Chapter 75 Autumn Harvest

The seventh year of the Tianqi revelation was a troublesome, and no one could have thought that the Emperor of Ming Dynasty would not do it if he said it would not work.

The death of Emperor Tianqi was supposed to be in vain and depressed for several days. However, the country was famine for years, and the people in many areas had no meals. Food was the most important thing for the people. After more people learned about this news, they were just shocked, and then they were busy with their own livelihoods.

After hearing Emperor Chongzhen's announcement that the world would ascend the throne, Chu Yun felt pitiful for Chongzhen: Although he felt sorry for this, the wheel of history rolled forward, and the rotten Ming Dynasty would eventually be annihilated.

At this time, Chu Yun brought a group of troops to Xuejia Village. Xuejia Village is in Jinzhou and is the first agricultural base established by the Agricultural Bureau. Tar, Townsend, Bradley, Cork, Bakewell and others who represented the 18th century agricultural technology summoned by Chu Yun have been in Xuejia Village for several months, busy experiments on cultivating crops, improving farming systems, and improving livestock breeds.

Since Xuejia Village was expropriated as a test base, the villagers of Xuejia Village received a lot of subsidies from the Restoration Army. Some villagers simply pushed down the dilapidated thatched huts and built red brick houses. On the red brick walls, they also painted a few big words with wooden paint - "If you want to get rich, build roads first, have more children and raise more pigs."

Of course, this sentence comes from the thoughts of later generations like Chu Yun. In order to prepare for future motor vehicles, Chu Yun encouraged all townships and towns to repair gravel roads first. Due to the promotion of agricultural technology and the possibility of artificial fertilizers being produced in the future, it is appropriate to encourage more children. At this time, the population in southern Liaoning was too small after war.

In addition to the above slogans, there are also various slogans such as "A Centennial Plan, Reading and Recognizing Words", "Production Development, Clean Village" and other slogans. Looking at the various publicity slogans in Xuejia Village, Chu Yun felt unmingly friendly and finally felt like a modern rural area.

"Look, everyone, I heard from the head of the Agricultural Bureau that it was our Lord Chu who came to check the development status of our experimental base. We are our Lord Chu among the group of people, right?" The farmers who feed pigs in the farm saw the paths of the farmland from afar. Agricultural experts who usually focus on agricultural research respectfully accompanied a group of strangers to introduce the situation in the agricultural base to them.

"Let's go and take a look. Lord Chu, who has saved our 100,000 people in southern Liaoning, can even shake hands with him, even if I see him, I can brag to my descendants for the rest of my life." said another farmer.

"Mr. Chu has a good temper. Even if we lean over, we probably won't blame us, right?"

At the instigation of several farmers, a group of farmers rushed up to watch Chu Yun and others.

"We have more than 20 experimental fields, and some of them have not produced significant production methods in traditional cultivation, but some of them have very good production. Some of them have planted corn, potatoes and apples. Although the people here do not like to eat corn and potatoes, they are not disgusted. As long as we find a chef to improve the cooking methods, the people will like theirs. When I was in Great Britain, I knew several ways to make potatoes, and maybe I can improve it." The British nobleman Townsen said on the right side of Chu Yun.

"Mr. Townsend, your British method may not be suitable for our Celestial Empire. There are many ways to cook in our Celestial Empire. As far as I know, there are spicy and sour potato shredded potatoes, potato egg cakes, beef stewed with potatoes, spicy potato shredded potatoes, chicken stewed with potatoes, braised potatoes, sweet and sour potatoes, and shredded potatoes..." Chu Yun thought of these delicacies and said with relish.

"I'm drooling when I say it... I don't accept anything else, but the Ming Dynasty is indeed the best in terms of cooking." Townsend gave a thumbs up.

"Adults, please be sure to visit our comprehensive breeding farm. The farm we have established has more than 100 pigs, more than 50 sheep and thousands of chickens. Through the alien mating technology, we have cultivated dozens of second-generation breeds, recording their growth, and selecting the most suitable breeds from them." The breeding adults Cork and Beckwell enthusiastically invited Chu Yun.

"Although our experimental base is still in the large-scale experiment stage, some planting concepts have been promoted a few months ago. Many farmers have planted new varieties such as corn, tomato, potatoes this year. Moreover, due to the stable situation, the planting area has expanded on a large scale this year. It is no problem to hold on to this winter after the first autumn harvest. As long as the first autumn harvest shows other farmers the results brought by our planting technology, other farmers will definitely accept our planting concept next year." Tar and other planting schools said Xiang Chu Yun.

"Thank you all. Because of your efforts, we can only have enough food for the Liao army. Here I would like to thank you first. After the harvest, I will give you the right rewards." Chu Yun couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw the thriving farm.

To be honest, if there were no such outstanding people, I wouldn’t be without worries.

"We can achieve such achievements entirely due to the support of the adults," said the people from the Agriculture Bureau.

Chen Ting followed Chu Yun, recording the achievements of the Agriculture Bureau, while reminding Chu Yun of his itinerary: "Sir, after inspecting Xuejia Village, we will also go to the mine to patrol the mining site and Dalian Port to patrol the wharf..."

"I know." Chu Yun looked at the golden wheat waves and couldn't help but sigh, "The territory is getting bigger and bigger, and it's harder than before."

"As the saying goes, those who are capable work harder. If you start the Liao army with one hand, you will naturally have to work harder to recover the southern Liaoning. Just now, my subordinates got some good information, but I didn't have time to read it." Chen Ting took out several documents.

"The fourth twenty-eight artillery frigate of Dalian Shipyard was launched to test sailing, and Commander Nelson reported everything went smoothly."

"The Ordnance Bureau produced the last batch of twelve-pound cannons, and at this point, the 100 artillery pieces from the Artillery Brigade were fully equipped."

"The midterm assessment of the first batch of instructors in the Army Martial Arts Hall ended, and the results were satisfactory."

...

Chu Yun listened to Chen Ting's good news and was full of confidence.

"Gazhou Tieshan..." Halfway through, Chen Ting suddenly stopped.

"What's wrong with Tieshan in Gaizhou?" Chu Yun found that Chen Ting's expression was a little wrong.

"This... I dare not say it..." Chen Ting's lips moved, but he still didn't say it.

Chu Yun took the documents in his hand and was shocked when he saw them: an explosion occurred in the newly mined No. 13 mine in Tieshan, Gaizhou, causing a landslide, and more than 20 mining workers were killed.

"Hurry, let's go to Tieshan!" Chu Yun said anxiously.
