Busy days always pass quickly, and the spring rain begins to nourish the cursed land, and a group of sergeants take care of a simple wooden carriage and slowly drive towards the farm.

This is Wang Xuan's third visit to the farm, and the plan of the year is in the spring, and when it comes to the sowing season, he wants to have a good fortune.

Six main roads have been built, and the rammed roadbed is paved with a layer of fine gravel, and the stones are covered with a layer of river sand to absorb water and bear the load.

The horse-drawn carriage drove slowly on Nong Dong Street, the easternmost avenue of the farm and the dividing line of the farm, parallel to the Lyuin River. To the west of the road is a wasteland that has been cleared of weeds for the first time, and through the fading rain fog, you can see the undug stumps standing disorderly on the black earth splashed by the rain. The trees on the roadside vary in size and height, the tall ones are because they were originally born on the side of the road, so they are exempt from the fate of being cut down, and the short ones are small saplings transplanted elsewhere to fill the gaps.

The fields to the east of the road are already working in the fields, they are the people who live on the west bank of the Liuyin River, braving the spring rain to plant rice in the rice fields, and from time to time there are a few faint conversations.

The road of the farm is designed with three horizontal and three vertical, the upper side of the trapezoid is Nongbei Road, the lower side is Nongnan Road, and the middle is Nongzhong Road. The hypotenuse on the right side is Nongdong Street where Wang Xuan's motorteam is located, the leftmost side is Nongxi Street built on the corner of the mountain, and the middle is Nongzhong Street that goes down vertically from the hypotenuse.

The guards drove the horse-drawn carriage along Nongnan Road to the west, the southernmost part of the farm, the rice growing area to the north, and the planned orchard to the south. There are four settlements on Nongnam Road, three of which are built at the junction, and about 4,600 people live on this road.

The carriage first circled the farm, and along the way you could observe the progress of the construction of various buildings, most of which were already beginning to take shape and would be completed in a few days.

Officials from the Ministry of Agriculture and the Ministry of Construction, who were in charge of the explanation, said that the construction period has been two days earlier than expected, and farm workers and some residents along the Liuyin River will spontaneously come to help clear the weeds and branches on the ground, and some useless roots and branches will be brought back to dry and used as firewood, and some wild things will be distributed to them.

The construction project of the farm is huge, and many projects in the corners and corners have been subcontracted to nearby villagers, and the village is contracted on a village-by-village basis, such as laundry and cooking, weeds, tree stump cleaning, soil and sand and gravel transportation, etc., and everyone has benefited a lot.

After turning around, Wang Xuan came to the No. 6 residence at the intersection of Nongnan Road and Nongxi Street in the southwest corner, where more than 1,200 people lived. On the side of the hill was garrisoned by an army of about 150 men, a bamboo fence had been built to the northwest corner of the farm, and there was a lookout every kilometer with sergeants on duty.

There are three sergeant stations on Nongxi Street, in addition to the 100 people who are on duty to change the guard, the other sergeants are patrolling in groups of ten people to deal with emergencies on several nearby roads, and Wang Xuan is not uncommon along the way.

The six villages are divided into four groups, distributed in a square on the south side of Nongnan Road, and the middle part is entrenched in the activity center, medical center, school, village administration and other buildings. Each group has its own canteen, and the food is the same, but if you have the ability to catch meat, you can also use the stove in the canteen to process it.

Wang Xuan watched each group and walked into the 'collective dormitory' to visit, and the furniture was complete.

There are two doctors in the medical hall of the six villages, an old man and a young man, and it should be two grandchildren, Wang Xuan asked if the medicinal materials were insufficient, and the old man replied that the commonly used medicinal materials were basically ready, only a few scarce precious medicinal materials.

Wang Xuan was very concerned after hearing this, if the medicinal materials were complete and the doctors were sufficient, Jixiang would now have more than 150,000 people, so he instructed the officials of the Ministry of Agriculture to hurry up the purchase, and human lives should not be sloppy!

The officials of the Ministry of Agriculture were a little heavy, but the hearts of the four groups of people who listened to them were warm.

That night, Wang Xuan and his entourage stayed at the Liucun Guest House.

This is Wang Xuan's first time staying outside, but it is difficult to sleep after tossing and turning, so he simply wears clothes and takes advantage of the moonlight to start spring.

In early spring, the farm lacks the shade of trees, and the breeze is wrapped in earthy moisture to wander through the roads and fields, and the moist air is constantly blowing on the cheeks, making people feel intoxicated.

As you walk along the riverside path, the moonlight spreads over the earth, and the leaves on both sides sing the melody of early spring in the breeze......

Wang Xuan remembered Li Bai's "Silent Night Thoughts", looking at the huge brightness of the sky, he couldn't help but think a thousand times, full of sadness.

It's the end of the world in the blink of an eye, but is it okay, at this moment, have you ever remembered me?

When you look forward to the past, remember this and break people's intestines!

