My little cutie [farming]

"The only food that can be grown in saline-alkali land is sorghum. This time I bought some good varieties of sorghum so I can try it first." Bai Su gently tapped on the palm of his hand with a folded fan, without looking specifically at Wu Liang's expression .

Looking at the foot of the mountain, it was only more than 500 meters away, those ordinary people with numb expressions but with a hint of hope.

"The situation in Tao Liangzhou is actually not suitable for growing food. Sorghum is only a part of the population. Next, I plan to plant a large amount of medicinal materials such as kenaf, sand date and wolfberry. As long as something can be grown, it can always be replaced by food."

"My lord, are these things really feasible?" Wu Liang felt enlightened, as if the confusion in his mind had been pushed away by a hand, and he saw a trace of the breeze and bright moon.

The farmers who have been here before are all good farmers.But after all, they were farmers hired from the south, and no one had said anything about sorghum.Wu Liang himself is considered a northerner, so he naturally knows what sorghum is.

But for such a long time before, he didn't associate Gao Liang with Tao Liangzhou at all.After all, isn't that a northern crop?And the few medicinal materials that Bai Su mentioned, in a place like Tao Liangzhou, where even food cannot be grown, can delicate medicinal materials be grown?

Bai Su didn't look at Wu Liang, but squinted slightly to look at the busy people in the distance. "The medicinal materials are not all delicate, such as kenaf safflower and wolfberry, which have strong drought resistance, wind and sand resistance, salt and alkali resistance, and barrenness resistance. They can be grown even in the desert, let alone Tao Liangzhou. It's always better than a desert."

The conversation between Bai Su and Wu Liang was more for the subordinates who came over.Most of these local people are more anxious to investigate Bai Su's ability.

Bai Su didn't want to find work for himself, if just saying a few more words could make things go more smoothly in the future, then why not.

"I will buy grain and rice from Wangjiang Mansion, and I will naturally sell the medicinal materials grown here, so you don't need to worry about so much, you just need to grow them."

"There is still half a month for the new grains from Wangjiang Mansion to come down, half a month is enough time for this batch of seeds to germinate. At that time, let's see if this plan is feasible, and if it is feasible, we can promote it throughout the state. "

Bai Suyun explained lightly, completely ignoring the crowd who were already excited and started to tremble.After taking another look at the situation down the mountain, he turned and returned to the manor.

"Housekeeper, as long as they are workers, they will be paid ten cents per person."

"Yes, sir."

The man who has been standing not far from the door and guarding respectfully, but who doesn't have much sense of presence, makes people notice it.Startled, Wu Liang quickly raised his head to look at the person at the door.

When he met the eyes of the 'housekeeper', the corners of his mouth twitched uncontrollably for a moment.

When did the hidden guards of the imperial city become so worthless?Double Shadow, you are one of the top ten masters of the dark guards anyway, you stopped doing those stealthy things and came to be a housekeeper for others.

The ghost who didn't even change his name glanced at that big fool Wu Liang without any fluctuations, raised his hand and waved the two spirited servants and trotted down the mountain.

When he saw the two servants, Wu Liang's eyes widened even further.Although he was not a well-known secret guard in the platoon, but the familiar aura in the gestures of his hands and feet, he also knew that they were all from the training camp.

Wu Liang raised his head to look at Bai Su's back, and felt that this man was very unfathomable for the first time.

Bai Su returned to the manor, and as soon as he walked to the inner courtyard, he saw Shi Changpu, who was still confused, coming out of the bedroom.Now they have someone to take care of their grooming, and they just need to sit there and wait when they get up.

Looking at Shi Changpu's dazed expression, he knew that he hadn't fully woken up yet.

The smile on Bai Su's face became more and more real, as soon as he approached Shi Changpu, he opened his arms and walked forward a few steps, throwing himself into Bai Su's arms like a child and hugging Bai Su's waist.

"Why don't you sleep for a while?"

"The best part of the day is the morning, and I can't waste my good time in bed."

"puff!"

Bai Su couldn't hold back his chuckle, Shi Changpu raised his head sadly. "And didn't someone say it, why sleep for a long time when you are alive, you will sleep for a long time after death. I will have time to sleep in the future, so I can't waste time now."

"..." Bai Su's smile froze on his face, and he touched his nose in embarrassment. "Baby, most of what men say on the bed is unbelievable..."

Shi Changpu mournfully looked at Bai Su who remained silent, and Bai Su changed his style of painting in a jerk. "Except that it's absolutely true that I love you."

"..." Shi Changpu blushed, and lightly tapped Bai Su's shoulder angrily. "It's early in the morning, be more reserved."

After being teased by Bai Su, Shi Changpu was completely awake.The two held hands and walked around the yard first, completely refreshed.Then I went to the outer study, which was already full of books and homework.

