Farming Beneath the Changbai Mountains

Following these refugees, there were also many various crop seeds from the south, which Wen Han and the others obtained according to Jing Han's instructions. There are rice, sesame, watermelon, cotton, sugar beets, etc., all of which are only found in the south. Jinghan remembered that there were several famous things here in her previous life, but there are none now, so she wanted to try to cultivate them.

Although Zixuan didn't agree with it, he respected Jinghan's decision. Besides, there is plenty of land here, but it is just a waste of land. If it is actually planted, it will be a good thing.

These refugees need to be managed. Fortunately, the imperial court transferred 500 soldiers from Longzhou. In addition to helping manage these refugees, they also helped to reclaim wasteland. Now that there are more manpower, the land reclamation matter will be easier to handle.

Of course, Zixuan did not forget the local people. He summoned the village chiefs, mayors and others from various villages and towns together and talked to them about the policy of land reclamation. Now that people are clearing up wasteland, in addition to the two years of tax exemption provided by the court, they can also be exempted from taxes for another three years. In addition, if people want to buy the reclaimed land, they can pay for it after three years, so they don't have to take the money right away.

Of course, if the land is planted more, more food will be produced. If the food produced cannot be sold, no one will want to plant so much. With the winery behind him and the Sun brothers, Zixuan promised on the spot that the county government would directly purchase the grain produced.

At this time, people became more energetic, and for a while, various places were opening up wasteland to prepare for farming. Anyway, someone wants what you grow, so what are you afraid of?

In April, the Xu family sent someone to deliver the duck eggs and goose eggs that Jinghan wanted. In fact, duck eggs are also available locally, but Jinghan wanted to use duck feathers to make down jackets, preferably white ducks, so she got them here from home. In fact, this kind of white duck is a type of meat-producing species. If you try to sell it for money by laying eggs, that won't work. The duck eggs sent by the Xu family had been saved for many days.

Of course, there were also Fang Yonggui and his wife who came to deliver duck eggs. Zhixin was afraid that Jinghan didn't have anyone who could artificially hatch duck eggs, so he let them come.

Jinghan planned to let people from Yueyuepao Village raise these duck and goose eggs first. There are many wetlands and swamps over there in Moon Pao, which are very suitable for raising these birds. If the cultivation here is good, it can be promoted to other places in the future. There are many lakes, wetlands and other places within Zhendong County. It would be great if all of these could be utilized.

As soon as the people in the village heard that these were given to them to raise, they were naturally willing to buy them back when the county government bought them when they were grown. Years ago, every family received money from selling fish, which made them very convinced of the county government.

The Fang family lived in Yuepao Village like this. Village Chief Tian was afraid that if he distributed the duck eggs to everyone, they would not be able to hatch. So they concentrated on a few companies, and according to Li's request, they made leather bags into large bags. Then fill it with water, put it in a large wooden frame, put duck and goose eggs on it, and slowly hatch it.

Work also started in the weaving workshop. Zixuan found many young girls and wives from the county and the grassland and let them learn spinning and weaving in the weaving workshop. These people also understand that if you learn this, it is a craft, so they learn it with all their heart. A few who learned quickly could be counted as wages. Now, the rest of the people were working hard, and it didn't take long for these people to be able to work.

It was also a good time to shear sheep, so Chang'an and the others went to collect sheep in various places. Except for the tribe where Jinghan and the others had been, they also sent people to other places. In the past two years, the relationship between the Northern Yuan Kingdom and the imperial court has been good. The two countries have opened a business and conducted mutual trade. So Chang'an and others asked people from the Batu tribe to trade with those from the Beiyuan Kingdom and exchanged a large amount of wool from them.

In this way, a lot of wool was collected at once. Fortunately, no one knows how valuable this thing is yet, so it can be collected very cheaply. Jinghan had someone set up a special place as a warehouse, and now, the entire warehouse was full. With these wools, Jinghan felt a little confident. No one knew the value of this wool, so they could collect it so easily. When everyone knows about it, the price of wool will definitely rise in the future.

So Jinghan told Wu Ya and others to let the tribe members raise more sheep, especially the ones that produce good wool. This is quite simple, of course the herdsmen are willing to do it. They naturally have a way to get the best varieties from the Northern Yuan Kingdom, and then multiply them and become a tool to make money. Of course, this reproduction process will not be fast and requires everyone’s joint efforts. Fortunately, after these events, several tribes on the grassland are very supportive of the county government, so they are very cooperative no matter what happens. In this way, many of Jinghan's plans can be carried out.

