Chapter 47 The Joy of a Good Harvest (1)

At this time, Huang Laifu walked to the table with a wine bowl and toasted to the various military subordinates. The officers naturally followed him.

Seeing Huang Laifu like this, all the military subordinates below stood up. When Huang Laifu toasted them one by one, many people were so excited that their faces were flushed and their words were incoherent.

At this time, Huang Laifu walked to the third son's father. The third son's father was so excited that he couldn't stand steadily. Huang Laifu raised the bowl and said to him: "Uncle, thank you for sending a good son."

The third son's father knelt down at once, saying that the adults dared not, so he killed the old man.

Huang Laifu laughed loudly and said to Zhang Dasan beside him: "The young man is a good man, very strong, work hard in the military camp and strive to make contributions in the future, ah."

Zhang Dasan's face was flushed, and he tried hard to make himself stand up straight, and replied loudly: "Yes, sir, juniors will definitely not disappoint you."

Huang Laifu nodded with satisfaction, toasted at the banquet, and returned to the banquet.

When the banquet was about to end, Huang Laifu said: "We military and civilians united in one family. From now on, Wuzhai Fort will be your home. If you have any difficulties, just come to us.

"He announced some policies on the inhabitant army, in addition to the disability pensions agreed on in the recruitment notice, there are several more.

For example, if the military members of Wuzhai Fort come to Wuzhai Fort to buy rice and sell vegetables, they can have some preferential prices. For example, during the Chinese New Year and the festival, there will be a condolence team in the fort. Each family will send a few kilograms of meat, a few packs of rice and flour, and a few New Year pictures of children and grandchildren to express their condolences, or take them to the military camp to participate in some party activities, which will definitely make them feel proud of being military families.

Such treatments make people feel like they are in a dream. If someone in the family joined the army in the past, I was embarrassed to mention them, for fear of being despised and joked, now everyone can only be proud in their hearts.

His children were selected as soldiers from Wuzhai Fort, and they were all real men. They chose one in a hundred and were definitely against the tofu and shoddy soldiers from other places.

The monthly salary income of your child can not only support the whole family’s food and clothing, but also provide various benefits. It can ensure the rest of your life, and according to what the adults say, that is dignity and glory.

Someone from your family joined the Wuzhaibao flag army, so you will definitely be respectful!

That night, many people were drunk. Many people were sleepless all night. That night, I don’t know how many military families had a long talk with their children and told them all night.

The next day, Huang Laifu gave the recruits five days off and asked them to go back first. He handled the family affairs so that they could come back to train with peace of mind. Anyway, the autumn harvest was coming, and he was too busy for a while and he was involved in the corps.

It can be slowed down for a few days. Since many new troops are recruited, there are enough staff in each farm in Wuzhai Fort, which will not affect their autumn harvest.

When these new soldiers came home with their families, Huang Laifu also asked Deputy Qianhu, Yang Baihu and others to organize some elderly and old soldiers in Wuzhaibao who were idle and ok, as well as some business representatives to send them home with drums and drums.

It attracted countless onlookers along the way.

It’s not enough to send it home after beating the drums. After arriving at home, I still nailed a “Military Glory” brand on the doorstep of each house. With this brand, there are also white Anjia silver and white rice and flour cloth.

The sound of firecrackers was very lively and made them very proud. Looking at the envious expressions of others, all the military subordinates looked as if they were. The selected soldiers also tried their best to look majestic and realized that they had become much more sensible.

The event was very effective. It truly achieved the public opinion effect of "one person joins the army, the whole family is glorious", and also made the Wuzhaibao flag army a place that all parts of the surrounding Wuzhaibao yearn for.

August 16, 1590.

I just finished eating mooncakes yesterday and celebrated the success of recruitment. Before the joy was over, the entire Wuzhai Fort was immersed in the joy of harvest. There were laughter and laughter everywhere, and people with smiles everywhere.

This morning, Wuzhai Fort mobilized the entire Wuzhai Fort and began wheat harvesting.

The fire broke out in August. Although the Tun Ding who harvested wheat in various farms sweated like rain, the joy of harvest rippled on their faces, heavy, and the golden ears bent their waists, but all the hard work was worth it.

Wuzhai Fort, Huang Laifu Datian Village.

By the Qinglian River, the land of Huang Laifu River is still rotating continuously, and this kind of water truck has been lined up along the river for more than a dozen wheels, irrigating the fields around the river at high power.

With sufficient water irrigation and advanced working methods like a farm, the results have come out now.

This Huanglaifu Datianzhuang has nearly a thousand acres of land surrounding it, which is the best and fertile part of the Huang family’s privately owned 10,000 acres of land in Wuzhaibao in the early days. The farmhouse system was originally started by Huanglaifu Datianzhuang. Therefore, the farmhouses of Huanglaifu Datianzhuang usually have a sense of superiority, because compared with the villages of other farms, they are the earliest people around them.

