623 The Goddess Collection System of the Heavens and the World / The Goddess Collection System of the Heavens and Worlds Chapter 623

There are many rivers and ponds in the south of the Yangtze River. River mud and pond mud are good fertilizers, and digging river mud and pond mud can also clean up and widen the river course, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.

Moreover, Chen Muyang also secretly promoted that the three hundred acres of land was bought by the county magistrate, and that the three crops planted were high-yield overseas crops that the county magistrate accidentally obtained.

In ancient China, it was agriculture-oriented, and grain output was the most important indicator. Therefore, such a publicity attracted the attention of many people.

Some are curious, some are disdainful, some are mocking, some are waiting to see a joke.

There were even malicious people who gave Chen Muyang a high-yield investigator.

Your sister, your sister is prolific!

Forget it, don't talk about it.

Under Chen Muyang's careful control, Xu Xian and Bai Suzhen have never had a chance to meet, while Chen Muyang took the opportunity to use his talents of heterosexual affinity and the means of picking up girls to continuously deepen the affection of Bai Suzhen.

A few months later, the autumn harvest has come.

Chen Muyang let out the wind and prepared to start harvesting corn on the day after the Mid-Autumn Festival.

In the past few months, rumors of Chen Muyang buying land to plant overseas high-yield crops have been heated up. Hearing that high-yield crops are about to be harvested, they immediately attracted many people.

When Chen Muyang, Xiao Qing and Bai Suzhen arrived at the edge of the field, there were already many people surrounded.

Chen Muyang said to the steward Bai Fu: "Measure ten acres of land to harvest, and see how much the average yield per mu can reach."

Bai Fu immediately greeted the staff to harvest.

The corn is broken down and sent to the threshing field. After peeling off the skin, the corn kernels are rubbed off directly... These are all done by hand. For this reason, Chen Muyang hired a lot of labor.

There are many people and great power. At ten o'clock in the morning, all the corn on ten acres of land is threshed and piled on the threshing ground. The golden corn kernels are piled up like a mountain, like a golden mountain in the sun.

Although they haven't weighed yet, the onlookers have widened their eyes and looked at the pile of grain greedily.

"Bag and weigh!" Baifu ordered.

Bags of corn were loaded and weighed. Bai Fu excitedly ran over to Chen Muyang and said in a loud voice: "Master, the total yield of ten mu of land is 11,285 jin, and the average yield is 1,122 per mu. Eighteen catties! [They are all modern measurement, so it looks more intuitive, the Song Dynasty measurement is very troublesome, everyone knows the meaning.]"

The onlookers were suddenly in an uproar, with a yield of more than 1,100 catties per mu. It was really high yield, really high yield!

Chen Muyang said loudly: "Everyone, Ming Japan County will hold a corn tasting conference here, and there will be food made from various corns for everyone to taste."

The crowd applauded and looked forward to the tasting meeting tomorrow.

Corn continued to be harvested, and 100 acres of corn were finally harvested. A total of more than 120,000 catties of grain was obtained, with an average yield of more than 1,200 catties per mu!

In the afternoon, a mason was hired to build a simple stove on the side of the field. There was a chopping board beside the stove, and all kinds of food could be made on the spot.

After breakfast the next day, many people came here to wait, and more and more.

When time 4.1 was approaching noon, Chen Muyang ordered the women hired to do it.Simply stick tortillas, steamed corn pudding, boiled porridge, corn spring rolls, fried tortillas and so on.

The scent drifted, and the crowd was about to move.

However, under the maintenance of the government officials, the crowd lined up, and each person began to taste a small portion.

"It smells good, it feels better than steamed buns."

"This is grain, it's really grain. From now on, five grains will become six grains."

"With such high-yield food, we don't have to be afraid of going hungry in the future."

Suddenly someone screamed: "My lord! Your magistrate, don't let people grind the noodles anymore, just leave them as seeds!"

The crowd then recollected and expressed their belief that corn is a high-yield crop, and they all want to grow it, and hope that Chen Muyang will not eat and leave it as seeds.

