Qingshantun, which was originally just a wasteland, is now like the earth blowing by the spring breeze, ushering in his new life. The hard work of the winter of last year finally began to feel full of harvest after spring came.

The huge ponds are full of snow in winter pits, and the snowflakes collected around them have now turned into clear water, and the streams in the mountains have also been diverted to these ponds. Without the flowing water from the mountains, it would be difficult to fill these large ponds with the snow alone. Even after that, you can rely on these streams to keep the ponds injected with live water to ensure that the land is not suffering from drying up.

Li Ze stopped by these ponds and saw that there were groups of half-large ducks and geese playing leisurely on the water surface. From time to time, you could see fish jumping out of the water, turning over in the air, and falling into the water with a bang. The ducks were so shocked that they swam all over, but after a moment they gathered together, and one neatly lined up to take one and wandered past Li Ze.

He set his eyes on the head of Qingshan Tun.

Although the family of the four brothers of the Chen family has now settled in Qingshantun, in fact, these four brothers have now completely separated from their jurisdiction over Qingshantun. This is also Li Ze intentionally. They are now directly incorporated into Li Ze's guards. Chen Changfu and Chen Changgui followed Chen Bing and Chu Sheng to Wuyi to reorganize other local government soldiers. Chen Chang'an followed Tu Lichun, and Chen Changping followed Li Ze. The four of them were completely separated. Today, Li Ze came out, but even Chen Changping did not take him.

Li Ze consciously gradually fades away the influence of the four Chen brothers in Qingshantun. As long as the people here get better and better, the centripetal force on him will naturally increase and increase. On the contrary, the four Chen brothers will naturally become more and more alienated.

The current head of Qingshan Tun is a manager in Li Zezhuang, named Li Gen.

"Young Master, according to the words of the young master, Qingshan Tun joined Yixing Society, but Qingshan Tun is different from other places. The residents here are basically rich, mostly old, weak, women and children, so I divided them into groups and no longer had big stoves, but started the group as a unit. Each group was distributed to the same food and vegetables at the beginning, but in autumn, how they could live depends on the management ability of these groups." Li Gen explained.

Li Ze passed by one by one and lit the pond in front of him and said, "So, in fact, you have already contracted these ponds, right?"

Li Gen nodded embarrassedly: "Yes, there are five large ponds in total, and they have been contracted by two groups. They promised that by the end of the year, they would hand over a certain amount of property to the village."

Li Ze turned over and got off the horse, walked to the edge of the pond, and smiled and said, "Li Gen, you have a lot of ideas. This is done well."

Li Gen's face was red when he received praise: "These two groups took everything that could be changed to money, exchanged for some money, and then bought ducks, fish fry, goose fry, and young master. In fact, under the pond, they had already planted lotus seedlings. If everything goes well, in summer, these ponds will be full of lotus flowers, which can be a scene."

Li Ze smiled and said, "They just don't care if this is a scene. What they are nervous about is whether lotus seeds can be sold in autumn and whether there are lotus roots to be collected in winter. Tell them that as long as the things come out, they will be sold to the farm."

"Thank you for your care, my son." Li Gen said.

"When grouping, there was no dispute, right?"

"No, I only have two words, fair." Li Gen said: "There are many strong laborers, the number of women, children, and children. They are all identifiable. They are based on the family first and then supplemented. They can be freely combined, but they must obey the allocation. In fact, from last winter to this spring, many widows and young and strong people here who have no wives or died of wives have regrouped many families."

Li Ze nodded. This is a matter of no way. This kind of reorganized family is more about living, or living a little better, and feelings, for them, it is probably a luxury. In fact, in this era, there are basically blind marriages and blind marriages. In this situation, at least they know each other well!

"Now everyone is still on the same starting line, but by the end of the year, there will be a gap between the rich and the poor."

Li Gen smiled and said, "Young Master, this is a natural thing. Those who are capable will always make a name for themselves. Just like the tenants in our farm, the young master is exactly the same as them. But now, some families are living a prosperous life, while others are barely able to survive."

