The next day, Xinye Castle.

Just as dawn was dawn, the city began to get restless. This day was a major day for the people, because they finally had to collect food for a hundred days.

The harvest this time is different from previous years. This time, Zhang Xiu promised to give them half of the output, which is unheard of. Moreover, the poldered fields promoted by Zhang Xiu this year are very effective.

Judging from the growth of rice in the polder fields, it is extremely gratifying. I am afraid that there will be a bumper harvest this year. If there is food, their wives and children will not have to go hungry. These are all given to them by Zhang Xiu.

As a sound of gongs sounded, it meant that the curfew was lifted. For a moment, countless people came out one after another, holding various farm tools and heading straight for both sides of the Qingshui River.

A few moments,

The two sides of the clean water,

With Zhang Xiu's order, countless people began to rush to harvest their own rice, and even some children went up to help in an interest.

In the fields, the farmers' faces turned red, sweating profusely but didn't feel tired at all. They all smiled happily, especially when they watched the rice in the fields grow happily, they couldn't stop smiling.

"Old Li, your rice grows so well. One acre of land can produce two or three hu of grain? I remember that your family planted fifty acres of land, which can be divided into more than twenty hu of grain, right?"

"This year's season is good, and the polder field method promoted by Minggong has increased a lot of yields. I am not afraid of water. It is estimated that one acre of land can produce three or four hu of grain, which is much higher than ordinary fertile land."

"Three or four hu? So much grain is coming out?"

"Hey, your family also planted dozens of acres of land?

The hard days have finally come to an end. I have dozens of hu of grain. I will sell it for the New Year to exchange for money. I will lick two clothes for women and children, and sell a few pieces of fat to satisfy the children's cravings. I can't make them suffer."

Among countless fields,

The people are radiant and each has hope.

During the chat, everyone admired Zhang Xiu and said that he was disrespectful to his children. They did not know the emperor or the aristocratic family, but they only knew that Zhang Xiu treated them well.

They supported Zhang Xiu, and they were willing to send their children to the military camp, follow General Zhang Xiu to make achievements and defend their country.

Because Zhang Xiu said to them, there is a family only if there is a country!

They told their children that although they were worried that their children would die in battle, they said the same thing to their children!

"The horse and horse are proud of their corpses, and they are afraid of the enemy and chase the house."

At this time, the water is clear.

Jia Xu strolled over and said excitedly: "Lord, you're so happy, you're so happy, the rice harvest is good!"

"How much grain is produced per mu?"

"By the lord, these rice produce about six hu of grain per mu, and more than five hu of grain is dried. If you remove the shell, four hu of grain should be left. It is more than twice the amount of ordinary fertile fields, and it is a bumper harvest!"

Jia Xu was quite excited. The method of poldering was indeed extraordinary. After this time, Nanyang would no longer be short of food.

"Double?"

Zhang Xiu thought in his mind that four hu hu was about 480 kilograms of rice. In the late Han Dynasty, there were indeed many hu of rice yields of two or three hu hu. I think that after harvesting these thousand hectares of fertile land, Nanyang will be rich and not weak in Jingxiang.

"Let the villagers work harder and strive to harvest all the rice within ten days and dry it and put it in bags."

"No," Jia Xu retreated.

On that day, the official grain collection standards were released and were collected according to the yield of four hu of grain per mu.

When the people heard this, they were also happy. Each of their families had dozens of acres of land and excess millet. They could exchange money for some vegetable oil to satisfy their cravings.

…………

Just seven days,

Zhang Xiu obviously underestimated the resilience of these people. They almost didn't stop and worked for seven days in one go, which was even harder than Ya's harvester.

Next is the glutinous rice drying ground. They have already prepared it. They are all pressed out by old buffaloes and rock mills, which are extremely hard and solid.

I think it won’t take long to come, and the treasurys in various parts of Xinye will be filled, and there is no need to rush to live a life.

At this time, at the polder field.

Zhang Xiu walked along the ridge of the field, his eyes a little excited. He saw many crab holes, some eel holes, many, and even some giants showed their arrogant appearance.

This is also another benefit of polder fields. You can catch fish, turtles and crabs, but there are many things. It was just that catching fish was difficult in ancient times, especially in deep waters.

The polder fields are staggered and can be drained or diverted. Now the rice has been harvested, so it is better to drain the fish. Moreover, September is the most plump time for fish, shrimps and crabs.

With a command, the bamboo weaving was blocked at each water release outlet, and slowly released water from high to bottom.

As the water level of the polder fields decreased, the people onlookers commented. There were really a lot of fish and shrimp in the ditches, with large crucian carp shaking their dark yellow backs.

As for those big crabs, they are even more arrogant. They run everywhere, each of them as big as a fist, and they are extremely plump.

What made Zhang Xiu wonder was that these people didn’t react much when they saw the fish, shrimps and crabs in the ditches, especially those big crabs, which were far less excited than seeing the food.

Could it be that the joke I watched online is that I was famine in my early years, and some people ate hairy crabs to fill their hunger and reluctantly survived the famine? This is really a luxury!

"Hu'er, hurry up, go and catch all these crabs, and there are also turtles. No matter how much you can move, I will catch them and keep them and eat them slowly."

Zhang Xiu smacked the corner of her lips. No one ate this good thing, which was a pity.

Of course, it’s not that the people don’t want to eat fish. It’s really that the fish must have oil and salt to be delicious. However, oil and salt are very expensive, so how can ordinary people afford it?

However, if you eat fish, do not add oil and salt. The earthy smell is too strong, and they rarely eat it when there is food.

"Lord, why do you want this crab shell? This crab shell is not oily and watery, and it is not delicious at all." Hu Cheer curled his lips, it seemed that he had eaten it.

Zhang Xiu: "???"

Alas, no one eats hairy crabs sold in later generations now. It’s so sad! As for rice weighing by pounds, these people eat so vigorously. Is there any law in this world?

"Not so much nonsense, you can just catch it."

Hu Cheer scratched his head and took a group of personal guards to get busy. At this time, there were really a lot of fish, turtles, and crabs. Not long after, three or four buckets of hairy crabs were sent to Zhang Xiu.

As for the turtles, they were all wild, and they were at least a few hundred or ones in the future, but they were counted in the wooden barrels.

There were a lot of wild crucian carp, and there were also many other grass carp, carp, etc. Seeing Zhang Xiu dazzled, he kept calling Hu Cheer.

As for the river shrimps, they were all four or five inches long and were jumping around the aquatic plants, making Zhang Xiu feel itchy when he saw them.

This made Hu Cheer busy.

It was catching turtles and catching crabs, and I had to pick up some shrimps from time to time, which was so helpless.

He didn't understand why the lord, who had always been smart, suddenly lost his brain!

The sun sets west, inside Zhang Mansion,

Zhang Xiu started to enjoy the food in the backyard.

At this time, Jia Xu strolled over and said politely: "General Hu, Xu has something to do to report to the lord, so I'll have to inform you."

"Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
