Chapter 79 Improving the Land
Guan Liang City.

Since Chen Yi sent away several other generals last time, he has been busy with the matter of seeds.

You have already gathered the food and grass, and you can guarantee the border tie this year, food and clothing, and Chen Yi's affairs here are similar.

However, the system has not heard the notification sound about the completion of the task for a long time.

Chen Yi guessed that it had to do with the seeds he bought. Since he had spent money to buy them, he had to plant them in the ground.

And judging from the current situation of Dawu Kingdom, there is enough food and grass for the border this year, but what about next year?

Although Chen Yi raised a lot more food and grass this time than before, he could just eat it until next spring, and after that, he would need money from the treasury again.

Chen Yi had absolutely no confidence that Crying could be able to support such a heavy burden.

Therefore, Chen Yi is considering making the border area rich enough to produce part of the grain and grass.

In this way, even if the court does not give money, it can guarantee the food and clothing of the soldiers, and they will not starve to death.

Chen Yi has been walking around for the past two days to check the situation of the land. It has to be said that the natural resources here are indeed quite bad, with yellow sand all over the sky, and the land is seriously short of water.

The same goes for Luxi, but relatively speaking, Longxi has abundant groundwater, so the loose soil is only on the surface.

But it was completely different here on the border. Chen Yi had people dig down for a long time. It was still sandy soil, and there were very few crops suitable for farming.

This is also where Chen Yi has a headache now.

The seeds that Chen Yi brings now are those that have a relatively high survival rate and can withstand severe weather. However, there is still some gap between the cold and drought resistance of later generations.

Chen Yi has been thinking about whether to make a new hybrid with a relatively high stock rate for the past two days.

The idea is beautiful, but the technology does not support it. You know, if you really want to do this experiment, it will take two or three years, and you will not see the effect at all.

And the most important thing right now is to be able to plant the seeds.

It is a question of whether these pictures of the border can grow after sitting down, and how can they be hybridized to improve their genes and cultivate new varieties.

But now there is a direction.

On this day, Chen Yi found General Zhang. General Zhang is now the deputy general of Guan Liangcheng. Some time ago, he went to the front with General Zhao and fought a beautiful victory.

It is currently being repaired in Guanliang City, and will go to the front line after a while.

As a civil servant, it was safer for Chen Yi to stay in the back of the city, and Chen Yi didn't even think about bragging about going to the front line. After all, professional people have to do professional things.

Although Chen Yi said that he didn't understand the war, but after all, he didn't know anything in the eyes of others, so why bother to show off his skills and annoy others.

"Ping An, long time no see, I heard that we won the battle this time, congratulations!"

General Zhang looked up and saw that it was Chen Yi, and immediately stood up excitedly: "Zishang, you are here, sit down quickly, it is thanks to you, what do you call eating enough, you will naturally have strength, and the food behind you is so big Many, and very emboldened."

Chen Yi smiled and said the purpose of his visit this time.

"That's good! I'm here this time to tell you something."

General Zhao nodded with a smile, and asked directly: "What's the matter, as long as you can help."

Chen Yi also spoke bluntly.

"I was wondering if I could give me a piece of land, right here on the edge of the border, you know I have brought so many seeds, if I don't use them, it would be a waste, so I want to lend me some soldiers use."

General Zhang understood as soon as he heard it.

He bowed his head and pondered for a while, then raised his head and said.

"It's just that I really need to ask General Zhao. This soldier is easy, but this place needs his approval."

Chen Yi expressed his understanding: "I know, don't worry, I didn't plant this land just for fun, I plan to store food for you in the future, so you are more familiar with this place, which piece of land is better, I will let you know Yours."

General Zhang was a little surprised, he didn't expect Chen Yi to plan like this.

So he took Chen Yi directly to find General Zhao. After hearing what Chen Yi said, General Zhao fell into deep thought.

After a while, he said hesitantly.

"Chen Shilang, to be honest, when I looked at the seeds you brought over, I actually didn't agree in my heart. I didn't think about this public matter before, but you have also seen that the land here is not Not suitable for work, every time it is in vain."

General Zhao had a trace of melancholy and helplessness on his face.

"So now I've given up too. With this skill, it's better to train soldiers. This land is really not suitable for farming, so I advise Chen Shilang to forget it."

Chen Yi naturally knew that this land was indeed impossible, but he was only following the court's essentials. This was a temporary solution, not the root cause. Once the court ran out of food and supplies, it would be handing over his fate to others and strangling his fate. throat.

If you speak well, you will receive and accept something outside.

The battlefield is changing rapidly, and who knows what emergencies will happen, although it is the best guarantee to stay on the front line and leave yourself a way out.

The land that Chen Yi planned to plant was also intended to leave a way out for the soldiers on the frontier.

However, Chen Yi understood General Zhao's kindness.

"Zhao Xiangjun, don't worry, I am confident that I can cultivate this piece of land well, and I also have a way to change the soil, as long as you give me a piece of land, it's fine even if you fail, anyway, these things are stored here."

General Zhao thought about it, but it was true. He heard about this civil servant, and all of them were extremely stubborn. If Chen Yi was not allowed to try it, he probably would not let it go.

Anyway, there is enough food now. If Chen Yi wants to try, let him try. If he fails, he will give up and save himself no matter how much persuasion.

Thinking of this, General Zhao nodded.

"Okay, then I will arrange it and choose a slightly better place for you."

Chen Yi thanked General Zhao with a smile, and came out with Zhang Jun.

So it is better to pick some good places, but there are basically no good places here, I can only say that there are more places than mine, and there is less wind and sand.

Zhang Xiangjun took Chen Yi to the land Zhao Xiangjun mentioned.

This place is located on the mountain on the side of Guanliang City. It is said to be a mountain, but it is actually a small slope, and this land is on the concave side of this slope, so the wind and sand can be relatively small.

Chen Yi came here to take a look at the geographical location. It was not bad, and even if the Xuanluo Kingdom attacked, he would not attack from here.

Chen Yi nodded with satisfaction.
