Chapter 56: Yielding a Thousand Catties per Mu
In short, it's calculated like this. No wonder everyone is so excited!
Liu Yi also sighed in his heart for this plan. He had spent all his savings, but only prepared seeds for 1,000 mu of land.
It's not that Liu Yi didn't want to buy more seeds, but this kind of hybrid seed requires fertilizers. Without fertilizers, it's impossible to have such a yield. Liu Yi calculated that he could support high yields on 1,000 acres of land, which was already his limit.
Moreover, from an economic point of view, it is still a losing business. After all, the price at which supermarkets purchase goods is too low, only one-tenth of their actual value.
One gram of gold is worth over 20 yuan, one gram of silver is only worth a few cents. Liu Yi said last time that the tomb of Princess Yu Guo was looted and it was only exchanged for tens of millions of funds.
One mu of land requires seeds worth 20-30 yuan, and fertilizers and pesticides cost over 100 yuan per mu. Calculating this way, for one thousand mu of land, the funds in Liu Yi's hands are barely enough, probably not even sufficient.
Even if the yield is 2,000 jin per mu, 1,000 mu would only produce 20 million jin. At a price of 1.5 yuan, that's only 3 million yuan. Calculated at a ratio of 10:1, it's only a paltry 300,000 yuan.
Even if Liu Yi takes back all the rice, he can't even break even. He will definitely lose money, and it's a huge loss! Not to mention that from start to finish, Liu Yi never planned on taking back these grains anyway.
It's not calculated like this!
Liu Yi wants is sensational, wants to influence. Think about it, two thousand kilograms of yield per mu, in this land of only one or two hundred kilograms of yield per mu, after spreading out into the world, what kind of sensation will it cause?
It can be said that even the royal family will hear about it. Everyone will respectfully invite Liu Yi to the capital, and let the people of the world worship him...
It can be said that Liu Yi was able to leap into the most important deity in agricultural society. His position is irreplaceable and unshakeable!
As for large-scale promotion? This is a model field.
Once the reputation of high-yielding crops spreads, there is no need to deal with these good varieties. Just improve the planting technology a bit, and although the exaggerated yield of 2,000 kilograms will not appear again, but an annual output of around 1,000 kilograms is not a difficult task.
These calculations, Liu Yi did not intend to let people know. What he is going to do now is just make an advertisement!
He didn't mind losing money, even if it meant losing everything. As long as he succeeded, Liu Yi's gains would be a thousand times, ten thousand times more!
At this time, Liu Yi began teaching these people how to plant rice. How to sow and raise seedlings, how to transplant and fertilize, etc.
The planting technology in this place is extremely low. Liu Yi has seen that some people here plant rice, but they don't pay attention to these things at all. Otherwise, even without good seeds and fertilizers, the yield wouldn't be so low.
It is worth noting that Liu Yihui vaguely knew that in the original world, during the Song and Ming dynasties, the yield of paddy rice per mu in Jiangnan could reach as high as 60-70 dan. Converted to kilograms, it would be around 700-800 kg!
That's all based on generation after generation of self-selection and breeding, as well as meticulous cultivation, and digging pond mud to supplement fertilizer.
In short, after this meeting, the three villages quickly took action. Each household was allocated paddy seeds according to their population, and then prepared for spring sowing.
Fortunately, the water source is rich at the foot of Fenglai Mountain, and the original fields for planting chestnuts can be easily converted into paddy fields. It's not a difficult task to create thousands of acres of paddy fields.
With Liu Yi, the mountain god and land deity, presiding over and guiding the earth's veins and water forces, it became even more convenient. In just a few days, they transformed thousands of acres of paddy fields.
During this period, Liu Yi frequently contacted the leaders of three villages and taught them how to plant.
These things Liu Yi originally didn't understand either. Fortunately, in the supermarket, there were some popular science books on agricultural technology that allowed Liu Yi to learn and sell at the same time.
Later generations, due to the rapid growth of population, led to a continuous decrease in land, and were forced to gradually start intensive farming. In this era, the land was vast and the people were sparse. With 20 mu of land per capita, relying solely on manpower and part of cattle power, only rough farming could be done.
However, this time the three villages were all organized by Liu Yi, using an organization similar to a cooperative to serve these thousands of acres of rice fields.
Also make this spring broadcasting season more prosperous and thriving.
It was at this time that a man in a hurry walked into Liu Yi's temple.
He wore a hemp garment and a bamboo hat. If it weren't for his tall stature and the long sword at his waist, he wouldn't have been particularly eye-catching.
But as soon as he walked into the Phoenix, he immediately caught Liu Yi's attention.
This person's aura was sharp to the extreme, carrying a fierce and ruthless killing intent. Ordinary people might not be able to see it, but Liu Yi could see it clearly. This person's vital energy was concentrated into one, all three fires were hidden. The whole body's energy was like a sword, transformed into a dark green aura, hiding without emitting.
It's clear that this person is a rare and exceptional swordsman, having even cultivated the Sword Aura. This is incredibly formidable, to the point of being able to slay ghosts and gods!
It was Liu Yi who had summoned the token to elevate him to the realm of Chi Xiao Zhu Tian, and he also had some reservations about it, not wanting to confront this person directly.
The most important thing is that this person is the guard Shentu Hu who was always by Qi Sheng's side.
Just seeing this person come, Liu Yi couldn't help but let out a soft sigh. It seems that Qi Sheng is really about to lose his temper and take action.
Thinking, he gathered his spirits. His consciousness descended into the statue, and he saw Shen Tu Hu light three incense sticks, saying straightforwardly: "Your enemy, Yun Quan, has arrived in Sanhe County to take office as the county magistrate. You are preparing an opportunity to lure Yun Quan to Fenglai Mountain. At that time, you will also ask the Land God for help!"
As he spoke, he gazed straight at the three incense sticks where wisps of blue smoke were rising.
Liu Yi took a deep breath in reverse, and actually wanted to assassinate the governor of a prefecture! This matter was truly daring and heaven-defying.
A county governor, a fourth-rank official in the imperial court, equivalent to two thousand stones, with the qualifications to establish a family temple. He is already a senior minister of the imperial court.
Moreover, the power of the governor is extremely great, and it can be said that he views the county as a country. In the county, he is like a monarch of a country. When riding a horse, he commands the army; when dismounting, he governs the people. The magnitude of his power is absolutely incomparable to that of the prefectural governor who was also respectfully referred to in later generations!
It is entirely possible for such a person to travel freely with over a hundred guards and soldiers by their side.
While Qi Sheng was bold enough to plot against the governor, even if he succeeded, the imperial court would likely hold him responsible.
When the time comes, I will also accompany Qi Sheng in his misfortune.
But is there an opportunity for regret? It seems not...
Not to mention the tiger-like swordsman, Shen Tu Hu, who was already putting his hand on the hilt of his sword due to Liu Yi's hesitation, and would strike at any moment.
