Chapter 225: The Reclamation Movement

(It's not well written, the grades are too bad, cheekily ask for a subscription, thank you!) )

Zhao Yuan is actually a little grateful to God, although she resents her for bringing herself from the colorful era to this troubled world, but she has come to this relatively stable Houshu. Especially I don't know if I died suddenly at that time, but now I can live here, all of which is earned.

The land of the Central Plains was in chaos, and the Later Tang, Later Jin, Later Han, Later Zhou, and the soon-to-be-established Great Song Dynasty continued to change regimes, and the Khitan barbarians in the north invaded from time to time, and the lives were devastated.

However, although there are occasional frictions with other places, although there are occasional frictions with other places, there are very few wars, almost nothing.

This allowed Zhao Yuan to be in the remote Houshu, in the remote small county of Houshu, Danling, to be able to slowly develop from a cloth cloth to the current point, thinking about it, I have to say that it is a kind of luck with a wry smile.

Half a month has passed since the night talk with Zhang Xucong, Wan Yunjun and others, and the role of the cement workshop's implementation of the salary system has appeared, and the output has been further improved.

The location of the new cement workshop has been chosen, and "skilled workers" have been sent from the side of Shiraishi Mountain to guide the construction of the new workshop.

In the iron mine, several earth-made iron-making furnaces have been put into operation, using the iron-making process and formula provided by Zhao Yuan, the newly produced iron, for future generations, has caught up with the quality of some very inferior steel, a piece of agricultural tools, a piece of weapons, is constantly being produced from this earth-iron workshop.

After the slag is processed, it is continuously transported to the cement workshop as a raw material for the production of cement.

In Danling County, only the seven towns of Hechang, Yangchang, Gray Yuan, Shiqiao, Zhonglong, Shunlong, and Shuangqiao have demarcated more than 21,000 acres of wasteland, and the corresponding land deeds have also been done with the help of Zhang Xucong and others, and the money spent is so small that Zhao Yuan feels embarrassed.

"Owner, the wasteland has been bought, is it time to start clearing the wasteland?" Tao Pu carefully handed the map that had not left him for more than half a month to Zhao Yuan and asked.

"Tomorrow will start to open up the wasteland, Uncle Tao, thank you for your hard work, but we can't let you rest for the time being, let's discuss how to open up these lands as soon as possible." Zhao Yuan looked at Tao Pu, whose face was full of weather, and said.

"It's not hard, owner, when our family fled, that was the real hardship." Tao Pu said with a smile.

Tao Pu went out to find land, most of the time he still ran in the barren mountains and mountains, saying that it was not hard, it was a lie, but with the protection of the elite team of the workshop army, there was no need to worry about safety, and he felt a little happy to see pieces of wasteland being found.

Land, a lot of land, means a lot of food later, don't worry about going hungry.

"Okay, Xiaoying, Luoluo, let's see how much land our family will have in the future." Zhao Yuan laughed and said to Meng Ying and Luoluo on the side, the yin in his heart has dissipated a lot in the past half a month.

No matter what happens to him in the outside world, he will do the things around him well first, with such an elite workshop army, even if he encounters difficulties, Zhao Yuan believes that there should be no problem in protecting his own safety, and it is a big deal to move to other places when the time comes.

"Uncle, how much land is this?" Luoluo saw Zhao Yuan's smiling face and laughed along.

"Many, many lands, many times bigger than where we go down the dam." Zhao Yuan teased the little girl and said.

"Brother Yuan, can we plant so much land?" Meng Ying asked with a smile.

"You can plant it, since you have bought so much land, you will definitely be able to grow it, and in the future, Xiaoying, you can be a landlord with peace of mind." Zhao Yuan said jokingly.

"Owner, these lands are far away from each other, I'm afraid I can't manage them." Tao Pu said.

"Let's discuss this again, Uncle Tao, I will find someone to manage every piece of land, you just need to take care of the person who manages the land, and often go around, there will be many changes in our farming methods, which you have to implement." Zhao Yuan said with a smile.

"Where are the owners going to find these people who manage the land?" Tao Pu asked.

"Recruitment, from the entire Danling towns to start recruiting, in addition to recruiting some short-term workers to help open up the wasteland, but also to recruit long-term workers who can manage these land, buying land saves a lot of money, I want to let the bought wasteland, reclaimed as quickly as possible." Zhao Yuan said firmly.

"Brother Yuan, is it the same as when we reclaimed the lower river dam here, it would cost too much money." Meng Ying prompted.

"Madam, this problem, the owner told me, this time the wasteland, the wages will not be so much, now is the time of the green and yellow, there are many people who can't eat, as long as a small amount of wages, it will definitely attract a lot of people, when I went to see the land, some villages are really miserable, many people can't eat a full meal." Tao Pu said with a sigh.

……

In Danling County, in every town market where Zhao Yuan bought wasteland, there was suddenly an additional recruitment point, which was set up by Zhao Yuan to find people to open up wasteland.

Not only that, but these recruitment points are also doing a strange thing, that is, they are also buying dead branches and rotten leaves that can be seen everywhere on the mountain, as long as they go to the mountain to dig a full load of these blackened rotten leaves, and pick them to the designated wasteland, they can exchange them for two copper coins.

At this moment, the seven towns with the wasteland that Zhao Yuan bought were boiling all of a sudden.

"This is the workshop army of Gray Plains to recruit people to work, let's go quickly, I'm afraid we won't be able to recruit if it's too late."

"It won't be a labor service, didn't you just send it a year ago, why do you have to come again?"

"What do you say, people write clearly, spend money to recruit people, and those who are strong and strong can come, take care of food, and eighty iron coins a day."

"The Workshop Army, is that Gray Plains' Workshop Army?"

"Are there any other workshop troops, if other people recruit people to work, I don't believe it when they say they will be paid, but the workshop army recruits people, I believe it ten thousand, go and sign up."

"Big brother, what are they doing with these rotten leaves, go and ask?"

"Stupid, these are not rotten leaves, these are all money, I don't know if they are stupid, things that can be seen everywhere, and they spend money to buy them, this load is two copper coins, as long as you make a little effort, you won't sell a hundred and eighty taels a day......"

……

In addition to the people who stayed behind to guard the workshop and the people who followed the escort transport team, the others escorted the corresponding sophisticated agricultural tools according to the area of the wasteland, and began to rush to various wastelands, and the wasteland opening movement was officially launched on more than 21,000 acres of wasteland in these seven towns.

Clearing trees and weeds, deep ploughing of the soil, burying humus soil to improve soil quality, building water storage pits, building temporary shelters, wasteland everywhere, and hot labor scenes have dispelled the cold weather in the first month.

"Master, I can't find anyone to plant the land, and those tenant farmers have gone to help people clear the wasteland?"

"Wait, that's the Workshop Army, I can't afford to mess with your master!"
