Chapter 2256 A Large Harvest This Year

The call of "Huheyouhai" resounded over the Yellow River. The railway builders rested, while the bridge builders had to continue working.

They did not take a holiday on New Year's Eve, but continued to work in shifts according to the original schedule, with five times the wages, and returned to normal after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

The income from working for half a month is equivalent to two and a half months, which they think is worth it.

Their family is not far away, in Luoyang, and there are soldiers patrolling, so there is no problem with safety.

Everyone is racing against time to repair the bridge before the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the upper reaches of the Yellow River can be opened at any time.

The people working on the railway also stick to their posts, they are trained.

With one more line of rails, the mobilization volume increases several times, and the switch is a group, not one person is arranged to take turns.

The train is not allowed to have any problems, there is only one line, and the train is relied on to transport supplies every day.

The small train rumbled to the martyrs' cemetery, and many people brought things to pay tribute to them, thanking them for all they have done for the Tang Dynasty.

There are many programs praising soldiers in the Spring Festival Gala, and the guards of Lijiazhuang participated in one of them.

They performed on the stage how the Tiaodang Army killed the enemy, and the scarecrows were posed in various postures.

Some scarecrows represented friendly forces, and some represented enemy forces.

When the two sides were in a stalemate, the Tiaodang soldiers rushed out from behind. They could jump on the shoulders of friendly forces and wield short blades to attack the enemy.

Others wore armor, but they were bare-chested, attacking back and forth in the enemy formation.

They focused on the most difficult place to attack and broke through.

Relying on reaction, speed and swordsmanship to kill their way out, risking their lives.

Hug the enemy with teeth and bite, hit with the head, not caring whether they were injured or dead, just to defeat the enemy formation at a certain point.

The reason why real people were not used for cooperation was that they were afraid that the guards would get into the state and forget that it was a performance.

The people were so excited that some kept wiping tears, it was too tragic.

So ordinary people took things away, and then took them back, and left incense.

The wealthy families organized their families to go to the Martyrs' Cemetery together, and the roasted pig heads used for the memorial service were given to the disabled soldiers guarding the Martyrs' Cemetery.

These soldiers will take good care of the cemetery, have high incomes, and the key is that they have weapons.

Anyone who wants to sabotage needs to be killed first, which is relatively difficult.

…

"Let's go to the Martyrs' Cemetery on the fifth day of the first lunar month and offer sacrifices at Tianshu by the way."

At four o'clock in the afternoon, His Majesty gave a banquet, all of which were roasted skewers, but no roasted whole lamb or whole pig.

Other vegetables were roasted in the same way, or if anyone didn't want to eat roasted ones, they could eat raw cabbage, lettuce, eggplant, garlic, etc.

There were also seafood. If you needed something or how much you needed, press the bell on the table. Someone would ask you when you pressed it. Tell the other party and they would deliver it.

It was just a matter of scanning the code with your mobile phone to order food. It wasn't that you couldn't have it, but Li Yi didn't want to exchange it.

There were few people at Li Longji's table, him, Li Chengqi, Li Yi, and Wang Han.

At this moment, he was talking to Li Yi. The generous Wang Han became restrained, thinking hard about things and poems. He was ready to respond to the poem given by His Majesty at any time.

"Why not go on the 15th?" Li Yi thought of the 15th day of the first lunar month, the night of the full moon.

"Watch the performance on the Lantern Festival. This time, the water curtain and the big screen will be adjusted to show it to the people who haven't seen it before."

Li Longji has made arrangements. He hopes it won't be cloudy or snowy.

Li Yi distributed a handful of roasted skewers to four people including himself. He roasted them himself without ringing the bell.

He took up a dozen scallops and roasted them, pouring sauce on them. "In a few days, some seedlings from Bashui Zhuangzi will be sent out. They will be transported to Luoyang by train first, and then sent to the south of the Yangtze River through the canal."

"For the people to plant?" Li Chengqi asked while holding the skewers.

"The people watch and rent the land to the people. The people of Sinong Temple teach the people. The Sixteen Guards send some people to guard.

The weather in the north and south is different. The greenhouses in the north have many restrictions on sunlight, which affects the breeding of the next generation of seeds.

In the south, farming starts early there. In Qiongzhou, where we grow pepper, we send seeds there and transplant them according to the steps.

Thank you for your arrangement, brother. Pepper will be in large production this year. We have planted a lot.

There are also extra crops grown in the places where the horns grow, which can also be picked. Crops such as rubber trees that were just planted this year have to wait."

Li Yi told Li Longji and Li Chengqi that the pepper has finally grown.

When planting, some people think that it will take several years to harvest. It takes a long time and they are anxious.

But if you don't plant, there will never be a harvest. If you plant rubber trees well, you can't harvest them before you can harvest them in seven years.

Plant, you have to plant, it's too expensive to rely on overseas transportation.

And the pine nuts in the Northeast grow naturally, and you can harvest pine nuts after more than 25 years.

How many 25 years are there in a person's life? Even so, the Tianbing Army also started planting, and at the same time taking care of the pine forest, it's all money!

After 25 years, your own children can enjoy it.

Planting does not mean you have to watch over it every day, you should do what you need to do.

Grafting can be harvested in 12 or 13 years, and grafting is more tiring, so the time is shortened by half.

Ginseng can be harvested in five years, and it will start to grow smaller after the first year, and then grow bigger.

This can be calculated. How much can you earn from planting one acre of radish in a year? How much can you earn in five years?

Planting one acre of ginseng, can you earn more money than planting radishes in five years?

It is not applicable to people who have no savings at home and must earn enough money to grow radishes every year to live.

They need the money from selling radishes to live, and people are unwilling to take out loans.

Li Yi explained the situation. The Tang Dynasty needed some land to grow special medicinal herbs. The land in the northeast was good.

"Is the Andong Protectorate OK?" Li Chengqi asked.

"Okay, it's good there. Anything that can be grown and raised in the northeast can be grown and raised there.

This year, no, last year, the locals sent troops to help bring people back.

This year, we sent people to teach them how to grow. They must guard it well and guard it for many years.

When guarding, we told them the value. In fact, they knew that it was ginseng!

There are also some other places that can be grown. They are in the Khitan territory. As for other places, the medicinal effect will weaken with the year."

Li Yi attaches great importance to the current Andong Protectorate. It is no longer in its original position in history.

When he arrived in the Tang Dynasty, he set up a protectorate there again.

He mainly focused on the open-pit coal mine there. The calorific value of that coal mine was amazing and the sulfur content was particularly low.

Li Longji ate two bites of meat. "Okay, arrange reliable personnel to go. Who is suitable? Hao Lingquan?"

"Hao Lingquan is not suitable. I am looking for someone to teach him the language of Yi Shang. He needs to know at least five languages, and then he will be responsible for external affairs."

Li Yi didn't want Hao Lingquan to go to the Northeast. It would be a waste of talent.

Hao Lingquan's diplomatic ability was too good. He fooled others and killed Mochu.

He led the team to Tubo and quickly established good relations with a group of people in Tubo, persuading them to join the Tang Dynasty.

"Well!" Li Longji nodded. OK.

Wang Han didn't eat a single bite next to him. He kept listening. He was confused at the moment. You don't write poems?
