Mythical Version of the Three Kingdoms

Ma Chao is not talking nonsense, but he really knows how to farm. To be precise, compared with the Romans, a Central Plains person can farm, even those killers in Liangzhou are better than most Romans. In ancient times, the level of grain planting in the Central Plains was basically the highest.

Let's put it this way, regardless of the fact that the yield per mu of the Han Dynasty and Rome is similar, but assuming that both the Han Dynasty and Rome have an output of 200 catties per mu of land, the Han Dynasty only needs a dozen catties of seeds to achieve it, while Rome may need Thirty catties of seeds can produce this output.

To put it simply, the seed-to-grain output ratio of the Han Dynasty can easily reach more than 1:15, while the ratio of Rome is only 1:6.

This data is very cruel. Rome needs to leave a large amount of grain for use as seeds. If it weren’t for the fact that there were many places for farming in the Mediterranean region, the Romans would have killed themselves in this way of planting.

The concept of Roman farming includes adapting measures to local conditions, soil selection and fertilization, but there are no excellent seeds, no screening, and no tillers...

Take the tiller that Qu Qixian performed for Chen Xi in such a boring way, one seed yields more than a hundred seedlings, and one ear of wheat has about thirty grains. The output ratio piled up to more than three thousand.

That is to say, one seed can produce about 3,000 seeds. Of course, this kind of thing can only be done by cookies, and even if it can be done, it will not be done normally, because it is too time-consuming.

I did this before because it would be too slow to cultivate the rice that contains the essence of heaven and earth without manual tillering, so I have cookies and I have nothing to do.

Therefore, logically speaking, the ratio of seeds to output can reach a very outrageous level, but from a practical point of view, even for later generations, the ratio is generally around fifty or sixty, which means that one mu of land is in terms of fertility, light, and ventilation. Under the condition of support, twenty catties of seeds can produce one thousand catties of grain, and the ratio in the Han Dynasty was roughly one to sixteen to seven.

The good breed of the cookie pile piled this up to the level of 25, so the cookie went to the temple, but this does not mean that the upper limit is 25 times, to be precise, the so-called 25 times is more equivalent to that of ordinary people Can easily master the level of learning.

Counting composting, tillering, soil selection, cultivation, etc., cookies can increase this ratio to more than 3,000 times. The problem is that even in later generations, only those who cultivate improved seeds in the laboratory will be able to experiment. Only the equipment can handle it.

Just like those old men from Xiangli scolding Nanyang Zhang, you made a thing that can't be popularized. Is there something wrong with your brain? Do you want to wash your brain?

It’s not that there have been big bosses in Rome. When Pliny the Elder, the other party studied the technology of volcanic ash composting, which made the comparison of seeds and grain production in Italy and other regions reach the current level of the Han Dynasty. The problem is that you came out of Italy. Can't use it!

More than a hundred provinces, only your Italian province can be used, aren't you deliberately creating conflicts? This is not cheating or anything!

The great thing about Cookie is that he simplifies the screening, selection, intensive cultivation, and most importantly, the promotion of improved seeds to the extent that an old farmer can master them.

Ma Chao is not considered an old farmer, but Ma Chao lives in that cultural circle, so Ma Chao knows how to farm, and he has a so-so grasp of cookies.

"Super farming is very powerful." Tachito said to Anaus, "He has reclaimed a piece of land in Midia, planted a lot of vegetables, and they grow very well."

Ma Chao's growing vegetables is purely idle and boring, but for Tachito, it is still very magical and shocking, at least Tachito himself can't grow the vegetables so neatly.

"Anyone can do this kind of thing, as long as they have hands." Ma Chao waved his hand and said, other things are fine. Farming is really as long as one has hands. Can Chinese people farm? Just kidding, planting onions and garlic seedlings in flower pots is better than one.

Flowers in flowerpots can be raised to death, but if you grow vegetables, most of them can be raised, especially some specially cultivated vegetables, which are bigger than flowers and have shapes. While greening the environment, pretending to be flowers, and picking them when there are no vegetables Take off the pot.

"Ah, I didn't expect Chao you to have such a talent in this aspect." Annaus said with admiration. This was not a mockery, but a truth.

"This is really something you can do with your hands." Ma Chao resolutely rejected what Anaus said. He just plowed a piece of land at will, then watered it regularly, occasionally ate the crooked ones, and loosened the soil. Is it difficult?

This is actually very difficult. Knowing when to do this is already at the level of intensive cultivation. For the people of the Central Plains, from childhood to adulthood, watching their ancestors do this, it will come naturally, but for the Romans, this is really. Sorry.

