Chapter 243 Chapter 243
According to Xu Ji's calculations, if the winter in the Northland is not so long, the cotton production can be at least doubled, and the quality can be doubled several times.

The growing period is short and the sunshine time is not long enough, which leads to the failure of cotton to display its due characteristics.

Even so, up to Song Qingzhai, down to ordinary people are satisfied.

On the other hand, Xu Ji is also promoting the cultivation of Ma Ge and other things, which are also limited by the region, and the output is not high.

As for residential areas, the situation is very optimistic.

With Xu Ji's help in farming, the army will send soldiers to take turns to work in the fields every year. They have strict discipline, and Xu Ji can use them like arms and fingers, and their work efficiency is extremely high.

In addition to farming for the army, in addition to training, he will also help the common people make adobe and build kilns.

As the construction of Beidi is getting better and better, many outsiders have been attracted, including many high-quality craftsmen from all walks of life.

While the population of the North has increased rapidly, the infrastructure has also become more complete.

The kiln is just a small microcosm of it.

With the kiln, brick houses began to appear in the Northland, and the tableware for daily use began to become more abundant and high-end.

Song Qingzhai was not good at construction, so he specially assigned people to manage this matter, and built new towns in densely populated places, but the management was still relatively strict to ensure that these people were loyal to their duties.

Seeing that it was almost a year since the end of the peace talks, and the Northland was full of prosperity, Song Qingjiang and Song Qinghe felt a little impatient, and they approached Song Qingzhai and asked him how he was thinking about his marriage.

"My lord," Song Qingjiang said, "The princess will be 17 years old after the new year. At this age, she is already a mother in our countryside..."

Song Qinghe was afraid that Song Qingzhai wouldn't like to hear it, so he quickly followed up and added: "My lord, brother has no other intentions, I just think that if you can't settle down like this, it's not good for the princess after all.

"Although our family agrees with your affairs, what about the palace? If they don't speak up, your reputation will be wronged. After a long time, I'm afraid someone will chew the tongue of the princess.

"It doesn't matter to us men, but the princess is a girl after all."

"I don't care about these things," Xu Ji just came to find Song Qingzhai, one foot in and one foot out of the door, listening to all the Song brothers said, "You two brothers don't need to worry too much."

The two brothers of the Song family looked at each other, they obviously came to urge the marriage, okay?

But this matter still reminded Song Qingzhai, "Why don't we hold an engagement ceremony in the near future."

The two brothers of the Song family looked at each other and nodded quickly: "Yes, yes, this is better!"

It doesn't matter to Xu Ji, but now that he is still young, the date of marriage can be pushed back.

Before the first snowfall in winter, Beidi ushered in a group of special guests—the Song family came to Beidi with their whole family!

Song Qingzhai was well aware of this, but still made a look of surprise and joy, and brought his personal guards and the Song brothers to greet him.

Xu Ji was not in Xucheng because he went to inspect the arsenal, so he missed the welcome.

Song Qingzhai originally wanted to settle the Song family in the princess mansion, but the old couple of the Song family disagreed with everything.

He had no choice but to settle for the next best thing, and arranged a house near the princess mansion.

Song's father is nearly 70 years old, and his body is still strong, but Song's mother has contracted a cough in recent years, which can be good and bad.

When I came to the Northland, I was not used to the climate here, and fell ill again.

Although Lu Na is a military doctor, he is also the doctor with the best medical skills in the Northland. Song Qingzhai immediately sent someone to invite him.
