Due to the tense war, Xianming pass is the last checkpoint of the border pass. It was captured by the Fusu people many times and suffered heavy casualties. Therefore, a large area of farmland outside the Xianming pass has been uncultivated and full of weeds.
Song Xijiao bought it at a low price that people couldn't imagine that afternoon, and hired ten more tenants, half of them reclaiming land and half digging potatoes.
At the edge of the farmland, several tenants who were digging their land saw this scene, and they all stopped farming and discussed curiously.
"Where is this girl from? How can you be so stupid?"
"Who knows, well, you said she specialized in that poisonous thing, isn't she making a bad idea?"
"I don't know. However, I heard that she was very generous. Today, laotiantou started to work with her. She said that her mother was in a critical condition, so she immediately gave him twenty dollars to buy medicine."
"Really?"
No matter how many potato seedlings there are, they are weeds, and they are often cleaned up by tenants. Therefore, these people have been digging until it is dark, and only two acres of land have been filled.
Song Xijiao was not discouraged. She carefully picked the small potatoes and planted three acres of land.
After planting, pinch your fingers and calculate. After three days, the two acres of potatoes can directly yield thousands of kilograms of potatoes, but the other three acres, if you want to harvest, just wait for more than two months!
However, a few thousand kilograms of potatoes can only feed all soldiers for one day at most, which is still a drop in the bucket.
Song Xijiao, like a little tiller, sat on the pit on one side of the field, frowning, her brain constantly active, thinking of a way to help the barracks solve the problem of food and grass for a long time.
Until the city gate was about to close, she had to get up and pat the dust on her body, sighed, and went back full of worry.
Xianming pass at night is much quieter than that in the daytime.
In particular, there are red old or white paper lanterns hanging at the door of every household in the city, shaking with the north wind, which is indescribably gloomy and desolate, like a ghost city.
When she returned to her residence, she took a bath and lay on the bed in a big font, and continued to think about farming.
She did not have Chinese land in the past, but in order to introduce Yuan Longping's hybrid rice, the teacher once explained in detail the evolution and development process of agriculture. What did she say?
In the north, especially in the cold north, winter is long, summer is short, and spring and autumn are basically not obvious. However, because of the low temperature, there will be no diseases and insect pests. As long as we find the right cold resistant crops, it will be a good thing for the development of agriculture.
It is usually rich in rice, corn, soybeans, potatoes and sorghum, as well as some cold resistant fruits and vegetables. She has solved the potato problem and can guarantee a steady supply of potatoes after two or three months.
The rest of the rice and corn, you can also find a way to do more. In cold weather, if you can sit in a warm room, drink a bowl of hot porridge and chew a hot corn, it must be a great enjoyment for soldiers!
No way!
She suddenly turned over and sat up. It was far from enough to rely on that five mu of land. She had to buy more and more kinds of land. Even if she could not solve the urgent problem, she should at least guarantee the complete supply of sustainable development in two or three months.
She put on her clothes and went outside. When she saw the soldiers guarding the corridor, she immediately waved to him.
The soldier was stunned and hesitated, but thinking of the general's explanation, he had to "leave his post without permission" and walked towards her: "what can I do for you, girl?"
"Come in, I have something to ask you."
The soldier looked at the sky and hesitated: "girl, if you have any questions, please ask here."
Song Xijiao was stunned and chuckled.
You can avoid suspicion!
She didn't take a girl seriously.
Seeing that he insisted on refusing to enter the house, song Xijiao had to pour him a bowl of hot tea and force it into his hand. She was sitting on the porch, holding a bowl of hot tea and looking at him and asking, "what's your name?"
The soldier replied, "the villain is overjoyed."
"Happy?" Song Xijiao laughed. "It's a good name. Where are you from?"
"My family is in Xianming pass."
Hearing this, song Xijiao got up immediately. She wanted to know something about xianmingguan, but she was so lucky that she found the right person at once.
In fact, it was her luck that Meng Xinghe was afraid that song Xijiao would always hide in her room and feel bored. She specially selected several soldiers from Xianming pass to guard here. In case she was curious about what was going on here, or if she was dishonest and wanted to run around Xianming pass, these soldiers could also deal with it.
"You're from xianmingguan. I'll ask you, do you have farmland in your family?"
Big happy nod head way: "the home has an acre of land, father is planting."
"What are you planting? What is the annual harvest? "
I was glad to see that song Xijiao kept asking about the land. She was confused when she asked about the purpose of these questions. However, the general told her that she would follow the song girl. She could only patiently reply, "the sorghum planted at home can collect more than 600 Jin a year.""More than 600 Jin?"
Song Xijiao is a little surprised. This is too little!
If you grow potatoes, you can harvest more than 3000 Jin per season, and you can plant three to four seasons a year, that is to say, the annual output can be stabilized at about 10000 kg.
She stood up and quickly calculated in her mind and asked: "there are only one mu and two mu of land in your family, planting sorghum, but the harvest is not much. Is there still a lot in Xianming pass?"
Big happy nod: "there are many."
"Good! Great joy, I want to give you something to do for me. "
On the other side, Meng Xinghe stands on the wall of Xianming pass in a suit of battle armor. He looks at his troops stationed in the distance. His eyes are cold, but his eyes are burning.
Afraid of being discovered by the enemy, they dare not even light a fire. On a dark night, whether it is eating or sleeping, they have to come in the dark.
If it's to fight the Fusu people, it's OK to suffer.
However, the Fusu people were still rampant at the border, so they made a mess of themselves. When the time came, both sides would be hurt. Instead, they told the Fusu people to watch jokes.
The fist unconsciously clenched, Meng Xinghe clenched his teeth, looked at the stars in the distance, and took a deep breath.
"Great joy, general."
Meng Xinghe looked loose and didn't make a sound. He walked down the wall and came to the root of the wall. When he turned his head, he saw Daxi standing there, breathing and warming himself.
He went over and asked, "what's the matter?"
"General!" As soon as she saw Meng Xinghe, Daxi stood up straight and said quickly: "today, Miss Song went out of the city and bought five acres of land and planted a lot of poisons. Just now she asked me about the land and land purchase with me. I don't know what I want to do."
