44. Start farming

The most important thing in famine is to solve the problem of food, Mu Zixiao needs people to cultivate and also need fields.

A load of grain is equal to 100 catties, giving an adult 30 catties of rations a month, saving some food to live a family.

1,000 quintals of grain is 100,000 catties, and it stands to reason that all the people in Qing'an City can survive the cold winter, but to help refugees, even if they are young and middle-aged, they can only help 4,000 people at most a month.

Of course, it is impossible for all the 1,000 loads of grain to be given to the young and middle-aged people who are working, at least more than half of the original relief must be maintained, and allocated to the old, weak, sick and disabled, then this group of troops can pull out 2,000 people, even if it is a gain.

She can use the improved seeds of the base, supplemented by Zijin Xiao catalysis, according to the data reported by micrograms, the current improved varieties in the current land weather environment can not reach the level of harvest, rice, wheat, corn per mu of land can reach the maximum yield of 400 catties, which is already astronomical for most farmers, but time waits for no one, and their growth cycle can not solve the urgent need at this time.

The soybeans they developed can improve the spiritual power of the land, and the yield per mu can reach up to 400 catties, but the production cycle of soybeans is as high as 90 days, and even the weather data near Qing'an City may be extended to 110 days.

At present, there is no time to plant these varieties, and even Zijin Xiao cannot solve this large-scale catalysis and shortening.

Mu Zixiao found that things went around and around, and finally returned to potatoes.

Potato seeds have been developed and have been planted and produced in the Central Plains. Although this variety is of no use for spiritual energy cultivation in the cultivation world of the Zhongtian Continent, it is just that mortal species can be applied to the cultivation of spiritual soil in the immortal cultivation realm.

But the most important thing for people is to eat enough and not starve to death.

At this time, as long as you can live, you don't care if it is the best species.

The potato production cycle is calculated based on the production data of the fields around Qing'an City, and with the blessing of Zijin Xiao, it can be shortened to 30 days, and the yield per mu can be conservatively estimated to reach 3,000 catties.

As long as she survives the first month, she will be able to have 10,000 loads of food, and the refugees will be guaranteed to starve to death this winter, and they will be able to move later!

But potatoes can't be eaten too much, and if everyone survives on potatoes, there will inevitably be gas, indigestion and nutritional problems, and some fields will have to be left to grow beans.

It is not only prepared for the later stage of land stubble, but also as the main force to nourish the aura of the land and help the planting of subsequent spiritual food.

With beans, sprouts take six or seven days, which is the fastest vegetable you can get.

Mu Zixiao secretly rejoiced that the weather was still in autumn, although the data showed that the weather in Xingling Prefecture was colder than in previous years, but everything was in time, and it was still possible to prepare for the real winter.

Mu Zixiao wrote the plan in her hand into a booklet, she didn't need to write these, but for the sake of future generations, she needed to record everything.

took the time to contact Wei Ke about the talents and seeds that he would prepare tomorrow, and Mu Zixiao got good news from Ying Luan.

There are a lot of people who have signed up today, and I rudely estimated that there were about 1,000 people.

Some people are scrambling, while others are cautious and still waiting and seeing.

Nie Daiyu also got a thousand loads of grain from Tan Jin, but her face was not good when she returned, and she was also subjected to a lot of trouble.

However, Mu Zixiao can also understand, after all, this thousand loads of grain alone can be regarded as the net worth of the entire Xingling Prefecture at the bottom of the box, and it is also the foundation of Tan Jin'an's life, the biggest card in his hand, if it were not for his hard-won little son, I am afraid that the knife holder on the neck would not be able to spit out so much food.

Mu Zixiao just silently poured a cup of tea for her, and then watched her pack up her things with full blood and come back to life, and arrange to settle in the City Lord's Mansion tomorrow.

Mu Zixiao is not worried about the land, because the people of the Zhongtian Continent are different from the mortals of the Central Plains Continent, they do not like farming, and they do not have much pursuit of land, after all, in the Immortal Cultivation Realm, except for the spiritual veins and spirit stones and the heavenly spirit and earth treasures that make those "superior people" look at them, these lands with almost no spiritual power, they disdain to contaminate.

Only farmers or merchants who have no hope of cultivating immortals will farm.

Mu Zixiao calculated that 100 acres is a borderless land that is easy to cultivate, and if she can feed more people, she is confident that Qing'an City will be fertile land within a radius of thousands of miles.

Tan Jin, Qi Yan, and Kang Ye, with the plan that they could do and keep the foundation of the Tang family's forces running, carried out in an orderly manner, and when her people came, they began to start from scratch and make the refugees outside the city come alive.
