Chapter 939: Inspect Spring Ploughing!
Angrily begging for a wave of subscriptions......
~~~~~~
Megane called 'Master', aggrieved and happy, and suddenly threw herself into Li Yuanqing's arms. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Li Yuanqing couldn't help but shake his head and laugh, patted her back with a smile, and soothed her emotions, "Are you in a hurry?" There is something going on today, and I got up late. ”
Megane has already deeply understood Li Yuanqing's temperament, how dare she be more serious with Li Yuanqing? Busy and affectionately whispered: "Master, slave maid, slave maid has just been here for a while." ”
The cubicle was only for emergency waiting and did not have a brazier.
Although the room next door was warm and roasted by the brazier, the cold wind in the backyard outside on one side of this small cubicle naturally couldn't be too warm.
Megane's little face and hands were cold.
Li Yuanqing grabbed her little hand and rubbed it vigorously a few times to help her warm up, and said with a smile: "Have you had breakfast?" ”
Megane nodded, but shook her head again, looking at Li Yuanqing with big eyes like a small beast.
Li Yuanqing smiled, "You go inside." Eat with your grandfather. I'll take you out for a walk later. ”
Megane was overjoyed, her hard work, and finally returned the report, and she took the initiative to stand on tiptoe and give Li Yuanqing a fragrant kiss, and then trotted to the inside.
Li Yuanqing shook his head and smiled, and then strode out to the well to wash his hands.
In the courtyard outside, he soothed his hands and feet, moved his body briefly, and washed his hands, Li Yuanqing returned to the inner study, and sure enough, Nian'er's small mouth had already pouted, and there was indescribable pity in Li Yuanqing's eyes.
It means, 'Master, how did you bring this fox here?' ’
Li Yuanqing smiled: "Later, the master is going out to see the spring ploughing fields, Nian'er, you ask people to go to the back kitchen to make more mutton pancakes, let's eat some, I won't eat lunch, and I'll talk about it when I come back in the evening." ”
"Yes, sir."
Although Nian'er was reluctant, but Li Yuanqing spoke, how could she dare to refute? Busy and respectfully do it.
Megane looked at Nian'er's departing back, and the corners of her beautiful mouth couldn't help but tilt slightly, but when she looked at Li Yuanqing, she instantly became a good girl again.
Li Yuanqing naturally noticed Megane's small movements, but he didn't bother to pay attention to it, and under Megane's careful service, he ate breakfast comfortably.
After breakfast, Yang Lei had already prepared the carriage neatly.
Li Yuanqing took the two girls into a small carriage, and under the escort of more than 100 personal soldiers, they left the official hall and went straight to the fields in the southwest.
The most critical reason why Li Yuanqing chose a small carriage instead of a more comfortable and luxurious carriage is that the small carriage is faster, lighter, and can go to more places.
At this time, after several successive replenishments, although the war horse resources on Changsheng Island are still not abundant, they can barely be maintained.
It can also be said to be 'shotgun for gun'.
Li Yuanqing's pro-soldier camp can basically guarantee that there are only one manpower.
At this time, although it is still the end of February, Liaodi is still cold, but the spring ploughing of the next year has already begun to prepare.
The people live on food!
The Ming Dynasty was a pure feudal agrarian society, although there were some elites, and in terms of commerce, including maritime trade, they did well, but the scale was still too small.
And subject to the lack of productivity, at this time, this process of commercialization is far from enough to maintain the economic state of the entire Ming Dynasty.
Li Yuanqing's Changsheng Island, although the process has been preliminarily completed, can only be safe if you are prepared.
Even if there is silver, if there is no harvest in the fields, not to mention that the people are not steadfast in their hearts, he Li Yuanqing's heart is also unsteady.
Although Changsheng Island is close to the sea, at this time, subject to the influence of the entire climate, since the Chinese New Year, the entire Changsheng Island, including the entire southern Liaoning, has not snowed, and the fields are cold and astringent.
It is almost certain that after the weather warms up and the frozen soil thaws in May and June, these fields will be very dry and must be watered manually.
At this time, although the weather is extremely cold, the north wind is howling, and the sea breeze is in tandem, cold, salty and wet.
But in the fields everywhere, there are many busy figures everywhere, and there are many figures in military uniforms.
They are all well digging teams in the fields.
Since God doesn't snow or rain, Li Yuanqing and his people can only come on their own.
It was extremely windy outside, so Li Yuanqing put on a fur jacket and a deerskin hat and personally went to these well digging teams to investigate the situation.
Nian'er and Megane, who were also bored in the carriage, were also tightly wrapped, and followed Li Yuanqing's side, carefully and interestingly, checking the situation of these well digging teams last night.
Fortunately, although the weather is bad, the geographical conditions of Changsheng Island are very superior.
In the northern section of Nanxinkou, in southern Liaoning, many well digging teams have to dig more than 20 meters, that is, seven or eight zhang, or even eight ~ nine zhang, to see clean fresh water, but in the native of Changsheng Island, generally dig more than ten meters, or even seven or eight meters, you can find a clean fresh water source.
It's just that because the sea is too close, it is surrounded by the sea.
Many sources of fresh water need to be carefully screened.
If it is mixed with the salinity of the seawater, the land must not be watered, and the crops will be burned to death.
In this way, the work of the well digging team is still not easy.
Fortunately, Changsheng Island is full of materials at this time, and the gold digging team not only has subsidies from Li Yuanqing's official and political affairs bureaus, but also the people on the land where the wells were drilled naturally cannot neglect these engineers, and they will also serve them with good wine and meat.
This also makes the work of the gold digging team hard, but the oil and water are also very rich, and everyone is very hard and orderly.
