Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 450, a bumper harvest of sugar cane
When the Beijing-Tianjin area was crazy because of the gold and silver in the Golden Continent, on the Ryukyu Island thousands of miles away, the entire Ryukyu City also became extremely busy.

More than half a year has passed, and the entire Ryukyu City has undergone earth-shaking changes. With the existence of cement, an infrastructure artifact, a huge city stands on this wild land in just over half a year.

Here at the bend of the Tamsui River, the wharf is getting bigger and bigger. At the same time, a wide concrete road is built between the wharf and Ryukyu City, which is extremely convenient.

In Ryukyu City, all the buildings are made of reinforced concrete. The buildings are neatly distributed, and the street planning is dotted with dots. All the roads are also paved with concrete roads, which are very clean and spacious.

Outside Ryukyu City, it was all barren land before, but now, after several months of reclamation, the surrounding area of ​​Ryukyu City is all fertile fields one after another.

In this fertile field, sugarcane and vegetables are planted in a large area, one piece after another, and when you look at it at a glance, you can't see the end at all.

Here in the field, a series of spacious concrete roads are also planned, and all the ditches built are also made of cement, which is very pleasing to the eye when looking at it.

At the foot of the mountains, there are also rows of pig pens, cattle and sheep pens, where a large number of cattle, sheep, pigs and other livestock are raised, and various fruit trees are planted on the mountains, which are still seedlings at this time, and it will take time Come and grow slowly.

Today is the third day of November in the twelfth year of Hongzhi. With the sound of clanging, figures emerged from every corner of Ryukyu City very quickly.

These figures quickly gathered in open spaces, and then, as usual, they threw themselves into the busyness of a new day.

The planted sugar cane is finally ready for harvest.

Like other immigrants, Shuiwa went to the fields outside the city to harvest sugarcane with sickles in their hands.

When I came to the sugarcane field, I couldn't see the end at a glance. As far as I could see, it was all sugarcane. Under the leadership of their respective captains, the teams came to the sugarcane fields assigned by them.

"Brothers, let's do it~"

Yang Dalang looked at the No. [-] brother under him, picked up his sickle and took the lead to start working.

The others didn't mean to be lazy at all, and they all started to work hard.

It has not been a day or two since I came to Ryukyu City. Everyone has already understood the rules of Ryukyu City. Hard work will be rewarded, and those who steal and play tricks will suffer.

In addition, coming to work here in Ryukyu City not only eats well and lives well, lives comfortably, but also earns money. Where in the world can I find such a good job.

For people like them from poor backgrounds, this place is heaven, and everyone cherishes everything here, so they work very hard.

With the waving of the sickle, the sugarcane is cut down one by one, the sugar-free parts on the head are removed, and then the sugarcane leaves are used to trap them into bundles, and then these sugarcanes are transported to the concrete road.

On the cement road, there are horse-drawn carts and bullock carts that are constantly pulling sugar cane, and these sugar cane are pulled to Ryukyu City to squeeze juice and boil sugar.

"This sugar cane is so sweet~"

After working for more than an hour, Yang Dalang was also so tired that his waist was sore and his back hurt. He motioned his brothers to take a rest first, and he also cut off a section of sugar cane and started eating.

While eating, Yang Dalang also sighed.

He is from Quanzhou, Fujian. There is a tradition of planting sugar cane in Fujian, so he has seen a lot of sugar cane and tasted it.

But the sugarcane I have eaten in the past can’t compare with the sugarcane here in Ryukyu City. The sugarcane grown here in Ryukyu City is not only big, but one sugarcane can hold up to two other people’s sugarcane. The key is that the sugar content is very high. There is also a lot of water, and it tastes very sweet.

“This sugar cane is so delicious~”

Shuiwa was also gnawing on a section of sugar cane. He was from Henan. Before coming here in Ryukyu City, he had never eaten sugar cane, and because his family was poor, he seldom ate any sweets since he was a child.

