October is a very important time for ordinary people in Northeast China. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Whether you can live a good life in the next year depends on how much grain you can harvest from the field this month.

With the arrival of this month, more than one million acres of fertile land under the control of the Liaodong Army also ushered in the first bumper harvest after the famine.

The fertile land of the Northeast did not disappoint Yang Xingguo.

After solving all the talents and technicians recruited by Huang Xing, Yang Xingguo also put his eyes on this harvest.

Yang Xingguo, who took Zhou Zhongju and a few others, came to a Zhuangzi less than twenty miles away from the county seat in civilian clothes.

More than eighty percent of the farmland in this village was reclaimed during the winter of last year.

At this time, not long after dawn, Yang Xingguo, who was walking at the entrance of Zhuangzi, could still feel a slight chill.

However, Zhuangzi, which has more than 1,000 people, is completely unaffected by the cold and is very lively.

Both adults and children are busy.

The sharpening of the knife, the preparation of the animal, the preparation of the animal, and the sight of an idler.

Soon, Yang Xingguo walked into a house with a military family sign hanging at the door.

The whole family is two young and strong, an old man, and two young people, and they are also very busy preparing for the autumn harvest, so much so that Yang Xingguo took people into their yard, and no one noticed.

When Yang Xingguo said that he wanted to know about this year's autumn harvest, the family was not only not dissatisfied, but very happy.

Because Yang Xingguo said that during the whole process, Yang Xingguo and more than a dozen subordinates behind him will help harvest grain.

With a dozen more strong laborers at once, and nothing to lose by himself, as long as he is not a fool, he will agree to such a good thing.

"Brother Wang, look at the situation in the field, your family will definitely have a good harvest this year......" After walking to the head of the Wang family's field, he faced the golden rice ears in front of him. Yang Xingguo asked expectantly.

"This is all thanks to the blessing of the Liaodong Army, if it were not for the Liaodong Army to give us the sky, my old king would not have been able to have so much fertile land and harvest so much grain in his life...... "The almost forty-year-old Wang family is in charge. said with emotion.

Then, he continued to Yang Xingguo: "Brother Yang, although I don't know your specific identity, I can be sure that you must be from the Liaodong Army. The Liaodong Army is the benefactor of our whole family. If you have anything to say, just ask, old man, I am a dealer, I don't understand those bends, I must know everything about you benefactors......"

"Then these Wang brothers......" Yang Xingguo hurriedly asked.

"I want to know how much land the Wang brothers have planted, how much grain they can harvest, and how much food they can have left after taxes, and whether they have enough to eat. If a grain merchant comes to the field to collect grain, Brother Wang can sell as much as he wants. ”

The Wang family, who was standing in front of him, thought about it and replied: "The old Han family has a total of six people, and a total of 30 acres, 20 acres of paddy fields, and 10 acres of land. All paddy fields are planted with rice, and all fields are planted with corn......"

"The grain tax in the first year was a bit heavy, but it was still a lot less than the land rented from the landlord's family. And the Liaodong Army also said that the first year was to repay the seed money provided by the Liaodong Army for free. By next year, the food tax will be cut by almost half. ”

In addition, although the Liaodong Army stipulated that the grain tax in the first year was half of the total harvest, it wanted every household to measure the harvest. Apparently impossible. So, some time ago, the government just sent a notice. In the first year of this year, only one load of grain per mu of land was needed as a grain tax. By next year, only half a load of grain will be needed as a grain tax......"

"Even if we harvest a load of grain per mu this year, I think we will make a lot of money. Because, the harvest of these paddy fields. There is no more than two loads of grain per acre of land. I estimate that it is possible to have three loads of grain per acre, or even four loads of grain. ”

In less than two hours, one acre of rice was harvested and threshed.

Soon, the grain piled up was packed into a box that had been prepared a long time ago, and it was measured bucket by bucket.

At this time, Yang Xingguo also came around, and in less than a minute, the result appeared.

An official in charge of the measurement exclaimed excitedly: "A total of thirty-eight buckets of grain...... Even if all the grain is dried, there will still be at least thirty buckets and three quintals of rice left......"

Wang Laohan's face, who was standing beside Yang Xingguo, was already covered with excitement at this moment.

Yang Xingguo stood by and waited for a minute, until the flush on the face of the old man next to him had faded a lot from excitement before asking: "Brother Wang, now that the yield of one mu has come out, can you estimate how much grain you can harvest this year......

Wang Laohan thought for a while and replied: "The growth of this mu of rice can only be said to be medium, according to the harvest of one mu and three quintals of rice, twenty acres of rice is sixty quintals. After removing the twenty quintals of grain, forty quintals of grain will finally fall into your hands......"

"A full forty quintals of rice, old man, I have been growing grain for so long, and I have never had the experience of harvesting forty quintals of grain once......"

Yang Xingguo is still very satisfied with this harvest.

After thinking about it, he continued to ask: "Brother Wang, how are you going to arrange these forty loads of rice......

Wang Laohan, who was full of smiles, squinted his eyes and replied: "The harvest is so good, there will definitely be no need to eat coarse grains in the future." ”

"Five quintals of rice can be made into four quintals of rice, except for the two boys who are soldiers, the remaining four people in the family can eat up to twelve quintals of rice a year, that is, fifteen quintals of rice......"

"If nothing else, I plan to leave fifteen quintals of rice as rations, and ten quintals of rice to be saved in case of famine. The remaining five quintals of rice were exchanged for silver to buy some belongings for the family......"

"In addition to rice, the ten corn I planted should also have a good harvest."

"If nothing else, it's no problem to harvest three loads of corn per acre. When the time comes, after removing the grain tax, there will be at least 20 quintals left. “

"With rice as the staple food at home, there is no need to keep so much corn. In addition to leaving five loads of corn for storage, all the remaining corn was sold for silver to subsidize the family, and also to add some chickens, ducks and livestock to the family......"

Under the gaze of the old man full of gratitude, Yang Xingguo was very satisfied and took the people away.

After walking several crop households in a row and confirming that the yield per mu of rice was around three quintals, Yang Xingguo was completely relieved.

Compared with Yang Xingguo's reassurance, Yang Xingguo's midweek move was very happy.

For the mid-week ju, a satisfactory harvest directly means that the grain tax of more than 600,000 quintals of rice this year can be easily collected.

Such a huge amount of grain can not only meet the needs of the Liaodong Army in the next year, but also fill the grain reserve warehouse that has just been built, and even allow the Liaodong Army to take out at least 200,000 quintals of rice to sell.

Of course, that's just the rice.

In addition, more than 300,000 quintals of corn may be harvested from more than 300,000 acres of land. The grain tax alone could bring the Liaodong army a million taels of silver.

At the end of the day's inspection, the more the inspection became, the happier it became.

However, Yang Xingguo's face, except for the smile at the beginning, did not show any smile on his face when he got to the back.

Zhou Zhongju, who looked puzzled, asked directly: "Commander, aren't you happy to harvest so much grain?" ”

"Happy...... Of course happy...... However, in addition to being happy, I also found a problem......"

"In addition to growing rice, there seems to be corn left in our millions of acres of fertile land......

"Growing rice in paddy fields can produce the greatest benefits, so I won't say more. However, it is too much of a loss to grow corn that not too many people eat, and corn is cheap, only one or two silver per load......
