Chapter 983: Change
Zhang Han nodded lightly, it is true, why is it only 3 million mu for two consecutive years...... In fact, it is the number of acres of land in a state in the south of the Yangtze River, if it is purely reclaimed by manpower, it is good to reclaim dozens of acres a year, and there is no shortage of cattle and horses on the grassland, whether it is cattle or horse farming, sufficient animal power is a great help.

In addition, there are plenty of iron tools, how many kinds of equipment you need, there are enough forks, rakes and hoes, and the quality is high, if there are enough manpower, what is lacking is of course only fertility.
Fortunately, the number of livestock is sufficient, but it is not easy for the scattered herds to collect manure, and most of them still rely on pigs and chickens in captivity and a small amount of collected livestock manure to accumulate fertilizer and fertilizer fields.
If it weren't for such a comprehensive consideration, the number of acres of land would have exceeded 10 million.
Of course, even so, after three years, it will not be difficult to reclaim tens of millions of acres of fertile land......
"As for what crops to plant, this is all arranged by Mr. Kong." Li Dongxue continued: "There are 2 million mu of sweet potatoes that are planned to be planted once in the spring, mainly to fertilize the fields, and the sweet potatoes harvested are also not a small supplement to military needs, and nearly 300,000 mu are intended to be planted with wheat for the winter. The winter on the grassland is too cold, and Mr. Kong is worried that it will be difficult for the wheat seedlings to overwinter, so the area for planting wheat is not large...... The average production capacity per mu is more than two stones. In addition, the rest is all planted with wintering vegetables, with the most radishes and beans, and there will definitely be no shortage of vegetables in the military division next year...... Beiyu is really a waste, so much land can't grow vegetables. β
Zhang Han smiled and said, "You can't blame the Beiyu, they are born without this skill attribute. β
Several people didn't understand what the skill attribute was, but it didn't affect them from understanding Zhang Han's words.
The longer they get along, the more Zhang Han can't understand words, which makes them more mysterious and makes people faintly feel a sense of awe.
"Kong Zhi is hard!" Zhang Han sighed: "There are still two or three months to celebrate the New Year, but the weather will get worse and worse, so let him go back to Qingcheng two months in advance." β
Kong Minxing's family moved from Lizhuang to Qingcheng again.
From a disciple of a famous minister to help in Lizhuang, and then gave up his career, took his family to move to Lizhuang, and then from Lizhuang to Qingcheng, Kong Minxing's changes also illustrate the changes in Zhang Han's strength...... Now I don't boast that it doesn't take much effort to recruit some undesirable people, at least the subordinates of this class can recruit more to decorate the faΓ§ade, but Zhang Han disdains this, otherwise, Xuanda can be left to his choice.
At the gate of the city, in addition to the merchant army, there was also a group of Mongols patrolling back and forth.
The weather was cold, the snow was falling, the city was already covered in silver, and the patrol soldiers were all covered with snow, but when they saw Zhang Han, everyone had a smile on their faces.
"You've worked hard today." Zhang Han opened the window of the car and said to the two teams of soldiers: "After you get off duty, you can drink two taels of soju per person, don't drink too much." β
"Thank you, sir!"
Everyone was overjoyed, the team of Mongols should be the subordinates of the silver ingots, and they were also controlled according to the rules of the merchant army, of course, they were not allowed to drink alcohol at ordinary times, such a snowy day, they could drink two sips after the next duty, although they were only allowed to drink two taels, which made these men who drank a lot of alcohol feel quite regretful, but this was already an unexpected joy.
Entering from the city gate, Zhang Han said: "The appearance of the city is very different." β
Li Shenming smiled smugly and said, "You have been out for so long, and you won't do anything when we are here?" β
Li Dongxue said: "Not only here in Qingcheng, the military department plans to restore the old central capital after the financial relief in the past two years, and the place there is big, so it is really easy to make a fuss." β
Speaking of this, everyone looked at Tian Jitang, Tian Jitang smiled bitterly, and spread his hands and said: "I followed the adults all the way to Saiyin Shanda and the Gobi District, and the repaired road took Angu Linao as a station, one station every sixty miles, until it reached the trading city, the scale of the thirty stations is almost the size of the military fort, the cost of each station is more than 10,000 taels, and the silver taels to be used every sixty miles are 5,000 taels. We haven't made a budget for next year yet, but it is estimated that there will be no big deficit, and there will still be a small deficit. Unless it's a new insurance business that makes a lot of money, then the pressure is much less. β
"Speaking of insurance." Sun Jingting said with a smile: "That Shi Congbin is really a clever person, asking him to find such a good opportunity, which can be regarded as solving the matter of offending us, and it will be difficult to deal with him in the future." β
Li Shenming sneered: "The last run, we said that we would wait to talk to him after throwing away our hands, this guy is really good, and I really can't do anything to him now." β
"His nephew Shi Kefa is also lucky." Sun Jingting said: "It is also with our strength to escape from the Beijing Division, otherwise with his identity as a proud disciple of Zuo Guangdou, plus the affairs of visiting the prison, the limelight is out, and it is also in the eyes of the factory guard, without us, it is really not possible to escape." β
Zhang Han knew that Shi Kefa was in danger, but with the grace of help, it could be regarded as a good fate. However, Zhang Han lacks interest in Shi Kefa, even if he is in the future, he will at most take out the horse bone to be a horse bone in the gold market, which is a mascot to put it bluntly.
