This land was contracted by me [farming]

[Ah ah ah!Brother Ran!Brother, I'm out!I haven't seen so many energy points in a long time! 】【Brother Ran is amazing!Complete two tasks at once! More than 1000 energy points, we can buy seeds in the mall! 】000?This shit has finally come to an end of dormancy!

Zhao Keran was full of resentment, "It's nice of you, save electricity and go to sleep, I'm working hard to earn energy points, won't your code hurt?"

000 knew he was in the wrong, and quickly apologized, opening the system mall while apologizing, [Brother Ran, we are not angry.It's not worth it to hurt your body!Look, we got energy points, what can't we buy in the mall?Take a look at what you want to buy, let's buy it if you like it! 】Zhao Keran calmed down for a while. It happened that he needed a lot of seeds, so buying seeds was the most important thing.

Three seconds later, Zhao Keran wore a pain mask, "That's what you said, what do you want to buy?"

In the system mall, there is only one sweet potato seedling shining beautifully by itself.

000 was so guilty that he didn't dare to speak loudly, and stammered his explanation, [That... I forgot... The Plane Mall is automatically opened... Half of the energy points are allocated there. ] "Oh." Zhao Keran replied indifferently, "Then can I do business through the Plane Mall?"

[I haven't connected to the plane yet, I have to wait...]

"That's not what you said at the beginning. You said you'd let me buy it when it's turned on." Zhao Keran ruthlessly complained, "What can you do, sleep No.1."

000: I am too difficult...

Huo Yuan sat not far away, looking at his teacher's eldest son, Zhao Keran, who was also considered as his half-junior brother, playing with his face.

How could this little junior be surprised, angry, happy, and indifferent when facing the air.

After quarreling with 000, Zhao Keran found Fang Zhongyuan. There are many unowned fertile fields in Hedong Village. "Has the number of land been determined?"

"I'm sure. Not much, only sixty acres."

Zhao Keran nodded, and asked again: "Have the household registrations of the refugees been dropped?"

"It's settled, but these lands can't be distributed to them. In the future, they need to solve their own problems to make a living."

These lands belong to the people of Hedong Village who died before.The refugees have just settled down, so it is impossible to get land, let alone high-quality fertile land.

"We can organize them to open up wasteland. This year we will provide grain seeds. In addition to the taxes paid during the autumn harvest, other grains can be kept for ourselves. If we want to cultivate the land next year, we need to give some share to the yamen for rent.

Make an agreement with them in advance, remember to draw and pledge, don't be afraid of [-], just in case, there is still a written document for both parties to talk to. "

Zhao Keran still wants to explain something more, everything has just started, they need to do a lot, and they need to recruit more officials in the yamen, there are many things that need manpower.

"Master! Jing'an Mansion is here to send grain seeds!" Shumo was panting, shouting while running, "What a big truck!"

This is coming?

After Fang Zhongyuan had finalized the official document, Zhao Keran found time to go to the delivery shop the next day.At that time, he also thought that there would be a lot of trouble before he could send it out.At least you have to fight a war of words with General Guo, who loves to smash walls and beat people when you disagree with him. Whoever wins will listen to him.

I don't think he was lucky, when he went there that day, he didn't see any General Guo.Then I met General Xu.

When Zhao Keran saw Xu Jun for the first time, he felt that the person in front of him looked like a scholar, not a general.

After he reported his home and explained his purpose, the other party was stunned for a long time before returning to his senses and asking him if he wanted to deliver by foot, by horse, or in a hurry.200 miles per day by foot, 300 miles per day by horse, and 400 miles per day by foot.

Zhao Keran thought that this was not an urgent delivery for war after all, but he really couldn't waste his time, the land would be hard to grow after a while, so he chose a compromise horse delivery.It takes two days to reach Jing'an Mansion.

The matter of letting the delivery shop deliver the official documents was perfectly resolved, but General Xu kept staring at him with a half-smile, not knowing what it meant.

The distance between Jing'an Fucheng and Jingyang County is [-] li, counting the days, there is no delay in the journey.

Zhao Keran and Fang Zhongyuan returned to Yali, while Shumo stayed to take care of Zhao Xiaoyu.

"Where are the people from Jing'an Mansion?" When Zhao Keran came back, there was only one Taiping cart in the yamen, which was loaded with more than a dozen bags of grain seeds.

"They sent the people and left, they didn't even want the car, and they said they would rush back to report." Wu Jiu took out a piece of cloth from his bosom, which was specially used for writing official documents, "The military master who delivered the grain seeds gave it to you. It is said that the prefect asked the county magistrate to take a closer look."

look carefully?

Zhao Keran took the cloth and looked at it carefully.There is nothing written on it, but the translation of the old saying means to gather as many grains as possible, which are the two staple grains of wheat and soybeans.Now that they are busy farming, they can't help much, and let him tell him if he has something to do in the future, he will definitely help if he can.

The prefect of Jing'an is warm-hearted.

Zhao Keran sent Wu Jiu and Sun Ying to pick up Shumo, and brought back some reed mushrooms.He asked Fang Zhongyuan to fetch the bamboo slips and count the number of types.

While everyone was gone, Zhao Keran used all his strength to move a bag of grain into the space.

It was a bag of soybeans. After dumping the beans on the ground, he went to the system mall to buy sweet potato seedlings.The seeds lit by the system mall can be extracted indefinitely.Zhao Keran took 6000 seeds, which can probably plant two acres of land.

It happened that a large sack could hold it, so he moved it out again and put it on the peace trolley.

When Fang Zhongyuan opened the sack, he felt a little strange, "Is this some kind of wild vegetable?"

