Difficulty in farming

With the supplies, the old people can be more generous to Yu Jinshu, a guest, especially when they heard that this good-looking young man who looked like an intellectual was called the boss by Yi Gao, and the treatment he received was even warmer. Be greeted everywhere, and occasionally be stuffed with two warm baked sweet potatoes.

Yu Jinshu accepted it at the time, and later shared more of what he brought with the old man who gave him sweet potatoes.

There are not many people in a village. Yi Gao just wants to come back and have a look. He is afraid that if he stays in the village for too long, he will be discovered and will be troubled by the village. He only plans to stay for two or three days, and every once in a while I just came back to bring you something, and it’s a good day like this.

Yu Jinshu stood on the top of the mountain and looked at the terraced fields at his feet. The terraced fields that should have been full of green were only sparsely green, and he could still see the old man in the field with his trousers rolled up to inspect the crops.

They have worked and lived in the fields all their lives, and when they get old, they have a much deeper affection for this land, and they pay more attention to this land that raised them. Even if the grain production is not good, they have to come and see it every now and then.

"Boss" Yi Gao climbed to the top of the mountain humming, "It's almost lunch time, what are you doing here?"

"Look at the ground"

Yi Gao glanced at the well-organized field under his feet, and felt a little sad. Thinking about how he used to have a lot of laughter on this land when he was a child, now the land that should bring people a good harvest has become what it is today. It's impossible not to feel sad about the desolate scene, "It used to be so good here, self-sufficient, and the field under my feet can be harvested, but now..."

"Forget it, what's the use of thinking about it now, it's good enough to be alive." Yi Gao shook his head, "Brother Yu, let's go, it's time for lunch."

Yu Jinshu turned his head and took a deep look at the few old people scattered in the field. The idea he had been thinking for a long time finally came to fruition. Although joining the army was a matter stipulated by his family, his years of service in the army still had a certain impact on Yu Jinshu.

Why are their soldiers working so hard?Isn't it just for his own family, for thousands of small families to live a happier life, if these old people are more greedy, Yu Jinshu may let go of this idea, just let Yi Gao occasionally bring something back, but now, he still Made up my mind.

"Yi Gao" Yu Jinshu called the other party, and said slowly with the other party's blank expression, "Have you ever thought about changing the current situation of the village?"

"It's not that easy," Yi Gao said subconsciously, why didn't he want to change the status quo of the village?Why don’t you want everyone in the village to have enough food and clothing, “Life is good now, I’ll come back to deliver some supplies when I’m free, and I’ll always live well.”

"Have you never thought about letting them support themselves?" Yu Jinshu asked.

"I've thought about it, but..." Yi Gao just wanted to speak, and suddenly realized what Yu Jinshu meant, "Boss... do you have any suggestions?"

When Yu Jinshu brought up this topic, he was definitely not just talking about it. Maybe there is a way to make the villagers self-sufficient?

"You can cooperate with me, what about the people in the village?"

"..." Yi Gao's eyes widened and he spoke incoherently, "Boss... I'm working for you, but the villagers..." He is looking after Yu Jinshu's house, so what about the villagers?How many people can a family need to watch and talk about cooperation, but in fact it is just an excuse, an excuse to support the villagers.

"Cooperation is not an excuse. Of course I have conditions." Yu Jinshu shook his head. Although he wanted to help these people, he didn't want to turn them into bloodsuckers. There is already a rough outline between breaths.

How many crops can be grown by him alone? After knowing that the food storage situation in City A is not good, the original plan was to bring the plants he hoarded to the base in City A to give to his family. I can’t eat well either. This stuff is just a drop in the bucket, but with labor and land, the planting area can be expanded and a large amount of production can be produced. While providing work and food for these people, it can also produce surplus Food was provided to the soldiers under the family.

It's a win-win situation.

But these Yu Jinshu didn't tell Yi Gao, so let the other party think so, "I will provide you with seeds, and I will come to watch when they are first planted, on the condition that I want a part of the production."

The amount of this part depends on the results of the planting, but it is enough to make Yi Gao excited. The fact proves that the germination rate of the seeds selected by Yu Jinshu is higher than that of others. It is estimated that there will be many, and Elcometer's experiments during this period have proved another point, the seed yield and germination rate of successfully germinated crops are relatively stable.

Without Yu Jinshu's selection and planting by himself, there is still a stable output, but the only seeds available now are chicken feathers, and there is only a little bit, which is not enough for the villagers to use. As long as Yu Jinshu helps them once at the beginning, using the first crops seeds, the subsequent production will definitely stabilize. I don't know why, but Yigao has a kind of confidence in this.

