Remember [New] in a second! "Okay! Very good! Very good! Send a messenger, and all the god-inspired priests who participate in the research of struvite will be rewarded with a salary for one year! Then, select a few priests who perform well among them, and all of them will be promoted to one level! This fertilization They must continue to study the big topic of increasing production!"

The camp is warm and the fire is bright. Xiulot drank a cup of scented tea and let out a long breath. He looked at the documents of the Divine Enlightenment in his hand, just like looking at a farmer in the field, full of hope for a good harvest.

"Food is the foundation of the kingdom! Practices that can increase food production must be researched, promoted, and even popularized in the name of the Lord God! ...Eckart, when you encounter documents related to agricultural improvement, you must be the first Time, send it to my hands!"

"Yes, Patriarch! I will definitely do as you say!"

The head of the guard, Eckart, bowed his head and stood aside to wait. Xiuluo nodded, and took out a booklet from the most important copper box, which was a small book that he personally summarized, "On Agricultural Reform". This booklet has already been roughly written, and will be sent to the Kingdom's Divine Revelation Institute to complete, and then included in the textbooks of Shenwei University, and spread in the name of Divine Revelation.

Shulot turned through them in turn. The first chapter of the opening chapter talked about the basic needs of crop growth, such as sunlight, water, nutrition, and temperature, and hinted at the principle of photosynthesis. Under it, it is absorbed by the green plants, and the divine energy in the light and the nutrients in the soil are transformed into tiny living things together. The gathering of living things is food... ".

Later, in the second chapter, the actual factors that affect the yield are listed in detail, including the seeds themselves, soil conditions, weed competition, water and fertilizer supply at different growth stages, changes in outside temperature, pests and diseases, birds and birds. The destruction of the beast...

These are the agricultural common sense of later generations and the accumulation of thousands of years of agricultural development. As long as you have stayed in the countryside for a while, or read related books, or planted flowers and plants yourself, you will know something.

"A grain of sand in the later generations, falling in this era, is a mountain of scientific accumulation, which can save hundreds of years of detours! And spreading the science of later generations and leaving knowledge to the era is what every traveler can't forget Blessed!..."

During the spare time during the siege, Xiu Luote devoted himself to searching the memories of the past carefully, adding whatever came to his mind. Then, according to different production factors, he put forward some methods to improve production.

Therefore, the content of the third chapter is the "breeding" that God had instructed to do before. For the staple food corn, kidney beans, pumpkins, sweet potatoes, potatoes...Continuous generation alternation is carried out, and the improved varieties among them are selected purposefully. Just like the epoch-making hybrid rice, the cultivation of this kind of breeding requires a long time and a summary of scientific theories. It has no immediate effect on increasing food production, but it is really increasing the upper limit of crop production!

Of course, His Royal Highness Shenqi is only responsible for proposing a few words and pointing out relevant ideas. As for the boring and cumbersome specific breeding work, it is natural to hand it over to specialized old farmers and divinely inspired priests. After all, the time for breeding research is in units of ten years, and it is necessary to truly dedicate a lifetime to it!

The fourth chapter is "Field Management, Farm Tool Innovation and Farming System". Although it has such a big name, the chapters actually written are only "deep plowing and human plow", "irrigation and waterwheels and canals", "weeding and hoes", "harvesting and scythe"...these Most of them are common scenes in the villages of later generations. At this time, Central America has also sprouted.

For these contents, the chief guard Eckart can still understand, but he is a little at a loss about the so-called "farming system" in the future. What about "mixed planting of corn, pumpkin, and kidney beans", "Chinaampa floating fields and base ponds of Lake Texcoco fish ponds", and even "farmland pastures domesticated by cattle"....

The head of the guard, Eckart, took a quick glance, then lowered his head. He found that His Highness didn't seem to be very clear, but only listed some headlines. And under each headline, a few paragraphs and sentences are written, all of which are rough overviews, pointing out the train of thought and direction.

"Well, the knowledge of these divine revelations has a direction. As for what it looks like, the principle, and how to operate it... let the priests of the divine revelations come and devote themselves to the fields and study hard!"

