When the Yellow River arrives at the Huyin Ferry, the water surface becomes open and the water becomes gentle, which is a good place to cross the river.

Here, there is also a hill that rises abruptly and becomes a natural military fortress.

Climb this hill and see it at a glance for dozens of miles around the ferry.

On the west side of the Yellow River, you can see a lot of cattle and sheep, as well as herdsmen riding horses and running around the sheep, while there is a faint sound of dogs barking.

The sparsely standing dome-like haystacks are actually silage towers.

On this side of the Yellow River, a large number of ploughing oxen pulling eight oxen ploughs are ploughing the ground.

There is a ditch under the front of the mountain, which is the ferry avenue.

At the end of the ferry avenue, a wide pontoon bridge made of pontoons spans the east and west banks.

On either side of it, there are two small pontoon bridges made up of sheepskin rafts as auxiliary bridges.

"Brother-in-law, you see, Xu Erniang's plan is not to make a big move on the west bank of the big river for the time being, you can sprinkle some alfalfa seeds first and make a semi-captive pasture."

"The first thing we need to reclaim is this large area of ...... on the east coast."

The little lady of the Zhang family had a small face and introduced Feng Junhou seriously.

As soon as Feng Junhou saw her little face, he knew that she was sulking.

waved at the moment, and shouted to the guard: "Bring an oil umbrella here, I don't have a look!" ”

Far away, the guards hurriedly climbed up, handed Feng Junhou an umbrella, and then quickly disappeared into the mountainside.

Feng Junhou opened the umbrella and raised it to the top of Zhang Xiaosi's head, and then said with concern: "Siniang, I see that your face is sweating, come, I'll wipe it for you." ”

knew that this guy had bad intentions, but the little lady of the Zhang family couldn't hold it anymore, she gritted her teeth, kicked him a few times, and scolded angrily:

"Dead without conscience! Dead without conscience! ”

Feng Ghost King is tall and sturdy, Zhang Xiaosi's fists and feet are not as powerful as General Guan's, and he is not ruthless in kicking people.

Feng Ghost King grinned, "Oops" twice, it was regarded as giving Zhang Xiaosi a face.

The two were flirting, and the guards led people to the mountain.

"I've seen the prince, I've seen Mrs. Zhang."

The two of them, Xu Jia Erniang and Li Tong, bowed their heads and saluted together.

Feng Yong nodded, and said with a serious face:

"From. Li Xu, I didn't mean anything else when I called you over this time, I just wanted to ask about the reclamation situation on the east coast. ”

As he spoke, he pointed to the bottom of the mountain, "From here to Zuli, how much wasteland can be opened, have you counted?" ”

Xu Erniang was wearing a narrow shirt with tight sleeves from Nanxiang, from shoes to trouser legs, and some mud dots, she looked like a real worker.

I saw her brush her sideburns, as if to sort out her thoughts, and then slowly spoke:

"Dare to ask the prince, does the package not include the west side of the river?"

When Feng Yong heard this, he looked at the west bank of the Yellow River again, "Since the west side of the river is temporarily immovable, it is naturally not counted in it." ”

Xu Erniang nodded: "If it is not included, from the ferry to Zuli County, about 300,000 acres of fertile land can be opened." ”

"300,000 acres of fertile land? Are you sure? Not Nakata? ”

This figure was slightly beyond Feng Yong's expectations.

Xu Erniang nodded and affirmed: "Back to the prince, it is indeed a good field." Of the 300,000 acres, more than 70,000 acres were planted in the early years, so they can be directly cultivated this year. ”

"There are more than 100,000 acres, you need to plant beans first, and then plant grain in the second year, and finally 100,000 acres, you need to plant alfalfa fertilizer land first, so that the raw land becomes mature land, and then plant beans for another year, and finally you can plant grain."

"But as long as you can grow food, you can eventually become fertile land, and concubines can guarantee this."

What Xu Erniang said is the basic process of Xinghan Society's land reclamation.

And this set of processes should be counted from the reclamation of Hanzhong that year, and Feng Yong became the captain of the agricultural school in Hanzhong.

Fengjiazhuang had a bumper harvest of grain, and there was a lot of grain per mu more than others, coupled with the introduction of Quyuan plough and Baniu plow, Feng Langjun could be regarded as a farming expert at that time.

In a half-cooked field, planting beans first and then grain the next year can make the grain grow better.

When they went to the homes of the people who were reclaimed in Hanzhong, many people tried it with half a doubt, and then they gave a thumbs up the next year, thinking that Feng Langjun was a good person.

That's when this trend arose.

Then, two years later, during the Southern Expedition, the Xinghan Society was established, and with the relationship between the second generation of the Huili Quan and the novelty of wool, Feng Huishou almost monopolized the beans in the territory of the Han Dynasty.

In particular, the beans were looted by the Xinghan Society, and then transported to Nanzhong to support the Southern Expeditionary Army.

That is, taking the opportunity of the southern expedition, Xinghan will suddenly gain a firm foothold.

