Chapter 259: Leap Forward Development
At the beginning of the year, Fanyang Mansion vigorously reclaimed wasteland, which was already quite experienced in the construction of ditches, and under the condition of sufficient manpower and material resources, a large number of wasteland on both sides of the Zhanghe River in Fanyang Province was reclaimed, and many water conservancy channels were built, etc., and after entering the autumn, some fields have begun to be harvested.
With the help of Fanyang College, the agricultural camp also compiled some illustrated books on agricultural and animal husbandry guidance, such as "Detailed Explanation of Sericulture", "Detailed Discussion on Farming", and "Animal Husbandry Guidance", to provide strong help to the villagers in the area under the jurisdiction of Fanyang Prefecture.
Liu Yandong saw all this in his eyes, full of a sense of sufficiency, this is the result of his efforts in the past year, and Liu Feng is smiling, and he is also determined to continue to increase the development of agriculture and animal husbandry.
Qizhou also began the autumn harvest, more than one million acres of fertile land, making Qizhou this year another big harvest year, and after adopting a more scientific planting method, Qizhou's yield per mu has also reached about two stones.
Although there is a lot of land suitable for agriculture in Luzhou, but due to Meng Fangli's inaction, the land in Luzhou has been abandoned a lot, and the water conservancy is not repaired, which makes the agricultural harvest in Luzhou too much under Fanyang Mansion.
Wu'an City, has become the heavy industry center of Fanyang Province, Wu'an coal mine and large refinery, plus Fanyang Fu cement plant, lime factory, brick and tile factory have moved to Wu'an City, Wu'an City, come and go, full of ox carts and horse-drawn carts for transporting coal and iron, plus the opening of the cement road from Wu'an to Yucheng and Qizhou, it is to accelerate the development of Wu'an City.
After entering the autumn, there are more merchants who come and go to deal in coal, iron, bricks and tiles, and after the autumn harvest, those idle laborers also continue to come to Wu'an City from various agricultural forts and seek an errand in various workshops.
Every day, on the streets of Wu'an City, there are workers in various mines or workshops, and all kinds of dust are flying in the streets and alleys, and there is also a feeling of gray in the sky above Wu'an City, and the cost of industrial development is reflected here.
But these are not what the people of Fanyang Mansion pay attention to, except for Liu Feng, they are more concerned about the current tax revenue of Wu'an City, which is already exceeding that of Yucheng, and the development speed of Wu'an City is not slower than that of Yucheng at all.
Every day, all the prefectures and counties of Pham Duong Province need a large amount of coal and iron, as well as cement bricks and tiles, etc., with the daily laying of the road, the excavation of the canal, the construction of the port, and the use of cement, it has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, which also causes the prosperity of Wu'an City.
In Wu'an City, there are more and more mining, metallurgy, cement, green brick and other processing workshops, and 60 percent of the craftsmen recruited from all over the country have come to Wu'an City to work.
In the Wu'an refinery, a large number of nails, hammers, knives, axes, farm tools and kitchen knives are also made every day, and in addition to this, the Wu'an refinery is also the largest military factory in Fanyang Prefecture.
Yucheng has become the light industry center of Fanyang Province, with various handmade product workshops, paper mills, printing mills, oil mills, sugar mills, etc., all on the ground.
Under the guidance of the agricultural teachers in Fanyang College, the agricultural camp has cultivated sugar beets for two years, and its sugar content is already very high.
In order to ensure the supply of vegetables in the army, as well as the supply of vegetables from the Sea Wolf Guard and the Sea Trade Group, Liu Feng also introduced greenhouses into the world in advance.
In fact, as for the cultivation of vegetables and fruits in greenhouses, it has existed since the Western Han Dynasty, when the rich people could enjoy the "hollyhock temperature", in order to make these vegetables grow normally in winter, a house was built, and a fire was lit in it day and night to raise the indoor temperature. From the Han and Tang dynasties, various greenhouse cultivation methods such as wind barriers, yang furrows, warm cellars, and hotbeds are still used in many places in later generations.
Liu Feng, who put his energy into the development of production, brought sufficient impetus to Fanyang Mansion, and the greenhouse was planted in combination with the experience of the ancestors, coupled with the method concept of Liu Feng's later generations, which was built in the early winter.
In addition to vegetables, many melons and fruits are also cultivated in the greenhouse, and even flowers that bloom only in summer are also bloomed in the greenhouse.
Liu Feng is a big deal, hundreds of acres of greenhouse planting area, although the early investment is large, but its report is also objective, even in the cold winter, the villagers and merchants around Yucheng can also eat fresh cabbage, spinach, celery, loofah and other fresh green vegetables.
In the blink of an eye, it is already early winter, and one-third of the canal excavation and repair project has been completed, and according to the progress of the project, it is expected that the project will be completed by the end of next year.
In the other provinces of the Northland, when it entered the winter farming slack, Fanyang Mansion was still busy, after a few frosts, the temperature dropped sharply, except for the greenhouse, you can still see green, and the eyes are full of desolation.
At this moment, Liu Feng, who was a little leisurely, was fiddling with melons and fruits with Wulan and Zhao Xuewei in the greenhouse outside Yucheng, Liu Feng was fiddling with watermelon seedlings by himself, while Wulan and Zhao Xuewei planted flowers in a corner of the greenhouse.
Liu Feng is a pragmatist, although he also likes to appreciate flowers and plants, but let him choose by himself, but he will definitely still plant some melons and fruits, which is reasonable.
Ulan has long left the original personality of dancing guns and sticks out of the clouds, at this moment, she is more like a lady in the Han nationality, although the female celebrity is still doing very poorly, but her interests and hobbies are more and more biased towards these aspects.
Zhao Xuewei also had an excited expression on her face, in the greenhouse, watching everywhere, the maids who followed the two of them, carrying baskets, picking ripe melons and fruits, and blooming flowers.
This is the first time that Zhao Xuewei has come to the greenhouse with Liu Feng and Ulan, and the joy in her heart has already been on her face, she and Ulan both know that in a few months, Liu Feng will be sixteen, which is the age when she can get married.
And Liu Feng at this time, he can only get closer to the two of them, as for the other women, Liu Feng is very well-behaved, which also makes them very favored and looking forward to it.
Although the wedding date has not yet been set, this is also in the planning for next year, and the two are carrying Liu Feng, who is busy, and quietly talking intimate words between girls.
Outside the greenhouse, the cold wind is gradually rising, inside the greenhouse, full of greenery and strong affection, Liu Feng doesn't know at the moment, how long can he enjoy such a day, and how long can he taste such a warm time.
