Chapter 064: Farming in a big way
On the way home, Liu An always felt that the manor was still too chaotic now, and once he was not there, he didn't even have a person who could be the master.
It seems that not only the division of labor should be detailed, but also the superiors and subordinates should be clearly scored.
Liu An told Xia Houlan and Liu Ming his thoughts, and the two of them also thought so, but they didn't have much advice.
Liu Ming's own ability is not strong, and Xiahoulan is because he has just come to the manor and does not know all the characters in the village, so he does not dare to speak up.
Liu An could only push the matter back a little further, and by the way, he could also wait for Gao Sheng's body to recover.
Gao Sheng's force and command are extremely prominent among Liu An's subordinates, and Liu An is ready to let him be the same as Zuo Wei to form another manor armed force.
When he got home, Cui had already cooked the meal and placed the food on the three tables, apparently preparing to divide the meal.
Liu An didn't object, Xiahou Lan's family was also a poor family, and they might not be able to adapt to a shared meal.
Cui's sat on the main seat, Liu Anxia and Houlan sat on both sides, today is the first day that Liu An came back from his trip, and Cui's prepared a very sumptuous meal as usual.
Of course, it is estimated that there is also the reason why Xia Houlan is a guest at home.
The meal was very happy, the three of them talked and laughed, and the Cui family was also from a big family, and he was not rude in front of Xiahoulan.
After the meal, Liu An and Xia Houlan returned to the room, the new bed was not small, and the two of them would not feel crowded at all.
After a long journey home, he was busy all afternoon in the afternoon, and after a little conversation with Xia Houlan, Liu An ended the conversation early and prepared to fall asleep under the pretext of exhaustion.
Of course, in fact, Liu An opened the system panel, and today he gathered the victims, and the accumulated contribution was enough for ten consecutive draws of the manor's lottery plate.
By the way, on the way home, Liu An also gained a little contribution, which was provided by those who were unconscious after waking up.
There are a total of 90 contribution points, of which 26 points are given by the previous two cumulative recruitment of dead soldiers and the completion of the grain shop task, and the rest are all obtained from the collection of disaster victims.
Liu An called the system and drew ten consecutive lottery plates from the manor.
[Prepare ten consecutive draws to draw the manor lottery tray, and the system draws the ......]
[Ding - 20 bottles of vitamins, 50 boxes of soap, 500 pieces of coarse cloth, 50 bottles of shampoo, 50 boxes of thirteen incense, 30 guardian swords, make persistent efforts, 50 kg of sugar, two bottles of perfume, 200 packs of instant noodles]
Liu An looked at the prize drawn and chose 50 kilograms of white sugar without hesitation.
Although the thirteen incense is also very good, the weight of each box is definitely not as good as a kilogram of white sugar, and the price of white sugar in the Eastern Han Dynasty is more expensive than the thirteen incense!
After all, during this period of the Eastern Han Dynasty, there were no things such as white sugar and brown sugar, and now even the famous and powerful can only taste liquid sugar juices such as honey or starch syrup, and there is no solid sugar at all.
There are still 40 contribution points left, and Liu An drew three farming lottery trays and one livestock lottery tray.
With the addition of 10 consecutive rewards, the total amount will be as follows:
50 servings*4 of advanced fertilizer, 10 servings*4 of corn seeds, 10 servings*3 of advanced fertilizer, continuing the good work*3, 10 servings*3 of cotton seeds*3, 10 servings*3 of wheat seeds, 10 servings*2 of red pepper seeds, 10 servings*2 of alfalfa seeds, 10 servings*2 of rice seeds, 75 apple saplings*2, 10 servings of cabbage seeds, 10 servings of spinach seeds, 10 servings of carrot seeds, 10 servings of soybean seeds, 10 servings of tomato seeds.
5 premium carrier pigeons, chickens, pet cats, war dogs, goats, domestic pigs, dairy cows, and beef cattle, and 10 high-quality BMWs, make persistent efforts again and again (Note).
