"Great!"

Shang Ji couldn't help but clap his hands and said excitedly.

Normal breeding work takes a long time, and in some cases, it even takes a lot of time to select from generation to generation. However, Nong He is different, as a god-level agricultural master, he has the skill of rapid ripening.

It can shorten the growth cycle of crops to a few tenths of the normal one. After a month of hard work, Nonghe has cultivated the crops that the merchants wanted.

"The farmer has worked hard, and the general has thanked the farmer on behalf of the hundreds of millions of people in the Pingzhou Army!"

As he spoke, Shang Ji bowed to Nong He.

Nong He hurriedly let go of his body, waved his hand and said, "Don't dare to be the gift of the lord, the little old man is afraid." Cultivating all kinds of special crops is the duty of the little old man, and the lord does not need to do this! ”

"Having said that, the contribution of the farmer cannot be erased. This general ordered that Shennong temples be built in all cities, and a monument to the peasant and his disciples should be erected to remember the kindness of the peasant boss! ”

"Hiss......"

Even with Nonghe's indifferent temperament, he gasped after hearing Shang Ji's words, and a scorching fire burst out in his eyes.

"Is this true?"

"A gentleman's word is hard to chase!"

"My subordinates have thanked the lord for his great kindness!

Nong He was overjoyed and solemnly bowed.

After some politeness, Nong He also collected his excitement and began to introduce several newly cultivated seeds to Shang Ji.

There are not many types of seeds, but there are only three kinds.

"According to the instructions of the lord, the seeds cultivated this time mainly focus on the selection of excellent resistance, and the taste, yield and even nutrition can be compromised. However, Xiao Lao'er thought about it for a while, and thought that the simple pursuit of stress resistance was a bit biased, so he advocated and cultivated some other varieties, and asked the lord to forgive his sins. ”

Shang Ji was noncommittal, and motioned for Nong He to continue to introduce.

Nong He was also not polite, and continued: "Originally, Xiao Lao'er didn't have a clue, and he planned to work live rice to see if he could improve it from its foundation.

However, the 'Corn and Potato Altar' given by the lord before greatly inspired his subordinates. Corn and potatoes, two exotic crops, are the natural choice, both in terms of yield, stress resistance, and especially because they have excellent room for transformation, which is very suitable for cultivating new crops required by the lord! ”

As he spoke, Nong He took out a few small boxes, put them on the table and opened them in turn. Shang Ji got up and looked, but saw that the first box was filled with dozens of grains of corn. The corn seeds look a little shrivelled and the surface color is a little dull.

Nong He introduced in a timely manner: "Lord, look, this corn is the super stress-resistant corn we have cultivated. It is highly resistant to drought and flooding, and has very low need for manual management. Although the yield is slightly lower, the normal yield per mu is only about four stones, but it can ensure that even in extreme disaster situations, there is an output of one to two stones per mu! ”

"Corn is something that we haven't touched before, but we've developed a lot of ways to use it. Not to mention anything else, with a little processing, corn can become high-quality war horse feed. It can also be used as military rations in emergency situations. ”

After listening to Nonghe's introduction, Shang Ji nodded with satisfaction.

The normal yield of four stones per mu is naturally lower than that of chestnut valley without various magic changes of agricultural crops, but it is almost the same as the normal yield per mu in Dahan.

The Continent of Death is vast and the arable land is quite abundant. If you plant it at a large face value, even if you suffer a disaster, you can still have a yield of one or two stones per mu, which can at least ensure a life-saving ration.

After listening to the introduction of the magic corn, Shang Ji shifted his gaze to the next box.

The box contains a few egg-sized potatoes.

"Potatoes are also vegetables and grains, and according to the tips of the stranger, they can also be made into "vermicelli, vermicelli", etc., which is quite delicious to eat. It is truly a strategic food crop.

