Rural Shennong

Chen Ping has already found a place in the village to build a yard, which has five rooms, including three bedrooms, for Chen Ping, Yan Luo and Lan Zhanyang to live in respectively.

Da Ben lives with Chen Ping.

There is also a living room and a kitchen.

The style of the courtyard is simple, and it is also a thatched house, which is no different from other villagers' homes.

Early the next morning, Lan Kangshi rushed to Chen Ping's house worried, and waved to Lan Zhanyang, who was up for morning exercise through the fence: "Is your master up yet?"

Before Lan Zhanyang could answer, Chen Ping opened the door and walked out: "Brother Lan is here, hurry up and enter the courtyard!"

Lan Kangshi arrived at the living room, sat opposite Chen Ping, forced a smile and said, "Village Chief, I'm here to talk to you."

"Let me tell you about the situation in the village first!"

Jinsha Village has a population of 570, 62 adult Sirius, and more than 3 mu of arable land.

Such a small population has so much arable land, which is almost unimaginable on Earth.

For example, in Huaguo, the eastern border area outside the Guan with the most arable land, large villages only have more than [-] mu of land, but the population of such a large village is much higher than that of Jinsha Village, and there are even fewer in the Jiangnan region of Huaguo.

Based on the per capita arable land area, the people in Jinsha Village should not go hungry.

But the actual situation is different. Even with so much arable land, it is very difficult to feed the villagers of Jinsha Village.

Because among the 570 people, there are about [-] warriors, big and small, and even half-sized children with external strength can eat several times as much as an ordinary person.

Those so-called big appetite kings on the earth can hardly reach the lowest level among warriors.

And the higher the cultivation base, the food intake will increase exponentially.

The father and son of the Lan family, a pair of peak internal strength fighters, really want to let go of their stomachs to eat, and each of them can eat a hundred catties of grain a day.

What's more, there are so many wolves. Don't think that the Sirians don't eat carbohydrates.

Sirius is an alien beast, not only a beast that only knows how to eat meat, but also one of the ten most intelligent alien beast royal families.

Carbohydrates can not only increase the intensity of exercise, but also an important source of energy for brain development. If Sirius always eats meat and does not eat food, not only will he not be able to advance, but he may degenerate into a beast with lower intelligence.

Daben also eats food, but the food it eats is at the level of panacea, which is stored in its own storage equipment.

Lan Kangshi gritted his teeth and said: "Village chief, the villagers in the village can give you some land, but if you want to collect food, I'm afraid you have to wait until the harvest time."

"During this period of time, your rations will be borne by the folks!"

Lan Kangshi didn't say it directly, and Chen Ping could hear the meaning expressed in his words.

Chen Ping didn't say anything stupid about relying on mountains to eat mountains and relying on seas to eat seas.

Humans not only need protein, but also carbohydrates, otherwise they will be called carbon-based life, and food is the most important source of carbohydrates.

Insufficient intake of carbohydrates will lead to motor dysfunction. The greater the intensity of exercise, the higher the dependence on carbohydrates.

This is true for ordinary people, not to mention martial artists whose exercise intensity index has skyrocketed. Without carbohydrates, martial artists are still practicing.

Unless you are extraordinary, your physical body surpasses the limitations of mortals, and you can communicate with the aura of heaven and earth, you can get rid of this limitation.

Chen Ping calculated silently in his mind, and always felt that something was wrong: "Brother, you don't need to think about my problem first."

"I want to ask, what is the yield per mu in our village?"

Lan Kangshi opened his mouth and came: "About two hundred catties!"

When he said that, Chen Ping felt even more wrong.

Compared with the ordinary rice in Huaguo, the yield per mu is much lower, not to mention the improved high-yield rice in Huaguo.

But here is full of aura, and the spiritual rice is planted and produced, so the grain should grow well.

Chen Ping frowned and said: "In this case, even if the yield per mu is only 600 catties, [-] mu of land can produce more than [-] million catties of grain a year, should it be enough for you?"

600 million catties of food, for a year's defense of the city, should be distributed to more than 500 villagers, including more than 200 human warriors and adult Sirius, each of whom can get more than 20 catties a day.

Although this amount of food is far from enough for strong warriors, the villagers and wolves don't just eat food, they also eat vegetables and meat, so how can they be so tight.

Lan Kangshi smiled bitterly: "But we still have to offer 200 million catties of grain to Lord Sirius and the chief every year!"

Chen Ping learned some details by asking again.

For example, the rice here on Sirius Island only has a growth period of two months, and it can only grow for a specific two months, and the rest of the time can't be planted no matter what.

In five days, it will be the time to plant spiritual rice this year. The villagers have already started to prepare for planting rice. Chen Ping plans to go to the rice fields first.

Before reaching the planting area, Chen Ping found many villagers carrying buckets of seawater to the rice fields.

He asked puzzledly, "What are you all doing with sea water?"

Lan Kangshi said in astonishment: "Of course it is to grow spiritual rice. Without water, how can the spiritual rice grow?"

Rice is also called rice, and spiritual rice is also rice, and it also needs water.

But Chen Ping has never heard of using seawater to grow rice: "Could it be that this spiritual rice is special?"

Chen Ping did not make random decisions, but continued to move forward.

When he arrived at the rice fields, Chen Ping saw that many rice fields were filled with seawater, and there was a fishy and salty smell in the air.

Chen Ping grabbed a handful of soil from the paddy field, and as expected, the soil in the paddy field was very salinized.

If it is on the earth, it is impossible to grow rice in this kind of land, and the rice seedlings can be directly pickled by throwing down the rice seedlings.

He couldn't help asking: "Brother, don't you have fresh water near here? Why use sea water to grow?"

Lan Kangshi explained: "The source of fresh water is too far away, and getting water there is far less convenient than getting water from the sea."

Chen Ping was stunned, and he seemed to have grasped the key point: "In other words, you have never used fresh water to grow spiritual rice?"

Lan Kangshi said as a matter of course: "Yes, all the villages are planted like this. Is there any problem?"

Any questions?The corners of Chen Ping's eyes twitched, and he didn't know how to answer Lan Kangshi. This is a big problem!

Chen Ping suspected that the poor growth of the spiritual rice had a lot to do with the fact that they used seawater to plant it.

If it weren't for the abundance of aura on the Meteor Immortal Sea, and the vitality of the spiritual rice itself was strong enough, they wouldn't be able to harvest even a hair of it if they were replaced by earth's rice seeds.

It is a miracle that they can still harvest more than 200 catties per mu of land.

Chen Ping didn't say anything on the spot. After returning, he asked Lan Kangshi for some rice seeds and wanted to try it himself.

After getting the rice seeds given to him by Lan Zhanyang, Chen Ping was very puzzled: "Are you sure the rice seeds are okay?"
