Chapter 658 Self-sufficient New Liaodong

Mao Wenlong's invitation to fight will definitely not be approved. The battle plan for next year has been determined, and Luzon and the former set.

The expansion strategy is unswerving, but it is also the purpose of the court to proceed in an orderly manner and to do what it can.

Although the development of Jilin Mansion, based on the joint efforts of the military and the people, and under the condition of full energy, somewhat exceeded the expectations of the emperor and the court.

It is also quite attractive to cross the Songhua River and enter the Songnen Plain for development and construction.

However, manpower is still the main factor restricting the advancement of Peking University. The amount of immigrants, investment, and subsidies also need to be planned and cannot be left alone.

Judging from the situation in Liaodong as a whole, although there were local disasters, the main reason was the drop in temperature, which had little impact on potatoes and rye.

At this time, we can see the advantage of large potato production.Planting one mu is worth two or three mu of traditional crops. In other words, if one year of planting yields a good harvest, it is worth two or three years.

Changes in crop varieties have also changed people's living habits.Potatoes and rye are gradually becoming the staple food of the people in Liaodong.

As for traditional crops such as rice and wheat, they are also available in the market as food supplements.All are shipped from the south and overseas.

Fish, as the most abundant source of protein in nature, is also flourishing under the advocacy and support of the imperial court.

Originally, there was marine fishery, but now freshwater aquaculture has been added.All the potholes, as well as the big pits left by digging earth and burning bricks, must be transformed into reservoirs or fish ponds, and become the collective property of the villages to which they belong.

Erya father carried two fish and walked happily on the way home.

The fish ponds outside the village have been ice-drilled for fishing. As a New Year's benefit, every family can get fish.Lao Zhang, who is in charge of fish farming, got even more, and is planning to sell them at the year-end fair!
The snow under my feet creaked, and I heard a cheerful rhythm in my ears.

Erya father walked to the gate of the courtyard and saw his wife and daughter who were hanging lanterns in the courtyard, with a smile on his face.

"Father, you're back." Er Ya looked at her father who opened the door and entered the courtyard, and waved with a smile, "Look at the lanterns made by my mother and I, which use oil instead of candles."

"Okay, it looks good." Er Ya's father nodded vigorously, showed the fish in his hand to the two mothers, and said with a smile: "Look, eat it during the Chinese New Year, and there will be more (fish) every year, which is a good omen."

Er Ya Niang urged: "Hang up the fish quickly, it will be covered with water and frozen into ice."

Er Ya's father hurriedly hung the frozen fish on the wall, and helped the mother and daughter hang up the lantern before entering the house together.

The fire under the stove was still burning, and the smoke and smoke mixed with the fragrance of the face rushed towards the face. The second girl heard the movement in the back room, and hurried in to comfort the child.

"Steamed another pot of steamed buns." Sitting in front of the stove to add fire, Er Ya showed off to her father: "I made rabbits, puppies, horses and cows. There are black-faced ones, two mixed ones, and a few more. It’s wheat flour with dates on it.”

It was an old custom to steam steamed buns years ago, especially in Northeast China. Once steamed, they were frozen. If you want to eat them, put them in the pot and heat them up, which is very convenient.

Father Erya patted his daughter's head, she was a sensible and capable girl, she suffered a lot when she was living outside.

This family can have what it is now, Erya has contributed a lot.

Erya laughed, picked two potatoes from the ashes under the stove, and gave one to her father. She held it in her hand and blew it, and broke it open.

"Go to the big market tomorrow, and dad will buy you two catties of sweet potatoes." Erya's dad knows that baked potatoes are delicious, but roasted sweet potatoes are sweeter and more fragrant.

Er Ya shook her head and refused, saying: "There are so many potatoes in the cellar, they are all delicious boiled, roasted, or fried with shreds and slices, so there is no need to waste money."

After a pause, Erya said hesitantly, "If you have spare money at home, can you buy me a book?"

"Buy it, I'll buy it tomorrow." Erya's father felt a little distressed. Anyone can go to the school in Murakami to listen and learn, but there are very few without books. The girl is sensible, but the eyes of others——

Erya grinned and said, "Mr. said, go get the couplets tomorrow, every family has them. Buy the book, and you can read it at home during the Chinese New Year. If you don't understand, you can ask the master."

"Mister is a good man." Father Erya said, "When I just came back, I saw the government gave Mr. a new year gift, including meat, wine, and a plaque!"

There are gentlemen in every village, and they do not require too much knowledge. They can teach children to read and count. Those who are basic will be given fame by the government.

Gifts are given on New Year's Day, subsidies are given in summer and winter, and the most important thing is tax exemption.After the three-year period expires, you can still take the imperial examination, which is directly the provincial examination.

Of course, there are also many assessments for teachers.There are also punishment measures for those who are perfunctory.

Although the emperor was willing to promote new ideas, changes in the field of thought were the most difficult.For scholars, it would be more uncomfortable than killing them if they were cut off from the imperial examination.

"Girls study—" Er Ya Niang came out from the back room, hesitated to speak, looked at her daughter lowered her head, softened her heart, and said with a smile: "It's a great thing for our family to have a female scholar!"

Er Ya's father smiled and echoed: "Study hard, and you will write the Spring Festival couplets and blessings for the New Year in the future."

Only then did Erya feel happy, took a piece of firewood and wrote the word "Fu" on the ground, looked around, and smiled with a bit of embarrassment.

.....................

After reviewing the documents one by one, he put them aside, and put them higher and higher, almost blocking the eyes of Liaodong Governor Wu Yongxian, so he stopped.

Taking off his glasses and rubbing his swollen eyes, Wu Yong first felt relieved.

The reconstruction of Liaodong, resettlement of immigrants, and development and construction are all policies that are different from the original or from the mainland.

After several years of implementation, the Liaodong government has been successful, and the officials have accepted and mastered the new political management methods.

What made Wu Yongxian even more gratified was that the people in Liaodong had basically gotten rid of the supply of the imperial court and achieved self-sufficiency.

This is due to the substantial increase in the land base and the cold tolerance and high yield of new crops.

Although rice, wheat, and sweet potatoes are still being transported into Liaodong, they are already commercial activities, not relief subsidies, but making money.

Of course, the people in Liaodong are still at the stage of eating enough. Potatoes, rye, and corn are not fine grains, and only fish is the cheapest non-staple food.

But in ancient times, it can be called a prosperous age if the common people can have enough food.That "bran thin" prosperity was recorded in the annals of history because of this.

Wu Yong first knew about Wansui's dedication to the development of Liaodong and the expansion of the territory to the north. Liaodong's self-sufficiency is a great achievement, which can accelerate the realization of Wansui's grand ambitions.

After resting for a while, Wu Yong first made sure that the goal of self-sufficiency had been achieved, and then laid out paper and picked up a pen to write a secret memorial to the emperor to announce the good news.

He is a cautious person, and he knows that the emperor does not rub sand in his eyes, and he hates his courtiers to deceive him the most.Therefore, he has to carefully check the reported data to make sure nothing goes wrong.
