He Bida's mentality at this time was broken, Li De said that he arranged two deputies to assist him, but the result was more and more things, and the workload doubled in half a month.

Fortunately, two newcomers have been added to his side, and a large group of guards to help is enough to deal with it, except for being busy, it is not without gain.

At least he has accumulated experience in dealing with complicated official duties.

In the autumn harvest season, Li De has always been in charge of the military city, with merchants coming and going, supporting soldiers, hired craftsmen and ordinary people, and the population of the military city exploded in a few months.

The area of land to be reclaimed next spring has been divided, and everything has been properly handled.

This year's harvest is to give hope to everyone, all the harvest of the reclaimed land belongs to the military city, 100,000 soldiers and horses work collectively, and the grain is piled up to the newly established warehouses and all are bursting.

After that, the grain had to be sold directly to the grain merchants, so that they could quickly transport the grain away to avoid losses caused by improper storage, Li De was very busy, even if there was a merchant's convoy to help transport and reduce some of the hoarding, but the grain had just been received half, where would the rest of the grain be piled up.

"Shi Huaiyi, clean up all the barracks in the military city, let the soldiers set up camp tents outside the military city, and the food must be handled quickly."

After Li De gave the order, even the headquarters where he was now was used to hoard food.

This year's autumn harvest may be troubled by the reduction of grain production and poor harvest, but in the area of the Sixteen Prefectures of Youji and Bingcheng, it is the opposite.

All thanks to the fertilizer workshop in Youzhou, there is also a fertilizer workshop in Bingcheng, fortunately, there are many soldiers and horses in Bingcheng, and cattle, sheep and horses can provide raw materials.

The end of the military city relied on chemical fertilizer to increase production, and no one really knew how much grain was collected, and the soldiers were responsible for the work of collecting grain, and the convoy of baggage soldiers was responsible for transportation, and the last people were put into storage.

Now only He Bida, who is in charge of statistics, knows the specific number, and there is no one else in the entire military city except for the patrol, and even Li De has moved out of the military city.

"Hahaha, what a bumper harvest this year!"

He Bida, Shi Huaiyi, Ding Qilin and others all knew about this year's harvest in the military city, and their mouths couldn't close together, and the entire military city was now piled up with grain.

It's enough for 100,000 people to eat for five years, and it's enough to say that it's enough to eat at every meal.

Instead of staying in the tent, Li De was studying what was going to happen in his exclusive carriage.

"Governor, letter from Youzhou."

Li De took the letter and looked at it, Li Shimin's letter, which wrote some situations in Youzhou City when he was away, focusing on the autumn harvest, today's harvest has more than tripled compared with last year, and the people can be said to have enough food and clothing next year.

Later, Li De sent the matter of opening the farm he wrote in the form of a letter to the people who came to rest for a day and then sent it back to Youzhou, and at the same time handed over his plan to Hebida for him to carry out.

Chickens, guineas, dogs, Li De looked at the food in the military city and was very happy, but he couldn't support food without meat, and too much food was obviously enough, and there would be more food next year, and there would really be no place to put it when the time came.

He had to think of a solution, so he had a plan to convert food into meat, and his first idea was to open a chicken farm.

Eggs are high-protein foods, and they can be pickled to make easy-to-preserve Songhua eggs, and eggs can be made into a variety of pastries and pancakes.

In order to improve the food of the soldiers, increase the meat consumption, and have a higher economic value than breeding cattle, sheep and horses, so in order to start a breeding farm.

The soldiers now have something to do, hunting in the mountains, on the one hand, to make up for the demand for meat, and to stock up on breeds for chicken farms, which can be improved later.

The merchants came when they heard the news, not only the military city, but also the entire sixteen states of Youzhou have risen the trend of raising chickens, and Youzhou City has opened a high price to buy a large number of chickens quickly.

Merchants can not only earn back the transportation fees, but also have a relatively considerable income, and in this way, the sixteen states of Youji gathered the world's merchants again.

Some take the sea route to the land route, and there are also those who take the river canal to catch up and then turn to the land route, and the merchants have a way to make money before the winter.

It's not just Youzhou City, if it is transported to Bingcheng, the price will be doubled.

Many businessmen choose to go to Bingcheng to deliver goods, not to mention being able to make money, but also to buy grain that is cheaper than Youzhou City, and once and again, the income will increase by at least two or three percent a year.

The businessmen want to get these benefits before the winter, so the farms in Bingcheng are developing faster than the sixteen states of Youji, in fact, the key is thanks to the support of Youzhou.

Now the development of Youzhou City has basically been finalized, and all the materials in the commercial city are all traded by merchants, the food is sufficient, and the industry is also developing.

With the plan provided by Li De to develop slowly, it is a matter of time before a large prosperous city is achieved, and now the positioning of the military city is the granary of the vanguard.

Agricultural development is now sufficient to support the development of the sixteen states of the thistle, and even other state capitals can benefit.

The problem is still the accumulation of heritage, don't look at the current farms in full swing, in fact, they are all prepared for the next year's expedition to the north, and the most important thing for war readiness materials is food.

Relying on food alone can only play a role in satisfying hunger, and Li De does not want the soldiers to be reduced due to malnutrition after a long battle.

In his capacity, it is necessary to improve the food.

Heavy snow is coming, this year's winter in the military city is very different, in the past, the soldiers lived in the barracks, this year because of the food matter, Li De directly let the soldiers settle in the military city and directly divided the houses and fields.

The soldiers were responsible for the cultivation of the fields, and if they could not work, they could use a few percent of the harvest to pay hired workers to cultivate.

Except for the elite pioneers brought by Li De, there was no such treatment, and He Bida counted the original soldiers and horses, and directly distributed those who were willing to settle down.

Most of the remaining families from the Sixteen Prefectures of Youji have already settled in Youzhou and other places, and all of these people can only have one household registration, and all the soldiers who have not settled in the house have been placed in temporary barracks.

They are all brick houses, but a barracks can accommodate more than 20 people, and there are heating stoves and kettles in winter.

Li De looked at the heavy snow outside the house, and the snow had reached his ankles in the course of a day.

"Ruixue is a good year, and the harvest next year will be even better." Li De said casually.

He Bida and the others, who were baking the fire, gathered around the stove and all responded, but their attention was all on the small iron pot on the stove.

Then I saw Ding Qilin put the rice directly into the iron pot, and then a miraculous thing happened, and I saw that all the rice had turned into white rice flowers.
