"Hey, I said big cow, it looks like your family's harvest should be good this year!"

In the north of Phoenix, there are not many traces of the war in the fields of last year, and more hands are densely packed with verdant crops that connect the city.

In the fields, industrious Han men and women are diligently tending to their crops, looking forward to a good harvest this year.

"It's good to see the crop rising, but the specific harvest will have to wait for some time to be harvested!"

The man called the big cow, as if looking at his own child, affectionately played with a corn cob that was taller than him, and a strong corn cob grew on this pole, so that the Han people who planted this corn for the first time were a little unsure of their own corn harvest.

The people here in Liaodong are not busy with clearing the wasteland and planting the land this year, and everyone is used to it in other aspects, but in terms of cultivating food, everyone planted the crops distributed by Hongmen for the first time, and cultivated them under the guidance of their technicians, so that everyone really has no confidence.

No, if you plant crops such as wheat and sorghum that are familiar outside the border, firstly, it is too late in time and the climate is also a little difficult, and secondly, the yield of ordinary crops is always not as high as that of corn, potatoes and sweet potatoes that Hongmen has optimized and is familiar with on Dayuan Island.

In order to ensure that the grain output of the people is at least eighty or ninety percent of the harvest this year, plus some more support from the headquarters of Dayuan Island, the burden of hundreds of thousands of people in the northeast is not so heavy.

"Listen to those old tricks, our corn will be harvested in two days, and I hope to have a good harvest!"

Another old farmer, looking at the patches of dense crops with hope in his eyes, said with a sigh.

"Who says it's not, we can be regarded as having a new life after all our hardships, I just hope it's not a dream."

The vast majority of the common people living in Liaodong were only slaves under the Faqing Jurchens before last year, not to mention owning the fields they have now, and even their own lives could be hacked and killed by the Qing people anytime and anywhere for no reason, and no one cared about them.

Who would have thought that the changes in this world are so fast, the Qing people were still the king and hegemon in the northeast, but in an instant, their Han army was killed again, not only let the Qing people lose their troops, but also even the territory left by their ancestors was occupied by the Han people.

The Han slaves who finally escaped now have a life full of hope again, and at this time, the gratitude and trust of Hongmen have long overwhelmed the loyalty to the Ming Dynasty.

Also, when they were captured and enslaved by the Qing Dynasty, they and other troops of the Ming Dynasty did not come to help them get out of danger, not to mention that now here in Liaodong, this Hongmen also distributed land, rations and grain seeds to everyone to help everyone slowly recover their livelihoods, which has never been done by the Ming Dynasty.

"Also, have you heard? We don't have to pay taxes this year and next, and the earliest taxes will not be paid until after the harvest in the following year. ”

"Really? That's really a group of blue sky masters! ”

"What's more, our Wubao is going to prepare to open a school, and all children, regardless of gender, must be enrolled in school, and they don't have to pay for the bundle of repairs!"

"Where did you hear about this, why did you say that the sea allowed girls to go to school? I see, this is very unnecessary, the old man said well, a woman is virtuous if she is not talented, and the girl is a family, what books to read, and what words to recognize! ”

"Hehe, you don't understand this, I heard that in the future, this girl will not only study medicine but also go out to find a job, and the salary will be high!"

"This Hongmen old nest, I heard that I have done this a long time ago, and the money earned by this woman's work is no less than that of us men!"

"Alas, what kind of body does this woman become!!"

“…………”

Passing by the field, Shang Kexi, who was dressed in civilian clothes, with a team of his own soldiers, had just finished the meeting in Phoenix City, and was hurrying back to Liaoyang City at this time.

Hearing these conversations, Shang Kexi smiled in his heart, how many years have passed, this land has finally ushered in a group of better masters, and as one of them, Shang Kexi has great confidence, believing that they can make this fertile land into another land of wealth belonging to their Hongmen.

In Phoenix, I heard a series of actions in the base camp, and the most gratifying thing was that in addition to building a series of new factories in Anshan behind Gongchangling Castle, a bigger surprise was to build a new railway between Liaoyang and Phoenix.

This is the second new railway construction plan in Hongmen, and even the Luzon Islands have not implemented a railway because of steel resources.

Of course, the main role of opening up this railway is actually for the many factories in Anshan that are about to start construction, and together with Gongchangling Castle and Liaoyang City, it is just a convenient one.

However, this does not prevent Liaoyang City, after having the opening of this railway, it will have greater development prospects and more changeable defense plans.

Riding on a horse and thinking about the beautiful scenery brought by the opening of the railway in the future, Shang Kexi soon led the team back to the place where they were stationed, and now the Honghongtang military headquarters is in Liaoyang City, the bridgehead of Liaodong.

Compared with Liaoyang City in the hands of the Jurchens, Liaoyang City, which was recaptured by the Hongtang army, has long disappeared at this time and was burned by a fire, and it is more of the unique gray-white structure of cement buildings.

"Commander, in the past few days since you went to the meeting, another merchant has come to the door, please raise our hands and sell a few shops to them."

As soon as he entered the city, a staff member came to the door and began to complain to Shang Kexi.

"Tell them to wait for another half a month, and in half a month, our Liaoyang City government will officially start working externally!"

"Now, even if I'm willing to let go of this mouth, what I say doesn't count! Let them wait! ”

Jumping off the horse, Shang Kexi shook his head and gave the staff an accurate answer directly, asking him to deal with the group of businessmen who seemed to have seen meat.

"Yes!"

"What a bunch of guys with a keen sense of smell, this is really well-informed!"

Shang Kexi knew why these merchants were willing to invest in this city at the forefront of contact with the Qing Dynasty, and he was quite impressed by the speculative consciousness of these people.
