After Emptying the Enemy’s Warehouse, He Carried Supplies To Survive the Disaster Years

Chapter 92 Spring Plowing

Ziyu, who was surrounded by people, stood on a high place and looked at the fields showing the soil.

 The melted snow on the mountains gathered into a large waterfall and rushed into the lake. The overflowing lake water rushed into Daxia Bay along the ditch.

 The matter of raising cotton and rice seedlings has been handed over to Chen Da.

 The sawwood fermented over the winter was used as soil for cultivating seedlings. Under the guidance of Ziyu, a half-filled jar of water, the seedlings in the greenhouse had broken out of the soil.

Leaning on Bai Yi's purple jade, he looked at the large area of ​​land and was worried. Even if all the empty rooms were used to raise seedlings, it would not be enough to cultivate more than 900 acres of land.

 The serious shortage of manpower was very obvious at this time.

  Cheng Yuanju, who officially serves as a servant, took office for the first time today and ran all the way to deliver the news.

 You can also hire them to do the work in the fields, and it won’t be a problem to make a living. "

Two years passed and he was able to deal with the land again. General Chen focused all his attention on the fields in the valley.

 Raising chickens, ducks and pigs has become the most urgent need in the valley.

 Some corners and small plots of land are planted with vegetables brought in, such as cabbage, radishes, ginger, onions, garlic, sweet fruits, and peppers.

“Master, the land in the village has been plowed and we are just waiting for the weather to get warm before sowing.

 The days when they have enough food, clothing, and cash rewards are the best life for them.

 “Master, Chief Sha Village has brought people over!”

To make arrangements for farming, go to Chen Da. To get supplies, go to Butler Sheng. First, take someone to exchange for Butler Sheng. "

Sha Dalang bowed his head and said yes. Although he sympathized with those people, he was not arrogant enough to make decisions on his own.

 Farther away, sweet potatoes are mainly grown.

 The work of breeding has long been divided up by the servants of the family, and they are just waiting for the merchant ships to go out and buy them back.

 “Get up, watch Magnolia!” The man with a sullen face twitched his face.

 “Okay, just wait for this day!”

 The technology of raising seedlings was novel at this time, and none of them had heard of it.

 It will take at least a month for all the snow in the mountains to melt.

The nine men from Shajia Village came over. After a winter of recuperation, the bodies of the nine men were obviously much stronger, and they no longer looked as haggard as before.

 People who come from a farm family feel as uncomfortable as a cat clawing at the vast tracts of empty land.

 …

The female relatives of Baojiu and Wang Xingwang also worked in the fields, and even three-year-old children were required to go to the fields to pick grass roots.

The little wolf cub, who has just turned one full moon, is curled up in Ziyu's arms, humming, and his pure blue eyes are moist and very strange.

 “Yulan, let Butler Sheng come over!”

 At the beginning of April, after the stench in the valley had dissipated, one hundred acres of spring wheat, one hundred and fifty acres of cobs, twenty acres of peanuts and beans, and forty acres of sweet potatoes were planted on the hillside.

Go to the housekeeper Sheng to get a shed made of raw-color coarse cloth. It is a heavy responsibility to raise seedlings outside. You must pay attention to temperature changes at all times.

 Ziyu knew that the ship had left Daxia Bay in recent days and had been waiting for this day.

 I hope it’s not cold in spring! "Zi Yu looked at the mountains in the distance and said.

Two families in the village wanted to sell themselves to the young master, so they asked the young master to make a decision. "

"Okay, little one, let's go!" When he heard there was work to do, Chen Da ran faster than anyone else.

“The seedlings cultivated in the courtyard are definitely not enough, so ten acres of land were flattened to cultivate seedlings.

Wang Xingwang thought of the five big snow wolves lying in the corridor outside. No matter how much time passed, the soles of his feet would still feel cold.

 For the ancient times when there was no fertilizer, this was all Ziyu could think of.