After inspecting the working conditions of several well digging teams, Li Yuanqing and his entourage came to a soothing but not low soil slope in the southwest.
Li Yuanqing was dressed in a black fur jacket, a gold-inlaid deerskin hat, a white jade belt around his waist, and deerskin boots, looking down condescendingly and examining the details of the surrounding fields.
This area, about four or five miles away from the urban area of Changsheng Island, extends all the way to the west and south of the land, and there are about five or six thousand tilts of land in a radius, all of which are fertile land, all of which are used to grow crops, which is the core interest of Changsheng Island.
As early as three or four years ago, Li Yuanqing introduced sweet potatoes from Shanghai County and Xu Guangqi, and he has been constantly improving and improving.
By this time, Changsheng Island was very ripe in terms of the distribution of sweet potatoes and crops.
Grow grain on good land, and grow sweet potatoes on poor land.
Try not to waste every penny of land, save resources, and make full use of resources.
Li Yuanqing also admired himself very much at this time, and he made a decisive and difficult decision back then.
That is, on Changsheng Island, it is completely a blank piece of paper, which can be painted and implemented by him Li Yuanqing in full accordance with the regulations he wants.
Otherwise, even in places like Guanglu Island, Shidao, and Changshan Island, these plans may not be implemented smoothly, and I don't know how much trouble and suffering they will have to go through.
Because of the stubbornness of the local forces, they do not want to make progress, or they have no knowledge, they only admit to death, and many things are very difficult to promote.
Rural work, especially in remote areas, was also quite difficult to carry out, including in later generations. But whoever can make achievements is a real strongman.
First, in these areas, the knowledge level of the common people is generally low, and the consciousness of localization, clans, and so on is too strong, and it is simply impossible to enter the oil and salt.
In addition, due to the disadvantages of congenital conditions, it is difficult to make pioneering progress without strong external help.
But there are very few and there is the strength of capital that is willing to develop these 'thankless' places that may not see a return for several years.
In the long run, it will be difficult to carry out the work over time.
But at this time, Changsheng Island is Li Yuanqing's Changsheng Island, which is his homeland, and he is the only master here.
Everything here is framed by him and his sons.
All the rest are outsiders.
In this way, Li Yuanqing wants to push the executive order, coupled with his unrepeatable and high-ranking authority, it will naturally be much simpler.
And with the example of Changsheng Island, these decrees, and then to Fuzhou, to Yangguanbao, to Jinzhou, to Gaizhou, including Lushun and other places, the common people see that there is a successful precedent in front of them, who doesn't want to be well-fed, warmly dressed, and even rich?
This resistance is naturally much smaller.
At this time, as far as the eye can see, there are still many settlements of ordinary people scattered among the many vast fields.
More than a dozen households, less than a few.
Their houses, all of which are masonry frames, are already quite large.
It is like a jewel in a vast field, decorating this land with vitality.
In particular, the stove and brazier in the house, and the rising smell of smoke and fire, make people clearly feel the vitality of this land.
On the side, Megane and Nian'er, both wearing thick fur jackets, deerskin hats, and thick fox fur scarves, only showing their two eyes, stood beside Li Yuanqing prettyly.
Together with Li Yuanqing, he looked at this vibrant land.
Nian'er's heart is naturally very happy, Li Yuanqing can take her out, no matter what she does, she is very happy, as long as she can stay with Li Yuanqing, she will be satisfied.
It's just that Megane's big eyes, bright blue eyes, are turning back and forth.
If she continues at this pace, she won't be able to get Li Yuanqing's rain and dew today.
If she can't get Li Yuanqing's rain and dew and can't get pregnant, she won't be able to further improve her status......
Although she has gotten the news today, there is nothing wrong with Castile, and Li Yuanqing has improved some of his treatment, but there are too many things, and she is always controlled by others, especially in Li Yuanqing's back house, her small waist board always can't stand up.
This made the arrogant Megane feel very unhappy......
Especially at this time, there is still Nian'er by her side, even if she wants to seduce Li Yuanqing in the carriage, she is afraid that it will be difficult.
"What the hell is to be done?"
Megane felt a little impatient in her heart for a moment.
At this time, Yang Lei, the leader of the pro-soldiers on the side, reported to Li Yuanqing with a smile: "Marshal, the front is Gejiazhuang." Gree's kid's home is over there. This guy also bragged in the morning, his father hunted a big roe deer, and there were a lot of sea cucumbers. We can kill him. ”
Ge Li is the deputy general manager of the pro-military battalion who has been promoted by the new generation, and he is also the old man of the Changsheng battalion, and he has followed Li Yuanqing during the Zhenjiang period, and he is Li Yuanqing's hardcore little brother.
This guy has a house in the city, but his parents and sisters have all made their homes outside the city.
To put it bluntly, the older generation is still not used to life in the city.
Li Yuanqing couldn't help but look at Ge Li with a smile, "Boy, you Yang Ye has to kill you, what should you do?" ”
Ge Li smiled, "Dashuai, you can come to the humble house, that's a lowly creation!" There is no such thing as being humble. You must be full of wine and meat, and serve the handsome and brothers! ”
Li Yuanqing couldn't help laughing: "I can serve well, but if I serve my brothers well, you kid won't be able to do it." Yang Lei, what to do, what to do! ”
"Yes!" Yang Lei hurriedly smiled.
The Changsheng Camp has long had strict rules and regulations in this regard, so it is natural to use the silver to purchase food from the people.
The military affairs of the pro-soldiers are highly intense work, and it is difficult to relax once, and everyone laughs at the time, and the chill on their bodies has dissipated a lot.
On the side, Megane's big eyes couldn't help but light up, her chance, isn't this coming?
