Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    In Shangyun Town, Heitu Province, Li Da got up early. His wife's belly was getting bigger and bigger, and housework became more and more tiring. Li Da loved his wife very much, so he got up early to prepare breakfast.

    Although he has just immigrated here not long ago, Li Da does not need to worry about his future life, because the house here is newly built, and even though it is a wooden house, it is quite good.

    All kinds of daily necessities are also very abundant. Even 100 kilograms of salt are prepared for each household of the immigrants. As for food, thousands of kilograms of rice are prepared, and there are also a lot of bacon, salt and pepper.  Even if you don't do anything with fish, the food in your home will be enough to last until next year.

    The court's settling-in allowance was also distributed, which was 30 taels of silver per person. The two of Li's family received a settling-in allowance of 60 taels. In addition, there were two horses and several sheep at home, all of which were in the horse pen in the backyard.  , The sheep are shut inside the pen.

    There is a lot of land here and it is very wide, so the design of the immigrant town was also very extensive. Every household has a large area. They not only built houses for living in, but also used it to store sundries.  , firewood room, utility room, and sheepfold and horsefold behind the yard for keeping sheep and horses.

    Every household has a large area. Unlike when the Li family lived in the mountains, it was extremely difficult to find a piece of flat land. It required generations of people to continuously cultivate and level it.

    Outside the town, there is a vast wilderness of waste. It is still a wasteland with lush vegetation, which is naturally the best for grazing. It was originally part of the Crimean Khanate and was a nomadic area with rich water and grass.

    In fact, this place is very suitable for the development of agriculture. The land is black and extremely fertile. It is also very flat and open, and the water resources are abundant. Apart from being a little colder, there are no other problems at all.

    Li Da simply cooked a pot of porridge, steamed a piece of bacon, and cut it into slices to nourish his wife.

    If you are in the mountains, it is not easy to get some meat to eat. You need to be able to hunt. If you don't know how to hunt, it will be difficult to get meat.

    It is not easy to raise chickens at home, because there are many Wong Tai Sin, eagles, foxes and the like in the mountains, and they will always visit your chicken coop.

    So if you want to eat meat and live a good life in the mountains, in addition to being able to do farm work, you also need to have a craft, be able to be a carpenter, hunt, etc., all of which are fine.

    When Li Da cooked breakfast, his wife had already gotten up. The two of them finished breakfast happily. Li Da also took out his horse, put on the lasso of the carriage, loaded up his wife and drove out slowly.  I came to the small town and went to see and walk around on my own land.

    The land in the immigrant town is neatly and squarely planned, and a large field belongs to one family. The Li family's land is not far from Shangyun Town, only a few miles away, and a horse-drawn carriage is available.  Arrived very quickly.

    Let go of the lasso and let the horse eat grass by itself. Li Da also took out the sickle and started cutting the grass. The grass was brought back for feeding. The sheep at home are very thin now and need to be fed well. After a while,  After a few months, he has gained some weight, and if he kills him to feed his wife to replenish her health, it is estimated that the child will be born by then.

    The water and grass here are abundant. Li Da quickly cut a load of grass, and then looked at the hundreds of acres in front of him. They all belong to his family, but now he is worried about how he will reclaim this land.  .

    If you just rely on yourself and a hoe, you can finish the cultivation in the Year of the Monkey and the Year of the Horse.

    Li Da and his daughter-in-law were discussing what to do. People who are used to being busy are always restless.

    During the past few days since I immigrated here, I just took the horse out to eat grass, take a walk, and then cut the grass and go back to feed it. This life was really too leisurely.

    This makes them very uncomfortable. After all, people in the mountains are busy with their lives. Only by being diligent can they survive in the mountains. So they have to find something to do for themselves even if they have nothing to do.

    "That's what I think too. I'll go back to the Immigration Department to see if there are any seeds, even if it's just to plant some vegetables or something first."

    "The people at the Immigration Department said that the planting season has passed this year. If it had been two months earlier, wheat could still be planted."

    ¡°But it¡¯s June now, the busiest season of the year.??If we don¡¯t plant something, it would be really difficult.  "

    Li Da¡¯s wife also followed suit.

    "Yes, yes~ I'll ask later."

    Li Da nodded in agreement.

    When the horse was full, he hitched the carriage again and walked back slowly.