There are so many things, even if Jinghan only needs to use her brain, it is very tiring. Both Xue and Qian advised Jinghan to worry less, but Jinghan was not the kind of person who could let things go. Ms. Xue had no choice but to keep an eye on her daughter and get her more delicious food.

"Mom, look at me, how fat have I become? You are still giving me all these good things to eat, and you are not afraid that I will become a fat man?" Jinghan complained as soon as she saw Mr. Xue bringing something.

"Nonsense, where are you fat? Except for your belly, you don't see any meat on your body. Eat well and grow strong, and it won't be difficult to give birth to children." Mrs. Xue didn't care what her daughter said. Put it in front of Jinghan and watch her finish it.

Jinghan sighed and had no choice but to bite the bullet and eat. Fortunately, she has a very good appetite now and is often hungry, so these things are basically not wasted.

Zixuan finished his business and came back, "Mom, the weather is nice these days. I want to take Jinghan out for a walk. She is more than seven months pregnant and should move around. This winter, she is afraid of the wind, so she Not much movement."

Jinghan felt happy. She had been holding it back for a while and wanted to go out for a walk. "Ms. sir, where do you want to take me?"

"Go and see the cranes. I know a place where there are many kinds of cranes. At this time of year, the cranes have already flown back." Zixuan smiled, knowing that Jinghan would be moved by this suggestion.

When Jinghan heard this, she immediately raised her eyes and asked, "Is it Xianghaipao or Momoge?" There are cranes in both places.

"It's Xianghaipao. Let's go there next time, Momoge." Zixuan was not surprised at all that Jinghan knew this. Zixuan felt that he was not as knowledgeable as Jinghan about this place. Jinghan put in a lot of effort and visited almost the entire Zhendong County.

"That's great. I have always regretted not being able to see the crane last year. I must go and see it this time." Jinghan almost jumped up with joy.

Mrs. Her temper is wild."

"Mom, it's okay. My aunt also said that Jinghan should move around more and suffer less when she is waiting to give birth. Besides, she is always at home this winter, and she is really depressed. You see, when she was at our place before , How has Jinghan ever been so free?" Zixuan was not annoyed, still smiling gently and insisting on taking Jinghan out.

"Mom, please let me go out. If I stay at home any longer, I will almost die of suffocation." Jinghan held her mother's hand and couldn't help but coquettishly said.

Qian happened to come in from outside and saw this scene and couldn't help but find it funny. "Jinghan, you are almost a mother, why are you acting so coquettishly?"

"Aunt, you came just in time, please tell my mother quickly. Zixuan wants to take me out, but my mother just doesn't agree." When Jinghan saw Qian, she felt like she saw a savior, and quickly let Qian Shi begged for mercy from her mother.

"Get out? Where are you going?" Qian asked strangely.

"Xianghaipao, we want to go there. Jinghan wants to see cranes. There are many cranes there." Zixuan said with a smile. "It just so happens that I have nothing to do these days, so I just want to go out for a walk with her. Why don't aunt accompany us? It's really beautiful there."

"Okay, then let's go together, otherwise your mother and I won't be at ease. It just so happens that we also go to see what many cranes look like." Qian turned around and looked at Xue, "Sister, let's go together , It doesn't matter, Jinghan's fetal image is very stable, it's okay. Besides, she really should go out for a walk. I feel that there are a lot of things that are bothering me, so I might as well let her go out and relax. Good for kids too.”

When Jinghan heard this, she was so happy. "Thank you, aunt. Let's pack our things and leave as soon as possible." She was really depressed at home. When she heard that she could go out, she was as happy as a child.

Xue had no choice but to nod in agreement, "You don't need to do the work, we can just clean up. You just stay here." Xue glared at her daughter, and then led Ruyu into the house to pack things.

Qian smiled and followed into the house, leaving Jinghan and Zixuan sitting on the wicker chairs in the yard. "Zixuan, thank you, you understand me best." Jinghan said with gratitude.

"Silly girl, you are my wife. Of course I understand you. This winter has been really difficult for you. When the child is born, I will accompany you to take a good look at the scenery here." Zixuan stretched out his hand. Touched Jinghan's belly.

"Baby, did you hear that? Come out quickly and grow up quickly. When you grow up, daddy will take you and your mother, and we will go to the grassland to watch the sunrise and sunset together." Zixuan said to Jing Han's belly said.

Just at this time, Jinghan's stomach moved, and Zixuan felt as if his hand had been kicked. "Madam, did you see that the baby is greeting me?" Zixuan smiled a little silly.
