Chapter 324: potato

One second of genius remembers, to provide you with wonderful novel reading.
In the main hall, Xiao Ming and Yue Yun sat opposite each other. For a long time, Xiao Ming collected the booklet. 【】
He has basically understood the current situation. Generally speaking, the overall distribution of European countries has not changed, and only the current ruler has changed.
Other than the slightly advanced technology, there is no other difference.
"His Royal Highness, Ryukyu is also occupied by the Dutch. This is tantamount to blocking the route of our fleet going south. At the end, I feel that this Ryukyu must be taken back. In this way, the trade between the Japanese and other countries can be cut off." Yue Yun said.
Xiao Ming nodded, Yue Yun was very foresighted, as long as he took Ryukyu and controlled the route, from then on, the Japanese nation's would be held in his hand.
However, this matter is still very long-term. After all, he has not enough ability to win Ryukyu. These three Galen ships have caused him a heavy loss.
It's just that this adventure is also worth it, Yue Yun brought back corn, peanuts, potatoes and pepper seeds.
"Let's not mention this. Your task now is to recruit navy soldiers, train them, and wait for the formation of the Dengzhou fleet. At that time, it will be your time to sail at sea."
Yue Yun nodded, showing a trace of excitement. After docking in Dengzhou, he made a special trip to the Dengzhou Shipyard. Now the shipyard is building six warships at the same time.
Two of them belonged to the first class sailing warships, and when these warships were launched, he believed that he could compete with the Dutch at sea.
Looking at the excited Yue Yun, Xiao Ming asked expectantly: "Where are the potatoes, peanuts, peppers, and corn?"
"Going back to your Highness, these things will have been sent to the treasury of the government office, and will finally be brought back to the whole three ships this time." Yue Yun said.
Xiao Ming happily closed his mouth from ear to ear, and said, "Let's go, let's go to the warehouse and have a look. While it is still early, these things can still be planted."
The two arrived at the warehouse together. At this time, Xiao Ming saw a pile of potatoes, with peanuts on one side of the potatoes, corn next to the peanuts, and pepper seeds next to the corn.
"Great, great." Xiao Ming rubbed his palms excitedly.
Potatoes, corn, and peanuts are all high-yield crops, and these crops are also very suitable for planting in arid areas. Once these crops are promoted in Qingzhou, he will not worry that the people of the fief will be hungry in the future.
"His Royal Highness, the potatoes, peanuts and corn taste really good. If it weren't for these things, the soldiers might have starved to death on the island." Yue Yun had already tasted these things.
"Of course, it's not only delicious, but also more productive than wheat and rice." Xiao Ming turned around and said to Zhao Long: "You tell the transportation team, now you will transport these seeds to the slave plantation and plant these things. Go down."
Zhao Long heard the words and had to leave.
This time Yue Yun was struggling for the long distance, Xiao Ming also had to take care of Yue Yun's body, and after speaking a few words with Yue Yun, he asked him to go back to rest.
And he went back to the palace to write the method of growing potatoes, peanuts, peppers, and corn.
The next day, he took the planting manual to the slave plantation on both sides of the Tuojiang River in Qingzhou.
Originally, these lands were not owned by Xiao Ming, but belonged to the former four great families, but after the destruction of the royal family, the Qin family and other families, some fertile lands came into his hands and became official houses.
In order not to waste the land, he dispatched 6,000 slaves to take care of the thousands of hectares of land.
"His Royal Highness, can this potato really yield four thousand catties per mu?"
Pang Yukun was also very concerned about the imported crops. Before he set off in the morning, Pang Yukun was waiting outside.
Saying this along the way, the two gradually arrived at the slave plantation.
At this time, a village appeared in front of the two of them. The village was very small, with about fifty brick houses from south to north.
These brick houses are neatly arranged, apparently not long after completion, and many slaves are running back and forth in the fields and villages.
And there is a small village like this not far away. The slaves of these villages are each responsible for the land in their own area.
"His Royal Highness, Pang Changshi."
The two entered the village, and an honest farmer ran over. He was the captain of the village and was responsible for the cultivation of the land and the management of the village personnel.
"Kui Si, can you keep the things you sent yesterday?" Xiao Ming asked.
"His Royal Highness, it's all right," Kui Wu was cautious.
Xiao Ming nodded. The slave plantation is just emerging in his hands now, and it will become more and more popular after Qingzhou in the future, because in this era, the slave plantation is an important source of food.
"Well, that's the case, you now gather everyone in the village, and this king will teach you how to grow these crops."
Kui nodded at four, ran to the middle of the village and rang a bronze bell in the middle of the village. After a while, all the slaves in the field gathered.
Pang Yukun is purely here to gain insights today, because he doesn't say anything, just studies seriously.
This time Xiao Ming came here in person and wrote the planting manual by himself.
Because crop planting is also a science, especially potatoes, which are degraded in the modern era, he had to arrange the work of cultivating high-quality seedlings in advance.
After all, after several generations of reproduction, the next generation of potatoes will have a substantial reduction in production due to soil viruses or even no harvest.
This time he is going to talk to Kui Si about breeding. Whether it is peanuts, corn, peppers or potatoes, it is necessary to manually select the best to retain high-quality seed.
So this time he planted potatoes, peppers, peanuts, and corn not for eating, but for growing seedlings.
After all the slaves were in place, Xiao Ming began to focus on the method of raising seedlings of potatoes.
Xiao Ming took a look at the potatoes that Yue Yun had transported this time. They were all very big, indicating that they were high-quality potatoes, so there was no problem in cutting them for reproduction.
He confessed that Kuisi cut the potatoes into pieces~EbookFREE.me~ Keep the weight of each piece at about 20 grams, and each potato should have one or two buds.
In addition, the knife should be burned with alcohol for strict disinfection when cutting.
Then, when the potato pieces germinate, the buds will be reproduced by breaking the buds, that is, the potato sprouts that have already grown are cut off and planted. At this time, the broken potato buds will grow out again after a period of time, which is similar to the principle of cutting leek.
When cultivating these seedlings, select high-quality seedlings again.
It is still spring, and field planting of potatoes is very suitable in autumn, so now is a good time for seedlings.
These operations are not difficult, and Kuiwu and others have no problem understanding.
Then he talked about peanuts, corn, peppers and other seedlings, and explained the establishment of seedling bases in each plantation. In this way, these imported crops can be continuously planted in his fief.
