Good farming at the foot of Changbai Mountain

Chapter 216 Development
Following these refugees, there were also many seeds of various crops from the south, which Wenhan and the others got according to Jinghan's wishes.There are rice, sesame, watermelon, cotton, beets, etc., all of which are unique to the south.Jinghan remembers that there were several famous things here in the previous life, but they don't exist now, so I want to try to cultivate them.

Although Zixuan disagreed somewhat, he respected Jinghan's decision.Besides, there is plenty of land here, but it is just a waste of land. If it is really planted, it will be a good thing.

These refugees need to be managed. Fortunately, the imperial court has dispatched [-] soldiers from Longzhou. Apart from helping manage these refugees, they also help in reclamation.Now that there are more manpower, it will be easier to open up wasteland.

Of course, Zixuan did not forget the local people. He called together the village chiefs and mayors of various villages and towns, and told them about the land reclamation policy.Now the people open up wasteland, in addition to the two-year tax exemption from the imperial court, they can also be exempted for another three years.In addition, if the people want to buy the wasteland, they can pay the money after three years, so that they don't have to take the money right away.

Of course, the more land is planted, the more food will be produced. If the produced food cannot be sold, no one will want to plant so much.With the distillery in the back, and the Sun family brothers, Zixuan promised on the spot that the county government would directly purchase the grain produced.

Now, people got excited, and for a while, all over the country opened up wasteland to prepare for farming.Anyway, if someone wants the things that are planted, what are you afraid of?
In April, the Xu family sent people to bring the duck eggs and goose eggs that Jing Han wanted.In fact, there are duck eggs locally, but Jinghan wants to use duck feathers to make down jackets, preferably white ducks, so she gets them here from home.In fact, this kind of white duck is a kind of meat-producing duck. If you want to sell eggs for it, it will not work.The duck eggs sent by the Xu family were saved for a long time.

Those who came to deliver duck eggs were of course Fang Yonggui and his wife. Zhixin was afraid that there would be no one on Jinghan's side who could artificially incubate duck eggs, so he let them come.

These duck eggs and goose eggs, Jing Han intends to let the people in Moon Pao Village raise them first.There are many wetlands and swamps on the side of Moon Pao, which are very suitable for raising these birds.If it is well raised here, it can be promoted to other places in the future.Within the scope of Zhendong County, there are many lakes and wetlands. It would be great if all of these could be utilized.

When the people in the village heard that these were given to them to raise, and when they were raised, the county government would buy them back, and everyone was naturally willing.Years ago, when selling fish, each family got a share of money, which made them very convinced of the county government.

The Fang family lived in Yueyuepao Village like this. Village head Tian was afraid that if the duck eggs were not handled properly, they would not be able to hatch.So they concentrated in several houses, and according to Li's request, they made leather into big bags.Then fill it with water, put it in a large wooden frame, put duck eggs and goose eggs on it, and hatch it slowly.

The weaving workshop also started to work. Zixuan found a lot of older girls and daughters-in-law from the county and grasslands, and asked them to learn spinning and weaving in the weaving workshop.These people also understand that if they learn it by hand, it is a craft, so they study it with all their heart.A few who learned quickly could be counted as wages. Now, the rest of the people have worked hard, and it didn't take long for these people to be able to work.

It was also a good time to shear sheep, so Chang'an and the others went to collect wool everywhere, and sent people to other places except the tribe that Jinghan they had been to.In the past two years, the relationship between Beiyuan Kingdom and the imperial court has been pretty good, and the two countries have opened up a discussion field to conduct mutual trade.So Chang'an and others asked the people of the Batu tribe to trade with the people of the Beiyuan Kingdom, and exchanged a large amount of wool from them.

In this way, a lot of wool was collected at once. Fortunately, no one thinks how valuable it is, so it can be collected very cheaply.Jing Han asked someone to set up a special place as a warehouse, and now, the whole warehouse is full.With these wools, Jinghan's heart is at least a bit relieved. Now that no one knows the value of this wool, they can collect it so easily.When people know about it, the price of wool will definitely rise in the future.

Therefore, Jing Han told Wu Ya and others to ask the tribe to raise more sheep, especially the ones that produce good wool.This is also simple, of course the herdsmen are willing.Naturally, they have a way to get the best varieties from Beiyuan Kingdom, and then multiply and become a tool for making money.Of course, this reproduction process will not be fast, and it requires everyone's joint efforts.Fortunately, after these things, several tribes on the grassland are very supportive of the county government, so no matter what happens, they are very cooperative.In this way, many of Jinghan's plans can go ahead.