Some of the questions Annaus asked made Cookie feel off-topic, because in Cookie's view, such questions did not exist at all, okay?

However, I have to admit that Anaus is really easy to learn. He has truly mastered these things and turned them into his own. Now he is an excellent agronomist, and the rest is to find ways to promote the correct farming techniques.

As for the self-cultivation of fine varieties suitable for local conditions, Anaus thinks that he will leave it aside and say that he only needs to increase the ratio of seeds to grain output to 1:20, which is enough to feed millions of people. up.

After all, originally one mu of land was cultivated twice a year, requiring 50 catties of seeds, but now only 20 catties of seeds are needed, saving 30 catties of grain per mu.

It doesn’t sound like much, right? Rome’s arable land area is more than 500 million mu. Based on the daily requirement of four catties of grain per person, the same arable land area can support almost 10 million more people.

This is why Anaus is very respectful of the planting techniques of the Han Dynasty that he has learned. It doesn’t sound like much, but it’s too scary to stand up to the base, and it’s true that so much can be saved per acre. food.

"Chao, why don't you come with me to be the city magistrate, and we will promote the new farming model together. Believe me, we will produce results in three years, change Rome in five years, and within ten years, the position of magistrate will definitely be yours." Anna said. Wu Si grabbed Ma Chao's hand and said.

That's right, Anaus has already been assigned a job. After all, he is the descendant of the Antony family, and with Duke Nigel behind him, Caesar also knows the connection inside, so he arranged for Anaus not long after he came back. Ok post.

However, Nigel plans to take Anaus to the province of Mauritania, where he will build the Atlantic Fleet, and Anaus will farm on the spot, so that no matter how he grows, Nigel writes the credits by himself, Annaus S can fly no matter what.

Although Nigel didn't know it at all, Annaus, who came back from a visit to the Han Dynasty, had already turned into a thigh, just because there was no chance to show it, but according to the current rhythm, a year

The promotion will produce results in three years, and Annaus will probably be able to rebuild the Anthony family in the future.

"I'm not interested in farming." Ma Chao waved his hand and said, "If you really want to learn how to farm, the Marquis Cang in the Han Dynasty is really good."

"Your network over there is really powerful, and I worshiped Marquis Cang as my teacher." Annaus held Ma Chao's hand, not wanting Ma Chao to refuse.

In fact, Anaus was not joking. If Ma Chao works with him to promote the new farming model, with Ma Chao's current status as the head of the Seventh Eagle Banner Corps, Perennis' current position can be expected.

After all, farming seems very simple, but in any era, the boss of agriculture and agricultural population will always be one of the low-key and unavoidable objects.

Take Sun Qian as an example, the complete body is undoubtedly the Ministry of Transport, who belongs to the big bosses, but Chen Xi has always been in charge of agriculture and agricultural population. In fact, everyone knows which one is bigger. The one under Chen Xi's management is the one who is constantly being cut, okay, but no matter how much it is cut, this department is still too huge to die.

Therefore, if Ma Chao and Anaus are really engaged in the promotion of new farming models, after the follow-up results come out, the two will share a share of the credit. Annaus has basically nothing to say, and he will definitely take over Ganassis's class and become the new Eastern Duke of Bordershire, and then reorganized the Antony family.

Then Ma Chao can only take the parliamentary route. In this case, Ma Chao, who has the status of the head of the Eagle Banner Corps, has a high probability of becoming a magistrate at the age of less than forty after Perennis resigns. Roman vice-emperor.

Next, as long as Severus dies, he is young, strong, full of passion, and has the support of a large number of eagle flag peers. As long as a Claudius is added in front of Mamiconian, Ma Chao will be crowned as Rome the next day. emperor.

More importantly, this process is absolutely legal, and it is the kind that is approved by the Roman Parliament, proposed by citizens, and passed directly.

It is a pity that Ma Chao refused. Ma Chao didn't understand how much benefit there was, and among the four present, only Annaeus, the descendant of the Antony family, understood how much a political dividend this was. Rome is the Rome of Roman citizens.

Whether it is the knight class or the elder class, when all the citizens expect a certain person, it is impossible to lose, and the farming method is the only plan that Anaus has seen that can buy all the citizens. This plan is invincible , After all, everyone has to eat.

Relying on this only benefit that can be effectively implemented in the hands of every citizen, any veteran who is popular and capable of military command can try to touch the position of the first citizen and the chief elder.

As for him, Annaeus, his ambition is to restore the Anthony family, and he does not have the ability to be a military commander, so the duke is his limit, but Ma Chao is not, he has more ambitious possibilities.
