The third notice stated that all farmers could go to the county government of Wannian County to collect seeds of various crops. In addition, blacksmiths and carpenters were summoned to the Prince Liang's residence.
Once the three notices were released, Wannian County became as lively as the New Year. The surrounding counties were not peaceful.
Inside the library of the Imperial Residence of Liang.
Li Rui held a modern book in his hand and kept saying,"Drought-resistant wheat, Xinong 511. It has the characteristics of half-winterness. The entire growth period is 233 days. The plant type is relatively loose, but its lodging resistance is very good…Remember?”
"Husband, you can speak faster.”Wang Zhaojun kept writing in her delicate handwriting.
Yang Yuhuan was grinding ink at the side, curious about the contents of the book.
Li Rui didn't waste any time." Jiuchun No. 7. This variety of wheat has a shorter growth period, only 107 days. The plant type is also relatively compact. It is easily infected by powder and leaf rust. Its lodging resistance is also average!”
What Li Rui said was the introduction from the tree.
There was a complete book on crops in the library, and it was a detailed introduction of wheat.
The price given by the system was 1 Merit Point for each bag of wheat seeds.
Each bag of wheat was 100 kilograms, and could be used to cultivate five acres of land. The price was not expensive.
Yang Yuhuan copied two copies of the translated introduction. The ink and wash dried and was pasted in front of the residence of Prince Liang as a notice.
In the courtyard of the Prince Liang's residence, Zhao Yun appeared to maintain order. There were more than a hundred lower-ranked officials and blacksmiths in Wannian County.
Li Ruifeng appeared with large strides, accompanied by the two girls.
Everyone cupped their fists and bowed their heads.”
"There's no need to be so formal. I'm a little busy today, so I'll get straight to the point. I saw in the county register that there are 15000 hectares of open fields, hemp fields, mulberry fields, and house fields in Wannian County, right?”Li Rui asked directly.
In ancient times, 1 tilt was equal to 50 mu of land, and 200 tilts was equal to 1 square kilometer.
The area of cultivated land in the Tang Dynasty was far inferior to that of the later generations, and the yield of grain per mu could not be compared to that of the later generations.
Zhao Yun had the prefectural soldiers carry large sacks of grain, all of which were wheat seeds and pepper tree seedlings. These were only found in the Western Regions and were as expensive as gold in the Great Tang.
" The seeds will be distributed to the farmers for free," Li Rui said bluntly." After they are harvested, they must be sold to the Northern Liang Army at half the market price!"”
The other officials looked at each other. Some of them looked troubled and did not know how to explain.
Someone stood up." Prince Liang lives in the palace. You don't know this. Now, the fields are barren. It's easy to lose their harvest in times of drought.”
Li Rui smiled calmly." The seeds I gave you are drought-resistant and have a fast growth cycle. According to what I said, I can guarantee that your yield per mu will exceed 5000 catties. That is to say, one acre of land will have at least 50,000 catties of grain."”
"Ah?"
Everyone was shocked. It sounded like a fantasy.
Li Rui had spent more than 10,000 contribution points to distribute the seeds, pepper seedlings, and pepper saplings.
[Current Contribution Points: 80200]
To increase production, fertilizer was the key. Nowadays, people used pig manure and so on, which was far from enough.
Li Rui exchanged a large amount of fertilizer and distributed it to the farmers.
In just one day, the influx of refugees from 10,000 years ago reached 7,000.
This was only the first day, and the news had yet to spread completely. In the future, there would probably be more than ten thousand refugees every day.
Sima Yi smiled bitterly and said," My Lord, there are too many refugees. Each person is paid a hundred wen a month. If ten thousand people come in every day, it will cost a million wen!”
A thousand strings of money was equivalent to a thousand taels of silver!
Sima Yi was in charge of the finances and spent money like water every day. That bit of money was not enough to do anything.
Li Rui threw him ten gold ingots, ten thousand taels of gold!
"Accept as many refugees as you can!" Li Rui said lightly.
The refugees were settled down and the young people were recruited to join the Northern Liang Army. Sima Yi alone took over many things.
As for the blacksmiths, Li Rui took out a complete book of farm tools from the library and drew more than ten blueprints for them. They were all modern farm tools.
The blacksmiths and carpenters received a large order, and Li Rui asked them to make ten thousand plows and other farming tools.
What surprised Li Rui the most was that he found the cement composition in the building foundation book.
Li Rui opened the system panel. The exchange rate for cement was one to one.
1 ton of cement =1 contribution point.
This was not expensive!
Sima Yi smiled bitterly." My Lord, we don't have enough cattle for farming. We need cattle to reclaim wasteland."”
Li Rui looked at the system. An adult cattle actually cost 100 Merit Points.
Living creatures were very expensive!
Calves were ten times cheaper at 10 points, and pigs and lambs were only 5 points.
Li Rui exchanged 100 adult cattle for Sima Yi and spent another 10,000 Merit Points.
Li Rui wouldn't be able to take it if he continued to spend like this!
"Zilong, have you finished building the ranch I asked you to?" Li Rui asked decisively.”
"There are 20 hectares of jungle outside Chang 'an City. That is an abandoned hunting park.”Zhao Zilong walked over.
Li Rui exchanged 1,000 calves, 5,000 piggies, and 5,000 lambs for Zhao Yun to raise.
He spent another 20,000 Merit Points. Li Rui knew that he had to spend it.
Li Rui had also thought of using silver to buy cattle, but the price of cattle had soared during the current farming period. Moreover, buying a dozen of them was useless.
A normal fine bull, which was a high-level bull, would cost 4200 coins.
The second-class strong bull was a second-class bull, and one of them cost 3200 wen.
