Valley Emperor

When Ge Ziqiang was in his hometown, although he was also farming, he was busy from the beginning of the year to the end of the year. Not only was he busy, but his whole family was busy. Even his eldest son, who was only six years old, helped out in the fields. live.

Their family was busy every day, but in the end they still couldn't get enough to eat.

Even though the empire has already implemented a series of agricultural policies, including rent-to-purchase orders, rent-restriction orders, stepped agricultural tax, gentry-integrated tax payment, grain price protection, reclamation orders, promotion of new grains, promotion of fertilizers, construction of water conservancy facilities, etc. Policies to reduce the burden on farmers and increase food production.

However, the area of ​​arable land is limited, the population is increasing rapidly, and because the grain output is relatively limited these days, it is now in the mainland of the Datang Empire.

After working hard for a year, the farmers will never die of starvation. No matter how bad it is, there are still sweet potatoes to eat!

But if you want to eat well and eat well, it is very difficult.

Rao is Li Xuan, the sage of all ages greater than the sun, and he didn't dare to say that the people of the entire empire were fed.

Of course, even so, Lin Ziran was still complacent!

After several thousands of years of history in China, he is the only one who can rule a dynasty that cannot starve to death!

Even if there is a natural disaster somewhere, the empire can quickly provide relief, thereby avoiding a large-scale famine.

But not dying from starvation does not mean that you are full and eating well!

Ge Ziqiang's family belonged to such a family, with a large number of young and old. Back then, the land was divided by renting instead of purchasing, but the number was limited, and then part of the land was rented.

It is also according to the government's instructions to grow sweet potatoes and corn in the wasteland in the fields!

But what!

Still can't get enough!

Of course, this is not his family's business. In their hometown, because of the large number of people and the small number of people, it is difficult for most people to eat enough.

In the end, Ge Ziqiang was the one who gritted his teeth and brought his whole family to immigrate!

And for those who have nothing and are forced to emigrate in the end, and even after arriving in immigrant settlements, even their rations need to be settled through official immigration loans.

Ge Ziqiang and his family are much better!

Although their family used to not have enough to eat in their hometown, they were still people with land and houses.

That is, the land is a little less, and the house is broken. After choosing to immigrate, the real estate is only sold for ten yuan.

The main reason is that their land is all government-owned private land purchased by rent. The nature of this land is different from ordinary private land. Ordinary private land can be bought and sold freely, and no one cares how much you buy. Of course, Deliberately engaging in low-priced sales contracts to avoid tax evasion, the tax department will still manage it.

If the government is private, it will not work, and there can be no trade between private individuals!

This official private farm was not allowed to be resold in the early years, but considering the actual situation, the Ministry of Agriculture subsequently revised the policy, and the official private farm was reclaimed by the government.

That is to say, you can sell the land if you want, but you can only resell it to the government, and the price is naturally not that high.

Coupled with the savings of more than 20 yuan accumulated by the family for many years, after Ge Ziqiang and his family arrived in Xinnan County, they still had more than 30 yuan of savings on hand.

Now there are hundreds of acres of land falling from the sky, and he has seen all the land, it is very fertile, and the government has already built water conservancy facilities nearby in advance.

After looking at these lands in detail, Ge Ziqiang went to the world of several old immigrants next door to have a look.

When he saw that the millet planted on other people's land could hardly see the end, he was stunned.

For the first time in his life, he has seen a large field of wheat that can hardly be seen to the end.

After asking, I found out that this wheat field has more than 1,000 acres!

More importantly, this wheat field belongs to only three families!

Soon he had a question, even if there was so much land, how could the manpower of those few neighbors reclaim and plant such a large area of ​​land?

Even using cattle, I'm afraid it won't be too busy!

But soon his neighbors gave him the answer, don't use cows, use horses!

With this explanation, Ge Ziqiang realized that there was little land in his hometown, so he had to work hard, and it was cheap to raise cattle, so it was better to use cattle.

But in this part of America, there are many places that still have to use horses.

After all, any citizen of the empire who is willing to come to North America can get free land, and can buy land from the government at a cheap price in the future. Of course, these land must be reclaimed within a limited time, and the government will directly confiscate the land. redistributed.

This also means that even ordinary new immigrant families can obtain hundreds or even hundreds of acres of land at every turn.

With so much land, it is difficult to be heavier by relying on manpower alone, and it must rely on accumulating power.

At the same time, because there is a lot of land, and there is no deep cultivation, it is most suitable to use horses to cultivate the land.

