Villager of Daming

Chapter 153 Jiangshan and Jiangshan have their own beliefs (third update)
"Let's put the river lanterns on!" With the cheers of the children, everyone came to the river.

The children took the lanterns prepared in advance and lit them one by one. The lanterns were made of dyed paper in the shape of lotus flowers, with a piece of candle in the middle and bamboo boards underneath.

The moon is basically invisible in the night sky on the fifth day of the lunar new year, so the stars become brighter and brighter, and the lanterns float in the river, as if reflecting each other with the stars.

540 six lotus lanterns entered the water, scattered and aggregated and drifted to the distance with the water.

A lamp represents a person, and the village still has 520 people today, plus 24 people in the Prince's Mansion.

The number of lanterns will be adjusted next year, and nine of the villagers are pregnant.

Ordinary people will take certain contraceptive methods when they see many children. They are afraid that they will not be able to support them, so they usually use the method of getting outside.

Or make cold things into sachets to wear. Since you don't have money, you can't get musk, borneol, etc. with good effects, so it's better to get them outside.

The 522 people in the village came out because of contraceptive failure. Fortunately, the village was already rich when they came out.

Now the villagers don't use contraception anymore, they give birth whenever they can, and ask Hanhan to prescribe medicine for older people.

Everyone is going to work hard to double the population of the village in five years and raise a large group of children.

It's a pity that Hanhan doesn't let people who reach the age of 16 get married and have children now, and the village girl who had agreed to get married before should remarry, regretting the marriage and paying compensation to the man's family.

Don't get married anymore, even if you are 19 years old, you still have to find a son-in-law, but the above-mentioned unmarried young people are engaged and ask the woman's family to hurry up.

If the daughter of the woman's family is only fifteen or sixteen years old, she will marry first and have no children, so she can be used as a tool for sheep's intestines, and Hanhan will handle it well.

The medicine is not used, it is too harmful to the body, and if you use too much, you will not be able to conceive in the end.

The man's family who was divorced didn't say anything. They already knew how rich Xiaqiu Village was, and they also knew that people in Xiaqiu Village participated in making rock sugar and soap.

When you get married, do you live a hard life together, or bring a lot of dowry to support your in-laws?Or teach the in-laws to make things?

For a lot of money, it's easy to find another one, which is good.

There is no relationship between the man and the woman, and they have never met.

"Yi Chang, why don't you take the unmarried women over [-] years old in the village to visit the county school, not only the official school in Xuancheng County, but also the other five counties.

I will call out the students who have many sons and have a difficult life, and see which one will do, and then ask the other party what they mean.

I think that any student who thinks he can pass the exam will be willing to marry after knowing the conditions.How are you doing? "

After watching the lantern display, Li Zhixian talked about Lalang's work, and arranged it.

Song Zhifu agreed beside him: "Exactly, just look at the official schools in the six counties of Ningguo Prefecture. This year, the government wants to increase money to recruit more students."

"My Xiaqiu village donated [-] guan for the students to study." The village chief agreed, yes, more tricks, the village pays.

Nowadays, except for the dolls, everyone in the village can read and write, and can do arithmetic.

Finding an illiterate son-in-law will put a lot of pressure on him, so do I have to follow suit?
Originally, it would be embarrassing for the son-in-law to come to the door, and then bear all kinds of pressure, don't think about committing suicide.

Married women have no problem. Women have low status, and they know that they have to listen to their husbands when they marry, so learn as you please!
"Sure enough, it is a village of loyalty, benevolence, righteousness, and kindness. My mansion is grateful to the scholars in the mansion."

Song Zhifu clasped his fists, one thousand guan is fine, anyway, Xiaqiu Village can have money at any time, last time the Nursing Home gave out 1000 taels of silver.

After the matter was discussed properly, the officials drank happily, looking up at glazed lamps of various colors.

……

There is no permanent banquet in the world. On the sixth day of May, the people in the yamen finished their breakfast, rode their reluctant horses, and drove their carts to bid farewell to the village.