Since the Huang family's private fields such as Huang Laifu Datianzhuang do not need to be distributed to other officers of Wuzhai Fort, these various treatment and rewards will be more than other farms of Wuzhai Fort.

At this time, on the fields by the riverside, Wang Bange, the manager of the farm, looked at the rolling wheat waves in front of him, holding the heavy ears of wheat in his hand, and couldn't help crying loudly. He was used to seeing the miserable harvests in the farm in the past, but he didn't expect that the farm would have such a bumper harvest this year.

According to his estimates, this year, the 1,000 acres of land in Datianzhuang, Huanglaifu, can produce as much as three stones per acre.

What is the three stone? Changsha, which is known as Huguang and has the most abundant grain production in the world. It is also one of the four well-known rice markets in Daming. It only produces three stones of rice per mu.

In Jiaxing, Huzhou and other places, the maximum rice yield is only four stones.

This is still the rice in the south of the Yangtze River. If it is placed among the various wheats in the north, the best fertile fields will be at most 2 stones per mu in a good harvest. Generally speaking, it is one stone. If you encounter natural disasters and man-made disasters, it will produce a few buckets per mu, or even no harvest in pellets.

In a bitter and cold place like Wuzhai Fort, it can produce three stones of wheat per mu. How amazing is this?

Brother Wang Ban was considered an old man from Datianzhuang. When he was a tenant from the Huang family, he was the tenant from the farm. After Huang Laifu reformed the farm system, he became the manager of Huang Laifu Datianzhuang. From then on, he bid farewell to the days of hunger and lived a well-dressed life. Everyone was conscientious. Young Master Huang is now Lord Huang, so kind. If everyone doesn’t work hard, then are they still humans?

Although the farm system formulated by Huang Laifu has regulations on the fact that lazy people will be subject to strict punishment, everyone is doing things consciously and never dares to be lazy. Now it has finally come true.

Not to mention the monthly grain reward, but only the total output reward. The village has more than 1,100 acres of land, 50 people from the village, and 5 people from the small managers and one person in charge.

According to Huang Laifu regulations, if the average per mu yield in this village reaches one stone by the end of the year, the ordinary village managers will reward each of them with one stone of grain, the small manager will reward three stones of grain, and the manager will reward ten stones of grain.

If the average yield per mu reaches two stones, the ordinary farmer will reward each person with three stones of grain, the small manager will reward ten stones of grain, and the manager will reward fifty stones of grain.

If the average yield per mu reaches three shi, ordinary farmers will reward 10 shi of grain at the end of the year, small managers will reward 20 shi of grain, and managers will reward 100 shi of grain.

At present, the grain yield per mu of Huanglaifu Datianzhuang has reached three shi per mu, which means that in addition to monthly grain and rewards, each of the farmers will also receive a reward of 10 shi or 100 shi per person. How happy it is.

At this time, all the people from Huang Laifu Datianzhuang were crying and laughing at the heavy wheat ears in front of them. In the end, it was Wang Ban Ge who came to his senses first. He was worthy of being a manager and his self-control was higher than others.

He let out tears and said to everyone: "Everyone hurry up, work hard, and harvest these wheats. Don't miss the adults' affairs. Do you understand?"

The servants of the village all said, "Sir, don't worry, we know what we know, we will never miss the time to harvest the wheat."

Brother Wang Ban held the wheat grains in his hand and said happily: "That's good, we'll start working."

The harvest situation continues to occur in various farms of Wuzhaibao. The main village of Wuzhaibao No. 1 Farm is full of tears. Thank God, thank God Huang Laifu... The second farm of Wuzhaibao, the third farm of Wuzhaibao... From Huang Laifu Datianzhuang, to other farms of Huangjia, to various farms of Wuzhaibao, there are harvests everywhere and smiling faces everywhere. The final statistics are:

Among the more than 1,000 acres of land in Datianzhuang in Huanglaifu, the yield per mu of wheat grain was the highest, reaching about three stones per mu. The second was the other 10,000 acres of land in Huang's family, with an average of two stones and five dou.

This year, the newly cultivated farms of Wuzhaibao have also achieved a bumper harvest of more than 200,000 mu of land. The average yield per mu is about two stones, and in some remote places, there are also five stones per stone.

The final estimate is that Wuzhai Fort will harvest a total of 430,000 shi of wheat grain. Now the food price in the northern border towns of Daming is rising, and even one tael of silver cannot buy a stone of rice. This 430,000 shi of grain, if it is discounted, will reach 450,000 shi of silver.

Shocked, this achievement really shocked everyone in the world. Not to mention Wuzhai Fort, everyone was incredible. Even the merchants and households outside the fort couldn't believe it. Everyone rushed to the fields and studied it carefully.

You said this is really strange. Why is the wheat grain output so high in these farms created by Lord Huang Laifu? It is one aspect of having various well irrigation tools, but it is not as high as that?

What are the secrets in this?
