Li Ke is a little worried. If this is 500,000 tons of high-yield wheat, Li Ke can directly promote at least one million acres of high-quality wheat this year.
The improved wheat varieties cultivated in modern times, even in land like Datang, which lacks chemical fertilizers, are probably at least double the wheat varieties of Datang in fertile fields, so there should be no problem, right?
The maximum wheat yield in Datang is 1.5 shi, or about 180 kilograms, per mu. Only a few fertile fields such as farmyard manure can reach 2 shi, or 240 kilograms.
The modern wheat yield per mu is about 1,000 kilograms. If converted into Tang Dynasty acres, the yield per mu is 800 kilograms. If there is no chemical fertilizer, it is okay to get a discount, right?
If alfalfa rotation is used, Li Ke thinks that as long as the fields are similar, there should be no problem in maintaining a yield of 4 shi.
This output is equivalent to doubling the grain output of the entire Tang Dynasty, which means that there will be no shortage of food in the Tang Dynasty.
What's more, there is also the supplementary cultivation of potatoes. Large-scale promotion of potatoes will definitely not be possible in the entire Datang. Instead, priority will be given to promoting cultivation in Daozhou that is suitable for potato growth. When there are excess parts, potatoes will be promoted to some areas that are not suitable for potato growth. Places that are very suitable for growing potatoes, such as Jiangnan and other places.
If it is promoted there, the potatoes will be left to the people to grow as many as they want, and the people can use them as vegetables.
The main potato-producing areas in later generations are Gansu, Inner Mongolia, Shanxi, Shandong, Sichuan, and Yunnan-Guizhou. In fact, potato production in the three northeastern provinces used to be very high, but the land in the three northeastern provinces was later used for other strategic planting, and the potato planting area was reduced a lot. .
Once these areas are promoted and cultivated, it is estimated that Datang's current population will be able to support a tenfold increase.
Unfortunately, what I got was not wheat, but frozen pork.
Okay, if you want to freeze pork, just freeze pork. Such a lot of meat can be used for this training. Originally, Li Ke had already asked Tian Meng to prepare to purchase a large number of pigs and sheep.
It seems that there is no need to acquire them now. Let the people continue to raise and breed them. However, some people can buy them if they sell them. First, plant alfalfa near Chang'an to raise sheep. Then the lambs can be sold to the people.
Anyway, Datang now has fewer people and fewer people.
With these 500,000 tons of frozen pork, Li Ke trained these 5,000 soldiers. Calculated based on one pound of pork per person per day, it was enough for them to feed them for more than 500 years. Li Ke could be very energetic.
Okay, more pork, that’s a good thing!
When you start training, it’s just right to use it to draw them!
After seeing all the pork, Li Ke didn't even bother to close the door. Anyway, time here is equivalent to standing still. Let alone freezing, even fresh pork will not go bad if it is kept here for many years.
Leaving the warehouse in his mind, Li Ke called Tian Meng over and told him not to buy a large number of pigs to raise. If there are people who are willing to sell them, they can buy them and keep them first instead of killing them.
There are not many people living here in Guiyifang. There are only a dozen or so households in each city, and the land is all cultivated, but it doesn't matter, just dig up the land.
There are no people on the land in many places in Chang'an City, and then the people can plant, but these lands are not theirs, just because these lands have always been abandoned, the people living nearby use them to grow some food or vegetables. Yes, but if the official wants to use it, these people have no right to stop it.
Of course, no one dared to stop it, after all, the land itself was not theirs.
However, Li Ke came here this time to buy their houses from these people. As for the vacant land, because the spring plowing had just begun, these people had not had time to plant, so they did not need to pay compensation.
These people are naturally very willing to see His Highness the King of Qin buy their houses. Not to mention the reputation of His Highness the King of Qin, just say that the money given to them by His Highness the King of Qin is enough for them to buy houses closer to the East and West markets. No one is unwilling!
Soon, all the people in Guiyi Square were relocated, and then their houses were directly knocked down. Thousands of people who had already been re-employed entered the site and began to compact and level the land.
In just two days, all the land in Guiyifang was compacted and leveled, and then the construction team under Li Ke began to circle a place next to Guiyifang to build a school.
As for another large area, it was just fenced off, and wooden barracks began to be built inside.
The wooden barracks were built very quickly. This thing is just a huge frame. It doesn't need to be very precise. It just needs to be protected from wind and rain. The roof is made of wheat straw thatched roof, and the inside is all made of two-story wooden bed frames. These wooden beds are incomparable with those of later generations. The cushions underneath are all thatched, and a layer of burlap is spread on top to serve as sheets. As for the quilt, a small amount of wool is used as the quilt core.
All this construction took only five days to complete. Just the day before everyone gathered, Li Ke suddenly remembered something. He ran over to look at the previously unlocked warehouse on the ground, but he hadn't looked at the underground part yet. , in case there is a newly unlocked warehouse, the underground is the best thing!
Thinking of this, Li Ke re-entered the warehouse and went straight underground.
When Li Ke looked past the lens he had seen before, sure enough, a new underground warehouse appeared in front of him again. Li Ke's face surged with joy. Without saying a word, he walked over and opened the warehouse door. When he opened the thick Behind the warehouse door, piles of boxes neatly appeared in front of Li Ke.
Seeing the medicine logo on the box, a trace of ecstasy flashed across Li Ke's face, holy shit! Drug warehouse? ! This is an artifact!
All the boxes were neat and uniform. Li Ke directly took down the top box and opened it. When he opened it, small military green boxes with the August 1st logo engraved inside appeared in front of him.
Li Ke took out a small box and opened it directly.
The things in the box are very simple. There are not many things in it, only six kinds. Seeing this thing... Li Ke was stunned for a moment, and then picked up the special injection with a needle at the front first. This thing... ...It looks a bit familiar.
The injection is very small. Except for the needle, the medicine in the sealed medicine bag at the back is not even as big as the tip of your little finger.
There is a line written on the medicine bag: pralidoxime, an antidote for phosphorus poisoning.
Li Ke: "..."
He glanced at the back. Although the medicine bag was screwed on the needle, it was not tightened. When the locking structure was opened and the plastic medicine bag was tightened, the structure inside should directly pierce the medicine bag and then administer the drug.
Phosphorus poisoning? Where is this thing used?
Li Ke picked up the second small syringe, which read: pethidine, a powerful analgesic injection.
Same usage.
