Chapter 711: Ascension
Hearing her old man say this, Mrs. Wu was worried, "It's freezing this day, you are old, and your body can't stand it!" ”
At this time, Boss Wu said in a deep voice: "Dad, the eldest brother is like a father, let me go back, just with the second brother of the uncle's family." Life is so good here, Lan Niang also wants to take her parents and brothers over. ”
Wu's second sister-in-law also hurriedly said: "Big brother, I will also find someone to write a letter to tell my parents and brothers, and let them come over too." ”
Mrs. Wu thought of her two daughters' in-laws, and felt bored for a while, "The eldest and the second go back and take your two younger sisters over, even if your sister's in-laws don't want to, just ask your brother-in-law if you come?" ”
"If they don't come, let your two sisters reconcile with that side and bring them over, and I'll find them unmarried boys over here."
When everyone heard Mrs. Wu's words, they were stunned, "Mother, isn't it?" ”
Mrs. Wu glared, "Why not?" Your two sisters-in-law's family is similar to ours before, with many people and few places, and they can't eat enough all year round. ”
"Now that I have a good life, I would be a fool not to come. The two old pious women felt inferior to them, they didn't want to live a good life, and I still wanted my daughter to live a good life. ”
"When I go back, I'll tell your two younger sisters, if you don't come to live a good life, I won't care about them in the future, whether it's life or death, it's up to them. Anyway, we're not going back to our hometown. ”
Wu Dazhuang, Wu Erzhuang nodded again and again, "Mother, don't worry, I will definitely bring my two younger sisters back." ”
This kind of situation happens in many families, and they are ready to wait until the end of the autumn harvest, and if it is okay, they will go back to their hometown and bring their relatives here.
Not only can relatives come here to get land, but they don't run in vain, and one person has a reward of one or two silver.
The beets in Wu Sanzhuang's house were harvested and sold for three days, earning hundreds of taels of silver.
Not only that, but there are also a large number of beet leaves as feed.
This was followed by the corn and potato harvest.
All the big potatoes were sold, and the small ones were kept at home and eaten in the cellar.
Finally, the wheat is harvested.
Old Wu was worried, a total of 300 acres of land, everyone in the family went to the ground, and he didn't know when he would be able to harvest it?
At this time, Wu Sanzhuang bought back a few machines for harvesting wheat, pushed them away, and turned the disc above, so that he could drive more than a dozen knives below to cut the wheat.
One person can cut more than a dozen acres of land a day, which greatly improves efficiency.
Three men pushed the machine, others tied it in the back, and then cleaned up a threshing floor in the field.
The oxen pulled the stone mills and crushed the ears of wheat in circles on the threshing floor covered with wheat.
Old man Wu and his two grandsons were in charge of threshing, and the others cut wheat and bundled it.
Such an easy-to-use machine is expensive, but everyone has just recently sold sugar beets and has money in their hands to buy farm tools for harvesting wheat.
The family was busy again, and after twenty days of work, they finally harvested all the wheat.
The yield per mu is about 500 catties, so much land, and so much grain is harvested, which makes people like Wu Laohan a little worried.
Finally, there is an endless amount of food at home, and there are too many worries, which is really a sweet burden.
It was at this time that the government began to purchase grain.
Five pennies a pound.
So what are you waiting for, sell the grain!
Even though there are enough acquisition points, there are long queues.
The grain purchased this year is completely enough for the north for its own use, and so much grain is continuously transported to Beiyun City.
Beiyun City traded with the Beirong people, exchanging grain and salt for horses, cattle and sheep.
The newly built cement road played an important role at this time. Not only is it convenient to go back and forth, but also because the road surface is not invaded by water and fire, the speed is increased a lot.
Even on rainy days, as long as you do a good job of waterproof and moisture-proof, you will not be delayed.
The entire autumn harvest lasted for a month, and the cultivated land was fertilized and the seedlings of rape were planted.
After the rape survives, this year's busyness is over.
Many people come to the government to issue road guides, preparing to go back to their hometowns and bring their relatives from their hometowns.
For the north, the land is vast and the people are still too few.
This policy is still ongoing.
Wu Dazhuang, Wu Erzhuang, when there are other people in Wujia Village, dozens of strong men in a line, walking together.
There are many such teams, and they can be regarded as returning home.
When they found that when they came, it was still an ordinary dirt road, but when they returned, there was a flat cement road, and even their ox cart was a little faster.
Before it froze, the people began to build houses again.
The materials that had been prepared for a summer have now come in handy, and those who have the money to build a brick house will strive to build a new house before it freezes.
Gu Shao looked at the statistics in front of him, although he had expectations in his heart, his eyes were also full of shock.
In just one year, Mulberry City and Beiyun City are very different, the surrounding land has been reclaimed, and countless grains have been harvested.
As long as it takes three years, the surrounding areas of Beiyun City will be completely stabilized.
Now Gu Shao admires Li Yuanqing and Mrs. Derui even more.
Time flies, another two years have passed.
After attracting the population and recuperating, the population in the north has reached one million, and a lot of land has been cultivated, with an average of ten acres of land per person, which quickly makes the people here live a good life.
In the past three years, Beirong has been in civil strife and fighting.
Because his talent was too mediocre and self-serving, the eldest prince persisted for three years, and was finally defeated by the fourth prince who mastered the golden seal and became a prisoner.
When the fourth prince finally ascended the throne, the first thing he did was to submit his credentials, make friends with the Great Zhou, and conduct a wider range of trade.
The reason why the four princes were able to hold out for so many years and win was because Da Zhou traded with the four princes behind his back.
The four princes had cattle and sheep, and could exchange grain, cloth, medicinal herbs, and so on.
The fourth prince also knew that the strength of Beirong was huge now, and it was not enough to compete with the Great Zhou, and it was not even comparable to the northern region of the Great Zhou.
Therefore, the most important thing is for the two countries to be friendly and then recuperate.
After Beiyun City was stabilized, it was also the time when Gu Shao and Li Yuanqing left Sang City and Beiyun City.
The sound of horses' hooves is crisp, from far to near.
After arriving in Sangcheng, they stopped in front of the Governor Gu and Li Dadu's Mansion respectively.
Liang Bao personally read out the holy decree, affirming the merits of Gu Shao and Li Yuanqing, and both of them entered the cabinet.
Li Yuanqing and Gu Shao have now been promoted to become first-class officials, and their powers have greatly increased.
In the past, it was a military regime that managed a certain place in the Great Zhou, and after returning to the capital, he would manage the military affairs and government affairs of the entire Great Zhou.
This is Emperor Zhou Ping's great trust and responsibility for Gu Shao and Li Yuanqing.
Liang Bao came to the Dadu Mansion, and as soon as he finished reading the holy decree, Li Nan rushed over, "Father-in-law! ”
Liang Bao was even happier when he saw the slim Li Nan, "Anan, I haven't seen you for three years, you have grown so tall!" ”
Li Nan smiled, "Thank you father-in-law!" I haven't seen my father-in-law for three years, but my demeanor is still the same! ”
Liang Bao smiled and shook his head, "Old man! ”
Li Nan shook his head and retorted, "It's not old at all!" Come inside, father, are you hungry? ”
Liang Bao smiled: "I'm not hungry yet, when it's time to eat, let's eat together." ”
Li Yuanqing and Liu Paner greeted Father-in-law Liang, "Father-in-law Liang has worked hard all the way!" ”
Liang Bao said with a smile: "The responsibility is not hard. Congratulations to General Lee, congratulations to Mrs. Deree! ”
