Chapter 90 The New Farm ([-])

"Okay, let's figure out the family fortune first." Wu Nanhai suggested at the first plenary meeting of the Council of Agriculture.

The Agriculture Committee originally had a ledger, but since the 50-odd days since it landed, some changes have taken place in the numbers and types, so it needs to be revised again.

In terms of seeds, they have a 100-kilogram hybrid rice seed. This big killer is not as magical as it is said in the legend. It is essentially a "mule" in the plant world. It has many advantages, but it cannot be bred.The purpose of Wu Nanhai to bring these seeds is to obtain a bumper harvest in the first year and stabilize the grain reserves.With food, there is everything.

Other kinds of rice seeds are 50 kg each, totaling 1000 kg, including Guangguichao and Shuanggui, which are widely planted in Lingao in the 70s and [-]s, and are high-yielding and lodging-resistant rice species adapted to the local water and soil.

100 kg of high-yield sweet potatoes that will be promoted in the future. In 1628, there should have been sweet potatoes planted in Hainan, and these were high-quality seed potatoes.Potatoes also brought 100 kilograms. The water and soil conditions in Lingao are not suitable for planting potatoes. However, this crop can be used not only as vegetables but also as food and feed. It has great potential to be extended to the mainland in the future.Another 20 kg of kudzu vines, 20 kg of high-quality alfalfa seeds.

100 kg each of corn, wheat, and barley seeds, and 10 kg each of soybeans, mung beans, red beans, black beans, etc.

Vegetable seeds: green peppers, tomatoes, cabbage, green vegetables, carrots, pumpkins, cucumbers, onions, all kinds of onions, garlic, etc., 1 kg each.

Spices could be easily obtained in Southeast Asia through maritime trade at that time, so I only brought red pepper and pepper seeds, 10 varieties, a total of 10 kilograms

Before boarding the ship, he also bought several large bags of 1 kg seeds of fruits suitable for growing in Hainan.

In the end, he did not forget his little hobby of tobacco. 10 kilograms of tobacco seeds will bring him a monopoly in the tobacco planting industry in the future. Wu Nanhai has already planned to produce cigarettes by himself once he grows tobacco.

All seeds are formally packaged and should have a storage period of 2 years. Some varieties are not suitable for local planting and are prepared for northern regions, so I purchased vacuum packaging that can be stored for 7-8 years.

"These are the seeds." Ye Yuming introduced, "There are still some seedlings that need to be transplanted to the nursery as soon as possible."

There are also many seedlings brought: 50 coconut saplings, 50 rubber saplings, 20 coffee saplings, 20 cocoa saplings, 20 coca saplings, 50 quinine saplings, 5 poppy saplings, and some timber trees and fast-growing trees And fruit tree saplings, sugarcane, banana cultivation stems.These plants are very useful to them, but the difficulty of management and cultivation is not small.Wu Nanhai remembers that the teacher of the hot work major said in class that when the educated youth farm in Yunnan specialized in cultivating quinine seedlings, the germination rate was as low as less than 5%, and the quinine seeds were even said to be priced at gold.Quinine is a specific medicine for malaria. Without it, the colonists' plans to go north to Taiwan and south to Southeast Asia would all be in vain.Therefore, in addition to the seedlings, I also brought some seeds as a backup.

In terms of livestock and poultry, there are currently 6 pigs, two pairs of Landrace pigs and one pair of Northeast Mineral pigs.Landrace pigs are lean-meat pigs imported from Denmark and are used as the male parent of hybridization; Dongbeimin pigs are a local breed in the Northeast region, which are resistant to rough feeding and have many litters, and are used as the female parent of hybridization.Moreover, the fat deposition rate of this pig is particularly high, which is convenient for obtaining animal fat.Now they have 4 more local Miao pigs.

On the horse and animal power table of the Agricultural Committee, only a pair of Tieling draft horses were brought, which were relatively rare draft horses in ancient China.Nick's two racehorses were not under their management, but after the death of "Lan Dian", the sad Nick put "Alanchi" under the Agricultural Committee to raise them.In the beginning, Wu Nanhai was the eldest, because Nick’s various demands for care annoyed him: Why did he have to be fed five times a day, and he had to be given warm water to drink... until Yang Baogui said that the old racehorse was still Something of some value - a mare.

"If it was a stallion, it would have been eunuched when it was two or three years old when it was trained for horse racing. Now it is a waste." Yang Baogui is quite satisfied with this horse.

"How big is it?"

"Thirteen or fourteen years old." Yang Baogui looked at his notebook, "I haven't checked their teeth yet, and horses can live to be 30 years old. This horse is not good enough to be a racehorse, but it can make do as a stud mare." .”

The three captured local horses were identified by Yang Guigui as all Yunnan horses, about seven or eight years old, and two of them were geldings.These three horses can be used for direct service.

