Please Do Not Disturb My Cultivation

Chapter 262 Times Have Changed

Lin Wen's over-limit growth plan finally showed its power at this time.

When Yuanshen exceeds 180%, he can use many high-end spells.

It has more functions.

——

At present, due to the extremely large-scale reception of refugees in Jangsan County, various materials, especially food, tents and medical supplies, are extremely short.

Due to the interference of the council, the empire restricted the large-scale procurement of Changshan County. Now almost all the materials are supported by inventory.

The tent issue has been temporarily resolved by the mountain building.

According to Yang Shaohu's plan, the entire mountain complex can accommodate a total of 4.5 million refugees, far exceeding the 1.2 million refugees originally designed.

Therefore, Lin Wen gave up his plan to build another mountain complex and turned to solve the food problem.

Chen Xingtai's Shangxi Town has always played an important role in food supply during this period.

One million tons of high-quality vegetables were supplied successively, which greatly alleviated the problem of food supply in Changshan County, and improved the monotonous recipes and enriched the variety of dishes.

Their Chinese cabbage is clear and juicy, and everyone who has eaten it is full of praise. A bowl of porridge, a few pieces of cabbage, a few pieces of rapeseed, a little diced radish, and a little bit of minced meat are all delicious for both refugees and Lin Wen.

However, the vegetable fields in Shangxi Town will be harvested in a few days, and the grain in Changshan County is not enough for a month.

The food problem is imminent.

If there is a shortage of food, it will definitely be a huge disaster with the current scale of more than 8 million people in Changshan County.

After the night talk with Lin Wen that day, Chen Xingtai began to convene the democratic parties in various places on a large scale, and supported civil organizations in various states on a large scale, including the Daohui in Hezhou, the Three Points in Yunzhou, the Triad in Lingzhou, the Tiandi Party in Mingzhou, the Old Brothers in Tianzhou, the Green Gang in Xuzhou, and the Endeavour, Xinhua, and Nongxing Association in Shizhou, etc.

It is said that they are non-governmental organizations, but in fact they are all organizations that fight against the state government, those that resist rent and tax, those that expel gentry and landlords, and those that fight against officials.

The Democratic Party mainly provides them with information and funds, as well as a way to escape when the situation is not good-Changshan County.

Therefore, in just over a month, the Democratic Party accepted more than 100,000 members of the Democratic Party and civil society organizations from all over the country, as well as more than 200,000 farmers who accompanied them.

Shangxi Town has grown from 60,000 people to 410,000 people.

Fortunately, Zhao Minggong had already dispatched more than 100,000 laborers and used the trees they felled to build more than 10,000 simple wooden houses at the foot of the Taixu Mountains before they were resettled.

The Democratic Party also expanded from more than 3,000 people to more than 60,000 people all of a sudden.

Although the expansion was rapid, it was still less than one-fifth of what it was in the heyday of the Democratic Party. Chen Xingtai hastily summoned members from all over the country, and at the same time began large-scale land reclamation.

There is only 100,000 hectares of land around Shangxi Town, which can only support more than 60,000 farmers. Chen Xingtai even had to divide some of them to go to the mountains to log and hunt.

Now it has suddenly increased to 410,000 people, and 100,000 hectares of cultivated land is not enough at all.

There can't be more than 300,000 people, all of whom will go logging and hunting, right?

Most of them are farmers. If possible, Chen Xingtai still hopes that they can cultivate the land.

More land is needed to carry them.

Therefore, he has been actively reclaiming wasteland.

However, beyond 100,000 hectares, the land is very barren, the soil is compacted, hard and not fertile, and the reclamation work is very difficult.

For this reason, the cadres of the Democratic Party are all sad. They are all farmers, have a natural affection for farmers, and have a natural complex for land, planting, and harvesting.

The harvest of grain made them cheer, and the difficulties in land reclamation made them sad and depressed.

However, the leaders of the Democratic Party, Chen Xingtai and Yun Qingshui, have always maintained a high-spirited attitude. Yun Qingshui even quoted a famous saying: This is not the sidewalk on Shenjing Central Street.

Chen Xingtai was very happy with Yun Qingshui's rapid improvement. With their efforts, the Democratic Party actively purchased a large amount of chemical fertilizers, a large number of advanced agricultural tools, and even some agricultural machinery that had not yet been popularized in the empire to speed up land reclamation activities.

The reason why Chen Xingtai dared to do this is: to the west of Shangxi Town, there is a huge wasteland, extending from the place close to Xinzhen to the foot of the Taixu Mountains. It has an area of at least 500,000 hectares, and it is very close to the water source. As long as the water conservancy facilities are well done, it will be a very good cultivated land.

If there are 500,000 hectares of irrigated land, Shangxi Town can fully develop into an agricultural center. Lin Wenyu's promise is that there will be no agricultural tax for three years, which is equivalent to the fact that the grain grown by farmers can be completely freely controlled.

