People in Datang have been expelled from school

Chapter 391

"Brown sugar is good for the spleen and liver, nourishing blood and promoting blood circulation." Li Zheng continued: "Actually, children with anemia in childhood, and women who have just given birth are very good. Brown sugar is easy to preserve, unlike sucrose, which is easy to deteriorate."

Feng An didn't understand Li Zheng's brown sugar, but Li Zheng's business methods should not be underestimated.

As long as this kid thinks that he can make money in business, he has never suffered a loss.

Back in the village, another contract was signed between Li Zheng and Feng An.

Feng An left Jingyang with the [-] guan that Li Zheng paid him.

There is a lot of old grain in Lingnan, which has reached the point where it has piled up like a mountain.

Too much food People are not interested in growing food.

But now if someone is willing to collect those old grains that have been piled up for several years and no one wants them.

Not only can people in Lingnan have an extra income, but it can also increase their interest in growing food.

Unlike Guanzhong, there are many mountains and forests in South of the Five Ridges, and it is a headache to transport grain out.

Although he made a lot of money this trip, Feng An knew very well that it was not easy to earn Li Zheng's money.

I saw the newly built road outside Jingyang Village. This road is spacious, flat and clean. It would be great if there is a road like this from Lingnan to Chang'an.

Feng An let out a long sigh, Li is just a child who does not suffer, and someone like him should not think about doing things that waste money.

A lot of old grains were brought into Jingyang, as well as a lot of bran and beans, which were the best for feed.

Li Yifu took the ledger to calculate and said: "Xianhou, there are a total of [-] shi of bran, [-] shi of beans, and [-] shi of old grain, which should be enough for our farm to use until next year."

Li Zheng shook his head and said, "Before winter at most, but the next batch should be delivered."

Today's farms need to be expanded again, and Li Shimin gave [-] mu, which can be used just right.

The villagers looked at the cart after cart as if they couldn't finish the food.

Everyone is very happy to have food, but they are a little disappointed when they see that it is all old food and some of them are about to go moldy.

The aunts in the village whispered to Li Daxiong, "Daxiong, has your son been tricked into buying these grains?"

Li Daxiong also scratched the back of his head, "Could it be that this kid was really deceived?"

Da Niu, who was helping to carry the grain, said in a rough jacket, "Uncle, the teacher uses these old grains to feed the chickens, ducks and pigs."

In this way, the aunts in the village were relieved a lot.

The increasing number of chicks in the farm is also a burden to the village.

The more poultry the more grain is consumed,
But now that there is so much old grain, the pressure on the villagers is much less.

Li Zheng circled a [-]-acre land on the map and said, "Li Yifu, transform this land into a breeding farm."

"Here!" Li Yifu nodded and wrote down Li Zheng's request in his own book. Sometimes Li Zheng ordered a lot of things, and he was used to writing them down first.

Li Zheng continued to instruct: "Put all the chickens, ducks and geese into the newly built farm and raise them separately from the pig farm."

Li Yifu still recorded it in the pamphlet.

Li Zheng also said: "We have rebuilt the original pigsty, expanded our original farm to one side and built it into a place dedicated to raising pigs."

Li Yifu recorded it furiously.

Li Zheng once again marked out a piece of land and said: "The [-] mu of land here is used to open up wasteland. Judging from the current season, do you really think there is still time?"

Li Yifu understood Li Zheng's meaning, "If the wasteland is reclaimed quickly, and the grain is planted in time, we should be able to harvest some grain before winter. It is summer now, so there should be enough time."

Li Zheng nodded slightly, "So this time the land reclamation has to be accelerated."

After listening to what Li Zheng said, Li Yifu said, "How do we use the remaining land?"

"The remaining 4000 mu of land will be reserved first, and I will use it for other purposes in the future."

"Understood." Li Yifu nodded, "Let's arrange the land reclamation."

After giving orders to Li Yifu, Li Zheng came to the blacksmith shop and asked the three brothers of the Tie family to build Quyuanli.

The tricycle seems to have a simple structure. It is not so easy to cast all iron according to the last specification.

Today's tricycle skeleton has been half completed, and the iron rings on the wheels are very difficult to build.

Bearings and brackets are problems In this era without electric welding, these are the problems.

Li Zheng said to Tie Da: "If you don't understand anything, you can go to the academy to ask Yan Liben. I remember that the children should have learned something called compasses, which is very helpful for you to describe the size."

"understood."

There are a lot of people in the blacksmith shop, most of whom are sent by Li Shimin to learn the new iron forging method.

An experienced blacksmith can see the mystery at a glance.

The secret of melting iron lies in the firepower, as long as the firepower is strong enough, it is not difficult to melt iron.

And this method of wrought iron is not very difficult. The reason why the blade can be made without lines is because the melting temperature of pig iron is different from that of wrought iron.

It seems that Li Shimin's blacksmiths are all carefully selected old blacksmiths from Jingyang.

Li Zheng asked Li Tai to bring fifty Quyuanli from the army to Jingyang.

When dealing with the snow disaster last year, Li Tai used Quyuanli to remove snow.

Even if he had already created Quyuanli, Li Shimin's popularity rate was not good, it was because of the lack of iron, and Datang was too short of iron.

Three days later, Zhuang Li from the village came to the new land of Jingyang.

The middle-aged adults from more than 2000 villages gather here to prepare for work after the farm tools are distributed.

The old village head is still the leader of the village. Even though the old village evaded several times, Li Zheng still let the old village head speak.

In a certain sense, the old village head is the leader of the village.

Everyone is willing to listen to the old village head's speech.

For Li Zheng, he didn't want to break the original sophistication of the village.

Li Yifu dug up a piece of soil and said, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid these lands are not very good for growing food."

Li Zheng also looked at the ground, "These soils are too dry."

Li Yifu nodded, "Chaozhong is really serious, why is the land given so bad, I'll go to the Ministry of Households to reason."

"No, what's the use of what you said."

Li Zheng looked at the distance from here to the Jingyang River, and said to Li Yifu: "Open a ditch and divert it from the Jingyang River."

Li Yifu looked at the terrain and said: "The terrain here is too high, and the river water is not easy to flow in."

Li Zheng said helplessly: "In my impression, Li Yifu, you should be a very smart person."

Li Yifu bowed his head and said: "I'm stupid, please ask the county marquis for advice."

Li Zheng said to him: "Do you know what I put the waterwheel in the village for?"
