Villager of Daming

Chapter 486 Do Not Mention Farming Methods (Third Change)
The unlucky sparrows were thrown into hot water to be scalded to shed their feathers, then their internal organs were cleaned and fried in a frying pan.

After the cows and horses had rested, the team moved forward again. After drinking some wine, Zhu Biao dozed off.

When he was in Luoyang, he felt very tired every day and had to deal with many things, and finally left. Once he relaxed, he felt sleepy.

When camping at night, he just ate a bowl of wontons and continued to sleep.

Zhu Wentian ate skewers in the middle of the village camp and drank beer from time to time.

"Silly! You heard it during the day too. Zhu Xi wants to build his territory while passing through quickly. I can't do anything about it."

The village chief sat next to Hanhan, took a big sip of beer, and like Hanhan, he basically didn't eat dinner.

"Actually, there is no need for too much additional guidance in Xi'an, as it used to be the capital of many dynasties.

Wheat is best grown there, and soybeans are no problem, including other crops.

The same is true for transportation. The Tang Dynasty was able to prosper, and it was the grain that was transported upstream by the Yellow River to Chang'an.

Only when the drought is not enough, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty will go to Luoyang to eat, and there is no food.

The actual situation is that at present, it is still a wheat growing area, and there are also hot springs, and most of the blue field jade has been dug up.

So what is its greatest value?Of course it's the land.There are many mountains around, including things from the previous dynasties.

Nowadays, local officials are not so greedy. The early Ming Dynasty was the best era, and officials were afraid.

After a few years, things have changed. Some people are willing to take risks, and so are the officials in Xi'an. They are so greedy!Bad!
They talk sanctimoniously about doing things for the people, but in reality they have to reap the benefits even when building a dam.

Therefore, technical issues are not a problem, but administrative issues are.

If you need technology, even if you are just passing by, I can provide independent and specialized technology that benefits the people. "

Zhu Wentian explained Xi'an's history and present, resources and wealth, and finally pointed out the issue of government officials.

"The issue of the administration of officials is a problem for the future, and His Royal Highness the King of Qin needs a solution." The head of the village took another sip of his wine.

"Li Chief, there are local resources, including good iron ore and coal mines, as well as oil. The oil is generally used for burning and treating livestock diseases.

The location of the oil is clear. Someone drilled and mined it in the Song Dynasty. It can be used for lighting, which I think is very good.

Since there is such a good thing, let's help to increase the utilization rate, and it is too wasteful to burn it directly.

We distill it and turn it into several oils. These oils can be burned, but gasoline should not be burned casually.

The key is that when dealing with these oils, we can get candles, and this candle is the best thing that can be sold. "

Zhu Wentian dragged Li Chang into the tent, and began to write and draw inside. There were oil wells in Guanzhong, and the utilization rate was not too high.

People just use it to light lamps, nothing else!Anyway, as long as it can be burned, it won't smoke your eyes after processing.

As for treating diseases, if there are parasites or something on livestock, just apply oil on them.

Tell the head of the village about the time of arrival, Zhu Wentian went out to drink and eat skewers, and the head of the village was copying inside, the most troublesome thing was drawing pictures.

He copied and drew for almost three quarters of an hour, recalling what Hanhan had said in his mind, and felt confident to go out to eat.

……

Before dawn, it began to rain lightly, so we hid in the tent for breakfast.

Zhu Xi ran to his brother's tent and ate with the children in Xiaqiu Village.

Zhu Biao's tent is big and round, the same as Zhu Wentian's Mongolian tent at that time, or this kind of tent has always been like this.

The door of the tent was open, and glazed lamps were hung on it for lighting.

"It's windy, otherwise we can build a shed and eat underneath, it'll be bright. Are you going to eat this today? That's really thoughtful."

Zhu Xi saw the fermented dough cakes and boiled meatball soup, and he was very appetizing.

The little girl smiled: "No, Your Highness, we want to steam the buns, and steaming the buns in the tent will be too steamy, which is inconvenient.

So the noodles of the steamed buns were baked into cakes, the fillings were boiled into balls, and other dishes that were originally intended to be made into soup were added, and it became what it is now. "

"Okay, it's pretty good now. I just wonder what the people in Xi'an Prefecture eat this morning?"

After Zhu Xing boasted about the meal, he looked at the head of the village with a look of compassion.

"Your Highness, after dinner, I'll tell you in detail." The chief said, don't look at us and eat quickly, otherwise it will be time to have lunch by the time we finish talking.

"I know that the chief has a solution." Zhu Xi became happy, even eating pickled vegetables felt like delicacies from mountains and seas. In fact, it was true, there was shrimp oil in it.

After the meal, everyone put away the tents and marched in the rain.

This time, many people sat in covered cars, while others wore coir raincoats and bamboo hats.

There were four people in Zhu Biao's car, and he also wanted to listen. He just wanted to know how he could find a way to make money for the people in one place alone without wasting time.

We all know the normal method, using local resources to lay out, including the application of some technologies.

According to his idea, let the people use more mineral fertilizers and pesticides to increase wheat production, and send some animals to help cultivate the land.

There are two crops a year, one crop of winter wheat and one crop of oil crops soybeans.

Obviously, the second brother would not be satisfied with just that. How could his fiefdom be dealt with so easily?

"His Royal Highness, first of all, let's talk about oil, this oil well is not in Xi'an Mansion, but in Yan'an Mansion.

To the east of Fushi County in Yan'an Prefecture, there is a county called Yanchang County, where a river called Yanshui flows into the Yellow River.

Yanchang County is right on the edge of the Yellow River. The Yellow River reaches Xi'an Prefecture, and the Wei River connects Chang'an County, the seat of Xi'an Prefecture.

That is to say, if His Highness can send people to extract oil and load it onto a ship, and then reach Huayin County along the river, it can be used. "

The Li Chang told a situation that the fiefdom of Qin Wang Zhu Xi was not in Yan'an, but in Xi'an.

"In the north of our fief, there is the Yellow River that can transport things? Let's send people over there, who can't let us go there to mine oil?"

When Zhu Xi heard that he had no fief, he was not afraid, because no one has a fief over there now.

Your own fiefdom is next to each other, so you can go there and take it, and the local people will mine it and use it to expand the scale yourself.

"In this case, the rest of the things will be easy to handle. There is Xianyang County not far to the northwest of Chang'an County.

There are coal mines in Xianyang County, which can be seen at a depth of 23 feet. It is not difficult to dig a well and mine them.

Your Highness can order people to dig coal here. In fact, the best coal mine is over there in Yan'an. A little north of Yan'an, there is Suidewei.

The coal mines there are good!It is abundant and easy to burn, and the key point is that it is very easy to dig. It can be said that it is an open pit mine. "

Seeing that Zhu Xing was able to solve the problem of oil extraction, the head of the village talked about the coal mine again. This is very close, very close.

Zhu Xi pursed his lips for a while: "Why don't they grow together? That's fine! That place is too far away. Let's have a coal mine in Xianyang, which is more than 20 feet deep, right? It will be dug out in a few days. Is there any more?"

"There is also an iron mine in the west of Chang'an County, where the Weishui River passes. It is upstream and is called Yusi County. There is iron ore with very good grade.

It's a pity that so many dynasties in the past were short of iron and coal, so I didn't know that there were all around Chang'an, alas! "

The chief said something else, shook his head and sighed.
