Chapter 217 Seeds

"Well, are there any seeds for spring planting and summer harvest?"

Ji Lin didn't feel restrained when chatting with the priests standing next to him. He had seen people with much higher status than these priests.

“Sowing in spring and harvesting in autumn?”

The priest was stunned for a moment, not quite understanding what Ji Lin said, and scratched his head.

Ji Lin then gestured with his hands and told him that the so-called seeds planted in spring and harvested in summer are crops that can be harvested within two months.

Wheat and rice planted in winter cannot be harvested until spring and summer. After harvesting, new crops are sown and harvested in autumn. Plant in winter and harvest in spring, plant in summer and harvest in autumn. This cycle of two seasons is the harvest of the territory year after year.

Ji Lin's expectation for agricultural planting groups is that after iron farm tools are fully popularized, each agricultural group will be responsible for fifty acres of land, and each person will be responsible for an average of five acres of land. Now, on average, each person is responsible for three acres of land, and there is still room for expansion of the planting area in agricultural areas.

There is an influx of one thousand new people into the territory every month, and these people are also given priority to be put into work in the agricultural areas. Those with professional skills such as carpenters and blacksmiths will enter the corresponding jobs after being tested.

With this, when they start plowing in February, their population will increase by 3,000 people, and they will have at least 9,000 acres of labor force to invest in.

It is slightly less than the 10,000 acres that the territory currently owns, but it is also double the territory's existing planting area. The agricultural area of ​​Kaitoki Territory will reach 20,000 acres.

None of the crops in the territory are planted in spring and harvested in summer. These crops can be grown in 30-50 days.

If we also plant rice and wheat, I wonder if it will be too late to plant in the summer, or if there is not enough time left to allow the second season to mature in the autumn harvest. That's a real loss - crops that have been exposed to sufficient sunlight in summer can accumulate sufficient organic matter and produce large, plump ears.

But it is impossible to let the good land in the agricultural area of ​​the territory be left lying there. The preliminary estimate of the land that can be cultivated on their side of the flood plain is 200,000 acres.

With 200,000 acres of farmland, there is no need to worry about insufficient water.

"What do you think of these seeds? These are the highest-selling green plant seeds."

The priest trotted into the trading station, lowered his head and rummaged through various boxes. The various boxes that were moved out of the site were arranged in a messy manner and were not labeled with special labels. It can be seen that they are still new to the road.

He ran to Ji Lin with a bag of green wild vegetable seeds on the label and handed it over.

‘Crisp leafy vegetables’

‘Growth cycle 40-60 days’

'A fairly common leafy green, crisp, slightly sweet... but some people like to call it bland. It requires more water for irrigation during the planting period and is not very resistant to low temperatures. ’

‘It conforms to the characteristics of green leafy vegetables, but the taste is only barely satisfactory’

Vegetables? ...It's a good thing.

The territory is lacking vegetables. The wild vegetables collected in the wild cannot be grown in the territory, but they grow vigorously in the wild. The field collection team can collect a large amount of edible wild vegetables every time. Of course, the main supply of vegetables in the territory comes from the market.

"By the way, do you have any popular fruit trees that are relatively easy to care for? Preferably, they are shorter and easier to collect."

The priest thought hard. These agricultural concepts were a bit difficult for him, and then he realized that he should be the priest of the goddess of light rather than the priest of the goddess of life.

"We did not bring any trees in this batch. Fruit trees must be transported as saplings. If you need them, I can add resources next time."

Ji Lin nodded, took out a piece of paper from somewhere, put a '√' on the matter of purchasing crop seeds, and then.

"That's it. Pack all the green leafy vegetable seeds you have here into five acres of land for me, and I'll try planting them."

Catch the elf wandering the territory doing nothing and let her catalyze the rapid growth of green leafy vegetables. By shortening the two-month growth cycle to a few days, Ji Lin can choose the best one among various green leafy vegetables.

"I also need glass storage..."

The priest felt his head itch as he listened to Ji Lin announcing the supplies he needed to purchase like the names of vegetables.

The various luxury goods they brought were not on Ji Lin's list of purchases, but those resources he had not heard of were listed one by one.

Just when the priest stopped writing, thinking that the lord in front of him had finally finished speaking, he turned to the next page.

Ji Lin looked at the rows of handwriting written on it and began to read to the priest in charge of trade in front of him according to the plan completed by Zhongshan Statistics.

At this time, the Holy City sent a trade caravan full of priests, but it seemed a little helpless. They were not proficient in business. Ordinary merchants were a symbol of untrustworthiness in their eyes. In addition, a group of merchants had just been purged a few days ago, so it was even more impossible to include them in the plan.

These report records must eventually be sent back to the headquarters for verification to avoid loss of resources due to fraud.

There was a group of businessmen there who had committed crimes and made meritorious deeds at the verification office.

"There are also export issues... Our territory currently has a variety of products... as follows... I hope we can give a specific purchase price..."

The priest was thinking while writing down the demand. He was not thinking about the types of export products, but about which brand of hair conditioner could better protect his hair.

Ji Lin let out a long breath and felt relieved. It felt good to have the initiative in his own hands.
