Farming Lord of Crossing

Chapter 235 234. Busy Spring Plowing
The severe winter has passed, and the pattering spring rain has awakened the land that has been dormant in winter. This is the season of recovery of all things, the season of hope, and the season of spring plowing.

The citizens of Stanland, who have cultivated for a winter, are repairing farm tools, feeding Bass cattle, and preparing seeds, waiting for the arrangement of the mayor/village head.The farmland in Stanland is planned as a whole, and it is not for the leaders to plant whatever they want.

The village chiefs, agricultural officials, political officials, and druids gathered again to discuss how to carry out this year's spring plowing work, and Ross presided over the meeting.

Ross said seriously: "The annual spring plowing of the territory is the biggest thing, it is related to whether the people in the territory can have enough food and whether they can save surplus food.

Only when you allow the people to eat well, wear warm clothes, and have houses to live in, will the people truly recognize you officials and truly love me as a lord.The territory can also be truly stabilized, so that we can devote ourselves to the new round of construction and have time and energy to think about how to develop the territory. "

Everyone was taken aback when they heard Ross's words, but they immediately understood after thinking about it carefully.

Indeed, ordinary citizens just want to have a bite to eat, a piece of clothing to wear, a place to shelter from the wind and rain, and to lie comfortably in a warm house after a busy year, sipping porridge Multigrain porridge, eating bread.Of course, it would be even better if I could save a little money and buy some furniture.

As long as these requirements of the people are met, they will naturally follow you and obey your management arrangements.

"Faffia!" Seeing the performance of the crowd, Ross smiled slightly. The change in thinking and the improvement of management awareness were completed in such a subtle way. "What is the spring plowing plan for this year?"

Fafeya, an old farmer who has been working all day, is getting older, but his face has a dazzling brilliance: "Lord, Stan currently has a total of 140 mu of medicine fields, [-] mu of orchards, and [-] million mu of cultivated land.

After preliminary discussions, we plan to plant 50 mu of wheat and 30 mu of corn in the Four Leaf Basin.Last year, the 80 mu of wheat at one time had not been mobilized by Lord Blue to mobilize most of the people in Stan Town and tens of thousands of refugees to help harvest, and the loss would have been great. "As he spoke, Fafea glanced at Los, who made the decision last year, smiled and continued to report quickly, "10 acres of corn and 20 acres of potatoes are planted on the cultivated land near Stan Town.As for the rest of the arable land we have an idea.

The high-yield Hope No. 1, red corn, and purple potatoes developed by Mr. Druids, the grain produced by Stan Ling is enough to feed more than 10 people.So we plan to use 20 mu of cultivated land to plant various medicinal materials, after all, the value of medicinal materials is too high.But in this way, there will be insufficient manpower, which will delay the planting of the newly reclaimed [-] mu of cultivated land. "

Ross glanced at Fafea, and admitted with a smile without hesitation: "It was true that I wasn't considerate enough last year, but I had a good helper who took care of it for me." As he spoke, Ross' eyes fell on Bruce. , everyone immediately let out good-natured laughter.

Ross continued: "Your ideas are very good. When you are full, you have to think about how to fill the pockets of the people. Planting medicinal materials is a very effective way.

这样，今年四叶盆地种植35万亩小麦、30万亩玉米、15万亩土豆。斯坦镇种植12万亩小麦、5万亩土豆、8万米玉米。将药田的种植面积一次性扩大到25万亩。至于新开垦的20万亩农田，第一年种植也不会有多少收获，就简单的种植一些豆类植物肥田吧，明年再列入种植计划。”

After finishing speaking, Ross stroked his chin and said, "The output has increased, and the workload has also increased a lot, especially the number of farmers needed to plant medicine fields has at least doubled. Now the number of farmers has become a big problem instead! Therefore, Bruce must increase the recruitment of refugees this year, and then fill each village with a part of the labor force, especially the villages and towns that grow medicinal herbs."

"Yes, my lord!" Bruce nodded seriously.

"Okay!" Rose stood up and clapped his hands and said loudly, "Whether the citizens will be fed and clothed this year depends on whether the spring plowing work is done properly. Everyone, be sure to arrange and organize the manpower to complete the spring plowing work with all your strength!"

"Yes, Lord Lord!" Everyone agreed solemnly and relaxedly. After all, these people may not be very good at other things, but they are definitely good at farming.

On the second day, the entire Stanland was completely lively. The people of various villages and towns pulled the fat and strong Bass cattle that had been recuperating for a winter, or pulled the ox carts or dragged Iron plows, carrying hoes and other tools on their backs, walked to the fields.

As early as a few days ago, the industrious citizens had already sprinkled the farm manure they had hoarded for more than half a year on their farmland, hoping to make their crops grow better and harvest more food.

Soon the guards led a long convoy to bring over bags full of seeds full of vitality, and the leaders began planting with skilled and familiar neighbors and friends according to the arrangement of the village chief.

After all, although planting and harvesting are all planned and arranged by the territory, the food that the people can store in their own warehouses is all grown in their own land.

In order to avoid the recurrence of last year's farce, this year Farfea arranged to plant wheat, corn, and potatoes according to the proportion of each village and town, so that all the labor force can be fully mobilized, and the cultivation and harvest of crops will not be delayed.

Accompanied by the melodious folk songs full of hope and happiness of the old farmers, the yelling and commanding of the officials, and the cheerful meowing of the Bass cattle, Stan led the vigorous spring plowing kicked off.

Wheat, corn, potatoes, this spring plowing battle will last for more than a month before it comes to an end, sow the seeds of hope and wait for the harvest in autumn.

Ross and the others were not idle either, because he had to bear the consequences for himself to slap his head again and make random decisions.

A total of 15 mu of medicinal materials were newly planted at once. Although this work has been planned and prepared for a long time, more than a dozen types of medicinal materials that are relatively easy to feed and have high value have been selected, and the seeds and seedlings are also ready.

However, the cultivation of medicinal materials is not as simple as plowing and spreading the seeds in ordinary crops.Most of the medicinal materials have considerable requirements on the porosity of the soil, dryness and humidity, fertility and sunshine, even companion plants, and irrigation liquid. These ordinary farmers who grow crops do not know these things.

After discovering this situation, Luosi immediately transferred three-fifths of the medicine farmers who originally planted 10 mu of medicine fields to exchange with ordinary farmers, and let these experienced medicine farmers bring one or two ordinary farmers to teach them hand in hand. They grow medicinal herbs.

Even this was not enough, Ross could only take all the druids and apprentices out collectively, and went to the fields to repeatedly explain the main points and instructions to the leaders.During this period, Luo Si worked tirelessly to activate the seeds and seedlings of all medicinal materials, just to improve the germination rate and survival rate of the seeds, and prevent the farmers' hard work from being in vain.

During the spring plowing period, the druids had to run around in various potion planting areas, guiding and urging the people to plant potions.After all, crops are only the foundation of ordinary people's lives, and potions are the foundation of the development of Stanland.
