Chapter 19: For a Firewood (Ask for Collection)
Li Yan led everyone back to the house, Li Na and they naturally followed, and when they arrived in the living room, Li Yan asked Li Na to sit down, but Zhao Xuan stood behind Li Yan without saying a word, but this time she did not bow her head, but stared at Li Yan's back.
Li Yan has now regained his calm, although Zhao Xuan called him, so that his heart involuntarily had this girl's figure, but he has too many things to do now, so he is not in a hurry to fall in love with Zhao Xuan, the future of the entire Carlin family is pressed on him, and the first thing he should think about should be the survival of more than 100 people.
Li Na is now accustomed to Li Yan's way of doing things, so she didn't excuse herself, sat down, looked at Li Yan excitedly, and said, "Young Master, what are we going to do next?" She has now begun to unconsciously ask Li Yan's opinion.
Li Yan thought for a while and said: "Grandma Li Na, you go outside in a while, choose some people who are best at farming, let them plant the ten acres of land, and ask what is the most suitable to plant at this time, by the way, do we have seeds?" ”
Li Na nodded and said, "Yes, we have a lot of seeds in our hands now, but most of these seeds are made of some grain and ordinary vegetables, and they are the most suitable for planting in the mountains, the land outside is so good, it would be too wasteful to plant those things." ”
Li Yan nodded, he turned to Li Na and said, "Grandma Li Na, the weather is still a little cold now, what do those slaves use to keep warm at night?" ”
Li Na said with a sad face: "Young Master, at that time, we only thought of buying some things for application, such as cooking and heating, we used a magic stove in the house, but now we have too few magic crystals, so we can't use the magic stove to heat and cook, and now we use dead trees and hay on the mountain for cooking and heating." ”
Li Yan nodded, obviously Li Na, who has always been in the upper echelons of the aristocracy, although they are working hard to prepare everything, but they don't know an ancient Chinese saying, seven things to open the door, firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, and tea.
These seven things are closely related to people's lives, especially the four pieces of firewood, rice, oil and salt, which are people's necessities, among which firewood ranks first can see its importance.
But because they have been in a high position, they don't know much about these things, although Li Na and they brought a lot of living materials, but for the simplest and most important necessities in life, firewood, they are not well prepared.
In fact, the main reason for this is that the Loess Plateau is really too barren here, and even the grass grows to death, which Li Na did not expect.
The population here in the Tianyuan Continent is very large, but the area is larger, firewood is not a precious thing here at all, the poles of crops in the field, the branches in the forest, rich people can use charcoal, nobles generally use magic furnaces driven by magic crystals, no one has ever worried about firewood at all, even the poorest people will not worry about burning firewood.
But this firewood has become a precious thing here on the Loess Plateau, where only some small short trees grow here, and there are some wild grasses, except for these things, there is nothing to use.
So Li Na and the others found that although they were very well prepared, they were not prepared for the most inconspicuous thing on this continent, and there was no such thing here on the Loess Plateau.
Li Na saw that Li Yan didn't speak, so she had to say, "Young Master, what do you want to plant on the land outside?" ”
Li Yan is also thinking about this now, and now he has several seeds in his hand that are suitable for planting outside, wheat, pasture, these can be.
Although there is cabbage, but now the season is not right, it can't be planted, but wheat and pasture are not suitable either, not to mention pasture, now you don't need that thing, although wheat is a good thing, but he can't produce much firewood.
The most important thing is that the yield of wheat is not very high, so Li Yan doesn't want to grow this thing, now is not the time for him to adjust his taste of life, he has to think about how to solve the problem of the Carlin family first.
Then Li Yan has only one choice left now, corn!
Corn is a good thing, and it is also a crop that Li Yan was most familiar with before, not to say that he had planted it himself, and many rural areas around the city where he used to be planted corn, corn not only has a high yield, but most importantly, he is also the main crop of firewood, and now there are many places in the rural areas in the north, and the firewood in winter is mainly based on corn stalks.
But now he only has corn seeds in his hands to grow two acres of land, and this improved land is ten acres, which is simply not enough.
Li Yan frowned and counted the things available in his hand, a total of two hundred gold coins in space, six bags of forage seeds (six acres of land), two bags of cabbage seeds (two acres of land), two bags of wheat seeds (two acres of land), two bags of corn seeds (two acres of land), and there was a season of radishes in the warehouse, which could be sold for five hundred gold coins, but it was impossible to take out the space for gold coins to use.
