A half-joking remark made Yang Zhiyuan speechless, and Huang Shi was a little unbearable, so he quickly appeased the old courtier and discussed the plan of cultivating farmland.

Of course, the population is as much as possible, Changsheng Island has about 60,000 acres of flat land, and more than 200,000 acres of mountainous land, but I don't know how much arable land can be reclaimed.

"Flat land can be made into paddy fields, although there are many mountains, but they can also create terraces, and the slopes are better than flat ground, and the slope area is larger. Yang Zhiyuan has the courage to conquer the sky: "We can set fire to the forest, carefully divert water to the mountains, and we will definitely be able to open up 200,000 acres of cultivated land." ”

Set fire to hundreds of thousands of acres of forest, in the 21st century, Huangshi estimates that he will eat guns for this, but now eat first, environmental protection or leave it to future generations to do: "200,000 acres, about 15,000 households, that is, 15,000 strong men, and the same number of women, can probably supply 5,000 peasant soldiers, if it is a field army, it can also have more than 2,000 people." ”

"Eat when you're busy, drink porridge when you're free, you don't have to feed everyone, you don't have to starve to death. Jin Qiude interjected and said a rationalization, so that 15,000 mu is enough to support 1,500 military households, and the anti-environmental and anti-human work does not seem to be very urgent.

Huang Shi made a final summary: "The most important task at present is to cut down trees and build ships, and then 300 people go to fish, 100 people are responsible for handling the fish caught every day, 50 people go to hunt, and the rest go to reclaim wasteland. ”

Although the manpower is insufficient, Yang Zhiyuan did not dare to continue to complain: "My subordinates do their best, I hope it will be in time." The reclaimed raw land is planted with sesame seeds to drive weeds, some miscellaneous grains are planted in the fall, and the cultivated land is ready to mature next year, and the harvest of millet can be expected. ”

During the Xiaoice River period, the rainfall belt moved south, and the wheat ten ** will be frozen to death because of the lack of snow in winter, Huangshi does not plan to waste food, this is not in a hurry. Next year, the cultivated land will definitely be planted with corn, but this is not in a hurry, and it is not too late to persuade Yang Zhiyuan to be an elm pimple.

He Baodao, who had never been able to speak, finally waited for this moment: "My lord, there are weapons, cloth, and tools, which cannot be grown in the ground. ”

Pig iron, cloth, and other materials are theoretically allocated by the superiors, but at the moment, we can't count on the Dongjiang headquarters. These supplies could be purchased from merchants in Shandong, but silver was required.

"I don't know if there is an iron mine on Changsheng Island, but cloth must not be produced by itself, and our land must be used to grow food. Yang Zhiyuan still can't forget his food.

Jin Qiude said: "I don't know if there is an iron mine, but there is salt here, and we can boil salt." ”

He Baodao, the shopkeeper who shook his hand, shouted: "Selling salt requires salt introduction, and we don't have this." ”

"No, we can sell it. "It seems that Kim Qiude is already confident.

"Tell me about it. "Huangshi's eyes lit up, if he could sell salt, it would be a fortune.

In the Ming system, the production of salt farms in Shandong and Lianghuai all needed salt to be sold, but there was never a salt farm in Liaodong, and each health office could produce and sell salt on its own, and the proceeds were used for military purposes. Since the implementation of the sea ban in Houjin, the salt fields of Fuzhou Wei and Jinzhou Wei have been abandoned, and the salt needed by Houjin is enough for Haizhou's income.

"In the past, there were generally thousands of soldiers engaged in salt production, and it is said that there were 400,000 or 500,000 catties of production. Or is it because the weather has been so cold that the salt pans have been abandoned, otherwise it is not impossible to have millions of them. ”

"That's it," unless there is a technological breakthrough, it is still impossible to dry salt in the near future, and Huangshi didn't come up with any knowledge about drying salt, so he silently calculated for a while: "If we can produce 300,000 catties of salt, how much silver can it be worth?"

Five thousand taels of silver, everyone thinks that this is a more pertinent number, cooking salt requires wood, this is easy to do, the big deal is to cut down indiscriminately, let future generations have a headache about vegetation. However, the problem of manpower is more troublesome, and every problem is a food problem, so Huangshi decided not to worry about this problem, and drove to the mountain with his own road.

"Deerskins can also be sold, and a good deerskin can be worth seven or eight taels of silver. Zhao Slowxiong came up with another clever plan to make money.

"By the way, send someone to scout the offshore sea to see if there are any sea cucumbers and abalone, and that thing can also be sold...... What, no one eats it, don't be afraid, sea cucumber can aphrodisiac, abalone can nourish yin...... Yes, it has the effect of tonifying the kidneys and generating sperm...... You see, sea cucumbers look like that, and as for abalone, anyone who has tasted a woman knows what I'm talking about...... Especially our Changsheng Island sea cucumber, longevity, longevity, is obviously the way of heaven that secretly combines seven losses and eight benefits...... Ah, and deer antler velvet, that one has the magic effect of a golden gun!"

Huang Shi's words were very convincing, and his subordinates all showed expressions of sudden realization on their faces, and they also laughed lewdly together, looking a little eager to try.

In this era, the knowledge of medical care is still very poor, and it is basically stuck in the stage of what you eat and what you supplement, and what you use is what you want. For example, in the "Compendium of Materia Medica", the special medicine for the treatment of infertility in couples is spring rain, because the ancients believed that spring rain has the magical effect of making all things newborn.

Huangshi believes that in this era, Diana pills are much easier to sell. Naturally, he is not a poor person who can afford sea cucumbers and abalone, and he has no embarrassment in making some money from them. Huang Shi pondered for a while, and it is needless to say that he widely publicizes "immortal sea cucumbers", maybe it will be better to find some more sought-after ones, and hype them up under the banner of "real immortal sea cucumbers, authentic immortal sea cucumbers, and real authentic immortal sea cucumbers".

"But we can't feed the soldiers, or we'll be in trouble. Yang Zhiyuan laughed and said that he meant the issue of homosexuality, which is a common thing, especially now that there are more than 1,000 singles on the island.

"We do need women, but we have to wait until the end of the year, at least until the end of the year. In addition, until fifty percent of the soldiers have resolved the issue of military dependents, all officers are not allowed to consider marrying, do you understand?"

"Yes, sir. Everyone agreed, I don't know if it was a psychological effect, Huang Shi felt that Yang Zhiyuan's voice was the loudest.

"One more question......"

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the problem of small feet was not strict, only the daughters of the royal and wealthy families were small feet, and the daughters of Xiucai and Juren were mostly Tianzu, not to mention Yahuan, more than ninety percent of women were still in normal health at this time, and the dynasty that really promoted the quintessence of the country has not yet arrived, and its achievements in promoting the quintessence of the country are destined to be strangled in the cradle by Huangshi.

Huang Shi, who was pretending to be a public servant, ordered loudly: "No one is allowed to marry a woman with small feet, and we cannot raise a woman who eats for nothing! Beginning with me, officers must set an example." ”

At this very time, the officers can understand this. The first to agree loudly was Jin Qiude, who felt that Yang Zhiyuan had stolen the limelight when answering the previous question: "Those who marry small feet without a wife will be killed immediately! Those who dare to bind their wives and daughters will be skinned and filled with grass!"
