Chapter 233: War is a Big Goal

The nearly 1,000 buffalo sent by the Ryukyu Kingdom played a huge role in the spring plowing in 1266, and even greatly helped the handicraft production. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

These buffaloes are divided into four pens to feed...... At the same time, they are perhaps the best buffalo to eat on this plane, at least they can eat silage drenched in wood vinegar and pure corn and sweet potato residue.

When Captain Bao Wei led all the team members out of the morning exercise, the buffaloes were also lining up to go to the paddy field or dry field slowly.

Maybe they know each other well, and no one cares about each other.

Zhang Guoan, who was standing on the hillside, held a telescope and looked at the guards who were running morning exercises around the Badaohe area at the bottom of the mountain...... He smiled with satisfaction.

The players are in very good shape and in good spirits.

Zhang Guoan wanted to inspect his newly built tea plantation to see if there were any deficiencies in the infrastructure. To tell the truth, he and Jing Jing were annoyed with the tea soup style of the Great Song Dynasty, this year, they ordered a batch of new tea, and they did not need to be processed in the tea garden, they were directly transported here, and Zhang Guoan wanted to fry it himself.

Moreover, he also introduced seeds from Fujian to plant.

Tea plantations, it is advisable to choose flat land and gentle slope land in mountains and hills, there are abundant water sources nearby, and the surrounding ecological environment is better; The annual precipitation in the region is more than 1200 mm, and the active accumulated temperature of more than 10 degrees is more than 3500 degrees.

The soil is acidic or slightly acidic, with a pH of 4.5-6.5, and can be developed in places where non-limestone is formed.

On the island of Liuqiu, there are slopes that meet such conditions.

Originally, it was advisable to plant green manure to improve the soil in such a newly reclaimed wasteland with poor structure and low fertility, but Zhang Guoan went straight to the horse, relying on the natural organic fertilizer he had to directly increase the fertility.

He looked at the spacing of the terraces. It's a great fit...... At the beginning, he just said that he wanted to build a tea garden, and immediately there was a box head who said that he understood, he could lead people to build it, and it didn't need Zhang Guoan to worry about it, and people would build it by themselves.

He even asked if he would build a mulberry garden...... Mulberry gardens are generally to be on flat ground. Of course, they will occupy some land that can be used as farmland, but as long as they bypass the mountainous areas and are willing to open up the land, the land is endless for them.

Zhang Guoan said to the head of the box: "You observe that cassava leaf and see if the silkworm can eat it......"

The head of the box pulled off a cassava leaf and chewed it directly.

Zhang Guoan thought with peace of mind, fortunately, he brought a non-toxic ......

Sweet potato leaves and vines can be stir-fried and eaten, and can also be fed to pigs, cattle, sheep and poultry; But cassava leaves don't. Can only be used as feed.

Zhang Guoan has said it many times, but there are still people who come to taste this cassava leaf, trying in vain to turn it into a delicious food like sweet potato leaves...... But there are many losers.

Cassava leaves can be made into dry powder for compound feed, and concentrated leaf protein can also be extracted, which can be fed by monogastric animals, and the amino acid pattern of leaf protein is similar to that of leguminous plants, and the nutritional value is extremely high.

Cassava leaves can be fed directly to livestock. And tapioca leaf meal is a good feed for pigs.

In cassava leaf amino acids: except for methionine, which is below the critical level, other amino acids are abundant. The composition is balanced, much higher than some high-quality pastures.

More importantly, if the cassava leaf is processed into powder, the crude protein is much higher than that of high-quality alfalfa grass meal, such as 27% crude protein of cassava leaf meal. Alfalfa protein is only 20.40%, so from the overall nutrient level assessment, the nutritional value of cassava leaves is comparable to that of alfalfa grass meal.

However, in terms of the number of poultry and livestock on the island today. A few more back and forth, I can't digest the cassava leaves...... It's a shame to be green manure.

Cassava leaves can also raise silkworms, Zhang Guoan used it like this when he was in that world, but the silk generated in that way, not to mention compared with mulberry silkworms, even if it is compared with silkworms, it is much thicker, but coarse has the advantage of coarseness, is it not good to be stronger? It is also needed by the poor families of the middle and lower classes, and besides, it will be one of the best filter cloth materials in the industry.

The head of the box really knew about sericulture, he smiled and said: "I saw that castor leaves, oak leaves, and pear leaves can be used as mulberry leaves, but I haven't heard of using cassava leaves......"

Of course, he'd hell if he heard it.

He looked at the cassava on the hillside and said, "If this thing is as productive as potatoes and sweet potatoes...... O gods, if there is still hunger in the world, what a great evil it must be......"

Zhang Guoan didn't want to discuss this issue with him at all, so he directly arranged him to be the general person in charge of the planting and management of the tea industry, sericulture industry, and pepper industry.

Let him solve the problem of silkworm seeds by himself, whether he uses mulberry silkworm seeds to feed, or finds silkworm seeds that can eat castor leaves, even if he goes to the wild to catch wild silkworms and feed them manually...... Anyway, it is necessary to use up the excess cassava leaves, and silk must be produced.

Da Song plays fine, let's play rough!

The price of mulberry leaves is not low, and the cost of cassava leaves is basically free, and as for the labor cost, the two parties are the same.

If you can sell silk for cotton and linen...... Liuqiu Island has another powerful business project.

Tranquility led the women to process vermicelli, a commodity that was stored in Nai, which was welcomed by the Great Song Market as soon as it was launched, and she did not promote the method of eating, so she began to invent it herself, especially with vegetables such as tomatoes, shallots, potatoes, sweet potatoes, peanuts, and cabbage, and Liuqiu Island also transported money and other materials abroad.

There is no one who does not buy potatoes, shallots, and cabbage, which are not as durable as vermicelli, but are far better than the average vegetables of this plane.

Zhang Guoan asked Captain Cai Erlang before what kind of food they ate when they sailed, but he didn't expect that people really had their own methods.

They brought plenty of soybeans and mung beans, and they sprouted their own beans!

And sometimes pigs are raised on ships!

Zhang Guoan was very impressed at that time...... But he also asked, "If you know about pigs, why don't you catch some turtles?" Just drench it with some seawater every day...... How long does it live? ”

Captain Cai Erlang said in surprise at the time: "That living thing has a terrifying appearance, can it be eaten?" ”

Well, Zhang Guoan is speechless, the turtle is not cute enough? It tastes better than chicken......

Zhang Guoan's idea is that those who go to dig struvite stones, by the way, catch some turtles for me, and then put them into a large cement pool, fill them with some seawater, and when they want to eat it, they will let people catch one of them, and after killing them, they use chili peppers and peppers to remove the fishy smell, which is delicious.

In this way, everyone began to get used to it.

However, what did not use him to promote was turtle eggs...... This one is often found in their cafeteria.

The diversity of food means that the people of the island of Rakqiu earn far more from animal protein than people from other places, and of course, probably not as much as the Tatars.

Therefore, under the big goal of preparing for a big war, Zhang Guoan is still desperately developing and changing the places he can influence. (To be continued.) )