The most important thing is that in that spacious room, a whole wall of the medicine cabinet is built exactly like the medicine cabinet of the pharmacy, and each small drawer is also filled with the medicinal materials on their respective labels.

Bai Su, who is finally 'free' now, can finally do as he pleases in pharmacy.

Eleuthero jujube is a deciduous tree plant, and when it grows up, it looks like a tree.So the sandy dates seeds brought back were planted around the farmland and not directly planted in the ground.

Originally, according to the normal treatment method, the seeds of Eleuthero jujube should be treated well in winter to ensure planting in spring.But Bai Su's situation is special here. It is not easy to ask someone to bring the seeds back from the north, so the process is naturally 'simplified'.

Waiting until next year, when this year's sandy jujube trees grow well, they can be planted by inserting thousands, which will be more convenient at that time.

Shi Changpu sat on one side of the desk and began to study, while Bai Su sat on the other side of the desk and drew sketches.Around the [-] mu of land planted sand dates, goji berries and kenaf can be planted in the ground.

Kenaf and wolfberry are considered medicinal materials, so they will be easy to deal with when the time comes.Red dates are mostly used for breeding in later generations, and they are good ingredients for raising sheep.But in Taoliangzhou today, it can also be used as grain at this stage.

When the jujubes are fully ripe and dried, the rolled jujube noodles can also be used as food to satisfy the hunger and satiety.This year, we will try our best to improve the food problem of Taoliangzhou people, and if possible next year, we can promote the breeding industry.

Next year's Juren Examination will be in July, and there are still fourteen months to go.In order to maximize work efficiency, the planted things must not only be practical, but also shorten the time.

If the sand dates are planted in spring, they will not be harvested until autumn at least.The six months in the middle cannot be shortened too exaggeratedly, so it can be temporarily abandoned.

The melon seeds produced by sunflowers can be regarded as economic crops. The growth cycle is generally 85 to 120 days or more. The seeds are "good varieties" that I found myself, and I plant them in the open space outside the house to facilitate my movement.

It is not too much to shorten the time to about eighty days.After all, there is no need to wait for ripeness, and the flowering stage is considered a success.So this time can be shortened a bit more, and the time for success can be placed in two months or about [-] days.

Anyway, as long as it blooms.

The goji berries are also easy to handle. Now only a small bag is grown in the field, which is brought back by Baisu to test whether it can germinate.After going to Suzhou for another five days to confirm that it can germinate, I can buy mature trees that are more than four to six years old, and they can produce fruit in the same year. This is a good thing that can be harvested year after year after planting.

It is not easy to intervene in the growth cycle of kenaf. After all, it is something that is planted in front of people from the seed, and there is basically no way to change it in three to four months.

But after such a careful calculation, it is very easy to grow things on the saline-alkali land in Taoliangzhou.Basically, they are things that can be harvested for a long time if they are planted. Kenaf is a bit exaggerated, and it can even be harvested three times a year.

After counting economic crops, we must also think about the vegetation that improves the environment.Tao Liangzhou is a good coastal southern city, but it is quite possible to be turned into a desert by the saline-alkali environment.

White willow, poplar, Populus euphratica, white elm and ash can be grown even in the desert, so there is no problem in Taoliangzhou.

It's just that these things don't have any economic benefits, and people in Tao Liangzhou didn't pay much attention to these unprofitable things before they came here.

There are still too few things that can see benefits quickly.There are still many things that can be planted in coastal areas, but that will have to wait until the salinity in the soil is almost consumed.

Bai Su put the things he had organized on the table, and when it was almost noon, he took Shi Changpu, who had already learned so much, to have lunch.

After a short rest after dinner, the two went out with a light white paper umbrella.We have already arrived at the beach, and it would be a waste if we don't go to appreciate it.

Most of Taoliangzhou’s coastline is full of hidden reefs, and it is not possible to build ports to stop ships. Occasionally, there are a few sections without hidden reefs that are located at the corners of cliffs and the like.

The sea-view house owned by Bai Su, viewed from above, can be regarded as precipitous standing on a cliff.In fact, there is a path leading to the sea from the right side of the villa. It is a relatively gentle path to the end, and you can see a gentle beach when you go around a corner.

The fine white gravel is spread flat on the ground, which makes people want to take off their shoes and step on it.The length of this beach is about 100 meters, which is considered a small private space.

Bai Su and Shi Changpu held hands and stood on the beach.The sea breeze, which was mostly blocked by the cliff, has become gentle when it comes to the front. The two of them squinted slightly and looked at the magnificent sea ahead, and they couldn't help but fell into deep thought.

The actions on land are restricted, so what about the actions in the sea?

Looking at the vast and boundless sea, Bai Su narrowed his eyes slightly again.
