Chapter 124 Planting Areas

If you want to ask the survivors of Lishan Base what they are most concerned about now, it is undoubtedly the recruitment in the city center.

In order to get a golden job and become a civil servant in Lishan Base, every survivor tried their best. Some used honey traps, some bribed, some flattered, and some cried, made trouble, and hanged themselves, just to become a member of the newly established department. a member of.

Now the center of the city is full of people, and the long queue of recruitment teams has been discharged from the center of the city. The reason is that besides the large number of people, many people were eliminated from this department and switched to another department to try, which caused the road in the center of the city to be blocked for a while. impassable.

The entire recruitment event was held for three days, and all departments had recruited enough personnel. Jardin Du Yuyan and the others could also breathe a sigh of relief. The three consecutive days of recruitment had exhausted them.

Among the three departments, the production department mainly recruits agricultural and breeding construction and planning talents, the commercial department recruits some managers and white-collar workers, and the logistics department recruits some accounting and financial personnel. The three departments have been fully recruited.

Survivors who successfully applied for the job were naturally delighted, and those who failed could only be dejected. However, on the last day of the recruitment, there was new news from the city lord's mansion that the base will need some farmers and breeders to help the base grow and breed for a while. .

This time more people are needed, and the preliminary statistics show that there are about 1000 people. However, these people do not have much food every day, only two taels of sweet potatoes, and there is no supply of salt and cooking oil.

They are planned to be under the name of the production department, not regular employees but temporary workers, or long-term workers, and Wang Jin is a big landlord.

Although the salary is much worse than that of the staff in the department, it is still much better than planing food in the wild. Survivors still flock to this job.

Planting and breeding does not require any knowledge, as long as you know how to farm and raise livestock, it is not difficult.

Therefore, the conditions for finding people are much looser. Basically, those who have experience in planting and breeding can pass. Therefore, although the number of people recruited is large, it takes less than half a day to recruit all of them, and there are 1000 people.

When all the recruitment is over, there are still a large number of survivors who refuse to leave, hoping that the City Lord's Mansion will continue to recruit, but this is impossible.

"Brother Wang! This is where I plan to plant sweet potatoes."

At this time, outside the Lishan base, after finishing the recruitment activities, Wang Jin accompanied Du Yuyan and several staff members from their production department to a large plain a few kilometers away from the base.

"Tell me the reason!" Wang Jin reached out and grabbed a handful of soil, and found that the soil here was really fertile, and it was all darker black soil.

Du Yuyan winked at Zhang Zhouming who was on the side. He decided on this planting area. At the beginning, Du Yuyan saw that he said it clearly and logically, and after asking a few professionals, he agreed with him. Put it here.

Now facing Wang Jin's inquiry, Zhang Zhouming naturally had to explain. He himself was only half-experienced in planting, so he could explain clearly.

Looking at the young man in front of him, Zhang Zhouming couldn't think of the person in charge of the Lishan Base, but the facts cannot be denied. Now that he is begging for food under his hands, he naturally has to behave well.

He won this opportunity with great difficulty. He was not the only one who made the suggestion at the beginning, and some people also proposed to establish a planting area here.

But Zhang Zhouming only got this opportunity after careful investigation, eating and living on the plain for three days, and summarizing a detailed investigation report.

“First of all, this plain is large enough. After measurement, this plain has about 5800 acres of land. There are no sloping gravels on the plain, which is suitable for field planting and is conducive to future planting management and irrigation.

Moreover, this plain is fertile in geology and close to the river, which can guarantee the growth demand of sweet potatoes.We have also considered the issue of defense, because this is a plain with no shelter around it, which can ensure that we can observe the attack of mutant beasts and corpse groups as soon as possible, so that mutant beasts cannot make sneak attacks and effectively protect our farmers.

Near this plain, we can dig fishponds and build a water conservancy system. While using water to irrigate plants, we can also use water to raise fish. Besides, you can see, outside the plain, there are weeds growing all around, which can provide us with Our farms can be established near here, and in the future the manure from the livestock can be used to fertilize the fields to increase the production of sweet potatoes. "

Zhang Zhouming talked eloquently and explained the advantages of choosing to plant here. Everyone nodded, thinking that what he said was reasonable. This plain seemed to be really suitable for planting.

"How is the yield of this land!" Wang Jin asked what he was most concerned about, and the others did the same, all looking at Zhang Zhouming.

Zhang Zhouming had never been so nervous before. The young man in front of him could decide his life and death with a single word. If he was not satisfied with his answer, it is not impossible to move his head.

"Because sweet potatoes are a crop with high yields, if there is enough fertilizer, I am sure to increase the yield per mu to more than 4500 kilograms. But now the base has no fertilizer, so we can only rely on sweet potatoes to grow naturally. We plan to collect human feces and animal waste from the base The manure is used as fertilizer and also directs water to the fish ponds, which are irrigated using seamless channels.

In addition to the fertility of the plain itself, the production capacity of sweet potatoes is about 2000 kilograms per mu.This plain covers 5800 mu and can produce 11600 tons of sweet potatoes in total. The sweet potato planting period is 4 months, and can be planted twice a year. On average, 1900 tons of sweet potatoes can be provided to the base every month. "

Zhang Zhouming put all his attention into it, and said meticulously, for fear of provoking Wang Jin's head to the ground. After all, the yield is not very ideal, and it is too different from the yield of a fertile mu.

"The yield per mu is 2000 mu, and 1900 tons of sweet potatoes are provided to the base every month. Can't it be increased?"

Wang Jin said a little dissatisfied. In the last days, no one thinks that they have too much food. Although the monthly income of 1900 tons of sweet potatoes can basically meet the needs of the base, considering the future population increase and his own plan to search for survivors, the food Not enough to consume.

"I'm sorry, Lord City Master, this is already the best output I can produce. Without chemical fertilizers, I really can't produce more. There is no land that is more suitable for planting sweet potatoes near the base. There is no river to meet the irrigation requirements, and small-scale planting is scattered. The yield is too small and we have to dig and build canals. The loss outweighs the gain. This plain is the most suitable place for us to plant. In addition, there are not enough seeds, and we are temporarily unable to increase the production of sweet potatoes.”

Zhang Zhouming heard the dissatisfaction in Wang Jin's words, his heart skipped a beat, and the clothes behind him were soaked in cold sweat, and he quickly explained to himself, saying that it wasn't because he was ignorant, and he couldn't do anything without fertilizer.
