"When we open up wasteland to grow food, we also need to vigorously develop the breeding industry. We can domesticate a large number of small animals, which can solve the daily meat problem.
There is also vegetable cultivation, which naturally needs to be carried out at the same time. I believe that after two or three years of reclamation, we can completely solve the food problem of urban residents.
In addition, land reclamation and grain cultivation will also be carried out in several other cities. Our five cities can all open up wasteland and cultivate land to meet their own food needs.
If everything goes well, there will be a surplus of food every year, which can also be sold to other city residents, killing two birds with one stone. "
"Okay, City Lord Yang, your plan is great!"
Le Ding shouted excitedly.
Everyone became very excited. Yang Xiao's plan can fundamentally solve the city's food supply problem and can be regarded as a long-term security strategy.
"Fan Chen, you are responsible for coordinating the work of clearing up wasteland and farming. In the early stage, you organized the guards and the main male labor in the city. You used everyone's combat power to cut down trees, clear up wasteland, build ditches, and bring in river water.
We are responsible for basically sorting out the fields, and then divide them into small plots and rent them to families for their own cultivation, charging a certain amount of rent every year. "
Yang Xiao took out Huaxia’s rural household responsibility system.
After everyone heard this, they all thought it was feasible.
The reclamation of the dark forest cannot be accomplished by relying on the strength of a single family, especially since there are several water conservancy projects to dig trenches to divert river water, which is a very large amount of work.
The city will come forward to collectively reclaim the land and then rent it to various families for planting, and collect rent every year. This can obtain a large amount of rent for the city, and this rent is paid every year, which solves the city's operating expenses.
The rents from the new city expansion and the current farmland rents can bring a lot of income to the city every year. There is no problem in supporting the city's management and army guards.
Yang Xiao explained the specific provisions of the household responsibility system in detail, Fan Chen was responsible for recording it, and everyone collectively discussed the specific implementation plan.
"After the meeting is over, we can tell all the citizens about this policy of opening up wasteland to grow food. Starting tomorrow, we can organize the guards and some of the male labor force in the city to go outside the city to open up wasteland and build aqueducts."
Yang Xiao said, took out a sketch and hung it on the wall behind him.
"Look, everyone, this is a land reclamation sketch I drew after inspecting the dark forests around the city during this period. This is a river. We can reclaim farmland, build aqueducts, and grow food along both sides of the river.
Although there are no rivers passing through these places, there are huge water pools in the mountains. The water pools can be built to store more natural rainwater, and then build diversion channels from the water pools to reclaim wasteland around them..."
Yang Xiao pointed to the sketch behind him, which was the result of a month of hard work examining the surrounding geographical environment.
Feihu and others were shocked when they saw it.
"Boss, it turns out you had a plan for a long time. I admire you, I admire you!"
"Boss, you have worked hard during this time. We are so lucky to have a boss like you!"
"Boss, on behalf of all the people in the city, I would like to thank you! You are our food, clothing and parents!"
...
Yang Xiao waved his hand,
"Stop it, don't give me a high hat. With this intention, you can unite and work together in the future to get things done. As long as we solve the food supply problem, we will solve the fundamental problem of future urban development.
With cheap food, more and more people can be attracted into our cities,
I have already thought about it. Not only should our City of Hope attract more immigrants, but the other cities should also attract immigrants. At the same time, we should develop all five of our cities.
Hello everyone, this is really good! "
"Boss, you are really talented, wise, mighty, kind-hearted, and benefit the people..."
"City Lord Yang, you are a god!"
...
Yang Xiao: “@#$%”
MMP, why are you so stupid?
...
Soon, Yang Xiao's policy on opening up wasteland to grow grain and family contracting responsibilities spread throughout the city. After hearing this, all the citizens were very excited. This meant that as long as a family could own a piece of land, they would not be able to own it in the future. Will starve to death.
Having food to eat and a house to live in can solve the basic problem of food and clothing. This is the most basic requirement for everyone.
In the past, everyone mainly relied on hunting monsters to survive.
Although there are many monsters in the dark forest and it is impossible to kill them all, hunting monsters is dangerous.
Every year, countless people die in the mouths of monsters, causing many tragedies in which families lose their fathers and husbands. Now, with Yang Xiao’s plan to open up wasteland and grow food, everyone can get rid of the dangerous and turbulent life in the past and become a stable one. .
A large-scale production movement to open up wasteland soon began around the City of Hope.
At the same time, Yang Xiao also called Qi Lao, Hei Mu, Suo Nan and others over and asked them to learn the new policy and implement it after returning.
Originally, Suonan and others were worried that the prosperity of the City of Hope would suck away a large number of their city's population. Now with Yang Xiao's new policy, these cities have the same people-benefiting policies, which can not only retain citizens, but also attract more people from other places. Attract immigrants.
After all, there is no shortage of housing in these cities. Some people have even immigrated to the City of Hope, leaving many empty houses.
A large-scale production movement was launched vigorously in the City of Hope, Titan City, Shuizhe City, Firebird City and Cold Wind Valley.
Ma Kui used familiar commodity trafficking routes and suppliers to successfully purchase a large amount of grain, as well as various grain and vegetable seeds, as well as some necessary production tools.
In the first month, City of Hope opened thousands of acres of fertile farmland near the river and sowed seasonal crops.
In the second month, more fertile farmland was cultivated, and aqueducts began to be built, diverting river water dozens of kilometers away.
