"After the wheat is harvested, it is time to plant potatoes, and they are really lucky, and now the potatoes have been improved from the size of quail eggs to the size of eggs, and each potato seedling grows ten potatoes, which is simply frightening." The black-clothed man changed his words and continued to talk about things in the field.

"Isn't that right, after they have collected the grain, they will return the borrowed things to the marshal, and there will be a lot of surplus, and this little day must have been extremely happy. Then we will build up the house, and then buy a carriage that we bought from the Jingbianbao Industrial Manufacturing Factory, and go out for a ride from time to time, which is also very good. The white man said with a smile.

"That's true, I heard that Dashuai is going to pave the cement pavement in our entire Jingbian Fort, you think about it, the carriage is walking on such a smooth road, it is not as comfortable as it is." The black-clothed lieutenant smiled.

"They are also lucky, our marshal allocates horses to the men of each family, and now they have horses to drag the carriage, but I heard from the government that the horses in our Jingbian Fort are still not enough, and the marshal plans to take advantage of the opportunity of the northern captives to go south to kill and plunder this autumn, and go to the grassland again, and get more horses." Long in white.

"You said that this northern captives were quite powerful in the past, but I heard those soldiers who came back from Liaodong say that the Jiannu war was okay, it was more violent, and those northern captives were simply vulnerable, and when they met our Jingbian Fort army, they only fought for a while and ran away immediately, where is the courage of our Ming feud!" Long in black.

"So, our marshal will go to the grassland again this time, maybe he can also send a horse to the two of us when he comes back, so that we can also live the addiction of cavalry." When the white-clothed lieutenant said this, he couldn't help but say with a look of hope.

"As soon as you say that, I can't hope that autumn will come soon, so that our army will immediately go to the grassland, grab more horses, and when the cattle and sheep come back, the horses will be distributed to us men, and the cattle can be used to distribute to each family, and be used as farming cattle, and the sheep can be distributed to each family to breed, and if there are more, they will be pickled and stored as before."

The black-clothed lieutenant gestured happily, as if looting on the grassland of the Jingbianbao Military Region was as easy as searching for goods, and the Mongols' cattle, sheep and horses had already been snatched by the Jingbianbao army.

"You're a typical bandit mentality, stealing other people's things to strengthen yourself." The white-clothed lieutenant laughed.

"Che, your theory of the Social Democratic Party is in vain, the party constitution says that only Han people are our companions, citizens of the Ming Empire, we just need to be good to the citizens of our own country, as for the people of other countries, whether they are dead or alive, what do we have to do? Besides, the Mongols are our enemies, how can they be merciful to their enemies, don't you say? The black-clothed lieutenant argued.

"Hey, your theory is really not learned, the marshal said, our enemies are not all Mongols, but the Mongol nobility, ordinary Mongols are the bottom people oppressed by the Mongol nobility, these ordinary Mongols have no property of their own, they are like slaves, and they are appendages of the aristocratic class.

If we go deep into the steppe to attack the Mongols, we must divide the enemy's camp, win over the ordinary Mongols, focus on attacking the Mongol nobles, distribute the cattle, sheep and pastures of the Mongol nobles to the ordinary Mongolian herdsmen, and then assimilate those Mongolian herdsmen into our Han Chinese, so that we can solve the problem of Mongolia's border troubles once and for all. When the white-clothed lieutenant said this, he suddenly brought out the theory of Social Democracy.

"You're right, do you remember, when the marshal gave us a party class, he also told us that in the future, there will be no more Mongolians in our entire Ming Dynasty, Huihui, Miao people, Jurchens, there will only be Han people in the future, because these people will be assimilated into us Han people.

Speaking of which, the method of assimilating them is really clever, unified hairstyle, unified clothing, unified language, unified customs, and uses this way to moisten things silently, and after three generations, all ethnic groups will be unified into our Han nationality. Da Shuai is really powerful, how did his old man come up with this method? The black-clothed lieutenant said with emotion.

"So people are handsome, we are just nobodies, how can the strategy of the handsome be understood by us small characters. Hey, let's not talk about it, everyone is working, it doesn't seem good for us to sit here, let's go, brother, go help them, look at their speed, I'm afraid that all the wheat will be cut in a few days, then we're afraid that we will have to apply for potato seeds soon. The white-clothed lieutenant looked at the humanoid machines in the field that were frantically harvesting wheat and smiled.

