Chapter 301: The Mountains and Forests Change to the New Master (4)

Qi saw that he would accept it, waved his hand casually, and made a look of indifference.

"It's all in the past, it's not worth being angry about the past, anyway, I'm a peasant woman with a little field now, and my life is boundless." Qi Ke shook his head, happy from the bottom of his heart.

"Okay, just think about it, it's good." Bai Qing nodded slightly, not dwelling on the past, it is indeed good.

"Don't patronize yourself, the gunpowder test site I mentioned last time is not within the scope of this title deed?" Cheng Feng brought the topic back to business.

"It must be here, it will take several days to walk around the range on this drawing, and the gunpowder test site is only half a Tianshan road, otherwise I will not have enough time to go back and forth in a day." Qi Ke nodded honestly, "The Sizhi map gives the boundary of the four directions, and you have to go a few times to find out if there are any boundary stakes laid by the Shen clan before." ”

"Now you are the landlord, you can arrange the mountain patrol yourself, take advantage of the sunny weather in the past two days, you take us to the test site to have a look." Bai Qing and Cheng Feng have been thinking about this matter, and they want to see something, and they know it in their hearts, so they can report it.

"Okay." Qi Ke didn't shirk either, and the matter was decided.

The conversation talked about now, Qi Ke estimated that the chicken breast should be almost marinated, got up and went to the kitchen to fry the meat and cook noodles, the kitchen that was messed up when making pastries before had been cleaned up by the diligent village women, and the fragrance of her fried chicken wafted out, which soon attracted many people to watch and learn, and helped her bring three bowls of fragrant noodles to the house.

The deluxe version of beef bone soup noodles has vegetables, braised eggs, beef, fried eggs and fried chicken breasts, the meat is served in bowls, and the large portions for Baiqing and Chengfeng are cooked according to their rice amounts, and there is no need to say a word of politeness, the bowl served to the table is empty anyway, and the soy sauce used to decorate the omelette is poured into the bowl and mixed with noodles.

After eating noodles, the two went out for a stroll to eat, and chatted with the two village chiefs about the idea of spring sowing, this place in the south, after the New Year, you have to start waiting for the land to prepare for sowing, and where there are two crops a year, you have to be diligent in agricultural affairs, and you can't delay, and the military households can talk about what they still lack, and the army will unify to think of a way.

This chat is not very good, there is no shortage of farm tools, Qi Ke is going to come so many craftsmen, the number of farm tools cast by the Tao Fan method is considerable, the villagers are enough, and the excess can be sent to Erma Town for unified turnover scheduling.

The more troublesome is the shortage of ploughing cattle, they go all the way from north to south, many cattle die on the long journey, the number of ploughing cattle is also affected, in this Siliu Village, the old cow of Qi Ke is only worth six ploughing cattle, it is not enough at all, and the service horses can also plough the land, but the endurance and strength of the horses are slightly inferior to the cattle, and the cattle eat grass and horses eat grain, and it is obviously not cost-effective to use horses to plough the land.

The shortage of ploughing cattle has been stabbed to the root, and there is an even greater shortage of grain, the military households of the Baijia army are used to eating wheat, and the locals eat more rice, but they will also grow wheat, because they want to make pasta and pastries, but they heard the news brought by the merchants who came to buy vegetables, this year's floods, many farmers ignored the ban of the government, and ate the grain in order not to starve to death.

Spring sowing is not a problem, the question is where the cattle and grain come from.

This problem is a big headache, Bai Qing decided to throw this matter to his father and grandfather to worry about it, and asked the court for grain, but this north is even drought and flooding in the south, and the whole country is short of food, and it is difficult to say how much grain the court can allot.

Bai Qing sighed silently in his heart, and looked at Cheng Feng with a wry smile.
