Villager of Daming

Chapter 1098: A piece of green thoughts

The family of four listened and watched as Wang Yiqian operated various hooks and straps. Hemp ropes were not provided, but two large tarpaulins were given.

After they knew how to use the things, the team was ready to leave. The family of four watched the team walking downstream. When they couldn't see it, they turned back and continued to circle around the car.

The team was moving forward, and not long after, symmetrical green low walls appeared in front of both sides of the withered yellow road. The contrast with the withered yellow road made it look so obvious.

The breeze blows, and sure enough there is a refreshing smell of perilla.

"Erli Perilla is really beautiful, and there are so many of them."

After seeing the perillas on both sides of the road, Zhu Rui realized that he had been wrong. He originally thought there was only one row, but it turned out that there were six rows of perillas, with eight rows of perillas on each side.

"Based on the length of two miles, there are seven to eight acres of perilla! The yield of unfertilized perilla is fifty or sixty kilograms.

With the addition of perilla leaves and stems, you can make a lot of money by selling perilla, and no one passing by picks it to sell.

It just so happened that they had a wheelbarrow, which made it easier to transport them back and forth. The fried food with perilla seeds was delicious. "

Zhu Xi calculated the yield and found that if he grew it normally and sold it, he would make a lot of money.

There are fewer leaves on the roadside side of perilla, which is easy for everyone to pick. At the same time, there is a lot of ash on the leaves, so it is impossible to eat them directly. If you blow it and pat it, most people can accept it.

"It's not easy to collect the seeds. There are birds. When they are about to mature, the birds will come down to eat them."

When a perilla plant grew there, he looked at it and nodded, agreeing with Zhu Chong's estimated yield.

Unlike the perilla specially grown in the village, one acre can produce three hundred kilograms of seeds. It is planted densely and fertilized well.

"Water! Spread out. You won't be able to pump water up. A large section of the river bed is exposed, and the lift of the water pump is insufficient."

Zhu Di looked at the location of the river. It was too far and the water level dropped.

The guards lined up and began to pass the metal buckets one after another. They did not pick them or carry them back and forth.

The two rows are responsible for watering a certain distance. The buckets filled with water are passed over and returned from the other row after watering.

When this row gets tired, we move to the other side and the people there start carrying water.

The people passing by stood still and looked strange, mainly because the guards' work had a strong rhythm and a special beauty.

A total of eight groups of guards were divided. One group was responsible for a distance of a quarter of a mile, moving slowly while watering.

Sure enough, in less than ten minutes, the perilla trees on both sides of the road in Erlidi were watered very neatly.

"Hua, hua, hua..." The princes clapped their hands, the officials followed suit, and the people watching also followed suit.

This thing is like a man watching the construction of an excavator. If there is nothing to do, he can watch it all day.

"Let's help collect some of the leaves! After harvesting, it's up to that family. In more than a month, they will collect the seeds and stems and sell them to department stores.

The department store keeps good accounts, distributes part to the local Huimin Pharmacy and Herbal Medicine Library, and transfers part to other places.

It would take several days to expect someone from his family to collect it. No wonder they let others grab it, as long as they didn't damage it intentionally. "

Ling'er suggested that since they were free anyway, they could just set up camp outside today. There was no need to build a stronghold as no enemy could get here.

If the enemy really came over, there would be no need to use the stronghold. They would just set up guns and attack them at close range. They were afraid that the enemy would run away with heavy losses and would be troublesome to chase.

Her words were equivalent to orders. She took the lead in picking the leaves, selecting intact ones, big ones, small tender ones, and damaged ones to use as medicinal materials. The quality must be good.

The officials knew they couldn't be lazy, and the princes all took advantage. "In fact, to use it as medicinal materials, you need to collect it frequently instead of picking a lot at once. Perilla is enough, and the village has a special medicinal material planting base.

There are some locally, so I just picked them locally. I washed them first and picked the big ones. I got the ones that are larger than this, about ten centimeters, which is enough.

There are many wild medicinal materials and it is dangerous to pick them. As long as the medicinal effects are about the same, just plant them if you can.

If the people themselves are not willing to plant, for example, perennial crops, then the government will organize manual planting.

With the current technology of the village, it is still unable to produce many special medicines, so normal herbal medicines, mineral medicines, animal medicines, etc. are used to treat the diseases of the people of the Ming Dynasty. "

Ling'er was talking while working, telling Xie Qiaoer and Xu Yihua to listen. In fact, the officials nearby knew that they were meant to listen to her. Otherwise, why would you be so loud?

Now that the officials know that the girl is the one who can make the most decisions in the entire team, the head of Xiaqiu Village doesn't speak much anymore.

Is it possible that this girl is a direct disciple trained by the master? There are obviously older people in Xiaqiu Village, twenty of them! But she was in charge.

There are more people to work faster, and the perilla seedlings are not stripped bare, but only the big leaves are picked, otherwise the seeds will not be harvested, and the crops will be given to others directly.

In less than two-quarters of an hour, all the leaves that could be picked were collected, and everyone went to the camp in front, where they chose an open place to set up tents.

Perilla leaves need to be washed first and then dried. When they are almost dry, they are stacked one leaf on top of another and then dried. This makes transportation and storage easier.

When you get it to the pharmacy, it needs to be rehydrated, then cut into strips, dried, and easy to grasp the medicine. Otherwise, how to deal with the large leaves?

Such as ginseng, platycodon, and licorice, sliced ​​into slices. Good ginseng is usually cut freshly or steamed to make red ginseng.

The people who were watching the excitement also helped and handed over the perilla leaves they picked. They knew what kind of team this was.

Already helping them transport wheat and flour, the flag is carried, and the flag can be hoisted with iron wire when there is no wind.

Tell them in advance that as usual, there is no need to kneel down. I think His Highness is good and keep it in mind. Your Highness will actively cooperate when doing things.

The people who helped got the mung bean water, and there was no one who didn't help. The people next to them went to work, and they stood still. Are they scared?
The team began to buy the outer layers of ground flour, including wheat bran, from the people. They paid a high price to help the people.

"What are you doing with so much bad flour?" Fang Dachuan asked his cousin in a low voice.

Ling'er's ears were pointed and she turned her head: "Wheat bran is made into puffed pellets to feed livestock. After the flour is moistened, it is mixed with sorghum rice to make popcorn sticks for children to eat.

Normally those flours don’t taste good no matter how you make them, even if you bake bread after fermentation.

Only puffed into popcorn sticks, this one tastes sweet and is not wasted. It can be eaten by adults and children. "

"We know! Can you give that stick-making thing to our village? Our village will make it and sell it in the future."

Fang Dachuan climbed up the ladder, asking for things without shame, and if he gave them, he would make money, and if he didn't, his life would not be in danger.

"I'll give you two in the village. If one is broken, take it to Prince Yan's Mansion in Beiping Mansion. Someone there will find a way to replace or repair it.

But when you sell this, you need to pay tax, 10% tax, and the price must not be too high, and the profit should be controlled at 30%.

It will make you think it is too easy to make a fortune by relying on this machine. In fact, 30% of you can already make a fortune. "

Ling'er agreed. She wanted to see what kind of changes a piece of equipment could bring to a village.

Including human nature, not all people who suddenly become rich can keep their wealth, and some people may lose themselves.

　There is no wood today. The farmer should be on the plane at this time.
