Visited a circle of military camps to express condolences.
Zhang Qi was very satisfied with the spirit of these servants under his command.
After dozens of days of rigorous training, they are now bloody warriors.
The subtext of loyalty in this era is food, money, and power.
It just so happens that Zhang Qi can satisfy them, and can also give him a set of special features that others cannot give.
'True' faith.
The monthly Advent Day allowed Zhang Qi to completely implant the majesty of the gods into the hearts of all the people under his command.
Real miracles are more convincing than the vague legends of the past.
Reward in one hand, faith in the other.
With both material and spiritual comfort, it is not difficult for Zhang Qi to imagine what kind of fighting power these people will unleash in future battles.
Two or three days passed in a row.
The farmland in the 'Sotai Village' in the world of riding and slashing has also matured twice.
Zhang Qi went in there after the first sorghum matured.
The sorghum fields as tall as a person are very spectacular. One acre of the 200-acre field brought him 500 kilograms of sorghum ears on average.
The income from two hundred acres is nearly 100,000 kilograms of sorghum rice.
Zhang Qi was greatly shocked. This was close to the yield per mu of the era he lived in before. Although the close value was very low, it far exceeded the yield per mu of all crops during the Han and Hungarian periods.
You must know that in this era, if the output of one acre of land can reach 200 kilograms, it is fertile land, and if the output can reach 300 kilograms, it is God's mercy.
Zhang Qi's output from the farmland of Suotai Village in the Riding World has already exceeded twice that of the outside world.
I just don’t know if these sorghum rice can achieve such a high yield when grown outside.
Zhang Qi didn't know, he had to wait until spring to get a piece of his own land and try planting.
If these sorghums can still achieve high output value in the outside world, let alone 500 kilograms, as long as one acre of land can produce more than 300 kilograms, he will laugh half to death.
The farmland in Suotai produced nearly 100,000 kilograms of sorghum rice, and the sorghum that accounts for the most weight is not the 'ear'.
But stems and leaves!
On average, one acre of two hundred acres of land yields more than ten thousand catties of stems and leaves, while two hundred acres of land yields nearly two million catties!
This is a good source of green storage material.
Only at this moment did Zhang Qi clearly understand why sorghum could save a country in that special era.
Planting it is so cost-effective!
Unfortunately, the full maturity of sorghum has taken away most of the sugar in the sorghum stalks. The sweet stalks at this time are not sweet at all, and there is not much moisture left, so they can only be used as green storage.
But asking Zhang Qi to take out the two million kilograms of green treasure is just a dream. He doesn't even have that many dinars after selling him.
We can only stay in the riding and cutting world and see if the market accepts it. If the market does not accept it, then these two million kilograms of stems and leaves can only be used as firewood.
Unfortunately, the market doesn't want these things that are worth more than the garbage on the robbers.
After harvesting the first batch of sorghum, Zhang Qi immediately planted the second batch.
If Zhang Qi still wants to know the yield of the first batch of sorghum, then he does not need to wait until the second batch of sorghum is mature.
He wants the sweet pole.
Used to make sugar to speed up the physical recuperation of the soldiers outside.
Sweet straw has many uses. Whether it is used to make syrup or make wine, it can obtain a lot of output. Even the residue after use can be used as a raw material for papermaking.
So Zhang Qi appeared again after the 20th time of riding and cutting after the second batch of sorghum entered the farmland.
Together with the wolf cubs and craftsmen, they harvested 1.8 million kilograms of sweet stalks and more than 200,000 kilograms of sorghum branches and leaves.
The sugar boiling begins.
Zhang Qi had long ago asked the craftsmen who came to the world of riding and cutting to build pressing equipment, and they also built the juice press on the drawing drawn by Zhang Qi.
Two cylindrical iron columns are fixed on a frame and can run in two different directions at the same time through the linkage of gears and animal belts.
This is the simplest juice press. As long as you keep shaking the handle, the machine can keep rotating and squeezing the sweet stem.
With the equipment, Zhang Qi led people to squeeze the juice non-stop in the world of riding and slashing.
After more than two months of intermittent riding and cutting, Zhang Qi and the others were able to squeeze more than 1.8 million kilograms of sweet poles into sugar water.
More than 4,000 barrels were packed in wooden barrels that could hold 200 kilograms.
There are nearly 800,000 kilograms of sugar water. Of course, the sweetness of this sugar water is not high. Zhang Qi has tasted it and there is only a trace of sweetness, just like boiled water mixed with white sugar.
It still needs to be processed and boiled to get syrup. If the 800,000 kilograms of sweet water can produce more than 100,000 kilograms of syrup, Zhang Qi will be very satisfied.
Glucose is not white sugar, it cannot solidify, it is just a viscous sugar liquid.
Perhaps Zhang Qi's previous era had a process that could convert sugar syrup into solid white sugar or brown sugar, but Zhang Qi is still unable to do so.
After another ten days of riding and cutting down the world, Zhang Qi let out a sigh of relief as he looked at the thick and red slurry in the pot that looked like honey.
During this time, he worked with several craftsmen on research, and finally figured out a process for making sugar.
The conversion ratio of sweet water to sugar dilute is almost twenty pounds to one pound, which is already the highest ratio of sugar to sugar that Zhang Qi and the others have found.
After all the sweet water was boiled into syrup, more than 800,000 kilograms of sweet water brought Zhang Qi 40,000 kilograms of syrup.
Although it was far less than the 100,000 kilograms expected, Zhang Qi was satisfied.
Because he found that the market did not accept straw that could be used as green storage material, but sugar syrup could be sold in the market for one hundred dinars per pound.
It seems that NPCs in the world of riding and slashing also love to eat sweets.
In the yurt, Zhang Qi appeared outside with five barrels of sugar syrup weighing one thousand kilograms.
More than five months in the world of riding and cutting, less than six days have passed in the outside world.
This thousand kilograms of sugar syrup together with the weight of the barrel cost Zhang Qi more than 110,000 dinars.
Small money, not worth mentioning!
Zhang Qi now has two profitable businesses in the world of riding and slashing.
Forge iron and boil sugar!
Over the past two years, Sojal has produced more and more blueprints, and a two-handed sword he now builds can be sold for five to six thousand.
The newly produced sugar syrup can also be sold in the market for a high price of one hundred dinars per pound.
Haqin's caravans are already crazy busy. Her caravans can be found in every corner of the Cavalry and Cutting Continent. On average, they can bring Zhang Qi more than ten thousand dinars in income in one day, after deducting the salary of the troops. Zhang Qi now earns more than 130,000 dinars a day from riding around the world, which is nearly two million dinars a month.
This is not a miscalculation of Zhang Qi's math score, but that Ha Qin also needs time to come back to replenish supplies. By the way, the towns in the riding and slashing world also need some time to recover funds.
