Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 1838, Harvest season
In Shangyun Town, Black Earth Province, accompanied by the cold wind from the Arctic Circle, the entire Shangyun Town has entered the busiest season of the year.

Here in Mr. Li's field, Li Dazheng is driving a harvester to harvest his own wheat. The golden waves of wheat move with the wind, and there is a golden ocean in sight.

With the advancement of the harvester and the rotation of the machine, slices of wheat are quickly harvested.

Thanks to his early purchase of a cultivator, Li Da has reclaimed thousands of acres of land this year. Most of these thousands of acres of land are used to grow wheat. Now it is the harvest season of wheat. Looking at the wheat field in front of him, Li Da's whole body was full of joy of harvest.

How much wheat can be harvested in a wheat field of several thousand mu may only be known after the harvest is finished.

The land here is really very fertile. What can be grown in the fertile black soil, the wheat grows very well. Although Li Da is also the first time to grow wheat, he also knows from his neighbors that the yield of this wheat is quite good.

The key to the high yield is that the quality of the wheat is also very good, the grains are full, and the heavy ears bend the straw.

The machine is constantly advancing, and one bag after another is filled with wheat and pushed down. Looking back, there are already hundreds of bags.

According to Ming's immigration policy, immigrants who immigrated to Heitu province were not required to pay rent for the first few years, which meant that all the food was their own.

With so much food, Li Da felt a sense of happiness that he had never had before.

You must know that when you were in the mountains of the Qinling Mountains, there were very few fields, and the fields were also very barren, and the food production was very limited.

Although Carpenter Li's family said that they did not need to pay public grain, the grain harvested after a year of hard work is still limited, which is not enough for the family at all.

Therefore, even if they hide in the deep mountains and old forests, the life of the mountain people can only be said to be hard. Although they don't have to pay taxes or be oppressed by officials, there are rivers and lakes where there are people, and it is still the same in the mountains. Yes, big villages bully small villages, and those with more brothers bully those with few brothers, it's all the same.

Carpenter Li's family has a large family, little land, and limited food, so Li Da and Li Er are often not enough to eat. What Li Da longed for most since he was a child is to be able to eat with his belly open, and eat a full meal. If there is meat It's better if you eat more.

Now, looking at the wheat field in front of him and the bags of food behind him, Li Da knew that he would never have to go hungry again. There was so much food that his family of three couldn't finish it.

Li Da and his daughter-in-law were busy, while the baby was asleep in the cradle, and the faces of the husband and wife were filled with unconcealable smiles.

People who come out of the mountains have the same attachment to food.

The harvest season always makes people happy and happy. Even after a busy day, I am so tired that I don’t even have time to eat, but I am very happy.

"Take a break~"

Seeing that it was almost noon, General Li stopped the harvester.

"The speed of the harvester is really fast. It is estimated that we will be able to harvest all the wheat in our family in a dozen days."

Li Da looked at the area where he had been working all morning. A large area of ​​wheat fields had already been harvested. After doing the math silently, he estimated that more than ten days would be enough.

This efficiency, this speed, thousands of acres of wheat fields!

"It is estimated that 70 mu have been harvested this morning."

Li Da and his daughter-in-law made the final calculation, and then looked at the bags in the field, and the whole person laughed from ear to ear.

"How much grain do you think we can harvest this year?"

Li Da's daughter-in-law looked at the wheat field in front of her and asked.

"This mu of land weighs about 500 catties. We have planted almost 2000 mu of wheat. Calculated, we can harvest almost 100 million catties of wheat this year."

Li Da made up his mind and said.

"One million catties of wheat!"

"Are we done eating?"

After Li Da's daughter-in-law heard this, she immediately opened her mouth. Although the food in the house was already full, she knew that there must be a lot of food in this year's bumper harvest, but she still felt deeply deeply when she heard the figure of 100 million catties. was shocked.

"Where is there enough food? Most of the food still has to be sold."

"It is estimated that this grain must not be easy to sell."

"I should have listened to Wang Kaiwen at the beginning, planted less wheat, and planted more onions, potatoes, corn, etc. There is more food, and I am worried."

After thinking about it, Li Da became a little worried.

Because there is too much grain harvested this year, it is estimated that it will not be sold. In addition, there is too much grain, and there is no place to store it at home. Now I have to find a way to build a granary to store grain.

"The food is not easy to sell, is it?"

"As long as you sell it cheaper, you still worry about not being able to sell it?"

Li Da's daughter-in-law doesn't believe it. Food, such a precious thing, is still worrying about not being able to sell it?
"If you don't believe it, if someone comes to harvest the wheat, it's time to come, but do you see any merchants coming to harvest the wheat?"

