All kinds of materials for the first phase of construction continue to gather in Jixiang City from all directions, and the inland river transport ships of the Guo family have also carried out three shifts to maximize the use of the ship's capacity to support the construction of the new city.

The leaders who had a little spare time also spontaneously went to the new city construction headquarters to wait for the dispatch, perhaps for one day for free, or for three days or five days.

Ordered fishing gear accessories have arrived one after another, piling up in the front yard of the lord's mansion. The internal guards took only half a day to assemble this batch of fishing gear according to Wang Xuan's demonstration. Wang Xuan asked the Ministry of Agriculture to be responsible for setting up a fishing team, summoning retired disabled soldiers to join the fishing army, and the security team was responsible for transporting them to the canteens of various construction sites.

Wang Xuan led the first batch of recruited 'anglers' to the Xingyao River, lined up in turn on the west bank, he personally made a demonstration, hung the bait (meat and vegetarian) on the hook and threw it into the river, adjusted the position of the fish float according to the depth of the river, and caught a one-foot-long carp after a while.

Everyone was both novel and excited to see this, and they were all eager to try.

A thousand fishing rods represent a thousand people, and they must not all be crowded in one place, Wang Xuan divided them into two groups, a group of 600 people arranged along the Xingyao River, moving from upstream to downstream to change places every day. Another 400 people were arranged to live on the Lyuin River and its tributaries, which also changed locations every day.

As the fishing gear is damaged, the fishing time will gradually increase, and some of the surplus manpower will be involved in the transportation of food, and some will go to the canteen to do chores.

The number of workers in the first phase of construction is 9,000 to 10,000, and eight people sit on a square table during the meal, with four dishes, one soup, three vegetables and one meat, and the rice is full. Wang Xuan plans to use fish as a meat dish for lunch or dinner to reduce the pressure on the meat supply.

According to the analysis of the results of the last fishing, the fish in the Xingyao River are generally about two catties to ten catties, two at a table are enough for eight people, and the fishing team can meet everyone's nutritional needs by catching three per person every day.

The day of the start of construction of the new city is getting closer and closer, and the people are getting busier and busier. The seeds of the new season have been planted early, and now it is the grain tax that pays the grain tax, and the business tax that pays the business tax, and tries to complete these chores before the construction of the new city as much as possible, so as not to add trouble to the young master and the government.

At the end of July, Yin, Hedong vegetable acquisition point.

"Don't worry, there are signs for acquisition next to each road, line up in each lane according to the requirements of the signs, one is vegetables, two is fruits, and three is meat, don't be in a hurry, don't squeeze, take your time. ”

The officials of the logistics department worked hard to direct the order of the scene, and their voices were a little hoarse after shouting for a long time, and if they were not careful, they thought that the wild ducks for sale were calling, and they were harmonious with the lively scene.

Yang Liu, the daughter-in-law of Yang Er in the fifth group of a village, also rushed over with a flat shoulder, and what he wanted to sell was all kinds of vegetables grown in the front yard, full of two large baskets, which should only be a small part according to the planting area in her front yard.

Since their family came to Jixiang, they have lived a very comfortable and comfortable life, if they go to the collective union to provide food and drink, if they do some odd jobs, the two of them can earn ten silver coins of eight coins a month. The son doesn't have to worry about learning from the lord, but he doesn't know whether he is learning good or bad, but he has been homesick. It's a pity that the two poles and stones were not chosen, otherwise they would have a good company with Mao Ya.

The grain of the first season has been harvested, and the remaining rice after paying the rent (tax) fills an entire west wing. Their family has a small population, and they are worried that they will not be able to plant rice again in the second season, so they plan to plant some wheat in a way that saves trouble, and once the village recruits each other, it will be easy to pull away.

Finally it was her turn, and the clerk who received the goods gave Yang Liu a total of one silver coin and two copper coins according to the type and weight of the vegetables, and she thanked her vigorously.

On the way home, Yang Liu met Liu Yao, a young widow who had been a guest at his house when he first came to Jixiang, and remembered that she had two clever children and a mother-in-law with leg problems.

At this time, Liu Yao carried a burden, which was full of planted greens and amaranth picked in the wild, and politely stopped to say hello after seeing Yang Liu, the two of them had a pleasant greeting, Liu Yao asked the price of vegetables and politely said goodbye to Yang Liu.

There are also three places in Jixiang City, a similar purchase point, and everyone sells a variety of things, including vegetables, eggs, fish, wild fruits and some uncommon game, and almost all the old and weak women and children in the family go out to pick wild vegetables and pick wild fruits.

Seongnam Farm, No. 9 Farm.

The staff is loading all kinds of eggs, and today's task is about to be completed, the slaughtered livestock has been transported, and everyone can return to the city to rest after settling the accounts.

The second batch of cattle, sheep and horses that bought Hu Yue have already returned to Jixiangling, and they are still adapting to the climate and environment, and those who are eliminated will be served as meat on the table.

Feng Qiangzhi and his entourage set off again, this time it was still the original team of ten people, and it was still five thousand gold coins and ten sets of porcelain.

In view of the excellent performance of the first two times, the Ministry of Agriculture promised to give them two sets of commercial street stores in Xincheng, which is regarded as a joint venture of ten people. This shop is not cheap, each set is scheduled to sell for between 50 and 100 gold coins, and with the development of auspiciousness, the appreciation of the store will become larger and larger, and even a set of 200 or 300 gold coins is not uncommon.

Although the passenger flow of restaurants and teahouses is a little less, it is a lot of money, and the people who consume are all contractors, contractors and businessmen, who are very generous.

