Chapter 1694 Liangshui Town, which is beginning to show prosperity

Before General Bai and other generals left, they also took several boats of this year's new grain, and also allocated some to villages and towns with insufficient grain production so that they could spend the winter.

The paddy field has two seasons a year, and the local rice yield is the upper limit of [-] catties per mu. This kind of output is regarded by the Dong'an government as a natural place with rich soil and water and suitable for farming. It is said that it has been listed on the imperial court.

Qi Ke has been sending people here to open up wasteland since last year. With the large number of people and decentralized management, until now, these peasant girls who actually worked did not know how many acres of land they had opened.

Anyway, according to the account book given by Qi Ke, the yield per mu of rice in the two seasons this year is very amazing. There are more than 5000 mu of rice fields, with a total of more than 200 million catties of millet.

This is just rice fields, excluding wheat fields, vegetable fields, and other agricultural land.

No one knows how these ration fields, which add up to at least tens of thousands of mu, were opened up. They really thought that they had been produced bit by bit by manpower since last year.

In fact, this is of course the credit of the large agricultural machinery. It was done quietly in the middle of the night, and when the manpower reclamation was extended bit by bit, it would be connected with the large fields opened by machines.

In order to prevent the flaws from being seen, after the machine is out of the field, it should be watered, fertilized, and sowed. In short, it should be used first. When the manpower reclaimed field is extended, the traces of land reclaimed here will not be visible.

Relying on manpower, it is impossible for those peasant girls who are exhausted to produce so much land in a year.

No one has studied how so many fields were developed. Anyway, it is true that so much food has been harvested. The soldiers who came to support the work before, peeled off their skin and broke their waists also received generous rewards. Take it with you, and everyone carries a burden and happily returns with the team.

More than 200 million catties of millet are the total harvest of the two crops of rice this year. Part of the early rice has been divided, a part of the current late rice is divided, and a part is reserved for rice seeds. The rest is placed in the military granary in Liangshui Town. For other situations that need to be allocated, it will always be put in next year's new grain to make room for new ones.

After the trade fair is over, we will start busy with winter wheat and greenhouse vegetables. It has been agreed that this year we will transfer people from various villages and towns to study, but Qi Ke will go to Fu County to see his own industry. The farming has been arranged elsewhere. The deputy housekeeper takes care of it.

The merchants who participated in the trade fair left a lot, but there were still merchants in the town hall who came to discuss business, most of them were from Dong'an Prefecture and surrounding wealthy villages and towns, and they came to discuss the business of buying winter vegetables and meat.

In winter in Dong'an Prefecture, the whole city doesn't have any fresh food to eat, and the villages and towns below are the same. Naturally, the stewards couldn't let go of this opportunity, and quickly signed an order before the beginning of winter.

Fresh meat, vegetables and eggs can only be supplied to the local area and the surrounding area. The products that are not on the trade fair list, the quantity that can be bought is specially supplied to the private sector. The number of chickens, ducks, geese, goose eggs and live poultry are tens of thousands, and beef cattle are not for sale. , Sheep are limited to purchase, pigs are limited, and rabbits are not limited to buy at will.

The wild goose is an earth breed that Qi Ke raises in Qianhejing. He specially saves a lot of fertilized eggs, which are specially hatched and sold as a poultry breed in Liangshui Town.

The locals had never seen this breed before, so they thought it was a new poultry imported from the ocean fleet. The quality of the meat was indeed delicious, and it was a bit more expensive than geese, but new poultry was expensive for a reason.

The rich people in Dong'an Mansion really don't need the money to buy meat geese. Although some of Qi Ke's deeds are quite disgusting at the level of the Maritime Merchant Guild, the goods produced in Liangshui Town are all good things. dislike.

Qi Ke actually wants to sell some quails. This one is like geese. It has stored a lot of fertilized eggs, but now it has sold geese. Think about hatching quail eggs next year. Grilled quails and fried quails are a must for summer barbecue stalls. It's cooking.
