. ”
"That's nature, I've figured it out. There happens to be a lot of wasteland here, so you can try planting it first. ”
"Niangniang, is this thing really going to be planted in our village?" When the village chief heard this, he immediately became happy. After living all his life, he felt that the best decision he had made was to agree to grow rice according to the method of Lin Ran.
See, as soon as this is not a good thing, the mother thinks of their village.
"That's right, I've already seen the wasteland in your village, and it's very suitable for planting."
"Then what to do, Niangniang, you say, our village will definitely cooperate well."
"Don't worry, I'll talk about it when the harvest is over. However, it is a little late to plant, and the harvest may be a little worse. But it doesn't matter, after all, it's the first year, and it's good to wait until next year. ”
The village chief couldn't wait to tell the villagers the good news, Lin Ran and Sima Yunshen and his entourage didn't stay in the village for long, and at about noon, they returned to the palace with some of the harvested rice.
The news of the rice yield of more than 400 catties per mu soon spread, and those villages that had refused to test before immediately regretted it.
In fact, when they saw that those villages were selling fish and ducks, they already regretted it. But it's too late, who let them not seize the opportunity before.
After returning to the palace, Lin Ran sorted out the cultivation method of sweet potatoes, and handed it over to the agricultural department in the same way as the previous rice planting method.
She doesn't have to ask about the rest. If there is a problem, someone from the Ministry of Agriculture will look for her.
The planting thing has been on the right track, and Lin Ran has begun to think about the breeding thing again. In the past, raising ducks in the rice fields was just a small dish, and she planned to let the villagers raise livestock on a large scale, including chickens, ducks, geese, pigs, cattle and sheep.
