Zhao Hai looked at the group and said, "Today, I called you here to request the City Lord. You came here to do one thing, and that is to learn from me. Learn how to be a Plant Master." Zhao Hai looked at the group and said, "Don't worry.
These people didn't speak, but each and every one of them looked at Zhao Hai in confusion. Zhao Hai looked at them and said, "You'll know what a Plant Master is in the future. Right now, I'm going to teach you the first lesson of being a Plant Master, identifying plants."
After he said that, Zhao Hai took out the plants that he collected yesterday and placed them on the ground. Then he turned his head to the group and said, "To be a plant master, you need to be a soul plant master. No matter what kind of soul plant you have, you can still become a plant master. Because of this, the 20 of you will be specially selected to learn from me. As for the 10 of you, you need to record everything that I say. This is because these things will be used to teach other people later on. When the Miscellaneous Spirit Continent has a lot of plant masters, the people of the continent wouldn't need to worry about food and clothing anymore." Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Alright.
Everyone didn't understand what Zhao Hai was talking about. However, they knew what Zhao Hai was talking about. For a moment, there was an uproar. This couldn't be blamed on them. In these years, the Miscellaneous Spirit Continent had been worrying about food and clothing. Now that Zhao Hai said that as long as they learned from him, they wouldn't have to worry about food and clothing in the future. Naturally, they were surprised.
Zhao Hai looked at them and said, "Alright, those in charge of recording, prepare a pen and paper. Come here." After saying that, Zhao Hai waved his hand to the children. The children timidly walked in front of Zhao Hai.
Zhao Hai pointed at the plants and said, "These were collected from Shelter Bay yesterday. If we Plant Masters want to understand plants, then the first step is to understand them. However, Plant Masters are different from ordinary people. Ordinary people only need to know what a Plant Master is. But Plant Masters are different. The first step for a Plant Master to understand a plant is to understand its characteristics as well as the environment in which it grows. All of these things need to be observed for a long time. Naturally, by observing it like this, you can also see some things, such as this."
After saying that, Zhao Hai took out a tree branch. Naturally, the people here didn't know what kind of tree branch it was. Therefore, they looked at Zhao Hai in confusion.
Zhao Hai looked at them and said, "Do you see this tree branch? These leaves are very wide and thick. When the weather gets cold, these leaves will definitely fall to the ground. Moreover, these branches are very tender and the quality of the tree isn't very good. Therefore, although these trees can be used to make things, they aren't the best choice. "Zhao Hai nodded and said," That's right, I'm going to use them to make something.
Then Zhao Hai picked up several tree branches and explained them to the children. Although the children didn't understand the use of these things, they still earnestly followed Zhao Hai. On the other hand, Yu Quan and the others understood how important Zhao Hai's explanation was.
Zhao Hai's explanation was to determine the most suitable use of these trees based on different tree species. They also knew some of these things, but most of them were based on experience. They didn't have a detailed division like Zhao Hai. On the other hand, the people who were taking notes were seriously recording Zhao Hai's words. Fortunately, their writing speed wasn't slow. Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to write everything down.
After discovering that Zhao Hai's explanation was indeed useful, even Yu Quan and Yu Sanzi began to study seriously. Moreover, Zhao Hai's explanation was very interesting. Because of this, the children didn't feel annoyed. Instead, they listened very seriously.
The first day's lesson was like this. It lasted until the evening before it ended. The children had learned a lot of things. The person writing was so tired that he could barely lift his arm. Yu Quan and Yu Sanzi, on the other hand, were very shocked. That day, Yu Quan let Yu Sanzi enter the city and told Yu Jinglin about the situation here.
The next day, Zhao Hai finished explaining all the plants as well as their uses. However, Zhao Hai talked about a lot of things that Yu Quan didn't know. For example, what kind of grass was suitable for making mats, what kind of grass was suitable for laying on beds, what kind of grass was suitable for making rushes, what kind of grass was suitable for making mats, what kind of grass was suitable for making mats, what kind of grass was suitable for making beds, and what kind of grass was suitable for making rushes.
Only now did Yu Quan and the others know that these things that they thought were useless had a lot of value and uses. Naturally, the most important thing was that Zhao Hai also mentioned that some of these plants could be eaten. For Yu Quan and the others, this was a pleasant surprise. The Mixed Spirit Continent was lacking in food. Now that they suddenly knew that these things that they thought were trash could be eaten, it naturally made them very happy.
It took two days for Yu Quan to finish talking about the plants. On the third day, Zhao followed Yu Quan to choose a plot of land. The plantation was surrounded by large fields, but after Zhao looked around, he found that the fields here were all lean fields. There really wasn't much farmland.
