Any animal or plant has its own specific living environment. If you put animals and plants in an environment that is not suitable for you, it will seriously affect the growth of such animals and plants, and even produce mutations. For example, oranges are a good example. After years of trials, oranges that grow in the warmth of the south are still oranges, while oranges that live in the cold area to the north have turned into orange.

Citrus aurantium, also known as stinky orange, is actually another plant that is not the same plant as orange, but the two are very similar in many aspects, and it looks more like a plant developed. In the field of botany, oranges and citrus aurantium belong to Rutaceae plants, and they are also plants of Citrus subfamily. It is no exaggeration to say that they are developed from the same plant.

In other words, a long time ago, oranges and citrus aurantium were developed from the same plant, and their provenances are the same, both are plants of the citrus subfamily.

This mutation is forced to change under extreme survival conditions. If it is not changed, it can only be dead end. There is no better way.

Of course, if through human intervention, this mutation will become faster and the effect will be better. After all, human IQ is very high, which can allow the development of animal and plant mutations in a direction that is beneficial to people, such as The pygmy date palm tree is very good, which not only facilitates the artificial fruit picking, but also has a higher yield. After all, the nutrients absorbed by the trunk are given to the fruit, so how can the fruit not grow fast and good.

But Li An knows that this date palm tree can only grow in tropical deserts. If it is transported to Chang’an City, it will definitely not grow well. Even if it can barely survive, it can be very fruitful. The problem, even if the result, the size and number of fruits may be very small, or there may be a phenomenon of cranberries. Just like oranges, plants that are placed north of the Huaihe River cannot survive very well. Even if they survive, they bear fruit. The taste of the fruit is not tasty.

Since the fruit produced is not delicious, then it is not brought back. If you want to eat dates, you can go directly to the market to buy it. On the streets of Great Tang, there are still many vendors selling dates. After Tang opened the railway and sea route to the west, commercial transportation will become extremely convenient. In the future, the newly picked dates in Egypt will only take ten days to be transported to Chang’an City.

However, Li An feels that Ottoman ’s men are also well-intentioned. If they refuse directly, they always feel a little inappropriate. It does n’t matter if they are accepted, even if they are not alive in Chang’an City.

“Okay! Since you are sincere, I will accept it. However, I will not go back to Chang’an City yet. I have to go to Spain for a lap. When I come back, I will be ready.”

Li An started to accept the kindness of Ottomans.

“Well, Minister Li is assured that I will prepare the best date palm tree for you and send it directly to the north of the Red Sea to your steam boat.”

Ottoman’s men spoke.

It can be seen that the considerations of Ottoman’s men are still in place, and this makes Li An very satisfied.

“Okay, I’ll leave it to you.”

Li An looked back towards his subordinates and opened his mouth.

Li An does not need to wait in person for gifts and other small things, let the subordinates do it, anyway, it is not difficult, the subordinates are fully competent, and Li An has more important things to do, no Too much idle time has spent energy on such small things.

Since Da Lao Yuan came here, I can’t just take a glance and leave! Li An felt it was necessary to spend some more time in the date palm garden, to pick and so on in person. Anyway, when he came, he just glanced away and it was too inappropriate.

Li An asked the Ottoman department to prepare the tools for picking, that is, the basket and so on, and Li An had already prepared the gloves and sleeves himself.

Generally, the old 100 surname picking dates is impossible to prepare gloves, which seems too hypocritical and will make people ridiculous, but Li An is distinguished and Li Xiaolu is the beauty of Didi. So, no one dares to say anything, In addition to Li An 2 people, many subordinates and Ottoman subordinates also accompanied picking. Anyway, these dates are actually worthless, and Li An can also pay.

There are a lot of gloves to pay, but Li An only let his subordinates take 2 pairs of gloves, and each of them has a set with Li Xiaolu, and the others who accompany the picking together can only be used directly. Anyway, the dates are not tied, they are used directly. It’s dirty, that’s all, not at all.

Because the date palm trees here are very short and not much different from people ’s height, you do n’t need to use any tools to increase the height, you can just pick them on foot. The narrow distance leads to a narrow pedestrian aisle. There are many places where people cannot pass directly. They need to bend down and drill under the tree, which often makes the clothes dirty.

As a farmer who makes a living by planting date palm trees, it is normal to stain his clothes in order to pick date palms. Not at all is not a relationship, but a symbol of labor, and does not require work. For Li An, who has a very high status, it is really not necessary to soil his clothes. Li Xiaolu is a dancing girl, who is also not a working person, and is also a person who loves the beauty very much. Dirty own clothes are also her reluctance.

Two people who don’t want to get their clothes dirty picking dates in the dense date forest together is a perfect match, at least they are the same kind of people.

Of course, the subordinates of Ottoman are not low in position, and they are usually non-working guys, let them shuttle among the branches, they are also reluctant, so, like Li An, choose a wider road location Picking, and where you need to bend down to enter, choose to give up. Anyway, as long as you can pick the date, it ’s enough. They just accompanied Li An to play that ’s all, not at all. If you scratch it and make your face full of dirt, it will be too much for you.

The date palm trees are all planted manually, so they are all row by row. Each row of date palm trees is almost a straight line. The distance between the trees is very short, and some have a human distance. , Some are directly nailed together, simply cannot pass normally.

The distance between the rows is slightly larger, but there is also a difference. Some 2 rows of date palm trees are separated by a tree, and some are separated by 2 3 trees, so the spacing is still there. Very different.

