Wu Yongdao: "Although the team is up now, but it has not experienced the test of battle, I think it is better to be obscure, and there is no need to be too public." ”

"Mr. Wu is right, although the training of the team is very elite, but the number is too small after all, not to mention that many rookie generals have just arrived, and they are still training. If the financial resources permit, I propose to secretly expand the army, and increase the cavalry by 100 men, to the size of 200 cavalry. The infantry increased by three hundred, bringing the total number to six hundred. The navy recruited another 200 men, for a total of 500. Zhu Wu proposed.

Wu Yong said: "It's good to expand the army, as long as my brother's financial resources can support it." ”

The money on the account of the group training is separated from the commercial bank, and 25,000 yuan and 500,000 catties of grain are retained, which is a lot, but there are more than 3,000 yuan of fixed expenses every month, and the most important thing is that the commercial bank has no money to allocate to the group training team recently.

Du Qian said: "I don't have to worry about military salaries here, but every day each soldier consumes an average of two catties of grain, half a catty of meat, one catty of fish, one egg and two catties of vegetables. War horses are twenty catties of grass and four catties of concentrate every day. ”

Zhu Wu smacked his tongue when he heard this, and said: "The forage for the war horse is not much, but the consumption of the soldiers is too great. ”

"If you want to train elite soldiers, you can't feel sorry for this little supply, the training intensity of our soldiers is comparable to that of the Tokyo Forbidden Army, or even surpassing, so the supply is still worth it." Wu Yong said.

Zhu Wudao: "It's really worth it, but we don't have financial support from the state government, and we only rely on commercial banks and farming, which feels too difficult." Three or five thousand people are still okay, and it will be difficult to have more. ”

Chao Gai sighed: "No matter how difficult it is, you have to get it, this world is getting more and more muddy day by day, and if you don't have soldiers in your hands, you are a fat sheep to be slaughtered." ”

It's just that it's late July, and it's about to start autumn, and the king rice will soon be harvested in the spring, and the king rice will be more than a month at most in the summer. The two military divisions had their own projects in hand and couldn't get out of their hands, so Liu Tang was in charge of recruiting 600 people, of which 200 were to go to the Dengzhou beach to recruit fishermen, and these 200 people were transferred back to the navy. ”

Liu Tang said: "No problem, just go to Dengzhou to recruit fishermen, I want to ask Xie Zhen and Xie Bao brothers for assistance." ”

"Okay, that's it. It's a long way to Dengzhou, and you can't rush at this time, you can take your time. ”

It is still very easy to recruit 400 people locally, and the treatment of Yuncheng regimental training has made many people red, ordinary people, what do you say to him to protect the family and defend the country, and what big truths are nonsense, as long as you are a soldier and eat food, you have military salaries, and the salary is high. Of the 400 people recruited, more than 2,000 people signed up, and after selection, 1,000 people participated in the elimination selection, and finally 400 people were selected for recruit training. This time, recruiting Chao Gai was much easier, Liu Tang, Li Kui and a group of other old people were already very mature, and they were also proficient in the recruit training syllabus required by Chao Gai.

Chao Gai took Jiao Ting and Pang Wanchun, and the three of them went straight to the cornfield. The camp was not far from the cornfield, mainly to keep the corn in fear of theft or destruction, but everything was fine, and no one dared to make trouble.

In the spring, the stalks of the king rice are two meters and five meters high, and the green ones are very cute, even a big man like Chao Gai Jiao Ting is ashamed of himself in front of the corn, and the ears of the king rice have grown as big as a beer bottle.

Pang Wanchun said: "I have never seen this crop before, everyone just said that they can't touch this, and they don't know what the name is." ”

"Tianwang rice, good land plus fertilizer can yield 1,2300 catties per mu. There are still 800 catties per mu of ordinary plots. At present, we have the entire Great Song Dynasty. Chao Gai said.

Pang Wanchun was surprised: "In this way, we can rent more land to plant this, and the harvest will definitely be much better than others." ”

Chao Gai said with a smile: "Jingdong is not a place outside the world, it is difficult to rent a large amount of land, and now it is to rent 40,000 acres of land, and it is not authentic to keep it for planting, and good things to share with everyone." ”

"Selling seeds?" Pang Wanchun said.

Everyone walked to the small farming house in the field, and it happened that Liu Youtian was also there.

"The owner is here." Liu Youtian said.

Chao Gai said: "I have asked the department store to release the news of the high yield of Tianwang rice, and the dozens of acres of spring corn will be used as a field to visit, and I will send fifty regimental training soldiers to help maintain order, but every time you receive it, you have to deal with it personally, of course, Liu Liang will not bring people over casually." The characteristics of Tianwang rice should be as it is, and it should not be exaggerated. ”

"Don't worry, owner."

Because it is manually sown, the amount of seeds used is relatively small, and the seeds are also sparse.

"This year's output is expected to be three million catties, which is the result of intensive cultivation and consumes a lot of manpower and material resources. Except for one million catties of seeds, all the others were sold. The unified pricing is ten catties of wheat for one catty of corn seeds, and four catties of corn seeds for a pack of corn, that is, one acre of land. Ten acres of land are sold, because of the need to train sowing techniques, so the first year is less than the sale. Chao Gai said.

