The business supervisor did this thing openly, and those merchants didn't say a word, and directly sold the goods they brought to the local health center in Liaodong at cost price, and then the health center distributed it to the people.

In fact, it is not that these merchants are very aware of the righteousness, but they value the ability to maintain a friendly attitude with the commercial supervisor.

At that time, the commercial supervisor will have a little leakage on hand, which will be enough for these merchants to eat and drink for a few years.

Xiao Wuzi saw that these merchants had done this thing benevolently enough, so let's also say that the benefits that should be given should also be given.

As a result, those merchants who ran to Liaodong did more and more business in the past two years.

Millions of people are counted as more than 200,000 households and less than 300,000 households.

If twenty families had one cow, they would have to have at least 10,000 cattle to use.

After solving the problems in life, Zhang Lingyang has to face the problem of solving the livelihood problem for the people.

Ploughing cattle belong to strategic materials in Dazhou, that is, the mainland, in fact, the number of ploughing cattle is not much, and Zhang Lingyang simply can't raise so many ploughing cattle.

I had no choice but to buy cattle from Warat again.

Over the years, Xiao Wuzi's business supervisor has dealt with Wara a lot, and the matter was naturally handed over to Xiao Wuzi.

As for the matter of cultivating cattle, leaving the matter to Xiao Wuzi to do, Zhang Lingyang has nothing to worry about.

Now Zhang Lingyang is worried about building farm tools for these people who have just arrived in Liaodong.

The creation of plows, hoes, shovels and other farm tools was originally intended to be handed over to the Ministry of Industry.

But when he thought that the relationship between himself and the Sixth Department was a little stiff now, and Zhang Lingyang was not easy to pull down, there was nothing to say, Zhang Lingyang directly ordered a forging factory that had just been built, and asked them to make every effort to build farm tools.

Originally, the newly established forge was used to produce blanks for steam engines.

When it comes to the end, I can only build farm tools instead.

is so busy, and in a blink of an eye, it is the spring of the seventh year of Tai'an.

The cattle purchased from Wara and the farm tools they created have been distributed to the people of Liaodong one after another, and when the snow on the land of Liaodong completely melts, the people can go to reclaim the land they have distributed.

Here, Zhang Lingyang had just let go of some thoughts and was about to rest for a few days, when he saw Xiao Fuzi break into the Heart Cultivation Palace.

Seeing that Xiao Fuzi wanted to speak and stopped, with a constipated expression on his face, Zhang Lingyang knew that Xiao Fuzi must have something to report to him, and it was not a good thing nine times out of ten.

After taking a look at Xiaofuzi, Zhang Lingyang said directly: "What's the matter, let's talk about it directly!" ”

"Long live Lord, last year you ordered all localities to deliberately leave some heaven and earth for planting wheat in late autumn, and now there have been replies from all over the country."

"Say, isn't the situation not optimistic?" Zhang Lingyang was mentally prepared and asked directly.

"Long live the wisdom of the lord, but the situation is not very optimistic." Xiao Fuzi secretly looked at Zhang Lingyang's face, and replied cautiously: "In the late autumn of last year, a total of 100 acres of wheat were planted in Liaodong, and less than half an acre survived after the beginning of spring.

The 100 acres of wheat planted in the northwest have survived less than one acre, and the Huangzhuang on this side of the capital, after the beginning of spring, this 100 acres of wheat has grown two acres, but the people below have reported that the growth of wheat is not optimistic. ”

"It's already very good!" Zhang Lingyang understands that the test of this new crop variety is not something that can be completed in one or two years, so he does not have much hope for the results of the test in the first year.

"You command that the stewards of the three imperial estates take good care of the surviving wheat. In the early summer, whoever harvests more wheat will be rewarded heavily. ”

"Slaves obey!"

Zhang Lingyang didn't feel surprised that there were more wheat surviving in the capital than in the other places, after all, the climate and temperature in the capital were much better than those in the northwest and Liaodong.

However, according to the experience of the previous life, it is very likely that the wheat on the capital side will not be harvested in the end, but the wheat that survives in Liaodong and the northwest will be able to harvest some in the end.

The facts are indeed as Zhang Lingyang expected.

Although a lot of wheat survived in the capital, when the harvest was about to be made in early summer, the steward of Huangzhuang found that most of the wheat was empty husks.

On the Liaodong side, the half mu of wheat that survived was harvested in the end, and the northwest side harvested the most, and finally harvested five buckets of wheat.

After ordering the wheat to be kept as seeds and planted before winter, Zhang Lingyang no longer had to worry about these things.

In fact, hybrid rice is the hybrid rice that can quickly solve the grain problem of Dazhou more quickly than winter wheat cultivation.

In his previous life, Zhang Lingyang knew that Professor Yuan had discovered hybrid rice varieties in a certain area of Hainan Island, and finally successfully cultivated hybrid rice.

But Zhang Lingyang, a northerner, really doesn't know much about rice, so there is no way to talk about it.

However, Zhang Lingyang still put the matter of hybrid rice in his heart, and hoped that after the Great Zhou Royal Agricultural Academy became stronger, he would send a group of people to study the problem of hybrid rice.

Zhang Lingyang, who came from later generations, understood better than anyone that for the Great Zhou at this moment, it was not industry at all, nor commerce, but agriculture.

Food is the foundation of everything, and Zhang Lingyang's understanding of this is the clearest.

Don't look at Zhang Lingyang's engagement in industry and commerce, but it can be said that he is most concerned about agricultural issues.

There are nearly 50,000 people in Dazhou, and the food problem cannot be solved, and everything else is nonsense.

Looking at the whole Great Zhou, in addition to the royal and noble, you have to ask who are the richest?

There is no need to think about it, many people can answer casually: it is a salt merchant and a grain merchant.

Of course, the silk merchants who traded by sea in the coastal areas were also wealthy, but in terms of numbers, they were not at all comparable to the grain and salt merchants.

Of course, commerce and industry can also promote the development of agriculture, and the prosperity of agriculture can also promote the development of commerce and industry.

However, in general, the improvement of crop varieties is only some preparations made by Zhang Lingyang for the development of the Great Zhou in the future.

Now, after the Great Zhou began to develop Liaodong, it has been able to effectively alleviate the food pressure of the Great Zhou.

How fertile the black soil of Liaodong is, no one knows better than Zhang Lingyang, a traverser.

You must know that how long it will take for the land to be cleared in Liaodong will be able to solve the food problem in the entire Liaodong.

If the reclaimed land is raised for another three to five years, then the grain output will not only solve the local grain problem in Liaodong, but also feed back to the northern provinces.

In Zhang Lingyang's plan, at least 10 million people from the northern provinces must migrate to Liaodong in order to effectively use the black soil in Liaodong and solve the land and population pressure in the interior.

Of course, this is not something that can be achieved overnight, and Zhang Lingyang has to realize it slowly......