Of course, most of the distances are relatively small, and only a few are relatively large, which is also a compromise distance designed for the convenience of harvesting and increased yield.

If the distances are all large, the number of Fruit Trees planted must be very small, and if the distances are small, it is very troublesome when picking.

After all, for so many Fruit Trees, picking with baskets is definitely not acceptable. To facilitate picking and transportation, vehicles must be used, and the passage of vehicles requires roads. If it is too narrow, the vehicles cannot pass. Therefore, there should be a wide distance between every few rows to facilitate the passage of vehicles.

When you need to pick, you can coordinate the work of the family. Each person is responsible for a vacancy, and a person is responsible for the cart. The two pickers put the collected dates in the basket first. When the basket is full After that, pass through the gap between the date palms, pour the dates into the vehicle, and then go back to picking. In this way, the most efficient way to pick a sufficient number of dates is the highest efficiency .

Of course, there are wider roads in the whole palm date forest. After all, the roads just picked are only for small carts. Massive date palms also require larger vehicles. In addition, the main road It also requires double the width of the vehicle to stagger the vehicle when busy, further increasing the efficiency of picking.

When Li An came here, he saw that the farmers here employed a lot of working people, and they also prepared a lot of vehicles, including horse-drawn carts with a large cargo volume and small carts that were manually driven.

Generally, farmers with smaller planting scales choose to pick them by themselves. Farmers with larger planting numbers are different. They are too busy to be picked by themselves. They must be picked by others, as long as the wages are lower than selling coconuts. The profit of jujube can be considered.

If the price of date palms falls sharply, the labor cost of asking people to pick is higher than the profit of selling dates, so all the people who plant date palms will not invite people to pick them, and would rather let the dates be rotten on the trees Will choose to pick, after all, no one is willing to do something that has no interest.

The output in this era is still relatively small, so the plunge in high-yield prices is still relatively small. In general, prices are relatively stable.

The reason why the price plunges in the later generations is often because the technical conditions are too superior, the output of one acre of land can reach ten times of this era, and the labor efficiency is increased by dozens of times. So, 100 people in later generations are responsible for planting The output of the crop can easily exceed the income of 1,000,000 people planted in this era. Even in different countries in the later generations, the gap in labor productivity is amazing.

For example, in countries across the ocean, 2,000,000 people cultivated the entire country, accounting for less than 1% of the population, and the food produced is also very surplus, which is a model of modern cultivation, and some countries have more than half of the people. All of them are farming, but they still can’t fill the belly of 100 old people. The gap is obvious.

Of course, for many countries with large populations, if mechanized cultivation is suddenly implemented, suddenly 100000000 million farmers will become 1000000 farmers, then, what do the extra 100000000 million farmers do to let them drink the northwest wind? 10000 Once the peasant uprising is done, this is a very real problem. You can’t look at what others do or do by yourself. You need to adjust step by step and gradually reduce the number of farmers to avoid causing turmoil in the entire society.

The agriculture of the Great Tang Empire is gradually advancing mechanization, which greatly reduces the agricultural demand for manpower. For this reason, it is possible to liberate more surplus labor and let these labor enter industrial production, thereby promoting the modernization of the Great Tang Empire industry .

This process is carried out step by step, not overnight. Because of the lack of agricultural machinery production capacity, not too much labor force is liberated, and the development of industrialization can fully digest this part of the excess manpower, so that they can easily Live on.

Li An chooses a gap that allows small carts to pass through. The walk here is very smooth, does not let the branches scrape the clothes, and you can also pick the date palm fruit you like.

Most people picking date palm fruits are picked from bunch to bunch. After being transported back, they are processed slowly, which is also fast enough, but Li An is not the labor hired by the landlord. Of course, it does not need to be desperately picked. It is a selective picking, which is to pick the largest and fullest coconut fruit. For the color that is not good-looking, the shape is not good, and the insect eyes, of course, it will not be required.

Although they are all fruits of a tree, the size is still a little different, and it is impossible to make every date dates exactly the same. There is no one and the same leaf in the world. Similarly, there is no one and the same in the world. Date palms, even if they are the same variety, the fruits of the same date palm tree are also different in size, there will always be some differences, of course, the difference will not be too big, not as big as watermelon is so big, small Is smaller than rice grains, which is impossible. Except for very few fruits that have not grown, the smallest normal fruit has half the size of the largest fruit, that is, the gap between the larger and smaller fruit, At most it is only 2 times, and more is impossible.

A date palm tree can hold about 5 6 bunches of fruit, and many can have more than a dozen bunches, and each bunch can have about 100 date palms, definitely not more than 1000, and the total output of a tree is tens of pounds It ’s more than 100 pounds, but there are many date palm trees in the orchard. If they all add up, it ’s a huge amount. It needs a big cart and a big cart to pull it out.

Li An paced and observed, while Li Xiaolu next to him was holding a non-hit basket, ready to obey Li An’s orders.

“Minister Li, there are a lot of red and big dates, let’s start picking from here!”

Li Xiaolu opened the mouth and said with a smile.

Li An nodded, opened the mouth and said: “Okay, since Little Beauty values ​​this string, then we will pick it together and start.”

After using the gloved hand, look for the largest and reddish date among the bunch of dates, gently twist it down, and put it in the small basket on Li Xiaolu’s chest, which is considered to be picked. Harvested.

Like Li An, Li Xiaolu uses the same method to find the best date palm, unscrew it, and put it in the basket in front of him.