"That's right." Li Ze said: "Qingshantun has developed farmland this year, and the harvest will definitely not be good. How much subsidy do you think they need the farm to give in autumn?"

Li Gen shook his head and said, "Young Master, my plan is that after the autumn, Qingshantun will no longer ask for subsidies from the village, and will be self-sufficient and even give back."

Li Ze looked at Li Gen in surprise and said for a while: "If you can really do this, I will reward you greatly. But is there any basis for you to say this? You can't just make me happy in verbal words."

"All the old people in the village know that the young master is a serious person. How dare I speak nonsense? I have carefully considered it." Li Gen said.

"Let me tell me!" Li Ze became interested. In the past, Li Gen was just a manager in the outer courtyard, but he was very clever and dared to show up when encountering problems, so Li Ze left a reflection. This time, when Qingshantun was established, Li Ze remembered him and seemed to have chosen the right person.

"Young Master, although this is a place of birth, there are many ways to improve the harvest. Why don't you go with me to take a look?" Li Gen said.

"Okay, go." Li Gen threw the whip to Tu Lichun and walked with Li Gen.

There were many simple straw sheds next to the pond, these chicken, duck, geese houses and some pigpens. When the piglets saw someone approaching, they rushed up to the railing and hummed.

"The feces of these guys are the first fertilizer." Li Gen smiled and said, "I organized the children to dig back a large number of fallen leaves from the mountains and throw them in the pigpen. It won't take long to turn into fertilizer. This is the second and third level..." Li Gen glanced at Xia He beside Li Ze and said embarrassedly: "I have built several large toilets in the village. Everyone must go wherever they go out. They dare to urinate and defecate anywhere. They grabbed a stool and beat boards, and there are thousands of people, so there are still many rice fields in total."

Xia He blushed, but Li Ze and Tu Lichun laughed.

"This method is good. Not only did it get enough fertilizer, it is also excellent for the hygiene of the entire village." Li Ze said with a smile.

"There are old rotten leaves in the deep mountains and forests. When everyone is fine, they will carry a few trouts and pour them into the fields." Li Gen said: "Then it is to cut down some trees and then burn them with soil. This is the fourth fertilizer."

Li Gen pointed to the round mounds in the middle of the field, and the curling blue smoke was emitting from the mounds.

"The harvest of land is only one of them." Li Gen continued: "Qingshantun relies on Daqingshan, so he naturally has to rely on the mountains to eat the mountains. Organize everyone to go to the mountains to hunt, collect wild treasures, and sell them to the city. It is all money. Qingshantun has one advantage, that is, everyone can organize better, probably because they had escaped for a long distance. I also want to build a few kilns to burn charcoal. Young Master, there are good oaks in Daqingshan, which are the best materials for burning charcoal. There are masters on the farm, but before, they only burned them for their own use. I want to ask this master to give me some advice, and then sell them out in large quantities."

"As long as you are willing to pay for someone, you will be allowed." Li Ze glanced at Li Gen with appreciation. This was a very thoughtful person.

"Then I will thank you for yourselves first." Li Gen said overjoyed. "Qingshantun is insufficient in manpower, and Qingshen is basically going to be taken away, so he can only think of other ways to make money. If all of these can be accomplished, at least we can get enough food and clothing by the end of this year."

Li Ze patted his shoulder and said, "By the end of the year, if all these become reality, I will arrange for you to be the county magistrate in the county to help Yang Kai make the entire Wuyi County rich."

Li Gen was stunned: "Young Master, where is the material for being an official? I don't even recognize much of my words!"

"Being an official may not necessarily be very knowledgeable!" Li Ze said lightly: "If the people under his command have food and live a good life, then they are good officials. Are you doing what an official should do now? It's just that Qingshan Village is smaller and Wuyi County is bigger. Chen Bingqin and the others are just transitioning now to help Yang Kai stabilize the situation. Those two guys lead troops to fight and make money. Haha, probably the only way to think about is to grab a way. So, people like you are exactly what we lack. Do what we are doing first. Of course, it's best to know more words."

Li Gen clasped his fists with his hands and bowed to the ground.