The newly thawed ground was filled with snow and water, and if you stepped barefoot into the ice for a while, your feet would turn red from the cold, so Ziyu didn't let the servants of the family go to the ground.

“You have limited manpower, so you need to arrange your crops in a reasonable manner, and don’t think about becoming a big fat man in one bite.

 Ziyu caressed the little Tuanzi in her arms, which was the most beautiful of Bai Wuxia's three cubs.

“There is no need to sell oneself, just let them rent land to farm, 30% of the rent is not much.

The little wolf cub was so rare that he carried it wherever he went. Even Xiao Luo was ranked behind Bai Piao.

First, they learned seedling raising techniques from Chen Da, and then five people from Shajia Village were sent to learn rowing.

 Chen Da, who was in charge of farming, was so anxious when he saw that other people were working in the fields, but they were still standing on the ground watching the excitement.

Eating fish every day, many people have had enough and just want a change of taste.

 Because of its uniqueness, Bai Wu took the initiative to give this wolf cub to its owner.

Ziyu talked about whatever she thought of, and felt that she had nothing to say, so she let the nine people who had received the silver reward go down.

 I wish I could turn over all the land again in one night.

He was so energetic that he could dig hard with just one **** while wearing only a single coat.

 Twenty acres of land in high areas with sufficient sunshine are reserved for cotton transplanting.

One day, Wang Xingwang came to Ziyu to report the good news.

"Mix the accumulated plant ashes with manure, spread it evenly on the field, and start plowing after three days."

Wearing an unpatched coarse cotton jacket, with a cloth belt tied around the waist, and a white scarf on her head, Ziyu immediately thought of an old farmer in northern Shaanxi.

Sha Dalang and the other nine people knelt down three steps away from Ziyu and kowtowed three times without hesitation, making Ziyu feel like she had ascended to immortality.

 “Young Master is right!”

“In addition to the craftsmen, we also need fifty people who are good at farming.

Little Luo also ran along with him. The little guy, who is one year older now, is so energetic that he can't stop for a moment.

Old Tietou was unable to row a boat because of his old age. At this time, he was arranging his ten acres of land with a hoe.

Nowadays, no one dares to get close to the Ziyu brothers, for fear of being pounced on by the snow wolf and bitten.

They are naturally full of expectations for what they are going to do, because it is related to their stomach problems.

The snow-white hair all over the body looks like a mutated snow wolf, completely different from the white and gray hair of the five snow wolves.

“The master of the castle has good luck, Sha Dalang leads the villagers to wish you a belated New Year.”

“Master, the boatmen are all trained and ready to go.”

The maids were not worried about going to the fields, but were full of expectations.

As soon as Steward Sheng arrives, Ziyu will leave it to him to pick up the craftsman in Xin'an County.

Zi Yu named her Bai Piao. Zi Yu would feel happy every time she called "Bai Piao".

Ziyu didn’t expect that the land in Kaner Village had been plowed. These people were afraid that they would go to the ground before the snow melted.

 The snow-capped mountains in the distance are covered with snow all year round, so water supply is the least of your worries.

Time waits for no one in the valley. It is necessary to build houses and put seedlings into the fields. The people in the valley alone cannot finish the work in a month.

 …

“Yes, Master!” Yulan covered her mouth and snickered, then ran back to the yard to get the silver peanuts. Sha Dalang and others who stood up were delighted when they heard this.

 The ferocity of wolves is inherent in their bones and will not be forgotten just because they have been trained by humans.

 Most of the men were assigned to learn rowing, and the manpower was even more scarce.

The old, weak, sick and disabled sold themselves to her and still had to pay for their livelihood. Only a fool would engage in such a loss-making business. Ziyu had no intention of being a good person.

“Master, they are all busy in the fields, should we go down and break ground early?”

 …

It doesn’t matter if there are more than a dozen good carpenters. Two rows of houses need to be built at the entrance of the valley and the stone arch bridge.

Last year, the widow from that family came to join us, and she happened to be helping in the kitchen. We added ten other women to help in the kitchen, and the wages were the same as last year. "
