Yang Huairen suddenly became a little afraid, the history in his memory, more than 20 years later, when the Jurchen Iron Cavalry crossed the Baigou River and went all the way south, the forbidden army relied on by the Great Song Dynasty did not resist for long.

The moment the Jurchens appeared in front of the Tokyo gate, it is estimated that the soldiers guarding the gate must have been frightened, and without any resistance, they let the woman really smash the imperial city, and even the emperor Lao'er was arrested to be a pet.

In addition to being terrible, Yang Huairen felt ridiculous, the capital of the huge country was lost like this, and the scene of millions of people fleeing collectively was not spectacular.

Isn't it ridiculous that there are naturally some armored forbidden soldiers here, but few of them have taken up arms to resist?

There are too many koi fish in this country, and as for those sturdy koi who can cross the dragon gate and turn into dragons, it seems that they are rare, and most of them are raised fat and fat, just for people to watch.

I thought that this year's war in the west could bring a new atmosphere to the army of the Great Song Dynasty and change the situation that the Great Song Dynasty's armament was weak all year round.

But what made Yang Huairen sad was that the victorious Great Song army lost a lot of vitality on the one hand, although there was no shortage of new soldiers to replenish, but it was really hard to say whether the army could maintain the military strength that had been improved before with such a large-scale blood exchange.

On the other hand, the victorious soldiers began to be proud, which is actually not surprising, the Great Song army has not achieved such a big victory for many years, and the victorious soldiers do have capital to be proud of.

Even the emperor in the palace was inflated like a balloon, so how could the soldiers outside not follow suit?

They didn't recognize the reason for this victory, not because of how strong the Great Song army was, compared to the Western Xia army, the Song army was still a lot worse.

It's just that the Song army occupies the advantage of logistical support, coupled with the infighting in the Western Xia court, the prime minister and the queen mother and sisters seized power, and the party nobles of the rest of the military department have their own thoughts, which gave the Song army a chance.

The bigwigs in the court only dared to boast about their merits, and did not dare to tell the truth, for fear that the glorious image of the emperor's wisdom and martial arts would be damaged in the slightest.

But would a smart person like Zhang Dun not know how this battle was won? Impossible.

It's just that he has his political ambitions to realize, and he has to coax the emperor to let him rule according to his ideas, so he can only deceive himself and force himself to think that the Great Song Dynasty will be peaceful for a long time.

The literati mispredicted the situation, thinking that they could live with peace of mind if they beat the Western Xia halfway and had no power to fight back, and some people even proposed that this battle brought fifty years of national fortune to the Great Song Dynasty.

It's really funny, the Khitan people have changed the new emperor, and he also needs time to consolidate his power, but it will definitely not take fifty years, and in Yelu Bawotai's heart, the Central Plains should also be their Khitans.

Of course, in Yang Huairen's eyes, there are actually many Khitan people who have become koi, farming life and commerce are gradually emerging, and the Khitan nobles who were once immediately feudal have also lived a life of fine clothes and food.

Like the Great Song Dynasty, people are frugal to luxury, from luxury to thrift, the Khitan people are used to living a comfortable life, and then let them fight, it is enough to choke on the strength they once had.

However, the Khitan army does have a lot of troops, and there are more than one million regular forbidden troops, capital troops and partial armies, not counting the millions of tribal armies that graze in peacetime and serve as soldiers in wartime.

Even if so many people don't have to fight, they can ride horses and wear armor and line up in a queue to rush across the Baigou River, which is enough for Da Song to drink a pot.

After all, the Khitan army has a lot of cavalry, which the Song army can't compare, so the Khitans are still a big threat.

But they are not the biggest threat, and the Jurchens in the northeast are undergoing a process of national awakening under the leadership of Wanyan Aguta.

After that, he will take his Wanyan tribe through a process of unifying the Jurchens and multiplying and developing them on a large scale, and in ten years they will truly establish a state, and even the Khitans will not be their opponents at that time.

The Jurchens are not more than 10,000, and they can't be defeated after the end, this is not a scare, the strength of the Jurchens after awakening is incomparable to the Khitans and the Tanguts.

Yang Huairen, who was in a good mood, suddenly became a little worried, handed over his son to his sister to take care of, and pulled Lian'er over to question.

"How is the business in the north of the family doing now?"

Lian'er was still being teased by Yang's mother just now, saying that she was more beautiful than the water lilies in the pond, but she was suddenly pulled over by Yang Huairen to ask such a question, and she couldn't turn her head for a while.

However, seeing that Yang Huairen looked serious, he thought about it carefully before replying, "Back to the official, our family bought a lot of land in Lingnan and planted sugarcane. ”

Yang Huairen nodded and thought about it, and then asked, "Can there be a harvest this year?" ”

Lian'er said, "Yes, when our family bought land, some of them bought sugarcane land, which was planted with sugarcane, because the price was high, and we hired local sugarcane farmers to work, so we could harvest once at the end of the year."

However, there are less than 10,000 acres of such land, only 30% of the harvested land, and the other more than 20,000 acres are planted with late cane and the kind with worse sugar content.

However, the late cane ripens faster, and it can still be harvested at the beginning of next year, and it can also catch up with the early cane that will be planted at the same time next year with better sugar content. ”

Yang Huairen was a little surprised, he didn't expect his plan to be done so well by Lian'er and the housekeepers who bought and sold at home, and in a few months, he had already acquired 30,000 acres of land in Lingnan.

"30,000 acres, so much."

Lian'er smiled, "When the official first explained this matter, he was very anxious, and he also instructed the concubine to plant as much sugarcane as possible.

So the concubine and the housekeepers tried their best to do it, there are many mountains and few people in Lingnan, and some beaches have no owner at all, so when they talk to the local government about recovering the land, they basically don't spend much money, and they buy a large area.

If it weren't for the fear that our family would have bought too much land and would have been arranged indiscriminately, the slave family would have felt that we should have bought more land. ”

Yang Huairen understands Wang Xialian's thoughts, in her concept, the more land you have, the better, but she is also worried that too much land will be said badly by those who have a heart, so she bought enough 30,000 mu and stopped.

Yang Huairen is not clear about the yield per mu of sugarcane in ancient times, and he does not know much about the technology of sugarcane sugar extraction in these years, but he has seen some situations in later generations from some articles.

In later generations, one acre of sugarcane land can produce five to six tons of sugarcane, and after the sugarcane is transported to the sugar factory, it is produced after cleaning, pressing, sinking, evaporation, floating, boiling, honey separation and other steps to produce clean sugar crystals.

However, the sugar at this time was powdered in the form of frosting, and it could not be compared with the white sugar of later generations in terms of sugar size and purity, which should be caused by the gap in the sugar refining process.

Moreover, the sugar yield in later generations is about 13%, about eight catties of sugarcane out of one catty of sugar, and at present, the sugar yield should be even lower.
