Chapter 575

In fact, there isn't much to say at the Great Court Meeting, the rules are just like this.

The main thing was to discuss the problems caused by planting Baidianzi in the greenhouse, and then there were some other miscellaneous trivial matters.

I decided to leave for the Western Regions in the spring next year when I was not hungry. The original plan was to wait for another year.

Unexpectedly, Han Xin's side did it too quickly. The Huns did not resist the beating at all, so Wang had to plan in advance even if he was not hungry.

Otherwise, how embarrassing would it be if you finally arrived and the battle was over?

Therefore, the first task this winter is to arrange the things that should be done in the coming year, so as to avoid chaos in Luoyang next year after everyone leaves.

As for Bai Diezi, the importance of this is self-evident.

The purpose of using greenhouses for planting is simply to produce more seeds as quickly as possible, so that the scale of planting will be larger next year.

This new cold-resistant crop can also be promoted in Dahan as soon as possible.

At the very least, this kind of new clothing can be provided to the army within a few years. Wang Buxu is well aware of the hardships at the border.

It’s not just the pain in my heart that comes from being far away from home.

There is also physical and mental torture, especially in winter. How cold is it outside?

Wang Buxu understands this very well. Don’t the third brother’s family envy Rabbit?

Didn’t the rabbits in those days envy Eagle Sauce?

Moreover, Baidiezi is a cash crop and has many functions.

However, the effect of the greenhouse is not good, it can even be said to be very poor.

Growth is slow, and some even show signs of yellowing.

There are only three explanations for this phenomenon. One is that it is too cold and the temperature has not reached enough. The other is that the light transmittance is not strong. The growth of plants requires photosynthesis. The third is that the soil fertility is not enough.

But no matter which problem it is, it cannot be solved now.

Therefore, it is basically certain that the batch of Baidianzi tested this winter will basically be scrapped.

Not to mention wasting a lot of money and manpower, you may get nothing in the end.

Moreover, a batch of seeds was lost in vain.

"Your Majesty, I heard that Liu Ji and the others found some traces and brought back some things from Shu and Jiangxia. They are currently sorting out the information. It is said that they are planning to find a piece of land to test it next year. Why don't you listen to it?

What are their opinions?" Wang Ji suddenly thought of several of his students.

At first, most of them chose to engage in machinery, but Liu Ji and another student chose to engage in agriculture.

Of course, they don't just sit in the field and study how to farm. This kind of farming technology is not within the scope of their research.

After consulting a large amount of information, we learned that the grain output of Shu and Jiangxia is higher than that of other places.

Therefore, in some places and certain regions, the yield of food is higher.

And it's not just every now and then, but it's the same every year. I asked someone to go there and inquired, and found that farming there is also very hard.

But in comparison, even if they farm in the same way, their yields are still very high.

The only hardship is due to the terrain, so we have to cross mountains and ridges frequently for farming and irrigation. In addition, the grass there grows very vigorously and needs to be taken care of frequently. Basically, after the grain seeds are planted, the grass will have to be removed soon.

If you leave it alone for a month or two, the weeds will grow taller than the crops.

"Call!" Wang Ji reminded, and then Wang Buxu thought that Liu Ji and others had this project.

Wang Buxu prides himself on having a pretty good memory, but unfortunately, in the face of a large number of tedious matters, his memory is still insufficient.

Wang Buxu was also curious about why the grain output in Shu and Jiangxia was so high.

Is it just because of climate and water factors?

Or do they have any special method of retting?

Farming is nothing more than that. Although Wang Buxian can't say that he is proficient in it, he at least knows something about it.

If you want to achieve high yield, there are also many factors, such as the selection of grain seeds, fertilizer selection, irrigation, weeding, and agricultural pest control. Basically, as long as these points are done, the yield of this land will not be low.

The grain seeds are left behind by the family, and the fertilizer is also the excrement left by the family, and the quantity is scarce, so it cannot be guaranteed that every piece of land can be used.

The water problem has basically been solved. Although irrigation cannot be done, it can still ensure that there will not be too much water shortage.

The common people are diligent enough in weeding. After all, if you don't work in the fields these days, you have nothing to do at home. You can't make people to play with every day, right?

The management of agricultural hazards is quite a headache. There is basically no solution to this problem these days.

We can only go around the fields every day and take a look. If we find that there is agricultural damage, we should quickly find the crops that have been invaded by agricultural damage, and then uproot them as soon as possible.

Although these are lost, more food can be avoided.

It's just that the efficiency of this method is not particularly high, and there is no guarantee that it will be cleaned up, but it is also a no-brainer.

In later generations, one acre of wheat yielded six to seven hundred catties. In this day and age, he was a Shennong-level figure.

And what will this output mean in future generations?

To put it simply, an individual can achieve this output.

Before plowing, spread fertilizer, break the bank, mechanize cultivation, then irrigate once or twice when the time comes, and then wait for the harvest to be ready.

The kind that doesn't need to be planted once in the middle. If you can spare a few days of effort to take care of it, the output will not be less than 900 kilograms.

If we farm according to ancient farming methods, we can basically guarantee a yield of more than 1,100 kilograms per mu of wheat.

These kings understand even if they are not hungry, but it is useless for him to understand.

The key is that he does not have that ability. He does not have the cultivated and improved grain seeds, and he cannot resist drought, floods and wind.

There are not so many advanced fertilizers, and suitable fertilizers can even be developed according to different soil compositions.

It is also impossible to develop fertilizers corresponding to different crops.

But some things still have to be done.

Even though there is no shortage of food in the Han Dynasty now, it can be guaranteed that every household will not go hungry. Although it is still not possible to eat well every time, the imperial court has been thinking of ways to increase production.

Although the entire focus is now affected by the economy and military, this does not mean that the court does not pay attention to it, it is just that there is no breakthrough.

After a short time, Liu Ji was brought into the main hall.

This was his first time coming to the Great Han Palace, and he was trembling with nervousness.

Of course, he would never say it. In fact, he was shivering from the cold.

It is said that it is extremely cold at high places, and now he has realized it. Although the temperature in the hall is quite acceptable, the moment he climbed the steps, the temperature made him a little unbearable.

If he hadn't been running back and forth for more than half a year and was in pretty good shape, Liu Ji really didn't know if he would be able to withstand this trip.
