Villager of Daming

Chapter 1080 Grassland Trial River Confluence

The scene was quiet. The officials looked at each other, as if they wanted to determine from the eyes of their colleagues whether rotten eggs can help digestion. I have never tried this!
"For those with poor gastrointestinal tract, sometimes we give them dairy products. Fermented cheese contains bacteria that are beneficial to people. They are called probiotics.

In fact, you can grow soybeans in the grassland. After planting the soybeans, you can harvest the beans and then make fermented bean curd and stinky tofu.

Either grow mung beans, ferment the mung beans into bean juice, and drink the bean juice, but the taste is not very good, not as good as soy milk. "

The head of the village understood it at this time and explained it to everyone.

"Do we need to be prepared here? What if they finish eating the salted duck eggs sent by the merchant team and come back to purchase, leaving some specially for them?"

Zhu Di is very willing to help the people there in the grassland, which now belongs to the Ming Dynasty.

The area south of the earthen fortress built along the Helin Line and the beacon tower is considered a safe zone, where nomadic people can graze with confidence.

When winter comes, go to the bunker and store enough grass in advance. The bunker will help you make silage.

Affected by mobility issues, local herders do not know how to farm. If they do, they plant highland barley, which has a very short growth cycle.

Then they probably don’t have any more space to raise ducks, which requires water and is troublesome to manage.

"Have you sent the telegraph machine? Why don't you send a telegram to see if they want salted rotten eggs? We specialize in making them. Songhua eggs are also good. Songhua eggs have a long shelf life."

There is no need to have a big river to raise ducks. Just dig a pond and throw the ducks in it.

"Let's talk while walking." Seeing everyone stop, Ling'er felt uncomfortable digging the hole, so she pulled Xu Yihua forward and moved forward.

Some ducks in Xiaqiu Village are raised in this way to see new varieties.

"Can't they raise them by themselves? It's not that there is no water there. The place was specially selected when the earthen fort was built. Wild ducks that can fly are willing to stay there in the summer."

Zhu Fan found that if he sent duck eggs to the grassland, his Taiyuan Prefecture would be closer, and the Datong Prefecture above would have direct jurisdiction.

Zhu Di went a step further. He was not worried about suffering losses. The three brothers' fiefdoms were on the front line and they were originally designed to deal with Bei Yuan.

You can post people to guard the area around the earthen fort, and shoot when wild animals come to harm the crops. You will also get an extra piece of meat to eat. You can also shoot at night, use a flashlight to shine, and the court will provide batteries.

Behind some earthen forts and beacon towers, a small circle of crops can be planted around the beacon tower. A fence is required, preferably an earthen wall, slightly higher.

As a result, the people there never left any eggs, and even sent some extra large goose eggs when they sent duck eggs.

Anyway, I have to go back. I will go back before the Chinese New Year. I am still young and have to continue studying.

Bei Yuan was beaten away, so three people had to take care of the northern area.

Soybeans are useless and cannot be eaten as a staple food. Then there are birds and herbivorous animals, including wild boars, that will compete with people for food, even if they did not grow it.

It is better to provide things to the grassland from the fiefdom than to transport them from Yingtian Mansion. The accounts should be clear and reported back to the father.

Some ducks were put into Shijiu Lake and asked the locals to help take a look. After collecting the duck eggs, half of them were left for the locals.

As she walked, she said: "There are many wild ducks. God knows which one is sick, and then the infection spreads to a large area. We raise ducks there, and it is difficult to take care of them when they are densely packed."

Spreading out requires more manpower. With those manpower available, wouldn't it be better for us to raise more livestock?
This includes raising pigs, but there is no shortage of pig grass, and special areas are chosen to grow highland barley to feed the livestock.

As for duck...well...there must be economic benefits first. Duck can be made into hand-shredded and air-dried meat. Choose two bunkers and try them out! If it works, we don't need to prepare things for there, and the local area can even deliver goods here. "

Ling'er didn't object in the end, and tried it out whether it worked or not. It didn't take much effort, and the hand-shredded air-dried duck meat was like beef jerky. Xiaqiu Village made it.

"Send a telegram and ask, and send it over if necessary."

Zhu Ping decided that everyone should work together for the Ming Dynasty.

"Is such a big thing confirmed?" Fang Dachuan, the head of Xiashan Village, whispered to his cousin.

"Haven't you seen it yet? Many things in the Ming Dynasty are decided by Xiaqiu Village."

Fang Dashan was not surprised at all. The prince and the people in Xiaqiu Village thought about it and got it done. Anyway, there was no loss if they made a mistake.

"If they raise ducks there, can businessmen still come to your Fangshan County to buy salted duck eggs if they have ducks?" Fang Dachuan looked anxious.

"Fangshan County is the Fangshan County of the imperial court, not my Fangshan County of Fangdashan. The people just don't want to eat it. It's not like no one eats the duck eggs if they are broken.

There is also a big goose! There are just as many goose eggs, and the people will sell them all. Who is willing to eat the big goose eggs that were finally laid?
To put it bluntly, it is a matter of poverty. As long as the common people make a lot of money, why should they suffer themselves? Alas! "

Fang Dashan said that his eyes were red and he was infected. As soon as the princes arrived, they kept thinking about how to feed the people.

When eating, we try our best not to waste. There are many dishes, but everyone puts less on their plate.

There are leftovers from the roast duck we just had today. We have to eat it tonight. Whoever has it belongs to whom.

When eating salted duck eggs, look for double yolks. If you’re afraid you won’t be able to finish them, cut them open and share one egg between two people.

There were some barbecued meat skewers left, and the palace maids and eunuchs ate them up.

Therefore, you have to work hard to see where there are any problems. For example, storing ice is obviously not suitable. Your Highnesses will help to deal with it this year, but next year... it will have to be stored.

Fang Dashan thought and suddenly realized that the economy of Beiping Prefecture will be better next year. His Highness's team is not here in vain. I don't know how many good ideas he gave to the officials in the prefecture.

In that case, more ice should be needed next year, even if the ice cubes are wrapped in quilts and hauled overland to Fucheng on livestock carts!
After thinking about it, Fang Dashan couldn't help but ask: "Your Highness, do you still need to leave ice this winter?"

"Wouldn't the construction of the ice cellar be in vain if I didn't keep you? It cost one hundred guan last year, and the rest was all for people's labor, right?

This year, if we still spend a hundred guan, the people will be much more relaxed. The ice cellar from last year is still there and there is no need to continue digging.

How about you find a place in the open air and fish up more ice cubes? If the river freezes in winter, we can transport them from the river to Yingtianfu.

This ice! Sell ​​it to Ningguo Mansion and Taiping Mansion. The people there are rich and the ice road and waterway connect.

Do you know what is the biggest advantage of Fangshan County? Say it! well! The river, the Liuli River flows into the sea.

After the autumn rains, I will give you a small steam engine river boat. No matter what is available here, as long as the price is right, it can be sold. "

As Zhu Di talked, a map appeared in his mind. Fangshan County did not need assistance from other places and could use river transportation to go to sea alone.

So is it possible to transport salt for a penny per pound? What can you do with local salt?