It’s different when you come to Ryukyu City. The fields outside the sugarcane are everywhere. If you want to eat sugarcane, you can eat whatever you want.

So Shuiwa also fell in love with eating sugar cane, and fell in love with the sweet taste.

In the same way, when she first came here, Shuiwa always felt that there were too many, too many discomforts here.

There are a lot of mosquitoes here in Ryukyu City, and a bite can cause a big bag; there are also savage barbarians here. In just half a year, the barbarians have launched several attacks on Ryukyu City, but they were fired from a distance by cannons; There are too many rules here in Ryukyu City. There are rules for eating, rules for sleeping, and rules for going to the toilet.

In short, when he first came here, he was very unsuitable, and he regretted emigrating here very much.

But soon, he slowly adapted to the life here, and gradually fell in love with it.

The roads, streets, etc. here are very clean and tidy, and the application of running water makes life here very comfortable. In addition, you can eat well, live well, and spend a lot of money here. What is the reason? Don't like it here?
"Eat more if it tastes good, and when the sugar is boiled out, bring a few catties of sugar back home during the Chinese New Year."

Hearing Shuiwa's words, Yang Dalang smiled and said.

"Brother Yang, how much sugar cane can we receive this time, and how much sugar can we boil?"

Shui Wa smiled, then said with a big grin.

"I don't know how much sugarcane I can harvest, but I can still roughly calculate it. Judging by the appearance of this sugarcane, it is definitely no problem to calculate [-] catties for an acre of land conservatively."

"We have planted more than 3 mu of sugar cane outside the entire Ryukyu City. It is no problem to harvest almost 3 million catties of sugar cane this time."

Yang Dalang was illiterate before, he could not read at all, and he could only do simple arithmetic.

But when he came to Ryukyu City, because of his hard work, he was selected as an outstanding individual and became the team leader.

The team leader can be regarded as a low-level management here in Ryukyu City, so after working during the day, he also has to attend night classes here in Ryukyu City at night. In the night classes, he also learned to read and write, and also learned some arithmetic.

These fields in Ryukyu City are planned very neatly. All the fields are as square as possible, one field per mu, and a wooden sign is erected on the ridge at the edge of each field, which has this field number.

Liu Jin also applied his own business management experience to Ryukyu City. The management model here is no different from many industries under Liu Jin's command.

"3 million catties of sugar cane?"

When the team members around Yang Dalang heard this, they all couldn't help opening their mouths, they didn't know how to describe this number in their minds.

"Why so many sugar canes, how can I finish them~"

Someone sighed.

"These sugar canes are used to squeeze juice and boil sugar. You think you can eat them like this~"

Yang Dalang said with a smile.

"Brother Yang, how many sugar canes are you talking about, and how much sugar can it boil?"

Shuiwa thought about the number in her mind, 3 million catties of sugarcane, and then looked at the concrete road next to the field. Teams of team members kept coming to the side of the road carrying bundles of sugarcane.

The sugar cane was piled high on the road, and the ox carts and horse carts were so full that the cattle and horses pulling the carts seemed to be struggling.

The sugarcane harvest is big~
So much sugar cane, all used to boil sugar.

"I don't know that."

Yang Dalang smiled and shook his head.

"Okay, it's almost time to rest, it's time to work~"

Then he looked at the other teams who were working hard, picked up his sickle and continued cutting sugar cane.

The sugarcane harvest was bumper, and the sugarcane fields were extremely busy. Slices and pieces of sugarcane were continuously harvested and began to be continuously transported to Ryukyu City.

Here in Ryukyu City is also extremely busy.

The harvested sugarcane needs to be juiced immediately and then boiled into sucrose, otherwise the sugarcane will rot easily.

Once the sugarcane rots, the boiled sugar will be useless and have some peculiar smell, and the cane sugar will not be sold at a high price. In this era, sugar belongs to the ranks of luxury goods, and ordinary people simply cannot afford it. , Only the truly rich can afford sugar.
