Chapter 1503 Development in Progress

Regarding how to allocate land to immigrants, the government has formed regulations.

The original [-] mu of land per person is really not enough.It can't be cultivated at all, resulting in a large amount of land being abandoned.

Later, it was changed to 150 mu of cultivated land and 150 mu of mountain land, but it still didn't work.With the manpower of farmers, it is still not enough to take care of them.

In the end, it was changed to [-] mu of farmland, [-] mu of mountains and lakes.

In addition to the [-] mu of cultivated land, the [-] mu of mountain and lake farmers can take care of it themselves. If they don’t want to, renting it out to others is also an income.

Even a hundred acres of cultivated land seems to be too much to handle in terms of manpower, but the government now has a way to deal with it.

Seeing the villagers crying, laughing and helpless, Zhao Zhihe didn't say much.

He knew that soon these villagers would understand that there was still a way.

Early the next morning, another group of people came to Baijiang Village.

In addition to people, they also brought more than 200 horses, and there were iron plows, nail rakes and other agricultural tools on the carriage.

What is even more eye-catching is that the leader of this team is actually a young and beautiful girl.

But seeing the girl's appearance, Chen Laowu was very excited.

"You... aren't you the third girl?"

The girl was arranging work, and when she heard a familiar voice, she turned around and saw that it was Chen Laowu, and she was pleasantly surprised.

"Are you Uncle Chen?"

When old friends meet again, don't have some joy.

Seeing the girl whose appearance changed drastically, Chen Laowu couldn't help but sigh.

"When I heard that you and your father were kidnapped by bandits, I wondered if I would never survive again. I didn't realize it, you are already this old."

The girl's name was Xu Yufeng, and she used to be from the village next door to Chen Laowu.

His father and Chen Laowu have a deep friendship, and they are good friends of the whole family.

Speaking of the past, Xu Yufeng was also filled with emotion.

"In the eighth year of Chongzhen, the rogues destroyed our village. My father and I were arrested by them, but the rogues were defeated on the way, and my father and I ran out. If we couldn't go back home, we both I fled all the way, and finally went to Shandong. I didn’t know until I got there, what a living person looks like. I was young and went to school. Now I am in charge of agricultural development here in Longcheng. I didn’t expect to see him again you."

Hearing what happened to Xu Yufeng's father and daughter, Chen Laowu felt sad.

"How is your father?"

Xu Yufeng laughed.

"It's very good. Now in Shandong, the food is good, the house is good, and I have found a stepmother. Life is so beautiful."

Chen Laowu looked at his eldest son on the side, and then at Xu Yufeng, who was as beautiful as a flower and jade, and couldn't help but raised his mouth.

"Back then I told your father..."

Xu Yufeng understood what he meant and interrupted hastily.

"Uncle Wu doesn't know, does he? I'm already engaged."

Chen Laowu was there in embarrassment, somewhat regretful.

"What do men do?"

Xu Yufeng was very proud.

"He's a soldier and a regimental commander, and he's in Harbin now."

Chen Laowu didn't know where Harbin was, but he knew what the leader meant.

Compared with the penniless kid in his family, it is like a sky and a world.

Looking at his silly eldest son, he was so angry that he just kicked him.

"You coward, what are you still doing in a daze? Go and help with the work."

Xu Yufeng pursed her lips and smiled, understanding his feelings very well.But things are different, and there is no going back.

Zhao Zhihe led Xu Yufeng to the villagers.

"This is an expert sent by the Bureau of Agriculture. From now on, expert Xu will give you guidance on how to plant this land."

Many villagers couldn't help laughing when they heard that a cute little girl was asked to teach everyone how to farm.

Xu Yufeng had seen this situation countless times, and didn't care at all.

"In less than a month, it's going to snow here. Time is running out, we guys have to get busy first. The women and children in the village gather together to sort out all the weeds in the field and dry them in the sun. "

The villagers are allocated wild land, which must be ripened before farming, and weeding is also a necessary step.

It can be heard that the grass that has been removed has to be dried in the sun, and the villagers are quite puzzled.

"It's all weeds, what are you doing with them?"

Xu Yufeng pointed to the two hundred horses beside him.

"Whether the land can be planted next year depends entirely on these animals. If there is not enough forage, these animals will lose weight in winter. How will they plant the land next year?"

When they heard that the two hundred horses were actually used for farming, the villagers were all stunned.

Each person has [-] mu of land, and some households have a large population of [-] to [-] mu of land.Even if the whole family goes into battle together, it is impossible to finish planting.

But if there are animals to help, it will be different.

Hearing that the wild grass is used as fodder for these horses, the villagers no longer feel hard, but feel hot all over.

But everyone also has doubts.

"Village Chief, there are only two horses in total, which is not enough."

Zhao Zhihe clicked on the pot of the cigarette pipe, and immediately choked back.

"What's the point? If you share it with you, you won't be able to support them. The two hundred horses belong to the public property of our village, and they will be used together when we plow the land next year. Only in this way can we ensure that every household can reclaim and cultivate the land in time."

When everyone heard it, they also reacted.

The two hundred horses really had to be divided, and each household didn't even have one horse, so it was impossible to fully reclaim the land.

But if the horses are gathered together for collective farming, then the efficiency is not the same thing.

After convincing the villagers, Xu Yufeng called a companion.

"This is Wang Siqing's colleague from the Forestry Bureau. The big guy will cut down the trees in the field soon. As for what to do, I will follow his arrangement."

The villagers were even more puzzled when they heard that tree felling was also managed by others.

"Isn't it just cutting down trees, we all know it."

Wang Siqing hurriedly explained: "Some of the trees here are precious species. According to national laws, they cannot be felled at will. They must be identified by our Forestry Bureau."

Hearing that this was the case, some villagers were anxious.

"Then if the trees in my field are some precious species, it won't delay our farming."

Wang Siqing is gentle and patient.

"If it is really a rare species, we will organize people to transplant the trees to other places, and it will not delay everyone's farming."

He added another sentence.

"Although it has been stipulated that this area will be used as arable land, in order to prevent wind and sand, a certain windbreak belt must be reserved. How to do it, the big guy must follow our arrangement."

While the villagers feel at ease, they also feel that there seem to be many rules for farming here.

As for whether these rules are good or bad, they don't understand for the time being.

However, the allocated land is real. As an honest farmer, he just needs to abide by the rules.

Their ideas also made the work of Xu Yufeng, Wang Siqing and others a lot easier.

Under their command and arrangement, the villagers of Baijiang Village started preliminary development of the land before winter came.

The ancient desolate but extremely fertile black land has finally ushered in the world's best farming nation, and it will surely radiate supreme value.
