Husband and wife are hot on the kang

Shi Hongda didn't delay land reclamation just because his stepmother came to visit him. It was already April, and the seeds were about to sow, and land reclamation was completed soon.

Not two days after the land reclamation, a relatively heavy spring rain fell in time. It is said that spring rain is as expensive as oil, especially in the Northeast.

Yu Liangji has already started to choose seeds at home, and he has to plant seeds quickly when the spring rains have just started and the ground is still not short of water.

Corn must be planted. It has a high yield and is resistant to hunger. It is the staple food of many people, but it cannot be used in wasteland.

According to the practice of the imperial court, the wasteland is not taxed for the first three years, half of the tax is collected after three years, and the full tax is collected after five years. The land under his name plus the wasteland will also be enough for [-] acres, which is just tax-free .

Shi Hongda's [-] acres are all wasteland, which happens to be tax-free.

The soil in the northeast is loose but fertile, suitable for growing peanuts.

Peanut, also known as longevity fruit, has high nutritional value, and peanut seedlings do not need to be carefully served, and peanut oil is also good, and peanut oil is also very practical.

There are many benefits, so Yu Liangji decided to plant peanuts for one year first. Anyway, he doesn't need to pay taxes, and he can grow anything.

Even if you can't sell it, you can digest it at home. In fact, peanuts can be used in many places, whether it is a large restaurant or a small restaurant, a teahouse, a theater and the like, it is indispensable. In the usual small stalls, it is also A plate of fried peanuts, the best and easiest appetizer.

Taking a step back, isn’t it still possible to extract oil?It is not easy for farmers to eat oil. Except for animal fat, they can only supplement it with vegetable oil.

Therefore, peanuts should be a crop that is not worried about selling.

Yu Liangji decided to plant peanuts in that area!

Shi Hongda has no objection, he can plant whatever he wants, they have plenty of time and energy.

Yu Liangji picked a lot of corn seeds. There is no urea in this era, so it doesn't matter. Isn't there urine?He saved a little boy's urine from the baby, and prepared a lot of boiled water to soak the seeds.

This gives the seeds strength to ensure healthy germination and emerge from the soil.

To put it bluntly, it means a high germination rate and a high growth rate.

In addition to corn and peanuts, millet is also planted in his ten acres of land. Yu Liangji found that the millet here is also good. You have to bring rice to the north to exchange for millet.

It is said that the millet in the north is better than that in the south.

Yu Liangji has been breeding at home for about ten days. When the corn seeds germinate, he will hand them over to Shi Hongda to plant them. Anyway, he has a car and a plow, so there is no need to worry about him.

Shi Hongda dug small pits along the rows of ridges, and then put base fertilizer in each pit. The base fertilizer is standard farmyard manure, except that it is dirty and smells bad. This is the best fertilizer.

Without it, although the crop will grow, it will definitely not grow as big. Each corn cob grows more than one centimeter, and there will be several more grains, and more grain will be planted per mu of land.

If you don't put farmyard manure, what will you put in?This is in ancient times, where to find fertilizer?

After putting the base fertilizer, sow the germinated corn seeds into each pit. In order to ensure the germination rate, it is best to put three or four seeds in each pit, otherwise, if the seed gets moldy or is infested with insects After eating, it will be troublesome to plant again. After everything is put away, the hole is filled with a hoe. You don’t need to fill too much soil, just an appropriate amount.

Everything is done manually, there is no machinery at all.

Fortunately, their family has a plow stick that is smaller than Juren’s. After unloading the plow, there is only the part that is gathered at the back, which can be directly put on the ridge. There is no need to manually cover the seeds with soil, which saves a lot of time.
