Chapter 301 The Mountain Forest Changes to a New Owner ([-])
Qi saw that it was good, so he put it away, waved his hands casually, and pretended not to care.

"It's all in the past. It's not worth being angry about the past. Anyway, I'm now a farmer's woman with some land in the mountain spring, and my life is boundless." Qi Ke shook his head, feeling happy from the bottom of his heart.

"Okay, as long as you can think about it, it's good." Bai Qing nodded slightly, it's really good not to dwell on the past.

"Stop caring about your own fun. Is the gunpowder testing ground mentioned last time within the scope of this land lease?" Cheng Feng brought the topic back to business.

"It must be. It will take several days to walk around the area on the drawing. The gunpowder test site is only half a day away from the mountain road. Otherwise, I will not be able to go back and forth in one day." Qi Ke nodded honestly, "Sizhi map shows the four directions. As for the boundary, we have to walk a few times to find out if there are any boundary markers laid by the Shen family before."

"Now that you are the landlord, you can arrange the mountain patrol yourself. Take advantage of the fine weather these two days and take us to the test site." Bai Qing and Cheng Feng have been thinking about this matter. Good to report.

"Okay." Qi Ke didn't refuse, and the matter was settled.

Talking about the present, Qi Ke guessed that the chicken breast should be marinated almost, got up and went to the kitchen to fry meat and cook noodles. The kitchen that was messed up when making pastries had already been cleaned up by diligent village women. Now The smell of her fried chicken wafted out, and soon attracted many people to watch and study, and helped her bring three big bowls of fragrant noodles to the house.

The deluxe version of beef bone soup noodles has vegetables, marinated eggs, beef, fried eggs and fried chicken breasts. The meat is served in separate bowls. For Bai Qing and Cheng Feng, they are cooked in large portions according to their appetites, one word Needless to say polite words, the bowl on the table was empty anyway, and the soy sauce used to garnish the fried eggs was poured into the bowl and eaten with noodles.

After eating the noodles, the two went out for a stroll to digest food, and chatted with the two village chiefs about the idea of ​​spring sowing. In the south, after the new year, you have to start to wait for the land to prepare for planting. In places where there are two crops a year, you have to be diligent in farming. , There is no delay, the military households can talk about anything they need, and the army will come together to find a way.

This chat was not very good, there is not too much shortage of farm tools, Qi Ke has so many craftsmen coming, and the amount of farm tools cast by Tao Fan method is very considerable, all the villagers in this village can use them, and the surplus can be sent to Erma The town unified turnover scheduling.

What is more troublesome is the shortage of farm cattle. They traveled all the way from north to south. Many animals died during the long journey, and the number of farm cattle was also affected. In this village of Six Willows, Qi Ke's old cow is only worth six. Farming cattle is not enough at all, and draft horses can also plow the land, but the stamina and strength of horses are slightly inferior to that of cattle, and cattle eat grass and horses eat grain, so it is obviously not worthwhile to use horses to plow land.

The shortage of farm cattle has hit the root, and there is even more shortage of grain seeds. The military households of the Baijia Army are used to eating wheat, and the locals eat more rice, but they also grow wheat, because they are used for pasta and rice. Cakes, but I heard the news brought by the merchants who came to buy vegetables. This year's floods, many farmers ignored the government's ban and ate the grain seeds in order not to starve to death.

Spring sowing is not a problem, the problem is where the cattle and grain come from.

This problem is a big headache, Bai Qing decided to leave this matter to his father and grandfather to worry about, and asked the court for grain seeds, but there is a drought in the north and floods in the south, and the whole country is short of grain, so it is hard to say how much grain the court can allocate .

Bai Qing sighed silently in his heart, and looked at Cheng Feng with a wry smile.
