Tianyuan Shoufu is two and a half years old

Chapter 135 Lou Family Army

"Hey, do you know that Yan in your name has more strokes of bamboo than your cousin's name?" Qin Muzhang looked at his son in surprise and said.

"Of course I know. My cousin and I have been practicing our names for a long time, and it's not like I haven't counted them before." Qin Xiaobao said.

"Hahaha, Xiaobao is so smart." Qin Muzhang said happily.

Although he knew that his son was the famous Shoufu later, he never thought that his son would be so smart at such a young age.At only three years old, he speaks clearly and knows how to refute adults.

Although Qin Xiaobao complained that his name had too many strokes, he still wrote all the words he should write, and he could play only after he finished writing, otherwise he could not play in the "amusement park" made by his father, how pitiful ah.

After the busy planting of the sacrificial field in Qinjiazhuang, basically he needs to work on his own land. The dry land needs to be planted with corn and sweet potatoes, and the paddy field is also soaked in water like Qin Muzhang and the others, and then the seedlings are raised. .

When the seedlings grow well and the full moon is over, the soaked paddy fields will be plowed several times before the seedlings can be planted, and then you can harvest a thousand catties of rice per mu.

Last season, Qin Muzhang’s family planted rice and raised fish in the rice field. In fact, the people in Qin’s family village were very envious after seeing their harvest. They could grow such high-yield rice and have so many fish. Make a lot of money.

After planting the dry land, other people in Qinjiazhuang approached Qin Muzhang and Qin Songtao, father and son, and planned to ask them how to raise fish in the rice field.

Neither Qin Songtao nor Qin Muzhang harbored any secrets. Both Chen Qiuxiang and Wang Mingya also gave advice to the villagers, telling them how to plan the rice fields and how to grow the fields and fish well.

Qin Muyu's life is not much different from before the government examination. He is still working as a teacher in the school after returning to the village, and there is nothing special about it.

It's not that there are no scholars in Qinjiazhuang Academy, and Qin Muyu is not the only one, so it's not at all awkward for him to go back and continue teaching students.

After Qinjiazhuang started farming, it became busy. On the other side, Lan Tingfeng made people rush to send sweet potatoes and corn to the Northwest Army.

Northwest Army, Lou Family Army Camp.

"General, Lan Shaoqing sent someone to send a batch of food seeds that can be planted in our northwest." The grain and grass transportation supervisor reported.

"Oh?" Lou Chengfeng, the main general of the Lou Family Army, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Grain seeds suitable for planting in the northwest? Lan Shaoqing? Who is it?"

"Young Minister of Dali Temple, Master Lan Tingfeng Lan." said the grain and grass supervisor.

"Those who sent the things said that these seeds can yield several thousand catties per mu, that thing called sweet potato can yield three to four thousand catties per mu, and corn can yield more than 1000 catties per mu."

"Sweet potatoes? Corn?" Lou Chengfeng looked at the food supervisor in surprise and asked, "You mean sweet potatoes and corn? What Lan Shaoqing sent were sweet potatoes and corn?"

"Yes." The grain and grass supervisor said, "Lan Shaoqing brought tens of thousands of catties of sweet potatoes and corn, saying that they let us plant them in the northwest, and the person who delivered them said that these two kinds of grains are not picky , it can also be planted in our northwest."

Lou Chengfeng said happily when he heard the words, "Okay, you can make arrangements for people to plant the sweet potatoes and corn as soon as possible, otherwise they will not be harvested in time."

Lou Chengfeng was very happy. How important is it to the army to produce several thousand catties of grain per mu?What is the most important thing in ancient wars?Forage, of course.

The grain and grass transportation supervisor took the order, and immediately received the tens of thousands of catties of sweet potatoes and corn sent by Lan Tingfeng, and asked people to keep about [-] catties of sweet potatoes to taste, and the rest were planted according to the sent orders. The instructions for raising seedlings are intended to be planted.

There are also farmers in the Northwest Army, and the soldiers usually plant the land after training. Otherwise, the food for so many of them can only be transferred from other places, which is not enough.

Therefore, most of the army will still open up farmland in the place where they are stationed, some of which are planted by soldiers, but more of them are planted by the people here and the families of the soldiers.

After the Northwest Loujia Army received the sweet potatoes, most of them were prepared to germinate according to the method in the manual. Some of the [-] catties of sweet potatoes left behind were steamed and some were used to cook sweet potato porridge, so that the soldiers often Sweet potato taste.

At night, the soldiers got steamed sweet potatoes and boiled sweet potato porridge.

"Is this the grain delivered today that can be grown in our northwest?" A commander asked curiously, looking at the porridge in front of him and a sweet potato that was probably bigger than his fist.

"It looks good." Another commander also said.

"It's very good. It's very rare to be able to grow in our northwest, and the yield per mu can reach thousands of catties. Let's cherish it." Another person said.

"How about a taste."

Someone took a sip of sweet potato porridge. Sweet potato porridge is cooked with sweet potatoes and brown rice. The taste is definitely not as good as polished rice, but it is still very fragrant.

"It's delicious." Someone couldn't help but say after tasting the sweet potato porridge. He also carefully tore off the skin of the steamed sweet potato, then took a bite of the sweet potato, and was captured by the sweet taste of the powder.

"This sweet potato is sweet." The soldier who took a bite of the sweet potato said happily.

Although the sweetness of sweet potatoes is not so strong, but such a little sweetness can make people like it, but they rarely eat sweet things.

"Is it sweet?" The others asked in surprise.

"It's a little sweet and delicious."

"Really?"

"This sweet potato is a bit dry to eat, but it's very good to drink sweet potato porridge while eating."

The soldiers of the Northwest Army like sweet potatoes very much. Because the amount of corn is not very large, they all use it as seeds, and do not keep it for eating.

But the sweet potatoes alone have already satisfied the soldiers. Sweet potatoes are delicious, full of satiety, and its yield is still high, and it is not very picky. Why don't they like such fairy food?
So after tasting the taste of sweet potatoes, the soldiers of the Northwest Army began to reclaim the land to grow sweet potatoes in full swing, and they wanted more varieties.

According to the instructions, the sweet potatoes can be germinated first, and then separated and planted after the sweet potatoes are full of buds.After the sweet potato vine grows a little longer, the sweet potato vine can be cut off, the sweet potato leaves can be eaten as vegetables, and the sweet potato vine can be planted to continue growing.

In other words, these tens of thousands of catties of sweet potatoes are planted as seeds, and after a month or two of sweet potato vines grow, they can continue to plant the grown sweet potato vines as seeds.

In this way, they can plant more sweet potatoes, and they can harvest more sweet potatoes when they harvest.
