Space Struggle After becoming a concubine, I just want to farm

Chapter 211 Vegetables
Emperor Qinglong felt that he had gained enough strength and confidence that Qingguo would be able to survive this disaster. Chengqian was also preparing to establish a prosperous era for Qingguo.

"By the way, although the food is enough, it is also good to make more preparations. Haven't the previous glass greenhouses been made? Although there are not many places currently in use, there are still some."

Ruyi suddenly remembered that glass houses are widely used in the modern north. The weather in the north is extremely cold in winter, and the survival rate of vegetables and fruits is low. The emergence of glass greenhouses has brought good news to the planting industry.

"Your Majesty, have you seen the effects of the glass greenhouse in the past few winters?" Ruyi's little head is still checking and filling in the gaps every day.

"Indeed, the glass greenhouse can be controlled. When the doors at both ends are opened, the temperature will drop. Once the sun is closed and the sun is shining, it is really warm inside." Emperor Qinglong himself visited it, and the Ministry of Industry also conducted experiments to find out how to make it better. Let the glass greenhouse grow crops.

"Well, the glass greenhouse is strong and durable. If the ridge is in a continuous triangle shape, it has strong resistance to wind and snow. It is also more conducive to heat preservation and moisture retention, keeping the temperature in the greenhouse at a stable level, and creating a stable temperature ecology for the crops in the greenhouse. The environment is more suitable for the growth of crops.”

Ruyi feels that there are still a few months left that cannot be wasted. I don’t know how long the extreme cold will last. The glass greenhouse is also an insurance. Maybe it is impossible to plant during the coldest time, but I don’t know if it can be used in the extreme cold.

"If the glass greenhouse is still too cold in extremely cold weather, you can also use charcoal fire to heat it inside, which will also have a significant effect on the greenhouse's defense against low-temperature frost damage." Ruyi said, her thoughts diverging.

"This method can only be used in small glass greenhouses." Emperor Qinglong also knew the principle and said so.

After hearing this, Ruyi had a new idea. "Then it would be better to let the people directly heat the kang house, surround it with stones, pick out some soil, and plant some vegetables and the like."

Emperor Qinglong's eyes lit up when he came up with this idea. The kang would definitely be burned anyway, so it would only take some effort to pick up the soil, and it would be feasible.

Therefore, people everywhere received strange notifications from the government.

Some experienced farmers have figured out the key points and can do it faster than anyone else, and it takes a lot of effort. It would be really good if they could eat some green vegetables in winter. Besides, it is cold and we have to burn the kang. .

The Ministry of Agriculture is now one of the top departments in the entire court, with a large number of talents. The key is the work they do. Results will be seen immediately in one or two years, which further stimulates the atmosphere of chasing each other in the ministry. This year you surpassed me. Then next year, I will definitely surpass you, so that a virtuous circle will start.

"My lord, there are three kinds of rice a year in the south of the Yangtze River. After the first three years of trial planting, the yield is getting higher and higher. Now other places are also waiting." The small official in charge of rice promotion said.

The seeds of three types of rice this year were obtained by Ruyi through space cheating. In fact, under the current conditions of Qingguo, two types of rice a year were the most suitable, but in order to save grain, I had to cheat when I could.

But after all, the conditions for three species a year are harsh, and only a few relatively hot and humid provinces and states in the south of the Yangtze River can be successfully grown.

Most of the southern plains still have two crops per year in the past three years. Early rice is sown in mid-April, transplanted in early May, and harvested in late July. Immediately after, late rice is transplanted. This is called double harvesting. Generally, it must be completed before the beginning of autumn, and late rice is harvested in late October. .

From the perspective of junior officials, the three types of rice produced each year in the south of the Yangtze River are already filling the granaries, and they can be distributed to various places as seeds.However, the emperor ordered that the grain should be kept aside from necessary planting.

As for the promotion of three kinds of rice a year in other areas, it will start next year.This little official was anxious and wanted to push it quickly. In this way, he would definitely get the most credit this year, at least better than Mr. Liu at the next table.

"Well, I will recommend it next year. I heard that there are three kinds of seeds a year that are more suitable for other areas. After all, the conditions in Jiangnan are superior in all aspects. It can be done there, but it may not be possible in other places. Don't worry, wait until next year. When the new seeds come, I’ll leave them to you.”

The top leader of the Ministry of Agriculture knew the inside story, so he had to temporarily deceive his subordinates.

These rices are waiting to help Qingguo survive the long and extremely cold days. It is said that this winter will be particularly cold and last longer than previous years. Then such weather is definitely not suitable for farming, and it may also affect next year's spring plowing, so save grain. Definitely more is better.
