Leisurely Daily [System]

Years later, Miao San and the others took a large amount of animal-repelling herbal medicine prepared by Jiang Fan and a small amount of Yunbaigu and detoxification fruit, and sailed into Shangjing.The little emperor wants to send people to sea to find a suitable place to plant rubber trees. Naturally, it is most suitable to be near the original place of rubber trees, so the people who lead the way are Miao San and others.

Because Miao San's main task is to go around to help Jiang Fan find plants, so he will take the fleet to the destination, and he will take some people to carry some rubber trees back to Dazhou to hand over to Jiang Fan before continuing the task.

To Jiang Fan's delight, the germination rate of the thousands of rubber tree seeds planted years ago reached 80.00%, much better than he expected.When transplanting, about [-] to [-] mature trees can be planted in one mu of land, and no more than [-] trees can be planted at most.Jiang Fan bought land for rubber trees in Yuncheng and Haicheng, each of which exceeded a thousand acres. Calculated for him alone, it would take [-] to [-] plants to plant it all.

At this time, these seedlings still occupy the land for fruit trees. Jiang Fan will move the seedlings to the planting site in Yuncheng before May. Fortunately, the waterways in all parts of the country are basically unblocked now. up.

Before leaving, Jiang Fan handed over the prepared records related to cotton planting to Gu Changqing, asking him to bring some cotton seeds to Changyuan, and start planting cotton in April.

Jiang Fan's eyes are almost blind to the planting of rubber trees, but he can learn from those overseas residents, but he can't speak the language. Jiang Fan's plan is that he will rely on the system to help keep records as before. On the other side, we should also send people to try to learn from the local residents.

Jiang Fan counted the sprouted seedlings while asking someone to dig them up. In the end, there were more than 4000 seedlings, which could cover more than 100 mu of land.These young seedlings, together with some saplings brought back by Miao San, and a dozen mature trees, whose roots were wrapped in thick soil with nutrients, were loaded into a carriage and transported to Yuncheng.

Yuncheng is like spring all year round, and the weather is relatively peaceful. The thousand acres of land that Jiang Fan bought here are all hilly land with slopes.

Rubber trees like high humidity and high temperature, but they are not resistant to flooding. If the terrain is flat or sunken, it is easy to accumulate water, which is not good for their growth.The land had been taken care of before, and after Miao San and the others came back, the people here received news that the planting pit was watered from time to time.As soon as the seedlings arrive, they are immediately planted in the pits and watered again.

Jiang Fan marked out some areas and put in nutrients for the colonization of other rubber trees in the future. At that time, he would no longer have to stare at this side.He also deliberately left a small piece out without adding nutrients, and ordered more than a dozen workers to carefully compare and take care of it. In the future, the rubber in other places will definitely be separated from the blessing of nutrients, so his own experience needs to be accumulated quickly.

Because the first batch of rubber trees in Dazhou is currently in Jiang Fan's place, and the rubber plantation under the name of the Little Emperor will also need such workers in the future, so in addition to the dozen of his own workers named by Jiang Fan, there are dozens of workers sent by the Little Emperor. Come and learn together.

After being transplanted into the pit, the dozen or so mature trees brought back by Miao San have nourishment and have adapted well. They have reached the age of cutting trees. Generally, they can start tapping rubber in mid-March, or April at the latest.The gum cannot be cut every day. Generally, a tree is cut no more than fifteen dollars a month. It is always necessary to give them time to recuperate, so that the economic life of the gum tree will be longer.

Tapping rubber is also a test of technology. If the cutting is not good, it is a waste of latex. The dozen or so mature trees can just be used to train rubber tapping workers.

In addition to the manpower in the rubber plantation, a rubber processing plant is still being built next to the rubber plantation. The latex collected in the future will be sent to the processing plant for processing as soon as possible.

Jiang Fan told the workers what he knew, and they had to figure out the rest by themselves.When he and Guan Xiujin returned to Lishan Village from Yuncheng, it really took more than a month to lie back and forth.

In the beginning of spring, the field gradually became busy. After Jiang Fan came back, the villagers had already started raising sweet potato seedlings.

Last year, almost every household in the village had experience in growing sweet potatoes, but it was the first time for them to raise seedlings. Jiang Fan went to Yuncheng, fearing that the time of his return would change. Explain something.

Because most of the land in Lishan Village is planted by short-term workers from other villages, last year there were not enough seedlings, but this year there are more seedlings. Jiang Fan told the villagers in advance that when sweet potatoes are planted in May, if there are more sweet potato seedlings in the village, he will send them to the village. For those outside village laborers who also want to plant.

No one in Lishan Village was unwilling, after all, when they planted the sweet potato seedlings, Jiang Fan didn't get any money.Especially now that their lives are better, in many respects, they are not as fussy as they used to be.

Then came the cotton planting.

Jiang Fan didn't dare to point out that some people planted it casually. After all, cotton is not as delicate as sweet potatoes.If there is a drought like previous years, or other planting disasters, and the harvest is lost, the cotton growers may cry to him.

