Chapter 234: Thriving in Agriculture and Animal Husbandry

After experiencing Dong Ping's last lesson, Cheng Wanli reviewed all the people around him, and only then did he feel relieved if there was no traitor. Prefect Cheng asked Wu Song whether the group of people in Liangshan posed a threat to Dongping Prefecture.

Wu Song smiled and said, "You don't want to take the exam for me. If there is no threat, you will not invite me here."

Cheng Magistrate said: "If Mangdang Mountain alone is a very small threat to us. Originally, the bandits in Mangdang Mountain had no foundation and territory, but now Song Wan went to Mangdang Mountain to defeat all the local tyrants nearby, and distributed land to the poor people and food to the hungry people. They grew stronger almost like snowballs. In addition, there was a watery mountain behind Liangshan, and the power would expand as soon as it grew, and it was inevitable that we would have the idea of ​​Dongping Prefecture."

Wu Song said: "Don't worry, sir. Song Wan's attack on the city has already made the government afraid that the court must have sent troops to encircle and suppress it. In order to defend the paradise we have finally developed for the people, please write to the court immediately. It is urgent to expand the army of the Dongping Prefecture Army in the court."

Cheng Wanli said: "Now Dongping Prefecture can be regarded as a large number of warehouses. The gathering of merchants is the most conspicuous. It is inevitable that we will be concerned about the bandits. We have enough food and grass. If there is a bumper harvest in autumn, we should not eat food. If there is enough meat, how much do you plan to expand?"

"The expansion of two thousand civilians is not a soldier, but we will train first and equip the soldiers. Just wait for the court's documents to come out, the Dongping Prefecture Army can be expanded into four thousand infantry and one thousand cavalry."

Prefect Cheng said: "It seems that you have understood the habits of the court. If you wait for the court's documents to be approved for three months without being approved, you will be able to train the people and strengthen the court and reconcile the regulations."

Wu Song smiled wickedly, and Cheng Wanli said, "I'm already optimistic about the days. I'll marry you and Wan'er on the eighth day of June."

It is April, and Wu Dalang gets married in May. The bride is the daughter of Master He's family. Wu Song gets married in June. Wu Song is already in his twenties. Cheng Wan is in her early twenties, Hu Sanniang and Pan Jinlian are all older girls, so it's getting married late.

Wu Song said: "It depends entirely on my father-in-law." Wu Song's parents are gone, so let Cheng Wanli handle it now.

Dongping Prefecture has expanded its enrollment of 2,000 strong people, and the registration is full. There are six or seven thousand qualified men alone, of which half are locals and outsiders. Today, Dongping Prefecture's handicraft industry is too developed and has formed the germination of industry.

Eating food and serving in the army can get monthly money and receive various benefits. This is a very good choice for poor families. If you become an officer, you can still win a wife and a child.

There were many registrations and the selection was fierce, and only two thousand men were selected.

Yanggu County, the county magistrate Su dressed in an official robe to check the growth of corn in the newly reclaimed fields. A small amount of corn was promoted in Yanggu County and Qinghe County. Last year, due to the small planting area, it was not publicized. This year, a small number of farmers planted experimentally, but they were all contracts signed with Tongda Seed Trading. They were harvested in autumn and they wanted to recycle them.

County Magistrate Su looked at the little girl who was not yet kneeling and said, "Mr. Jia, can this thing really produce as much as a thousand kilograms per mu?"

Jia Simin said: "This was tested last year. The yield per mu of high-yield land is 1,200 kilograms and the yield per mu of low-yield land is 800 kilograms. However, this is also a coarse grain, and the taste is not very good. Making feed can be called the king of feed. It is a perfect golden combination with soybean and sweet potatoes. In a few years, every family in Dongpingfu will plow the land and ride it with horses when they go out."

The magistrate of Su County agreed that the straw produced by one acre of land in the agricultural area is more than the grass produced by ten acres of grassland. As long as the publicity is properly promoted, the people can fully realize the importance of raising cattle and sheep, raising livestock in the agricultural area is a good way, and the output is no less than what you get from farming.

In just less than a year, Yanggu County added more than 3,000 horses, more than 2,000 cattle, and more than 500 donkeys. The veterinary medicine production workshop that is equipped with it is located in the south of Yanggu County. More than a dozen commonly used veterinary drugs are produced into pills, prescriptions, or finished powders. It is convenient for rural veterinarians to use medicine. Rural veterinarians are generally barefoot veterinarians. After a brief few months of veterinary training, they have mastered certain knowledge and learned various common medicines.

In addition to large animals, the number of pigs increased the fastest. Originally, only one pig was raised by one household, and only pigs were killed during the Chinese New Year. However, with the successful promotion of pumpkin pig farming last year, farmers generally raised three to four pigs this year. This year, with the increase in the sowing area of ​​sweet potatoes, more pigs will be produced after autumn.

The buyer guided farmers to build houses, changing the previous extensive management, and changing it to careful breeding, cleaning houses frequently, disinfecting and sterilizing insects. As the only disinfectant, the amount of quicklime has increased greatly. The boss who burns lime is happy. Which farmer should not use quicklime to disinfect the houses several times. Although thirty and twenty kilograms of quicklime per household are not worth much money, it cannot hold back the quantity.

In the evening, Wu Song invited Chao Gai in at the military camp of Dongping Prefecture and the Central Army camp.

"Brother Chao Gai, you have heard about the water of Liangshan. That boy Wang Lun has begun to expand a little recently. He was originally from them, but once the person swelled, he couldn't find the north. I have to be careful." Wu Song said.

Chao Gai said: "It's better to lead our troops to fight and destroy them."

Wu Song shook his head: "I also thought about this problem at that time. The bandits are easy to destroy, but it is difficult to eradicate. The court is **, officials exploit the people, and the people cannot live a life. This is a last resort. It is easy for us to destroy Wang Lun, but it is difficult to guarantee that Li Lun, Zhang Lun, Wang Lun is a man with great ambitions and talent, and cannot become a climate, so don't worry too much. Now it is mainly to consider that the people in Dongxi Village are rich, and it is difficult to guarantee that they are missed by the bandits. I have prepared something for you."

Wu Song stretched out his hand and asked the soldiers to open a large box. It was covered with a slab wrapped in butter paper, a long-handed double-handed knife, a short-handed one-handed knife, and a few shield samples.

Wu Song said: "Five hundred Pu Dao and a few shield samples, your carpenter in the village will do it yourself. When you go back, select a brave man in the village to lead Zhuang Ding and prevent sneak attacks from the bandits."

Chao Gai said: "My nephew Chao Meng is in the village, with extraordinary strength and great courage, but he can take this important task."

"Okay, go and go quickly, and the cavalry must not be left without a leader."

Chao Gai went back, and the two places were very close. Wu Song's concern was not unreasonable. Although Shuibou Liangshan heard Wu Song's name two years ago and was so scared that he didn't dare to take action when he saw Tongda Dache Store, after two years of development, Shuibou Liangshan, which had three or four hundred people, had grown to a scale of seven or eight thousand people. He was so brave that he would be fat. It was hard to guarantee that he would not think about Chao Gai's village.
