Chapter 365 Unlocking Perennial Rice Planting
Xiao Beidao: "Miss Xiumei, not everyone is like you and the eldest lady. Some people only care about themselves. It doesn't matter whether these refugees can survive. It's whether they can do something good." It's the most important thing."
Xiumei angrily had a lot of curse words she wanted to say, but in the end she swallowed them all.
That person was the Sixth Prince. To ordinary people like them, he was as tall as the sky.
So what if you were angry with him? What can be changed? Not to mention her, even her young lady has nothing to do with the nobles these days.
Seeing Xiumei like this, Xiaobei felt a little distressed. He wanted to say a few words of comfort, but he was too stupid to say anything, so in the end he could only watch.
Wei Jin also looked at Wei Ruo. He couldn't see her face because of the human skin mask, but there was clearly some coldness in her eyes.
After a while, the coldness gradually faded away.
"Let's go." Wei Ruodao.
No longer looking at the refugees who were being forced to open up wasteland, Wei Ruo pinched the horse's belly with his legs and sped up a bit.
Wei Jin also followed, staring at her with his deep eyes.
Although Wei Jinyi didn't say anything, Wei Ruo knew that her second brother was caring about her, so she turned around and explained to him: "Second brother, I'm fine. It's true that I'm a little annoyed, but I also know that some things are beyond my control." I won't think too much about things that are out of my reach and shouldn't be thought about, and I won't do things that cause trouble to myself." "
Yes." Wei Jin also agreed.
She has always been like this, compassionate, but at the same time very calm, knowing what she can and cannot do.
After the interlude, Wei Ruo and the four of them walked for another incense stick and arrived at the location marked by Wei Ruo last night - Fengting Mountain.
This mountain is not high in altitude, but it is huge and towering, stretching for several miles from west to northeast.
"Miss, what you want to buy isn't the mountain in front of you, is it?" Xiumei looked surprised.
"Including all the farmland at the foot of the mountain." Wei Ruodao.
Hearing this, Xiaobei's eyes widened. How much would it cost?
Although land is cheaper due to the current situation, such a large piece of land must still cost a lot of money.
Xiumei is not surprised that their lady wants to buy so much land, because her lady has recently made a lot of money by selling grain to the military camp. In addition, her lady's several businesses are very profitable, and she has saved a lot of money this year. .
But Xiumei was surprised that their lady wanted to buy the mountain in front of her: "What do you plan to plant on this mountain?"
"Tea, rice and fruit trees. The mountain is not all rugged, and a lot of relatively flat land can be reclaimed. That part is Plant rice, plant tea trees in the remaining places where tea trees can be grown, and choose some suitable fruit trees to plant in the remaining places." Wei Ruo replied.
Tea trees and fruit trees take a long time to plant, especially fruit trees, which take a very long time from planting to fruiting.
Therefore, Wei Ruo did not consider planting tea and fruit trees before, but now that Wei Ruo has accumulated a lot, it is time to make some long-term investments.
However, crops that can fill the stomach are still Wei Ruo's first choice. Wei Ruo will only consider other types of crops on land where it is inconvenient to grow rice.
Xiaobei couldn't help but said: "Miss, it's very laborious to plant this rice on the mountain."
Wei Ruodao: "Well, it is indeed laborious, so I plan to plant perennial rice, which can save a lot of manpower." "
Perennial rice? "This is the first time Xiaobei heard that rice can still grow perennial. "Yes, perennial rice can be harvested continuously for at least five years after it is planted once, and during these five years, the rice yield will basically not decline significantly. For such rice, as long as the climate conditions are ensured during the first year of growth, it will be harvested continuously for at least five years. In a few years, because the root system has grown well, the ability to cope with natural disasters will be greatly improved, and there will be no need for additional seedling cultivation and transplanting processes," Wei Ruo explained.
"Is there such a powerful rice variety in the world?" Xiaobei asked in surprise.
Then he turned to look at his young master. His young master was very knowledgeable and wondered if he had ever heard of this kind of rice.
Wei Jin also said: "This is also the first time I heard that rice can be perennial."
Wei Ruo explained: "This was only discovered recently, so I plan to plant it and try it. If it succeeds, it will naturally be the best Yes, if it fails, I will accept it."
It was said that it was discovered recently, but it was actually unlocked after her space was just upgraded.
The sweet potatoes have started to be harvested recently, and she has accumulated 8,000 space experience points, rising to level six.
The newly unlocked seeds after upgrading are perennial rice.
After learning the properties of the new seeds, Wei Ruo was extremely happy. Her space was really kind. All the seeds unlocked in the early stage were seeds that could be put to great use.
That's why she couldn't wait to come to the provincial capital to buy new land.
"Where did Ruo'er find such novel rice seeds?" Wei Jin also asked.
Wei Ruo has already explained this: "There are various types of rice seeds in nature. Even the rice planted in your own field will undergo some changes during the growth process. This kind of Changes are random, some are good and some are bad. It's just like people, they will give birth to tall, short, fat, thin, smart, and not smart."
Wei Ruo continued: "We can artificially allow rice flowers with different excellent characteristics to pollinate each other. The rice seeds they produce have their own advantages. After several generations of breeding, screening and optimization, it will be possible to obtain a rice seed with multiple advantages at the same time." The principle is correct, but in fact it takes a lot of energy
. The time and energy is very huge.
If Wei had the plug-in Space, he could directly obtain seeds with super-excellent properties without this process, saving countless manpower, material resources and time costs.
"Ruo'er is really smart." Wei Jin also said.
"There is also a certain amount of luck involved." Wei Ruodao, "But my second brother can't tell outsiders about this. If the seeds are successfully planted later, just say that I got the seeds from somewhere else, and don't say that I discovered them."
"Okay." Wei Jin also agreed.
Then Wei Ruo and the other four walked along Fengting Mountain for a while and observed the situation nearby.
After finding a suitable road up the mountain, several people started walking up the mountain.
The mountain is not steep. You can still ride a horse on the initial climb up the mountain, and you only need to dismount at the middle and later stages.
The four of them were walking with their horses when a rustling sound came from the lush grass on both sides of the road.
This time there was no need for Wei Jin to remind him, the movement was so obvious that even Wei Ruo heard it.
Immediately afterwards, a group of ragged, unkempt men rushed out with sticks and stones, and surrounded the four of Wei Ruo...
