Under the warm sun, Qingzhou’s soldiers diligently worked the fields.
The idyllic scene felt like a breath of fresh air, but in the next moment, a shadow fell across Xiao Ming’s eyes.
In such a brutal age, to protect this rare peace, he could only use blood and fire to defend it.
This time, the cotton seeds sent by the Chu King filled the holds of five merchant ships. Xiao Ming only spent the equivalent of half a cannon on the purchase of these cotton seeds. Besides the cotton, the thirty cannons also cost the Chu King over fifty thousand taels of silver.
The astounding trade surplus of industrial goods in exchange for agricultural products made Xiao Ming realize the tremendous profits that industrial goods could bring. This further solidified his resolve to continue flooding the Great Yu Empire with industrial products in exchange for various raw materials.
After keeping some of the seeds for Qingzhou, Xiao Ming instructed the soldiers to transport the remaining seeds to other slave-run plantations.
At the Official Farm
Together with Niu Ben, Xiao Ming visited a plot of land outside the official farm, where a long shed was being constructed. The shed was surrounded by brick walls, each creating a four-meter square enclosure.
“This is the Qingzhou Army’s pig farm,” Niu Ben explained to Xiao Ming, his expression more bitter than when they were planting cotton.
After having Qingzhou’s soldiers plant crops, the army had now taken on another responsibility—raising pigs.
