It was only after Lu Jing asked Wu Han for advice that he realized that he still took farming for granted.
Reality is not a game. Just click the mouse a few times, sprinkle the seeds, and then press the shortcut keys to cast the spell and everything will be fine.
Lushness can certainly promote the growth of plants, but that does not mean that there is no need to choose a suitable environment, cultivate land, water and fertilize.
The plants he used to grow in the back mountain were basically the plants that were already growing there. Now that he is planting them from scratch, he has a lot to consider.
Take the simplest sowing as an example. If Wu Han hadn't told him, Lu Jing would have known that ginseng likes shade, but he didn't know what kind of soil it needed, or how deep to bury the seeds when planting, and how far apart they should be. How many should there be, should we remove the seedlings, etc...
As for how to deal with illnesses and insect infestations, he was even more confused. Even if he heard Wu Han explain it once, it was difficult for him to make a correct judgment in the first place because he had no corresponding experience.
After listening to it, Lu Jing almost wanted to go from getting started to giving up.
But he soon realized that he was actually a bit over the top.
His main purpose was to practice being lush, and farming was just to make some extra money. Wu Han also promised to provide him with seeds. If he planted the seeds, the harvest would be his, and if he didn't, he would have nothing to lose.
After thinking about it like this, Lu Jing no longer had any worries.
Following Wu Han's instructions, he chose a shady slope on the back mountain, cultivated half an acre of land there, and threw down all five hundred ginseng seeds.
After that, no matter what, I rolled up my sleeves and started to show off my lushness on the edge of the field.
Lu Jing could feel the secret power pouring out from the Niwan Palace, turning into spells and falling on his newly opened medicinal field. About half an hour later, there was finally movement in the originally bare soil, and each tree Young seedlings burst out of the soil.
You must know that if the seeds in the ground are allowed to grow naturally, the process of emergence alone will take almost a month.
Farming... doesn't seem that difficult.
Lu Jing felt that he had found the cheat code for farming. But when he stopped and checked the medicine field, he couldn't laugh anymore.
Because he found that the young seedlings did not look like ginseng seedlings, but more like the weeds that had been removed from his yard before.
After Lu Jing thought for a moment, he quickly understood what was going on.
There should be a lot of grass seeds in the medicine field he cultivated. These grass seeds are wrapped in the soil like the ginseng seeds he dropped before.
And the number was more than his ginseng seeds, so most of the lush greenery that Lu Jing displayed fell on these grass seeds, causing them to grow wildly.
As we all know, weeding is a worldwide problem, especially when there are no herbicides. Manual removal is not tiring for a first-class expert like Lu Jing, but it is a bit too time-consuming. In addition, you have to find a way to identify it. Ginseng seedlings are coming.
Lu Jing gave up on this difficult project after only a brief attempt.
The most precious thing for him now is time, and he has no time to lie down on the field and identify each plant, so in the end his solution is very simple, that is - lie down.
Anyway, there are weeds next to ginseng in the wild, so if there are a few weeds in the medicinal field... it shouldn't be a big deal.
Lu Jing comforted himself like this.
Competition can bring progress. This was not said by him, but by Darwin.
He had heard the story of wolves and sheep since he was a child. Everyone thought that the sheep would continue to grow and develop without the threat of natural enemies, but they never thought that the lack of competition would accelerate the degradation of the sheep, causing them to eat too much. , if you move too little, your life span will be greatly reduced.
Isn’t the fate of the flock worthy of alarm? !
Well, Lu Jing admitted that the main reason was that the seeds were free of charge.
…………
After determining the development policy of the ecological farm, Lu Jing poured some more water into the medicinal fields, and then continued to display the lush greenery.
As a result, after he had practiced for two hours, he lowered his head and found that the medicinal field in front of him had turned into a large patch of weeds, with dense weeds everywhere.
Lu Jing looked at the results of his busy afternoon and couldn't help but scratch his head. He felt that even the effort of setting up the magic array could be saved, because this place no longer looked like a medicine field.
If you want to find the ginseng inside, you have to work hard to dig through the grass, and you have to have good eyesight.
To be honest, this was quite different from Lu Jing's expectation, but he had no choice but to do this for the time being.
Lu Jing looked at the remaining Polygonum multiflorum seeds in his hand, and planned to find a sunny place nearby tomorrow to do the same.
After that, I continued to use Lush on both sides.
As for the final harvest, Lu Jing doesn't have high expectations now.
If it doesn't work, just find other ways to make money. Anyway, there is still half a year, so it's not too urgent.
Seeing that the sun was about to set, Lu Jing also packed up his things and walked towards his residence, planning to go back and practice sword-wielding for a while.
As a result, he saw Chen Hanqing, a disciple of the Divine Fist Sect, outside his courtyard from a distance.
The latter changed into a smart outfit this time, held a heavy sword in his arms, and stood in front of his courtyard with his chest raised. This appearance attracted the attention of many passers-by.
From time to time, people pointed at him, but he just closed his eyes and didn't answer, as if he didn't care at all. But Lu Jing noticed that he actually kept his ears open, eavesdropping on the discussions of those around him.
"Brother Chen, you are fine. Why did you come to me this time?"
After hearing Lu Jing's question, Chen Hanqing finally opened his eyes, then a look of sullenness appeared on his face, and he sneered.
"Dear Master Lu, you are so noble and forgetful. Did you forget our agreement this morning so quickly? Or are you deliberately leaving me here just to embarrass me? If so, I am afraid you will disappoint Master Lu. I'm here The longer you stand outside the door, the more people will see your cowardice!"
"What agreement do I have with you?" Lu Jing was stumped by this question.
"War letter." Chen Hanqing spat out two words coldly from between his teeth.
"Oh, but didn't you have a messenger? I thought you would ask the messenger to deliver it directly." Lu Jing really didn't expect Chen Hanqing to come here in person for this matter.
This is too polite.
Chen Hanqing was so choked by Lu Jing's words that he didn't say anything for a long time. After a while, he said again, "It's useless for you to hide from me. I've already put the letter of war on your courtyard wall." Come on, there are so many people coming and going this afternoon, many of them can't be seen, it will probably spread in the academy soon, and then it won't matter whether you accept it or not."
