Just when the training was in full swing on New Jeju Island. Chao Gai is also busy in Shandong. That's all the Jeju regiment trained soldiers and horses. It's impossible to expand. There are many people in the court. Everything. Therefore, Chaogai did not consider expanding his army from Jeju anymore.

The spring of the fourth year of Zhenghe was very short-lived. It seems that the people of Jeju all over Jeju are busy. Two years in a row of bumper harvests of grain and fish. It has confirmed Jeju's reputation as the land of fish and rice. Almost every household in Jeju has grain in stock. Households have money to spare. Due to the large popularity of cows, horses, and water wheels. Labor efficiency has been greatly improved. The family doesn't need that much labor.

Jeju's industry and commerce are also gradually prospering. Small workshops have sprung up. In front of Limin Wood Factory. Lu Tam's face bloomed with a smile. from last winter. By the beginning of spring this year. The hand-spinning machines produced in the factory have sold tens of thousands of units. Although one is only a few tens of dollars in profit. But I can't stand the number of them. And in addition to small hand spinning machines. looms and so on.

A carpenter beside Lu Tam asked, "Director Lu." Why is this spinning machine selling so hot this year? More and faster chapters are here. ”

Lu Tam laughed: "You don't go home often, do you?" Go back and see. At present, in addition to growing grain and fish, Jeju also grows cotton, mulberry trees and silkworms. Cotton and silkworms are both good things. Able to spin and weave. If you want to spin and weave, you have to buy a machine. The price of our factory is low. And durable. That's why it's selling well. It's not just our factory that's hot. Sales of other factories are also very hot. Even ordinary small workshops have a business. ”

When it comes to the economy, Lu Taman doesn't know much. But in general, it is because of the great development of agriculture. Three years ago, the peppercorns, jujubes, walnuts and mulberry trees planted by the villagers in front of their houses and behind their houses and on the edge of the fields have begun to produce crops. Don't underestimate these rural products. A family can increase their income by one or two hundred yuan. Hawkers with mules walked the streets to buy these dried fruits. Send it to the processing workshop. Processing workshops were processed and sold to large trading houses. Large commercial banks sell their products to big cities or overseas.

Early this morning. After the normal training of the army. Chao Gai and others have eaten it. With Zhu Wu's military division. Luo Yun and a few other soldiers set off again.

Luo Yun said: "Where to go this time." ”

Chao Gai said: "This time I went to the nursery in the back mountain of Chaojiazhuang. You don't need to bring more people. ”

Zhu Wu didn't know how Chao Gai remembered to go to the nursery.

There were many wolves in the mountain behind Chaojiazhuang. It's a disaster. Every year, wolves enter the village to eat people. You can't fight it no matter how you want to fight. Later, Chao Gai built Xu Meng's cannon foundry in the recess of the back mountain. Experiment with guns every day. After a long time, the wolves on the mountain ran away. Later, the cannon foundry was relocated to New Jeju Island. There are thousands of acres of barren mountain land in the mountains, so they are given to bald heads to make nursery land.

As soon as I entered the mountain, I saw dozens of carts pulling thorny trees to transport them out. Zhu Wu said: "This thorny tree looks terrible. It looks like a jujube tree. ”

Chao Gai smiled: "Where is the thorn of the jujube tree so exaggerated. This is the Saponaria tree. Saponaria saponaria is a medicine. More and faster chapters are here. The clinical dosage is relatively large. Our pharmaceutical factories, pharmacies and pharmacies are in high demand. The supply was met by the impurity of the wild alone. Therefore, in Yishui County, we cooperated with several villages to plant several mountain saponaria trees to collect saponaria thorns. It's up to them to pick up the seedlings. ”

Zhu Wu nodded. Understood. Although medicinal herbs are not as important as food. But people who are sick always have to use it. Jeju, Shin Jeju Island, and Haelong Island all offer low-cost medical care. Therefore, the demand for medicinal materials is even greater.