The Guo family also reached an agreement with the logistics department to supply meat on a regular basis, and they would buy livestock from Daxia to meet the auspicious demand for meat.

In order to enrich the dining table, Wang Xuan also tried to breed mushrooms and fungus, and the location was in the backyard of the eldest sister Wang Bi's house.

It is divided into areas of similar size by plates, piled with wheat stalks, dead grass, and manure from farm animals, mixed with a small amount of lime, and mycelium is collected from the wild mushrooms that everyone eats to sow seeds, and water them regularly.

I don't know if I can grow into it, but it's important to try.

Mushrooms don't like sunlight, so they put some rotten wood above the breeding area in an orderly manner, and sprinkle straw and sawdust on top of the wood to sprinkle water regularly, Wang Xuan wants to use this way to let them grow fungus naturally. Once effective, a special greenhouse will be built for batch breeding, and it is salivating to think about it.

After the rape was harvested, it was dried on the field for several days, and some of the grains were fried due to the late harvest. The rape in the field is threshing, and the sieve sieves the soil and transports it back to the farm warehouse for storage, waiting for the oil to be extracted.

The hunters were told to divide the hunting area into groups, but Wang Xuan set the rules for hunting: do not kill pregnant prey, do not kill prey with cubs, and do not kill female prey that is not dangerous. The requirements are a bit much, but there are more prey to choose from.

The farm garrison was also pushing westward, and their faces had become rosy due to the abundant supply of meat. In addition to supplying their own needs, the meat caught every day is sold in large quantities to the logistics department, but 90% of the money obtained must be handed over, of which 50% is used for the bereavement of the dead and wounded brothers, and the rest is distributed among everyone.

The developed area in Hedong is relatively small, and there are many hares, pheasants, and wild boars in the south of the village and near Dongshanjiao, and many people have started their ideas, hoping to exchange some money for some property to buy some industries. However, it is also more dangerous, and it is rare to act alone.

But the most important thing is the wild boar, and no one knows how much is hidden in the dense grass at the foot of the mountain. In this area, they have basically no natural predators, and the population is huge, and they grow fat and strong. On the one hand, Wang Xuan sent additional manpower support, and on the other hand, he urgently ordered a batch of hunting tools from the hardware factory.

As for the wild boar cubs caught, they were bought by the newly established Hedong farm, castrated and kept in captivity.

This farm was proposed by Mr. Gu, and all five villages participated. After the request for the construction of the factory was sent to the Ministry of Agriculture, Aihua communicated with Zheng San many times, and finally agreed to build it, but did not allocate funds.

The people of Hedong didn't care about this allocation, so they spontaneously organized and built it. With the increase of immigrants, the pace of development in Hedong will also be faster and faster, and the demand for meat will gradually increase, which can be regarded as a rainy day and strive for self-sufficiency. However, the name is very earthy, and it is directly called Hedong Wild Boar Farm.

In order to castrate the wild boars, they also specially invited two female "experts" from Chengnan Farm to come to guide, which opened the eyes of the villagers. "Experts" are employees of farms, and if they choose to leave the government after another year, they will be assigned new jobs and new housing, and if they are not satisfied with the government, they will be converted into gold coins, and the good treatment will make people jealous.

Piglets are basically castrated around half a month after birth. The advantage of this is that it does not affect the growth, and the castrated wild boar will grow heavier than the non-castrated wild boar, and it will reduce the fishy smell, and the temperament is mild and better breeding. If it grows bigger, the castration wound is easy to infect, not to mention, the growth is not as fast as expected.

In addition to setting up collective farms, Hedong also started vegetable planting projects, mainly planting on the roadside, riverside, and land. The village has a 30 tax, and the Ministry of Finance and Taxation will no longer collect it separately, which is regarded as the welfare of the villages in Hedong.

The population in Hexi is much denser than in Hedong, and it is impossible to grow vegetables in a large area, so we have to develop the idle land in the yard to grow some beans, cabbage, wild leeks, lettuce, celery, etc., which can be used for personal use, and can also make some oil money after selling.

Vegetables on the market are also scarce, from the discovery of wild leeks during the time Wang Xuan asked the Ministry of Agriculture to buy seeds from Daxia, Hu Yue, Western Zhou and other places, and at the same time launched the "looking for auspicious new vegetables" plan, wild edible vegetables are not a few, if developed artificial planting is enough to meet the daily needs of mascots.

Now people with conditions will plant some cucumbers, melons and loofahs, of course, this is the name, but there are still some differences in the real thing.

Now there are two grapes in Wang Xuan's backyard, and the fruit is a faint green color, and it is estimated that it will be picked in another ten days.

Now the flowers drool over the grapes all day long, stealing one from time to time to eat it, and after being sour, she called her brother to lie to her.

The main supply area of eggs is also Seongnam Farm, which is partly used for breeding and partly for food. Wang Xuan believes that after continuous artificial breeding, wild poultry will definitely change to poultry, as for the length of time, there is no need to care, anyway, they do not plan to be raised as pets, their final destination is still the dining table.

Various fruit trees were planted along the secondary and tertiary roads of the farm, which was a pilot project, and the Ministry of Agriculture used grafting methods to improve fruit varieties at the request of Wang Xuan.

Nowadays, the most planted orange trees are estimated to be about two years before they bear fruit, followed by star fruit and mangosteen, which are still early to bear fruit.

Wang Xuan believes that early preparation, willingness to pay, and diligent study will eventually pay off.
