I am the God of War Lu Bu

Chapter 256 Potato General Zhang Liao
Chapter 256 Potato General Zhang Liao
Lu Bu and Jia Xu Chen Gong, the three of them were having a potato feast.

While exchanging the sowing of potatoes and sweet potatoes.

Lu Bu was a little worried about whether he could plant potatoes and sweet potatoes when winter came.Xiliang is not bad for having large land and few people, but the cultivated fields are now all cultivated by people.

In the first year, Lu Bu definitely wouldn't make a big push to let the people of Xiliang go to eat sweet potatoes.

Lu Bu's first year idea was to breed.

Now Lu Bu is more worried about whether Xiliang can free up land for him to plant these potatoes in a short time.

"Wenhe Gongtai, how much land can be vacated under Xiliang now?" So Lu Bu told Jia Xu and Chen Gong about this confusion.

Jia Xu thought for a while and asked, "My lord, how much arable land does it take to plant sweet potatoes? I have to work it out with Gongtai."

In this regard.

Chen Gong nodded, it was hard to say how much he could free up for a while.

"Probably? Let me think about it." Lu Bu combined the potato planting experience of later generations with the potato information provided by the system.

"I'm going to settle this."

"Come on, bring me a pen and paper."

Jia Xu and Chen Gong didn't bother seeing Lu Bu thinking hard.

Drinking tea quietly, waiting for Lu Bu to calculate.

"The sweet potatoes I found in Bukadaban Peak are hardy, but it takes a little time for the seeds to germinate."

"If it's handled well."

"It is not a problem for a thousand catties of potatoes to germinate more than 900 catties."

"The net weight of potato seeds is 90.00 catties, and the germination rate is [-]%. About [-] catties." Lu Bu recorded this data on the paper.

"Let's not calculate the fertile soil of the field for now, and the prefecture-level land is the standard."

In ancient land division, the land grades were divided based on high-quality water droplets and soil fertility.

Heaven, time, earth, benefit, people, and harmony are the six middle classes.

Heaven is naturally the best.

The prefecture level can't be said to be the best, but it can be regarded as medium, so Lu Bu used it as a measure.

"One mu of land, if planted in autumn, in order to ensure the survival rate, that one mu of land needs at least [-] catties."

"A little more, it will cost nine hundred catties."

"Go to the middle value, then count him as seven hundred catties." Lu Bu wrote down this key data, and then calculated the potatoes he owns now.

"Then want to fully farm the sweet potatoes I brought back."

"More than 90 catties of seeds need about [-] mu." After calculating the data needed for potatoes, Lu Bu handed over the paper to Jia Xu.

"Is it [-] mu?"

"Yes," Lu Bu nodded, "If you add sweet potatoes and corn, it's conservatively estimated that the land is about [-] mu."

"Two thousand acres is not bad, it's easy to free up." Jia Xu couldn't help sighing when he saw the data written by Lu Bu: "I didn't expect that the master is also proficient in farming, and all the precautions are clearly written."

On the paper, Lu Bu not only wrote the data needed for potato cultivation.

It also wrote about various matters that need to be faced in planting potatoes, which can be regarded as some tips.

"If only two thousand mu is needed, the arable land in each county is quite sufficient." Seeing that Lu Bu didn't need much arable land, Chen Gong breathed a sigh of relief.

Lu Bu laughed.

He said to Chen Gong: "This is just a conservative estimate. If the situation of the potatoes and sweet potatoes planted this year is good, another batch can be planted next year."

"The public platform."

"Think about it, when the common people know that there is a crop with a yield of tens of thousands of catties per mu, do you think they will grow it?"

"My million seeds, I estimate that in the coming year, I can harvest at least 20 stones!"

"20 million stone?"

"My God!" Chen Gong was taken aback, and picked up a pen and paper to calculate.

He was also stunned when he came up with his own calculation.

"It's really 20 shi! Tens of millions of jins of grain... I can't imagine..." Even Jia Xu couldn't help swallowing, looked at Lu Bu and said, "But my lord, this should be Jianzi. Let's put it on the data... otherwise."

Lu Bu nodded: "It is indeed an ideal state that yields ten thousand catties per mu."

"But I believe that it is not difficult to produce ten thousand catties per mu." Regarding this data, Lu Bu can only say.

Just more or less.

……

For field observation, after eating.

Lu Bu, Jia Xu, Chen Gong and the others went to the warehouse to look at the potatoes.

Sifting the fields.

Finally, after discussing with Jia Xu and Chen Gong, Chen Gong proposed to plant potatoes, sweet potatoes and corn in the fertile fields around Anding County, Beidi County.

However, Jia Xu pointed out that the first round of breeding needs to be supervised by someone throughout the process.

In addition, farmers engaged in farming and mulberry also need to be selected.

"Although we have a lot of Qianghu under our command now, we definitely can't let Qianghu cultivate potatoes and sweet potatoes."

"Maybe something went wrong."

"Qianghu is a small matter, but if it delays the planting of potatoes and sweet potatoes, it will be a big matter." Jia Xu was a little worried, and Lu Bu agreed with this.

Lu Bu also said: "We definitely can't hand it over to the Qiang Hu, we still have to be of our own race."

"My idea is to gather a group of people and build a farm dedicated to managing potatoes and sweet potatoes."

"It's also convenient for us to manage." Lu Bu proposed large-scale farm management and proposed sending troops for protection.

That's it.

Both Jia Xu and Chen Gong had no objections.

After all, this is related to the cultivation of potatoes and sweet potatoes, and no one dares to delay this matter.

"If it's manpower, it's not a problem."

"There are a group of skilled old farmers in Anding, Northland." When it came to the farmers who need to plant, Chen Gong patted his shoulder to assure that there would be no problem.

It took some work.

Chen Gong specially took Lu Bu Jia Xu to the home of the candidate he was looking for.

"These old farmers are all skilled in farming and mulberry fields for at least ten people. There will never be any problems. The hands and feet of all the workers are clean, honest and honest."

This made Lu Bu and Jia Xu very satisfied, and finally settled on the manpower issue.

The question of sending people to garrison has to be arranged by Lu Bu.

"Why don't we leave it to General Tudou and General Sweet Potato." Lu Bu teased with a smile. He thought it would be good to hand it over to Zhang Liao and Ma Chao.

After all, they were the ones who found these two crops.

Even Su Lie is now stationed at the crying Buka Daban Peak, guarding the first-generation potato, sweet potato and corn seeds.

Let Zhang Liao, Ma Chao, and the others be stationed near the farm, and they can often be trained.

In your free time, you can help with farming, why not train while farming!
"Haha! General Potato!"

"Haha! General Sweet Potato!"

As soon as Zhang Liao and Ma Chao came, they were confused by the names of Lu Bu, Jia Xu and Chen Gong.

Zhang Liao and the others looked at Lu Bu who was laughing, and immediately understood: "Your Majesty, why did you give me a nickname?"

"That's not what I said."

"Wen and Jia Xu said it. If you want to blame it, blame him." Lu Bu looked at Jia Xu with a smile, and directly blamed him.

"My lord, it was obviously you who made fun of it first." Jia Xu looked at Zhang Liao slightly apologetically and said, "But General Tudou...it really fits your image."
