Sword of Death Camp

Chapter 113
Because isn't the corn almost ripe?
He wanted to keep all these mature corns as seeds. After all, he had to travel many times to carry them from modern times, wasting the times and time of this crossing.

The most important thing is that he can't move much each time, at worst, how much can he win if he moves 800 catties?
160 mu of land?

Wasting a chance to cross for 160 acres of corn seeds?

It's better to put the seed idea on the current corn field.

Now this time I will harvest 40 mu of corn, and it is still a new land on the mountain.

It is better to plant the first crop of this kind of new land without fertilization than to fertilize the land that has been planted for many years.

Therefore, after he went to see the 40 mu of corn field, he estimated that the production capacity of this year's corn field would be about 1500 to 2000 catties per mu.

Those forty acres, hiss...

Although after this trip, except for the farmyard manure applied at the beginning, that is, the usual weeding and weeding, no more fertilizer was applied. It is very good to have this kind of yield.

This is not a hybrid seed, so there is no problem of not being able to keep the seed, it can continue to stay, and then plant countless stubbles.

So he plans to save all the 40 acres of corn as seeds for planting next spring.

Unexpectedly, Yang Shicong told him that they don't grow corn here, they have fields to grow wheat, and there are mountains to grow sweet potatoes.

Common people don't recognize corn.

Why not?

"We have grown corn before, but here we have a lot of turtledoves. Just after you planted it, a group of turtledoves came over and dug the ground directly.

Not long after you planted it, the turtledoves dug it up and ate it all!

It's still the same after replanting a few times, and this corn is very attractive to mice. When the harvest is almost ready, the mice will come out!

When it's time to harvest, there are very few corn cobs that haven't been rattled by mice! "

Chen Shanhe shook his head: "That's not a reason, didn't you encounter mice when you planted wheat and sweet potatoes?"

Yang Shicong nodded: "I also encountered mice during the harvest, but at least there was nothing to harm the seeds when planting. Even the mice did not harm the seeds when they were planting grain in spring.

But when it comes to planting corn, the turtledove does not let go of any seeds!

Don't talk about using people to guard against them. Turtledoves are not afraid of people. Just after you planted them in front of you, they will dig up the soil with your back feet!
Can't even defend against it! "

Chen Shanhe looked puzzled: "That's wrong! The 40 acres we planted have not been planed!"

Yang Shicong smiled wryly: "If I hadn't seen you so nervous, I wouldn't have told Deputy Battalion Commander Sun to let him put the live ammunition training there.

Because we used to grow corn here.

There are so many fields in my family. I remember every time when someone failed to pay the food, who almost starved to death, or who borrowed food from us.

So, I asked Deputy Battalion Commander Sun to pay attention to the matter of the turtledove digging the corn seeds in the ground!

Deputy Battalion Commander Sun collected more than a dozen gunpowder guns to spray sand.

You didn't notice that there were a lot more turtledoves in the food in those days!
But ordinary people do not have these conditions like ours!

If you ask them to grow corn, they will definitely not grow it. "

(When I was young, my family planted corn. The land on the hillside was planted by the villagers, and a group of turtledoves went to dig it behind.

Later, the villagers soaked all the corn seeds in the rat poison, and then replanted the corn.

Otherwise, very troublesome)

This is a troublesome thing, if the common people don’t sow, you can’t force them.

"Can't you soak the corn seeds in rat poison first?"

Chen Shanhe asked.

Yang Shicong shook his head: "In the past, rats were poisoned with arsenic, but last year there was an incident where someone sneaked into the Japanese camp and poisoned a small group of Japanese soldiers with arsenic.

Since then, there is no arsenic sold in pharmacies in counties and towns controlled by the Japanese army. Where do you want us to find arsenic? "

Chen Shanhe thought for a while, and had an idea in his mind.

"Go and inform the village chiefs of the 16 villages, as well as some high-profile people, to come to the camp and help me with work for a few days!"

Gu Qiu didn't understand what he was thinking, so he quickly stopped him: "Battle Commander, what do you think?
Speak out and let's discuss and discuss.

If there is no special reason, don't let the people run around!
After all, we have discipline and cannot harass the people! "

Chen Shanhe waved his hand and said, "Don't worry!

It is good for the people to come!

Good for them! "

Yang Shicong got the order and went out. Soon, the communication team rushed out to the 16 villages under their jurisdiction.

In the 16 villages, all the persons in charge immediately rushed to this place the moment they received the order.

They dare not not come!
Will not come.