However, the potato situation is special, and the success rate of planting directly with seeds is very low, and the technical difficulty is high. However, the use of tuber seeds is very simple, and it is recommended that full-time farmers be sent to carry out breeding work, and ordinary farmers directly obtain tubers from the farm yard for planting. ”

"Okay, just according to what the farmer said. Farmers are experts in this area, let's do what you say! ”

After speaking, Shang Ji picked up a potato, pinched it in his hand and looked at it carefully, and asked as he looked at it: "Nonglao, I don't know what is unique about this new type of potato?" ”

"This potato is characterized by one thing, high yield! Very productive! On average, an acre of land can produce potatoes of 80 stone under normal circumstances, and if you can keep up with the management and fertilization, even 100 stone is not a problem! ”

"Shhh

Hearing the figure of eighty stones per mu, Shang Ji couldn't help but gasp!

At the beginning, the live rice offered by Nonghe could have a yield of more than 10 stone per mu has already surprised Shang Ji, and today this potato has directly grown to 80 or even 100 stones, which is 20 times the yield per mu of normal farmland!

"Of course, because of the one-sided pursuit of high yields, the effect of potatoes in drought resistance, waterlogging resistance and other aspects is not outstanding, and this kind of potato is very hurtful, and it is necessary to fallow for at least three years after planting a crop to restore the soil fertility."

"It's okay!"

Shang Ji waved his hand and said very heroically: "It doesn't matter if the land is injured, what we have is land rotation and rest." Ben will let Wen Ruo and them formulate a reasonable farming plan, and a variety of grains will be cultivated with each other, so as to ensure that even if one has an accident, there will be others, and it will not be possible to cause military and civilian casualties due to lack of food! ”

"The Lord has mercy!"

After a polite moment, Nong He continued to introduce the last crop. The last box contained grains of rice, and the white grains of rice shimmered.

"Although corn and potatoes are strong, they are difficult to eat for a long time as military rations. As far as our army is concerned, it is necessary to eat chestnut grain to ensure combat effectiveness, and corn and potatoes can only be crops to supplement emergency food. To this end, the subordinates deliberately transformed and bred on the basis of the four kinds of rice of 'life, life, beads and spirits', and cultivated new varieties!

This kind of rice is slightly stronger in nutritional value than raw rice, and it can fully guarantee normal military needs. However, the yield per mu is low, with an average of more than one stone and less than two stones. Moreover, it is less resistant to disasters such as floods and droughts. ”

Shang Ji couldn't help but be stunned for a moment when he heard this, and looked at Nong He suspiciously. The yield per mu is low and the stress resistance is still weak, so what are its advantages?

Nong He smiled proudly and said loudly: "The biggest and most significant feature of this rice is that it is fast-growing!" ”

"Quick?"

"Yes, it's fast! After the careful cultivation of Xiao Lao'er, the growth cycle of this rice has been directly shortened to 30 days, and it only takes one month from sowing to harvesting! ”

After speaking, Nong He asked with a smile: "My lord, no matter how tragic the death storm is, it is impossible to have both drought and flood in a month, right?" ”

"Hahaha, the farmer laughed, there is only a thirty-day growth cycle, even if you are unlucky enough to encounter floods and droughts, you can completely replant!"

Shang Ji completely understood Nonghe's thinking. Disasters are frequent, then I will shorten the growth cycle, as long as I grow fast enough, disasters will chase me!

"Of course, drastically shortening the growth cycle does not come without a cost. This kind of rice has strict management requirements and high requirements for fertilizer and water, and requires high-level farmers to manage and serve the crops. ”

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, we don't lack manpower, and it's completely feasible to send someone to be responsible for the cultivation of military rations!"

Shang Ji waved his hand again and again, and his face bloomed with a smile. The appearance of these three new crops can completely enable the Pingzhou Army to get rid of the increasingly serious food predicament, and even achieve food prosperity.

At this critical juncture, food is better than the army, and wielding the food stick, you can do many things that you didn't dare to imagine before!

For example, [grain for city]!
