Feng Xiaobao rode a horse and happily walked on the newly opened land, the fresh smell of the soil was intoxicating. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Next to him were Yang Chengxian and Cheng Boxi, who were as happy as him.

For the sake of development, almost all three of them stayed in the wasteland, fields and pastures, actively planning the development plan, implementing the plan, except for the necessary exercises and drills.

In front of them were patches of newly cultivated land, which were so continuous that they could barely see the edge!

In a short period of time, people removed weeds, drained stagnant water, leveled the land, built protective embankments, and developed 350,000 acres of land!

250,000 acres are used to grow grain, 50,000 acres are planted with soybeans, and 50,000 acres are planted with pasture.

Unprecedented greatness appeared in front of everyone!

People burst out with terrible power, fighting the heavens and the earth, and asking for nature

In order to grow grain at the fastest speed, Tonghuang County adopted the method of collective farming, using a large number of horses to pull the plow, using a full 1,000 pack horses and 500 ploughing cattle (there are many pack horses, but it is difficult to find ploughing cattle), using ploughs, the developed ones are cultivated in a short time, and the seeds are sown.

It is planted with millet (sorghum), chestnuts, wheat, barley, soybeans, etc., and hemp is also planted in the field.

Alfalfa has even been planted in large quantities, and human animal husbandry has finally reached the point of using high-quality pasture.

The seeds are sown and hopefully the fall will be fruitful!

Although it was the end of summer, people were still continuing to open up the wasteland, Feng Xiaobao heard the bursts of laughter in front of him, so he went over with Yang Chengxian and Cheng Boxi to take a look.

It turned out that two people drove horses and plows to open up the land, and the two drove four-wheel carts (horses pulled plows, and people were on the plows) You chased after me, and they did not give in to each other, and the reclaimed land extended behind them.

One of them, shirtless and dressed in deerskin trousers (many of whom wore leather trousers, for the other materials were hard to find, and the leather trousers were soft and comfortable and extremely durable), saw that his opponent was ahead of him, and feared that he would have no meat to eat, so he jerked his horse.

The horse was not happy, and rushed to the ground, and when its owner found a stump of a large tree with a diameter of one meter in front of him, it was too late to stop the horse.

The horse rushed over the stump, and the plough struck the middle of the stump, and the sharp tip split most of the stump.

The man was still holding the handle, and the plough went through the stump cleanly, dragging the man over!

Fierce enough!

That person won the first place, Feng Xiaobao looked at it interestingly, and rewarded him with a gold coin!

"The quality of our plough is quite good, it comes from the Tang family in Liangzhou, it is tough and durable, the plough is so powerful, let alone making weapons!" Guo Xingsan, head of the logistics department, explained.

"Hmmm! We have a lot of horsepower, a sharp plow, and a fast farm! "Yang Chengxian has become an agricultural expert, and he and Feng Xiaobao and Cheng Boxi have indeed gone to plant the land in person... Half a day.

"With good tools, everyone is also interested, it is impossible to have a good harvest this year!" Cheng Boxi continued.

"Don't take it lightly, we have to work hard before the grain is in storage!" Feng Xiaobao said calmly.

They opened up the wasteland, sowed the seeds, and harvested the harvest, relying on the extraordinary fertility of the land, and the crops went down to the ground and swished upward.

The fields are quite scaled, with canals and dikes readily available to prevent drought and waterlogging, and to be as prepared as possible, and large areas of grassland are also preserved, making the best use of natural rivers to reduce the workload and get twice the result with half the effort.

……

Leaving the fields, they strolled through the vast grasslands and saw herds of horses, cattle and sheep, which was really delightful.

The grassland is vast, the land here is vast and the people are few, the land is occupied, and one of their Tonghuang counties is as big as several military states in the interior!

"When we came, we bought all the mares along the way, almost every mare is giving birth, the cows are not bad, the calves have given birth to a lot, and next year will be a period of great development!" Yang Chengxian said happily.

"I'm still too slow!" Feng Xiaobao shook his head and said, these days, even the cavalry has been dispatched to graze, and everyone is very busy.

"Xiaobao, we've done enough!" Cheng Boxi preached.

When they came back from outside the grassland, it was already nightfall, and on the hill outside the city, the lights of Tonghuang County were brilliant!

……

Autumn is coming, the heavy ears of wheat bend the branches, the soybeans are fruitful, the alfalfa is densely packed, and the wind blows like waves, which is very gratifying.

Their luck is good, God appreciates their faces, the wind and rain are smooth, and they have not encountered any disasters.

All the people are engaged in the crazy harvest, all the manpower that can be used comes in handy, no one can be idle, even women and children follow out of the city before dawn, Feng Xiaobao and many adults are no exception!

Everyone gets up early and is greedy for darkness, harvests with sickles, picks fruits, and strives to put grain into storage.

The road was lined with horse-drawn carts, piled high with grain, and people were busy carrying the harvest to the storehouses that had been prepared long ago.

There are two kinds of warehouses, one is an ordinary large warehouse, which has a simple function and is used to store grain.

Another kind of warehouse is the warehouse in the winery.

Feng Xiaobaotu is exhausted, he is going to make liquor from grain!

A dark chess piece laid out before turned into a bright chess, and he once told the princess about the principle of distilled liquor... He won't be able to fight the real army, the principle will, and he will hand it over to Princess Qianjin to organize people to experiment, which has already had a certain effect.

So in Tonghuang County, he established a distillery to make liquor from grain!

With his management and technical level, the grain harvest is not a problem, and Tonghuang County can't eat it at all, and it can't be transported away!

In the future, when Tibet and the Tang Dynasty went to war, the food here was of course military, and there was no difference.

But if there is no war, there is a lot of food, and it is impossible to eat it, and how to deal with the excess after removing and transporting a batch to the surrounding garrisons (not a lot, after all, there is no big fight)?

Transporting it to other places, then he is really crazy, transporting grain for thousands of miles, and not saving one out of ten.

Therefore, only high-value products can be shipped abroad and can be profitable.

The answer is winemaking!

Only liquor can be profitable!

Liquor, to a certain extent, is concentrated grain, the same way, Feng Xiaobao's horses, cattle and sheep, live livestock, especially horses, can earn a lot of money, and they can also be slaughtered in large quantities and air-dried, so that four catties of fresh meat get a pound of jerky, air-dried meat is concentrated meat, and long-distance transportation has the possibility of profit.

Don't forget that Feng Xiaobao raised millions of dollars to explain to the shareholders!

This explanation is not bad, because the land is fertile, the yield per mu is 150 catties, and 250,000 mu of land has a total of 18,750 tons of grain, which is a jaw-dropping harvest in that era! (Without chemical fertilizer, it is already a very amazing yield per mu)

And based on one pound of rice a day for one person (and fish and meat to eat), tens of thousands of people eat 1,800 tons of grain a year, although there are

Five thousand horses were slaughtered, five thousand cattle were slaughtered, and thirty thousand sheep were slaughtered. (Injected with water, a large number of horses, cattle and sheep are bought, filled, and used to look good on the books, and the grain is real, and money can't buy it!) ）

And next year, the number is expected to double!

The harvest was reported to the imperial court, and the emperor and the ministers were shaken! (To be continued.) )
