People are in the Tang Dynasty, creating a mythical dynasty

Chapter 62 A must for crossing the farm, on potatoes
Qin Huaidao and Cheng Chuliang started their careers as contractors. This was a novel experience for them. No matter how unwilling they were to accept it, they could only bite the bullet to prevent Li Ming from making a small report at this moment. .

And Li Ming after explaining the matter.

He didn't completely treat it as a hands-off shopkeeper, but continued to be busy in the Shaofu.

This time he hired a few carpenters.

After two days of tinkering, a tool was slowly formed.

And this is a wheelbarrow.

Unicycles are commonly known as "chicken carts", "second in command" and "earth carts".

The unicycle uses the principle of leverage to bring the load resistance point closer to the fulcrum (ie the wheel) to make its own operation efficient, and also to share the load on the unicycle and the operator, because the unicycle makes it easy to move heavy or large loads.

It is distributed in many parts of the country in later generations.Before the popularization of modern means of transportation, it was a portable tool for transporting goods and carrying people, especially in the north, where it almost played the same role as a donkey.

Cross hoes, wheelbarrows, gantry cranes, these are extremely common in the infrastructure of the previous life.

It can even be said to be an artifact.

But even the cross hoe doesn't have enough iron for him to squander, and the only thing he can do is a wheelbarrow.

Although there have been unicycles in China for a long time, compared with the unicycles of later generations, the unicycles of this era still have some defects here and there.

So Li Ming directly built this new type of unicycle with the knowledge he had signed in.

Compared with the old-fashioned wheelbarrow, it is not only more stable on flat ground, but also has higher maneuverability in places where it is easy to lose balance, such as small, plank or raised roads, and more importantly, it is also easier to unload control.

"Build a hundred of these unicycles, and remember to send them to the engineering team within ten days."

As soon as he spoke, Li Ming ordered casually.

"promise!"

Several carpenters responded quickly.

Although ten days is a bit rushed, the size of the house can be reduced, and it is not a big problem to build [-] aircraft within ten days.

After arranging these things.

Li Ming's figure immediately went to check again.

Chicken and duck farms, and where earthworms are farmed.

More than a month has passed.

The size of chickens and ducks has not continued to grow on a large scale, but is in a relatively stable state.

The giveaway of chickens and ducks is still going on.

Now it has gradually spread to the whole Guanzhong.

A large number of people have already received chickens and ducks.

Although it is not completely free, it is almost the same. After all, a chicken or a duckling only needs to be returned. In the eyes of most simple people, even if there is a risk, it is impossible to kill them all.

This is naturally very fast.

In this kind of large-scale gift.

All the chickens and ducks are quickly consumed, and it is naturally impossible to expand the scale.

As for worm farming.

This period of time has expanded a lot.

The number of earthworms has also reached a terrifying level, and it can even basically satisfy the feeding of [-] chickens and ducks.

Now that it has moved to the entire Shaofu, perhaps the only thing that has not been able to develop is the pig raising.

The little piglets he bought before have gradually grown up now.

However, Li Ming showed no signs of expanding the scale.

There is no way, people don't have enough food in this day and age, so there is no surplus to raise pigs.

Although pigweed can be fed, the growth of pigweed fed to pigs is too slow.

Li Ming also had to suppress his thoughts.

Also temporarily suppressed that divine book.

We can only wait for the subsequent locusts to ferment.

Or wait for something better to check in.

And it seemed that the system heard his voice.

When the sun shines the next morning.

Heralds the arrival of a new day.

Check in as always.

"Sign in!"

"Sign in successfully!"

"Congratulations, you have obtained ten catties of potato characteristic No. 1301 experimental variety!"

Li Ming didn't pay much attention to the flash of white light.

"potato?"

He muttered to himself, a little puzzled, but soon when he saw a small bag of yellow lumpy objects appearing in front of his eyes, his pupils instantly widened.

"Potatoes, potatoes!"

Words almost couldn't help blurting out.

At this moment, even if he was calm enough, he couldn't calm down at this moment.

potato.

He never thought that at this moment he would actually sign up for Tudou.

Compared to everything before it, this thing is a true artifact.

No exaggeration.

Because potatoes can be worthy of this title.

Compared with rice, wheat, and even millet in this era, potatoes are truly high-yielding grains.

Today, the yield of rice per mu is only more than 300 catties, and the yield of wheat and millet is even lower, only about [-] catties.

How many potatoes can be produced in a year.

Under normal circumstances, the yield per mu of potatoes is about 2000-5000 catties; the yield of non-heavy cropping land is higher, up to about 8000 catties; some good potato varieties, coupled with scientific management, can even reach tens of thousands of catties per mu.

Although this is in the future world, in this era without pesticides and fertilizers, it is basically impossible to achieve a yield of [-] jin per mu, but it is not a big problem to produce [-] jin per mu.

Especially the potato in front of me is no ordinary potato.

It's an experimental species.

The right hand picked up a manual that appeared next to it.

The text on it came into view.

In an instant, Li Ming understood where the potatoes came from.

This is a product of the laboratory.

Compared with ordinary potatoes, he has higher yield and stronger disease resistance.

More importantly, he will not degenerate when he reaches the next generation, and if there is no accident, he can retain his characteristics permanently.

Obviously, this has a greater advantage over ordinary potatoes.

Even at this moment, Li Ming looked forward to it.

Although Datang has gone through nine years of recuperation during the reign of his cheap grandfather, production and life have basically recovered, and food is no longer in short supply as it was at the beginning.

But food is extremely important in any era.

It's more important than money.

Whether a dynasty can be stable, or whether it can be strong depends on the dynasty's grain production and reserves.

If a country wants to be strong, food is indispensable.

And in this way, in other words, it seems to make sense.

That is, the more grain output, the stronger the national strength.

Thinking of this, his gaze at these potatoes became even brighter.

National power, that is national power.

Eyes with excitement.

The next moment Li Ming didn't hesitate anymore, he picked up the ten catties of potatoes, and quickly walked towards Shaofu.

With this artifact.

Of course he couldn't wait for this moment.

It just so happens that the greenhouse is now a little empty, and it is completely possible to start planting.