Because they learned from Yang Shicong that although Yang Shicong was willing to give them land, it was actually because the Death Battalion implemented the policy of the Eighth Route Army.

Don't forget the well diggers when drinking water. They got benefits and got the land. Now the death camp needs their help, so they went out without saying a word.

It only took about a day for everyone to arrive.

Don't think that the day is very long, some of their villages are far away.

This is only half of the town. If the whole town is under the control of the Death Battalion, there will be almost 30 villages. If he gathers people like this, they really can't come all over in a day.

(In the era when there were no bicycles, when visiting relatives in other villages, one had to carry a bed, because even if it was the same town, one had to stay for one night and leave the next day.

This is the case in our hometown, because we have to carry burdens to go, and sometimes we can’t get there in a day.

The traffic conditions at that time, the walking speed of ordinary people was not fast, and the most important thing was that they did not dare to walk at night at that time!
You must know that it is dark in the wild, but there are tigers, leopards and wolves!
It's different from the present era, where you can just stroll around without any problem!

Nothing but fear of snakes!

The big beasts are gone!
In those days, the gates of the village were basically closed when it was dark. In the author’s hometown, before the militiamen in the 70s and [-]s killed the last tiger nearby, the gates were closed at night, otherwise the tiger would die. Entering the village to take cattle, sheep or people away)

But Chen Shanhe didn't care about the other half of the town, he was already prepared.

What we have to wait for is the performance when facing the test of the Japanese army after this winter.

As long as they can survive the Japanese attack, the remaining half of the town will be won without any struggle.

Ordinary people are like this, they don't care about any major principles, they don't know how many books they haven't read, and some people may understand these situations and some may not.

They may just want to live.

Whoever lives better with them, they will follow, and whoever has great benefits with them, they can die with whoever.

This is the common people.

Therefore, Chen Shanhe always reminds himself to do things that are beneficial to the common people, and not to forget his position. He came from the common people, and of course he must return to the common people.

The village chiefs of the 16 villages, as well as some respectable people, and even young people who heard that the death camp was going to help volunteered to come here were all received by Chen Shanhe.

"Everyone, young and old, when you heard what Chen said, you rushed over without asking why, and there are still many people who came here spontaneously. I am very pleased with that!
Recently, the corn I planted is about to ripen, it will be the last few days!

So, I want you to help me collect the leaves on those corn stalks!
I am not raising seventy or eighty horses. With us soldiers, they have to train and defend, and they are too busy.

So I have to ask you to help, let you help harvest the leaves, and harvest the corn in two days!
Take care of the meal! "

Yes, it's the food.

But eating is enough.

All young and old think so.

Because rice, white flour steamed buns are enough, and the most important thing is canned meat.

Although the canned meat is a little less, it is meat after all!
They were happy in their hearts. While eating, they whispered to the people sitting next to them, saying that the trip was worthwhile.

After eating, you can also visit the training of the soldiers in the Death Battalion, and also visit the newly established cavalry company. They are in a hurry to cooperate with the horses for training!

Finally, I went to the 40 acres of cornfields.

Then they saw the cornfields that surprised them.

No matter how high the corn stalk is, even if a person stands up and straightens his hand, he will not be able to reach the top of the corn stalk.

One mu of land, at least a few thousand plants, maybe two or three thousand!

Or three or four thousand?

There are two or three corn cobs on each corn stalk. These corn cobs are long and big. The village head of Dahezhuang Village couldn't help but stretch out his hand and break off the coating of a corn cob, and saw a long row of corn cobs inside. A row of plump and large corn kernels.

Can't help but marvel.

His exclamation attracted all the people around. They are all farmers, and they all know how many corn kernels will be produced when a stick of corn grows like this?

There are three to four thousand trees per mu of land, and one corn stalk grows three to four corn cobs, even if there are two or three, then calculate it like this.

Take back all these corn cobs, dry and thresh them, and one mu of land will weigh at least 1500 to 2000 catties.

"God..."

What is the concept of 1500~2000 catties?
You must know that they use the fields to grow wheat, and one mu of land can only produce 100 to 300 catties.

300 jin is a minority, usually around 200 jin, and the yield is higher than 200 jin, which is fertile land and well cared for.

I heard that someone can grow 400 catties of wheat per mu, but I just heard that it has nothing to do with Susukida in these mountainous areas.

But the place in front of me is a slope!
Moreover, they are all people who grow old land. At a glance, they can see that this piece of land is newly opened, and it is obviously a new land opened for planting this piece of corn.