Moreover, he grows it himself, which is supported by nutrients, so the yield per mu reaches a super high yield of [-] jin. If it is replaced by other people, even if there are fertile trees as fertilizer, the yield of [-] jin is considered good.

Jiang Fan explained all of these first. He provided the seeds for free, but whether to plant them or not depends on personal preference.After the cotton is harvested, the grower doesn't have to worry about the sale of the cotton. He will send someone to buy it at the door, and the price will be set first. At that time, it will be ten cents a catty. The ability to serve.

With Jiang Fan's attitude, there are indeed many people who hesitate, but the price Jiang Fan gave is not low in their opinion. Even if one mu produces one or two hundred catties, at least one to two taels of silver can be earned. Work harder. Take good care of it, the higher the yield, the better the price. It is more cost-effective than growing other grains.

The cotton seeds in Jiang Fan's hands now are cultivated by him after a few rounds of carefully selected seeds, not the original ones, so the quantity is limited. Although some people hesitate, others are eager to try, and in the end, Some people were a step too late and didn't get the seeds. This made the hesitant people pat their thighs and regret it. They decided to try to plant next year. After all, Mr. Jiang encouraged planting.

And those who ran ahead to grow cotton were mostly people from Lishan Village, or those who had seen the padded jacket award last year, or the workers in the weaving and dyeing workshop who had made cotton socks and padded jackets by themselves. They all knew How warm is that jacket.Even if you don’t use it to make money, it’s good to grow it to make clothes at home. The cost is more cost-effective than buying hemp clothes outside.

In mid-April, not much land was vacated in the village. Those who received the cotton seeds planted the cotton first, and then continued to vacate other fields. Those who transplanted rice seedlings, those who planted corn planted corn, and then planted corn in the corn field. Plant sweet potatoes inside.

Last year, Jiang Fan promoted Jingxincao. This thing is indeed a plant that is in danger of extinction at any time. Few of the scattered villagers have successfully planted it, and the ones that have been planted are half dead. I feel very exhausted.Seeing that June is approaching, and it is time for Jingxin Grass to be put into use, Jiang Fan has received letters from several companies, saying that this year or even the next few crops should only be in a state of groping for a loss, and if they continue to After accumulating a few batches of planting experience, the situation may get better.

But no one said to give up. After all, once the planting technique of Jingxin grass is familiar, it will be a matter of time to make money.And to master a planting technique that is more advanced than others, the status should be higher.Because this grass was discovered and promoted by Jiang Fan, they thought that Jiang Fan must know more about this aspect, so they wrote to communicate with Jiang Fan from time to time.

Jiang Fan can't guarantee that if there is no nourishment, he will be better than them in planting Jingxin grass, but he has learned a lot from everyone's exchange, and he can pass it on to his family in the future.Jiang Fan replied one by one with a few words of encouragement, telling them not to be discouraged, saying that this is actually beneficial, and if this herb is spread to other countries in the future, it will not be so easy for others to start, and Da Zhou has taken the lead.

Last year there was Yulongshuhua, Jiang Fan not only saved enough fruit for his family, but also saved a lot of fruit to sell in the shop slowly.Because the season is different, the price is naturally more expensive at that time, but there are still many people who buy it.

In the past few years, people who have been to Beijing know exactly when the fruits of Baizhen Pavilion will be sold, so when the regular customers found out that they can eat fresh fruits of Baizhen Pavilion in winter, they were very surprised and rushed to buy them. I couldn't help asking what preservation method Baizhen Pavilion used to keep the fruit fresh, or what special planting method was used to change the fruit's fruiting time.

Too many people asked, and in the end they all asked Gu Fangqiu. Gu Fangqiu could only talk about the existence of the jade cage tree.

So this year, before the yulong tree had buds, many people came to establish relationships with Jiang Fan, asking if they could buy a few yulong tree flowers from him.Last year, Jiang Fan harvested more than 2000 flowers from [-] jade cage trees, and the output this year is not bad. Since someone wanted to buy them, he took out a few hundred flowers and gave away some of them.

One step later, some merchants who were not close to Jiang Fan passed by the lotus pond empty-handed, looked at the big flower buds inside, and pointed to them and asked, "Are these flowers fresh? Sell them after they bloom." ?"

The villagers who were busy in the fields near the lotus pond heard it and said with a smile: "This flower is not fresh, so it should not be sold."

This floating flower, the villagers knew its benefits last year.

Because the production of floating flowers itself was not much last year, some were used to make umbrellas and raincoats, so the remaining quantity is not much.After the cold weather last year, Jiang Fan only selected the village head and Jiang Hai's family, who he knew well, to experiment with the effect of floating flowers in their vegetable fields.Jiang Fan poked some holes in the newly baked "greenhouse" to allow air to circulate, and the effect was really good. He bred a lot of vegetable seedlings in advance, and finally leaned on this "greenhouse". Last winter, the village chief and Jiang Hai The family is the only family in the village who can eat fresh green leafy vegetables in winter except Jiang's family.

But the people around are envious of the good relationship between their two families and the Jiang family.
