Chapter 125: The Feng Family's Army's Military Rations

Feng Xianling did not monopolize this credit, which is a good thing for him, and the king of Youwang sent someone to the Dong family, which means that the initiative is in his own hands.

At this time, he also had to sigh in his heart that he had caught up with a good time, not only met a good county order, but also caught up with a good court.

Less than 40 years after the establishment of the Daxi Dynasty, the court and officialdom were still a thriving scene, and he believed that his family's contribution was enough to go down in history. And he, Dong Changhe, will also enter a new course of life!

"How many acres of land can be planted with 30,000 catties of seeds? How much can be harvested in autumn? Feng Xianling asked.

"One hundred acres of land, if all are fertilized, the minimum harvest can be 200,000 catties." Dong Changhe replied quickly.

"What about the sweet potatoes of ten acres of land? Can you really harvest these potatoes with the next season? Feng Xianling asked again.

He had already gone to the sweet potato field just now to see it, and the growth was gratifying. Although this sweet potato has a long ripening period, it is also desirable.

When it was time to play the fold, Feng Xianling planned to mention it in passing.

"Well, harvesting together with the next season's potatoes, you can probably harvest at least 20,000 catties, all of which are reserved, and you can plant seventy acres of land in the coming year." This is also estimated by Dong Changhe.

"Okay, so, let's bring some sweet potatoes this time, as well as the noodles and noodles." Feng Xian Ling clapped the board.

"No problem, there are still some at home, in the cellar, but not much."

"It's okay, prepare more potatoes, and by the way, write me the planting method and precautions." Feng Xianling said with a smile.

At this time, Steward Zou came to say, "My lord, my lord, my mother has prepared a meal, let the little one come and ask when the banquet can be held?" ”

"Now!" Dong Changhe glanced at Feng Xianling and replied.

"Okay, let's go down and arrange it for the little one!" Steward Zou respectfully stepped back.

This real potato feast was an eye-opener for those present, although Feng Xianling had already tasted it during the Chinese New Year, but the potatoes that had just been unearthed from the ground tasted even more delicious.

At the same time, it also made Feng Xianling realize that potatoes can not only be eaten as vegetables, but also as staple food, and this economic value is immeasurable.

He didn't expect that less than a year after arriving in Changhai County, he would make such achievements!

The salt field is an important source of military salary for the Feng family's army, and King Youwang attaches great importance to it. The reason why he was able to go to Changhai County as an official was to help King Youwang take care of the salt works here and ensure the military salary of the Feng family's army.

He came here and it took him less than a year to get things done with the salt works.

It was also an accident to meet Dong Changhe, I didn't expect him to bring such a big surprise to myself!

When he had a deep conversation with King You, King You also said that he hoped to make achievements in his fiefdom in the future.

Now it seems that he and the King of Darkness are lucky.

Potatoes and sweet potatoes have been popularized on a large scale, and the military rations of the Feng family army are worry-free!

You must know that the Fengjia army is the guarantee of the stability of the northern frontier.

In recent years, the grain in the Central Plains has been supplied to the Fengjia army, which is also a very heavy burden for the imperial court.

If the north can solve the problem of military rations by itself, then this credit will be enough to go down in history.

At this time, the Youwang was suppressing bandits in the mountains. When he came to the Feng Family Army, he bent his bow to shoot the enemy for the first time, and he faced the cruelty of the battlefield for the first time, and he was more mature and capable than a few months ago.

The little boy has a more decisive temperament. He calmly commanded the group of soldiers under him to slowly surround the bandits' cottage, and before the outlying guards had time to react, they were taken down one by one......

This season is the time when the mountains are in full bloom, and Xue'er recently followed Aunt Lu to learn to make rouge.

In modern times, she has also learned some from her grandmother, which is similar to the practice here in ancient times, except that Aunt Lu taught it more systematically.

The day is done with lip balm, and the method is very simple.

Pick some fresh petals, wash them, dry them, and dry them into dried flowers. It is then finely ground into powder, finely sifted, and soaked in vegetable oil.

Wait a few days for the pollen to fully blend with the vegetable oil before use.

The beeswax prepared in advance is heated and dissolved, then mixed with grease in a ratio of one to four, and finally poured into a rouge jar, cooled and ready to use.

This all-natural lipstick can be blended according to personal preference, and the color of the flower determines the color of the rouge.

In modern times, Cher likes to wear light makeup, and her favorite is the rouge she makes herself.

And the rouge she is tinkering with now is just for the Yun family who likes to dress up, and the Yun family also smiled and said, "From now on, my mother doesn't have to spend money to buy rouge!" ”

Because there were more than 20 people in the family at once, although the Yun family knew that this was necessary, they were also worried about the family's silver, so this year, in the process of ripening various fruits one after another, the Yun family took the subordinates of the family to make more canned food.

It was also because the Dong family's canned food sold so well last year, and the merchant ordered more than twice as much canned fruit as last year with Dong Changhe this year.

Dong Changhe also fired the exclusive trademark of "Dong's" on a customized clay pot at Xue'er's suggestion.

And the clay pot of each canned food is also fired with different fruit patterns, so buyers can see at a glance, as long as they look at the outer packaging, they know what kind of canned fruit is inside.

Another thing that makes Cher happy this year is that the ewe she serves gave birth to two lambs two days ago.

Out of curiosity, Xue'er also watched the whole process herself, although it was a little bloody, but it also allowed her to learn new knowledge.

It turns out that the newborn lamb must peel off part of the soft shell at the bottom of its hooves in order for the lamb to stand up in the first place.

Looking at the animal world, those herbivorous animals are born to stand and run immediately in order to survive. It seems that there is also a mistake.

Summers in Changhai County are not so hot, perhaps due to the influence of the ocean, summers are not so sad.

Especially this year, you can move to the second floor to live, you don't need to live on the fire, the windows on the second floor are open at night, the cool breeze is blowing, and you need to cover the thin quilt at night so that you don't feel too cold.

Lao Diao is worthy of being a servant of flowers and plants, after his care, the newly planted flowers and trees in the yard are more prosperous, and he also planted some flowers and plants in the yard to repel mosquitoes and flies.

He also reasonably replanted some flowers and trees, making the whole Dong Mansion more flavorful than before!

The lotus flowers in the lotus pond in the northwest corner are already in full bloom, and the fish released in it are also well raised.

Dong Changhe did not buy fish fry, and the fish in the lotus pond were all caught by Lao Diao himself in the Huitou River and Tanshui River.

He also caught a lot of shrimp and crabs, as well as a few kings.

Yun had time this year, and took the female dependents of the family to raise silkworms in the mountains, and also picked a lot of mountain goods back, except for the edible ones, all the rest were dried.
