Chapter 729： Reclaiming wasteland and planting potatoes

Chapter 729 Reclaiming wasteland and planting potatoes

Although Jiang Xinyan felt that it was not easy for the Queen Mother of Beiyue to collude with Emperor Dongchen.

But it is the best thing to destroy the collusion between them in advance, how can they blame the Prime Minister and them.

"Prime Minister, I think this hill is very suitable for growing potatoes. We, Xuanyan Castle, got rich by growing potatoes."

Jiang Xinyan stood on a small hill on the edge of the grassland and said excitedly.

The prime minister followed behind them. He couldn't wait to see the potatoes they planted in North Vietnam being praised.

They stood on the hill overlooking the whole grassland, which was far from the imperial city of North Vietnam.

And there are no villages or towns around, this grassland used to belong to a small tribe.

"Everything is under Madam Chu's instructions. We will do what you say." The prime minister said sincerely.

"Zhao Yu, bring out the **** and teach them to turn the ground." Chu Lixuan ordered.

"Brother, I can also **** the ground. Do you want me to teach them to dig the ground?" Chu Lixiang has been digging wildly since he came to the grassland.

"Let's go, Brother Xiang, it's best to learn to ride on the grass, it doesn't hurt to fall on the grass." Jiang Xinyan teased him.

"Hey, it's no wonder that it doesn't hurt. The beauty just fell and vomited blood."

Chu Lixiang and Xu Feng were sitting on the horse and could see clearly. He admired his sister-in-law very much, and he kicked people into the sky with one kick.

"Then you don't want to learn to ride a horse?" Jiang Xinyan asked while rubbing her nose.

"Learn, go to study now, will my sister-in-law teach me?" Chu Lixiang only wanted to be with his sister-in-law.

That's why he wanted to turn over the ground. It's natural to learn to ride a horse, and he can show off with Song Mingjiang when he goes back.

"Your sister-in-law is not free. She wants to teach the Prime Minister to grow potatoes. Hao Shengkun and Zihao will take you to ride a horse."

"Okay." Chu Lixiang pouted and walked away.

Many people are powerful, and it took half a day to unearth a large piece of wasteland. Zhao Yu led the teenagers to teach them how to do it.

Jiang Xinyan explained to the Prime Minister that potatoes have a strong ability to grow and adapt, and the soil is generally suitable for planting.

But if conditions permit, it is better to choose soft sandy soil for planting.

Potatoes are suitable for planting in sandy loam rich in organic matter.

is most suitable for planting in sandy soil, so the yield of potatoes will be much higher.

Jiang Xinyan told the Prime Minister that the potatoes they sent were all disease-resistant varieties.

The wasteland that has been turned over this year can be rotated for more than a few years if there are no accidents, which can also increase the yield.

This is the best thing for the prime minister. It can be planted in turn to prevent them from opening up wasteland everywhere.

They will not pick the ground, what is deep sandy loam, and what is sandy loam rich in organic matter.

These, he still hasn't figured it out, "Mrs. Chu, when I was in your castle last time, I heard them say that watermelons should be planted every year in wasteland."

"Yes, watermelons should not be planted on the soil of the previous year. Unless the soil quality is very different, the watermelon seedlings will suffer disasters."

"Why are potatoes okay?" The prime minister used his inquisitive instinct.

"Potato, corn, sorghum, and wheat can all be grown in rotation for several years."

This hill can be used to grow watermelons. Tomorrow we will pick the ground to plant watermelons. After all, watermelons are more complicated and require high ridge cultivation and mulching.

No matter what crops are planted, it must be drained in time after rain, and flood irrigation is strictly prohibited.

For root rot caused by Phytophthora phytophthora, the diseased plants should be dug up in time.

Master Prime Minister took a large notebook and carefully recorded every sentence Jiang Xinyan said.

Although they can communicate, they still teach the truth in person, one is serious in teaching, and the other is more serious in learning.

Jiang Xinyan is used to walking with rations, so she doesn't have to run back and forth to eat. Cooking rice on the spot is the specialty of the young people in Xuanyan Castle.

The soldiers of North Vietnam looked envious. The most important thing was that the young people in Xuanyan Castle had food.

Any of them can have access to food, unlike their North Vietnamese, food is extremely precious, and most people cannot access food.

The teenagers set up pots, wash the rice, pick vegetables, wash vegetables, and chop vegetables all in one go.

The smell of the food soon came out from the hills, and everyone had juice to drink after the meal.

After that, he continued to work, and the soldiers who followed the Prime Minister were full of energy.

Because Mrs. Chu said that the North Vietnamese will not go hungry again next year, and they have also learned many ways to make potatoes.

It's really delicious, and the beef jerky they grilled yesterday can actually be eaten as a snack.

Occasionally don't have time to cook, it's filling and it tastes great.

They felt that they had all lived in vain before, Ox, they went north more often.

But it won't do this, it's just a waste of delicious beef offal and delicious beef jerky.

No wonder the Prime Minister was very respectful to Master Chu and his wife, so the soldiers of North Vietnam showed great enthusiasm towards Jiang Zihao and Chu Lixiang.

Chu Lixiang's small mouth is especially good at saying, "I told you Chu Lixuan, as for the rice, there is no way for you to grow it in North Vietnam. Come to our Xuanyan Castle to change it."

"Mmmm, Brother Xiang, all the potatoes you make are delicious. We have no regrets if we can eat enough every day."

"Actually, the potato vermicelli is also delicious, we can eat it every day, it's not bad."

"What is this? Can't you grow corn and sorghum here?"

"I heard from your sister-in-law that it can be grown," said a young North Vietnamese soldier.

"Then the corn can be ground into flour to make buns, steamed buns, and noodles. Have you ever eaten them?"

"Hey, I've eaten it once or twice, it tastes great, if I can eat it every day..."

"What's so difficult about this, we Xuanyan Castle didn't have anything at the beginning, it's only been a year, why don't we have nothing?"

"Eating one for breakfast every day, and one for lunch, isn't that delicious?"

"Fragrance...sucking...haha..."

Chu Lixiang's arrogant appearance made the North Vietnamese soldiers laugh out loud. At the same time, he also imagined that a year later, they would not have to worry about their three meals.

Chu Lixuan and his party stayed in Beiyue for more than ten days, and the Beiyue people reluctantly sent them away.

Chu Lixiang not only learned to ride a horse, but also met a few children, and often wrote letters when they met.

After all, he was a child, and he was still tearful when he parted, but Jiang Zihao wanted to make fun of him.

But he also met new friends himself, and he was reluctant to part. When Jiang Zihao was in Xuanyan Castle, he began to cringe a little.

When everyone is nice to him, he thinks it is the relationship between his brother-in-law and sister that everyone is nice to him.

When he came to North Vietnam this time, those unfamiliar North Vietnamese soldiers and herdsmen did not know his identity.

People are impressed by his talent, they simply admire him as Jiang Zihao, and they recognize him.

"Don't be sad, we'll come back when you want to come." Jiang Xinyan said in a big voice.

"Welcome...Welcome...Next time we'll give you a warm welcome."
