Chapter 143 Agricultural Area Construction

The yield of rice and wheat per mu in this new season is higher than before, increasing from 400 kilograms per mu to 420 kilograms per mu. With the blessing of the mill and the Temple of the Goddess of Life, and the sufficient irrigation of a large number of nearby canals, it has been slightly improved.

One mu of wheat field, 420 kilograms per mu, flour yield 70%.

One mu of rice field also happens to have an yield of about 420 kilograms per mu, and the rice yield is 70%, which is basically the same as the flour yield of wheat. After shelling, the most basic brown rice is produced, which is also one of the most commonly used staple foods in the territory.

There is not much difference in the per mu yield of the two, but there is a big difference in eating as food.

The flour ground from wheat is mainly used to make noodles, and secondarily used to make various kinds of easy-to-carry pasta, such as steamed buns and flatbreads. It can also be used to bake bread in a stove. After planting a large number of oil-producing crops, you can consider making good things like pancakes and fried dough sticks.

The rice produced by rice is all used for the supply of staple food, although rice can also be ground into powder to produce smooth and soft powder, which is used to produce various soft, sweet and sticky foods, such as various pastries, green balls, and glutinous rice cakes.

The problem is that the territory does not have so much redundant production to meet the demand for side dishes.

Diversified staple foods are always good.

One mu of rice produces a total of about 300,000 catties of brown rice, while one mu of wheat produces about 300,000 catties of flour.

That's 600,000 jin of staple food. If you add any side dishes, it's enough for the entire territory to feed 150 people for five months.

After a simple calculation in his heart, Ji Lin breathed a sigh of relief, showing a rare joy from the bottom of his heart.

Looking at the bundles of sugarcane carried out of the sugarcane fields by the people on their shoulders, the long leaves of the sugarcane were cut off, and the green-skinned sugarcane bounced on the shoulders of the people.

They also have cash crops to harvest.

The yield of sugarcane per mu is quite high. Judging from the sugarcane that has been harvested so far, one mu of land has a yield of two jin, far less than the modern sugarcane yield of eight jin per mu.

With such a high yield per mu, the actual sugar yield is low, much lower than modern sugarcane. One hundred kilograms of sugarcane can produce about ten kilograms of sucrose, but the yield per mu of sugarcane is enough.

In order to deal with a large amount of sugarcane, Ji Lin had already exchanged for a special sugarcane sugar factory. Although a general sugar factory can convert a large amount of crops into sugar, the effect on specific varieties of crops is naturally not as good as a special sugar factory.

Ji Lin's deputy, agricultural director, construction director, and human resources director-Chongshan suggested so.

Chongshan believes that although his lord needs to be proficient in agriculture, he still needs to know a little about the relevant knowledge.

Since his agricultural director said so, buy it!

Ji Lin waved his hand.

The territory is still rich, and things like agriculture are sloppy. If you buy, buy the best!

Then he opened the market and saw those guys who were asking for too much. The cheapest blueprint of the sugarcane sugar factory was 2,000 gold.

Ji Lin searched for a long time but didn't find any leaks. The rarity level of specialized blueprints was higher than that of general blueprints because such blueprints often contained some manufacturing technologies.

He also asked Fang Ai and Li Yan, and got a blueprint of a winemaking workshop, but no sugarcane sugar factory.

The sugarcane that was about to be harvested in the territory would not make him wait too long, because there was a lot of sugarcane in the territory.

Reluctantly, he bought the cheapest blueprint of the sugarcane sugar factory on the market for 2,000 gold.

[Sugarcane Sugar Factory]

[Prototype Blueprint (changed with the times)]

[A large-scale sugar factory with a large number of ancient sugar-making facilities can convert sugarcane crops into relatively pure sugarcane and obtain sugarcane residue. Current territory: green sugar cane, 10% sugar yield. ]

[Sugar, a strategic material, can provide delicious food for people, but can also make destructive weapons. Although sugar cane is sweet, you can't eat too much, eating too much will cause tooth decay! ]

One mu of sugar cane field, 200,000 catties per mu, 10% sugar yield, equivalent to 200,000 catties of sugar.

Ji Lin smacked his lips, 200,000 catties of sugar, one mu of land can produce so much. It was still a yield that was severely cut by the system. No wonder the colonists in the previous life liked to build sugar cane plantations in overseas colonies and transport them to the mainland.

The territory relied on coastal salting to obtain a large amount of crude sea salt, and now it relies on the fresh water provided by the river to obtain sugar.

But from now on, the territory's sugarcane will also enter the process of self-sufficiency... Even though Fang Ai and Li Yan need to import sugarcane, the tree people can directly synthesize sugar and do not have a particularly strong demand.

Ji Lin had seen the wonderful ideas of the tree people lords on the forum in his previous life. The crooked way of feeding the tree people with a large amount of inorganic salts and sugar to make them grow quickly was to treat the tree people as ordinary plants.

Dragons and elves should also like sugar, right?

Ji Lin has already started thinking about how to export trade and exchange resources back to the territory, and sugarcane can be added to the territory's export list.

He used sugar to make up for the two gold coins from the market.

With sugar and cotton, you can start making powerful gunpowder, but Ji Lin has already used crystal ore mixed with gunpowder, which has better explosive power, burning speed and gas production efficiency than ordinary gunpowder. Naturally, he is as eager for normal gunpowder as other lords.

Sugarcane cultivation requires a lot of fresh water, which consumes the territory's freshwater resources abnormally. Only territories like Jilin, which rely on rivers and have inexhaustible freshwater, can carry out large-scale cultivation.

Sugarcane cultivation requires a lot of water. If a normal territory dares to do this, it will drain the territory's freshwater resources in minutes.

The rich resources brought by the autumn harvest naturally need a place to store them. He is anxious to harvest the ginger and carrot fields. It would be good for these things to stay in the field for a while and let them reproduce themselves.

At present, just harvesting sugarcane and two staple foods, and then processing them after harvesting, processing them into edible and long-term storage resources, the more than 30 people currently engaged in agricultural production in the territory have been busy for a while.

The cotton all over the ground can be harvested and handed over to the tailor shop. Cotton, like sugar extracted from sugarcane, will lose some quality due to process problems, so the tailor shop needs to spend more time to process the newly picked cotton.

The time for these tailor shops to fish and dry their nets is over, and it is time to start working with all their strength.

The crop processing area was selected far away from the agricultural area, at the junction of the river plain and the ordinary plain, occupying arable land, far away from the residential area, and building a large number of wooden houses to store a large amount of staple food.

The primary wooden houses given by the system are ventilated, moisture-proof, cool, large in space, and extremely resource-intensive. In addition to being too comfortable for people to live in, they are the best choice for storing supplies.

Sugarcane sugar factories and wine workshops were also built here, and the living standards of the territory began to stride towards a normal prosperous town.

[Wine Brewing Workshop]

[Prototype blueprint (changes with the times)]

[A relatively simple wine brewing workshop, providing the most basic wine yeast, and can use crops and sugar to make wine. ]

[Cooking sheep and slaughtering cattle for fun, and drinking 300 cups at a time. ]
