After the distribution of 5,000 stone grain, all parts of the country were very stable, and there was no abnormality, including the abolition of the garrison yamen, there was no problem at all, and the state and county clerks specially reported on the abolition of the garrison yamen. The prefectures of Suide Prefecture and Jiazhou also said that the retrenched sergeants were given the cultivated land that was about to be harvested, and a small amount of subsidies, and they were grateful to Dade without the slightest opinion, and even those sergeants who entered the inspection department were still envious of these retrenched sergeants.

Finally stabilized for the time being, Zheng Xunrui's energy was focused on the harvest of winter wheat, which was the key to whether Yan'an Mansion could stabilize it, Zheng Jiajun was on standby at any time, in a state of war readiness, if the rogues dared to invade at this time, they would definitely suffer a blow of destruction.

On April 25, the winter wheat harvest in Fushi County began first.

The yield per mu of land, in Zheng Xunrui's expectation, is about five times with one stone, which is not simple, you must know that in the second year of Chongzhen, when the famine was the most severe, the price of rice reached six coins of silver, which was converted into sixty taels of silver for one stone of grain, and such a price would make everyone crazy.

According to the statistics of the prefecture and county, the area of winter wheat sown is 15,000 hectares, that is, 1.5 million mu, of which 10,000 hectares can be guaranteed to have a harvest, and 1.5 million stone of winter wheat can be harvested according to the yield of one stone and five dendrobs per mu, because Yan'an Prefecture has exempted three years of taxes, and these winter wheat, according to the requirements of the government, the people get 70%, the government gets 30%, and the government can get 450,000 stone grain, and the rest is owned by the people.

At present, there are about 300,000 people in Yan'an Prefecture, so that if it is evenly distributed, each person will have three stones and five catties of grain throughout the year, that is, seven hundred catties of grain, which is very good after a few hundred years, but now it is far from enough, and it can only be said that he can barely survive, after all, Qingzhuang can easily eat three catties of grain every day, and he needs more than 1,000 catties of grain every year.

However, if you plan it properly, you can maintain a year's livelihood in accordance with the principle of eating sparsely and dry when you are busy when you are free.

There are 80,000 hectares of winter wheat planted in Fushi County.

From April 25 to May 10, half a month, the whole county of Fushi County was very busy, in fact, all the prefectures and counties to which Yan'an Prefecture belonged were very busy, and the government had already stopped preventing the incident, and all the officials went down to supervise the harvest of winter wheat.

The weather has been very good.

By May 20, all the winter wheat had been harvested, and the statistics came out.

"My lord, the total output of winter wheat in Yan'an this year is 1.63 million stones, of which the government collects 490,000 stones, and the rest of the grain belongs to the people......

When Ma Zhukui made a report, he had a comfortable smile on his face, he couldn't remember when such a situation had occurred in Yan'an Mansion, and the government had 490,000 stone grain, which could do a lot of things, at least it could completely maintain the stability of all parts of Yan'an Mansion, and the officials' fortunes were also completely guaranteed.

"My lord, the grain handed over by the state and county to the government treasury should be 100,000 stones, and there are still 390,000 stones of grain left in the state and county, which is enough to solve any problem."

"Well, these situations, the official knows, but the official has heard that some businessmen are ready to come to collect grain, such things, the government must come forward to stop it, Yan'an Mansion has just been restored, I don't know what the climate will be next year, the grain must be saved, in addition, after harvesting the grain, the fields can not be barren, must be forced to plant cucumbers, tomatoes, peppers and other vegetables, these must be planted, the people just have food, they have no money to spare, they can't afford to buy salt, etc., there is still a problem, once these vegetables are harvested, You can eat it at home, or you can take it out and trade it to pay back. ”

"The lower officials knew, and the government immediately drafted the documents, but how to collect taxes for this vegetable planting."

Hearing Ma Zhukui say this, Zheng Xunrui couldn't cry or laugh.

"No taxes are collected, all of these belong to the people, what Yan'an Mansion needs now is to release water and raise fish, and the people must gradually settle down, a few days ago, the official heard some old people say, this year's climate is basically back to normal, when summer comes, it must be rainy, so all localities must store a large amount of rainwater, and start to store rainwater from summer to prevent spring drought in the coming year.

Ma Zhukui blushed a little and hurriedly withdrew.

After the winter wheat harvest is complete, the maize begins to be harvested.

When he first carried the seeds, Zheng Xunrui took the yield into account, so he carried 4,000 acres of sweet potato seeds and 1,000 acres of maize seeds.

The yield of maize is indeed not high, the average mu is only about three stones, which is too far worse than Jiangning County, and Yan'an Mansion is windy in spring, and many seedlings are blown down, which is supported by the soldiers of the Zheng family, which consumes too much labor, and is actually a loss.

