"This is not surprising, because this cannot be eaten as a staple food, and it seems that there are still a very small number of people who can't eat it.

And don't look at the high yield, because to make seeds, you have to get hundreds of catties per acre of land, so these 3,000 catties are to be discounted. Zou Yu introduced.

"Even then, it's scary enough." Bai Suhua nodded.

"This thing prefers humid places, and it has high requirements for soil fertilizer, so it can only be planted in rotation! It is not as good as yam, so it is okay for ordinary people to plant a little, and it is not recommended to plant too much. Zou Yu recalled, shook his head and said.

"That's right, but with such a high yield and harsh planting conditions, it's acceptable! Is that yam also so high? Bai Suhua asked.

Because Zou Yu is the most attentive to these two, the others will give you the most guidance and let people do it. And the yam and konjac are staring at the whole process, not relaxing at all.

"Yams are drought-tolerant, there is not much demand for land, and the yield should be more than 1,000 catties! The key is that the yam is easy to eat, it can be eaten after peeling and cooking, and it has a sweet taste and is easy to be full. Zou Yu introduced.

In fact, Zou Yu didn't know much about the yield of these two kinds, he just reduced a part of it according to what he had seen before, after all, chemical fertilizers were applied in later generations.

If the fertility keeps up, the yield of yam in later generations will be more than 2,000 or 3,000 catties, and the yield of konjac per mu will be about 5,000 catties.

"Wow! More than a thousand pounds! The two women exclaimed again. The maids and guards who were helping on the side trembled with excitement when they heard their conversation.

"Husband! You are truly a saint reincarnated! After these two things are promoted, there will be no one in the world who will starve to death! Bai Suhua looked up at Zou Yu, like a fan girl, flashing with admiration, her chest rose and fell violently, obviously very excited in her heart.

"The reincarnation of the prince saint! Ten thousand Buddhas! One of the guards knelt down and shouted excitedly.

"The reincarnation of the prince saint! Ten thousand Buddhas! All the guards, the maids, knelt down willingly and cheered.

"Get up!" Understand that they are thanking themselves from the perspective of ordinary people. Zou Yu felt a burst of satisfaction in his heart, and once again secretly resolved that he must let the people live a better life and no longer suffer from hunger and cold.

In the spring ploughing season, Zou Yu is very busy, outside to lead the people to sow seeds, the three plots of land at home, there is no waste, sowing many times, looking forward to taking root and sprouting!

Life in various places is tending to be stable, including the Xue Yantuo tribe, except for some prisoners transferred from the mining area, the others Zou Yu did not treat them harshly, and still established pastures in the form of Liaodong pastures.

Compared with the people of the Central Plains, the nomads are lazier, which can be seen from the Khitan and Xi people, who have a kind of free and loose emotions in their bones, which may be from the broad grassland, bringing them unrestrained minds.

Zou Yu planned to correct them from the beginning, and since they moved here, they have not stopped working, repairing houses, living for themselves and livestock. Open up wasteland and enclose pastures.

It was busy until the beginning of spring, except for snowy days, it never stopped. Originally, Xue Yantuo still had resentment in his heart. But when they live in the new house, when they roast the fire kang, they have been moved to tears, with the fire kang, they are no longer afraid of freezing to death in winter, not to mention the livestock, the Yanmen Pass is warmer than the outside of the gate, living in a specially built circle, naturally there is no need to worry, overnight, all the animals are frozen to death.

In the winter outside the gates, sometimes there is a time when people and animals are worried about freezing to death, and people and animals sleep together, every year.

"If you want to change someone, you first have to change their habits." Zou Yu didn't know where he had heard this, he thought it was true, so he took advantage of the time when Xue Yantuo was most afraid now, and carried out physical squeezing.

It's not that they have to do much hard work, but they have to work every day, but it's for themselves, so they don't have the intention of resisting.

After the houses were repaired, the land was reclaimed in Mayi City and Taiyuan City, and barley, barley, and wheat were planted. Under the guidance of the people of the Central Plains, intensive cultivation was carried out in accordance with the orders of the government, and for the first time they knew that farming was such a troublesome and delicate matter.

However, looking at the green earth, the sense of accomplishment still lingers, and Zou Yu believes that as long as he waits for the autumn harvest, no one will object to such cultivation in the future.

In May, after the rice was planted, the people were not so in a hurry, and the rest of the time was more about taking care of the fields. But then another job came out.

Every summer, it is necessary to gather wool, so as not to be too hot for the sheep, this year after spring ploughing, it is also a statistic on the population, although the area under the rule of Zou Yu is very wide, but the population is only more than 1.3 million Han people.

There were 160,000 Khitan, 120,000 Xi, 80,000, 120,000 Xueyantuo, and 330,000 Goguryeo. More than 2.1 million people in total.

With a population of just over 2 million in such a wide area, you can imagine how sparsely populated it is. Of course, there were more than 40,000 prisoners in the Liaodong mining area, and as for the Liaoxi mining area, there were only more than 10,000 people, including prisoners of war from Murowei, Jinya, Goguryeo, Xue Yantuo, Hui, Turks, etc., as well as landlord officials who raided their homes.

The key is that the population is small, not to mention, women still account for the majority, which is one of the reasons why Zou Yu strongly urges centralized farming.

If you are free, you naturally need to find some work for the people, and Yanmen County is wool purchase and processing, wool clothing production. Now there are people in the Central Plains, of course, it will not be as rough as before.

Wool, like silk, is first made into thread and then woven into cloth, which is of course different from ordinary cloth, except that it is arranged in large patches like that, and then made into clothes. This is difficult for women with skillful hands.

In the past, almost all of the leather was made into clothes, shoes, hats. Now it is more about making gloves and shoes worn by soldiers; And then there's making furniture, making all kinds of bags, and who makes the bags made of leather better sealed, especially when it comes to flour and so on.

The people are all for three meals a day, and at present, Zou Yu basically doesn't need business, what he wants to learn is to be a great man in the future, self-sufficient. Of course, this is not to close the country, but to try to rule and support yourself. As for external sales, it will certainly not be people's biological resources, on the contrary, the gold and silver obtained, or some of the goods produced, are all to buy other people's grain, cloth and other materials as much as possible.

Anshan Fushun side, mainly based on the military industry, making weapons, while Liaoxi side, is mainly based on people's livelihood, originally the new mining area output is not much, so all in the production of farm tools.