The bald head is directing the workers to load the truck. Let Luo Yun call him.

Chao Gai asked: "How many saponaria seedlings can be produced this year?" ”

The bald head said strongly: "I'll do things." Rest assured, owner. Our own nursery will produce 1 million saponaria trees this year. One million wolfberry seedlings. 2 million salvia seedlings. 2 million Chinese acacia trees. There are more than 2 million peach, apricot, and pineapple seedlings. The goods are sufficient. I'm afraid that this year will not be sold out. ”

"Well done. You're not too young. It's time to marry a daughter-in-law. More and faster chapters are here. The annual salary is also sufficient. Go back and let yourself find a matchmaker. Chao Gai said.

The bald head forcibly takes off his hat. Touch your head. He sighed, "When all the barren mountains are overgrown with trees, I will marry my daughter-in-law." ”

Zhu Wu smiled: "You can see it quite openly." You're not that big, though. The owner of the village has not yet married a daughter-in-law. ”

Usually, the nursery will arrange someone to inspect it. Chao Gai brought people over just to take a look. This nursery is mainly for bulk medicinal plants. The saponaria tree is pierced with saponaria for medicine. Salvia miltiorrhiza is rooted in medicine. As for the national acacia, it is the acacia flower into medicine. It's called locust rice.

Fruit tree seedlings such as peach and apricot are not all for sale. Rather, it is used to green barren mountains. There are still many beasts on the mountain in the Great Song Dynasty. Tigers may not be found in ordinary mountains. But wolves, monkeys, wild boars will always be there. Most of the original trees were broad-leaved trees. After all, very little fruit is produced. Fruit trees such as peach, apricot, and pineapple will green the barren mountains for a few years, and there will be many fruits. Provide abundant food for wildlife. It can play a role in improving the environment.

Zhu Wudao: "My brother asked me to see what the medicinal herb seedlings are for. Are you going to put me in charge of the establishment of the medicinal herb base? ”

Chao Gai waved his hand. smiled: "Mr. Zhu Wu is talented." Someone else is responsible for such a thing as growing medicinal herbs. I want you to go down to Gangnam. Advance to Suzhou and Hangzhou. In the name of soup kitchen, medicine delivery, and medicine donation. Extensive recruitment in Suzhou and Hangzhou. ”

"That's Fang La's territory." Zhu Wu said.

Chao Gai said: "Tian Hu has occupied Taiyuan. Presumably, it won't be long before Fang La will raise troops in the south. We have to take advantage of it. Recruit strong men and women from Jiangnan to New Jeju Island and Black Dragon Island. There's still a lot of land that can be cultivated over there. And a weaving factory will be built on New Jeju Island. A large number of female workers are needed. Jiangnan women like textiles the most. Recruitment has passed, just in time. ”

The area around Suzhou and Hangzhou has been plagued by Huashigang. The former Flip Recruitment Industrial and Commercial Team also recruited thousands of immigrants from Jiangsu and Zhejiang to go to New Jeju Island. But the number is still too small.

Zhu Wu thought about it for a moment. said: "If Gongsun Junshi goes to recruit people." Applying and delivering pesticides is definitely more effective. But I can't. There is no such fairy wind bone. Aren't there workers in Jeju's textile factories and woodware factories that we have recruited before? Bring me two hundred men. I brought them home. It is guaranteed to recruit tens of thousands of people. ”

Chao Gai said, "Okay. It's up to you. I will elect for you two hundred workers from the south. Each person will be given five times of money for visiting relatives. ”

Zhu Wu smiled and said nothing. This method is actually quite simple. It's just a statement. There were no newspapers in those days. There is no internet. It is transmitted by word of mouth. Many people's first instinct for information from outsiders is to doubt its authenticity. But the workers who work here. Come home rich or famous. Money was earned. I went back and told their neighbors, relatives and friends. There will definitely be more.
