Chapter 1016: Grain Is Here From Julu City

"Shouzhuo, these wheat seedlings grow better than those in Chang'an!" As soon as the wheat seedlings came out, those experienced soldiers immediately saw the difference. Compared with these, the wheat seedlings grown in Chang'an's fertile fields look thin and weak.

"What's the matter? Although there is a river next to it, this land is obviously not as fertile as Chang'an's?" This is the raw land they just reclaimed. It can't compare to the cultivated land in Chang'an, but the wheat seedlings in front of them are growing so well. Everyone was a little puzzled.

"It's the wheat that grows well, and everyone is willing to work hard, so we have such a strong wheat seedling, but we can't relax. We have to fertilize and weed in the future, so that the big guys can eat enough." Of course, it is different. Are the high-yielding fine varieties cultivated by scientific seedlings comparable to the wheat varieties of the Tang Dynasty?

This is the wheat seed suitable for the local climate that Shen Long specially bought in later generations. In today's era, it is a big killer. It can't be said that the yield is double that of the best land in the Guanzhong Plain, half more than that. There is absolutely no problem; in addition, apart from wheat seeds, Shen Long has also prepared other big killers. If this is done, it is not hopeless to double it.

"Everyone has worked hard a while ago, but we can't rest yet. Next, I will take you to raise earth dragons." Shen Long has inspected in later generations. Some people also raise earthworms in this land for feeding chickens and making fertilizer. With fertilizer, these wheats can achieve higher yields, and with a large number of chickens, the soldiers can eat more meat, and only when they are full can they have the strength to fight. Of course, Shen Long understands.

Now wheat and potatoes have been planted in the field. In some marginal areas, Shen Long also asked people to plant some peppers. Now there are earthworms that can be fed to the chickens. When the harvest is harvested in the future, the big guys can eat the big plate chicken happily , this famous dish was born in the Western Regions about a thousand years in advance.

When the time comes, a big pot full of chicken will be brought up. Eat the chicken and potatoes first, and then mix a plate of strips with the oily vegetable juice. This taste, tsk tsk, makes people drool just thinking about it?

"Shouzhuo, can this earthworm be raised? What's the use of raising it? Is it to be used to cure diseases?" Earthworms are called earthworms in traditional Chinese medicine, and they are often used in medicine.

"It can be regarded as a cure, but it's not for the diseases you think, but for the diseases of hunger and gluttony." Shen Long said with a smile, seeing the faces of the soldiers changed, he quickly added, "Yangdi Dragons are not for you to eat directly. When you were at home, you also dug up earth dragons to feed your mother? If we raise a lot of earth dragons, we can feed thousands of chickens. By then, I will wait for one chicken a day It's not impossible, you can still eat chicken every now and then!"

Of course, large-scale breeding will face the danger of epidemic diseases, but when Shen Long was in Liangshan, he specialized in this project, accumulated some experience, and can basically use the existing technical level to curb these problems; raising sheep takes too much time. It’s long, so I can only start with the big plate chicken. It may take a while to eat lamb skewers and finger meat.

Many people have done the work of digging earthworms to feed chickens when they were young, but they never thought that earthworms can be raised, but seeing the green wheat seedlings in the field today, everyone is full of confidence in Shen Long, and they keep on catching them. If such good wheat seedlings have been planted, then he said that if the earth dragon can be raised, he will definitely be able to raise it, and the big guys will follow him and it will be over.

These days, Shen Long took the lead every time he worked, and now there are examples in front of him. The big guys trust him very much, so they follow Shen Long to work.

First choose a dark and humid plot with a thick humus layer, loosen the soil and mix in more humus, and then put the high-yield earthworm seedlings brought from later generations into it... At the beginning, everyone felt a little aggrieved, Because this job is really uncomfortable,

But when the earthworms grew slowly, everyone was shocked.

"Shouzhuo, how can there be so many earthworms growing in this field?" Just digging out a handful of soil, you can see countless earthworms wriggling in the soil, and looking at the area of ​​the earthworm field, the soldiers were shocked I was stunned, "There are so many earth dragons, how many chickens can you raise?"

At this moment, they really believe that in the future they will be able to eat an egg every day, and they will be able to eat chicken every now and then! Thinking of this, the soldiers couldn't help swallowing, and looking at these earthworms, they didn't feel so hateful, but became cute.

Although they are the most affluent citizens of the Tang Dynasty in the whole world, in the feudal era, it was not easy for ordinary people to eat meat. According to the standard Shen Long said earlier, ordinary landlords could not do it; look In the earthworm field, and looking at the growing wheat seedlings not far away, the soldiers are full of fighting spirit when they think that they will soon live such a fairy life.

"Shouzhuo, you found what we were looking for!" Back in the city, another good news came. The team that Shen Long sent out came back with some strange stones, some of which were like black charcoal. Some of them are shining with yellow golden light.

"Okay, with these things, we can finally gain a firm foothold!" These are coal mines and pyrite. According to the information of later generations, there are many kinds of mineral deposits near Juliu City, and coal mines and pyrite are the main ones. Shen Long chose Juliu City to guard the mines, not only because the nearby land can be farmed.

With food, the soldiers will have the strength to fight, and with iron ore and coal mines, he can smelt iron, fully arm the soldiers under his command, eat enough and have more elite weapons. They are worried about the enemy coming to attack, but they have to consider the question of which direction to attack the enemy.

A few months later, Guo Xin, who was stationed in Qiuci, talked about Shen Long again with his cronies, "Yuanzheng has been in Juliu City for so long, I don't know if the food they brought is enough to eat, let's calculate our own food." , see if we can squeeze Yuanzheng through?"

"General Guardian, we are all old, and it's okay to eat less. We are willing to go hungry for a meal or two if we can let the children eat well!" Food is equally precious to them, but these white-haired veterans take Shen Long The young men from Chang'an they brought with them became their own nephews. For this reason, they would rather starve themselves than feed their nephews.

"It's just that we need to save some military rations. Duhu Yang sent news that Jieyujiasi seems to be planning to attack Tubo again recently, and we must be dragged in when the time comes." Someone reminded.

During the discussion, someone rushed in excitedly, "Daduhu, Daduhu, Juliucheng sent people here, and they even brought us food!"

Um? what's going on? Why did they send us food instead?
