Chapter 2349: Give a Comparison of the Views and Practices

"No, give me potatoes, send the potatoes over."

Li Yi refused at first, but suddenly changed his mind.

"Can potatoes be grown? The grain yield in Xiaohai is low, so we can only graze."

Yao Chong, who had studied agronomy, asked expectantly.

Li Yi nodded: "Potatoes are very adaptable, and the requirements for land are not very high. It is more convenient than growing any other crops."

"In this case, why should we give them to the Later Turks? They will recover if they have crops."

Su Yan naturally objected when he heard that potatoes could be grown in such a cold place.

"Give them 5,000 kilograms of potatoes. They don't produce enough to eat in one year, so they can only continue to use them as seeds.

In addition, the local soil is not good enough, and the potato yield is low. They eat a little in the second year and keep it as seeds.

They will get used to farming and add other crops.

In summer, they grow vegetables, dry them in the shade or in the sun, and keep them for winter.

When they finally think they can grow potatoes, I will free up my hands.

Turn them into our own people. I will detoxify the potato seeds that have been planted there for a few years. Maybe the yield will be very high."

Li Yi told everyone why he gave potato seeds. He didn't give them too many potatoes, because they didn't have time to rely on potatoes to grow and develop.

By the way, let them help cultivate potato varieties, which can grow anywhere.

For farming nations, having potatoes is like having a magic weapon. They can go wherever they want and no longer worry about not being able to occupy the territory.

Song Jing raised his eyebrows and said nothing. He no longer opposed war. He had money, could afford to fight, and had good weapons.

"The tractor has been plowing for four consecutive days. Shouldn't it take a break?" Song Jing said this.

"The tractor used for plowing should be plowed all the time to check the wear and tear of each component. There are special people responsible for maintenance and record."

Li Yi did not feel sorry for the tractor, nor for the steam engine rented out outside.

Use it hard, don't be afraid of it breaking down. After recording the situation, it is better to modify and improve it.

"Go and have a look. In a few days, it will be the Shangsi Festival, and the crops that should be planted should be planted."

Li Longji wanted to take a look, mainly to see the happy expressions of the people when they were watching.

Others also had a good time to relax. The workload was too heavy recently.

Spring plowing in Luoyang has just begun, and it is a busy period elsewhere. The river channel is repaired and reinforced, and local reports are coming one after another.

The group took a half-hour train ride and arrived at Xiaoluonan Village.

There are many lands here, and there are many cows in the villagers' homes.

Tractors and steam engines are plowing the land, and cows are plowing like cows. One cow is required to plow one and a half acres of land a day.

Tractors and steam engines plow 24 hours a day, and Yulin flying cavalry rotates to operate.

It is relatively safe here, and the villagers will not harm everyone.

Li Longji and others got off the car, and the people over there saw it.

The village chief Ma Jin came trotting over, bowed and smiled.

"Is the fertilizer ready for this year?" Li Longji asked kindly.

"Okay, everything is ready. Let's plant new varieties and take care of them carefully." Ma Jin nodded repeatedly.

"Save the seeds for this year and plant them next year. You can eat some of them yourself.

The small potatoes can be eaten this year, but the kidney beans cannot be used for planting. Pick them and try them.

When the pumpkin is ripe, remember to save the seeds when you eat it."

Li Longji arranged that he thought pumpkin was better, and it would not delay saving seeds when eating.

"Okay!" Ma Jin grinned, thinking about eating it for a long time.

There are also roasted sweet potatoes. I tasted a small one in winter. It was sweet!

A group of people walked over there, and someone came forward. It was Xiao Wei, the county magistrate of Feishan County. He was in the village.

He had to greet him more. After the greeting, he looked at Li Longji expectantly and asked me about my data.

"Does County Magistrate Xiao have time today?" Li Longji asked.

"There is a household in my county now... eh!" Xiao Wei said as soon as he opened his mouth, and paused after saying a few words: "It's not that I'm free, but I have something to ask the village to help."

He was quite depressed, why don't you ask me about the situation in the county?

"What's the matter?" Li Longji wanted to know.

"Borrowing cattle, Xiaoluonan Village plowed the land, I took the cattle away and lent them to the families in the county who lacked cattle for farming.

The county temporarily lent out the concentrated feed for the cattle, and the families who borrowed the cattle cut the grass themselves.

After the harvest, according to the price, the grain will be used to offset the borrowed concentrated feed, without interest.

Last year, Xiaoluonan Village lent money to others, without asking for money, as long as the cattle were fed well. The village has money and knows how to help others."

Xiao Wei finally got the opportunity and said it quickly.

Don't forget to praise Xiaoluonan Village. Every family in the village has a large courtyard, a two-story building, a wing room, a warehouse, and a fixed cellar.

There is a large cement drying field at the head and end of the village, and every family has cattle and horses.

A village earns more money than a county in a year, but the clothes the villagers wear when working are still the same.

At the same time, he donated money to Beitianfang in the county and sent meat to the children of the county school.

"Not bad, Xiaoluonan Village is good."

Li Longji was happy. Look, my country is kind.

"When the village is in disaster, others help the village. When others are in need, they should help."

Ma Jin looked at Li Yi. In the most difficult time, Lijiazhuangzi and Henan Prefecture both sent people.

Now that there is a lot of money, you can't be rich and unkind, otherwise you will be unlucky.

Others can't eat, UU reading wｗｗ.uukanshｕ.net, they may come to steal and rob.

As he spoke, he led people upstairs. It was a solitary building with three floors and a total of sixty rooms, covering a large area.

It is used to house the people who keep the land, and it is used as a greenhouse in the winter, a vegetable field in the summer, and the winter wheat section to keep the birds away when it is time to harvest.

Arriving on the third floor, Li Longji stood on the verandah and looked through the binoculars. He saw a car dragging a plow away.

"How much land can be plowed in one day?" Li Longji asked.

"The tractor covers sixty acres a day and one night. The size of the steam engine depends on the size. The small one is thirty acres, the medium one is fifty acres, and the large one is seventy acres."

Ma Jin knew, he asked every day.

The big steam locomotive is faster than the tractor, but it is too big. It is several times larger than the tractor and presses on the ground.

So that the place where it was pressed again would be plowed again, and it would not be pressed again when it finally left.

Li Longji nodded: "Based on the proportion of cattle farming, is it worthwhile to hire a motorcycle?"

“It’s not cost-effective in terms of quantity. If I have cattle and I hire a car, I’ll suffer a loss. I’ll lose about three cents per acre of land.

It's cost-effective to compare according to time. It's too fast. Finish the plowing quickly and don't rush to do other things, especially fertilization.

From the perspective of the cost of raising cattle, cattle can live for a few more years, and one day is now equivalent to plowing one and a half acres.

When lending it out, they were asked not to allow one cow to plow more than two acres a day. If they found out, they would not lend it out. "

Ma Jin made a comparison from three aspects. Generally speaking, car rental companies, especially those without large livestock, are better.

It doesn't matter if others rent cattle, Xiaoluonan Village does not rent it for free. It requires money or other things.

"Add manpower." Li Yi said: "You need plows to farm with oxen. You don't have to worry about renting equipment. People can make money when they go out to work."

"Yes, yes, Dongzhu Li is right."

Ma Jin slapped his forehead and forgot about people.

I don't know where else, but the labor in my village is very rare, and I have to build a hot spring hut.
