Lin Ruan stayed in the barracks until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and then returned to the county seat with his people.

There is a thick layer of snow everywhere, and spring in northern Xinjiang comes very late, and the land will not begin to thaw until the third lunar month.

So Lin Ruan still has more than two months to carefully refine his plan.

After returning to the county seat, Lin Ruan called the Ma County Order and began to formulate a detailed plan.

Ma Xian Ling originally had only a vague idea of the development of Chongguan County, and in the days when he made a plan with Lin Ruan, he knew how great Lin Ruan's plan was.

If all the plans can be turned into reality, then the northern Xinjiang will be turned upside down. This huge, barren land, which has always been unfavorable, will become a cornucopia!

Because Lin Ruan's plan is too detailed, from manpower, land, to reclamation and planting, to the processing, transportation, and sales of agricultural products, an industrial chain has been completely formed. At that time, all the things that the people of Northern Xinjiang collect from the land every year will become real money!

Lin Ruan said that the climate in northern Xinjiang is very suitable for growing all kinds of melons and fruits, but because the distance is too long, fresh fruits cannot be transported to other parts of the Great Zhou, even if the cement road is repaired. After all, the road is there, no matter how good the road is, there are no motor vehicles, and more problems cannot be solved.

Therefore, she planned to let the people of northern Xinjiang grow fruits that can be made into various preserved fruits, such as grapes, apricots, plums, persimmons, and dates. Fruits that can withstand long-distance transportation are apples and pears, as well as watermelons and other thick-skinned fruits.

The crops are mainly cotton, bud rice, wheat, sorghum and sweet potato.

Among them, cotton is a crop to be grown in large quantities.

Cotton is a relatively scarce material for the Great Zhou, because the textile industry is inseparable from this raw material, but the arable land of the Great Zhou is not too much, and the people are reluctant to take the land to grow cotton, after all, food is more important.

And the most important thing in northern Xinjiang is land.

The area is sparsely populated, and the living and cultivated area of the people accounts for only a very small part of northern Xinjiang, perhaps even less than one-tenth. The remaining nine-tenths of the land is idle.

In northern Xinjiang, water is scarce, plants grow slowly, soil erosion is becoming more and more serious, and the situation of land desertification cannot be ignored. Making full use of the land in northern Xinjiang will not only enable more people to live a good life on the land, but also effectively prevent desertification.

In addition, it is necessary to vigorously develop animal husbandry.

The grasslands in northern Xinjiang are also rich in resources, and it is best to raise cattle and sheep. Cattle and sheep can be used for credit, cattle and sheep skins are also of great use, and cattle and sheep manure can be used as fertilizer.

These are all important events that benefit the country and the people.

Ma Xianling was so excited several times that he lost his mind, and even lost sleep for several days, eager to thaw in spring immediately, and followed Lin Ruan to roll up his sleeves and do a big job.

In the late second month of the lunar calendar, Lin Ruan took Fei Fu and Luo Ying, and took a golden eagle at night to Lingnan.

The purpose of their trip was to go to Lingnan to grow grapes.

To be exact, vines and fruit trees of all kinds.

The location is naturally the same as the place where she planted food before, after all, it is a ready-made place, and she only needs to clean up casually to start planting.

The vines are wild grapes that Lin Ruan found from the mountains. It is not difficult to change the genes and varieties of grapes.

A vine is planted, and the ability produces countless branches, then cuts it off, inserts it into the soil, and uses the ability to make them take root.

Other fruit trees are even better, directly let the fruit tree grow to the maximum, bear countless fruits, the fruit ripe and fall to the ground, without waiting for the fruit to rot, the ability directly makes those fruit pits important germination, and soon grows into a straight and straight little sapling, each small sapling is only as thin as a little finger.

Under normal circumstances, such a sapling takes two years to grow.

Fortunately, Chongguan County is not big, and Lin Ruan does not need to prepare many saplings, this sapling, Lin Ruan directly asked the golden eagle to help transport it back to Northern Xinjiang, and then found a place in a mountain to replant, and then asked Ma Xian Ling to take people over to dig, only saying that when he came to Northern Xinjiang a few years earlier, he already had an idea, so he let people cultivate these saplings in advance.

This rhetoric moved Ma Xianling beyond measure.

It turned out that the princess had already paid attention to the northern frontier three years ago, and without anyone knowing, she began to make preparations.

Ma Xian Ling knelt down on the spot, and kowtowed to Lin Ruan three times on behalf of the people of Chongguan County, thanking her for her dedication to Chongguan County.

Lin Ruan was embarrassed by his honest performance, she just made up such a reason in order not to make people suspicious, but she didn't expect Ma County Ling to thank her so solemnly.

But she is not weak-hearted, anyway, her identity is there, and she can withstand the three rings of Ma County's order.

At the beginning of March, spring came in northern Xinjiang, and the earth thawed.

The people of the prefecture, who had been at home for half a year, began to appear in the fields.

The croppers pushed the manure of the winter in a cart and ran to the field with joy, scattering the manure on the ground.

The princess said that the fertilizer should be used in the original fields first, so as to ensure this year's harvest.

Anyway, composting is not difficult, it only takes a few months to get a lot of fertilizer, this year first raise the land for a year, next year to catch up with the fertilizer, you can increase the yield.

Nowadays, the people of Chongguan County take Lin Ruan's words as their code of conduct, and the people will do whatever Lin Ruan says, and they will obey absolutely.

This made Lin Ruan also very satisfied, everyone's hearts gathered together, and their strength was all in one place, where was they afraid that they would not be able to do anything.

At the beginning of March, the peasant officials sent by the imperial court arrived in northern Xinjiang, along with dozens of truckloads of grain seeds and the first payment allocated by the imperial court.

In mid-March, the first batch of fruit tree seedlings was transported back to Chongguan County, and the people gathered at the county government to line up to receive fruit tree seedlings, 100 grape seedlings per family, and 20 other fruit tree seedlings each.

When the fruit saplings were collected, the Ma County Order put up a notice for each family to send someone to fulfill the promise of receiving coal in winter.

Dig canals, build houses, and reclaim wasteland.

The people are not bad at paying their bills, and every household has contributed manpower. The men went to work for the yamen, and the women stayed at home to cultivate the original land.

The people of the whole county were mobilized, even those three or four-year-old children, who were not idle at home, and all ran to the fields to pull weeds and catch insects.

The lime mine under Matou Mountain has also begun to be officially mined, and the cement plant has also entered the construction.

Chongguan County is a busy scene, and you can see busy figures everywhere.

And the atmosphere on the Beijiangwei side is also becoming more and more tense.
