Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, spring goes to summer, summer goes to autumn, and it is the harvest season again. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Werewolves often lacked food, and they also developed the habit of cherishing food, and previous invasions slaughtered the Terrans without mercy, but did not wreak havoc on other fields except for the unavoidable fields on the way.

The grain output of Yangguan City, Xihe City, and Donghe City has decreased a lot compared with previous years, but because of the loss of nearly 300,000 people in the war, the grain in Xihe City is distributed to other cities, and there is no food crisis for the time being.

And Songhai City has a newly cultivated 30,000 acres of land, and the werewolves have not entered the territory, because of the new field, the output is not much, but it has also increased more than 30,000 stone of grain, plus the tax grain of the four cities, so that the treasury has increased 80,000 stone of grain.

After several months of hard work, Shi Xie has completely secured the position of Xu Shu's deputy, and is reporting the situation to Shaoyang, in addition to the new grain harvest, there is also a follow-up plan to reclaim wasteland.

"Your Majesty, after the autumn harvest, the Tuntian Army can reclaim the wasteland again, with the experience at the beginning of the year, it should be able to reclaim 350,000 acres of wasteland again before winter, but the wasteland near Songhai City has been almost reclaimed, and it is estimated that if you open about 10,000 acres again, it will be far away from the city. ”

In order to ensure the safety of the people outside the city, the villages were moved to the vicinity of the city, and the wasteland reclaimed by Songhai City was also carried out around the city, which was convenient for cultivation and harvesting, and it was not very convenient if it was far away.

"What are the plans of the Department of Agriculture?" asked Shaoyang. He trusted that the Department of Agriculture, which was responsible for agriculture, must have come up with a response.

"The Department of Agriculture has given two sets of plans, one of which is to continue to reclaim wasteland and establish warehouses in the field. Another set is that after Songhai City reclaims another 10,000 acres of wasteland, it will go to other cities to reclaim, at least this year and next year without worrying about this problem. When the time comes, the first set of plans will be implemented. ”

"Then let's go and reclaim the wastelands of other cities, starting with Wilderness City. Shaoyang thought about it and chose the second set of plans.

In fact, the two sets of regulations have little impact on the convenience of cultivation and yield, and the reason for this decision is due to other considerations.

Although the other three cities are loyal to Shaoyang, Shaoyang always wants them to see the benefits, if they only care about reclaiming wasteland in Songhai City, the benefits will not fall on their heads, and they will always have flaws over time.

Shi Xie discussed with Xu Shu before, and it was roughly the same thing, but in the end, Shaoyang still had to make the decision.

In the past few months, Shaoyang has also understood the situation in the Northern Chu Kingdom and even the Dusk Continent, and understands the value of grain, so he has paid more and more attention to agriculture.

After the Craftsman Division settled in Mahun, both creativity and productivity have been greatly improved, and all kinds of optimized agricultural tools have been added to the farming, which has also greatly improved the efficiency of farming.

In a year or two, agriculture in Shaoyang's sphere of influence will undergo earth-shaking changes, and agricultural output will not only meet its own needs.

The climate of the Northern Wilderness can only be ripe once a year, and after the autumn harvest, as long as the drying of new grain is completed, it will enter the agricultural leisure time.

Shaoyang didn't let them be idle, and another big project that had been prepared for a long time just began.

In one of the workshops outside the city, several towering chimneys were erected, and black smoke was rising from them. If it was in a previous life, Shaoyang could be sure that this workshop would be closed down by the relevant departments because of environmental pollution.

But this is the Twilight Continent, there is no such thing as environmental protection at all, and the pollution caused by this small broken workshop to the environment will soon be naturally purified.

The purpose of Shaoyang's craftsman is one of the new products, cement.

Although he does not understand the complex and complete cement production process, he also knows a little about the soil method of cement production, which grinds limestone and clay into powder, and then mixes it with slag powder after calcination.

As for the specific production of Shaoyang, I really don't know anything, I can only tell Ma Hun the general idea, and then let them study, although Ma Hun is better at forging and instrument manufacturing, but as a professional technical talent, through a few months of research, finally made unearthed cement.

When Shaoyang arrived, the craftsmen of the Craftsman Division demonstrated the strength of cement just like him, and a short section of cement road and a cement slab that had been paved long ago appeared in front of Shaoyang and others.

It's not that I haven't seen cement, but Shaoyang is still inevitably overjoyed, the surface of the cement road and cement board is not very smooth, and you can see a lot of particles and bubble holes on it.

"It should be that the grinding of the material is not delicate enough. Shaoyang thought about it for a while, felt that it might be the reason, and proposed a plan to try to improve with the craftsman.

If you want to make the cement more delicate, it will definitely intensify the manufacturing process and make mass production difficult, but it doesn't matter, this level is practical enough at the moment.

Zhou Cang listened to the craftsman boasting about the value of cement, and couldn't help but be curious to try its hardness, only to see him step forward and walk to the cement road, and when he stomped his foot hard, there were several cracks on the road.

Ma Hun didn't pay much attention to cement, and after occasionally instructing, he called the craftsman to be responsible for everything, and it was rare to show his face in front of Shaoyang, which caused him to exaggerate a little just now, which would make Zhou Cang crack when he stomped on the cement road at will, and the craftsman suddenly felt cold sweat.

"Not bad. Zhou Cang actually didn't belittle cement, but praised it. Generally, there will be a pothole on the road surface when he stomps his foot, but the cement road only has cracks, which surprised Zhou Cang.

When the craftsman boasted before, Shaoyang regarded this soil method cement as a high-quality cement produced by mechanization in his previous life, and almost believed the craftsman's words, and waited for Zhou Cang to try it before he reacted, not only the quality of cement needs to be improved, but this world is not the previous life, even high-quality cement is fragile in front of cultivators.

"Well, it's really good, there are rewards for being alone, but we still have to put it into production as soon as possible and prepare a batch of cement before the farm. But no matter what, Shaoyang still praised the craftsmen who made the cement, and gave some actual rewards.

As for these cements, they can already come in handy for road repair.

In fact, the straight-line distance between several border cities is not far, at most it is only more than 100 miles, and if you hurry up, you can theoretically arrive in two or three hours, but in practice it is impossible.

The flattest road in the wilderness is near the castle, and the dirt road paved with a layer of sand and gravel is fine when the weather is fine, but when it rains and the road is muddy, it is even more difficult to move forward.

Shaoyang planned to use the leisure time to build the main road between several cities with cement, and then the connection between the cities would be closer, and even the infantry army could arrive in a day, let alone the cavalry.
