Four hundred and fortieth chapters harvest is imminent

After getting closer, Song Wumian discovered that every sugar cane was taller than him, and the highest of them was nearly half a foot. There was no such figure when planted in Quanzhou before.

Song Wumian touched it carefully with his hands, which was thicker than before. The yield of this acre of land was estimated to be 20% higher.

"Sir Guan, you're so skillful." Chen He had eaten sugarcane before, so he knew it. He thought Guan Qingquan had found some amazing technology.

"General Chen praised it. They were all the seeds and methods provided by the Song family. With this gain, the Song family made great contributions!" Guan Qingquan dared not take credit for it. He just copied it according to his words.

"It seems that this sugarcane is indeed suitable for planting here. Can you take one to try it?" Song Wumian touched the thickest one in front of him. It is not enough to be big. It has to see if it is sweet enough. If the sweetness is not enough, it is still very costly to make sugar.

"Others can't do it, so General Chen can of course, but now this tree has to be kept as a seed, so let's choose the same one." Guan Qingquan was embarrassed and asked for a sugarcane with Song Wumian's identity, so he naturally couldn't refuse.

But Sun Yu had previously told that all the sugarcane grows well and all the seeds will be kept. No one will be the exception. It will be used to expand the planting scale next year. This is what Guan Qingquan repeatedly emphasized on the island. If this tree is cut down, wouldn’t it mean that the order of the Duke can be ignored?

"Ah, look at me, haha, then let's just do this one, taste the sweetness." Song Wumian slapped his forehead. He was bred from generation to generation. In order to have a better harvest in the future, it should be like this. He immediately pointed to another tree that was extremely ordinary in height and thickness.

"General Song can do it!" Guan Qingquan nodded. He had actually been envious for a long time. In order to protect this batch of sugarcane, he issued a death order. Who dared to steal it and throw it directly into the mine. The person who reported it would reward a hundred stones of grain.

A notice was also posted that the sugarcane from the sugarcane field will be basically reserved as seeds and will be distributed free of charge to villagers who need to be planted next year. After it matures, the government will recycle it uniformly.

Recently, nearby villagers have spontaneously come here, treating the sugarcane as a treasure. Just now, some villagers come to see it and see Lord Guan and the two generals, so they leave.

Guan Qingquan has never tried it in order to set an example.

Song Wumian drew out a long knife and cut it into the root of the sugarcane. He cut the sword with iron like mud. It was naturally no problem to cut the sugarcane root. Then he divided it into three, and the three of them were divided into one piece.

"Damn, General Song, did you sell me inferior products before?" Chen He bit off a piece with his mouth and chewed it a little, and found that he ate much sweeter than before. He immediately looked at Song Wumian with a puzzled look on his face. Could it be that the Chen family had been spending a slack food at high prices?

"Take it down. I have never eaten such sweet food before. I guess the land here is fertile and the climate is suitable for planting. The sugarcane grows very well here." Song Wumian had long been happy, but his face seemed unmoved. With this sweetness, he could be sure that the wealth of the Song family was about to come.

He could already foresee that when the sugar cane is launched in large quantities next year, it will inevitably defeat the malt sugar on the market.

Chen He was so envious, but he had no choice. Who said that the Chen family did not have such a foundation? The sugarcane seeds were the wealth accumulated by the Song family for generations.

Baodao County is now a little more abundant and can only eat enough this year. Guan Qingquan, the county magistrate, still has no salary. When Baodao County has normal material circulation and taxes, he can only give himself and other officials

Pay salaries.

Guan Qingquan, who is so poor that it is naturally impossible for high-end products like Feitian, but it is just some rice wine brewed by home. Although the color is a bit different, the entrance is a bit sweet and it is not difficult to swallow.

Song Wumian and Chen He have been going to sea for so long and have already finished the little wine they brought. Naturally, there is nothing to pay attention to now. The three most powerful figures on the Da Ryukyu Island sit on small stools made of tree stumps, drinking wine mixed with water. If Sun Yu saw it, I wonder if it would be a little sad.

As for food, the largest portion was sea fish, but the two generals who had been wandering on the sea for so long obviously didn't want to continue eating, so Guan Qingquan asked my concubine to fry a few more eggs.

Now Guan Qingquan has circled a small yard with a net behind it, and has raised more than 20 chickens in it, and the eggs are enough to eat.

"Sir Guan, this egg is fragrant and has good skills." Chen He ate very happily. He stir-fried wild vegetables together, and the taste was excellent.

"General Chen, it's better to bring some chickens and ducks and lay some eggs when we go to sea in the future. If we can't keep it alive, then kill and eat meat. It's better than eating sea fish and bean sprouts all day long." In this era, the preservation methods are limited and the sea is wet, so food storage is a big problem.

In the past, I had never thought about going to sea. I brought some poultry to raise it. Chen He's words made Song Wumian feel like he opened a window.

"No, if you go out for a long time in the future, you might as well set a small piece of space on the boat and raise some chickens. As for ducks, it's too much water." Song Wumian nodded. Even if you don't eat them, you can still have some fun in vain.

I float on the sea every day, and everything I see is vast. I raise some poultry, and I feel a little excited when I think about it.

