Chapter 85 (1/2)

A few days after Zhang Mao left, Yumenguan was filled with joy.

The land yumingchuan wanted from Zhang Mao is located in Luqing's industrial development base, on both sides of the Beida River to the north of Jingtieshan.

Lu Qing once said that it is suitable for farming. If they can occupy that place, they can be self-sufficient.

So now the land belongs to them.

In Zhang's eyes, the wasteland is almost worthless except for herding horses and sheep. They don't know how rich the mineral resources in that area are, and they don't know that the land there can be cultivated in paddy fields and dry lands with a little transformation.

Yumingchuan didn't say much, but told Zhang Mao that even if they opened the business road, there would not be much tax. The money was not enough to support more than 1000 soldiers at Yumen pass.

The land in hecang city is limited. Seeing that the land on both sides of the North River is similar to that in hecang City, they want to farm there and solve the food problem in Yumen pass.

After thinking for a while, Zhang Mao agreed to yumingchuan's request and even mobilized Anxi's garrison to help reclaim wasteland.

Yumingchuan naturally rejected his kindness and said that there are more than 1000 people in Yumen pass. As long as there is no war, they can open up wasteland without occupying the garrison in Anxi.

Zhang Mao was naturally so happy that it was settled.

So when farming began in the spring, there were a full thousand soldiers at Yumenguan, all opening up wasteland on both sides of the Beida river.

First, he built a river embankment, built a canal with stones, and invited several craftsmen from Fulu county to make several waterwheel.

Looking at the blustery wind blowing in the Beida River, Lu Qing felt it a pity not to use it, so she asked those craftsmen to figure out how to transform this water truck that depends on the flow of water into a wind water truck.

In a few days, they really made it. They installed some ”blades” on the wheels of the windmill. When the wind blew, they turned with the big wheels of the waterwheel, which was much more efficient than the original.

After that, they crushed the excavated phosphate rock and sprinkled it evenly on the field.

He planted spring wheat, cultivated paddy fields and beds, found a sunny and hidden place by the mountain, built several stone houses, left more than a dozen soldiers here to guard, and the rest returned to Yumen pass.

Lu Qing guarded her experimental field in Nanyuan lake every day and watched cucumbers and eggplants grow one by one.

Han Shuo often shakes his head to see Lu Qing. He usually finds her by the South Garden Lake.

Watch her tending plants he hasn't seen before.

”Brother, can you eat this?”

”Of course, you can eat everything in these fields. After you collect it, you can't live without your share.” Lu Qing was very happy.

There are not only cucumbers and eggplants, but also sesame, broad beans, carrots, fennel and other spice seeds. They will never worry about food in the future.

Because the land here is fertilized, the rise is better than that in hecang city at the beginning. There is no comparison between these vegetables and spices, but wheat is too obvious.

When the wheat in hecang city just sprouted tender buds, the of Nanyuan lake began to wave dark green leaves and thrive.

Feng Yi's face is a little ugly. He has planted land all his life. He thinks he still knows a lot about land, but now he is compared by a teenager.

All the manure from the stables at Yumen pass has been pulled to hecang city. In this way, the crops there are still a little worse than those in Nanyuan lake. Are those stones really fertile?

Close to may, Feng Yi's old heart was completely dead, only because the wheat growth in Nanyuan lake far exceeded that in hecang city. Seeing the dark green color, he burst into tears.