Two lines of tears slid silently down his face, falling on the stubbornly growing blades of grass and suddenly scattered, and the splashed petals shone with a crystal luster against the background of the moonlight, as if telling the pain and loneliness in his heart.

Those who know me say that I am worried, and those who do not know me say what I want.

The original intention of building auspiciousness did not have the purpose of finding the traces of the future generations and comforting the loneliness in the heart?

So far, there is no interest in visiting, lying alone in a lonely bed, letting the thousands of thoughts that fly to control him and slide into the endless abyss!

In the early morning of the next day, Wang Xuanqiang got up and inspected the construction of the ditches on both sides of the main road, the ditches are about three meters away from the main road, and the isolation zone is planned to plant vegetables and fruits to enrich the dining table.

The structure of the ditch is simple, like an inverted trapezoid, and the water depth is shallow but constantly flowing, so Wang Xuan planned to raise fish in the canal, which can also be regarded as a source of meat.

The crowd also thought it was a good idea, as long as enough fry were captured, they could do it.

Then I visited the breeding area, where there were already a lot of pheasants and ducks foraging around, and the newly hatched cubs were shaking and following their mothers, looking around very vigilantly.

There are still some uneaten leftovers in the wild boar's trough, and the piglets eat one by one with round bellies and reluctant to move, lazily lying on the hay basking in the sun.

As the sun grows stronger and the mist evaporates, the scene is thriving and full of life! The sorrow of yesterday has quietly subsided, replaced by endless fighting spirit and hope for a better future.

Lunch was eaten in the garrison canteen, just in time to hunt a female leopard, and it would be a waste not to eat. One of the two cubs that had not yet opened their eyes had died, and the other was not in good condition, so Wang Xuan's compassion took it away and tried to feed it.

On the way, the little leopard was fed some water, and when he returned to the city, he found the lactating cow, and with the help of the cow owner, the little leopard finished eating, and after burping, he fell into a deep sleep.

Wang Xuan was doing his best to obey the fate of heaven, or this little guy was lucky enough to die, but he stubbornly survived, and now what Hua'er has to do every day when she opens her eyes is to run to see the little cutie, very punctual.

The little cutie just opened her eyes yesterday and was cute, and Wang Xuan named her 'Ah Fu', which is a bit of a bad taste.

Because I am worried about the existence of parasites, and I am also afraid that the leopard will hurt the flowers although it is small but wild and untamable, so it is forbidden for the flowers to come into contact with Ah Fu, and usually feed some broth and eggs to eat happily.

At the end of February, Wang Xuan came to the Government Council with Ah Fu in his arms, listened to everyone's arrangements for spring ploughing, and checked and filled in the gaps together.

The news is good, except for the lack of farm tools, everything else is ready, and although there are few livestock, they can be turned by manpower.

"Farm tools are a problem, followed by farming tools, and then animal power, what are your plans?" Wang Xuan frowned, the so-called one person has short skills and three people have long skills, he wants to know everyone's opinions on this matter.

"Back to the Lord, the Ministry of Commerce has calculated that the iron ore exchanged has been more than 100,000 catties, can it be smelted to make some agricultural tools for farming?" replied the Minister of Agriculture.

"Yes, but we have to build an ironworks first. "It's a lot of money.

Wang Xuan was still hesitating, but only confirmed the daily exchange volume of iron ore.

According to the exchange agreement, the exchange ratio between coal mine and iron ore is 3:2, and 5,000 catties of iron ore are transported to Chiyan Coal Mine every day, and 3,300 catties of iron ore are exchanged for it, which is really pitiful. The iron yield of refined iron ore is only seventy percent, and according to the auspicious existing technology, fifty percent is to burn high incense.

"Increase the number of exchanges, increase the number of mining and transportation personnel, and at least reach the scale of exchange of 10,000 catties every day. Don't forget that Red Flame has always coveted my auspiciousness, and once the other party terminates the transaction, we will have no iron available, so we need to reserve it as soon as possible. ”

"The Propaganda Department will immediately release recruitment information to recruit more than 1,000 miners and transport personnel, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will implement with Chiyan as soon as possible to increase the number of exchanges. ”

Li Ming of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was very straightforward, saying that he would follow the coal transport team to Chiyan again for negotiations, and at the same time, Li Guang also issued a military order, saying that the workers would be recruited within three days.

As a direct effect of the writ, there were no more groups of idlers in the city, and they had a glorious job: miners.

Although the miners are tired but their wages are not low, the coolies have one gold coin per month, and the annual income of the bonus is thirty or forty gold coins, which is more than enough to feed the family.

In order to prevent misunderstanding by his family, Li Guang and the staff of the newly established employment office visited each household, and the family members did not have antagonistic feelings, and the government helped them manage their children, which was also a good deed, and they went to work in the factory instead of going to prison, and the people who have survived since the beginning of the desert are not weak people psychologically or physically.
