Chapter 143 Agricultural Area Construction

The yield of rice and wheat per mu in this new season is higher than before, increasing from 400 kilograms per mu to 420 kilograms per mu. With the joint blessing of the mill and the Temple of the Goddess of Life, as well as the sufficient irrigation of a large number of nearby canals, it has been greatly improved.

One thousand mu of wheat fields, 420 kilograms per mu, and a flour yield of 70%.

One thousand mu of rice fields also happens to have an output of about 420 kilograms per mu, with a rice yield of 70%, which is basically the same as the flour yield of wheat. After shelling, the most basic brown rice is produced, which is also one of the most commonly used staple foods in the territory.

There is not much difference in the per mu output of the two, but there is a big difference in eating as food.

The flour ground from wheat is mainly used to make noodles, and then used to make various easy-to-carry pasta, such as steamed buns and flatbreads. It can also be used to bake bread in a stove. After planting a large number of oil-producing crops in the future, you can consider making good things such as pancakes and fried dough sticks.

The rice produced by paddy fields is all used for the supply of staple food, although rice can also be ground into powder to produce smooth and soft powder, which is used to produce various soft, sweet and sticky foods, such as various cakes, green balls, and glutinous rice cakes.

However, the territory does not have so much redundant production to meet the demand for side dishes.

Diversified staple food is always good.

One thousand acres of rice produces a total of about 300,000 catties of brown rice, while one thousand acres of wheat produces about 300,000 catties of flour.

That is 600,000 catties of staple food. Without any side dishes, one catty a day is enough for the people of the entire territory to eat for 150 days, a full five months.

After a simple calculation in his heart, Ji Lin breathed a sigh of relief, showing a rare joy from the bottom of his heart.

Looking at the bundles of sugarcane carried on the shoulders of the people from the sugarcane fields, the long leaves of the sugarcane were cut off, and the green-skinned sugarcane bounced on the shoulders of the people.

They also have a harvest of cash crops.

The yield per mu of sugarcane is quite high. Judging from the sugarcane that has been harvested so far, one mu of land has an output of 2,000 kilograms, which is far less exaggerated than the 8,000 kilograms per mu of modern sugarcane.

However, with such a high yield per mu, the sugar yield is actually low, which is also much lower than that of modern sugarcane. One hundred kilograms of sugarcane can produce about ten kilograms of sucrose, but the yield per mu of these sugarcanes is not enough.

In order to deal with a large amount of sugarcane, Ji Lin had already exchanged for a special sugarcane sugar factory. Although a general sugar factory can convert a large amount of crops into sugar, the effect on specific varieties of crops is naturally not as good as that of a special sugar factory.

Ji Lin's deputy, agricultural director, construction director, and human resources director-Chongshan suggested so.

Chongshan believes that although his lord does not need to be proficient in agriculture, he still needs to know a little about the relevant knowledge.

Since his agricultural director has said so, buy it!

Ji Lin waved his hand.

The territory is still rich, and things like agriculture cannot be sloppy. If you want to buy, buy the best!

Then he opened the market and saw those guys asking for too much. The cheapest blueprint of the sugarcane sugar factory was 2,000 gold.

Ji Lin searched for a long time but didn't find any leaks. The rarity level of specialized blueprints is higher than that of general blueprints, because such blueprints often contain some manufacturing technology.

He also asked Fang Ai and Li Yan, and got a blueprint of a winemaking workshop, but no sugarcane sugar factory.

The sugarcane that was about to be harvested in the territory would not make him wait too long, as there was a lot of sugarcane in the territory.

Reluctantly, he used 2,000 gold to buy the cheapest blueprint of the sugarcane sugar factory on the market.

[Sugarcane Sugar Factory]

[Prototype Blueprint (Changes with the Times)]

[A large-scale sugar factory with a large number of ancient sugar-making facilities can convert sugarcane crops into relatively pure sugarcane and obtain sugarcane residue. Current territory: green sugarcane, sugar yield rate 10%. ]

[Sugar, a strategic material, can provide people with delicious food, but also can make destructive weapons. Although cane sugar is sweet, don't eat too much. Eating too much will cause tooth decay! 】

One thousand acres of sugarcane fields, 2,000 kilograms per acre, 10% sugar yield, equivalent to 200,000 kilograms of sugar.

Ji Lin smacked his lips. 200,000 kilograms of sugar can be produced by one thousand acres of land. This is still a yield that has been severely reduced by the system. No wonder the colonists in the previous life liked to build sugarcane plantations in overseas colonies and transport them to the mainland.

The territory relies on coastal salting to obtain a large amount of crude sea salt, and now relies on fresh water provided by rivers to obtain sugar.

But from now on, the territory's cane sugar will also enter the process of self-sufficiency... I just don't know if Fang Ai and Li Yan need to import cane sugar. Tree people can directly synthesize sugar, and there is no particularly strong demand.

However, Ji Lin had seen the wonderful ideas of tree man lords on the forum in his previous life. The crooked way of feeding tree people with a large amount of inorganic salts and sugar to make them grow quickly is to treat tree people as ordinary plants.

Dragons and elves should also like sugar, right?

Ji Lin has already started thinking about how to export trade and exchange resources back to the territory. Sugar cane can be added to the territory's export list.

He will use sugar to make up for the two thousand gold from the market.

With sugar cane and cotton, he can start making more powerful gunpowder, but Ji Lin has already used crystal ore mixed with gunpowder, which has better explosive power, burning speed and gas generation efficiency than ordinary gunpowder. Naturally, he is not as eager for normal gunpowder as other lords.

Sugarcane cultivation requires a lot of fresh water, which consumes the territory's freshwater resources abnormally. Only territories like Jilin that rely on rivers and have inexhaustible freshwater can carry out large-scale cultivation.

Sugarcane cultivation requires a lot of water. If a normal territory dares to do this, it will drain the territory's freshwater resources in minutes.

The rich resources brought by the autumn harvest naturally need a place to be stored. He is not in a hurry to harvest the ginger field and carrot field. It is also good to let these things stay in the field for a while and let them reproduce themselves.

At present, it takes a long time for the more than 3,000 people currently engaged in agricultural production in the territory to harvest sugarcane and two staple foods and process them into edible and long-term resources.

The cotton all over the ground can be harvested and handed over to the tailor shop. Cotton does not lose some quality due to process problems like sugarcane extraction. It's just that the tailor shop needs to use more time to process the cotton that has just been picked.

The time of these tailor shops fishing for three days and drying the net for two days is over, and it's time to start working with all their strength.

The crop processing area was chosen not far from the agricultural area, at the junction of the river plain and the ordinary plain, without occupying arable land, far away from residential areas, and a large number of wooden houses were built to store a large amount of staple food.

The primary wooden houses given by the system are ventilated, moisture-proof, cool, large in space, and consume very few resources. Except that they are not very comfortable to live in, they are the best choice for storing supplies.

The sugarcane sugar factory and the wine workshop were also built here, and the living standard of the territory began to stride towards a normal prosperous town.

[Wine workshop]

[Prototype blueprint (changes with the improvement of the times)]

[A relatively simple wine workshop, providing the most basic wine koji, can use crops and sugar to make wine. ]

[Cooking sheep and slaughtering cattle for fun, you must drink three hundred cups at a time. ]
