Chapter 278 Modernized Farmland

This weekend trip was arranged by He Nanzhou.

He was going on a business trip here, so he asked his older sister to contact a local farm.

The farm here isn't large, but it has a small fertilizer processing plant. The farm generally employs scientific farming and management methods, including environmental control and feed management.

Perfect timing! Let the people of Daqi see what modern farming methods are like.

When the car arrived, as soon as Chaochao got out, she saw a lush green scene. At first glance, it was like a painting, incredibly beautiful.

"Mom, it's so beautiful here."

Jian Yunsang smiled and asked, "Do you like it?"

Chaochao nodded vigorously. She had seen the fields of Shangliu Village and Jinwen Village before, but none of them were the same as the ones in front of her.

The land in Shangliu Village is uneven, and the field ridges vary in width. The rice planted there is not abundant. The superior fields are a little better, but the inferior fields look sparse.

Most of the land in Jinwen Village is planted with oranges, and because it is located in the mountains and it is winter, the rice has already been harvested.

But the farm in front of me is completely different. The flat ground and the endless rice seedlings are almost at the same height. What kind of expert can cultivate the land like this?
Just as Chaochao was sighing, a middle-aged man walked over with a smile, "Are you Teacher Jian and little Chaochao?"

"Yes, I am Jian Yunsang."

Jian Yunsang shook hands with him, and then heard the middle-aged man say, "My surname is Liu, and I am the person in charge of this farm. Mr. He has already told us in advance. This way, please."

Looking in the direction he was pointing, you could see a tricycle parked nearby, which had been specially decorated with a seat cushion.

Mr. Liu said, “Our farm is not big, but it’s still a bit of a walk. The kids might not be able to handle the whole farm tour. Get in the car, I’ll take you there.”

"Thank you."

Jian Yunsang carried Chaochao into the vehicle, and the tricycle glided forward. Mr. Liu introduced as he drove, "Our farm now has more than 3,000 mu of land. Don't underestimate the farm because it's small, but we have all the necessary equipment. In our former factory building, we have agricultural machinery and drones."

The people of Daqi, following the gaze of each dynasty, took in all the fields.

Many farmers were drooling at the sight before them.

If their land were cultivated to look like this, they'd be laughing in their sleep.

Emperor Jingxuan's gaze was intense. Modern farmland—was this the land that would later be cultivated using their machines? It was truly...so beautiful!

The car quickly stopped in front of a factory building. Although it was called a factory building, the interior was actually quite exquisite.

As soon as Chaochao entered the door, she saw several cars parked in the spacious area. Unlike their family's sedan, the cars in front of her were very tall and looked a bit intimidating at first glance.

Mr. Liu explained, "This is a harvester, and this is an excavator. We don't need them right now for the season. If you come in June or July, you'll be able to see us harvesting."

Chaochao asked curiously, "Uncle Liu, with so much land, wouldn't that require a lot of people?"

Mr. Liu laughed, “No need. As long as you know how to operate a harvester, a few people are enough. Modern agriculture is different from before. What used to require a thousand people can now be done by ten.”

Every day, everyone was stunned. How much?

Emperor Jingxuan was shocked. A thousand had become ten?!
Is this too exaggerated?

Mr. Liu said, "We don't have many employees right now, just about ten. Each acre of land has a QR code, which accurately records and tracks the agricultural operations on each plot. With these, one person can manage three to five hundred acres of farmland." Chaochao covered her mouth. One person managing hundreds of acres of land? Is that really that amazing?

"So, is the yield high?"

Mr. Liu laughed and said, "The yield per mu has increased from an average of 500 kilograms in the past to more than 700 kilograms now. Do you think that's high?"

Chaochao nodded blankly, "Brilliant."

Emperor Jingxuan suddenly stood up from his seat. Seven hundred kilograms?

Their current yield per mu is only a little over 300 jin.

It turns out that in later generations, not only potatoes and sweet potatoes were high-yield grains, but even rice was produced in such high quantities there.

No wonder they can feed 1.4 billion people.

Emperor Jingxuan took a deep breath. Technology, technology is indeed very important!
Mr. Liu led Jian Yunsang and the other person to the fertilizer processing plant, but after arriving at the entrance, Mr. Liu asked uncertainly, "Um...you two, are you really going to go see the raw materials?"

“Yes, we want to see the whole thing to get a more detailed understanding.” Jian Yunsang nodded.

Mr. Liu could only smile. As expected of a teacher, his teaching methods were indeed rigorous.

He could only give the two of them protective suits and shields; the place where the raw materials were stored did indeed smell bad.

Chaochao obediently followed Jian Yunsang and soon entered a processing room.

As soon as Mr. Liu entered the door, he couldn't help but look at Chaochao's expression, but to his surprise, the little girl was surprisingly calm.

At such a young age, not only was he not scared away, but he also took the initiative to walk forward and carefully examine the raw materials.

Hmm... that's quite a strong mental fortitude.

Little did he know that Chaochao's living conditions hadn't been good before. She had been hit by chicken and pig manure before, but she had only watched and had protective gear. What did she have to be afraid of?

Mr. Liu composed himself and explained to the two, "These are the raw materials, mainly pig manure, chicken manure, cow and sheep manure. Here we also have straw, soybean meal, cottonseed meal, distiller's grains, vinegar residue, cassava residue, and other kitchen waste. The processing is actually quite simple, roughly involving crushing, dehydration, mixing, fermentation, composting, drying, and packaging."

While explaining, he showed them the whole process.

Emperor Jingxuan hurriedly ordered people to write down everything Mr. Liu said. The machines used in later generations were very convenient, but they couldn't make them yet. However, it didn't matter. They knew the steps, and they could find suitable processing tools themselves.

Chaochao listened very attentively and walked very slowly, exploring the entire processing plant twice before stopping.

Mr. Liu, “…” Is this child so interested in fertilizer processing?
As Chaochao left the factory and took off her clothes and mask, she saw someone walking towards her with a frown.

Mr. Liu asked him, "What's wrong?"

The man sighed, "It hasn't rained here for a long time. Judging from the current situation, this kind of weather will continue for a while. I'm wondering if we should pump out the water."

Upon hearing this, the people of Daqi became anxious.

"What do you mean? Is it a drought?"

"This won't do!" an old farmer lamented, slapping his thigh. "So much land, such good seedlings—if they all die from drought, how will they survive?"

"No, don't worry, they'll definitely have a way."