After this wave of operations, not to mention outsiders, even within the Xinghan Society, they all felt that Feng Huishou was simply far-sighted.

Some people secretly laughed at him for selflessly revealing this cultivation skill, but they didn't know that they had already planned it.

But in any case, if you plant some legumes on newly opened wasteland, or when the fields are rotated, and then sprinkle some house fertilizer when you plough the next year, you can always harvest a few more buckets of grain, and that's a good thing.

As a result, this method of cultivation became a popular practice for Dahan farming.

As for growing alfalfa, that's even less to say.

When the bald Khotan broke into the trading ground of Fu County, if he hadn't brought alfalfa seeds with him, how could he have been so easy to get Feng Langjun's sincere friendship?

If you want to store greens, you must have enough forage, and if you want to have enough forage, alfalfa is a must-have.

At the same time, alfalfa also has the ability to improve soil fertility.

The royal family can now lie down and eat dividends, and at the beginning, it is necessary to start from the queen's unique vision and incomparably generous loan of tens of thousands of acres of Huangzhuang belonging to Hanzhongye to Feng Langjun to grow forage.

This favor is not small for Feng Langjun, who started his business.

Again, whether it is the former Xinghan Association or the current School Governor's Mansion, all the powerful expansions are based on sufficient supply.

Whether it's for people or livestock.

People are to eat grain, and livestock are to eat forage and legumes.

Because where the pasture goes, the pasture will be opened, and the pasture will be planted and the alfalfa will be planted, which is the most basic.

Feng Huishou has not returned to Jincheng for so many years, but the brothers in the club, as long as Feng Huishou in front of him wants to support him, even if they sell their underwear.

Over the years, it is not that no one has thought of hooking up with the core figures in the Xinghan Society, but without exception they have all failed.

Not only because of King Feng's current status, power, etc., and the benefits it can bring to them, etc., but also the awe in their hearts is also an important aspect.

After all, anyone who looks back afterwards will feel a chill in their hearts.

After being in the bureau for so many years without knowing it, it was only after the fact that I suddenly discovered that there were a lot of things that my brother had unconsciously arranged from the beginning.

So jumping against my brother really requires the courage to see death as home.

After all, it is too difficult to go against a coward who is good at digging pits at least a few years in advance, for those young men in their twenties in the Xinghan Society.

Of course, what others think, Feng Junhou doesn't know, he has his own ideas:

"For these 300,000 mu, just take 100,000 mu to grow grain, and the remaining 200,000 mu will be planted with beans first."

As he spoke, Feng Junhou looked at Zhang Xingyi again, "After I go back, Siniang will prepare an official document and set up rules." ”

Zhang Xingyi nodded, indicating that he understood.

100,000 acres of fertile land sounds like a lot, but roughly calculated, it can only feed a thousand families all year round, and at the same time have some surplus, engage in some side jobs and so on.

The school governor's mansion has a lot of autonomy, so it doesn't need much arable land, which is what the prime minister of the Han Dynasty said.

Feng Junhou said that this logic ...... It was perfect, he raised his hands in approval.

Besides, by this time next year, there will be at least 16,000 more mules that can be used for service, and with the addition of war horses, the demand for beans will further expand.

So this needs to be prepared in advance.

"There is also this piece on the west bank of the big river, so let's temporarily turn it into a pasture, and forget about the cultivated land."

Feng Yong turned around and looked to the west, the slightly undulating north of the wasteland, and he didn't know if it was his own illusion, as if he could faintly see the Great Wall.

Although Longyou at this time is still rich in water and grass, but after crossing the Yellow River, the more west, the naked eye can already detect the changes in water and soil.

When the food supply is sufficient, it is better to keep that wasteland as a pasture than to develop it as a cultivated land, even if it leaves some environment for future generations to toss.

Xu Erniang glanced at Feng Yong with a little surprise, as if she didn't understand why Feng Junhou wanted to restrict farming, but the livestock under the school governor's mansion was extremely large, and beans were almost as important as grain.

Besides, there is always grain coming from the rear, so it is not incomprehensible to grow beans.

So she answered, "No." ”

Feng Yong finished speaking and glanced at Zhang Xingyi.

Zhang Xingyi understood, and then asked:

"Li Langjun, how is the scale of bees this year compared to last year?"

In just two years, the application of manual printing has been popularized within the Xinghan Club at a very fast speed.

Just the test papers of a few schools, the tabloids in the army, and the various government decrees of the school captain's mansion and Yueshan County made beeswax extremely tight.

It is foreseeable that with Feng Yong's appointment as the assassin of Liangzhou, the demand for beeswax will skyrocket.

After all, who is used to hand-printing, who wants to copy by hand?

Not to mention that it is easy to make mistakes and omissions, the most important thing is that it is not efficient.

Before Amei got the handmade mimeograph machine, it was transmitted from the school governor's mansion to the county, then from the county to the township, and finally from the township to the pavilion, and then to the inside, all of which had to be copied one by one.

If there is a mistake or omission in the county, then it is not impossible for the pavilion and the interior at the bottom to become the opposite policy.