Although the yield is not very high, but the officials of the government and the county government are still stunned, they have never seen such a high yield of grain, and they have not eaten maize, they don't know what it is, even many soldiers of the Zheng family army don't know what maize is, the harvested maize, Zheng Xunrui ordered to send a stone to the home of each official, let them try it, as a result, this thing quickly became popular in Yan'an Prefecture, boiled and roasted, and can be ground into powder, and steamed to eat, and the effect of the pancake is exactly the same, it is completely able to eat, children especially eat cooked maize, and the rest of the maize is all put in the barracks.

The maize harvest is complete, and the sweet potato harvest season is soon on.

This time, Zheng Xunrui personally measured the yield, and all the soldiers of the Zheng family army were dispatched to help harvest the sweet potato.

The first acre of sweet potatoes were all dug out, Zheng Xunrui calculated very carefully, and what made him unbelievable was that the yield actually reached seventeen stones, which was no worse than that in Jiangning County, and only the sweet potatoes produced by themselves could reach such a high yield, and then the second acre of sweet potatoes had a yield of seventeen stones, or even a little more.

This made Zheng Xunrui ecstatic, is Yan'an Mansion suitable for growing sweet potatoes, he has no experience in this area, and he didn't know it before.

It took seven days to harvest 4,000 acres of sweet potatoes.

In the end, the yield per mu reached seventeen stones.

This fact makes Zheng Xunrui unbelievable.

The harvested sweet potatoes were close to 70,000 stones.

No wonder it has been said that sweet potatoes can save many people, and if this thing had spread earlier, I am afraid that there would not have been so many famines, because its yield is indeed extraordinary.

The harvested sweet potatoes were also given a stone to each official's house, so that everyone could also taste it.

The great success of sweet potatoes made Zheng Xunrui make up his mind to vigorously plant sweet potatoes in various parts of Yan'an Province next year, the yield of sweet potatoes is high, compared with its winter wheat and maize, it has an absolute advantage, as long as there is a bumper harvest in one year, it can solve the problem of many years, it can be said that sweet potatoes can be harvested in one year, which can help resist the famine of two to three years, after all, after the sweet potato is sold, it is real silver.

Sweet potatoes taste better, and many officials quickly get this thing, which is sweet in the mouth, and easy to digest, and can really be eaten.

The yield of sweet potatoes made the officials of the Yamen of Fuzhou County feel that it was a myth, and they could not imagine that the yield of one mu of sweet potatoes exceeded the yield of ten mu of winter wheat.

Ma Zhukui and other officials quickly proposed to the prefect that the cultivation of sweet potatoes could be vigorously promoted in various parts of Yan'an Prefecture in the coming year, and at the same time, the governors and counties of the prefectures and counties also wrote documents to build a large area of sweet potatoes in the coming year.

As for the cost of purchasing sweet potato seeds, the government will bear all the expenses, and after distributing these sweet potato seeds to the people, they will be deducted from the harvest according to the yield.

At this time, Zheng Xunrui's vision turned to the grasslands in the north, last year's blizzard disaster in leap November, it is said that the grassland was more severely affected, the loss of cattle and sheep is innumerable, many tribes are in trouble, one of the largest tribes in the grassland, the Ordos Department, controls the Hetao area, there are a large number of war horses, at this time, it is absolutely no problem to take out the grain and trade war horses with them.

Zheng Xunrui needs war horses, at present he only has 2,300 war horses, the number is far from enough, there are 8,000 soldiers in Guanning Iron Cavalry, and the war horses are said to be more than 10,000, so it is said that the 1,500 Guanning Iron Cavalry led by Cao Wenzhao entered Shaanxi and Shanxi to exterminate the Liukou, and the war horses owned were more than 2,000.

At this time, it is the most suitable time to trade war horses.

Zheng Jinhong, Yang He, Hong Xintao, Hong Xingui and Hong Xinyu and others, commanding the envoy in the public house, listening to Zheng Xunrui's arrangement, Zheng Jiajun sent Yang He and others to Shenmu to contact the businessmen sent to Shenmu by the grassland to discuss the purchase of war horses, this time it must be successful, at least about 3,000 war horses are purchased, what Zheng Jiajun needs is Wuzhumuqin horses, it is better to have Arab war horses, and the rest of the war horses are not needed for the time being.

Zheng Xunrui has this confidence, the 100,000 stone grain handed over to the government by the state and county is basically for the Zheng family's army, with so much grain, it can be exchanged for war horses, I believe that the Ordos Ministry will also agree, after all, they are in the spring famine and need a lot of food to save their lives.
