Villager of Daming

Chapter 128 The village has hope and strategy (third update)
"Returning to Your Majesty, this year the rice village tried planting japonica rice, which was harvested later than indica rice. Jute interplanting is also like indica rice, and hemp seedlings will be transplanted when the rice is tillering.

In this way, the yield of rice can be increased without hindering the growth of rice, which is suitable for both.

Last year's autumn harvest, the yield of indica rice was [-]% higher than usual.One is to use fertilizer accurately, and the other is to benefit from interplanting.

Only indica rice has increased, and there is more jute, and the village is too busy to rub hemp rope and weave sacks. "

According to Hanhan's teaching, the head of the village only answers one question when asked by others, and the high-ranking people like to listen to the content of increasing income.

"Hehehe!" Zhu Yuanzhang laughed. There was so much jute that it turned into a sack.

"Okay, it's good to collect more. This year, we sent wheat ears. We only know that the wheat harvests two buckets more, and we never thought it would be worse than indica rice. Drink!"

Zhu Yuanzhang was really willing to listen to this kind of thing. He knew that in general, ramie was planted in the field dedicated to hemp, and jute was planted next to it.

Ramie is used to make clothes, jute is not acceptable, only sacks can be woven.

The order issued by the imperial court included mulberry trees, silkworm rearing, and no additional silk and hemp planting. Xiaqiu Village would not raise silkworms, and would not perform hard labor.

After interplanting, the vacant hemp fields were changed into cotton fields, and the production and income of cotton increased as well.

The chief then drank a glass of wine, waiting for His Majesty to continue asking.

Zhu Yuanzhang turned to ask a village elder: "Does the village elder work on weekdays?"

Zhu Wentian whispered the word 'eat' next to the chief.

The head of the village realized that His Majesty gave himself time to eat and eat two bites of food quickly.

The village elder who was asked just swallowed the soup, and smiled instantly: "So that His Majesty will know that we are old enough to help rub the rope.

Either wander around the village to look at the land, livestock, and poultry everywhere, looking for light things to do.

If you don't do any work, your body will feel uncomfortable, and you will work hard for a lifetime, and you will not be able to relax. "

"It's such a reason!" Zhu Yuanzhang agreed, and looked at another village elder: "How are the cattle in our Xiaqiu Village growing?"

He doesn't eat much himself, and he doesn't come here specifically to eat.

"Cows?" The village elder thought for a while before replying: "There are 210 cows in the village, eleven of them have calves. They don't get serious illnesses, and if they have minor ailments, they can be cured easily.

Cattle are cud-chewing, oh, cud-chewing animals. The first stomach is the rumen, which is very important, and many diseases come from it.

The reason is that the eaten food should be kept in it, and then chewed again, and the silage is fed to the cattle, so the rumen is protected.

There is also a net stomach, which stops the soil and stones brought in by cattle grazing.

If you eat too many stones and cannot get them out, you will easily get sick. Usually, you will roll them out when you eat grass.

Knowing this, we will understand how to feed the grass, like getting up in the morning..."

The village elder explained how to raise cattle. He usually does not work much, so he just studies. Now he is happy to talk.

Zhu Yuanzhang seemed to have found a confidant, and he echoed there from time to time, yes, that's right, isn't it!Mmmmmmm!Diarrhea is troublesome, we are, the cows are taken out to graze, and they have to be mowed to dry, and they can’t always eat green ones, they have been beaten...

He was born as a cowherd boy and has rich experience in raising cattle. He must have been beaten out, so pitiful.

After exchanging ideas about raising cattle, Zhu Yuanzhang finally found that the other party hadn't eaten for a while, so he hurriedly asked the village elders to pour rice wine, and he himself took the opportunity to eat two bites of vegetables.

After taking a break, he continued to chat with other village elders about raising livestock and poultry, talking about everything, and he had the urge to appoint officials to the village elders.

As for these village elders, they are placed in the counties below to manage livestock and poultry breeding, and they can manage them very well.

