Ge Tiedan waited with strong curiosity until May, when the snow and ice gradually melted, the young branches spit out new green, and the earth began to thaw.

At this time, the time for planting is also up. One day in mid-May, the chiefs of the settlements sent a notice to the laborers of each household that they would go to the fields at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning to loosen the soil and prepare for spring ploughing.

The new citizens of the settlements had been building up their strength for months, and their hands were already itching.

The lieutenant said that he would start working at eight o'clock in the morning, but in fact, the new citizens like Ge Tiedan, who could cultivate their own land, were so excited that they could not sleep at all, and before dawn, they led the ploughing oxen early and gathered in front of the lieutenant's tent, waiting for the lieutenant to take them to work in the field.

It is said that the chief of the place slept until half past seven, and then got up, but when he walked out of the tent, he found that everyone was looking at him with a look of hope, so he rubbed his sleepy eyes, and said with a smile: "Look at you in a hurry, come on, give me fifteen minutes, and I'll go with you immediately, hey, you, exactly like me back then, happy." ”

The mayor was not embarrassed to keep the citizens waiting, so he hastily washed up for a while, and led the group straight to his field.

Northern Shaanxi is mountainous, and there is very little flat land, and when Liu Renyu was building a canal, of course, it was impossible to build the canal to the mountain, so if the land was divided into the mountains, they could only work hard and carry water to the mountains for irrigation.

As for the relatively flat land, it was given priority to the families who joined the army, for example, Ge Tiedan's family was allocated ten acres of land near the canal.

Ge Tiedan and his father, like other neighbors, led the ploughing oxen to their fields early this morning to prepare for spring ploughing.

At this time, because the number of cultivated cattle in Jingbian Fort is not very large, so it is still a family in the same family to share a ploughing cow, the rules of Jingbian Fort, when several families share ploughing cattle, there are people in the family who are soldiers have the priority to use the ploughing cattle.

Ge Tiedan's family has a soldier, naturally has the right of priority, there are five families in this settlement who are also soldiers, and other families are soldiers, but those five families are not cavalry, they consider that the general of the cavalry is Liu Renjie, that is Liu Renyu's younger brother, the identity is naturally different, and the cavalry will be higher by a level, so the cattle will be used first by Ge Tiedan's family, and other families have no cattle to use, and they cannot plough the land for the time being, so they will plant trees and afforestation in accordance with the consistent rules of Jingbian Fort.

This forest can be used as a field to protect one's crops from wind and sand, and these trees can also be used as firewood, which can be said to be very versatile.

Ge Tiedan saw that other families could only wait for their own family to use the ploughing cattle first, but he didn't think about anything like superiority, he said to his father: "Dad, mother, everyone is waiting for us, but we can't let them wait for a long time, let's start plowing the fields." ”

"That's right, let's get started." Uncle Ge felt that what his son said was very reasonable, so the family of three worked together to put farming tools on the cow, and then Ge Tiedan went to lead the cow away, Ge Tiedan held the plow and controlled the direction.

The ground under their feet had been barren for a long time, and the compaction was quite severe, and it took a lot of effort to loosen the soil.

Ten acres of land, even with the help of ploughing oxen, will take at least three days to plough.

Ge Tiedan didn't want everyone to wait for a long time, so after work at night, he let the ploughing cattle rest, and he himself took his old mother and old father together, carrying a hoe and a lamp to fight at night, and worked until twelve o'clock in the middle of the night before going back to rest, and at six o'clock the next day, Ge Tiedan took his father and mother to struggle in the field. It was not until eight o'clock in the morning that they used the ploughing oxen to plow the land.

The family worked so hard to plough the fields that they were stunned to finish plowing the fields that took three days to plough in two days, and when they had finished plowing the fields, they immediately handed over the ploughing cattle to other people for use.

After this field is ploughed, the next step is to plant wheat seedlings, and at this time, Ge Tiedan really wants to see if the agricultural research in Jingbian Fort has the ability to defy the sky, and can directly provide wheat seedlings that have grown for more than a month.

Of course, because the government had to ensure that the people in this settlement had finished cultivating the land before they could deliver the wheat seedlings at one time, Ge Tiedan's family had to wait first.

While waiting, Ge Tiedan thought that he had nothing to do anyway, so he carried a hoe to help his neighbors plough the land whose fields were divided into mountains.

The land allocated by Ge Tiedan's family is one of the best in the entire settlement, and he simply feels that he has gained such a big benefit, but he must keep a low profile and be kind to others, so he will take a hoe to help others plow the land.

Of course, this kind of behavior will win the favor of others, and the other people will think that Ge Tiedan is so high-spirited, and they feel that if they don't take some action, it doesn't seem to be very appropriate, so everyone works together, and the people who don't plow the fields help the people who plow the fields.

Everyone worked together, and their strength broke gold.

