Chapter 478: Self-sufficiency in New Liaodong
Mao Wenlong's request for battle will definitely not be approved, and next year's battle plan has been determined, Luzon and the front set.
The expansion strategy is unswerving, but it is also the unchanging purpose of the imperial court to carry out it in an orderly manner and to do what it can.
Although the development of Jilin Prefecture, on the basis of the joint efforts of the military and the people, in the case of full enthusiasm, it was somewhat beyond the expectations of the emperor and the imperial court.
It is also quite tempting to cross the Songhua River and enter the Songnen Plain for development and construction.
However, manpower is still the main factor restricting the stride to Peking University, the amount of immigration, the amount of investment, and the amount of subsidies must also be planned as a whole, and cannot be left alone.
Judging from the situation in eastern Liaodong as a whole, although there are also local disasters, the main reason is that the temperature is lower, and the impact on potatoes and rye is not great.
At this time, the advantages of large potato production can be seen. Planting one acre is worth two or three acres of traditional crops, in other words, planting a year of harvest, two or three years.
The change of crop varieties is also changing people's living habits. Potatoes and rye are gradually becoming the staple food of the people of Liaodong.
As for traditional crops such as rice and wheat, they are also available on the market as a food dispensing. All of them are shipped outward, from the south, from overseas.
Fish, as nature's richest source of protein, has also flourished under the advocacy and support of the imperial court.
There used to be marine fisheries, and now freshwater aquaculture has been added. Potholes, as well as large pits left by digging and burning bricks, must all be transformed into reservoirs or fish ponds, and become the collective property of the villages to which they belong.
The second father carried two fish and walked happily on the way home.
The fish pond outside the village was chiseled into ice for fishing, and as a benefit for the New Year, each family could get a share of the fish. Lao Zhang, who is in charge of fish farming, gets more, and is planning to sell it on the big market before the year!
The snow creaks under your feet, and when you hear it in your ears, it also carries a cheerful rhythm.
The second father walked to the gate of the courtyard and saw his wife and daughter hanging lanterns in the courtyard, and the smile on his face was completely overflowing.
"Dad, you're back." Erya looked at her father who pushed the door into the courtyard, smiled and beckoned, "Look at the lantern I made with my mother, there is an oil pot in it, and there is no candle." ”
"Good, good-looking." The second father nodded vigorously, showed the fish in his hand to the two mothers, and said with a smile: "Look, eat it during the New Year, and there will be more (fish) every year, which is a good sign." ”
The second girl urged: "Quickly hang the fish, so that the body is covered with water, and it is frozen into ice." ”
The second father hurriedly hung the frozen fish on the wall, helped the mother and mother hang the lantern, and then entered the house together.
The fire under the stove was still burning, and the smoke and fire mixed with the fragrance of the face came to the face, and the second girl heard the movement in the inner room, and hurriedly went in to coax the child.
"Another pot of steamed buns." Er Ya sat in front of the stove to add to the fire, and showed her father, "I pinched rabbits, dogs, horses, and cows. There are black noodles, two mixed ones, and a few wheat noodles, all with dates on them. ”
Steamed steamed buns are an old custom a few years ago, especially in the Northeast, they are frozen when they are steamed, and they are very convenient to eat and put them in the pot for a hot time.
The second girl's father touched his daughter's head, this is a sensible and capable girl, but when she was out, she suffered a lot.
This family can have now, and Erya has made a lot of efforts.
Er Ya laughed, pulled out two potatoes from the ashes under the stove, and gave one to her father, she took it in her hand and blew and whisked, and when she broke it, the burnt yellow soil exuded aroma and heat, which was mouth-watering.
"Catch up with the big set tomorrow, and my father will buy you two catties of sweet potatoes and come back." The second father knows that baked potatoes are delicious, but roasted sweet potatoes are sweeter and more fragrant.
Erya shook her head and refused, and said: "There are so many potatoes in the cellar, boiled and eaten, roasted and eaten, fried shredded and fried slices are delicious, no need to waste money." ”
After a pause, Er Ya said with some hesitation: "If you have spare money at home, can you buy me a book?" ”
"Buy, buy tomorrow." The second girl is a little distressed, anyone in the village can listen to and learn, but there are very few books without books, the girl is sensible, but the eyes of others-
Erya grinned and said, "Mr. said, I'll get the couplet tomorrow, every family has it." I bought the book and read it at home during the Chinese New Year. If you don't understand, you can also ask Mr. ”
"Sir is a good man." The second father said: "When I first came back, I saw that the government gave Mr. a New Year's gift, with meat, wine, and a plaque!" ”
There are gentlemen in the villages, and they are not required to have too high knowledge, and they can teach children to read and count, and the basic ones will be given fame by the government, and the minimum is also a showman.
New Year's festivals are given as gifts, there are subsidies in summer and winter, and the most important thing is that they are exempt from taxes. At the end of the three-year period, you can also participate in the imperial examination, which is directly the provincial examination.
Of course, there are also a lot of assessments for Mr. Teaching. There are also punitive measures for perfunctory nonsense.
Although the emperor intended to promote new ideas, it was not easy to change the field of thought. For scholars, if they fail the imperial examination, it is more uncomfortable than killing them.
"Girls study-" The second girl walked out of the back room, stopped talking, looked at her daughter lowered her head, her heart softened, and said with a smile: "It's also a great thing that our family wants to have a female talent!" ”
The second girl father smiled and agreed: "Study hard, and you will write the Spring Festival couplets and blessing characters for the New Year in the future." ”
Er Ya became happy at this time, took a piece of firewood and wrote the word "Fu" on the ground, looked left and right, and smiled a little embarrassedly.
…………………
After reviewing the documents, he put them aside, and put them higher and higher, almost blocking the gaze of Wu Yongxian, the governor of Liaodong, before he stopped.
Taking off his glasses and rubbing his eyes that were a little swollen and painful, Wu Yongxian felt relaxed.
The reconstruction, resettlement, development and construction of eastern Liaodong are many different policies from the original or from the mainland.
After several years of implementation, the Liaodong government has been smoothed out, and the officials have accepted and mastered the new methods of administration and management.
What made Wu Yongxian even more pleased was that the people of Liaodong had basically gotten rid of the supply of the imperial court and reached self-sufficiency.
This is due to a significant increase in the land base and to the cold tolerance and high yields of new crops.
Although rice, wheat, sweet potatoes, etc. are still being transported into Liaodong, they are already commercial activities, not relief subsidies, but making money.
Of course, the people of Liaodong are now in the stage of being full, potatoes, rye, and corn are not fine grains, and non-staple foods are only fish and meat are the cheapest.
But in ancient times, if the people could be fed, it could be called a prosperous age. That "chaff" prosperous era was not recorded in history by virtue of this.
Wu Yongxian knew that Banzai's dedication to the development of Liaodong and the expansion of its territory to the north and Liaodong's self-sufficiency was a great achievement, which could accelerate the realization of Banzai's grand ambition.
After resting for a while, Wu Yong first made sure that the goal of self-sufficiency had been achieved, and then laid out the paper and pen and wrote a secret report to the emperor.
He is a cautious person, and he knows that the emperor does not rub sand in his eyes, and hates the deception of his courtiers the most. Therefore, he has to carefully check the data reported to make sure that nothing is wrong.