Manual printing, as long as you copy one copy, you can directly print hundreds of copies.

War is fought not only on national strength and resources, but also on mobilization efficiency, organizational ability, and so on.

Feng Guiwang beat Cao Da Sima, in addition to relying on surprise, advanced troops, etc., the officers and men of the Captain's Mansion withstood the huge pressure in the early stage with their strong organizational ability, which was also an extremely important factor.

Therefore, beeswax can also be regarded as a war material.

If there is a major festival or a major dinner in the school governor's mansion, a few candles will be picked and lit.

I usually light an oil lamp.

The Feng family is not rich!

Even the little lady of the Zhang family, who used to be able to show off her wealth with candles made of beeswax, now has to light tung oil lamps.

The quality of life has declined, and the little lady of the Zhang family must not be satisfied, so she has to work hard to increase the scale of beekeeping.

Li Tong didn't know if he felt that the sun was too big, so he wiped the sweat on his forehead:

"Back to Mrs. Zhang, although it is said that some bee colonies have been newly expanded this year, but a month ago, the bees were infestation, so ......"

When Zhang Xingyi heard this, his little face sank.

Guy who doesn't fight!

Don't give me a long face at all!

Unpromising!

……

However, Feng Junhou knows that this breeding is so risky that ordinary people can afford it, even if it is an ordinary wealthy family, it can only be free-range.

At the moment, he hurriedly made a round, "Natural disasters and insect disasters are beyond human prediction, and you can't be blamed entirely on this matter, but you must be careful in the future and pay attention to the surroundings of the beehive." ”

Li Tong hurriedly responded: "Yes, yes, the villain understands that after the villain goes back, he will personally arrange it and take the lead in inspecting all the beehives." ”

Today's Li Langjun has a happy family, a happy life, and some small power in his hands, so he can be regarded as a decent person.

Not to mention all the things he has experienced before, he cherishes the small days now, how dare he have a little sting?

Zhang Xingyi snorted, but it was not good to say anything.

Feng Yong asked some more about the breeding under the school governor's mansion, and after understanding the situation, he gave another order, and then let Li Tong and his wife go down.

"Okay, this Li Tong has done a good job, there is no need to be so angry."

Feng Junhou saw that Zhang Xiaoniang was still displeased, so he spoke.

At least in terms of meat supply, there is no shortage of the school captain's office, and Li Tong can also be regarded as meritorious.

"What's good, I can't even light a candle at night, is that good?"

The little lady of the Zhang family said unreasonably.

"Let's be reasonable, who doesn't know that at least half of the honey of the Han family is in the hands of the little lady of the Zhang family?"

Feng Junhou avoided beeswax and didn't talk about it, and came to a trick to avoid the real and the false:

"This honey is more expensive than brown sugar. Just the supply of honey makes you wonder how many people owe you a favor. ”

"Not to mention the entry of honey, how many big men have more net worth than you? Still not satisfied? ”

This rainbow fart was fragrant, and Zhang Xiaoniang's face finally had a smug look, "That's what I earned by myself!" ”

Then he squinted at Feng Junhou again, "There are indeed not many people who are worth more than me, but which one of the few people around me is not more than me?" ”

Feng Junhou coughed, straightened his face and said, "Nonsense! At most, there is only one who can compare to you! ”

It's good that Feng Junhou didn't say this, but as soon as he said this, Zhang Xingyi was furious, and saw her gritting her teeth:

"What am I comparing myself to others? I'm just going to compare with her! ”

"Siniang, forget it, let's not compare, we can't compare......"

"No way!" Zhang Xingyi glared at Feng Junhou angrily, "No cowards!" If you don't help me, I'll figure it out myself, and one day, I will definitely surpass her! ”

Feng Junhou pretended not to hear.

Several women in the Feng family have their own spheres of influence.

Li Mu controls the economic lifeline of Nanxiang, and at least half of the cash flow of the Feng Mansion is provided by her.

Although Amei seems to be extremely low-key, she is addicted to all kinds of knowledge, and she has an extremely important influence on all aspects of the school captain's mansion.

At the same time, she is also responsible for training the engineers needed by the Hanyang Manufacturing Bureau, and if the Hanyang Manufacturing Bureau is really going to take shape in the future, then she will be the actual founding ancestor.

As for the Feng family's main wife, that's not to mention.

Because the goal of the little lady of the Zhang family has always been only about the general.

It's just that General Guan Da is in control of the Feng Mansion, and Zhang Xiaoniang wants to compare with General Guan Da, that is, with the entire Feng Mansion......

Feng Junhou was very supportive of her courage, but he was not optimistic about her struggle.

Alas, the hope is too slim......

"Siniang, it's too hot, let's go down first, I'll accompany you to the river to see how the scenery is?"

Feng Junhou coaxed, "Or I'll cook tonight and cook you a dish." ”

"I want to eat tofu!"

It is estimated that the little lady of the Zhang family felt something about beans just now, so she put forward such a request.

"No problem, what kind of tofu do you want to eat? Mapo tofu or homemade tofu? ”

"What do you say?"
