Chapter 124: The Developing Town of Fuxi
The scale of Fuxi Town is much more complete than that of the new six towns, and this long strip-shaped town with mountains and rivers already has the feeling of an old-world town, and it has developed faster than Xin'an Town.
Two wide north-south cement avenues connect the north and south gates, crossing the town of Fuxi, one by the river bank, the other along the foot of the mountain, between the two roads, along the road neatly sits a number of buildings, not only ordinary wooden houses, but even brick and stone buildings.
Schools, medical halls, town halls, supply and marketing cooperatives, canteens, public toilets, guard boxes, alchemy rooms, workshops... Along the way, Li Kang even saw a private tavern (selling his own secret fruit wine) and a four-person workshop for making knick-knacks, much to his delight.
And there are several longitudinal roads and alleys between these buildings to divide them into pieces, and I think that Zhao Guo also thought of transplanting evergreens and flowers on the side of the road.
Li Kang was drunk, and he had an urge to move the center over.
"I said Mayor Zhao, you are silent, it's okay!" Li Kang sighed with emotion, and said to Zhao Guo with a smile.
"Where is it! There are still many deficiencies in the subordinates, and I still want to ask the lord for advice!" Zhao Guo smiled reservedly and said modestly.
"What else do you want to point out!" Li Kang said, "You are doing a good job! Just follow your own ideas, step by step! When you are self-sufficient in food, you will be able to show your strength!"
"Oh, by the way, when I came, I saw that only half of the wheat stalks were left in the fields on the other side, how was the harvest this time?" Speaking of grain, Li Kang immediately remembered this incident, when he came here, the harvest had just begun in Xin'an Town.
As soon as he heard Li Kang mention the spring harvest, Zhao Guo's face couldn't help but smile, and said: "Thanks to God's mercy, Lord Hongfu, there is no underharvest this time, 4,000 mu of wheat fields yield 180 catties per mu, a total of 360 tons of wheat are harvested; 1,000 mu of rape produce 100 catties per mu, except for some reserved seeds, a total of 12 tons of oil, fertilizer, fodder, etc.; 500 mu of broad beans have an average yield of 350 catties per mu, and 87.5 tons of broad beans are harvested..."
"So little?" Li Kang frowned, a little unconvinced, although he couldn't know the specific number, and he hadn't personally gone to the field to harvest - it didn't count as catching grasshoppers in the field - but he remembered that the books he had read before said that the yield per mu was four or five hundred kilograms or even seven or eight hundred kilograms, even if the technology was not up to par, and there was no good fertilizer, it would be okay to make a discount?
Fortunately, Li Kang didn't say what he thought in his heart, otherwise Zhao Guo might have sprayed him to death with a mouthful of salt soda: Big guy, where did you get the data?
"That's a lot!" Zhao Guo said strangely, "These fields are all raw fields, and there are not enough people to take care of them, so there is no way to intensively cultivate, can have such a yield, or because of the use of farm fertilizer, plant ash and other fertilizers, and there is no shortage of cattle, otherwise how can there be so much output? It is these outputs, and the subordinates are also excited, and the big man was a little better than this back then." ”
Li Kang was embarrassed by his ignorance, and he was also embarrassed by the hardships of the lives of the working people in ancient times.
However, Qi Qiran will return to Qi Qiran, and when the agricultural tax is collected in the future, it will still be collected.
"Well, this grain is added to the harvest of fishing... Just take care of Fuxi Town, it's enough to hold on tightly for half a year... There are livestock in captivity in Fuxi Town, right?"
"Yes, chickens, ducks, geese, pigs, sheep, cattle and horses, rabbits, deer, and several local animals that can be domesticated, but the amount of captivity is not large... It's better than nothing!" replied Zhao Guo.
"Where's the fish?"
"There is no fish farming yet..."
Li Kang thought of the mulberry fish pond at this moment, "mulberry mao, silkworm strong, fish fat, pond fat, good base, silkworm cocoon", this folk proverb is talking about mulberry fish pond, which shows its efficacy.
However, he only knows this concept, and does not know the specific operation process, and he does not know whether it can be realized now.
Thinking of the mulberry fish pond, Li Kang's brain began to open widely, and he couldn't collect it.
Biogas digesters, soaps, glass, cans, electromagnetic relays, voltaic batteries, hand-cranked generators, lathes, planers, milling machines, hot air balloons, triacids and alkalis, matches, flush toilets, honeycomb coal......
Within a few breaths, Li Kang thought of a string of nouns in his mind, don't look at what he thinks looks lofty, in fact, the principles are very simple, and some seem simple, but they may not be able to make it.
[Try it when you return to Xin'an Town, you can make one of them, and the rest will wait for the basic industry to improve!]
After making a decision in his heart, Li Kang turned to Zhao and said: "The matter of the fish pond, I will try it when I go back, and there are still some ideas to try, if it proves feasible, when the time comes, you will come to Xin'an Town." However, you can also try it yourself, and see how to organically combine fish farming with silkworm farming, which is nothing more than planting mulberry trees by the pond, and as for how it is swollen, it is up to you to figure it out on your own!"
"No!" Zhao Guo didn't understand why Li Kang suddenly had such an idea, silkworm farming and fish farming could go together, he was really unconvinced.
"Ah, also, you can raise ducks in the lotus root field, ducks in the fish pond, or a combination of the three, and of course, you can also try to raise ducks in the white fields and water chestnut fields...... In short, a variety of industries complement each other and are mutually beneficial, and there is no need to limit yourself to raising children, try other aspects, but the premise is that there must be a certain feasibility, such as combining wolf raising and sheep breeding, which will definitely not work. ”
Zhao Guo's eyes became brighter and brighter the more he listened, and he felt that Li Kang's thinking was wild, but what he said was very reasonable, so he nodded while listening, and by the way, he gave the clerk on the side a look and asked him to quickly write it down.
"Okay, Fuxi Town looks pretty much the same, it's very good! Now go to the alchemy warehouse and collect the gold. Finally finished talking about raising ducks, Li Kang remembered the main purpose of this trip, and said with a smile, "Hehe, Xiangao Town gave me a big surprise, I don't know how Fuxi Town is?"
"I will definitely not disappoint the lord!" Zhao Guo was full of confidence, he already knew the situation in Xiangao Town, he was the supreme administrator of the Seven Towns, and everything in Xiangao Town had to be reported to him.
After all, Xiangao Town has a thin foundation and a small population, so it is not as rich as Fuxi Town.
As a result, Li Kang was very satisfied with the harvest of this trip, and the photovoltaic Xizhen family was comparable to the sum of the previous two, with 120,000.
In this way, the five towns combined, a total of more than 350,000 to 400,000, Li Kang's shriveled purse bulged again, thinking that the Golden Clan would be conquered in a few days, if this battle went well, then, there would be a large amount of gold in the account, maybe it could exceed the peak of 600,000 last time.
Thinking of this, Li Kang couldn't help but be excited!
