In the third year of Chongzhen, in June, the new weapons in the Xujiazhuang weapons workshop were successfully mass-produced, and the first batch of equipment was put into the hands of more than 300 veterans of the Huzhuang team, so that they could familiarize themselves with the use of new weapons.

In late July, the Xujiazhuang Police Training Department, a three-month recruit training period ended, this batch of 1,220 recruits, all passed the recruit assessment, became qualified recruits, and a collective holiday of ten days, you can go back to their respective homes to see, and when they return to the team, they will become official members of the Zhuang guard, and be issued weapons and equipment.

Zhang Damao immediately took more than 20 catties of white rabbit milk candy, canned meat, sausages and other manor specialties bought with monthly salary, and rushed back to Xizhang Village, his hometown in Baoying County, and set off in the morning and arrived in the evening, giving his adoptive parents and four younger sisters a surprise.

It's just that the adoptive parents also gave him a surprise, saying that they had already set a family affair for him, the girl is 15 years old this year, and she is the most handsome girl within a radius of ten miles and eight towns nearby.

Immediately took out 20 silver dollars as a bride price, set the family affairs, and passed the door at the end of the year.

In other words, Zhang Damao is now a person with a daughter-in-law.

"I didn't expect to get married so soon."

Zhang Damao was very helpless, with a wry smile, he wanted to cancel this marriage, but seeing that his adoptive parents were so happy, the four younger sisters were looking forward to the arrival of his sister-in-law, because the adoptive parents decided to rebuild the house at home and buy some new things, it was best to save some more money and buy a few more acres of good land, so that the future would be better.

This made Zhang Damao even more unable to open his mouth to cancel the marriage, the conditions at home are too poor, the thatched wooden house has not been repaired all the year round, the furniture is tattered, there are few good things, the food of the four sisters is still the same as before, but the amount has increased slightly, if he does not nod and agree to the marriage, I am afraid that it will not be changed, and the money is also saved, rather than this, it is better to sacrifice it yourself, so that the family can soon live a better new life.

"Good, good! Da Mao, your mother and I know that you are the lucky star of our family, and you can bring wealth to the family! ”

The adoptive parents were very happy, and their faces smiled like two flowers.

"Rich?"

Zhang Damao suddenly remembered that due to the increase in literacy, in the later stage of recruit training, there was a wave of name changes among recruits.

Now Zhang Damao's literacy is more than 300, and he has barely gotten rid of his illiterate identity and is semi-literate.

Now he doesn't have the ability to read and write articles, but he can still change his name to a better one.

"I'll call Zhang Fugui in the future, not to bring wealth to myself, but to bring wealth to my parents and family, so that they can all live a good life!"

Zhang Damao, no, Zhang Fugui said secretly.

……

August, Mid-Autumn season.

It is also the most anticipated agricultural harvest season.

In the rice field of the Xu family manor, a large area of golden rice, although the sowing process is a bit random and messy, not very neat, but after the careful care of the village workers, now all the long ears of rice are hung, and the full rice is produced, and the heavy pressure of the rice plant bows its head.

As for the yield per mu, those old village workers may not be surprised or surprised, but those village workers who have only joined this year show disbelief expressions one by one, pinching their arms hard, and suspecting that they are dreaming.

On the ridge.

"Seven stones per mu, when there are about seven stones!" Looking at the rice field, a middle-aged farmer estimated and said.

"More than that, I see more than that, this rice ear is so long, there are 100 grains of grain, and it is properly densely planted, and the yield per mu should be in eight stones!" Another white-haired old farmer next to him.

"Eight stones? The old man has planted rice for a lifetime, even if he has applied the most fertilizer in the best years, it is only four stones per mu, and this lazy rice that only needs to be taken care of a few times occasionally has such a terrible yield? This old man, who was over seventy years old, his back was bent by the burden of life, and his face was full of wrinkles and vicissitudes, wiped his cloudy eyes and sighed.

"The yield per mu of this rice is not eight stones, but ten stones, I Zhang Gufeng will not be wrong, dare to pack a ticket!"

At this time, Zhang Gufeng stood up and said earth-shattering words.

It caused an uproar among many old croppers.

"Ten stones, how can there be so many?"

"The old man has planted rice for decades, and in a good year, he yields three stones per mu, and in a bad year, he produces one or two stones per mu.

"Yes, although lazy rice seeds are excellent, pesticides and fertilizers have a miraculous effect on increasing yield, but one mu is worth three acres, which is really ......"

