The east coast of May has entered the season of autumn harvest.<><> Novel

In the shrub farm, which has invested a huge amount of more than 60,000 yuan and has been arduously developed for 18 months, the farm operators will also face their own "big test". Last year, after clearing the newly opened land, the shrub farm planted a crop of wintering wheat on it, but with many grass seeds and seedlings hidden in the farmland, the harvest is bleak. According to statistics, the shrub farm only harvested about 700 tons of wheat with an average yield of more than 22 kilograms per mu.

Such a harvest undoubtedly put the shrub farm development company in certain operating difficulties. Helplessly, dozens of shareholders of the farm held a collective meeting and finally passed the resolution to issue additional shares to the East Coast Company to obtain new investment to maintain operations. The newly raised 20,000 yuan of funds allowed the farm to hire more people and rent more machines. They cleaned up the grass seeds and seedlings that emerged from the fields in spring, and at the same time spent a lot of money to buy a large amount of cow manure field from the Duck Lake area, ambitiously preparing to do something more this year.

In fact, the scene they did this year is indeed quite large. Not only did the sowing area expand to more than 40,000 acres, they also specially purchased the newly cultivated "Pioneer 1649" soybean seeds from the Northern Botanical Garden. They sowed them in February and were now waiting for harvest. The yield should not be too bad. The current domestic soybean market is at its hottest time. At the second autumn commodity trading expo held in Qingdao Port, orders for soybean cakes from sugarcane and tobacco plantations from Brazil and the Caribbean were flying like snowflakes; in addition, soybean oil orders from England, Italy, Spain and other regions also grew rapidly, which undoubtedly greatly stimulated the development of the domestic soybean industry in the East Coast. The soybean soybean area began to grow rapidly.

The commercialization of East Coast agriculture has begun with a magical species like soybean!

After the wheat harvest last year, the shrub farm sowed all the arable land (including the half-cooked land in the second year and the newly reclaimed more than 10,000 acres of raw land that were newly reclaimed this year). While using soybeans to fix nitrogen and fertilizer fields, it also hopes that there will be a good harvest this autumn harvest and alleviate the company's tense financial situation. All shareholders of the company do not want to issue additional shares to giant companies such as East Coast Company due to insufficient funds, so that they can take away the company's controlling rights. This will be a big disaster for everyone.

Just as the bush farm was working hard for their careers, a few months ago, a team wearing military uniforms and a population of about 100 people also looked for a wasteland with a small stream near their farm (not within the bounds of the Great Wilderness Farm), and then began to settle down.

This team came from the Sixth Company of the Army Cavalry, which was just ordered to be abolished by the Executive Committee. After all, the war has ended, and the financially distressed central government seems to have no need to retain the large army organization. They are wearing dark blue uniforms and large black-brimmed caps, and the brass five-pointed stars on the red collar are still shining brightly.

Most of the people in the shrub farm are also veterans. They still remember that when this laid-off unit arrived at their future "home", the company commander who had been appointed as the village chief gave an order: "Build a gun (imitation of Tuobian Farm, they were still allowed to keep a certain number of guns)" and "unload the backpack". After a moment of silence, everyone began to build shacks, build reservoirs, and level the land.

Some soldiers carrying families were given priority to living in simple houses built with wooden boards. You should know that on the east prairie where trees are scarce (and people on the east shore also need to plant trees and afforestation), wooden boards are an extremely valuable resource. Therefore, being able to live in wooden board houses at the beginning of the business is definitely a preferential treatment.

The work of land reclamation is extremely difficult, especially in the absence of suitable transportation facilities - which often means shortage of supplies - is even more unbearable. The complicated work is often heavy and unbearable for a bachelor, and the pressure can be imagined when a veteran or officer with family members faces these situations.

The remote prairie, simple houses, poor and monotonous food, and the minimum convenience in life is not even met, but people must endure it silently. The land reclamation is so hard and tormenting. This is a very serious matter and not romantic at all, but it is often the real life. But if we look at it from another perspective, when a group of people use their lifelong hardship and sweat to build a beautiful, tidy, prosperous and livable town into a beautiful, tidy, prosperous and livable town, isn’t this the most romantic thing in the world?