When Chen Xingtai was in Zhongzhou, the standard of agricultural tax was 72%, that is, if one hundred catties of grain were grown, a tax of seventy-two catties would be paid, and he would only get twenty-eight catties.

According to the information of the Democratic Party in other regions, the tax in Zhongzhou is still the lowest, and the tax in other places is generally 75% to 92%.

If it is the rented land of the landlord, it will be even worse. One person plows 30 acres of land, and after a busy year, he receives it in his own pocket, not even half of it.

This kind of tenant farmer is the worst. He can't eat enough to eat, and he lives like a hundred years ago. He can't enjoy all the benefits of technological development in the past hundred years.

So some people say that the empire is like a monster. The east is prosperous and developed, with high-rise buildings, neon lights, and airplanes and sports cars.

In some areas in the west, it is not uncommon to see people facing the loess and their backs facing the sky, and it is not uncommon to see it. It is no different from a hundred years ago.

Even the landlords are exactly the same. All the hard-earned harvests are taken away by the landlords or the government, and the little bit that falls into their hands will be exploited and scraped by others.

For thousands of years, the fate of farmers has not changed.

Only Jangsan County is different.

Here, the farmers really feel the joy of harvesting, all the things they grow are their own,

There are 5,000 kilograms of Chinese cabbage in one mu of land, so much that even more than a dozen vegetable baskets cannot be piled up. The heavy sense of harvest was something that I never dared to think about before.

Taking into account the market problems in Changshan County, Xiao Xiao priced Chinese cabbage at 1 cent per kilogram. Although it was much cheaper than the price of vegetables in other places, since there was no exploitation and no transportation problems, the gross income per mu of land was 500 yuan. On average, each person had 24 mu of land and the gross income was 12,000 yuan.

After deducting the 20% tax that was used to purchase the house in Shangxi Town, as well as the consumption of seeds and fertilizers, the net income is as high as 7,000 yuan.

The income is less than 7,000 yuan in three months, and the average monthly income is 2,300 yuan. The income from farming is beyond their dreams.

On the day of harvest, the whole town was filled with celebration. In order to express their gratitude, the town invited carpenters to carve wooden statues of Lin Wen, Chen Xingtai and Yun Qingshui to stand at the entrance of the village. Every day when the harvest came back, they would worship and put half a stick of incense to thank Sheriff Lin and the Democratic Party for bringing them a happy life.

The cadres of the Democratic Party are even more excited. Isn't this the day they dream of? They are farmers, all of them have talents and abilities, but they are unwilling to be the dogs of landlords and bullies, so they join the Democratic Party and want to create a new world.

And Jangsan fit perfectly into the deepest dreams of their souls, they just felt like they were crawling through hell and couldn't wait to save more people and drag them out of hell.

Therefore, they are also the most active people in reclamation, and they are also the most anxious when reclamation is unfavorable.

But there is no other way. The land must be reclaimed inch by inch, and the canal must be repaired meter by meter. Chen Xingtai encouraged them and said: It doesn't matter if the land can't be reclaimed for a month. You can work for two months. If you can't do it for two months, you can use it for half a year. If you can't do it for half a year, you can use it for a year. One day, we will run on the 500,000 hectares of wheat waves, so that all farmers can enjoy the joy of a good harvest!

His words won the applause of the audience, and everyone mustered up their fighting spirit, determined to change the appearance of this world in a year or even a few years.

Chen Xingtai then went to Lin Wen, hoping to seek his support.

After all, these more than 300,000 people cannot be supported by the current economy of the Democratic Party, and the county government has to allocate funds.

But Lin Wen gave an unimaginable answer: What land needs to be cultivated for a year? It takes two days to cultivate it for me.

Two days?

Chen Xingtai was surprised and said: County Lin, this is impossible, even if there are millions of people, it is barren land, and it is not planted just by opening it.

Lin Wen said: Xingtai, right away, I will sprinkle the essence of life on 500,000 hectares of land.

It can turn barren land into fertile land, and turn Susukino into mature land. You just organize the farmers, plan well, and plant the seeds.

He patted Chen Xingtai's shoulder.

Strive to turn this land into a granary for Changshan County as soon as possible.

Chen Xingtai smiled instantly.

He always believed Lin Wen's words unconditionally, because he knew that Sheriff Lin never joked about big things.

He said that there is the essence of life, so it must be there, and he said that it can change Susukida into mature field, then it must be able to change.

Great, I'll go right away.

Chen Xingtai immediately rushed back to Shangxi Town.

Lin Wen came to the wasteland west of Shangxi Town.

I got out of the car and stepped on the ground. It was dry and barren, just like the Gobi, and there was no possibility of arable land at all.

This is also the fundamental reason why Changshan County has been so poor and backward in the past forty years——

The land is barren and there is too little arable land.

but,

Times have changed.

Lin Wen stepped on a piece of gravel.

It started when I set foot on this land.
