Wheat Improvement
Chapter 126:Wheat Improvement
The rotation system does not matter to villages or small towns with low population density, but the land around the big city is tense, and in this way it is equivalent to wasting land.Places like Yingguang City, Fallen Longling and Wangdu import large amounts of food from other towns every month.
The first step in using human and animal fat is to collect them first.This is the reason why Roland decided to establish a public toilet as soon as possible, but also can reduce the spread of disease, beautify the living environment, is simply a lot of money.After the remaining batches of personnel arrived, the toilet was almost finished.As for how to compost and how to sow the cultivated land, he decided to select a group of experienced old farmers in a few days to teach alone.After all, the land is still in the stage of clearing, and it will take at least a week to start farming.
After finishing the work at hand, he decided to go to the back garden to see the test field of the leaves.
Since the leaves were studied for various types of seeds, all the places in the garden where flowers can be planted are planted with crops.She also suggested that the flower pool be divided into many blocks and numbered, which can compare the development results of the two experimental crops.
Roland had just stepped into the yard and was blinded by a thump of golden wheat.
“Your Highness.”Seeing the prince, the leaves crouching in the pool of flowers got up and gathered the hair in his ears, and walked in the courtesy.
“Is this the result of your improvement?”He waved his hand, signaled to the other party that there was no need to be polite, and went over excitedly to pick up a heavy wheat ear, and felt its full fruit with his fingers.
He had no idea what wheat could grow, but compared with the memories of his childhood in the royal wheat fields, those ears were not only smaller than his hands, but also a lot of particles.
The leaves nodded, "I first let the ears of the wheat grow larger, ripen the seeds, and then plant the new seeds into the flower pool, and I can get such wheat ears."However, repeating this process, after two or three rounds of planting, it is difficult to grow large and long ears of wheat.I don't know why either."
I’m sorry I can’t help in that regard, Roland thought.According to their poor poor junior high school biological knowledge, probably because of self-conference defects?All the southern seeds are rice, and wheat is far away, in order to increase production, the seeds are also bought.But can maintain two generations has practical value, a wheat can produce more than 130 seeds, the first seeds from the leaves to modify, and then let the farmer do their own seed, can be at least two years.
“Why is this piece empty?”Roland noticed a flowerbed with only a few dried wheat stalks.
"I grew there in the beginning, perhaps because I planted it too many times," the leaves were uncertain. "If I cast the magic, the wheat can grow quickly, but when the magic is removed, they will wither quickly."
It seems that the magically modified plants continue to grow and still need land to provide nutrients, and some trace elements are still essential.Roland went to the last flowerbed, where the wheat was planted in a strange shape, a large arm of wheat stalks hung several tufts of cyan wheat ears, the middle of the stalks also stretched out a few branches, branches covered with green leaves.Therefore, the volume of each wheat is also relatively large, and only two plants are planted in the flowerbed.
This is the magic wheat tree that Roland let the leaves try.
The direction he envisions is to make wheat like a banana tree, bear fruit from the branches and harvest regularly every year, thus saving the trouble of planting fields, while growing bigger and more green leaves, improving photosynthesis, and reducing the requirements for the land.At present, the stout wheat straw and branches are slightly occupied, and only the branches grow ears are not in line with the original idea.Or, let the leaves try to improve in the direction of the vines?Roland thought that after all, she had not seen the real banana tree, and the grapes were not a rare product in the gray castle, and it should be easier to imitate if there was a contrast.
"These three wheat seeds can't be used for sowing," said the leaf, "I tried, and the wheat grains can't sprout when they are planted."But it does come back and forth, and the ears you see are already the second batch."
The inability to germinate means that each wheat tree is unique and requires the leaves to be modified by hand, and the current planting value is not large."You do very well, the variety of barley ear is called gold one."I will leave you a test field on the south bank of the Redwater River, surrounded by fences and partitions, where you can ripen a batch of gold No. 1 for spring planting this year."Roland said, "As for the garden, which continues to be used to improve the new varieties, I have just come up with a lot of ideas."Not only wheat crops, but grapes are worth trying.”
Unfortunately, the leaves can only understand the characteristics of a crop from the macroscopic level: such as many fruits, sweet taste, dense branches, etc. If she can understand the micro level, will she be able to directly manipulate the genes and make subtle and precise adjustments?For example, let plants absorb light outside of visible light such as ultraviolet light, x light, and even ionizing radiation for photosynthesis, directly producing starch, glucose, sucrose and other energy storage substances, so that people can directly grow crops in the culture tank.
By evening, the four princes had kindled a bonfire by the Redwater River, and the Carters and the guards had gathered all the serfs.A pot of cauldrons was carried here by the people, and the newly built simple mud stove was set up to make fire porridge.
The serfs looked at the new owner with their backs to the bonfire, and the shadows were dragged out by the fire, who had lowered their heads in fear.There are also some audacity, still secretly looking at the prince from time to time.
Roland stood in front of the bonfire and announced his own rules to the thousands of people.
"I am Roland Wimbledon, the Four Princes of Greyburg, the lord of the border town, and the master of the West!"
"Bringing you here to tell everyone that it is your luck to come to this territory!"As long as you work hard, you can get rid of your current identity and status!”
“Yes, I will give you a chance to get rid of slavery and become free!”
There was an uproar among the serfs.What it means to be a freeman, and these serfs know in their hearts that they can no longer be cruelly abused by their masters, they need no longer be forced to farm endlessly, and the crops produced in the fields no longer have to be handed over to their owners, and their sons and daughters can be separated from the status of serfs.
After waiting for a moment, Roland continued to say, “From tomorrow, each of you will be given a fixed piece of land, and there will be instructions on how to harvest more wheat.”In the first year, you can leave 30% of the harvest in the field, and 70% will be handed over to the border town.The best harvest will be promoted to free people!”
“When you become a free man, your family can be freed from slavery, and it is up to you to continue farming or to find other jobs in the town.Choose to cultivate, harvest 20% of the food as a share rent, the remaining 80% by your own control.The other who seeks to make a living, the field is returned to the lord, of course, and does not need to turn over any food!”
As soon as this came out, there was only one breath left at the scene, and suddenly I didn’t know who shouted, “Your Highness, is everything you say true?”
"Of course," Roland said, "I never deceive my people as lords."
"Your Highness benevolence," someone shouted, and then the voice soon became high, "long live the prince!"
A serf in the front row knelt down with a shout, followed by the second man, the third man...
Until the field kneeling down to the black pressure a piece, the call came and went, more and more, more and more.People’s voices eventually converge into the same rhythm, “Your Highness benevolence!Long live the Prince!”
Ever since there had been an echo, the prince thought.
He clapped his hands and said to the guard behind him, “Eat!”(Not finished.If you like this work, you are welcome to start the vote, your support is my biggest motivation.
