Villager of Daming

Chapter 123 Who is the idiot village (third update)
Zhu Wentian was on a cruise ship, and Zhu Yuanzhang, whom he was thinking of just now, was watching wheat ears and flintlock guns with a group of ministers.

Zhu Yuanzhang can use the power of the palace to deal with other matters. He must talk to the ministers about making firearms and changing grains.

The wheat has just been transferred from various places, including the drought-stricken areas this year. Wells have been dug, and there is not enough manpower, so the production has been reduced.

Changing from the normal three buckets of one stone to one or two buckets of production reduction is already considered the best result.

The wheat yield in Xiaqiu Village is one stone and five buckets per mu. When the boat comes, it will bring a stone, including rapeseed and ramie that have not been harvested.

Comparing the two sides of the ears of wheat, the ears of Xiaqiu Village have larger and more grains of wheat, and anyone who knows about farming knows that the yield of such wheat is high.

"Xiaqiu Village uses salt water to select seeds, then uses lime water to change the cold and hot soaking, and then topdresses, the yield per mu is two buckets more.

In Xiaqiu Village, [-] mu of wheat can be planted, and [-] shi can be planted, and the seeds should be exchanged for the wheat planting land.

In addition, the production of rapeseed and ramie seeds has also increased, and they will be exchanged together. You should take care of these matters. "

The ears of wheat in Zhu Yuanzhang's hands are heavy, but his mood is light.

He likes to increase food production. Of course, it is estimated that many people like it.

Li Tinggui, the servant of the household department, weighed the ears of wheat in the two places: "It is true that there are many and big seeds. They are good seeds and should be exchanged."

Jiang Side, Minister of the Household Department, showed joy on his face: "I will handle the matter of changing species well."

Zuo Cheng Hu Weiyong said at this time: "Long live, where is Xiaqiu Village? How can one village cultivate [-] mu of wheat?"

What he meant was impossible, absolutely impossible, Your Majesty, you have been deceived, how many people are there in a village?How to plant [-] mu of land?
He just became Zuo Cheng this year. Before that, he was the governor of Zhongshu Province. Liu Ji, that is, Liu Bowen, went down, and Li Shanchang also ran away.

You Cheng Wang Guangyang listed: "Xiaqiu Village should be replanted and reserved for the remaining 21 villages in Xuancheng County. Xiaqiu Village has a large number of large livestock, with more than [-] cattle, horses, mules and donkeys.

When farming, they borrowed from other villages, and the other villages sent manpower to help Xiaqiu Village cultivate and harvest, and got along very closely.

This year, the remaining 21 villages want to learn from Xiaqiu Village to reclaim wasteland and plant winter wheat in order to increase their income in the coming year. "

Wang Guangyang and Zhu Yuanzhang said that they were actually telling Hu Weiyong why Xiaqiu Village could grow [-] mu of wheat.

The total number of large animals in the family exceeds [-], and other people went to help, and the wheat planting happened to be at the end of the busy farming season.

"Chaozong, where did they get the big animals?" Hu Weiyong also said that Chaozong was Wang Guangyang's name.

Zhu Yuanzhang raised his brows: "Rock sugar, soap, glass, new accounting methods, veterinary treatment, hundreds of new prescriptions obtained from imperial hospitals, the method of silage, the land of alkali mines, the drought, the roast duck we eat, smoked Chickens, etc., all come from Xiaqiu Village.”

Now that the plant has started to be changed and firearms have to be manufactured, everyone must know about Xiaqiu Village, so they should tell them all.

Do you understand this time?People can make money by making rock sugar and soap. Where are the big animals?I bought it!Can they still transform?
He hasn't talked about the Daming Navy yet, for fear that the courtiers will think that someone is seizing power, and the Navy must be built to earn food and money.

The ministers of the Manchu Dynasty swallowed together when they heard what His Majesty said, and were frightened. What happened to the village?

"Wan, long live, how is it possible!" An Ran, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, asked what everyone wanted to ask.

"It's here, why is it impossible? We'll discuss it with the Ministry of Accounts for a change. Let's see what we have now."

Zhu Yuanzhang picked up the flintlock gun on the case, and he kept the gun by his side to let a eunuch with strong learning and hands-on ability practice loading and firing, just like Zhou Zong.

He was holding the gun, and the eunuch was carrying the ammunition box, and they went out of the palace together, followed by the others.

In the open space outside, someone has already set up iron targets, the same as the prince's side, five targets, and four others are using firecrackers for comparison.

The eunuch carrying the ammunition box solemnly took the gun, rolled up his sleeves and fixed it on his forearm.

With an order, the hourglass started timing, and five people immediately loaded the ammunition.

The ministers looked at the speed of the musketeer, and nodded one after another. Yes, he is indeed a good player. What is the other one?

So when the eunuch fired the first shot, their eyes widened instantly, so fast?without fire?

Then the eunuch fired a second shot, and the ministers looked at each other and the hourglass, no problem!

When the eunuch fired the third shot and reloaded the gunpowder, the person using the firecracker finally ignited the powder with a fire pleat, aimed the muzzle at the target, and shot out with a bang.

Immediately, the other three fired one after another, and the eunuch filled the medicine pool, closed the lid, and pulled the trigger.

If it went on like this, the eunuch's seventh shot and the musketeer's fastest second shot sounded at the same time.

"You two stop, you three continue." Zhu Yuanzhang called to stop, and the three of them were about to fire, and the ammunition poured out was troublesome.

Bang, bang, bang, all the muskets and flintlocks were empty, and the gunner stared at the gun in the eunuch's hand.

Liu Zhen, Minister of the Ministry of War, looked at the flintlock gun eagerly: "Your Majesty, what kind of gun is this?"

"Flintlocks, in order to protect Daming's secrets, we gave people three pistols and allowed them to use them to make guns for self-protection.

Who would have thought that they were stupid and could not make fire pleats, so they had to use flint instead to make such a thing called a flintlock.

So people have to study hard and make themselves smarter, otherwise they won’t make anything like it. "

Zhu Yuanzhang looked like he hated iron for being weak, as if he was really criticizing someone.

That's what the prince said, is it annoying?Now tell the ministers, look at the expressions of the ministers, it is enjoyable!
All the ministers nodded, yes, Your Majesty is right.

After a while, Wu Lin, another minister of the Ministry of War, couldn't help it anymore: "Your Majesty, who did you give the pistol to? He...why is he so stupid?"

"Hmm!" Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, "Is there anything that needs to be kept secret? Xiaqiu Village, of course they can make all kinds of things they donated.

If they are not given firearms, how can they protect themselves in case of danger?The imperial army was limited and could not send manpower there.

They built a new house and did not want to leave their homeland, so they had to arrange it this way.

Oh, their new house is two-story, brick-concrete, like the building under construction in the palace, let's try to build the fourth floor first. "

Zhu Yuanzhang expressed his intention that the village should not be moved here, nor should a group of soldiers be sent to guard it.

If you scare people away, how can you compensate us?

Everyone looked at each other, is there a fairy hidden in Xiaqiu Village?It is absolutely impossible for the villagers to have these abilities.

Hu Weiyong rolled his eyes: "Long live, you should invite people out of the mountain!"

"Who please? We still don't know who it is. Could it be that the villagers were arrested and tortured for interrogation?"

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Hu Weiyong, please come and let him be Zuo Cheng, will you do it?You want him to be your subordinate, and you ask him if he will do it?

It's already good like this, whenever the other party wants to open up and is willing to come out, he will definitely give him a good official position.
