Villager of Daming

Chapter 457
"Yixu is more important. Most of them are done by Yixu himself with the villagers." The head of the village waved his hand, Yixu was written by Zhao Li.

The others were arranged to rest, and the imperial physician took the pulse, especially pregnant women, who needed the imperial physician's help the most.

"Chief Zhao, tell me about the village." Zhu Biao motioned for the other party to sit down and talk.

Zhao Li thanked him and sat on half of his butt: "His Royal Highness, Zhaojia Village is not as good as it used to be, every family can eat meat..."

He started to introduce that the villagers were very happy when they bought the livestock after selling the salt.

According to the method of Xiaqiu Village, the livestock are centralized, and everyone works hard to cultivate the land and raise pigs and poultry.

When the farming is not busy, I help cook the brine and earn extra money.

Later, he wrote to Xiaqiu Village to express his gratitude. Xiaqiu Village was opening a box restaurant at that time, and the head of the village wrote back, asking Zhao Li to lead the people to engage in the service industry.

So they multiplied vegetables, and then made them into boxed meals and sold them to the boatmen and others who transported bitter salt and salt by the Ru River.

And specially built a few large public huts, the village is close to the river, when others go to the toilet, they dig out the manure, and then retting it into farm manure.

It looks dirty, but it can increase the yield in the field. If this industry is willing to sell the fertilizer, it will be very profitable.

In big cities, there are special people who push horizontal barrels to harvest night incense every day, at least that's how things are transported away in the imperial city.

The reason why the water in the Qinhuai River is so clear is that there are few toilets in Nanjing, and everyone uses clean buckets, so you can get used to it.

Like Zhu Wentian’s time in Shanghai, the first thing everyone did when they got up in the morning was to come out with a bucket, wait for the collected car to arrive, pour it in, and then line up to wash the bucket.

In Zhaojia Village, there is no need to carry buckets, which saves energy, and there are dedicated people who are in charge of each toilet, always making the inside look clean, and lighting the cheapest incense at the same time.

The local area is not like Sichuan, where there are brine wells and natural gas wells, and natural gas is used to cook the brine.

The local area needs to use coal, and when the coal is burned out, the people in the village offer to help transport it away, no money is required, and it is mixed with manure to suppress the smell and reduce maggots, and it can also fertilize the field.

It has been more than half a year like this, and the village has improved some bad land with farmyard manure.

This is the idea given by the head of the village, to provide a hut for free, clean it, and transport away the cinders for free.

"Now the land in this village has been improved, and we plan to sell mixed fertilizer in the next step, and we are about to write to Yichang to ask how to sell it."

Zhao Li added another sentence, stood up and bowed to Li Chang.

The village chief had no choice but to stand up and return the salute: "Of course the other villages around you know the situation best. You can sell it to them, but you have to pay taxes when you sell it, and you must pay it."

"Selling this kind of thing and paying taxes?" Zhao Li frowned.

"After you pay the tax, these jobs will still belong to your Zhao family village in the future. If you don't pay, others will see that they can get money from it, and they will..."

The head of the village stopped at this point, I believe Zhao Li, who is quick-witted, understands.

"But I've already given them...that boxed lunch. It doesn't make money, but I'll give it back."

Zhao Li wanted to say that he would benefit the officials, but suddenly changed his mind and talked about the lunch box.

He told the prince and King Qin that the village provided boxed lunches for the Baofeng County Yamen, and provided one meal at noon, and only charged the capital.

"You don't need to pay taxes, but I want to see who dares to snatch this deal? Should you give the boxed lunch, or you will have to pay tax on the boxed lunch."

Zhu Xun told Zhao Li that he didn't have to pay the tax on fertilizers, and obviously he didn't pay the tax on the boxed lunch either. It is estimated that the county officials got extra benefits.

Then other civil servants and government servants in the county also need benefits, and a box lunch at a cost is enough!

He knows that the cost of mass production is much lower than that of his own home.

The box lunch in Zhaojia Village uses the vegetables grown by the village itself, which is equivalent to converting the cost into it.

Not far away are officials such as Zhizhou, including officials from Baofeng County.

They were sweating from fear just now. Even if the crown prince knows about some things, it will be fine if others don't mention them.

They made a note that in the future Zhaoli Village would not be hindered from selling fertilizer, and the huts had to be placed by the river. As for the cinder, it would not be managed by the county, but by people sent by the imperial court.

Who knew before that the burned cinders mixed with farmyard manure could be used to fertilize the fields?They are all paving the way.

No wonder Zhaojia Village got so many stone mills, rollers, and rollers, which were originally used to process coal cinders.

The chief didn't know what the nearby officials were thinking. Since the other party had achieved this level, he was willing to give it another push.

"His Royal Highness, His Royal Highness King Qin, in fact, the reason why the local people burned Ru porcelain in the Song Dynasty was because the local clay and minerals were suitable.

Ru porcelain naturally refers to Ruzhou in Rushui. I want to collect it in the palace, but it can't be fired now.

Its most beautiful part lies in its color. The sentence to describe it is: After the rain, the sky is clear and the clouds are broken.

Local clay is related to phosphate rock, bauxite, potassium feldspar, etc. bauxite is the key to firing porcelain.

That is to say, the local mineral resources are very good, especially phosphate rock, which is needed for our matches and is also a good fertilizer.

If the two Highnesses still want to burn Ru porcelain, Xiaqiu Village can provide the firing technology, which is very easy. "

The head of the village talked about why Ru porcelain is good in the local area, because there are good mines, which are just right for you.

At the same time, tell the two of them that we can burn it if we want.

"You know how to burn Ru porcelain?" Someone stood up and shouted.

"Bold! Kneel down!" Zhou Zong drew out his knife, is it your turn to speak?
"Forgive me, Your Highness the Crown Prince, forgive me, Your Highness King Qin!" Huang Wu, the magistrate of Ruzhou, knelt down, and he was the only one who yelled.

"Get up." Zhu Biao frowned and waved his hand, then turned his head and asked with a smile: "The chief said that more fertilizer can be produced? Adding good things like bitter salt can increase the production of local crops?"

"Exactly!" The chief also smiled, this is what the prince should care about, what is the use of Ruci?

"Li Chang, that... we can sell Ru porcelain to the barbarians. It used to be the first of the five famous porcelains in the Song Dynasty!"

Zhu Xi couldn't bear it anymore, he wanted to burn Ru porcelain, but this thing is broken now, no one knows the technology.

If you change someone, he directly asks the other party to hand in the technology, and you have to show it if you know it.

He didn't dare to face the head of the village, so he could only persuade him from the side, sell it for money, and sell it to barbarians.

The other officials had surprised expressions on their faces, but at the same time their eyes were filled with anticipation.

Do you want to burn Ru porcelain?This is Ruzhou!Ruzhou without Ruci felt that something was missing.

Unlike some officials on the road when Zhu Biao came, they didn't know Xiaqiu Village. With such a bitter salt, everyone began to know Xiaqiu Village.

Later, books on raising livestock and planting crops came from the palace, and they learned more about Xiaqiu Village.

Unexpectedly, even His Royal Highness King Qin did not dare to force technology.

"His Royal Highness Qin Wang, who is the technology for?" the chief said and put his hand into his arms.

"Wait, chief, take it easy, don't worry, just keep it in your pocket, alas! He really is our good chief."

Zhu Xi prevented the head of the village from taking it out, but he was relieved.