The American affairs yamen government also vigorously promoted the horse farming policy in the Americas, encouraging farmers to use horses to cultivate the land.

This is the same as the empire's implementation of horse farming in some local provinces, especially in the frontier provinces of Northeast China, Hefeng, Hexi, Xibe, and Haidong, where the horse farming policy is vigorously promoted.

It's just that whether it's a cow or a horse, these are not materials provided to immigrants for free.

According to relevant immigration policies, new immigrants in basically all regions will get free land, necessary seeds, and necessary agricultural tools.

After arriving at the locality, if the immigrant has no rations, he can also get a one-year interest-free ration, which will be returned year by year after one year, and it belongs to the type of borrowing and repaying food, which is very different from ordinary immigrant loans.

In addition, some areas will provide free tickets or subsidies.

In addition, the Royal Bank will also provide immigrants with immigration loans, which are mainly to allow immigrants to expand production.

Although Ge Ziqiang's family has a deposit of more than 30 yuan, after he made plans, he first applied for a one-year interest-free ration for his family, and then went to the branch of the Royal Bank to apply for an immigration loan.

With this immigrant loan and his own savings, he was barely able to buy and feed horses.

After all this, he brought a horse back home!

On the road, the more he saw the two horses, the more he liked them.

Horse sellers say that these are heavy draught horses from Europe and then locally bred, called New South Horses.

This new southern horse has a huge body, well-developed muscles, relatively short legs, and a shoulder height of 1.63 to 1.73 meters, but the most important thing is that it has good endurance, and it can also adapt to the climate of North America.

This new South Horse was bred on a large scale in a short period of time, and then widely used in North America and other overseas territories of Datang.

This Xinnan horse is a very pure draught horse. It is huge in size and also has a huge appetite. Ge Ziqiang pondered that it would cost a lot to just feed this horse, but even so, he still bought this horse. New South Horse.

Without the help of such heavy-duty draught horses, it is impossible for their family to reclaim the hundreds of acres of land.

And as long as you use the help of this heavy-duty draught horse to reclaim enough land, then the cost of raising horses will naturally come out, and then you can make more money.

He has already confirmed this to several neighbors.

When the horses were pulled back, Ge Ziqiang's family started a busy career in reclamation.

At the same time, like them, they are all immigrants, but he chose He Xihua, who lives in Kuli, Haidong Province, and ushered in an important moment in his life.

His father arrived in Curry by train, and then proposed to the family of Wu Laosan, who was next door, to He Xihua. After changing the marriage certificate, the marriage was officially confirmed.

At this time, He Xihua also has a fiancée, and this fiancée will officially marry him and become his wife three months later.

For the future life, He Xihua is full of hope and more motivated.

Because he was about to get married, He Xihua planned to repair the small wooden house he lived in. He didn't dare to say what kind of big brick and tile house he would build, but he had to expand it by one or two, and then he had to ask someone to build some furniture.

Of course, these are all free of charge. The three of them went to battle together, and then Wu Laosan also called a few neighbors to come to help. It took a few days to complete it~www.wuxiaspot.com~ just Although the neighbors come to help without paying, but they have come to help you, and you will always have to give good food and drink.

For this reason, he specially killed two chickens and sold one of his own pigs.

The pork was directly dragged away by the butcher, and the pig was to be sold for money and then repaid the loan.

But still specially left some leftovers for extra meals.

I went to the city specially and made a few pounds of wine.

After all, it actually cost a lot of money.

But looking at the new wooden house, which was more than doubled in size and much brighter, He Xihua smiled, and then looked back at the little lady of the Wu family who helped to cook, his fiancee, not to mention how good he was.

Perhaps realizing that He Xihua was looking at her again, the little lady of the Wu family raised her head and looked over, but after just one glance, she quickly lowered her head, and her face was already flushed.

Seeing that the second son is doing well here, and the third son's farm is also starting, although Father He is happy on his face, he is still not very satisfied in his heart.

In his opinion, he has raised three sons, none of them are promising, all of them are honest people who are kicked and can't let a fart come out.

Not to mention other things, these three sons were not even selected to join the army!

It really made him not proud.

Their He family is just a traditional farm family, but Father He has always been unwilling!

He desperately hopes that his family can produce a promising one!

It is best to join the army as you did back then, and then go one step further and become a non-commissioned officer!

Just like Fa Xiao, who joined the army with him back then, he joined the army to fight and became a non-commissioned officer. When he retired, he returned to his hometown and became a patrolman or other public officials.