After the lottery, Liu An opened his inventory and looked at it.
Today, there are 340 servings of high-grade fertilizers in stock, and 171 servings are needed for crops that can be grown today, including peppers, corn, apples, cotton, soybeans, sweet potatoes and spinach.
Other crops are not suitable for planting seasons, but tomatoes are a systematic example of the fact that the tomato seeds produced by the system are only suitable for sowing in the south.
Tomorrow, Liu An is going to extract all the seeds of crops that can be planted at this time, and arrange for people to start sowing.
The newly pumped animals can only be extracted after the remaining livestock farms are built because the built livestock farms are full.
Thinking about tomorrow, Liu An gradually fell asleep.
Early the next morning, Liu An took advantage of the meal time to go back to the house, extracted the soap and shampoo he had drawn yesterday, took out one separately, and put the rest in the new cupboard.
Coming out with soap and shampoo, Liu An said to Cui's and Xiahoulan:
"In the future, I will use these two things to wash my face and hair, the box is called soap, which is used to wash my face, and the bottled one is called shampoo, which is used to wash my hair, which is very refreshing."
Cui Shi and Xia Houlan agreed, both of them knew that Liu An was now trading with foreign countries, and it was not strange to take out some strange things.
After eating, Liu An drove to the manor with Xiahoulan and Liu Ming.
At this time, the Zhuang people also finished eating and went to work under the command of Wang Zhi and others.
Liu An called Wang Zhi and others to introduce Xiahoulan to everyone, and then asked Xiahoulan to familiarize himself with the manor.
He himself found a spare room, stood in the center of the room, and extracted 180 servings of high-grade fertilizer.
Every five portions of fertilizer were stacked on top of each other, and 180 portions of fertilizer were stacked neatly in the room, almost filling the purpose-built house.
Liu An changed another empty room, and extracted peppers, corn, cotton, soybeans, spinach seeds, and 400 kilograms of sweet potatoes, so that the room was almost full.
Looking for a vacant room again, Liu An extracted 3 groups of apple saplings in the inventory, a total of 225 plants.
Then Liu An went to find Feng Yan, Qu Ze and Xiahou Lan, and taught Feng Yan the cultivation methods of peppers, sweet potatoes and soybeans, the cultivation methods of spinach, corn and apples to Qu Ze, and the cultivation methods of cotton to Xia Houlan alone.
Cotton is what Liu An values the most, its economic value is extremely high, and it can also provide warmth to the Zhuang people in winter, and the cultivation method of cotton is also more troublesome, from the seedling to the seedling during the seedling, and then to the fork after the adult plant and the flowering picking, which is extremely cumbersome, so it was taught to Xiahoulan alone.
However, Xia Houlan could not only be responsible for the cultivation of cotton, and Liu An also planned to let him sort out a manor management plan.
Of course, teaching the cultivation methods of different crops to different people is not that Liu An can't believe them, after all, they are all his dead soldiers, and there is no such thing as not being trustworthy.
It's just that Feng Yan and Qu Ze have limited abilities, and Liu An is afraid that they won't be able to remember if they say too much, or confuse the cultivation methods of different crops.
After repeating the teaching several times and making sure that several people had written them down, Liu An asked them to immediately start preparing for planting.
Before Liu An went to Zhongshan, he planned 170 acres of cultivated fields and 10 acres of orchards, and in the past few days, Feng Yan and the others have all been cultivated, leaving only fertilization and irrigation, and then they can directly plant crops.
Among them, 10 acres of cultivated land have been planted with carrots, and another 8 acres of land need to be cultivated to plant 400 kilograms of sweet potatoes.
About 50 kilograms of seed potatoes are needed per acre.
However, sweet potatoes need to be raised, and this matter is not urgent, and it is only 8 acres of land, and it only takes an hour to plough the farm.
Apple saplings need 75 plants per acre of land, and the three groups of saplings only occupy 3 acres of land, and the 10 acres of orchards reserved by Liu An are completely sufficient.