"It's better to get some more horses." Wu Nanhai looked at the various small agricultural machinery that had not been unloaded in the yard. They had small walking tractors, as well as large and medium tractors that were currently occupied by the engineering department. It seems that there must be some draft animals that can be drawn.To enter the era of mules and horses as soon as possible before the various resources of mechanization are exhausted, not only must meet their own needs, but also meet the needs of farmers who adopt new farming methods.

"There are too many places to use horses, but Hainan is not suitable for raising horses." Yang Baogui shook his head, "The climate is a little hotter, and the rainy season is too humid. Horses are super delicate."

"How about some mules?" Ye Yuming suggested, "Don't you have a pair of donkeys?"

"Please, I'm not going to go now..."

"?" Ye Yuming looked puzzled, and even Wu Nanhai, a man who is usually very serious and standard, laughed lasciviously:

"That's right!" Wu Nanhai recalled that when he was in the animal husbandry class, the teacher taught about horse breeding. This class made girls born in the 80s blush with embarrassment.

"What?" Yang Baogui asked Wu Nanhai with a smile.

"No, I just took this class and watched pornographic videos for horses a few times."

"The matter of mating mules will be put on hold for now. The breeding season of horses will not start until March. And this kind of animal is very nervous. I have tossed them too much recently. Let them rest and fatten up first, so that they can get used to it. Let's talk about the environment."

In addition to these big guys, there are also inconspicuous but very useful small animals: 2 pairs of rabbits (one pair for fur and one for meat), 4 roosters of different breeds (half for meat and half for eggs) and 20 rabbits Hens, 2 pairs of ducks, 2 pairs of turkeys, 10 pigeons - also Nick's private property.In the end, there was a flower cat brought by an unknown girl. It seems to have been forgotten now, and there is still a beautiful bow around its neck.

In addition to these living things, there are also animals in some cellular states: a liquid nitrogen storage tank containing goats, sheep, fine-bred beef cattle, and dairy cows.The jar is currently stored in the ship's cold storage.However, they do not have the technology to produce liquid nitrogen, so they must find a suitable local female parent as soon as possible.

After taking stock of their properties, the Laidex farmers in the 21st century leveled the land and built simple poultry sheds. The free-range farms covered with sandy soil were surrounded by dense bamboo fences, and loofahs, lentils and gourds were planted to feed chickens and ducks. Shade, and vegetables can be harvested, killing two birds with one stone.

However, after a long journey, these chickens, ducks and poultry looked obviously dull and had a low appetite.There is something wrong with constantly disturbing these animals.I hope that the vast world and fresh air here can restore them as soon as possible. The brothers are still waiting to eat eggs.

Wu Nanhai set up a grape trellis on the aisle of the yard, planted fruit trees in the open space on both sides, and planted several ridges under the trees, planted various herbs and medicinal materials.

"You're going to turn the yard upside down!" Huang Dashan came over pushing his two-wheeled cart. He had just been transferred to the Agricultural Committee through the manpower team.On the trolley was his luggage.

"Hehe, in a few days, the flowers and fruits will be fragrant here." Wu Nanhai looked proudly at the messy shelves tied up with bamboo poles and ropes, and he glanced at the newcomer wearing thick glasses:

"you are?"

"I am Huang Dashan, and this is my order." Huang Dashan pulled out a small piece of paper from his pocket.

"Welcome, welcome!" Wu Nanhai recalled that this person had applied several times to come to the Council of Agriculture, and the reason for the application was that he was good at cultivating edible fungi, and he brought a lot of fungus strains and medium, "Are you engaged in fungi cultivation? "

"No," Huang Dashan smiled harmlessly, "I'm a biochemical laboratory experimenter, and my specialty is the cultivation of bacteria/viruses in live animals. However, cultivating mushroom strains is purely a sideline to subsidize income."

"Then treat the side job as your main job." Wu Nanhai was very satisfied with the newcomer's combat power, "Where do you think your mushroom shed is suitable?"

"Cultivate it under the fruit tree. The grape trellis is the most suitable place." Huang Dashan looked around, "Plant oyster mushrooms that are easy to live first, this is a good species, and the yield is large. No need to build a shed. Later If the conditions are met, build a few more dedicated cultivation sheds. I have a lot of strains. But I have to give me a room as a laboratory, and I can bring common equipment for biochemical laboratories." He then added, "It's better to have a relatively independent house, far away from other creatures..."

"Huh?" Wu Nanhai didn't understand what he meant, but he still nodded.

Yang Baogui was allocated a room as a veterinary office, plus a bedroom.He has been working tirelessly to hide in his tent and carry them in the simple room. The large and small boxes that he has worked so hard to carry along the way finally found a safe place, which contains a full set of animal medical equipment and information books.Wu Nanhai plans to vacate a house to store the agricultural books, planting manuals and various teaching video CDs he brought, as a special agricultural technology library.
