Reborn before the famine, kicking away the scumbag's family and living a carefree life.

After more than three months of reclamation, 268 mu of flat, high-quality paddy fields have been developed on Qiongzhou Island, while 198 mu of land with less desirable soil, containing some sand and with less favorable terrain, can be used to grow sweet potatoes, potatoes, wheat, or corn.

So more than 100 acres of land were created than originally expected.

This is also why Yuan Wenjie went to the site every day to conduct on-site investigations and studied the map of the entire Qiongzhou Island whenever he had free time, making use of all the usable land, which is why so much land that can be used to grow food was reclaimed.

At this time, it was early February, a time when the spring chill was still in the air. However, in a place like Qiongzhou Island, where the climate is warm, this was the best time to plant crops.

With Yuan Wenjie's help to cover for her, Su Jinru can take out the potato, sweet potato, and rice seeds from her space and plant them.

They also took out the vegetable seeds that Su Jinru had previously hoarded.

To the outside world, Yuan Wenjie said that the seeds were purchased from the mainland.

Su Jinru didn't care how he explained it to others or how he operated it. As long as he told her when to take the seeds out of the space and where to put them, she would just do as he said.

Most of these soldiers were farmers who had experienced famine. They had a deep affection for the land. The fact that so much land had been reclaimed made the entire Qiongzhou Island feel like it was New Year's Day, with everyone overjoyed.

With land came food, and with it came hope.

Although they, as soldiers, were provided with food by the state, the poor transportation here meant that vegetables and meat were easy to obtain.

With land, we can grow vegetables.

Yuan Wen listened to Su Jinru's analysis of the soil and said that this soil, which has a slightly sandy texture, is the best place to grow potatoes and sweet potatoes.

Therefore, Yuan Wenjie decided to use most of the land to grow potatoes and a small portion to grow sweet potatoes.

When planting began, everyone was enthusiastic and actively engaged in the work. Yuan Wenjie specially appointed Su Jinru as the technician to guide everyone in planting.

Su Jinru instructed Yuan Wenjie to gather some skilled farmers, train them, and then have them guide others.

In just a few days, the potatoes and sweet potatoes were planted according to the standards.

For rice, the general process is to first raise seedlings, and after about a month, the seedlings are pulled up and transplanted into paddy fields.

Su Jinru knew that rice direct seeding machines already existed in later generations. In the room where production tools were stored in the space, she found two kinds of rice direct seeding machines.

A highly advanced method for direct sowing of rice without the need for paddy fields, allowing for dry-land rice cultivation. It consists of a seed box, a seed metering device, a seed delivery pipe, and a ditching and soil covering device.

The rice seeds in the seed box are fed into the seed delivery pipe by the seed metering device, and then introduced into the furrow opener. The furrows are then covered by the soil covering device to complete the direct seeding process.

However, these live-streaming organizations are complex to build and use iron tools, and iron products are very scarce in this era.

This complex process is not easy to manufacture even in this era; the cost is too high.

More importantly, Su Jinru had never used this kind of seeder in the space before, so she didn't know how effective it would be.

The other type of live streaming machine has a simpler structure.

It involves using more than ten plastic spheres, fixed between two wheels that are taller than the spheres, with a small hole in each sphere. Germinated rice seeds are then placed into the spheres, and the direct seeding machine is pulled along the leveled paddy field, scattering the germinated rice seeds directly into the paddy field as it goes.

Its principle is that the seeds are sown directly onto the surface of the paddy field with good slurry formation through the seed delivery tube.

In this way, the seeds are sown directly in the paddy field, and the standardized row spacing allows for sufficient ventilation and sunlight, thus increasing the yield of rice.

This type of live streaming machine is simple to manufacture, low in cost, and easy to use.

Su Jinru saw this kind of live broadcast machine with her own eyes in later generations.

Su Jinru took the live streaming machine out of her space and showed it to Yuan Wenjie. He took a picture, measured its size, and then found someone to make it. It was made in two days, and a total of three machines were made.

However, this type of direct seeding machine requires a high degree of flatness in the paddy field. Before directing the seeds, the paddy field needs to be leveled and the soil inside needs to be finely ground. The water also cannot be too much; it should not flood the soil but should still be kept moist.

This is equivalent to the flatness and soil moisture of the paddy fields used for seedling cultivation.

Many people who know about crops find it incredible that rice can be sown directly from seeds without the need for seedlings. They have been growing rice for generations and have never heard of sowing rice directly from seeds without the need for seedlings.

But when they saw the seeding machine, they immediately understood the principle behind it.

This seeder simplifies the rice planting process, reduces costs, improves efficiency, achieves precise and efficient sowing, and also saves seeds and time.

Seedlings are usually started in early February and transplanted at the end of February or the beginning of March. Now, with one-time sowing, the seedlings grow all at once, which improves efficiency by achieving three seasons a year.

This live-streaming machine is more scientific and rational than manual planting.

With three direct-seeding machines running simultaneously, three people can complete the sowing of 240 mu (approximately 16.7 hectares) of rice in just one day.

Everyone marveled at who invented this new gadget, which not only freed up a large amount of labor but also increased production.

Yuan Wenjie was not modest either.

He pointed to Su Jinru beside him and said, "This was invented by Comrade Su Jinru. She used to work at the agricultural technology station in her hometown and has a lot of research on crops. These seeds are also new products she developed, which are more productive than ordinary seeds. From now on, she will be our Qiongzhou Island's agricultural technician."

Many family members have seen the vegetables that Su Jinru grows in her own yard.

Some even ate the vegetables that Su Jinru gave them, especially the family members who went to the beach with Su Jinru. They not only ate and saw the vegetables that Su Jinru grew, but Su Jinru also gave them vegetable seeds. As a result, no matter how they cared for the vegetables they grew themselves, they did not grow as well as the vegetables that Su Jinru grew.

Therefore, they had great faith in Su Jinru as the technical advisor for agriculture on Qiongzhou Island and were happy to learn planting techniques from her.

On Qiongzhou Island, 198 mu of sandy soil were planted with 150 mu of potatoes and 48 mu of sweet potatoes.

Of Fei'ao's 268 mu of land, 240 mu were planted with rice, and the remaining 28 mu were used to grow vegetables.

As a technician, Su Jinru's main focus is on training people with planting skills.

After careful selection, Su Jinru chose twenty people to be specifically responsible for growing vegetables, fifteen of whom were military dependents.

Because growing vegetables requires care and patience, women are better suited to this job.
