"Pick them up and don't miss them. This year's first batch of rice belongs to us. Immediately soak the soil and prepare to plant the second batch."
In the same province, the adults and children had finished harvesting the indica rice and started to pick up the ears of rice.
Tomorrow, they would plow the soil, soak the soil, and soak it with manure.
All the surrendered households added up to more than 300,000 people.
More surrendered households arrived one after another. Each time, there were thousands and tens of thousands.
The mountainous area that Li Yi contracted was settled down and turned into terraced fields.
They farmed together and did manual labor. Their days were stable and they even paid back the money that they owed Li Yi.
Those who were still in high school were working hard. They wanted to own their own land and houses.
Li Yi did not rent the first batch of rice to the surrendered households, giving them hope.
Following that, they planted another batch of indica rice. They plowed the previous rice stubble and applied manure directly.
After 50 days of harvesting, they changed to planting radishes. They ate radishes in winter or exchanged radishes for other vegetables.
They also raised chickens, ducks, and pigs.
Some surrendered households came early. When the pigs grew up, they could be killed in winter.
Those who came late were raised again. They fermented rice stubble and fed to the pigs. If the conditions were good enough, they would be raised until they grew up. If they could not afford to feed them in winter, they would sell half-grown pigs.
Of course, they would sell them to the Li Family Zhuangzi. The price was higher.
The second batch of indica rice and the radishes after that had to be paid.
The person who shouted was the newly elected leader. Those who had high status in the past were sent to study.
The main purpose was to enjoy life. Those people were gathered in one place and lived well. They were also allowed to find additional women.
Someone taught them two lessons a day. Each lesson lasted for more than an hour, which was 90 minutes.
Four days of classes and one day of rest. After a lesson, it seemed that the duration was not short, but there was not much content.
As for those who could not enjoy special treatment, there were also lessons for them. There was a lot of content.
Based on the results of the exam, they would be given the position of 'leader' for half a year. If they did not do well in the exam, they would be replaced in the second half of the year.
Li Yi's plan was very effective.
The surrendered households competed with each other. In their eyes, they did not feel that anyone should be above them. Everyone had the same opportunity.
Li Yi had already planned to send the people from the study class back to work after the New Year.
As for status, hehe!
The people from the Western Agricultural Temple were recording the production and recording the operation.
It turned out that the rice stubble was directly dug out and combed with manure. At the same time, other mineral fertilizers were prepared.
According to this operation, after tomorrow, the farmers would be familiar with it, and they would be able to plant three batches of indica rice and one batch of vegetables in the greenhouse.
He wouldn't be able to learn it in a normal place. There wasn't enough fertilizer to chase after it.
Of course, planting two batches of indica rice and one batch of other things could guarantee success. The key was labor and fertilization.
Even if there was a new crop of crops every two years, the people were still satisfied.
The families who surrendered were very enthusiastic. The adults and children learned to speak the Tang dynasty language and recognize the characters of the Tang dynasty.
The teacher would definitely mention Li Dongzhu several times in every class. What did Li Dongzhu say? What did Li Dongzhu research? Li Dongzhu …
Up until now, the surrendered families only felt that Li Dongzhu was omnipotent. Anything that God could not do, Li Dongzhu could do.
In addition to mentioning Li Dongzhu, they also mentioned His Majesty.
What did His Majesty instruct Li Dongzhu to do? How much money did His Majesty make? His Majesty took out money to give to the people. His Majesty wanted to see everyone. His Majesty …
Every day, in class, the surrendered families' minds were filled with His Majesty and Li Dongzhu.
In addition, the children went to school and had snacks to eat. The surrendered families had long forgotten about the tribal leaders. It would be best if those people never came back.
…
"Brother Yi, at this rate, more than 400,000 surrendered families will settle down in this mountainous area this year."
Li Chengqi came again. He had been too busy recently.
This morning, dried conch, dried razor clam, and dried clams were shipped from Dengzhou.
When he arranged for people to select and classify, he ran to the Li Family Zhuangzi and asked Li Yi to write about it in the newspaper.
At the same time, he gave Li Yi all kinds of dried seafood to eat. There were only about a hundred catties of fresh seafood, and they were frozen.
The frozen seafood delivered from the local area was 3,000 catties. Li Chengqi left 1,000 catties for everyone to share and sold 2,000 catties.
There was no need to write about the seafood in the newspaper. Not everyone was qualified to buy it.
Those who were qualified to buy it would spend a lot of money and owe a favor.
If they felt that it was expensive and not worth owing a favor, they would try to get the frozen seafood themselves.
Now, the two of them were eating the spicy conch personally made by Li Yi and drinking rice wine.
After this meal, Li Yi returned with a few catties of seafood. He would continue to freeze the seafood for the night and eat it tomorrow.
The rest were all distributed. The elderly and children ate a mouthful, and five catties were sent to Wang Xing.
Seafood with shells took up a lot of weight. 100 catties was not much.
"Didn't you make canned food soaked in oil? That's better than seafood, and the price is not low either. "Li Yi ate a conch and picked up the bowl of wine.
"Yes, but I didn't send it to you. You can soak it dry and eat it. We will sell the canned food. It's amazing to use a canned food to stew."
Li Chengqi drank a big mouthful of iced rice wine and took a bite of garlic.
Li Yi drew a picture in his mind. What would a canned seafood stew taste like? Stewed vegetables? Stewed meat?
Shouldn't that be eaten directly? If it's stewed, why not stewed dried seafood?
As if he knew what Li Yi was thinking, Li Chengqi grabbed a conch and said, "There's oil in it. The main thing is to eat that oil. It's fresh and fragrant."
"Why didn't I notice it? This year, we chose a group of people to go to the places where the tribes have not surrendered. More than 90,000 people survived the winter.
Every winter, people would freeze to death. None of them froze to death directly. Even the sick elderly and children were treated.
Only 131 elderly and 24 children died. The base number of 90,000 people was not something they dared to imagine in the past.
How many of those who did not surrender last year died? Not to mention 90,000 people, the number of deaths from 10,000 people is more than this. "
Li Yi was clear about the current situation of the people living on the grassland. Out of 10,000 people, more than 2,000 were born in a year.
If there was no war, the elderly, adults, and children would die in accidents. In total, 400 to 500 people would die.
Most of them died in winter. If there was a heavy snowfall and extreme cold, some elderly people would get some dried meat and then be left in the snow.
In all tribes, there was no paralyzed person who could survive the winter, unless they were the chief's family.
Sometimes, even if the young people could not make up their minds to leave their parents in the snow, the old people would sneak out by themselves.
Of course, it was not necessarily sneaky. Maybe the young people would wake up at night and just pretend that they did not know.
The families who surrendered had been publicized. Those who did not want to surrender had nothing to say after seeing the death rate of the families. They just hurried over.
Many people had died last year. Would so many people continue to die this winter?
In the Tang dynasty, there were actually heatable kang beds and all kinds of furniture to provide food and medicine.
Go. Borrow things first and return them slowly. Pay the rent. When the time came, the land and the house would belong to you.
You would no longer have to leave your family members in the snow, let alone hold a child who would die in less than a month.
Go to the Tang dynasty and find Li Dongzhu. Li Dongzhu had a lot of money, endless food and meat, and so many life-saving medicines.
Therefore, the number of families who surrendered increased. Li Chengqi felt pressured, but Li Yi was not afraid. He could make arrangements and was not afraid of more people.
