Transmigrated Farming Lord

Chapter 30. Planting Herbs
The winter snow flutters and falls, like a blanket on the ground, covering the withered grass, covering the black land, and putting a white dress on the earth.

Just after the training of the militiamen was over and they were told to do a good job of patrolling and sentrying, Ross creaked and walked back to his house on the snow. Little Rocky threw himself into his arms with a giggle. Mother Roy Si also smiled and served a bowl of hot thick soup.

After thanking him, Rose picked up the bowl and drank the thick soup with corn, soybeans, minced meat and potatoes in one go, and then played with Little Rocky for a while, and Rose returned to his room. room, and then lay down on the idiosyncratic recliner cushioned with thick animal skins and closed his eyes.

After mother Royce and the well-behaved little Loki saw it, they thought they were tired from practicing and were sleeping and resting. In fact, Rose was reading and studying the books "transcribed" from the library of the Temple of Agriculture in the system knowledge base.

Turning on the system again, Ross took a serious look at his information:

Compared with a year ago, both my own strength and the development of the village have been greatly improved, and my confidence to survive in this world has increased a lot.

These seem unbelievable in the eyes of others, but in Rose's view, they are far from enough!It's just that I slowed down because of caution in order not to cause unnecessary trouble to the attention of interested people.

Only when the village develops into a city and he obtains the title of nobility, can he do what he wants to do with confidence and boldness.

After all, after becoming an aristocrat, you only need to be responsible to your superior lord. Except for paying taxes on time and obeying orders during wars, you can do whatever you want in your own territory as long as you don’t collude with other races or blaspheme the gods. No one has the right to interfere.

Ross sighed for a while and then turned his attention to the things he had been researching and looking for recently.

Perhaps for the villagers who have been growing food all their lives, this year's harvest has made them very, very satisfied, but Ross doesn't think so.

Because he knows that planting food in the previous life or in this world has the lowest rate of return, especially in this world, all kinds of food crops have not been improved, and the yield is still very low.

After the villagers worked hard for a year and paid taxes, what was left could only meet the basic rations of the family. If they wanted to improve their lives, they had to find ways from other places.

So now there are two ways in front of Ross, one is to improve crops and increase the yield of crops; the other is to choose high-value plants for planting.

It stands to reason that for a researcher of the Academy of Agricultural Sciences, improving crops such as wheat and increasing their yield is a very simple matter, but this world does not have as advanced instruments as the Academy, what makes him even more helpless is the dynamics of this world. The plant system is also very different from the previous life, which greatly increases the difficulty for him to improve crops, and it is impossible to achieve it in a short time.

Therefore, if we want to improve the life of the villagers and increase their income, we must first choose to plant other high-value plants.

In fact, the most valuable plants in this world are all kinds of potions. Even Lord Viscount spent a lot of money to build a village for this valley where the potion licorice can be planted.

However, potion planting has too high requirements on the environment, especially on the concentration of mana.The Kingdom of Lorraine is in a fringe area with a poor concentration of magic power. The places suitable for growing potions have been divided up by the nobles, and it is impossible for Ross to take his turn.

However, Ross, who has self-knowledge, set his sights on common herbal medicines, especially the auxiliary medicines that are essential for refining high-level warriors and magicians. After all, all medicines cannot be refined from magical medicines. , also need the assistance of a large number of common herbs.

After more than a month of study and selection, Ross has basically selected three kinds of herbal medicines, namely: blood scorpion grass, the main medicine of common gold sore medicine, butter flower and ginseng, the auxiliary medicine of primary blood medicine for replenishing blood of soldiers.

These are herbs that are relatively simple to grow but in great demand, but the energy required to grow them is not comparable to that of wheat.

The sun-loving and cold-resistant blood scorpion grass needs to be planted on sandy ground, and the seeds need to be fully soaked in fresh blood before they can germinate. After germination, they also need to be irrigated with blood water regularly to thrive. Grass plants can be used as medicinal materials, otherwise it will be in vain.

Butterfly likes shade and can only grow in particularly fertile soil, which means it needs a lot of fertilizer.

Only ginseng is easier to grow, but the germination rate of ginseng seeds is extremely low, and a large number of people are required to loosen the soil, fertilize, weed, etc. in the later stage.

After selecting the target, Los continued to search the knowledge base of the system to find relevant knowledge about these three herbs. Fortunately, blood scorpion grass, butter flower, and ginseng are all common and commonly used herbs. There is a lot of knowledge about them in the temple books, including how to plant, common diseases and pests, picking and treatment methods, pharmacology and medicinal properties, and common usage methods.

Soon the winter passed safely, and it was time for spring plowing. Originally, Ross was just planning to experiment with planting in his own field, and then promote it in the village next year after success. Who knew that Ross planned to plant herbs, Thomas and the five of them And Yulis insisted on planting herbs, and said with a pat on the chest that even if they failed, they would not blame Ross, they would bear it themselves.Other villagers are still waiting to see, after all, they do not have the ability to take risks.

In this way, Ross went to the pharmacy in Pope Town to buy enough 100 acres of blood scorpion grass, 300 acres of butterflower and 400 acres of ginseng seeds.

In order to germinate the blood scorpion grass seeds, Ross and the others killed 20 sheep, collected the blood, added a small amount of cold water and salt and stirred it thoroughly to ensure that the sheep blood would not coagulate, then soaked the blood scorpion grass seeds, and then cultivated them in locations close to the southern wilderness 100 mu of sandy land was used to plant blood scorpion grass.

After the germinated fully soaked and swollen seeds are planted at an interval of 8 cm, wait for the seeds to germinate and break through the soil before watering with blood water.

The most fertile 300 fields were selected and a thick layer of organic fertilizer was applied, and butter flowers were planted at intervals of 5 cm.

Ginseng spent half of Los's energy, specially mixing river sand, organic fertilizer and seeds into a special germination box, and then putting the germination box into a warm room, and sprinkling water regularly for germination.

The 400 mu of land used for planting ginseng was leveled and then sprinkled with a layer of organic fertilizer to make a ridge, then the germinated seeds were sparsely sown, and then covered with a 3 cm thick layer of organic fertilizer and chopped wheat straw The loose fertilizer made by mixing is not considered to be planted until it is watered and wet.