Compared with the Jinshi admitted to the imperial examination, it is reassuring. Many Jinshi don't know how to raise livestock at all.

He suppressed his impulse, and chose Zhu Wentian's friends to ask about their studies. He didn't understand the three hundred thousand, so he picked what he knew.

The children are not afraid either. According to what Brother Hanhan taught, they are very proficient in storytelling.

Zhu Yuanzhang asked them to write again. He said a word, and the children wrote it out. There were good and bad words, but they were all correct.

He drank a glass of wine, laughed heartily, happy!All the children in Xiaqiu Village are studying, except Hanhan, who is very strong.

The only thing he didn't talk to was the village chief's wife, who was not an old woman, not a village elder, but a woman.

Normally, the women in the palace should be entertained by the women in the palace. Today is a special situation, so he will not talk to the other party.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the children, his eyes were full of hope. These children farmed the land, raised livestock and poultry, fired kilns, made steel, and made colored glaze...

As long as I live in the village, I keep learning. When I ask the children, I find it interesting to listen to the little stories told by the children.

With this kind of training, in a few years, I will be able to take the imperial examination. Now the imperial examination is too bad, and I can't do anything.

Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang's heart moved, he looked at Li Chang and smiled: "Yi Chang, do you know about the imperial court sending troops to Sichuan?"

For a moment, the village chief wanted to turn his head to look at Hanhan, but he didn't know that he wanted to ask Hanhan, but he was surprised.

When the village knew it was coming, Hanhan kept teaching things, including the war to pacify Sichuan.

He thought for a while, stood up and bowed, and sat down again: "Ask your Majesty, Qutang is easy to defend and difficult to attack. The enemy Mo Renshou is proficient in water warfare and familiar with the local conditions. Zou Xing, Dai Shou, and Wu Youren have their own strengths.

Especially Wu Youren, he is good at fighting the battle of the main waterways, and once guarded Baoning so that the important places are worry-free.

Our army's Jingzhou and Xiangzhou boat divisions and Jingwei's strong attack on Qutang Gorge will inevitably be blocked, and the opponent will definitely use iron ropes to cross the river.

Our boat division fights against the current, there are iron chains in front of us, and there are mountains and dense forests on the shore. The enemy can send boats to meet them. My Jingwei can't get support from my boat division on the road, so we can't take that position.

Therefore, the army on the South Road was blocked and the water battle was unfavorable, so they had to retreat back to the state to wait for the opportunity, and at the same time contain the enemy's garrison forces.

However, the North Route Army is easy to fight, and it only needs to wait for the North Route to break through. The army led by Fu Youde is infantry, and the soldiers from Henan and Shaanxi can fight on the road to cross the river.

As long as they break through again and again, they will throw thousands of wooden cards and tell Tanghe downstream.

At the same time, the enemy troops guarding Qutang Gorge also got wooden cards, and returned to help in a hurry. The army from the South Route will attack Qutang again, and they will be able to break through. "

The village chief wiped off his sweat after speaking, and was a little annoyed. Hanhan said it in more detail than this, including many names, which he didn't remember.

Zhu Yuanzhang: "..."

He stared at Li Chang, his forehead was sweating, it was hot!

As soon as the news came back, it came along the Yangtze River. Tang He encountered the method of crossing the river with iron ropes adopted by the opponent in Qutang Gorge.

However, the North Route Army traveled by land, and no news has come back by this time.

The army of the South Road went to Jingwei on the Yangtze River to send out some people, and Jingzhou and Xiangzhou sent out boat divisions to fight upstream along the Yangtze River.

The other troops set off from Henan and Shaanxi. The soldiers in these two places are not good at water warfare, and they don't have such good ships and training.

However, there is the Yellow River in both places, and the battle across the river is really skillful.

Can Beilu really win?Then South Road follow up?

Zhu Yuanzhang also wiped off his sweat: "You...are..."