And now he can still open two acres of land in the space, but these two acres of land need two hundred gold coins, if he opens the land, then he will have nothing in his hands.
Li Na looked at Li Yan frowning, she didn't know what she was thinking, she didn't speak, she knew that it was useless to ask Li Yan now, she hoped that this young master, who had been creating miracles recently, could create miracles.
Zhao Xuan is also looking at Li Yan intently now, she finds that when she is thinking, Li Yan is particularly attractive, and that deep feeling makes her particularly fascinated.
Li Yan calculated the things in his hand, and finally chose a plan, he turned to Li Na and said: "Grandma Li Na, you still organize those people to clean up the mine cave in a while, you must clean up the mine as soon as possible, tomorrow I will improve the ten acres of land, and then tell you what to plant, I will go to rest first." With that, he stood up and walked into the room.
Although Li Na didn't know what Li Yan could do, she still chose to believe in Li Yan, Li Yan had been so good recently, and she had also gained an ability that she couldn't understand, she believed that Li Yan would have a way.
Tie Dan and Goudan followed Li Yan to his room, but Zhao Xuan did not follow, she wanted to organize those slaves to clean up the mine with Li Na, and Li Na alone would not be able to keep busy.
Li Yan returned to the room as fast as he could, and still let Tie Dan and Dog Dan control the wind outside the door, and he got into the space at once.
The space is still the same as it was, although the land and water have been upgraded, but there is still nothing to see from the appearance, Li Yan took a closer look at the space, and found that the space soil and water here have not changed at all, and they have not decreased because of the improvement of the land, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
Improving the land outside the space has many benefits for him, and if the space suddenly disappears one day, he also has a large area of land outside and will not starve to death.
But now he is in the accumulation stage, and the existence of space will help him even more, if there are any changes in the space because of the improvement of the land, then he will really lose more than he gains.
looked at the radish again, it was almost ripe, and Li Yan said in a low voice: "Sell the radish in the warehouse." ”
The spatial prompt sounded, "Are you sure you want to sell the items in the warehouse?" ”
Li Yan said in a deep voice: "Sure." ”
The spatial prompt came at one time: "I have sold the items in the warehouse, I got five hundred gold coins, and I have put them in the gold coin bag, there are no items in your warehouse, please farm." ”
Li Yan also has no way, he originally thought that he would not move the batch of radishes that are about to ripen in the field now, and when this batch of radishes is ripe, he wants to see if these radishes can be beaten, but now it seems that this test is still too early, what he needs now is gold coins and get something useful for himself, this test can only be done later.
Now Li Yan's worth has become, seven hundred gold coins, six small bags of forage seeds, two small bags of cabbage seeds, two small bags of wheat seeds, and two small bags of corn seeds.
After calculating what he had, Li Yan immediately said, "Reclaim the land." ”
The prompt sound of the space came at one time: "To reclaim new land, you need level three, two hundred gold coins, you have met the reclamation requirements, do you want to reclaim it now?" ”
Li Yan said in a deep voice: "Yes." With his voice, there was a fluctuation in the space, and the mist surrounding the land flickered, and after a flash, a small clearing appeared next to the original ten acres of land.
Li Yan looked at the newly reclaimed two acres of land, which was no different from the land at the beginning of the space, and Li Yan immediately said: "Plant corn in the ground." ”
Seed bags, shovels, and buckets immediately cooperated to start planting corn on those two acres of land, which was exactly Li Yan's plan.
Li Yan knows about corn, corn is different from radish, radish eats rhizomes, and corn eats seeds, corn is mature, that is, the seeds of corn are mature, even if the radish is left, corn can be, now he has reclaimed two acres of land, just used to plant corn, and when these corn mature, he got both corn seeds and corn stalks that can be used as firewood.
It takes about three kilograms of seeds to plant one acre of corn, and the yield of one acre of corn is about one ton, that is to say, if he plants two acres of corn, he can get at least 4,000 catties of corn, and if these corns can be used as seeds, then he can plant at least more than 600 acres of land, which is definitely a cost-effective business.
Now Li Yan only hopes that the corn in the space will not be like the corn on the earth before, the seeds he keeps are far better than the ones he bought, if the corn in the space can really be used as seeds, then it will solve his big problem, he can plant radishes in the space, turn radishes into money, and plant corn outside, so that there will be firewood and food, which can lay the foundation for his future development.