The families of veterans who were moved here as a whole - especially their wives and mothers - saw themselves away from the familiar living environment and moved to the distant and desolate inland areas. Although they received the land they had always dreamed of as compensation, they still cried more than once when facing the hardships of life. Of course, tears meant not complaining or regret, but obedience to fate.

It is not surprising that there are despair, loss of confidence, discouragement and other emotions about the future appear in these newly pioneered wastelands, but among these tough Ming pioneers and their Slavic wives, you rarely see this situation. The Ming people who have experienced military careers are calm and firm, and their Slavic wives have a very stoic personality. They seem to be very accustomed to undertaking huge pressure - perhaps related to their childhood environment - they are never depressed, good at fighting the most difficult and harshest environments, and can also encourage each other with the people around them.

In remote borders like shrub farms and Great Wilderness Farms, men maintain their hospitality and generosity, while women show their kindness and enthusiasm. Despite the lack of supplies, pioneers are never stingy to help each other. Whoever cooks delicious food will inevitably invite neighbors to taste it, and some housewives will even help single neighbors wash some clothes. It is their efforts and positive behavior that young veterans will not be discouraged all day long, and thus develop bad habits such as alcoholism and gambling.

In short, neither the harsh nature nor the unfavorable conditions from other places can cause these pioneers who have traveled thousands of miles to hang their proud heads. They may often be discouraged, but in the next moment, they will always muster up the courage and devote themselves to more difficult labor.

In addition to the hard work and the harsh environment, attacks from barbarians from inland areas often bother everyone very much. With the steady development of the East Coast people on the coast of the Wujiang River (Uruguay River), a large number of Chaluans who originally lived there were unwilling to be included in the ruling order of the East Coast people, so they began to migrate to the inland areas. However, the unstable life exacerbated their poverty, so robbing the relatively wealthy East Coast people became their helpless choice.

Before this, the Great Wilderness Farm and the Shrub Farm had been subjected to several organized attacks by the Chalua people. These barbarians took iron refrigeration weapons (I don’t know where they got them, maybe they were left to them by the Spanish in the past). They suddenly attacked the shacks where the pioneers lived on the dark night, causing some casualties, and also caused some property damage to the farm operators (such as the stolen livestock, the damage to the machines, etc.).

While picking up muskets, the pioneers resolutely fought back against the robbery of the Chalua people and reported to their superiors. After learning about the situation, the Xiling District Office not only requested the army to send more cavalry to increase patrol efforts, but also gave these pioneers a certain degree of financial subsidy to encourage them to persevere. This time, the officers and soldiers who were disarmament and their families were collectively placed near these two farms, and they also used their organizational discipline and combat effectiveness to compete with the purpose of harassment of the Chalua people.

The East Coast people and these Chaluans were obviously immortal. For no other reason, the East Coast people were unwilling to embellish their own act of plundering other people's land. They occupied the Chaluans' land and compressed their living space. At the same time, they either plundered them to build railways or exiled them to overseas colonies to open up the wilderness. Therefore, the conflict between the two sides is extremely sharp and irreconcilable. Only one side will fall completely and the dispute will be eliminated.

Moreover, with the upcoming release of the East Coast version of the Homeland Law, and the famous labor agents Valentino and Mendes "trafficked" from the Old Continent, the East Coast people will advance to the inland areas faster and faster, and the conflict with the indigenous people will be destined to become more and more intense. In the case of a significant gap in strength and weakness, perhaps Chalua, a nation with a population of not many, will completely disappear into the long river of history in many years.

This does not make the East Coast people feel any guilt. Because according to the increasingly popular East Coastist ideas in China, these Indian inferior nations are not qualified to enjoy such vast and fertile land. The East Coast people have the most advanced system and culture in the world. They are the best nations. They fought blood and fire with the Spaniards in order to obtain this land, so they naturally have the right to seize the land under the sun from these inferior nations.
