“Is this a pineapple field?”

Xiao Xiuer and Goya looked at the whole green and yellow field, and they looked at it without any limit.

This is the first time two people have seen such a crop, and it is such a large area of ​​land. More than a dozen farmers are picking pineapples in the pineapple field and putting them in a basket.

Although pineapple has been passed on earlier, it has not been planted on a large scale, and ordinary people rarely see this kind of fruit from South America.

Even Yu Cheng has followed Chu Yun for so many years and has never seen such a thing. Such a large pineapple field is also spectacular to him.

"Because ordinary people rarely touch this kind of thing, in order to avoid unsalable sales, our grain company only has 300 acres of pineapple planting." Ouyang Jie pointed at a large area of ​​pineapple land with pride.

"300 acres are a lot." Yu Cheng said.

"I'm going to see what this fruit called pineapple looks like!"

Goya was excited to reach out to pull out the ripe pineapple from the ground.

"Goya, this is someone else's farmland. How could you pick it without permission from others?" Xiao Xiu'er quickly grabbed Goya.

"It's not a big deal, it's just that the pineapple has thorns. If Miss Goya recklessly reached out to grab it just now, she might be scratched by the pineapple thorns. Brother Li, come over with two pairs of thicker gloves." Ouyang Jie waved to the farmer picking pineapples in the field.

"I understand!" A farmer saw the shareholder's young master bringing people to visit the pineapple field and quickly came over with coarse cloth gloves. "Two girls, don't think that the gloves are rough, but the pineapple has thorns, and you will easily be stabbed if you are not careful."

Upon hearing this, Goya quickly put on coarse cloth gloves.

"When harvesting, you can cut off the stem with a knife, and then carefully pick the fruit, be careful not to be cut by dense leaves to the skin. This sword-shaped leaf has sharp teeth." The farmer reminded.

Goya studied in the Army Martial Arts Hall for several years and even operated artillery. It was natural to harvest pineapples. She picked several pineapples in a row in a few seconds.

Xiao Xiu'er also couldn't suppress her curiosity and tried to pick a pineapple by herself.

The appearance of this fruit made her feel very strange. It was not good-looking, and it made people wonder how to put this fruit into the mouth?

"If you want to taste this fruit from the West, you need to cut it with a knife."

The farmer enthusiastically took out a knife from a basin of salt water around him, and quickly exposed the yellowish flesh inside.

"Hiss...a little sour..." Goya took a piece and his eyebrows frowned slightly.

"There is salt water in the basin, which can appropriately reduce the sourness. Many captains will buy this fruit when passing by Bengang to supplement the necessary nutrition for sailors. If their sailors do not eat fresh fruits and vegetables frequently on the sea, they will easily get sick." Ouyang Jie said.

Then Ouyang Jie took Xiao Xiuer, Goya, Yu Cheng and others to the sugarcane field and rice fields. The sugarcane field is used as raw materials for sugar making, covering an area of ​​more than 1,000 acres, and the rice fields are even more exaggerated. Ouyang Jie's grain company actually owns 10,000 acres of rice fields, and the mountains and fields are full of green rice.

"If these tens of thousands of acres of rice can be harvested, there will be millions of kilograms of grain. I am really a rich young man." Goya said to Xiao Xiuer.

But her voice was not small, and there was no intention to hide it. Ouyang Jie smiled bitterly when he heard it: "Miss Goya misunderstood. This grain company is not unique to my father, but a grain company opened by dozens of pioneers from the Biangang. My father was not in front of dozens of people. The group of people in the front were all the first batch of land reclamators who were recruited by pirates to Yizhou. Because of his flexible mind, he was able to convince other farmers to gather the farmland together and continue to open up the land, which was the current scale."

"Young Master Ouyang should not say that. Being able to operate a large farm of tens of thousands of acres is a talent in itself, and it is no less contribution to the country than to obtain fame and honor. If Young Master Ouyang can continue to operate and grow the company's farm, perhaps it is a good thing for the country and the people." Xiao Xiuer said.

Since Confucianism occupied the mainstream, it advocated self-cultivation and governance of the country, governing the country and pacifying the world. It became the pursuit of all scholars when they went out to join the generals. If there was no fame, even the landlords felt inferior, and scholars were also inferior. Scholars and farmers, industry and commerce, and scholars were still on the ground.

However, Xiao Xiuer, who lived in the Taya tribe since she was a child and was influenced by Chu Yun, did not agree with this concept. For example, the grain company established by farmers in Bengang now did not talk to others about the Four Books and Five Classics and any major principles, but was engaged in production and trade. Just such a grain company produced and exported enough to support tens of thousands of people.

Food is the most important thing for the people. Without these foods that really make people live, who is in the mood to talk about benevolence, righteousness and morality?

From this point of view alone, there is not much difference between producing grain that allows ordinary people to survive and Xiao Xiuer studying medicine to save people.

"Thank you for your understanding. After all, I still can't learn to learn new things. Instead, I feel that the land is more friendly... Yes, I don't know if Miss Xiao plans to come back to Yizhou this time to live or visit relatives?" Ouyang Jie asked expectantly.

"I am accompanying Goya back to visit relatives. His father is the patriarch of the Taya tribe. I used to be a witch of the Taya tribe. I am very concerned about whether they have integrated into the new civilization." Xiao Xiu'er said.

"Tayah people, many of them have begun to go out of the mountains and forests. Some children have entered private schools in towns and some adults have worked in towns or plantations. They can sell fur at first, but later the fur of wild animals has become less and less. The gold and silver earned from working in towns or plantations can be exchanged for their daily necessities, and they can also exchange for daily necessities in towns and plants. The magistrate here also issues a subsidy to the tribes every year to obtain their land." Ouyang Jiejiu was in Bengang and knew the situation of some nearby tribes and answered everything.

"It seems that the life of the tribe members should be better than before." After seeing the prosperity of the capital, Goya knew that the Gaoshan tribe where he used to be was a backward village. Being able to obtain subsidies in conflict with advanced civilizations was obviously an additional care from the government.

Especially after all the land was nationalized, the conflict between immigrants and indigenous peoples arising from the land was alleviated. The patriarch of the Taya tribe was willing to hand over the land because his daughter went to the capital and the government provided subsidies to meet the tribe's survival. These liberated productivity can also work in port towns and obtain additional income. The productivity of a piece of land in the hands of backward civilizations and advanced civilizations is completely different.
