Chapter 749

"A household with fifty acres, and three thousand households are 150,000 mu of land. The alfalfa produces a lot of grass. The second year to five years after sowing, the annual output of fresh grass per mu is generally between 4,000 and 8,000 kilograms, and the hay yield can be between 1,000 and 1,600 kilograms."

"That's how we calculate it, we can harvest at least 150 million kilograms of hay alone. If we add some essence, it will be enough for all the cavalry and horses in the Song Dynasty to spend the winter."

"But in the past grazing, the livestock would eat it themselves. Are the cattle and horses really used to eating the grass we grow like this?" Gao Qiu and other officials still had doubts in their eyes.

After all, it’s okay to grow food, but it’s the first time that everyone has heard of growing up in their lives.

"Don't worry, has this official done such a thankless thing?" Wang Yang smiled and said in one sentence that he directly criticized the dozen officials present and didn't dare to say another one.

That's right. Although Wang Jingluo seems a little unrestrained, he has really made no mistakes in doing things. Before he makes any mistakes, everyone naturally can only continue to believe him.

Anyway, after having already negotiated with the two thousand households, Wang Yang suddenly appeared in front of everyone to announce the news. Can he still jump out and oppose it? Isn’t this a bullshit?

If you are thinking about this guy, don't... Think about the consequences of those important court officials who are against Wang Yang and Wang Wushan. The picture is too beautiful and unimaginable. Even the important court officials with high and powerful court officials who meet this guy can't help but retreat.

Can you still spend three rounds with such low-ranking officials like Wang Jingluo, who is both civil and military?

However, Wang Yang patiently explained to these officials that the biggest reason why the difficulty of raising horses in the Song Dynasty was the lack of high-quality forage grass, and this alfalfa was originally a legume plant, rich in nutrients and easy to store.

It is made of green feed and is also suitable for making dry feed. There are not many places for horse herding in the Song Dynasty. In this case, there are not enough forage, so how can we keep these tens of thousands of war horses?

So Wang Yang patted his chest and made a promise to the emperor that the output of the three states could be used to ensure that the supply of tens of thousands of war horses in the Song Dynasty could be provided.

Don’t brag or not, let’s talk about it, when will Wang Daguanren just brag and not do practical things?

Of course, this also comes at a price, that is, these forages will be converted into taxes paid by Yanzhou to the court.

According to the constant monstrous amount of grain per stone, the average output of one mu of land is one and a half stone, and 150,000 mu is 225,000 knots, which is enough to match the average value of the Shaanxi prefectures in the Song Dynasty.

Although the farming has just begun, in the past few months, officials and servants have not been idle. Most of the time they have gone deep into the fields and re-measure and plan the fields in these three states.

Nowadays, almost all the people are working hard for more than two million acres of land, and the same is true for Hongzhou. The fields in the northernmost Yuzhou area are almost temporarily vacant except for a small amount of land that continues to be cultivated by the Han people.

Because Youzhou is currently under extensive renovation and construction. Youzhou is located at the northernmost end of the Three Prefectures, facing Shahai in the north, Xiazhou in the east, Xiangqing Army in the west, and Hongzhou in the south.

As long as Youzhou is in the hands of the Song Dynasty, it is equivalent to cutting off the territory of Xixia south of the sand sea. If the people of Xixia want to communicate with each other, they either venture through the territory of the Song Dynasty, or they can only walk around for more than a thousand miles in a honest way.

It can be said that Yuzhou is like a steel knife pressing against the waist and eyes of the strong man in Xixia, while Yanzhou is like a dagger pointing at the throat of the strong man in Xixia.

This is the fundamental reason why even if the Song Dynasty temporarily silenced the Western Xia, Xixia tried every means to regain the land of these three states.

The original city wall in Youzhou was less than 1 zhang high and less than 1 zhang thick. From the beginning, after Wang Yang was appointed as the governor of the Three Prefectures, he conducted a detailed and detailed investigation of the three prefectures, and after reaching consistency with the military generals.

The decision to use Youzhou as the most important point of attack to strengthen its defense. After several months of construction and the migration of 10,000 wing troops, Yuzhou is more like a military fortress in the northwestern border of the Song Dynasty, rather than a prefecture.

At present, the city wall of Youzhou has been thickened and added, so that the perimeter of the city wall of Youzhou City is still ten miles away, but its bottom thickness has reached two feet, the top thickness has reached one five feet, and the height has also increased from the original one two feet to two feet.

In addition, the urn city was built at four gates, and the relocation of the people of the Western Xia made Yuzhou even more solid.

The renovation and reconstruction of Hongzhou are not that exaggerated, but the height, thickness and sturdiness of the city wall have also been greatly improved.

In addition, the land in Hongzhou was fertile, so only 10,000 soldiers and their relatives migrated to Hongzhou, while 20,000 soldiers and their relatives were left behind in Hongzhou.

There are still 10,000 soldiers and their relatives who have arrived in Yanzhou and will continue to head northwest. Their future home will be settled in the new Yanzhou Prefecture City, which is rapidly forming at a rapid pace.

By the end of March, a batch of about 2,000 residential houses had been completed. It is expected that by mid-April, it would be no problem to accommodate 10,000 residents in Xinyanzhou City.

The ten thousand soldiers and their families are expected to arrive in Xinyanzhou around April 10th. After arriving in Xinyanzhou, they can move into their new homes in Xinyanzhou one after another.

Thank God, at least the weather has been very normal this year. Spring is drought and rainy, and no disasters have occurred, so all construction periods are not delayed due to weather and natural disasters.

In addition, this has also brought some people a good harvest. For example, Wang Daguanren also ushered in a full harvest after a spring of hard work and farming.

"I didn't expect me...hehe, I didn't expect me to be a father at such a young age..." Master Wang stared at Li Qingzhao, who looked round and smooth in front of him, and murmured to himself.

"And you will be two fathers when you are doing it." As soon as you look, you will fall to the other beauty Liu Yiyi who also looks very round and beautiful.

Hearing the nonsense of Master Wang, the three girls present couldn't help rolling their eyes in a uniform manner. "Don't be nonsense, what do you mean by two fathers? You should be the father of two kids."

"Well, my wife said it very well. She was saying a word for her husband. Why is it so coincidental? If you don't have it, you won't have it. If you don't have it, you will have it for two..." Wang Yang touched his chin and continued to maintain a mysterious expression and muttered in a daze.

"...Sister, I'd better go out first. It seems that the old doctor who took our pulses for the two of us should be called over and also to take our husband's pulse to see if he is happy or confused." Liu Yiyi stood up as if she was helpless and acted to walk out.