Zhao Keran probed, picked up a sweet potato seedling to observe, and then began to act, "This is a good thing! This is called a sweet potato seedling, which can produce sweet potatoes. This sweet potato tastes sweet and has a strong sense of satiety. More importantly, the yield is very high High. Moreover, after maturity, the leaves can be eaten. The dried seedlings can also be ground and fed to pigs. Because there is no moisture, they can be preserved for a long time without spoiling."

Hearing this, Fang Zhongyuan quickly picked it up and checked it. He was very careful, for fear of knocking off a leaf, and exclaimed: "Oh, then we will be able to raise a lot of pigs in Jingyang County in the future!"

Zhao Keran's black line, why the focus is on pigs, not sweet potatoes with high yield and sweet taste!

Fang Zhongyuan looked at the sweet potato seedlings and thought for a while, and said: "Jing'an probably doesn't know what it is. It was just pulled from somewhere to make up the number. If this is really the sweet potato that the county magistrate said, I'm afraid It's not early to report to the higher authorities.

Now that there is a constant famine in the Northwest, the emperor knew that this thing existed, so he should have issued an edict long ago.Before the edict was issued, they would cover it tightly in order to avoid taking credit.

Before they know it, let's plant it first.Then let the Holy Master know through the Fengyang Zhao family... Your magistrate, you must seize this great achievement.Jingyang has been forgotten by the imperial capital for too long..."

Zhao Keran didn't speak, he understood Fang Zhongyuan's words.In fact, it's not that Jingyang has been forgotten by the emperor for too long, but that he has been forgotten for too long.Empty and negative, but not reused.Forgotten here in Guanxiao County for so many years, Fang Zhongyuan was full of enthusiasm and could not show his ambitions. He just didn't want to die in depression. He was just an unknown Jingyang County Prime Minister until his death.

Zhao Keran actually admires Fang Zhongyuan, who has ambitions and ambitions.At the same time, I am firm in my heart, not to be assimilated by filth, and unwilling to let go of any hope.

Jing'an Mansion transported a total of 15 bags, 5 bags of wheat seeds, and 10 bags of soybeans, but now there are only 9 bags of soybeans, Zhao Keran dumped one bag into the space, and replaced one bag of sweet potato seedlings.

Zhao Keran plans to grow sweet potato seedlings by himself, and wait until the harvest time to see how the harvest is. If it is good, he will make it a staple food and promote mass planting.

The next day, the Xu family brought the ox cart and farm tools to the county government office. Zhao Keran was worrying about how to transport the grain to Hedong Village, and how to open up wasteland and cultivate the land.Someone will hand you a pillow when you doze off, the Xu family is not so unkind.

"They got the news quickly. Knowing that the government government has sent grain seeds, they are not afraid of losing face if they come up to please them now." Fang Zhongyuan packed the farm tools, muttering something.

Zhao Keran knew that the old man was angry at the face the Xu family gave him.

"Today I'm going to open up wasteland to plant sweet potatoes. Only Sun Ying is left in the yamen to handle some affairs. Everyone else should go to Hedong Village together." Zhao Keran was gearing up for a big fight.

There is a piece of land not far from the Changhe River. Zhao Keran has visited it before. It is a piece of sandy land.Wheat and soybeans are not suitable for planting on sandy land, so that land has never been used.

But the sandy soil is very suitable for growing sweet potatoes!

Sandy land has larger particles than yellow land, loose and airy soil, easy to cultivate, and good drainage, which is very suitable for crops with well-developed root systems.Moreover, sandy soil absorbs heat and releases heat quickly, which is conducive to the accumulation of sugar in crops.

Sweet potatoes grown in sandy soil not only have high yields, but are also extra sweet.

When they arrived in Hedong Village, Zhao Keran left the farm tools they needed, and gave the other farm tools and five bags of wheat seeds to the villagers of Hedong Village.

The soybean planting period is still behind, so they are directly placed in the county government for safekeeping.

Now there are 90 people in the village, men, women and children, no more, no less.Five bags of wheat seeds, one bag is about 60 catties, and about 15 catties of wheat seeds are enough for one mu of high-quality fertile land.Medium-grade fields cost about 24 jin, while low-grade fields cost about 32 jin.

In order to grow more wheat, Zhao Keran asked the big guys to only farm the top-quality fields, and they can plant up to 20 mu of land.

In the end, Zhao Keran planted an acre of sweet potatoes in the top-grade fields and sandy soil. He wanted to compare and see which one was better.

It's just that Zhao Keran was a little worried, they were too late to dig the ground.The land should be plowed before winter, as the insects in the ground will freeze to death after the winter passes.Can effectively reduce pests.

Now we can only take one step at a time.

For sweet potato planting, the ground should be laid in rows and raised high.hug soil ditch.Then put the sweet potato seedlings horizontally, one every six inches.Horizontal placement helps the seedlings to absorb nutrients in a balanced manner, so that the sweet potatoes produced on the seedlings are about the same size, reducing the situation of being too large or too small.

Zhao Keran has done experiments on the growth of crops in the absence of special fertilizers and poor soil quality.

At that time, sweet potatoes were in the silt land filled with river water, and only with the addition of farmyard manure, one mu could produce six to seven hundred catties.Nowadays, the soil quality of sandy land and yellow land is much better than that of silt land. Zhao Keran recalled the data from previous experiments and estimated that this mu of land can produce thousands of catties.

Now Zhao Keran is not worried that the seedlings will be sick and grow old. The land in Dayuan has rest, not all year round, season to season.The nutrients in the field are very high, and the sweet potato seedlings are produced systematically. He only worries about the bugs and the final harvest.

However, it still needs to be fertilized.There is still a difference in yield between those with soil fertilizer added and those without.

Looking at the large expanse of sandy land, Zhao Keran couldn't help but want to plant watermelons.Few crops are better suited to sandy soil than watermelons.

The main reason is that he himself wants to eat watermelon openly.