Maybe it's because he has seen more unscientific things around Yu Jinshu, and his trust in Yu Jinshu has also grown rapidly. Who can produce as much crops as the boss's?Who can have a boss who can produce mutated crops that are edible or even tastier?The most important point is that the growth time of the boss's crops is also faster than that of ordinary crops. Roughly estimated, the time can be shortened by at least one-third.

What is the concept of one third?For crops such as potatoes, which have a large yield and are easy to be full, the early-maturing species can be matured in two months, while Yu Jinshu's side only needs a little more than a month to harvest. The time difference between this period is enough for them to survive the period of waiting for the crops to mature up.

"Don't be so excited." Yu Jinshu poured cold water on Yi Gao, "The high yield of crops in the villa does not mean that the yield of crops here is also high."

Just like Elcometer itself, the output at the base in City A was unprecedentedly high, but the output in other places is still unbelievably low.

"It doesn't matter." Yigao was not hit, and quickly refuted Yu Jinshu's statement, "Although the output was high at the base in City A, it was obviously a common variety. The crops sold by the boss basically tasted better than the original varieties. Last time, after experiments, the seed yield of these crops is relatively stable, even if they can’t be planted here, we can become rich here when the crops in the hands of the boss mature and germinate.”

Yu Jinshu didn't even know when Yigao's labs were done. Occasionally, he would indeed ask him if he wanted to plant a crop or two, and would record something in a small notebook, but he didn't expect Yigao to be recording these, and secretly rubbing his hands. Rubbing myself back to experiment.

"You..." Yu Jinshu looked complicated, "Forget it, let's go back first."

Yi Gao was confused, and then quickly put the doubts behind him, and his mind was full of the cooperation proposed by Yu Jinshu.

Not long after eating, Yi Gao disappeared quickly, and Yu Jinshu was not worried. This matter was related to their survival. I believe Yi Gao himself would do his best to solve these matters.

Yigao summoned the labor force in the village to officially announce the matter. Originally, the villagers did not respond to this matter. Seeds, which family in the countryside did not have any seeds?The problem is that even if there are seeds, not much can be grown. This is the root of the problem.

But soon, Yigao's subsequent explanation made the eyes of this group of laborers light up a little bit, did they hear correctly?Are these seeds more likely to germinate than existing ones?

While Ji Guangxuan was excited, he had another question, "Didn't you say you couldn't find a way when you came back?"

At that time, he never thought that the boss would be so generous to donate his seeds to help them. He explained, "Those bases really don't have a way to increase the germination rate and yield. This method is the boss's own, unique method."

Having said that, everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, how precious the food is now, but the other party is still willing to hand over the seeds to them, he is a great benefactor of their village.

Yu Jinshu didn't know that his image in the eyes of the villagers had been greatly improved, and he seemed to be in the ranks of lifesavers. When the three of them were going back, they also took away a few laborers who were planning to stay in the villa. There are many types of crops planted there, but the quantity in Yu Jinshu's hands is small, which is definitely not enough. In addition, just in case, in case the planting results in the village are not good, the plant seeds here can be slowed down.

The coolies include young people and middle-aged people. Young people are a minority and middle-aged people are in the majority. After all, they have many years of experience in farming, and they are entrusted with all the work of digging the soil. Yu Jinshu only needs to plant seeds and work to water them. These people are good at water fertilization.

After finishing the farm work, he was not idle. He was sent to the flower and bird market to dig some catnip and came back. If he wanted to plant crops in the community, he had to make various defenses around it. At least there should be no zombies in the base camp, right?

These people worked neatly, and worked even harder after eating the crops that Yu Jinshu personally planted. It was all for the sake of the village, so that they could eat well and dress warmly, so they had to work hard!

Yu Jinshu has been busy going around these days. Although they are the ones who do the dirty work, he only needs to sow the seeds. His existence is more like a mascot.

But for a period of time, running back and forth between the two places, Yu Jinshu's physical fitness was a little bit unbearable.

Linjiang Manor, which was originally a high-end villa area, has been completely changed under the tireless efforts of everyone, especially those who have survived to the present. appearance.

Yu Jinshu circled a place in the manor, and then asked the group of people to start building a wall to enclose the place they circled. This is their base camp, and all the green grassland in the community has been pulled out. It turned into a vegetable field, and the whole manor looked a bit nondescript.

The livestock raised by Yu Jinshu gave birth to many cubs, and Yu Jinshu’s villa couldn’t accommodate them, so he purposely found a place outside to raise a livestock enclosure. This group of livestock must have been used to raising them, and their paws and wings are obviously strong. Quite a few still live obediently in the circle surrounded by human beings.
