Some sweet potatoes and potatoes were also planted during the spring plowing season, but because most of the land was planted with winter wheat, there was not much land left, so not many sweet potatoes and potatoes were planted at that time.
At this time, the land needed to plant sweet potatoes and potatoes is much more than during the spring plowing period. Fortunately, Ling Xue's cornucopia has been upgraded, otherwise the sweet potato vines and potato pieces she prepared might not be enough.
Ling Xue took all the able-bodied people to work in the fields. Fortunately, there was not much else at the time, so there was definitely enough manpower.
Looking at the vast expanses of cultivated land, Shen Zhen was filled with emotion: "Don't tell me, working here really gives me a sense of accomplishment!"
Ling Xue straightened up and said in agreement, "That's right. You used to command others, but now that you're doing farm work yourself, it certainly feels different."
"Now the old general and General Zhao have recaptured three more counties. Our territory has expanded a lot. The people in the three counties over there are all beating drums and gongs with joy." Shen Zhen turned the topic back to the war.
Although Ling Xue was also paying attention to the war situation, most of her attention was focused on infrastructure.
"I heard that we have added a few more powerful generals?" Ling Xue was well aware of these major events.
Shen Zhen nodded happily: "Yes, they all came here on their own initiative for the sake of their soldiers. They don't ask for anything else, as long as they can fill their stomachs, they will be very satisfied."
"Yeah! It's not easy!"
Ling Xue also felt very emotional. In the face of natural disasters and man-made disasters, survival is a big problem.
Don’t think that having enough to eat is an easy thing. In fact, it is the most difficult thing to have enough to eat at this time, otherwise those big and small forces would not have come to join us.
Even if you have a lot of gold, silver and jewelry, it will be useless. Food is something more precious.
There are still many people who cannot survive and have left their homes. These people did not go anywhere else, but went directly to Ling Xue's sphere of influence.
At this time, only the people here in Lingxue can survive in the world. If they don't come here, they won't be able to survive either.
As soon as they entered Ling Xue's territory, the people knelt down and cried loudly: "Oh my God, we have finally reached the young master's place, and we are alive!"
"Dad, why couldn't you hold on for a few more days? We're here, we're alive!"
This is the case for many people. The soldiers at the checkpoints have seen it so many times that they are no longer surprised.
It would be bad not to let them vent their emotions. Once they have vented enough, it will be easier to make arrangements for the next step.
After this group of people had cried enough, the selected team leaders and group leaders started working.
"Everyone, come and line up! Line up! Registration has started for the 32nd land reclamation group. Register and you'll get a steamed bun and a bowl of water. First come, first served, while supplies last!"
"Registration for the eleventh team of the strongest pioneering group has begun. Register and receive a meat bun and a bowl of tea. First come, first served!"
"There are only three spots left for the first team of pioneers. Hurry up and sign up! You'll get two pancakes and housing!"
Even though they are all at the same level, the strength of each pioneering team is still different. The stronger teams have relatively better conditions and can recruit strong and healthy people faster and in larger numbers. The weaker teams recruit relatively slowly.
The sooner you recruit, the sooner you can start clearing wasteland and cultivating the land. The sooner you complete the work, the richer the rewards will be. Therefore, some of these team leaders secretly pay for benefits just for the rewards after completion.