The black-clothed lieutenant first looked at the new citizens in the field, and then couldn't agree to reply in a loud voice: "Who said it wasn't, it's all your own food, and it's normal to be so active, let's go, I haven't done farm work for a long time, and today I'm going to practice well." ”

"Let's go."

When the chief in white had said this, he took a sickle and followed the chief in black into the field and harvested the ears of wheat.

The new citizens of this settlement saw that the elders had joined in the harvesting business, and their enthusiasm for the work became more and more intense, and the grain in nearly 200 acres of farmland was harvested in a week's work.

The wheat harvest was over, and the new citizens could not rest for a moment, as they were about to start preparing for the planting of potatoes again.

Everything that follows is still the same recipe and the familiar taste.

Everyone started the concerted mode again, first ploughing the field, and then piling the bellflower in the soil and smouldering, this plant ash is also a good fertilizer, can fertilize the field, and when all this is done, just wait for the government to allocate potato seeds.

In fact, speaking of which, these new citizens have never seen potatoes before, but I heard that this is the introduction of the Ming Dynasty from the barbarians, and the yield is very high.

Since potatoes can be eaten, of course the new citizens are willing to grow potatoes, and it is a good thing that they can eat a little more food in their own granaries.

After the new citizens had leveled the land, the two lieutenants went to the government to apply for potato seeds.

As soon as the two lieutenants completed their applications, Ma Tianjun ordered the potato seeds to be quickly distributed to the settlements.

When the potato seeds were in place, Ge Tiedan and other new citizens cut the potatoes in half and put them in the ground under the guidance of experts from the Agricultural Research Institute.

The planting method of potatoes is different from that of wheat, so Ma Tianjun specially sent agricultural experts to guide them.

Agricultural experts said that if this potato is planted, what grows is still like this, which is called tuber reproduction.

Biology such as tuber reproduction, the new citizens don't understand, they just need to know that potatoes can be eaten, and that's what they care about the most.

Once the potatoes had been planted in the field and had been fertilized, the new citizens' concerns shifted from their fields to something else.

This matter is a debt to the government, and it should be repaid no matter what.

The new citizens in the residential area where Ge Tiedan is located have a total of 200 acres of farmland, and under the premise of sufficient water and fertilizer, the best fields can harvest nearly 400 catties of grain, and the thin fields can also harvest nearly 200 catties.

Each family's field is almost ten acres, that is to say, each family can harvest more than 4,000 catties of grain, less than 2,000 catties, Liu Renyu sympathized with the new citizens, the first year was exempt from taxes, this grain can be used to offset the various means of production that Liu Renyu lent them before, as well as the reinforced concrete and other things to build houses.

Of course, Liu Renyu will not kill chickens and eggs, and insists that the new citizens repay all the debts owed to the government at one time, so that the new citizens' lives will be more difficult, that is to say, Liu Renyu allows the new citizens to repay the debts borrowed from the government in installments.

When the Jingbianbao government collected the grain returned by the new citizens, it did not follow the example of those hateful gentry, and used small buckets when borrowing rice and big buckets when collecting debts, and specifically exploited the people.

The government adhered to Liu Renyu's intentions, and when it received grain, it deliberately bought it according to the price in Shaanxi at that time.

That is to say, when the new citizens handed over their grain to the government, they completed the transaction according to the price of one stone of grain and four taels of silver, which was a typical price in a famine year, while all the means of production and subsistence allocated by the government to the new citizens were calculated according to the cost price, or it can also be called the conscience price.

The Jingbianbao government has naturally benefited greatly from this, and the new citizens are naturally well aware of this, and because of this, they have a greater sense of belonging to the Jingbianbao collective, and their gratitude to Liu Renyu himself has become stronger and stronger.

After the government paid off part of the debt, the family had stored enough food, and the potatoes were planted in the fields to be harvested in October, the focus of the new citizens in the settlements shifted from their fields to their new houses.

At this time, the cement of the first floor of the house has been completely solidified, and the second floor only needs to be finished and renovated simply, and then you can move in.

Next, the construction team and the others poured cement into the already bundled steel reinforcements, and at the same time, a temporary brick-burning earth cave was built around the settlement to fire bricks to fill the walls.

The weather in September was not bad at first, the drought continued and the sun was shining, which was really good weather for the new citizens who were repairing their houses.

By mid-September, the main construction of all the houses in the settlement was completed, and the reinforced concrete frames were all completed, and the beams and roofs were all erected.

All you need to do is fill the walls with bricks, install windows and doors, paint and decorate, and you're ready to move in.