Shi Kefa is really there, there were too many renegade ministers who surrendered at the end of the Ming Dynasty, Shi Kefa was an outlier at that time, and it was really respectable.
However, under the order to shave his hair, people with lofty ideals such as Lingnan Sanzhong were generously martyred, and made considerable contributions to the great cause of the Qing Dynasty.
Sun Jingting and the others continued to chat, September on the grassland is different from the inner town, heavy snow will be one after another, there is almost no interval, if you look at the experience of the Mongolians in recent years, many places are prone to snow disasters.
Later generations of TV news people will see the snow disaster in the grassland area, that is the real inland people can not imagine the heavy snow, days and nights of heavy snow, snow across the yurt, buryed, the snow is more than half a person high, can not go out at all, the reserve of food can only wait for people to die, the livestock will be pressed across the barn, will be frozen and starved to death...... The snow disaster in this era is a little more violent than in later generations, and the military department has made considerable preparations in advance, but there are hidden worries in many pastures in Tumut, mainly because many local men are still detained to work, and there are not enough men, even with the help of the military department, this winter will still be quite difficult.
"Food, food must be sufficient." After listening to a few words, Zhang Han said with a smile: "As long as you don't freeze to death and starve to death, you won't be afraid, the herd will inevitably suffer some losses, we have suffered a lot in the past few years, right, tomorrow and the next year, the shepherds will all go back, give them food, and give us grazing, and the number of kung fu herds will rise again in three or five years, and when the time comes, they will be sold to Beijing and the south, and they will make a lot of money from those southern buns!" β
Everyone laughed when they heard this, and they also knew that it was Zhang Han who had worked hard for several months and returned to Qingcheng after presiding over the defensive battle against Chahar, and he was very relaxed mentally, so he would have his current performance.
Zhang Han was very satisfied with everything in front of him.
A large number of old Buddhist temples were either demolished and rebuilt, or rebuilt on the original basis.
Of course, the Mongols and lamas were not happy, but in advance, when the force was inferior to the people, the displeasure was like a fart, and when it was released, it turned into pure energy, and there was nothing. The emotions of the suppressed party are like springs, and it is actually a good thing to press it a little, so that they can understand their status and identity, as long as they do not press it to the end, that is, the food and not starving to death as Zhang Han said, it is a good thing to give a little oppression.
Only the Yinding Temple is still preserved in the city, which can be regarded as giving some face to the Mongolian high-level.
The Khan's palace was also retained, but the scope was reduced a lot, and the guards were all Mongols from the Tumut Department, which could be regarded as the peace of mind of Omu Buhong Xiaotaiji, who inherited the Khan's throne.
The imperial court was blind to the situation in Qingcheng, since Omu Buhong was the eldest son of the late Bu Shitu Khan, and there were no obvious signs of opposition internally, and neither the governor of the three sides nor the governor of Xuanda found any unusual movements, and in July, the imperial court had sent an envoy to Qingcheng to officially canonize Omu Buhong as the king of Shunyi, the head of the new Tumut tribe.
In addition to the Yinding Temple and the Khan Palace, the large and small Buddhist temples in the city have been changed to the standard Han residential appearance, the street is bolted to the horse stone and the horse stone is lowered, the gatehouse of the three bays is wide open, the door of the wall instrument is complete, the general portal is also the symmetrical wing room on both sides of the north house of the gatehouse, all the way over, many children are playing on the street at the gate of the courtyard, the women are cleaning up and preparing to cook in the courtyard, the smoke and aroma are mixed together, the typical Han city atmosphere has been revealed.
There are several small barracks in the city, uniformed soldiers walking with their heads held high, the copper buckles on their bodies are shining, and the cloaks and hats are covered with snow, and the soldiers don't care, which provokes some girls who have not been out of the cabinet to look straight into the eyes, and Yusheng's territory, the respect for the soldiers is not concealed at all, and all families are proud of marrying the soldiers, no one can be sure, the ordinary new army officers and soldiers who are still big-headed soldiers today, will they be promoted to the level of officers in a few years? A company-level officer can at least share 1,500 acres of land, that is the mature field that Mr. Kong has made, with the help of the military department, if it is an ordinary 1,000 acres of land, a year's interest is up to 100 taels of interest, in the hands of the military department, at least 2,300 dividends a year, if it reaches the battalion level and regiment level, at least 1,000 taels a year, and can be passed on to future generations, blessing the descendants.
The status of a soldier is useless just by words, and the real benefits, together with various measures and years of hard work, have finally raised the status of a soldier.
The officials walked out of the yamen of the various marching divisions, and they also saw the cars of Zhang Han and others at a glance, and some young juniors had already cheered, and Zhang Han also smiled and waved to them.
Most of these older officials were recruited, and many of them had the status of Xiucai, and then received systematic civil service training in Lizhuang, and some of them graduated from schools in various parts of Lizhuang, and had already received systematic training in official operations, and they could get started after a period of internship after they came out. From various schools, in addition to the outstanding seedlings selected to the army, there are also quite a lot of outstanding young people who have been enriched in various military divisions, it can be said that and Yusheng can continue to develop and grow, business in various places are getting more and more smooth, all kinds of government affairs are becoming more and more smooth, and the role of these officials is also great.
