July, harvest season.

Compared with the past, Jinshanwei swept away the sorrow, the military households were full of smiles, although last winter was the coldest winter in Songjiang for decades, but several heavy snows also gave the land enough fertilizer, therefore, this year's Jinshanwei also ushered in a rare harvest year, for the military households, crops are the root of life.

What's even more gratifying is that this year's tax rents are low.

The commander made the adults collect only 10% of the tax, and the military households have already calculated how much grain they can save after paying the tax this year.

And the happiest belong to those military households who have planted corn.

Although it will take a while for the corn to be harvested, the approximate yield is already about the same.

According to the estimates of military households, the output of one acre of land is at least six stones.

Therefore, although the corn has not yet been harvested, there are already military households who have taken the initiative to plant corn next year.

In August, when it was finally the season of corn harvesting, Li Chuan personally inspected it, and immediately gave an order, and the impatient military households who had been waiting for a long time immediately took action in full swing, and it took only one day to harvest all the hundreds of acres of corn.

After three days, the total output was also out.

The average yield per mu is more than 1,230 catties, which makes Jinshanwei's military eyes red. Although it was known for a long time that the corn yield would be high, it had not yet been harvested.

Now that the food is in front of you, the golden corn cobs have become a huge mountain of gold, which makes the eyes of all the military households turn red, and all the military households have made a choice without Li Chuan digging out any more ways to find a way.

Regardless of whether the corn is delicious or not, this year, what is always pressing on the heads of the people is the problem of food and clothing.

The yield per mu is more than six stones, which means that as long as corn is planted, a year's grain storage can be called for three years.

Moreover, Li Chuan had made a batch of corn for the military households to taste, and it was not more unpalatable than the rice of this year.

There is no doubt that the ten years of Chongzhen are a year worth celebrating for the military families of Jinshanwei.

The yield of corn per mu is more than six stones and the yield of potatoes per mu is more than 2,000 catties, so that the households of Jinshanwei are sure that they will not starve again in the future, especially the potato, the yield of one mu of land is more than twice that of corn.

Although this thing is not as hungry as Miyu, it is impossible to completely replace corn and wheat like corn, but at least with this kind of West, there is no need to worry about starving to death, in the eyes of ignorant military households, potatoes and corn are simply divine objects given by God.

I have the heart to worship God, but I don't know which god to worship.

Military households also have a way, it is best to simply set up an immortal card for the commander at home, and from time to time the pillar incense is long.

Li Chuan also received the news, but just laughed it off.

Taiwan is still unable to go for the time being, and it is rare for the world to usher in a short period of peace, and the naval camp has also been built, but Li Chuan is a little bored, and he really has nothing to do, so he simply practices marksmanship.

In the past, when I was in Jiangyin, I had to be sneaky to practice a gun.

It's different now, not to mention practicing guns, even if you practice guns, no one cares about him.

"Young master, the shock force of this gun is really a bit big."

Zhao Tiezhu is also practicing marksmanship, but he is not practicing a pistol, but M14, at first I didn't feel it, after dozens of shots in one go, even with his brute strength, I felt a little unbearable.

The shoulder delivery was completely unconscious by the shock, and I don't know if I took it off or not.

"I bought the wrong gun."

Li Chuan also realized that he was a little ill-considered, the M14 is very powerful, but there are also a lot of problems, the gun body plus the bullet is a bit too heavy, the recoil is also a bit large, and shooting for a long time is really not a small physical consumption of the soldiers.

Looks like it's time to change guns.

Li Chuan turned around and contacted Levin and asked Levin to find him some information on firearms, and he wanted to refer to it.

This is simple, and Levine quickly got him a bunch of information.

Li Chuan made a comparison, and found that the most cost-effective was the domestically produced Type 95 semi-automatic rifle, which was not only very cheap, but also had a range and power, not to mention the maximum range, and the effective killing range could also reach 400 meters.

"Can you get a Type 95 semi-automatic rifle made in our country?"

Li Chuan was a little curious, how could this guy get domestic arms as a foreigner.

Levin subconsciously despised him and said: "Li, although your country has strict gun control, it is not forbidden to buy and sell arms, those arsenals are also enterprises, so it is natural to do business, I have a few friends who have businesses in several small countries supported by your country, and it is still easy to get guns from your country." ”

Li Chuan suddenly said, "Bring me 10,000 bullets, the more bullets, the better." ”

"Okay."

"You know, it's a hassle to buy Chinese arms, and I need some time," Levin said. ”

Li Chuan thought about it for a while, and said: "Then get more, come to 20,000 pieces, and order some of those abnormal parts." ”

Levine should be, calculating in his heart how much he can make from this deal.

Li Chuan confessed a few more words, and as soon as he quit Taobao, there was a knock on the door outside.

"Young master, there are five ghost boats coming, our Jinshanwei."

"The ghost's ship?"

Li Chuan was a little stunned, and he was a little helpless.

The people of the Ming Dynasty are accustomed to calling Europeans ghosts, and they can't change it.

However, how could Jinshanwei have a European ship coming?

Li Chuan opened the door and went out of the house and asked, "Have you seen clearly, how can there be a Western ship coming to Jinshanwei?" ”

Zhao Tiezhu scratched his head and said, "What Lao Huang said should be right. ”

Li Chuan had a thought in his heart, and while walking out, he said, "Let's go, go and have a look." ”

Zhao Tiezhu hurriedly followed, and after leaving the inner courtyard, five more family members followed.

The naval camp had already been built, and Huang Tianxiang took people out to sea for exercises, and the camp was empty. The soldiers and civilians of Jinshanwei are still accustomed to calling the naval battalion a naval battalion, and there was no concept of a navy in this era.

There are a lot of people in the camp, there is a thousand households of military uniforms stationed here, led by Huang Tianxiang often go to sea to practice, so that the soldiers can adapt to life at sea as soon as possible, most of the time only around Jinshan, rarely go too far.

"Where's the Westerner's ship?"

Li Chuan boarded the dock and asked the sailors who had come to report the news.

The sailor replied, "Twenty miles south of Jinshan, there are five ships, all of them Westerners. ”

Li Chuan wanted to ask again, but he heard the rumbling sound of cannons from the sea dozens of miles away, and he couldn't help but jump his eyelids, this special thing turned out to be on fire, and he didn't know if it was the Spaniards or the Dutch, but he was really arrogant.

"Young master, the fight has started."

The sailor who came to report the news was also startled, and his face was a little bad.

"Let's go, let's see."

Li Chuan waved his hand and immediately boarded a large fortune boat.