Yu Quan wanted Zhao Hai to choose a good field, but Zhao Hai didn't want it. Instead, he chose a lean field. This field had some grains planted on it. This grain was the most common type of grain in the Mixed Spirit Continent, it was called corn. However, this corn wasn't the same as the corn that Zhao Hai knew. This corn could only grow to the height of a person's waist, it was somewhat similar to a dwarf sorghum.
The yield of this plant was very low. If one were to cultivate it in such a lean field, then the yield would naturally be even lower. Because of this, the Mixed Spirit Continent didn't have enough food to eat.
Zhao Hai carefully looked at the corn in the field, then he turned to Yu Quan and said, "This corn isn't suitable for cultivation in such a field. It's best to raise it first and then cultivate it. But it's clear that the Mixed Spirit Continent isn't suitable for this. So we need to find something that can fertilize the field and also have a high yield. Tomorrow, I'll talk to everyone about this. What do you think is the most suitable to grow in such a field?"
Everyone stared, then they began to think. Zhao Hai did talk to them a lot yesterday, they also remembered most of it. However, they really couldn't think of a suitable plant to grow in such a short time.
Zhao Hai looked at them and said, "It doesn't matter. Everyone think carefully and see if you can think of something."
At this time, a youth raised his hand. Zhao Hai looked at him and smiled, "Wu Yu, what do you think?"
The Young Master called Wu Yu looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Mister, I think that the most suitable plant to grow here isn't food, but alfalfa. Mister said yesterday that alfalfa is the best crop to fertilize the field. However, alfalfa can't be eaten by humans. But Mister also said that alfalfa is also something that herbivores like. Therefore, we can plant alfalfa here and use it to raise Three-eyed Rabbits. Three-eyed Rabbits grow very fast and aren't picky about their food. Not only can they eat alfalfa, they can also eat other grasses.
Wu Yu, your way of thinking is very correct. Farming is never a trivial matter. But in the eyes of ordinary people, farming is very simple. It's nothing more than planting the seeds in the field and harvesting them in autumn. But if you want to improve farming, you absolutely can't do it so simply. Otherwise, farming will never be able to develop. "Wu Yu smiled. Wu Yu nodded and said," You're right. Farming is never a small matter. But in the eyes of ordinary people, farming is very simple.
At this point, Zhao Hai paused for a moment, then looked at the crowd and said, "Everyone only thinks that this land can only grow food, because the Mixed Spirit Continent lacks food. Everyone grows food for the sake of eating. However, no one has thought that alfalfa is a very high-yield animal feed, and Three-eyed Rabbits are famous for their high yield. A pair of Three-eyed Rabbits can give birth to three to four litters in a year, and each litter can give birth to eight to twelve rabbits. Moreover, the Three-eyed Rabbits only need three to three months to reach adulthood, and then they can give birth to more than 100 Three-eyed Rabbits in a year, and this is only one pair. If there are more Three-eyed Rabbits, then more rabbits will be produced.
Everyone nodded. Zhao Hai looked at them, then he smiled faintly and said, "This way, everyone will feel strange. If Three-eyed Rabbits can really give birth, then why aren't there many Three-eyed Rabbits in the Mixed Spirit Continent? If this is the case, then I'm afraid that the Mixed Spirit Continent has already been occupied by Three-eyed Rabbits. Am I right? "
Everyone nodded, this was what they thought. If they followed Zhao Hai's calculation, then the Mixed Spirit Continent would be occupied by Three-eyed Rabbits. Then there would still be room for other animals to live.
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "Actually, this problem is very easy to explain. Because the Three-eyed Rabbits don't have any attack power, they can be eaten by both humans and beasts. In fact, if the Three-eyed Rabbits weren't able to reproduce so well, I'm afraid that they would have already been eaten by other animals. Raising Three-eyed Rabbits wouldn't be so smooth. Rabbits can get sick and die. Therefore, the previous calculation is just an armchair strategy, it isn't accurate. But one thing is certain, and that is if you plant alfalfa on the ground and use it to raise Three-eyed Rabbits, it would definitely be better than planting corn on the ground. At the very least, a family would be able to eat their fill." Zhao Hai smiled faintly.
Everyone nodded, then their eyes lit up. Looking at their expressions, Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "After alfalfa fertilizes the fields, the lean fields would become fertile fields. At that time, you can plant grains and harvest a lot more. But in the case that the grain yield isn't high, I think that Wu Yu's method is the most suitable for the Mixed Spirit Continent. However, this doesn't mean that the Mixed Spirit Continent would immediately switch to alfalfa. This is impossible, this is because rabbits need time to grow. Moreover, rabbits can also get sick. If a rabbit gets sick, then it's possible that you wouldn't be able to harvest anything. Therefore, you must be careful in this matter."
