After the immortal disappeared

"Dou Wuxing is well versed in farming at the right time. Please ask him for advice on farming issues."

"..."

"..."

The owner's plans and requirements were listed one after another, at least twenty-seven or eight, without any delay. Everyone grabbed pens and notebooks and kept taking notes, and they didn't even have time to ask questions.

He Lingchuan had not been so high-spirited for a long time, and pointing at the sand table was like pointing at the country.

In the past, he was so poor that no matter how many ideas he had, he could only hold them back for a while, but today he finally let them out.

This kind of spending money like water, this kind of scolding Fang Qiu, this kind of joy and joy are what being a great lord should feel like!

Renee looked up midway and saw her lord's eyes shining brightly, so she quickly lowered her head in fear.

Once this person has money to support him, his mental outlook will be different.

"Min Tianxi, the watchtowers, beacon towers, barracks, and weapons depots on these islands must be built." He Lingchuan named seventeen or eight small islands in succession. These islands are uninhabited and uncultivated, but they are located on the periphery of the archipelago and have important military value.

Min Tianxi quickly agreed.

"Qiu Hu." He Lingchuan turned to Qiu Hu, "Recruit people, recruit more people. Before late spring, the escort team will expand to more than 3,500 people, and the entire army will conduct drills. If there is a need for soldiers and armor, you and Song Connect with Yang Mansion."

Raising an army is the most expensive. Food, wages, armaments, medicines, and various consumables are not all that edible. Therefore, the Yangshan Guards could only maintain a size of 1,400 to 500 people.

Spending money may not necessarily create a winning team, but it is absolutely impossible to build a winning team without money.

Now, He Lingchuan has the confidence to expand his army.

"yes."

He Lingchuan rubbed his hands and said with a smile to his subordinates: "The mission assignment has been completed. I only have one request for everyone -"

"Big-fuck it, come on!"

￥￥￥￥￥

In a blink of an eye, it’s late spring and early summer.

Six months have passed, and the Yangshan Islands have changed drastically.

Yangshan Islands has once again entered the busy farming season.

From Bailie to Yangshan Islands, the highlight of late spring is the harvesting of palm oil. Palms are harvested twice a year, in spring and autumn.

In previous years, half a month after the red silk was hung in the palm grove and the opening ceremony was held, the oil caravans and ships arrived and queued up to dock at Blade Port.

However, the situation has changed this year. Some merchant ships have chosen to stop directly at Yangshan Islands instead of Blade Port for targeted direct purchases.

The archipelago offers berthing concessions to buyers of palm oil. Because of offshore tax avoidance, there is no need to go to Blade Port to clear customs, and caravans can enjoy lower prices for various specialties purchased in the Yangshan Islands.

Blade Port was naturally displeased, but there was nothing they could do.

This year, there is still a bumper harvest of palm oil.

Compared with the hectic pace of harvesting palm trees for the first time last fall, Yangshan Islands is much more calm this spring. The organization of personnel, the use of tools, and the logistics and transportation are all in good order.

A few months have passed, and the archipelago has built seven medium-sized cargo ships on its own, and purchased another five medium-sized cargo ships and 27 small ships to alleviate the shortage of transportation capacity.

As for large cargo ships, they can only be built slowly because they take too long and require complicated work.

After the palm harvest is over, the winter wheat harvest in early summer begins!

So the harvest season in this area is one crop after another, April and May, and everyone has something to do.

Wheat seeds were sown in the Yangshan Islands for the first time last fall. Although the planting methods were crude and the fields were poorly planned, which was a "waste of field power" in Dou Wuxing's words, the soil was indeed fertile and the yield per mu was close to 350 kilograms.

The weather has been good for half a month.

The island shines golden under the sun, and is full of yellow wheat fields and drying fields. Farmers are busy in the fields, and hired birds of prey drive away bird thieves on the wheat fields.

Yellow dogs and martens dug holes everywhere on the field ridges to catch mice.

When the first bag of wheat was delivered to He Lingchuan, and when the first handful of wheat grains flowed from his fingers, he raised his head, closed his eyes, and exhaled heavily.

His island finally started to produce food!

In the nine long months since He Lingchuan purchased the Yangshan Islands, all the food consumed on the island has basically been purchased from outside. Buy from Blade Port, buy from foreign businessmen, buy from all channels available in Yangshan Islands, and even Fang Canran helped him find a big grain merchant.

In order for so many mouths on the island to have food to eat every day, the Yangshan Islands fought countless times with profiteers who hoarded food and drove up food prices, and fought countless times with Blade Gang and Bailie who stabbed people in the back and used dirty tricks. back and forth.

All this also happened against the background that the war between Bejia and Mou State has not ended, and the price of food in Mou State's rear remains high.

He Lingchuan knew how much money he spent and how much price he paid.

The hardships involved cannot be explained to outsiders.

It took a lot of effort until now, and Yangshan Islands can produce its own food!

Everyone held up the shelled wheat kernels, put them under their noses and took a deep breath, with a look of intoxication on their faces.

smell good.

This is the smell of contentment, this is the smell of harvest.

This is the smell of food independence!

He Lingchuan almost looked up to the sky and laughed wildly:

Starting today, Yangshan Islands will also join the ranks of profiteers!

But before He Lingchuan finished laughing, Dou Wuxing came over to remind him: "Your wheat fields are planted in a mess, and you can still produce more than 300 kilograms per mu. This is probably because Emperor Liujian has been here several times, and the spiritual energy of the heaven and earth has been greatly enriched. Plants Bearing the brunt of the impact. Not only the Yangshan Islands, but also other places have increased production."

Yes, in the past year alone, the Emperor's Flowing Serum came three times; in the two years before that, it also happened twice.

When the emperor's fluid moistens the soil, the farming will benefit first, and then the spiritual energy between heaven and earth will be revived.

Practitioners like He Lingchuan can clearly feel the increase in the concentration of spiritual energy around them.

"We can no longer plant extensively in the future, so as not to waste everything!" Dou Wuxing continued, "We need to harvest wheat quickly. The good weather will only last for a month at most, and then it will enter the flood season. We have to re-plan the fields, dig ditches, and fill them with wheat straw. Soil, prepare to plant rice. Time is precious, don’t waste a moment!”

The intensive cultivation of Yangshan Islands will start with summer rice, and Dou Wuxing has been gearing up for a long time.

"...You have the final say." Now that he has sufficient manpower, He Lingchuan also equipped Dou Wuxing with a team of people to monitor and guide the astronomy, water conservancy and farming of the Yangshan Islands.

After Yangshan Islands became famous, it also attracted many people to seek refuge.

We must pay close attention to the cultivation of talents. This is also He Lingchuan's experience.

After the entire Yangshan Islands was developed, the farmland area expanded, and Reni could not manage it alone. He Lingchuan took back the right to organize agricultural production from her, divided the entire island's farming into several areas, and assigned dedicated personnel to each area.

The Yangshan Islands are like a machine with an increasingly tight structure. It was still running stumblingly after the last expansion, but now it is finally getting smoother.
