Villager of Daming

Chapter 149 Village Trivia Dragon Boat Festival Welcome (Fourth)
The boats of the Xiaqiu Village team first traveled along the Qinhuai River to the Yangtze River, and then went upstream.

There are still three ships, transporting iron, saltpeter, sulfur, and lead, but no charcoal, the village can do it by itself.

This time Zhou Zong stayed in the Prince's Mansion with only twenty guards plus Zhu Taiyi.

The head of the village didn't want to be with outsiders, which would delay his chatting with Hanhan. With other people around, Hanhan could only pretend to be a fool.

I don't know what to do in the future. Anyway, a 16-year-old expert can't show it, and he can't learn these skills when he starts to learn from his mother's womb.

Zhu Wentian sat in a daze on the boat, actually sorting out knowledge.

When writing the letter, he considered that there is no winter wheat in Shandong, but spring wheat, and the imperial court insisted on raising silkworms, so it should be in August and September, which is July in the lunar calendar this year.

Theoretically, rice and wheat can be planted together in Shandong, but Shandong is unwilling to grow rice. If there is corn, it will be easy to do, and it will cooperate with wheat.

In addition, soil methods can be used to kill insects. It is believed that boiled millet is used as poison bait, and mixed with wheat seeds after oil adjustment, which can trap and kill underground pests.

Then there is fertilizer, which also has a soil method: on the spring equinox, rake the wheat twice, and sprinkle a bucket of salt per mu, and the wheat will prosper.Or after raking, it is also good to sprinkle salt until the Ching Ming Festival.

However, salting is generally not applicable. It has been around for a long time. People in the Western Han Dynasty came up with it, and it took too much salt.

Daming needs cheap and effective chemical fertilizers and pesticides, which is quite worrying.

Even if it is made, the situation in each region is different. People don't know how to use it. If they use it hard, it will exceed the standard, and then they will kill frogs, fish and so on.

The key soil will also get worse and worse, it is better to reclaim more land, the current population of Daming is small.

Yes, fight to the north, such a vast grassland, the war will not stop there in Beiyuan.

While Zhu Wentian was thinking about the follow-up matters, he occasionally heyed a few times.

Mrs. Zhu frowned while chatting. When it was done, halfway through the journey, everyone was going to have lunch. He couldn't help it: "Zhu Lichang, are you really good at medicine?"

"How could I? It was Hanhan who got the pulse." The chief shook his head and glanced at Hanhan.

"Yes, Hanhan, I, um! Hehehehe!" Zhu Wentian cooperated.

"Master Zhu, don't be joking." Zhu Taiyi smiled wryly.

"There are people in the village who have this symptom, and then I will recite the prescription. Generally speaking, the medicine will not kill people."

The head of the village reluctantly admitted that it was not Hanhan, but that he recited it himself, and it had nothing to do with feeling the pulse.

"Dinner, steamed stuffed bun, it's still hot. The stuffed steamed stuffed stuffed stuffed stuffed stuffed stuffed stuffed stuffed stuffed bun with extra salt, not dipped in soy sauce."

The Li Chang's wife greeted the people on the boat to eat, and the child first fed the steamed buns to the working boatmen, and then drank the soup in the water bag after eating the steamed stuffed buns.

It's really not cold, it's good if it's not broken, it's hot, so there's no cooking and rice, steamed buns are put into a basket covered with quilts and covered.

Minimize contact with the air as much as possible, the heat of the day is different from the heat of the steamed stuffed bun itself.

The boatmen said they were full, and the children would eat by themselves.

When the boat arrives in Wuhu, it is almost home. It enters from Wuhu, and then goes to Huangchi River, Huangchi in Huangchi Town.

At dusk, when the sky was not cool at all, the three boats arrived at the village pier.

"Li Chang and Hanhan are back!" Someone shouted.

The villagers rushed up, with happy smiles on their faces, and hurriedly helped build the springboard. 32 people got off the boat one after another, and the villagers went up to carry things.

"Liang, Lichang, look over there, there are three archways on the road, loyalty, benevolence and righteousness, and kindness."

A villager was very excited as he pointed to the road at the entrance of the village for the head of the village to look at.

The head of the village saw it just now, and was really happy. At the same time, he also thought about why he was kept until now.

"Okay! That's great!" the chief shouted loudly, and the village now had confidence.

The archway has a hidden advantage. People from Xiaqiu Village fought with people from Xihe Village. Both sides said that the other party was wrong.

As for the other aspects...it's nothing, but the village head can cry to his heart's content when worshiping the ancestors.

Like what he didn't manage the village well, only got three archways, ashamed of his ancestors or something.

The villagers who came back later all ran to the archway to have a look. Three archways are three entrances.

The village elders were so excited that they shed tears, and the children ran around the archway.

"Dinning, change your clothes first, it's still comfortable to go back to the village." The head of the village felt roots under his feet.

Dinner is being prepared, there are more than 50 people, and the number of meals continues to increase.

The head of the village poured wine for the guards and Zhu Taiyi. The iced rice wine was brewed by the village itself, so it should be called sake.

There are many impurities in rice wine, and some people even put lime in it, so it is turbid wine.

If you want sake, filter it, and keep filtering it until it is clear.

The eldest son of the chief is sitting at the main table today, and he reports on what happened after the chief left.

"People from the imperial court came and took away most of the grain in the village to use as seeds, and then sent over the same weight of grain.

The 21 villages have harvested all the rapeseed and ramie, planted the rice seedlings grown from the seeds of the villages, lent out the large animals and returned them.

We also left wheat seeds and soybean seeds for them. Some of them said that our village should raise silkworms, how can mulberry trees be planted well and produce more leaves.

It means that we will provide them with grafting after planting mulberry trees. I didn’t say whether to agree or not. Our village does not raise silkworms..."

He talked about stopping to eat food and drink wine, but neither was delayed.

It is said that officials from Ningguo Mansion and Xuancheng County have come to see the memorial archway in the village, and it will be included in the county annals.

Afterwards, I asked someone to send a letter back, and other villages started to make dried vegetables, and a batch has already been sent, and there is no shortage of vegetables in winter.

A few days later, Wang Laoji and his father Wang Yiqian will still bring people to work, and their family's land has also been planted.

The village has reserved land for planting greenhouses, a total of ten acres, and it is now being fertilized!
The glass was blown every day, and the fire never stopped. Part of it was used as a mirror, and part of it was used to install the windows of the greenhouse.

The twelve villagers who made the flintlock guns knocked day and night, eating and sleeping in rotation, and now there is movement.

Four gun barrels have been built. At this rate, forty flintlock guns will be produced by the end of the year. I am tired. I have selected eight more people to follow. After learning, they will be able to rotate more.

There are two sheep in the village that have given birth, and other cows that have given birth, and the people in the village drink milk every morning.

21 villages harvested rapeseed and ramie, sold them and raised money to buy a lot of livestock, and sent people to the villages to learn...

The eldest son of the village head told each story that Xiaqiu Village is indeed very busy. If there is no one in command, everyone will run around like headless chickens.

After dinner, Zhu Wentian took a bath and went to sleep in the sacrificial hall, which was cooler.

A few days passed, and it was the fifth day of May. Today is the Dragon Boat Festival. Last year, we did not have a good time. This year, everyone has already prepared.

The head of the village was thinking about the words, which he would use when worshiping the ancestors.

　Happy Dragon Boat Festival everyone