"Two generals, come, drink this cup first!" Guan Qingquan picked up the wine in the glass. Baodao County has the prosperity and peace of today, and the navy has made an indispensable contribution. As a county's parents, he should fulfill his friendship with the landlords.

Song Wumian and Chen He also had a good impression of Guan Qingquan. If he hadn't reminded him last time, he might not have been able to catch up with the war in Fuzhou. This is how the title of general came about.

Although the navy basically took away the ship, the remaining ships could still form a fleet, traveling between Quanzhou and Daliuqiu Island, providing a passage for material personnel to catch sea fish along the way.

"Two generals, I'll have a break here today. I should return to Quanzhou immediately tomorrow morning." Guan Qingquan immediately told Sun Yu about leading his troops to attack Nanyue. Although he didn't know. Sun Yu's expectations for these two people were far beyond expectations, but he also knew that only by personally experiencing the war can we obtain credit.

"Thank you, Lord Guan, I will return immediately after the supply is completed!" Song Wumian was shocked. He knew very well about this battle. Sun Yu's combat strategy had also been mentioned to him.

It is not easy to go to Japan. You have to handle things almost exactly before you can get out.

Song Wumian asked about the latest battle situation again. After learning that Luoyuan County had been taken down, he couldn't sit still. He accused him of guilt and asked Chen He to drink with Guan Qingquan alone.

On the outskirts of Baodao County, near the Navy Base, there is a separate small building. The courtyard woven with fences looks very exquisite.

In a corner of the courtyard, there were more than a dozen chicks pecking at the ground. A fat cat squatted on the railing, staring at the chicks. I wonder if I wanted to taste the chicks.

"Xing'er, it's time to prepare firewood." Liang Yingzhu, who was fiddling with flowers and plants, looked up at the time. The sun was already west and it was time to prepare for dinner.

"Maid is going now!" Xing'er was busy cleaning the yard. Hearing this, he put down the broom and walked towards the corner of the wall, with firewood piled up there.

Xing'er was hired by Liang Yingzhu after she came to the island, and she was given an extra silver coin. At that time, there were no less than a hundred people who came to apply for the recruitment. After all, it was much more comfortable and decent than purging land and farming, and perhaps not having enough food to serve a woman.

Liang Yingzhu didn't quite understand the purchasing power of a silver coin. When she left Quanzhou, she brought a lot. Her father insisted that it was a dowry prepared for her, but she never counted it, but she couldn't use it anyway.

"Yingzhu, I'm back!" Song Wumian waved to the familiar figure outside the yard.

When Liang Yingzhu saw that it was Song Wumian, she quickly ran forward with her skirt, opened the gate of the courtyard, and threw herself into his arms.

"Brother Song, why did you have been to Dongyang for so long?" Liang Yingzhu asked with her head raised.

"I was delayed by some things, but it was finally smooth. However, when the supplies were in place, I had to set off immediately overnight. The war has begun in Fuzhou." Song Wumian touched Liang Yingzhu's beautiful hair. The two of them were together for a long time. They had just met and were about to separate again.

"So anxious?" Liang Yingzhu raised her head and looked at Song Wumian, quite dissatisfied. She had been waiting for so long before she came back, and she was about to leave again in a blink of an eye.

"Wars are not waiting for anyone. We are valued by the Duke of the Kingdom and entrusted with important tasks. How can we be ashamed? Those who die as confidants, and you and I can have today all depend on the Duke of the Kingdom..." Song Wumian was anxious. The Duke of the Kingdom must have been waiting for the navy to return. He also wanted to make achievements. There were so many generals under the Duke of the Kingdom, but without a single fuel-efficient lamp, it was not easy for Song Wumian to have the status of today.

"Stop, stop, stop! If you continue, I, Liang Yingzhu, have become a ungrateful little woman. It's a huge thing for the Duke of China to do. We have to do our best." Liang Yingzhu covered Song Wumian's mouth and thought of herself as someone. If it weren't for the Duke of China, she would still be on the small island in Wu Chao.

"Then, that's why I made a mistake and misunderstood Yingzhu." Song Wumian breathed a sigh of relief and quickly took the mistakes on him. As long as he could get him back to Quanzhou as soon as possible.

"It's not all. I live here alone with my maid, and there is not even a firewood chopper. Look at that corner, it's a pity to throw it away." Liang Yingzhu pointed at the piles of thick tree trunks in the corner. With her and Xing'er's physique, she had no choice but to use them.

"This is simple, I'll do it!" As the head of the family, how could Song Wumian ask others to do this?

"Xing'er, take the axe and boil more hot water and take a bath for Brother Song later!" Liang Yingzhu looked at Xing'er who was struggling to chop firewood and simply asked her to stop first.

"That's it?" Song Wumian looked at the axe handed over by Xing'er, just like a child playing house. Not to mention Lao Cheng's big axe, it is more than half smaller than the ordinary axe chopping wood. How can this be used to split wood as thick as legs?

"Yes, we can't use that big one." Baodao County is now sold with iron tools, and the quality is not as good as the production of workshops in Quanzhou, but it is also quite good. But just like her and Xing'er, they bought a big axe and could only be used as a decoration. It's hard to lift it up, so don't talk about chopping firewood.

"Or why don't you buy chopped wood next time." Song Wumian looked at the pile of wood in front of him, and probably couldn't finish it in the middle of the night with the axe in his hand.
