Chapter 749

"A household of 50 acres, 3,000 households is 150,000 acres of land, the alfalfa grass production is huge, the second year after sowing to five years, the annual yield of fresh grass per mu is generally between 4,000 and 8,000 catties, and the hay yield can be between 1,000 catties and 1,600 catties."

"In this way, the hay alone can harvest at least 150 million catties or more. If it is mixed with some fine materials, it is completely enough for all the cavalry and horses of my Great Song Dynasty to spend the winter. ”

"But grazing used to be eaten by the livestock themselves, and the grass we planted like this, are the cows and horses really used to eating it?" Gao Yu and other officials still had doubts hidden in their eyes.

After all, it's just about growing food, especially planting pasture, I'm afraid it's the first time I've heard of everyone growing so big in their lives.

"Don't worry, has this official ever done that thankless job?" Wang Yang smiled, and with a word, the dozen or so officials present directly scolded them so much that they didn't dare to put another one.

That's right, although Wang Jingluo usually seems a little out of tune, but he really hasn't made any mistakes in doing things, and before he makes any mistakes, everyone can only continue to believe him.

Anyway, now that they have negotiated with those 2,000 households, Wang Yang suddenly appeared in front of everyone to announce the news, can he still jump out and oppose it? Isn't that?

In case you are worried about this goods, don't ...... Think about the fate of those important court ministers who are against Wang Yang and Wang Wushan, the picture is too beautiful to imagine, and even the high-ranking and powerful court officials can't wait to retreat when they encounter this goods.

Can these petty officials with a small position still be able to live three rounds in the hands of this Wang Jingluo, who is both civil and military?

However, Wang Yang patiently explained to these officials that the biggest reason why it was difficult to raise horses in the Song Dynasty in the past was the lack of high-quality pasture, and this alfalfa is a leguminous plant, which is rich in nutrients and easy to store.

It is not only used to make green feed, but also very suitable for making dry feed. There are not many places to graze horses in the Great Song Dynasty, and in such a situation, there is not enough forage to store these hundreds of thousands of war horses.

Therefore, Wang Yang patted his chest and made a guarantee to the Son of Heaven that with the output of the land of Sanzhou, he could ensure that he could supply the hundreds of thousands of war horses of the Great Song Dynasty.

If you don't blow it, you can't do it, besides, when will Wang Daguan just brag and not do practical things?

Of course, this also has a price, that is, these pastures will be converted into taxes paid by Yanzhou to the court.

According to the calculation of the consistent cost per stone of grain, the average output of one mu of land is one and a half stones, and 150,000 mu is 225,000 yuan, which is enough to be equivalent to the average value of the states on Shaanxi Road in the Great Song Dynasty.

Although the cultivation has only just begun, the officials and servants have not been idle in the past few months, and most of the time they have gone deep into the fields to re-measure and plan the fields of these three states.

Nowadays, almost all of the more than 2 million acres of land are being worked hard by ordinary people, and the same is true of Hongzhou. The fields within the northernmost boundary of Youzhou are almost all temporarily vacant, except for a small amount that continues to be cultivated by those Han people.

Because Youzhou is currently under extensive renovation and construction. Youzhou is located in the northernmost part of the land of Sanzhou, bordering the Sand Sea in the north, Xiazhou in the east, Xiangqing Military Division in the west, and Hongzhou in the south.

As long as Youzhou is in the hands of the Great Song Dynasty, it is equivalent to cutting off the territory of Western Xia south of the Sand Sea. If the Tangut people wanted to communicate with each other, they either ventured through the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, or they had to honestly detour more than a thousand miles.

It can be said that Youzhou is like a steel knife on the waist of the strong man of Western Xia, and Yanzhou is like a dagger pointed at the throat of the strong man of Western Xia.

This is the fundamental reason why even if the Great Song Dynasty temporarily rests and calms the heart of Western Xia, Western Xia will do everything possible to recapture the land of these three states.

The height of the original city wall in Youzhou is less than one zhang and two, and the thickness is less than one zhang. From the very beginning, after Wang Yang was appointed as the pacification envoy of the three states, he conducted a detailed and meticulous investigation of the three states, and after reaching an agreement with the military generals.

After several months of construction, coupled with the relocation of 10,000 Xiang troops, Youzhou was more like a military fortress in the northwest border of the Great Song Dynasty than a state of governance.

At present, the city wall of Youzhou has been thickened and increased, so that the perimeter of the city wall of Youzhou city is still maintained at ten miles, but the thickness of its bottom has reached two zhang, the thickness of the top has reached one zhang and five, and the height has also been raised from the original one zhang and two to two zhang.

In addition, the urn city was built at the four gates, coupled with the relocation of those Western Xia people, which made Youzhou impregnable.

The repairs and reconstructions of Hongzhou are not so exaggerated, but the height, thickness and solidity of its walls have also been greatly improved.

In addition, the land of Hongzhou is fertile, so only 10,000 Xiang troops and their dependents migrated to Hongzhou, while Hongzhou left 20,000 Xiang troops and their dependents.

There are also 10,000 soldiers and their dependents who have now arrived in Yanzhou, and will continue to march to the northwest, and their future home will be settled in the new Yanzhou Prefecture City, which is taking shape at a rapid pace.

By the end of March, a batch of about 2,000 houses had been completed, and it is expected that by mid-April, it will not be a problem for the new Yanzhou city to accommodate 10,000 residents.

The 10,000-man army and their dependents are expected to arrive in Xinyanzhou around April 10, and after arriving in Xinyanzhou, they will be able to move into their new homes in Xinyanzhou one after another.

Thank God, at least this year's weather has been very normal, the spring is relatively dry and rainless, and there are no disasters, so all the construction period has not been delayed due to weather and natural disasters.

#####

In addition, this also ushered in a bumper harvest for some people, such as Wang Daguan, who also ushered in his own full harvest after a spring of hard work.

"I can't think of the old man...... Ahem, I didn't expect that I was going to be a father at such a young age......" Master Wang looked at Li Qingzhao, who looked round and jade, in front of him, and muttered to himself.

"And one is to be two fathers." As soon as his eyes moved, he fell to the side, another beautiful woman Liu Yiyi, who also looked very round and jade.

Hearing the nonsense of this old man Wang, the three girls present couldn't help but roll their lovely eyes in unison. "Lang Jun is talking nonsense, what do you mean by two fathers? You want to be the father of two babies. ”

"Well, the lady said it very well, it was for her husband to lose her words, anyway, why is it so coincidental? If you don't conceive, you won't conceive, and if you conceive, you will ......" Wang Yang touched his chin and continued to maintain a very mysterious expression, muttering again.

“…… Sister, little sister, let's go out first, it seems that we should call the old doctor who took the pulse of the two of us, and also check the pulse of our Lang Jun, to see if he is happy and confused. Liu Yiyi stood up with a helpless look and made a gesture to go out.

"How healthy is the husband's body, how can he be sick, at most he is a little overjoyed, just take a rest, come on, sit down quickly, you still sit down as you did, let the husband appreciate one or two. Not...... Master, come here, come and sit on my side, you sit there uncoordinated......"
