Yu Wenze listened to Zhang Xiaoxue's proposal, and he was also very moved.

Judging from the fact that potatoes can mature after three months of planting, as long as Sister Xiaoxue helps transport the slaves to the border to clear the wasteland this time and saves time on the road, won't she be able to harvest a crop this year?

After all, you can harvest an extra crop, and with the yield per mu of potatoes, Yu Wenze doesn't dare to think about how much grain will be lost if he delays this season.

"Then, according to what Sister Xiaoxue said, I have to bother you to make a few more trips. ”

Yu Wenze spoke with a little embarrassment.

"Hey, this little favor is nothing, Brother Ze don't be polite to me.

You also know, and I don't have to work hard for anything, that is, I move my mouth.

Anyway, the speed of the RV is very fast, and it can't delay much time. ”

Zhang Xiaoxue waved her hand, so that Yu Wenze didn't have to be so polite to her.

"Then let's go and say goodbye to my father and mother, and send the slaves to the border as soon as possible." ”

"Good. ”

Zhang Xiaoxue agreed with a smile, and went with Yu Wenze to bid farewell to the queen mother and the emperor.

At this point in time, the emperor also took a lunch break at the Renhe Palace, and did not go to the front hall to deal with government affairs.

"Aze, why are you leaving at this time, it's afternoon, it's not too late for you to leave tomorrow morning, and you can set up a family banquet for you to practice tonight."

Yesterday, your second brother also told me that the reason why he didn't leave in a hurry was that in addition to recuperating from his injuries, he planned to leave the imperial city and rush back to the fiefdom on the same day as you. ”

Hearing that the youngest son was about to rush back to the fiefdom, the queen mother was actually reluctant in her heart, and only thought about letting her sons stay one more day.

"Your queen mother is right, it's already afternoon, you better stay one more night, it's not too late to leave tomorrow morning, set up a banquet in the evening, let's get together again." ”

The emperor also opened his mouth to persuade.

Although the Yuwen family has ancestral teachings, the sons who already have fiefs are not allowed to stay in the imperial city for more than except on major festivals and imperial summons.

This time it can be regarded as a reason, and his sons were also recalled by him, so if he stays for a few more days, he has no opinion at all.

These two sons who have sealed their fiefs, he also knows better.

Although the two have different personalities, the two of them have no other thoughts about the position of the crown prince.

Otherwise, neither of them would be willing to risk their lives to save their eldest brother.

If it weren't for Sister Xiaoxue's help to transport the slaves to the other side of the border, she would have reclaimed the wasteland and planted potatoes as soon as possible.

Yu Wenze is also willing to stay and get together with his family again.

Because of this idea, Yu Wenze only thought that it was better to go to the border as soon as possible, and not to delay the time to plant potatoes.

It just so happens that this time I can also tell my father what I think, and I think I will definitely be able to get my father's support.

"Father, mother, it's like this, I have an idea in my heart, and I am in a hurry to go to carry it out, thinking that it is better to go earlier. ”

"What do you think, let Aze go in such a hurry?" the queen asked, puzzled.

"This time, I originally wanted to go to the Seven Lotus Mountain Range, didn't I plan to bring five hundred slaves with martial arts?

Now that they have recognized me as Lord, they will naturally take me with them to my fiefdom when they leave.

I didn't use them this time, so I wondered what I was going to do with them going back to the fiefdom.

Suddenly, I thought of the large barren land on the other side of the border, and no one cultivated the wasteland to grow food, so I thought that it would be better to arrange these 500 slaves to go to the border side to open up the wasteland and cultivate the land.

It just so happens that this time Sister Xiaoxue can also provide some potato seeds.

The yield per mu of potatoes is also known to the emperor, and the growth period of potatoes is very short, and it only takes three months to harvest.

At this time, if the slaves were allowed to rush to the border to clear the wasteland and plant potatoes, they should be able to harvest a season of potatoes before the frost this year.

Of course, this time is also a bit tight, if you go back late, the potatoes planted on the wasteland are not ripe before the frost, which will definitely affect a lot of yields.

That's why I'm in a hurry to take the slaves back, so that they can go to the border and clear the wasteland sooner. ”

"It's a good idea to open up the land on the other side of the border, and let the soldiers patrol more often, so that the crops they want to plant will not be wasted.

Relying on the proximity of the army, the grain and grass harvested at that time can be partially solved in the army nearby. ”

The emperor listened to Yu Wenze's idea, and he also thought it was a good idea in his heart.

Fortunately, with this kind of high-yield potato seeds provided by the lord of Xueshan County as a guarantee, it will not make people worry that the grains will not be harvested at that time, and the effort will be in vain.

"Father, I think so, I plan to turn all the newly reclaimed wasteland into military land.

After the army has finished training in peacetime, soldiers can also be organized to take turns to go to the field to take care of the crops planted.

As time goes by, I want to expand the military fields more and more, not only to grow enough grain and grass for the whole army to eat.

In addition, I also hope that the surplus grain can be shipped to the interior for sale, and exchanged for silver taels to purchase military supplies.

In this way, there will also be a part of the excess military expenditure to arm the army and strengthen the army. ”

"Haha, my son's idea is good, so let's implement it from your Northwest Army first.

If this method is good, let the other armies, like your Northwest Army, learn from it, and reclaim some uncultivated wasteland as military land.

It would be best if every army could grow food next to its station, and it would be able to be self-sufficient.

If this method can be successful, the annual military expenditure saved will not be a small expenditure.

Now the slaves don't have to be idle in the slave department to eat idle food, they have to be quickly counted how many slaves there are, and then they will be arranged to go to the wasteland and farm.

In my opinion, it would be better to allocate you another 500 slaves, and gather 1,000 slaves to reclaim the wasteland, so that the scale can be expanded more quickly. ”

The more the emperor spoke, the more excited he became, thinking that the potato seeds provided by Zhang Xiaoxue could grow well on the newly reclaimed wasteland, and now he wished that the more slaves there were, the better.

Yu Wenze heard that his father had allocated him another 500 slaves, because he wanted them to go to the border to reclaim wasteland and grow food, and now he naturally would not be disgusted.

"Thank you, father, then I will rush to the Slave Division and select another five hundred slaves. ”

"Okay, this thing is like you said, the sooner the better, hurry up and reclaim the wasteland and plant the potato seeds provided by the lord of Xueshan.

Don't forget to tell me about the planting situation at that time, and when the potatoes are harvested, you must quickly send me the yield back, so that I don't worry too much about it here. ”

"Yes, father, you just wait for the good news from your sons. ”