"It's so easy to have a yield of ten stones, what is it that we worked so hard in previous years?"

After all, this is the data they estimated, if it reaches ten stones per mu, it not only creates a record that they cannot achieve, but also completely denies their traditional farming methods, proving that their hard work and sweat are just inefficient and futile, and this cruel comparison makes them really difficult to accept.

"When the harvest is completed, it will be bagged and weighed, and its actual yield per mu will be known."

Zhang Gufeng said confidently, then boarded the cab of a large combine harvester, started the diesel engine with a buzz, put down the harvesting drum at the front end, and drove into the rice field.

A large combine harvester can complete the harvesting of hundreds of acres in one day, and the efficiency is hundreds of times that of manual harvesting.

The 4,000 acres of paddy fields in the No. 3 estate were all harvested in just over a day under the busy work of 30 combine harvesters.

But the total production was finally counted in the afternoon of the next day.

A total of 5,160,300 catties, with an average yield of 1,290 catties per mu, and an average yield of 10.32 stones per mu based on 125 catties of one stone.

This does not include the rice wasted by the harvesters, picked up by the farmers, and swept by the chickens, ducks and geese, and the waste yield is about 3%.

All in all, the average yield of this piece of rice in the manor is more than ten stone per mu, which is a definite fact.

The villagers who saw this kind of harvest scene for the first time, while their feelings were complicated, they all shed sad tears, and even knelt on the ground, beating their chests and crying.

"God, if I had joined the collective estate earlier, how could my child have starved to death?"

"With such a high yield, we will never go hungry again, and we will be able to eat enough every day!"

"I just hate that this manor didn't appear earlier, there is the dragon king pumping water, there is Hercules ploughing the land, there is the giant scythe god helping to harvest, and there are pesticides, fertilizers and other gods to help, I only have endless food to eat in the future, only endless blessings."

"Fortunately, I joined this manor, and now I will return all the fields to me, and I will not quit, and I will live and die in the future!"

"That's right, if you don't leave the manor even if you are killed, it's much better than dedicating the land to the old man."

“……”

It was not only the No. 3 estate that had a bumper harvest of rice.

The rice fields of other manors have also achieved bumper harvests, with the lowest average yield per mu of 1,000 catties, and the most exaggerated is the total village of Xujiazhuang, where the yield per mu of rice has reached a record of 1,550 catties.

After all the harvest is complete.

The eleven collective estates in Xujiazhuang add up, a total of 48,325 acres of paddy fields, a total of more than 60.64 million catties of rice have been harvested, equivalent to a total output of 485,000 stones, all of which have been returned to the warehouse.

And it's not just rice.

The 1200 acres of potato fields in the No. 5 manor, after the harvest, actually created an amazing yield of 7862 catties per mu, equivalent to 62.9 stone / mu, participated in the management of this potato field Zhuang Gong Lu Youcai, tears fell on the spot, such a high yield, so many potatoes, one acre I don't know how many people to eat, will not starve anymore, it is impossible to starve to death, a good day is really coming.

A 1,600 acres of low-value saline-alkali land in the No. 10 manor, after planting salt-alkali tolerant sweet potatoes, is also in the harvest season in August, achieving an average yield of 4,700 catties per mu, equivalent to 37.6 stones/mu, the workers who participated in the management of this saline-alkali land are also in tears, kneeling in the ground, holding a huge sweet potato in their hands, sometimes whining, sometimes laughing, sometimes yelling, sometimes dancing, giving people a feeling of neurotic group seizures.

In this golden autumn harvest season in August, the corn in June and July is not counted, and the bean crops in September are not counted, but only the output of rice, potatoes, and sweet potatoes.

Then the rice field with an area of nearly 50,000 mu has an average yield of 1,250 catties per mu, and a total of 485,000 stone of rice is harvested.

The potato field with an area of about 11,000 mu has an average yield of 5,500 catties per mu, and a total of 482,000 stone of potatoes are harvested.

The sweet potato land with an area of about 10,000 mu has an average yield of 3,800 catties per mu, and a total of 304,000 stone of sweet potatoes are harvested.

Other words!

In August alone, the eleven collective estates of Xujiazhuang harvested a total of 1.271 million stones of staple grain, and achieved a bumper harvest in agriculture, which shocked all the new Zhuang workers and also caused a sensation in the entire Xinghua County!