In the new land, wheat cannot be grown, and even if wheat can be grown, the yield will not be high. The new land is, after all, a new land.

However, in their cognition, sweet potatoes can be grown in Xindi, and the sweet potatoes grow very large in the first and second years of planting, and then gradually become smaller in size.

Because the loose soil in this newly opened mud field is conducive to the growth of sweet potatoes, the sweet potatoes will grow bigger in the first and second years.

But in the 3rd and 4th years, after the land gradually tightens, the size of the sweet potatoes will gradually decrease.

Maybe it's a problem of fertility, maybe it's a problem of the land slowly compacting.

But they didn't know that the corn planted in the new land could produce such a high yield, and it wasn't a matter of high yield, which was beyond their imagination.

You must know that in this era, corn is usually only harvested at about 400 catties per mu, and they have not planted corn for many years in this area, and the harvest is usually due to various circumstances.

So they don't grow corn in this area.

But even if they don't grow corn, even if they haven't been out of the county, they also know that the yield of corn is usually only about 300 or 400 catties, not too much.

But what about the area in front of you?In any case, it looks like there must be about 1500 to 2000 catties.

What does such a high yield represent?
The old and young farmers in front of them have little knowledge, but it doesn't mean they are stupid. Of course they know what the high yield in front of them represents?
This is only 16 to [-] mu of land. If all of them are planted with corn, what will be the result?
You must know that they have been settled, and only need to pay 20% to 30% of the public grain.

Pay 30% in wartime, and pay 20% when the little devil is beaten away.

If one mu of land harvests 1000 catties, how much grain can they harvest in a year?
They didn't dare to think about it, but when things that they usually dare not even think about were in front of them, they couldn't help it, and everyone's breathing became heavy.

Chen Shanhe walked over, he knew that the old and young men in front of him were all shocked, shocked, and finally it was his turn to play.

"What's up, everyone!

It is not yet time to break off the corn cobs, and you have to wait another 3 to 5 days before these corn kernels will be at their fullest, and they are still too tender!
But we can tear off some of the leaves of the corn stalks first! "

An old farmer stood up: "Sir, don't talk about it!
Otherwise, let us mow horse grass for you!
Now tearing off these leaves and delaying the growth of these corn cobs, that would be a sin!
Never pull the leaves! "

All the old and young men around are farmers, and they are all worried that tearing off the leaves will affect the growth of corn cobs.

They all said aloud, don't pull the leaves or anything.

As soon as Chen Shanhe heard it, he knew that they didn't know much about growing corn.

After all, it is true. They are not very good at growing potatoes, let alone growing corn.

At this time, there was no TV, let alone radios, and no production technicians from the Academy of Agricultural Sciences went down to the village to instruct the people on how to plant.

Therefore, at this time, ordinary people only grow sweet potatoes and wheat that they are familiar with.

But they don't know how to pick the seedlings of sweet potatoes and let them grow wildly, so the yield is not high.

Wheat is not very productive either.

So Chen Shanhe said with a smile: "Everyone, don't worry, don't worry!

In fact, the time to break off the corn cobs is only 3 to 5 days. At this time, it does not matter whether there are leaves or not!
But we don't want to break off every corn stalk, but we still need to leave two or three leaves.

In addition to feeding the horses, breaking off the leaves in this way has another advantage, that is, we can see the mice when they climb up to steal the corn.

In addition, let me tell you that after breaking off all the corn leaves, I will ask you to do something for me!
So, please hurry up and do it!

After breaking off the leaves on the corn stalks, the next step is hard work! "

(Don't say that ordinary people are born to farm, this is impossible.

The reason why the farming techniques in rural areas are better than those in ancient times is that for a period of time, the state will send technicians from the Academy of Agricultural Sciences to the countryside to guide the people in their work.

In our hometown, technicians from the Provincial Academy of Agricultural Sciences were dispatched before, and I heard that this is also one of their jobs.

Just like the graduation thesis of the Academy of Agricultural Sciences on raising pigs and ducks, I heard that someone planted a cucumber as a graduation thesis. The cucumber was stolen and then failed.

I still remember that one raised a rabbit, and the rabbit was stolen and eaten, and another raised a hen, and I heard that the hen was also stolen!
There are always many strange ways for students of the Academy of Agricultural Sciences to fail their courses! )
　"Three Kingdoms of the Earth: I Have a Game Simulator" is a book written by a friend. He wrote a new vest opened by an old author who wrote quite well.
