As soon as Xie Yunpeng walked in front of a few people, Ye Yutong said with a smile: "Uncle Xie, the paper making is very successful. We should be able to open the shop in the second half of the year."
Xie Yunpeng bowed his hands towards them and said respectfully: "Madam, when Lin Hong took everyone hunting last year, he discovered a large bamboo forest.
I measured it and found that it was about seven or eight acres, enough for us to make a lot of paper. It will definitely be no problem to open a shop in the second half of the year. "
"That's great, Uncle Xie, where is the bamboo forest? I'll go take a look in the afternoon." Ye Yutong asked.
"It's about half an hour away from here. I'll let my second brother take you there in the afternoon."
Xie Yunpeng reported to Ye Yutong the current situation of the paper mill again.
Li Yunze saw that the paper factory had added a lot of manpower, and the new ones were already very skilled in doing things. They should have been arranged last year.
Ye Yutong also discovered that there were only more than 20 people when they left last year, but now the number has increased to 50.
"Uncle Xie, according to the current production volume, the warehouse will have to be rearranged."
Xie Yunpeng pointed to the open space next to the factory building and said, "Madam, I have discussed it with Lin Hong two days ago. That land is reserved for the paper mill to build a warehouse. Once the crops are planted in the ground, repairs will start immediately."
Ye Yutong is very satisfied with Xie Yunpeng's execution ability, and this person is also very decisive in doing things.
As long as she conveys her meaning, Xie Yunpeng can get the matter done quickly, very efficiently, and she doesn't need to worry about the follow-up.
"Uncle Xie, your arrangement is very good. You will be the director of our paper mill from now on. If I am not here, you can make the decision on all matters in the factory. If there is anything you really can't decide, go to Lin Hong and Lin Jiang to discuss it. ."
"Thank you madam for your trust. I will live up to your trust."
"You are from the Xie family, of course I believe you."
Ye Yutong's words made Xie Yunpeng's eyes turn red.
Yes, he is from the Xie family, who grew up with the master since childhood.
Although the master, his wife and the eldest young master are no longer here, there is still a young master in the Xie family.
As long as there is a glimmer of hope, the Xie family will turn around sooner or later.
After dinner, several people sat in the hall to discuss matters.
Lin Jiang reported the progress of the past few months to Li Yunze, "I selected 800 good players from these teams and let them join the cavalry team a year ago.
There are currently 4,366 people in the cavalry team. Next month I plan to let them compete and eliminate 300 people first. "
Li Yunze glanced at Lin Jiang appreciatively and said, "Okay, let Chaoyang participate in the competition when the time comes. There is no need to let him go, it must be fair and just.
If he is eliminated, let him go to the infantry team to continue training. When he is capable, he will join the cavalry team. "
Lin Jiang glanced at Li Chaoyang and saw that the boy's expression was as usual, he should be confident.
Li Yunze asked Lin Hong, "Sowing will be done next month. How much land can you clear out here? We will count it tomorrow and give me the number. I will bring back the grain seeds to you then."
"Master, I have already measured it. Inside the base, plus the plots of land outside, there are a total of 2,800 acres."
"Okay, then plant them all, and I will bring you the seeds in a few days."
Li Yunze then ordered Lin Jiang: "Short training during this period and let the brothers help plant food in the ground first."
"Yes, Master."
Li Yunze looked at the two of them and said solemnly: "You remember, food is the most important thing for the people, and nothing is as important as food.
In the future, when farming is busy, let the brothers work in the fields for three hours every day, and then train for the rest of the time. "
"yes."
Ye Yutong sat next to him and calculated how much grain would be needed for these more than 2,000 acres of land?
There are three acres of potatoes and three acres of sweet potatoes planted in the space, and the rest are miscellaneous grains, fruits and vegetables.
After returning from Dingbeihou, they harvested two crops of potatoes and sweet potatoes. The yield per mu is about 8,000 kilograms.
Minus the tens of thousands of pounds promised to Beihou, this is still a bit far behind.
There are still several thousand kilograms of corn in the space, and they will all be taken out and planted when the time comes.
There are also various fruits and vegetables, and by the way, there are hundreds of kilograms of soybeans, mung beans, red beans, sorghum, etc. in the space.
There shouldn't be much difference in planting all the crops. Then we can bring in some sweet potatoes, potatoes and corn from the valley side. That will definitely be enough.
Li Yunze and Ye Yutong stayed at the base for a few days and then went back.
Ye Mingxuan and Li Chaoyang were left at the base.
The two of them wanted to get grain so it was not convenient for Li Chaoyang to follow them.
Ye Mingzhe and the others also arrived at Qingshan Town.
Lin Zhong brought twenty masters and prepared to escort Yongchang and Wencai to Beidi first.
"Uncle Lin, my brother-in-law has decided that the people from Beihou will meet them in Yunzhou. We can just send Uncle Yongchang and Uncle Wencai there."
"Okay, then we will go to Yunzhou first, and then go to Dongyang County when we come back."
The group of people hurried towards Yunzhou City.
The place they agreed on was a small town fifty miles away from Yunzhou City.
When they arrived at the agreed place, Shen Erlang had been waiting there with his troops for several days.
Seeing that they came empty-handed and did not pull any grain or seeds, although Shen Erlang was a little disappointed, he did not feel any blame in his heart.
He knew that His Highness the Crown Prince was by no means the kind of person who broke his word. He must have encountered difficulties when he broke his promise this time.
It's not easy for His Royal Highness, having to shoulder such a big responsibility at such a young age.
We sent them so much food last year, if we still blame His Highness for this matter.
Then who are they in Dingbeihou Mansion? How can they be so heartless?
He warmly welcomed several people into the courtyard.
After entering the room, Ye Mingzhe introduced several people.
Then he said to Shen Erlang: "Brother-in-law, we came in a hurry this time, so we didn't pull any grain for you.
You should prepare your carriage and horses immediately and go to Dongyang County with us. My sister and brother-in-law should be arriving with food. "
After hearing this, Shen Erlang stood up immediately and asked in surprise: "Mingzhe, is it true? Master has prepared grain for us?"
"Brother-in-law, of course it's true. Why don't you send a few people back to Uncle Yongchang and Uncle Wencai to teach them how to plant?
Then take people to Dongyangjun to bring back the remaining grain seeds, so that spring planting will not be delayed. "
"Okay, I'll make arrangements right away."
After he came back from Dongyang County last year, he was so happy that he couldn't sleep for several nights.
He watched the grain harvested by his third uncle Zhuangzi. He harvested more than 2,000 kilograms of sweet potatoes from one acre of land. The potato lump harvest was even more, nearly 3,000 kilograms.
I heard from my third uncle that they planted late. If the weather was not so dry, they could plant half a month earlier and harvest more than a thousand kilograms per acre.
What is this concept? If they plant all the sweet potatoes and potatoes in the north, where will they have to worry about food in the future?
The soldiers and the people can eat well every day.
If the crops are well planted, there may not be enough to eat, and there will even be food for livestock.
His father cried with joy when he learned about the yield of potatoes and sweet potatoes.
He bowed in the direction where His Royal Highness the Prince left.