    On the way, I happened to pass by Tian Sanwa¡¯s field and saw Tian Sanwa and his wife plowing the land diligently and hard.

    "Three babies~"

    Li Da waved his hand and shouted. When Tian Sanwa heard this, she also stopped and walked over with a smile.

    This time .com Zhang Si.  "Sanwa, what are you trying to cultivate on this land?"

    "We are going to plant some potatoes, sweet potatoes, and some vegetables. We are just eating porridge and salted fish every day, and people are tired of it."

    ¡°Potatoes and sweet potatoes?¡±

    "Yes, this thing is said to have been introduced from the Golden Continent. The yield is very high. Although it is already past the planting season, the Immigration Department has said that if you plant it now, you will still get a little harvest, so I  I thought, since I have nothing to do, I¡¯ll just plant some and take a look.¡±

    Control the big one and control the owl.  "Even if there is no harvest this year, we can accumulate some experience for next year's planting and find something to do for ourselves. How can we people in the mountains have so much time to spare?"

    Tian Sanwa said with a smile.

    "Yes, yes, I think so too. I was going to the Immigration Department to get some seeds and see if I could plant something."

    When Li Day heard this, he immediately nodded in agreement.

    "The Immigration Department said that the climate in Black Earth Province is similar to that in Liaodong Province. It is colder in winter, which is very different from our hometown. You can't grow rice here, you can only grow wheat, barley, corn, and potatoes.  , onions, beets, soybeans, canola, sunflowers and the like.¡±

    "Now that the main season is over, we will be busy next year. Several hundred acres of land, plus the unowned land outside, can be reclaimed and planted with various farmers.  Then you won¡¯t have to worry about food and drink.¡±

    ¡°The land here is extremely fertile, and you will get whatever you plant, unlike the land in our mountains, which is very barren, and nothing will grow well.¡±

    "Isn't that right? I heard that this place used to be a pasture for the Tatars, specially used for grazing cattle and sheep. Gee, what a good land. The soil is completely black. They actually used it for grazing cattle and sheep. It was a waste of natural resources.  ah."

    "So, this land was occupied by us Ming people."

    "I heard from people at the Immigration Department that next year, the court will allocate a batch of cultivators. Then you can just use that cultivator to cultivate the land. They said that the machine is very powerful and can be used to cultivate the land in just one day.  It can cultivate hundreds of acres of land, and I don¡¯t know what kind of machine can be so powerful.¡±

    ¡°I have also heard people say that in Ha Trung and Nam Van provinces, cultivators and harvesters are very common. When they harvest wheat and rice, the harvester just passes through it once, and the wheat and rice are harvested.  It¡¯s over, it¡¯s very fast.¡±  hou tia nla ixsw.c om Zhang Si

    "Here in Hezhong Province, one person often has to plant hundreds of acres of fields a year. They have so many fields that they can't finish them all. Then they divide the fields into areas. If they plant one area this year, they won't plant it next year.  Let it grow grass and other things, and then put cow and sheep dung and the like into it to increase the fat. It is only in the third and fourth years that the land is planted, so the farmers grow well and have a high harvest.  "

    "Real or false? If this good land is not cultivated, why has it been deserted for a year or two?"

    ¡°The purpose is to maintain the fertility of the land. If we farm every year, the fertility of the land will be seriously lost, so if it is deserted for a day or two, we will replenish the fertility of the field by adding cow and sheep manure.¡±

    "That's right, but if the cultivated fields are left uncultivated for a year or two, a lot of weeds will grow, and they will have to be cultivated again."

    "That's not true, but they said it would be easy to cultivate fields if you have a cultivator."

    "There are many people from Nanyun Province and Hezhong Province here in Shangyun Town. When the time comes, we will learn more from them. The outside is different from the inside of our mountains. Farming is all knowledge."

    "That's true. We grow rice in the mountains, but we can't grow rice here. We don't know how to grow wheat or something like that. We need to learn more when the time comes."

    "It is necessary to learn more. People from Nanyun Province are the closest to here. Those people are considered locals and know this place best. When the time comes, learn more from them."

    ¡°I don¡¯t know what this cultivator or harvester looks like, but it¡¯s so powerful.¡±

    "It is said that there are even machines for pounding rice. It is fast and good" Zhi Da Zhi Xiao