Horses have to go out to ride, but not inside the archway.

As soon as the archway was erected, someone in Xiaqiu Village committed a crime, and the government wanted to arrest him. As soon as the person arrived at the archway, those who dismounted from the horse, those who got off the car got off the car, and those who got off the sedan chair lost their momentum in an instant.

As soon as they left with a lot of gifts, Wang Laoji and the two hundred craftsmen came to help make the greenhouse.

People from other villages finished their work and came to help plant ginger.

At this time, it is too late to plant ginger. It should be planted in Lixia, and then recovered at the summer solstice.

Now that the summer solstice has passed, it was too busy at that time, so we can only hurry up and plant now.

It started when the team returned to the village. First, they gave the ginger seedlings, divided the ginger, and soaked alkali-type copper sulfate, which can be planted right now.

In this way, the ginger cannot be recovered, and a large amount of manpower is also required, and there are technical requirements for the operation.

Xiaqiu Village needs to plant [-] acres of ginger. The villagers bought [-] catties of ginger, not old ginger that has been stored for more than two years.

One mu of land needs to throw in [-] catties of ginger as seeds. Normally, you can harvest [-] catties, and if it is good, [-] catties will be fine.

The rest of the ginger is distributed to the workers as wages, and the sprouts are all finished. They can take it back and grow it themselves, and try to grow it for half a cent.

For the 200 people who came, each person was given [-] catties of ginger, and [-] catties would be gone. The remaining [-] catties would be eaten by the village, and each person would be able to eat less than [-] catties, which would last for a long time.

"We are late in planting, more than 40 days late, the ginger is not recycled, and the young ginger must be harvested. The young ginger is used to make candied ginger slices. It can be regarded as medicine, and it can also be eaten as a snack.

This year we have a greenhouse. After harvesting young ginger, we can also soak it in acetate, and then plant it in the greenhouse, so that we can have delicious ginger buds. This is called softening cultivation of ginger buds. "

The head of the village explained to Zhu Taiyi and the four of them, and the four of them were busy recording, and when Xiaqiu Village was a little less busy, they would immediately send someone back to report the records.

Yesterday, Zhu Lichang said something from a strategic point of view, but today he turned to talk about down-to-earth ginger planting.

Yesterday I pointed Jiangshan, and today I pointed Jiangshan.

Those who come to work have already known in advance that their wages will be paid with ginger, and they open half of the land at home, [-] square meters.

Today, the villagers are teaching by the side. Together with the villagers, they can plant [-] mu of land in one day, and they will plant it by themselves tomorrow when they go home.

It is said that twenty catties of ginger were planted, and I came here to learn how to take care of them. I harvested two hundred catties of ginger twice. The young ginger was pickled, and the old ginger was used for cooking or ginger syrup.

It belongs to Xiaqiu Village for free. How can a day's work be worth twenty catties of ginger?A meal at noon is more than wages.

Zhu Wentian carried a shoulder pole, with a basket at each end, loaded with ginger for transportation.

The guards went down to the field, they didn't know how to grow ginger, they learned it, and they could use it when chatting with others in the future.

Other villagers set up water trucks to divert water canals. Ginger planting requires a lot of water, so it is not suitable for planting far away from the water, and it can exhaust people to death.

People in other villages had a meal at noon, rested for half an hour, and went to the ground under the sun, and were left to eat another meal at night, and were sent home in horse-drawn carts and mule carts.

"After planting ginger, what should I plant next?" Li Chang was dazed by the sun during the day, and sat in the sacrificial hall drinking tea after eating.

"Bamboo fungus, planted on a large scale this year, and the results of last year, next year we will have a lot of bamboo fungus to eat."

Zhu Wentian reminded that this year they collected bamboo fungus from other villages, and did not consider selling them to shopkeepers, but ate them themselves.

The bamboo fungus planted last year will be used as seeds this year to cultivate the fungus. Before the Dragon Boat Festival next year, there will be tens of acres of bamboo fungus, and some will be sent to the palace.
