Chapter 263 Farming, come to the door(1/3)
Amu's parents were very secretive about the Holy Land.
Lin Qian'an asked, but didn't get much information.
They only know that the Holy Land is a supreme existence that is superior to all secular forces. In the Holy Land, there live omnipotent immortals. Other than that, they know nothing else.
As for the purpose of the strange beasts or humans they are looking for, who are gifted and can control vegetation, no one knows.
Lin Qian'an decided to put these things aside and investigate slowly later.
As for now, he has to start implementing the plan.
The first is the issue of food. Since the court's land tax has increased, we must find ways to increase food production.
In this regard, it is definitely best to use Amu's ability directly.
But the Holy Land is also looking for Amu, so the ability must not be directly exposed, but must be hidden.
The best hiding place is under the ground.
After a little discussion, Yi Liang agreed to Lin Qian'an's plan.
With the reputation of being taught by a god and carrying a mission, plus their children were born extraordinary, Yi Liang and Sun He did not dare to constrain Amu's development as before.
So, after a lot of trouble, Lin Qian'an finally got her own free farming rights.
He asked Yi Liang to dig out a medium-sized cellar underground and divided it into two plots of about ten square meters.
Lin Qian'an marked these two plots of land respectively. One side is the experimental field and the other is the cultivation field.
Experiments are dedicated to growing new plants that have not been tried before, and cultivation fields are dedicated to growing food or plants that have been determined to be useful.
The underground space is very small, and it is humid and has no sunlight. Logically speaking, it is not suitable for plant growth. However, with Amu's special ability, Lin Qian'an can also grow plants on even a stone.
At present, one of the staple crops grown most by the people of Luo Yuan Kingdom is called [Grain].
Judging from the appearance, it looks a bit like a gramineous rice plant, very similar to real rice, but it appears to be very drought-tolerant, and the rhizomes are not annual herbaceous plants, but grow directly into small shrubs after planting.
It looks like, and then rice ears grow from the branches. Rather than being a herbaceous plant, it is more like a small shrub of a woody plant.
The growth height of [Graingrass] is more than half a person's height, about 80 centimeters, and the yield is also very low. According to the information obtained by Lin Qian'an, the yield per mu is only 600 kilograms.
Compared with the super rice that can even achieve a yield of thousands of kilograms per mu in reality, it is completely inferior.
But it also has advantages, that is, you don’t have to waste too much manpower on supervision after planting. You can get the harvest you deserve by applying a little fertilizer and paying attention to pests, birds and animals.
Generally, a [grass] tree can be harvested repeatedly for about five years before it gradually dies.
Lin Qian'an got a [Grain] seed and planted it in the cultivation field. Immediately, he pressed the e key to directly promote the seed.
Under the stimulation of plant essences, the seeds germinate and grow rapidly, the leaves extend, the rhizomes become strong, they bloom and bear fruit, and golden ears of rice grow.
Soon, a "Grain" about eighty centimeters tall appeared in front of Lin Qian'an.
What kind of power is it to force plants to grow and bear fruit without insect pollination?
There is no doubt that this is definitely a rule-level method.
And judging from Amu's origin, it can't be said that it is not an ordinary rule method.
With a click of the mouse, Lin Qian'an saw the profile information of this [Grain] tree.
[Hemu (one year): a lushly growing grass. [Characteristics: None]]
It has no special characteristics, but it has been able to grow to this point, which already surprises Lin Qian'an.
Calling his father Yi Liang and asking him to harvest the rice ears from the trees, Lin Qian'an tried the second round of growth promotion.
Emerald green light emitted from Amu's palm, and the harvested grass soon went through reincarnation again, and new ears of rice grew.
Lin Qian'an checked again and found that its properties had not changed much.
[Hemu (two years): a lushly growing grass. [Characteristics: None]]
Harvest again and grow again.
After five consecutive visits, the growth of the grass has reached its limit.
The limit here refers to the year.
Fixed at five years.
But it doesn't mean that Lin Qian'an can't continue to use plant essence to promote the growth of this grass.
