Villager of Daming

Chapter 1278 The Real Object Is More and More Convincing

"No, no one died, not even one missing an arm or a leg, no one lost a finger, only scratches and then stitched up. All the paintings in the village are here, nothing is missing, it really is there!"

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard the words of the head of the village, he was stunned at first, and then he explained the situation, saying that there were no deaths, no serious injuries, and no one had lost a finger.

The things were brought back, all that was taken from the village, nothing was missing, except crops. Animals were not wanted, as it was inconvenient to bring living ones, and dead ones would easily rot and spread diseases.

The palace maids, eunuchs, and guards nearby looked at the head of the village with moved eyes. The head of the village was indeed the head of the village, just like the factory managed by Xiaqiao Village.

No matter what kind of accident happens in the factory, the first thing the people in Xiaqiu Village will ask is how the employees are. As long as there are no injuries, other issues are not a problem.

With such a big event and so many crops, the village head was still thinking about the people who had left first.

"This is corn! Your Majesty, this is the first time we've seen the real thing. It looks the same as the one in the picture. It's a little bigger now. Is it the same when it was small as in the picture? It's already one month old?"

The head of the village heaved a sigh of relief. It would be best if no one died. In fact, he could accept someone with missing arms and legs. He would just keep them alive! He would give them high bonuses every month.

There are rows of corn planted in front of me. They are two feet long, but there is no sign of them emerging.

The picture drawn by Hanhan is divided into stages, starting from seed germination to seed maturity, a complete cycle.

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said: "Twenty-seven days, bring them back and plant them according to the method left by the village. Plant all the crops, keep 90% of the seeds, and only plant 10%.

They brought back a lot, and Yicheng also planted a lot of land, just waiting to see the yield, as it was all good soil.

Look, we are not in a hurry to eat today, so you can have some fun.

If we can have the production that we say, why would we in the Ming Dynasty worry about the people not having enough food to eat? Who would rebel?

Go to the front, where potatoes are planted and sweet potatoes have been successfully germinated and planted, waiting to be transplanted after the seedlings emerge.

It seems that sweet potatoes are better. Sweet potatoes can be used for cuttings. One sweet potato can produce many plants..."

Zhu Yuanzhang walked and talked, gesticulating with joy, very excited, because it involved food.

A book about Xiaqiu Village says that it is best to plant corn after harvesting winter wheat, which is better than planting sorghum and soybeans. Sometimes frost falls before sorghum and soybeans have time to mature.

And the per-acre yield of potatoes and sweet potatoes is so scary!
The pumpkin is so big, and most importantly, it has a long shelf life and will not go bad for several months. You can make one whenever the whole family wants to eat it and they will all be full.

There are also fruits. I brought back seedlings and seeds. The cactus is a medicine, right? It can grow in the desert. It's amazing!

Cactus contains a lot of water. When a camel caravan encounters it, it can replenish more water. People can also eat it, but they need to remove the thorns. But camels...if someone cuts off the thorns, they will be happier eating it.

"It's best to make sweet potatoes into sweet potato flour. It has a long shelf life and doesn't make your stomach uncomfortable. Roasted sweet potatoes are delicious in winter. Sweet potatoes can also be made into preserved fruits. It's written in the booklet, but I haven't eaten them. And potatoes..."

The head of the village then said that he believed that the information provided by Hanhan could not be wrong. There were pictures and the truth. Look at what Hanhan drew and verify them one by one. They were all correct!
"Yes, yes!" Zhu Yuanzhang finally found someone who could share his joy with him, and the key was that the other person believed him.

"It is said that potatoes can be stored for a long time in the north during the winter. When they turn green, they contain alkali, which can cause poisoning if eaten. Acid is used to neutralize the alkali.

It's just like how people in Taiyuan Prefecture love to eat vinegar because the water there is highly alkaline, unlike here, where the village always finds weak alkaline water for us to drink.

Before I saw the food, the dishes were already prepared, including shredded potatoes with vinegar. This is specially made for sprouted potatoes. A large piece of the sprout is cut out, and the rest is cooked with vinegar.

If the yield is high, it will be made into potato flour. It is said that sweet potato flour is black, and potato flour is whiter than sweet potato flour. Potatoes can be used as staple food, and sweet potatoes as staple food... the stomach digestion function cannot keep up..." Zhu Yuanzhang also talked by looking at the pictures. Anyway, there is no problem now. None of the pictures in the booklet are wrong. This expert... uh...

“Hehehehe… Hehehehe…”

Zhu Wentian followed him and wanted to laugh out loud, but he found that if he didn't make the sound intentionally, he would just laugh as soon as he opened his mouth, which was quite depressing.

The palace maids, eunuchs, and guards would exclaim from time to time. They were filled with a sense of happiness. The Ming Dynasty had a master guarding it, and they knew everything about things thousands of miles away.

In the future, no one will go hungry, there will be no rebellion, life will be stable, everyone will have plenty of money and enjoy life.

They were really happy. Xiaqiucun said that when they were old enough to leave the palace, they would arrange a place for themselves in Yingtian Prefecture.

Just live a normal life. If you encounter any problems and it is difficult to find help in the palace, go to Xiaqiu Village and they will help you.

Generally, it is not necessary. When you leave the palace, Xiaqiu Village will directly arrange work for you. If you have any issues, just raise them at the workplace. There is no need to look for a separate village.

Eunuchs would look for widows whose husbands had died in the war, with boys, and they could freely match palace maids and guards.

You can find one outside if you want, but I don't think they will agree to that because of their different education levels. Palace maids are released before they are 30 years old, according to Xiaqiu Village.

Some eunuchs even set their sights on the palace maids and guards. They would negotiate in advance and ask them to give birth to more children so that they could adopt one. Then they could just find a woman at random. Since they had money, they could even find a girl from a brothel and redeem her.

“Yichang! We didn’t bring any animals or insects with us this time. The crops we brought back were carefully checked and the boats were disinfected.

The experts said it! Some things are not good to come here, we have to control them, but we took pictures, a lot of pictures.

We see, how much does a python eat in one meal?
One person is not enough for it to eat, what will it do if it brings it back to eat the common people?
They do have rubber, as toys, and brought rubber tree seedlings and seeds, but they haven't been planted yet.

The expert said that it should be planted in Yunnan, Guangzhou and Qiongzhou. We need to ask clearly.

In front is a greenhouse where tomatoes and kidney beans are grown. Like cowpeas, kidney beans need to be grown on a trellis..."

Zhu Yuanzhang began to communicate with the experts through the village head and asked, "I've told you how to arrange it."

The village head understood, he didn't worry, he just followed along! He didn't even need to remember what Zhu Yuanzhang said.

He suddenly remembered something: "Your Majesty, where are the people over there?"

"There are photos, don't worry, we can look at them tomorrow. Let's eat first. They look pretty much the same as us.

Compared to the barbarians in many other places, the people there are more like us. What's going on?

There is no difference between the painting on the picture and the one in the photo. Our people took the text translated from the booklet given by the expert and they actually recognized it.

This expert...oh...okay!
It is our blessing. From ancient times to the present, there are many great masters, such as Jiang Ziya, Fan Li, Guiguzi, etc. No, there is too much difference, too many!"

As Zhu Yuanzhang was talking, he thought of the master again. Looking back at the past dynasties, there were powerful people. But there was no master like the one in Xiaqiu Village!

It's so strong that it's unreasonable. The most terrifying thing is that he can hide. Xiaqiu Village is right in front of you, but you just can't find the master.
