Chapter 907: Autumn Harvest

A general's reputation is good, and if there are people in the family who are doing business, the credit will be raised, and if the people in the family make mistakes, they will also be implicated.

Therefore, the system set up in Youzhou is very clever, one is prosperous and one is lost, and if you want to be a black sheep, you have to weigh whether you can bear the price.

Situ En told Wei Li his idea, and Wei Li also agreed to improve the pay of some soldiers, and let the soldiers take on the construction task to help keep it secret.

When the matter is settled, Wei Li will have the funds and materials needed sent over.

Zheng Derong found that before the merchants poured in, his local energy was enormous.

But it was only after the merchants came that he saw how rich these people were, and they kept spending money, as if they were not spending money.

How did he know that the purpose of these people was just to occupy favorable conditions first, considering that Youzhou would definitely include this area in Youzhou's sphere of influence in the future.

Taking advantage of the fact that the land does not belong to Youzhou, it is just right to occupy it first, and build houses to provide favorable evidence for their future competitiveness.

The places occupied by Youzhou have a very strict grasp of the authority of the land, and there is no private land, and the reason why they occupy it will be in exchange for double the benefits after Youzhou intervenes.

After all, it was the businessmen who first occupy, developed and operated, and the solution to this situation was to spend money to buy back the land.

There is not much loss for the merchant, and as for the future rent, it is not worth mentioning at all the value of the land sold.

Zheng Derong didn't know the purpose of the merchants, so he felt a lot of pressure to see them spend money like running water, if he knew that he might smash the pot and sell it, he would have to participate, but unfortunately he didn't know.

As for whether Youzhou will adopt the way that the businessmen think, it will actually be, and the businessmen's idea hit Li De's head, not because of guts, but because of this win-win situation.

The participation of businessmen in the construction of the city is beneficial to Youzhou in the future development, and the starting point of management from no foundation and from the city with a foundation is different, and the effect is different.

It is not true to say that the businessman took advantage, after all, the businessman spent a lot of money and materials, so why did the people of Youzhou want to take it for themselves when they came over.

In Li De's view, this kind of behavior is not allowed, and what the businessmen do is within the rules, and it does not involve harming the interests of Youzhou.

For Li De, things that can be solved with some money are not a thing.

The fishing village where the Zheng family is located does not have a name, and it is no longer possible to use the name of the Zheng family's fishing village in the past, because the Zheng family is no longer the richest people in the local area.

In addition, the fishing village is no longer what it used to be, and it can be said that it is now a town level that may exceed the level of a real city in the future, and the name is indispensable.

After Youzhou intervened, the matter of choosing a name was not a matter of the local yamen, anyway, they couldn't care about anything.

Zheng Derong decided to let the merchants name this place after consulting Weili, and at present, the Youzhou forces have not really occupied this side, so it is naturally difficult to participate in the naming of the city.

"President Wei, this place will be called Fucheng in the future."

"It's good for you to decide, the name Fucheng is very good."

"I'm here today to say goodbye, the dockyard project is going very smoothly, and the handover will be done directly in the future." Micro book bar

Wei Li stayed in Fucheng for nearly three months, and when he returned, it should be time for the autumn harvest.

The autumn harvest season is one of the most important things of the year, and being able to see the grain warehouse full is the confidence of their Youzhou.

Not only Youzhou is waiting for the autumn harvest, but so is Li Yuan in Chang'an.

It's just that if you compare, the gains of the two sides will be worlds apart.

Youzhou New Town is the first harvest, and most of the people here joined later, and they have to rely on farming to earn income after a year of hard work.

The land they cultivated was not only the land allocated by the family, but also the public land that they applied for cultivation, and they were paid money according to the people who worked, and there was also a way of settlement, which was to contract additional land, and 20% of the total harvest would be their income.

If the contractor will get more benefits if the fertile land increases production, many newcomers choose to settle in money for insurance, and those who dare to take risks choose the second settlement method.

How the harvest determines how much extra they can get.

Twenty percent of the additional income does not include expenses, and the fertilizer for the public land is from the city guard.

After Wei Li came back from Fucheng, it was just in time for the autumn harvest, and there was a lot of land on the outskirts of Youzhou, so in order to ensure that the harvest could be completed smoothly, the city guard government specially dispatched vanguard soldiers to help.

The dispatch of vanguards is not unremitting, but the main thing is to create a "family" relationship.

At a critical time, brush up the prestige of the vanguards, so that the people's impression of the vanguards deepens everything, they are not just weapons used for battle, they are all warriors from the people.

The whole people in Youzhou City were mobilized, and when the land contracted by merchants was harvested, they directly hired workers to help harvest it.

The department in charge of agriculture in the castle guard also sent people to start harvesting the new crops in the experimental fields, and then organized people to buy more plants from the merchants who bought the new crops.

Li De's method of promoting new crops is to focus on stockpiling seeds and then planting them through merchants, some of which will be purchased and the rest of the merchants will continue to be used as seeds.

After waiting for the merchants to have enough seeds in their hands, they could take out the new crops and distribute them to other merchants for planting.

When the yield of the new crop reaches a certain amount, it will be sold only after it can be retained and cultivated.

The process of promotion is very difficult, especially for businessmen, how much can they make by selling seeds, but with Youzhou as their backing, it takes them a few years to win over the relationship.

The seeds of the new crop obtained from Europe have only just started to be planted, and the reserves are certainly not as good as the previous ones, but the yields of some crops are really amazing.

Especially potatoes, the yield of chemical fertilizer planting is several times higher than that of each acre.

The businessmen's attempts convinced them that their investment had been successful, and several companies had already begun to cultivate these new crops, which would be several times the size of the land currently planted.

The businessmen who want to be big producers have all put new crops in the new urban area, and there is still a lot of land waiting to be cultivated here, and they are very excited about the future.

The end of the potatoes did not surprise Li De, who let him know that this would be the case, it is still a little early to put these crops on the market, and it is completely impossible to meet the needs of the people of Youzhou City.