Xiulot concentrated on it, thinking while reading, and quickly turned to chapter five. The fifth chapter is "Water and Fertilizer Supply at Different Stages". First, an empirical concept is put forward, that is, crops from small to large, from budding to fruiting, must have different needs and acceptance capacity for water and fertilizer.

As for how the specifics are different, and how much different crops need, Xiulot left everything blank. These tedious practical work will take years to calculate, and must be planted by old farmers who are familiar with the fields, and the god-inspired priests will do the statistics and calculations, and then record them in the book.

Xiu Luote paused for a moment, then looked back, the specific water and fertilizer management, this is also the focus of the kingdom's grand plan and Shenqi's implementation.

"Water" is very simple, it is to build water conservancy facilities and adjust water volume, including building canals, reservoirs, and water trucks. It's just that this is easy to say, but if you really want to do it, you need to mobilize a lot of manpower and material resources! One of the grand plans for the kingdom's construction is to dredge the rivers in the south, build a series of water conservancy facilities, improve the irrigation conditions of the two southern counties, and regulate floods.

As for "fertilizer", what the Kingdom is doing now is to promote "composting", encourage "river mud dredging", experiment with "Yu cattle husbandry", and the most important natural fertilizer "struvite"!

Schlott picked up the pen and wrote down the newly obtained report in the column of "Guano Stone".

"Lord God bless! 1 ton of struvite is ground into the field, and it will continuously release fertility for a long time. It can increase grain production by at least 4 tons in the first year, but I don't know it in the second year...These stone fertilizers are real food. ! The coastal trade route to the northern continent must be expanded as soon as possible to bring back more guano stones!"

As for the last chapter 6, it is "Other Factors Affecting Output". Shulot has already listed temperature, insect damage, disease damage, and animal damage, but in fact, the Kingdom can do very little to improve these factors.

In this era, crops are usually more "skinned", and they are not as high-yielding and expensive as later generations, and they are more resistant to diseases. As for insect pests, before the arrival of the European fleet, there was no record of locusts in the Americas. The only troublesome red fire ants still obediently stayed in the Parana River Basin in South America, which is around Paraguay in later generations. As for animal damage, villagers will live in the fields during the autumn harvest to drive away birds and beasts. That's all there is to it. As for the mobilization and hunting ability of "eliminating the four pests", it is unimaginable "Arabian Nights" in this era!

Therefore, the only topic Xiulot wrote down was "Agricultural Response to the Cold Wave in the Northern Continent". This topic is related to the future of the kingdom, farming and expansion in the North American continent. Therefore, Shulot proposed a direction to the priests of the Divine Enlightenment, that is, to cultivate cold-resistant and frost-resistant crops, giving priority to potatoes, and sweet potatoes can also be tried.

"Unfortunately...the air route to the Inca has not been opened~lightnovelpub.net~ The existing potato types in the kingdom are still hundreds of years ago, the Mayans brought back from Chibcha...the truly cold-resistant and high-yield potatoes Crops, still go to the South American continent, to the Andes Mountains!"

Shulot pondered for a while, and looked to the south. He had arranged new voyages of exploration, both north and south. However, with the kingdom's level of navigation, all these explorations will take years as a unit, and there is no rush for the time being.

"Cultivate seeds, promote new agricultural tools, improve field management, build water conservancy facilities, promote compost dredging, and apply struvite fertilizer... These six items are the important tasks that are being carried out on a large scale in the kingdom's agricultural reform. The kingdom's food production has increased significantly!"

Thinking of this, Xiulot showed a confident smile on his face. Then, the smile turned into expectation again, with a little bit of apprehension, and finally turned into resolute fearlessness!

"Of course, there is still a lot of blank space in the content of agricultural reform. The most critical and urgent thing is the large livestock from the Old World! Cattle, sheep, pigs, horses..."

"In two months, it will be 1490... Soon, soon, they are coming soon! I have waited too long... Waiting for me to personally lead the army to flatten the Totonak people in Jinwan City, The air route to Cuba will be opened! And the brigade of kingdom warriors will be able to go to Cuba...wait for their arrival!