He can still harvest it repeatedly and then give birth to it again and again.
You only need to consume a little bit of plant essence to get the entire ear of a grass, and you can get an almost unlimited amount of food from a single grass.
Lin Qian'an controlled Amu to find a few random trees outside and absorb them, and he could obtain dozens of points of plant essence.
So the efficiency is still very high.
After two days, the problem of Tian Fu was quietly solved.
In the process, Lin Qianan also discovered another mechanism.
That's the chance of plant mutation.
The ten percent mentioned here is not calculated based on the number of times Amu uses plant essences to induce plants, but based on the number of plants.
In other words, a 10% mutation probability means that for every ten plants spawned, there will be a probability of one mutation.
Therefore, Lin Qian'an also planted a new grass tree.
Its height reaches more than two meters, and its leaves and ears cover an extremely wide area, covering almost half of the ten-square-meter cultivation field. Its rice grains are two to three times thicker than ordinary cereals, and it almost reaches adulthood.
It's about the size of a person's little finger.
[Mutated grass (fifteen years): A mutated grass, the yield has been increased, and the grain has become fuller. [Characteristics: Increased yield]]
[Increase yield: The number of plants producing seeds increases significantly.]
This is a very interesting grass, its yield has reached about three times that of ordinary grass.
It reminded Lin Qian'an of Muhe in myths and legends.
However, compared to the five fathoms long and five wide circumferences, the grasses here are still far behind.
Although this magical crop has been grown, it is impossible to circulate it outside, so it can only be eaten privately.
Not to mention, the grains from mutated hemp trees are more nutritious and are also very helpful for martial arts practitioners to extract their true energy.
By complementing each other, Sun He and Yi Liang improved their martial arts cultivation much faster.
But even so, Lin Qian'an was not satisfied.
He wanted to find better, more suitable plants.
In the experimental field, Lin Qian'an brought out mutant plants one after another, but most of them were not suitable for mutation, so Lin Qian'an used Amu's ability to absorb the plant essence contained in them again.
Every time you go back and forth, at least 50% of the plant essence will be lost.
However, there are losses in energy transmission, which is normal.
It only consumes 50%, which is already very efficient.
This year, because of Amu, even though their land tax income increased by 20%, they still got through it smoothly.
If anyone else asked, Sun He and Yi Liang would shirk the question to their old father from Huwei Escort Agency.
When Amu was six years old, a mighty old man with white beard and hair, wearing a tiger-striped cloak and a broad-backed steel sword at his waist, came to Hongshan Village surrounded by a crowd.
He is the head of the Huwei Escort Agency, Sun He's father, Yi Liang's father-in-law, and Amu's grandfather.
He led the horse and arrived outside Amu's house.
[Sun Hu: My good son-in-law, you should go out and see who is coming!!]
Sun Hu waved his cloak and sat at the door swaggeringly.
Hearing the sound, Sun He and Yi Liang also led Amu to the door quickly and saluted him.
[Yi Liang: My son-in-law has met his father-in-law.]
[Sun He: Dad, why are you here? Why are you sitting here? Come inside and sit! 】
After some conversation, Sun He led Sun Hu into the house.
After everyone sat down, Sun He came to Sun Hu with Amu in his arms.
[Sun He: Mu'er, call me grandpa quickly.]
[Yi Mu: Grandpa.]
Sun Hu seemed very happy to see Amu.
He reached out and took Amu from Sun He and held him in his arms, with a smile on his face.
[Sun Hu: Oh, my good grandson, you miss me so much. Come here, grandpa brought you lotus cake. It’s so sweet. This was your mother’s favorite food when she was a child. 】
With that said, Sun Hu took a wooden box from his subordinates, opened it and showed Amu a look. Inside were small snacks shaped like lotus flowers.
He took out one piece and stuffed it into Amu's mouth. Lin Qian'an clicked the mouse and ate it.
Seeing Amu eating the cake, Sun Hu showed an expression of anticipation on his face.