Chapter 670

Chen Muyang smiled and said: "Don't worry, I used to grind the noodles. They are all selected for seeds that are not suitable for making. You can eat them with confidence."

Everyone was relieved.

"There are some things I want to talk to you." Chen Muyang opened his mouth to focus everyone's attention.

"First, corn does not have strict requirements on the land, so dry land and hillside land are more suitable for it, and paddy fields are still the most suitable for growing rice. I know, you think that the yield of rice is not as high as corn. This, after a while You know; second, corn seeds will not be sold for the time being."

The crowd was in an uproar, and these old farmers were almost desperate with Chen Muyang.

"Quiet!" Chen Muyang said faintly, but his voice seemed to explode like thunder in everyone's ears, quieting them down.

"Didn't I say that planting corn in a paddy field is not cost-effective, so I will only sell it to people who have dry land or mountain slopes at home. If there is a paddy field at home, I will sell your rice seeds."

The rice yield per mu in the Song Dynasty is equivalent to about 250 jin in modern times, which is 125 kg, while the modern non-hybrid traditional rice yield per mu is as high as 600 kg!

The seeds that Chen Muyang wants to distribute to them are the traditional rice that the produced rice can be used as seeds. Even in this era, it cannot be cultivated as intensively as later generations, but it is not a problem to reach 400 kg per mu.

"Master Chen, are the rice seeds you want to sell also high-yield rice?"

Chen Muyang nodded affirmatively: "Of course, the production capacity per mu has tripled in the past!"

three times!Doesn't that mean there are six stones!

The crowd was immediately excited. Although the corn food tastes good, as Jiangnan people, of course they prefer to eat rice.

Chen Muyang clapped his hands and said, "I will harvest potatoes in five days. If you are interested, you can come and have a look."

In this era when communication depends on roaring and rushing on the road, news of the emergence of grain with a yield of more than a thousand catties per mu spread throughout the Song Dynasty in a very short time.

Qiantang is very close to Lin'an, so a servant came to announce the decree the next afternoon and let Chen Muyang go to Beijing to meet him.

Chen Muyang came to Lin'an with some corn seeds, met the emperor, and personally instructed the royal cook to make some delicious food with corn.

The emperor and ministers nodded after tasting.

"Your Majesty, corn is only one of them. The minister has also obtained some rice varieties, which can increase the single-season yield per mu to three times the past."

The emperor was a very careful person. He was pleasantly surprised and said: "Chen Aiqing said Shan Ji?"

"Yes, it is said that most areas in the south of the Yangtze River are suitable for planting double-cropping rice, but according to the investigation of the minister, there are few places where double-cropping rice is planted. The reason is that late rice is in the blooming and filling period, and there is a great chance of cold dew solar terms and sudden temperature drops. , Almost no harvest. But Chen has found a way to avoid the cold dew solar terms."

"Oh, what method?"

"Indoor seedling raising. The traditional planting method is to choose a field to raise seedlings outdoors, but the minister tried to raise seedlings indoors. By raising the indoor temperature, early rice can be harvested half a month earlier, so as to avoid late rice blooming and filling. Cold dew solar terms."

The emperor was naturally even more pleasantly surprised. In ancient times, as long as the emperor was not so mediocre, he would pay attention to farming.

"Your Majesty, the minister has not finished the report. The minister has also received two kinds of crops overseas. They are potatoes and sweet potatoes. They are both suitable for vegetables and food. They are used to growing in sand and dry land. The yield per mu can reach thousands of catties. Properly, you can eat the spring plowing season in the coming year. In the disaster year, even if you only eat potatoes and sweet potatoes, you can guarantee that you will not starve to death."

These words blasted on the heads of the emperor and the officials like thunder. They are suitable for food and food, are used to grow on sandy and dry land, produce several thousand jin per mu, and can be preserved until spring plowing. Any crop that meets one of them is amazing and amazing. There are crops with all the advantages!