It only took ten days to loosen hundreds of acres of land, and everyone waited for the government to send the wheat seedlings.

Seeing that the people were itching, the lieutenants rode their horses to Jingbian Fort and applied for wheat seedlings from Ma Tianjun. Ma Tianjun immediately instructed the Agricultural Research Institute to allocate wheat seedlings, and the government was responsible for providing horse-drawn carriages for hauling.

The wooden partitions filled with wheat seedlings were carried onto horse-drawn wagons and transported all the way south to the settlement where Ge Tie Dan was located.

When the wheat seedlings were transported to the settlement, Ge Tie Dan was completely dumbfounded.

"It turns out that what the chief and the veteran said is true, there is really such a strange thing, these wheat seedlings have really grown for more than a month, in this way, these wheat seedlings can mature in August, we have a canal here, not afraid of the drought, we have the support of the army, not afraid of military disasters, this year I am only afraid of a bumper harvest, good days are coming, good days are coming."

This is the cry of Ge Tiedan's heart, and it is also the monologue in the hearts of other people.

They didn't have the time or brain capacity to guess what kind of trick the people at the Agricultural Research Institute had used to grow wheat seedlings in the cold.

They just need to think about planting the wheat seedlings, planting them in the fields, neatly and neatly, as far as the eye can see, that is the green of the harvest, that is the green of hope, and the new life begins when these wheat seedlings are planted.

It can be said that since Mai Miao got off the ground, Ge Tiedan has found the direction of struggle and the goal of attention, twenty-four hours a day, except for twelve hours when it is dark, and three hours of military training, he is squatting in the field.

Watering, fertilizing, weeding, and carefully caring for every wheat seedling, for fear that they would have a disaster or a disease. He is like this, and the other people are also like this, and no matter how hard they work with their own land, they don't feel that it is enough.

This year, as usual, God still didn't open his eyes, since there was a burst of rain in April, until July, not a drop of rain fell, and the weather was extremely dry.

If it is in other parts of Shaanxi, the wheat seedlings planted are only afraid that they will dry up and die, but Jingbian Fort is different, there are canals, and even if there are no canals, there are dense deep wells, and watering and irrigation are not a problem.

Ge Tiedan sometimes couldn't help but look at the sun shining with a hoe, and laughed mockingly: "Thief God, you want to harm us, but we have a handsome, he wants to save us, what can you do to us?" ”

The wheat seedlings in the wheat field have grown vigorously all the way, and Ge Tiedan and other new citizens are all overjoyed, and something that surprises them even more has come.

The main project of Liujiabao, which has been under construction for two years, has been completed, and the reinforced concrete frames of all the houses have been completed, and the rest is only to lay bricks for the houses, which means that the products of the cement manufacturing institute and the steel manufacturing institute can already be inclined to the residential aspect.

Liu Renyu immediately gave an order to the government, asking them to send engineering teams to various settlements to build new villages and towns, and the residential area where Ge Tiedan was located was the first to start the construction of the project because it was relatively close to Jingbian Fort and was separated by ten miles of roads.

The house is naturally extremely important to people, and everyone is overjoyed when they hear that the construction team is coming to build a house for themselves.

It seems that Ge Tiedan, who has some floating wealth in the family, bought some things, and planned to treat the people of the construction team, but the construction team didn't dare to say a word, and even said that this was for the handsome, and the handsome had already paid him, and he couldn't charge more money anyway.

Everyone was helpless, so they set up a few tables of good wine and dinner to invite the people of the construction team to eat.

The people of the construction team did not dare to accept money and gifts, but the food could still be eaten, otherwise they would not even eat a meal, which would be too unkind.

Before excavating the foundation, they took the design drawings and asked the new citizens what kind of building model they wanted, whether it was Hitchcockian, Gothic, Renaissance, or a combination of East and West.

The variety of buildings is so beautiful that the new citizens are simply dazzled.

The buildings shown on the drawings have many similarities with the buildings next to the streets of Liujiapu, except that the houses in Liujiapu are all three-storey, and their houses only need to be built into two floors.

No matter what type of house they were, it was much better than the caves and low mud houses they used to live in, so they chose the one that was most pleasing to the eye as their house.

After all the new citizens have chosen the style of the house, the construction team will take the group of people to dig the foundation and prepare to build new houses for the settlement.

Ge Tiedan did such things, I don't know how hard he worked, dividing the land, distributing the house, such beautiful things let him encounter, how could he not be satisfied, how could he not feel happy.

In the eyes of these new citizens, Liu Renyu was sent by God to save the suffering and bring them out of the sea of suffering, so in addition to the army, the people are also spontaneously forming an atmosphere of worshiping Liu Renyu.

Such news was naturally passed on to Liu Renyu's ears, he was secretly happy about all this, he had won the recognition of the people with his benevolent government, so that the people only knew that there was a handsome, but not the court, which was exactly what he wanted.