With so many things, even if Jinghan only needs to use her brain, it is very tiring.Both Xue and Qian advised Jinghan to worry less, but Jinghan is not the kind of person who can let go.Xue had no choice but to keep an eye on her daughter and get her some more delicious food.

"Mother, look at me, how fat have I become? You still give me such good food, and you are not afraid that I will become a big fat man?" Jinghan complained when she saw Mrs. Xue bringing something.

"Nonsense, where are you getting fat? Except for your stomach, you don't see any flesh on your body. Eat well and grow stronger, and it won't be hard to give birth when the time comes." Mrs. Xue didn't care what her daughter said. Putting it in front of Jinghan, I have to watch her finish eating.

Jinghan sighed, and had no choice but to bite the bullet and eat.Fortunately, she has a very good appetite now, and she often panics with hunger, so these things are basically not wasted.

Zixuan finished his business and just came back, "Mom, the weather is good these days, I want to take Jinghan out for a walk. She is more than seven months pregnant, she should walk around, this winter, she is afraid of the wind, so Not much movement."

Jinghan was overjoyed, she was so suffocated these days, she was about to go out for a walk. "Sir, where do you want to take me?"

"To see the cranes, I know a place where there are many kinds of cranes. In this season, the cranes have already flown back." Zixuan smiled, knowing that Jinghan would be moved by this proposal.

When Jinghan heard it, she raised her eyes immediately, "Is it Xianghaipao, or Momoge?" There are cranes in these two places.

"It's Xianghaipao, Momoge, let's go next time." Zixuan was not surprised that Jinghan knew this, and Zixuan couldn't match Jinghan's understanding of this place.Jinghan put in a lot of effort and traveled almost the entire Zhendong County.

"That's great. I've always regretted not being able to see the crane last year. I must go and see it this time." Jinghan almost jumped up happily.

Xue frowned, "Be honest with me, and don't look at your body. You have such a big belly, why do you have to go out? Zixuan, you are too used to Jinghan, just let it go." Her temper is rambunctious."

"Mother, it's okay. My aunt also said that Jinghan should move around more, so that she will suffer less when she is born. Besides, she is always at home this winter, and she is really suffocated. You see, when we were there before , where has Jinghan been so idle?" Zixuan was not annoyed, still smiling gently, insisting on taking Jinghan out.

"Mother, just let me go out, if I stay at home any longer, I will almost be suffocated to death." Jing Han held her mother's hand, and couldn't help but coquettishly said.

Qian Shi happened to come in from the outside, and seeing this scene, he couldn't help feeling amused. "Jinghan, you are almost becoming a mother, why are you acting so coquettish?"

"Auntie, you came just in time. Tell my mother quickly. Zixuan wants to take me out, but my mother just doesn't agree." When Jinghan saw Qian Shi, it was like seeing a savior, and hurriedly let Qian Shi pleaded with his mother.

"Get out? Where are you going?" Qian asked a little strangely.

"Xianghaipao, we want to go there to see. Jinghan wants to see cranes, there are many cranes there." Zixuan laughed. "It just so happens that I have nothing to do these days, so I want to go out with her. Auntie, why don't you come with us, it's really beautiful there."

"Okay, then let's go together, or else your mother and I won't be at ease. It just so happens that we also go to see what the cranes look like." Qian looked back at Xue, "Sister, let's go together It doesn't matter, Jinghan's fetal image is very stable, it's fine. Besides, she really should go out for a walk. These days, I find a lot of things bothering me. It's better to let her go out to relax, yes Children are fine too."

When Jinghan heard this, she was happy. "Thank you, auntie. Then let's go and pack up our things. We should start as soon as possible." She was really suffocated at home, and when she heard that she could go out, she was as happy as a child.

Xue Shi had no choice but to nod in agreement, "You don't need to work, we can clean it up. You stay here obediently." Xue Shi stared at her daughter, and then led Ruyu into the house to pack things.

Qian Shi smiled, and followed into the house, leaving Jinghan and Zixuan sitting on wicker chairs in the yard. "Zixuan, thank you, you know me best." Jing Han said gratefully.

"Silly girl, you are my wife, of course I understand you. This winter, it is really difficult for you. Waiting for the child to be born, I will accompany you to have a good look at the scenery here." Zixuan stretched out his hand Touched Jinghan's belly.

"Baby, did you hear that? Come out quickly and grow up quickly. When you grow up, Daddy will take you and your mother to the grassland to watch the sunrise and sunset together." Zixuan said to Jing Han's stomach said.

Just at this moment, when Jinghan's stomach moved, Zixuan felt as if his hand had been kicked. "Miss, do you see that the baby is greeting me." Zixuan smiled a little silly.