Liu Youtian's happy face bloomed, and it was the first time he had seen such a bumper crop.

Pang Wanchun saw Jiao Ting waving his fingers to count, and muttered in his mouth, Pang Wanchun asked, "What are you muttering?" ”

Jiao Ting said: "I'm calculating how much food we can get." Two million catties, multiplied by ten times, is 20 million catties? I guess I'm right. ”

Pang Wanchun was also frightened by this figure: "20 million catties of grain, a rich county does not collect so much grain tax in a year." ”

Chao Gaile said hehehe: "If you don't have this ability, we don't have to mess around." You just wait to be tired, and in the future, each of you will bring 10,000 soldiers and 8,000 soldiers, and no one will leave me idle. ”

Chao Gai went to look at Tianwang cotton, peanuts, and Chaotian peppers, and everything was growing well.

Pang Wanchun couldn't help but ask: "I really can't see that a hero like my brother is so interested in crops, and no one believes it." ”

"Wanchun should not forget, the common people are either oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, dressing and eating. Tianwang rice is a good grain and can be eaten. Tenno-cotton is a textile cloth and can be dressed. Chaotian pepper is a seasoning, and peanuts are oil crops for oil extraction. No matter how big a hero is, he can't do without these items. ”

"The other three crops can also bring considerable profits, and we are all about to develop." Pang Wanchun said.

Chao Gai shook his head and said: "Pifu is not guilty of his crimes, we have launched Tianwang rice this year is already eye-catching, if other crops are launched will inevitably be hated, although not afraid, but also troublesome, so this year only push Tianwang rice, other crops are left to be pushed later." Chao Gai said.

Yuncheng, Tianya Inn outside the city.

The four people who drove the cart sat around the table and ordered four small dishes and a jar of cheap wine. Although it is hard to catch the big car, the income is not bad, so these big coachmen often get together and eat three glasses of wine, which is a little hazy.

One of them, the coachman A, said: "I, I, I tell you great news, you, you must not tell anyone else." ”

"What good news." Coachman B said disdainfully.

Coachman A beckoned, and the four of them surrounded him, and Coachman A muttered for a while, and no one else could hear what he said.

At this time, the coachman B suddenly jumped up and said, "Are you not talking nonsense, what kind of rice can yield a thousand catties per mu?" The seeds are still sold so cheaply, and ten catties of wheat are exchanged for one catty? I don't believe it, I don't believe it. ”

The coachman A was also annoyed and said, "Hey, dog, I'm kind enough to tell you, you still don't believe it, you love to believe it or not." Do you know what Tianwang rice means, this Tianwang is the nickname of Chao Gai Chao Tuanlian, this is a good seed that Chao Tuanlian got from overseas, the yield is naturally high, and some people have seen it, the rice ear is thicker than the adult's arm, and the pole is higher than the house. Believe it or not. ”

Such gossip spread rapidly not only in Yunseong, but also in Jeju City, Ren County, Juye County, and Geumxiang County. The speaker is unintentional, but the listener is intentional. Ordinary tenants who have a difficult life and do not have much surplus food at home can forget it, but there is a peasant household with 100 acres of land at home, and they have to inquire carefully. At first, the department store did not answer, but later officially stated that it would only sell seeds in department stores and Chaojia grain stores, and there would be no branches or distribution. All peasant households who buy 100 mu, that is, 400 catties of seeds, must first pay for grain orders, and if they are late, they will be gone, because the quantity is limited.

Of course, because the yield of this king rice is much higher than the current crop yield, there are also people who have too many doubts. asked to go to the field to watch, Liu Liang organized some large purchasers, and dozens of people went to the field to watch together, which most people were very surprised. Not only is the grain yield high, but the tall straw is not two or three thousand catties per mu, and in the agricultural era, large families raised cattle, and the cattle had to eat grass, so corn straw was still a good thing.

Later, the county commander Shi Wenbin led dozens of famous people from this county and Linxian County to visit, and no one questioned it anymore. In just half a month, the Chaojia grain store received more than 15 million catties of grain. Fortunately, the Chao family has a lot of horses, and they need a fleet and carriages, so they don't have to worry about transportation, Rao is so the granary of the Chao family is also full, and even the granary in the military camp has an extra five million catties of grain.

With these grains, there are more than 5,000 displaced people, and they are divided into 10 displaced villages. The daily food alone is 5,000 catties, and I still haven't let go of eating, just to make a living. Fortunately, the autumn harvest is coming, and large families will hire some women as short-term workers, and Shi Wenbin has also made corresponding publicity, believing that there will be many large households employing these people to work.

Chao Gai called Shi Jin, Yang Chun, and Chen Da over, and said, "The training of recruits is very hard, the three of you are dark, but you are also strong." ”

Shi Jin said with a smile: "I have learned too many things during this time, Wang Jiaotou's guns and sticks, Liu Jiaotou's Pu knife, my brother's fists and feet, not to mention military things, in short, I feel that I have been reborn." ”

Chen Da Yang Chun also said: "The skills of the two of me have also grown a lot and learned a lot. ”

"That's good, since you're practicing well, you should check it. I'll give you a mission tomorrow. Chao Gai said.
