Springtime Farming: A Happy Wife At Home

Chapter 2074 Expedient measures

Qiao Xuan is like a duck to water and full of interest.

She was happy about it. It's not good to show too much in front of Shao Yunyun, so he restrained himself for a bit.

She has long wanted to take a walk among the mountains, rivers, and forests in Anze Prefecture, and now she has a fair and honest opportunity.

Places where thousands of people are to be resettled should not be too far from towns, otherwise it will not be easy to manage and their lives will be inconvenient.

The resettlement site has to choose a relatively flat place, and it is also convenient to obtain water.

As for the land reclamation site, it is not a big deal to have more than half an hour, or even an hour's journey from the resettlement site.

It's just a little more walking, it's trivial for them.

Three days later, Qiao Xuan first selected a place and brought both Shao Yunyun and Jia Heming to see it to confirm, and then the group of refugees could be moved there.

This place is about half an hour south of the city of Anze. It is a small rolling hill with only a slightly higher hillside. The trees grow sparsely, and it can be easily developed.

It is no problem to build a house to accommodate thousands of people.

The refugees who live here go south for more than half an hour, and there is a swamp.

Qiao Xuan used her abilities to investigate. That swamp is the remnant of the Great Swamp. It is relatively easy to develop, and the silt is not very deep. It can be cultivated into paddy fields or digging fish ponds to raise fish.

About 30,000 mu can be developed.

The addition of 30,000 mu of fertile land is a good thing for Anze Prefecture!

After all, in this mountainous area, there are really too few fertile fields.

Even if everyone is full of enthusiasm for land reclamation, they only open up dry land and mountains.

Reclamation of wasteland, especially in mountainous areas, has never been an easy task.

It was easy for Qiao Xuan to do this, and it was all smashed with money.

Ordinary people, who can smash it?

The trees, weeds, shrubs, thorns and thorns on the ground need to be cleaned up, and the underground is even more laborious. All kinds of tree roots are deeply rooted, and all kinds of grass roots are intertwined like a fishing net chessboard. It is very laborious to clean up.

These are not enough. The first three years of the newly opened land, no matter what is planted, it takes several times of energy to take care of it, because the weeds will grow wildly.

Weeding alone can be tiring.

And the land reclaimed, after the land deed is done, it will be taxed.

Although not many, but not many are produced.

In addition, it takes money to buy land~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Therefore, people generally seldom choose to open up wasteland.

The first few years were very difficult. Not many people are willing to endure it unless it is a last resort.

It is also now that under the leadership of Qiao Xuan, the cultivation of various medicinal materials, star anise, prickly ash and other economic crops can see benefits, and this is why people are willing to open up wasteland one after another.

However, the total amount of wasteland that has been opened is actually not large.

Now, Jia Heming looked at this swamp with some hesitation, and couldn't help but said: "Madam, are you sure that this swamp can really be reclaimed? To be honest, there are many swamps in Anze Prefecture, and there were people who wanted to reclaim the swamp. They have been cultivated into fertile fields, but they have all failed. I am afraid this swamp is... not very active."

Qiao Xuan smiled and said, "I can't read it wrong, Jia Zhoucheng, don't worry, this swamp is also different from a swamp. Some swamps are not suitable for reclamation, while others are suitable. For example, the one in front of us is no problem!"

In fact... that is now, the conditions are limited. If you put it in modern times, no matter how powerful the swamps can be, you can turn them into fertile fields, so why is it so difficult?