Li Da shook his head and said, "Hurry up and go home to cook. I'm carrying all the wheat together. I'll find a way to build a granary here. The house is full."

"If you build a granary outside here, what should you do if someone steals it?"

When Mrs. Li heard this, she immediately said anxiously.

"Who is going to steal your food?"

"Didn't you see that every household has too much food?"

"After a while, everyone will finish their work. Let's hire some people to build some houses here to use as warehouses. We must raise more cattle, sheep and pigs next year, otherwise the grain will go bad if it cannot be sold."

Li Da thought about it and planned for next year. There is too much food to eat, and it is probably not easy to sell. It must not be wasted. We still have to find a way to use the food.

"Okay, okay, you are the head of the house, I will listen to you, I will go back to cook, and I will bring it to you later."

Li's daughter-in-law nodded again and again after hearing this, and then came to the vegetable field. In addition to planting 2000 mu of wheat, Li's family also planted a lot of vegetables, and picking a little casually is enough to eat.

The daughter-in-law went back to cook, and Li Da took advantage of the rest time to stand on a small slope and look around the land under his feet, constantly planning in his heart.

"The land here is a bit higher, and it is used to build a breeding farm, raise some pigs, and build a warehouse."

"The terrain on the west side is open and flat, so it's better to use it for farming."

"In the east, we can grow pastures, which are specially used to raise cattle and sheep. Wang Kaiwen is amazing. This year not only has a bumper harvest of grain, but also more and more cattle, sheep and pigs in the family."

"Next year, some land will be reclaimed. There is no need to worry about a lot of land. The more the better, then we can fence up some places like Wang Kaiwen, and properly herd sheep and cattle. We can also cultivate the land in rotation to let the land rest. "

Li Da silently planned his future life.

In the past in the mountains, it was a difficult life, not enough to eat, not warm to wear, living a life of poverty, everything can be seen at a glance.

But it’s different here. I immigrated here last year, and this year I’ve started to make a fortune. I can’t eat enough food, the vast and fertile land, and I have my own children.

All this made Li Da full of energy.

"I don't know what's going on with the second child's side, so finish your home affairs as soon as possible, and then go to the second child's house to see and help."

Soon, Li Da thought of his younger brother Li Er again, and was silently planning in his heart.

On the other side, here in Xiaofeng Town, Li Er is also busy with the autumn harvest. He is a little clumsy driving the harvester on his own wheat field, watching the rolling wheat waves, enjoying the joy of the harvest.

He was lucky, because his elder brother Li Da came here early last year and knew the benefits of immigration, so he also immigrated to Heitu Province immediately after the new year to catch up with the spring plowing.

And because of his brother Li Da's advice, he also bought a cultivator early on. Using the cultivator, he also reclaimed thousands of acres of land for himself, and by the way, helped others reclaim the land and earned a lot of money.

This allowed Li Er to taste the sweetness of the machine. He bought the harvester decisively early and caught up with the autumn harvest. The speed of using the machine to harvest wheat was very fast. In just ten days, the wheat in Li Er's house It's over.

"Haha, this year we can open our stomachs to eat. Thousands of acres of wheat can produce hundreds of thousands of catties of grain, so we don't have to go hungry anymore."

Li Er shouted excitedly. Behind the harvester, Li Er's daughter-in-law, Lu Shi, was busy with a big belly. Although it was obvious that she was tired, she had a smile on her face.

For the mountain people, there is no time when they are happier and more important than the harvest time, so even pregnant women with big bellies will try their best to help with some things.

Fortunately, I used a harvester, which was very fast, and I didn't have to bend over all the time, and it wasn't very tiring.

"Take a rest, take a rest~"

Li Er stopped the machine, and then hurried over to help his daughter-in-law to do things, so that his daughter-in-law could rest and rest.

"I don't know if the elder brother has finished collecting it here."

Mrs. Lu sat down to rest, and soon thought of his elder brother Lu Da. His elder brother Lu Da did not listen to persuasion and did not buy a cultivator or harvester. It seems that he is still bending over in the wheat field and is half dead from exhaustion.

"Surely not. Tens of acres of wheat fields. When can we finish harvesting with a sickle? When we finish harvesting, I will drive the harvester to help him harvest it."

"He just didn't listen to the persuasion. If he had bought a cultivator as early as I did, not only would he be able to plant a lot of fields this year, but the harvesting would not be so tiring, and it would be easier for people."

Li Er said with certainty: "With tens of acres of wheat fields, you have to bend your waist!"
