space farmer girl busy farming

Chapter 199 Qi Ke is finally released from prison ([-])
"Yes, we think so too. The north is bitterly cold, and it's not easy to farm. There is only one crop a year, and the grain output is very low. In the south, there are two crops a year, and the food and grass will definitely not be as tight as before."

"Not necessarily." Qi Ke looked at the five faces who looked forward to a good harvest when talking about food, hesitated for a while, and reached out to pat Ding Lin's knee next to him, "Not necessarily, don't be too optimistic."

"Why? Do you see something wrong?"

"I remember who told me that Bai Jiajun's previous defense zone had a salt lake, right?"

"Yes." The five said in unison.

"Then you have seen the saline-alkali land?"

"I've seen it, a dead place that doesn't grow grass."

"The farmlands in the coastal villages also have similar soil quality." Qi Ke's farmland sampling has not been completed, but the existing soil samples have undergone various soil analyzes and the results are not optimistic. Coupled with the geographical environment, she does not want to admit I also have to accept the reality that her [-] mu of farmland may be experiencing salinization.

"……what?!"

"The salty sea breeze has affected the soil quality of the coastal villages, and the food production has always been very low. The former East China Sea Navy deliberately raised the grain tax again and again, and maliciously kept slaves, causing many military households to flee."

"Damn it!" The boys and girls were so angry that they punched their fists.

"The first few years when the army came here, they still have to live some hard times. It is not easy for the northerners to adapt to life in the south, but it should be better than you in the north. At least the food sources are much more abundant."

"Ah, go fishing in the sea...I'll vomit to death..." As soon as the source of food was mentioned, these boys and girls immediately thought of the endless sea, and they couldn't bear it immediately.

"You get used to it after throwing up a few times. It is impossible for you not to go to sea. It is very important for villagers to go fishing at sea, but pirates are entrenched in the coastal waters, killing villagers who go to sea to rob their harvest, and they must still We have obtained the necessary information such as the way to go ashore from the villagers, otherwise, how can the pirates succeed in every crime? They must have a safe and reliable way to go ashore. "

As Qi Ke was talking, he suddenly discovered something he had overlooked before.

"Huh? The pirates went ashore to burn, kill, and loot coastal villages. It seems that there is another meaning. In addition to robbing property and women, the villagers fled to death, and the villages were abandoned. No one knew that the coasts were safe everywhere." Landing point, the pirates are protecting their landing route."

"Is that so?!"

"The task of the army is quite heavy. The base of the pirates is at sea. The army must find out all the landing points as soon as possible. No matter whether it is safe or dangerous, as long as it can make people land on the shore, it must be listed. The pirates blocked back to the sea. They frequently went ashore to smash, loot and burn, and they succeeded every time. They have tasted the sweetness, and they will definitely come again."

"Qi Ke, you're so smart, it would be great if you were a man." If a man must be stuffed into the army, he's going to be the first to be a military adviser with his trusted clerks.

"To be a man, you have to go to the battlefield. I am fine as a woman."

"Ah~"

"I still have [-] mu of farmland. Although it is already prone to salinization, the water and soil environment in Siliu Village is good. Maybe it can be saved. You must know that my land deed is written as a first-class paddy field, so it can be seen that the soil quality was indeed high. Very good, the new owner can’t blame the former owner for not taking care of the land after it changed hands, right.”
