Chapter 578 Disaster Forecast: People’s Livelihood Is Urgent (First Update)
A number of sledge boats ran out again, some going to Ningxia and Gansu. This is a line, first to Ningxia and then to Gansu.

The West Route Army came from that side and was also within the scope of the cold air flow.

Some people are going to Shanxi and Shaanxi. These two are not the same and need to be separated. Xi'an Prefecture is governed in Chang'an and Taiyuan Prefecture is in Yangqu.

This is the march route of the Central Route Army and the East Route Army.

In addition, we went all the way to Datong Prefecture. After arriving in Datong, we stopped by Peiping.

The main purpose is to tell the people that there may be a late spring cold, so they should prepare in advance, especially those who grow winter wheat. Don't wait for the weather to get warmer. They should topdress fertilizer and water in advance to let the seedlings grow up, so that they are not afraid of the cold.

Zhu Wentian doesn't know if there will really be late spring cold. Anyway, others have no problem in promoting seedlings. There is no late spring cold and they can harvest in advance. However, extra watering is tiring.

Special events such as late spring cold, floods, heavy snow, hail, etc. will all be recorded, provided that they must be in places controlled by the Ming Dynasty.

Then you can check, such as floods, Zhu Wentian will tell you in advance, the court should avoid it, and earthquakes.

As for the locust plague, the locust plague was affected by drought. Previously, a large area was drought, so there was a locust plague. There was a drought in Shandong, and there was also a locust plague.

As a result, the people dug wells and watered the land, and a large area of ​​land became moist. The people knew that there would be locusts after the severe drought, so they took precautions in advance.

"What else is going on this year? Chongming County in February should be running ahead of time, right? Jiading Prefecture in July is about to take action. Anyway, if you don't run, you will die.

In July this year, there was a locust plague in Beiping, Shanxi, Henan, and Shandong. This should not be a big problem because it followed the previous situation.

The people were hungry after the drought and did not bother to catch locusts. The land was empty. Then it spread to places such as Datong and Laizhou in Shandong. If it was not cured, it would multiply vigorously and affect other places in the next year.

In addition, the earthquakes continued, but the damage was not great. The Yangqu earthquakes in Taiyuan were all minor earthquakes, and there were no records of house collapse.

There is hunger every year, but that was caused by the previous drought, plus the locust plague. Now that the drought has been resolved, can we still be hungry?

For example, last year, the history of Jinan, Laizhou, and Dongchang counties recorded that people ate up all the grass and bark.

This year Suzhou, Yangzhou, Zhending, and Yan'an are hungry and the people have nothing to eat. How is that possible?Zhu Yuanzhang exchanged a large amount of grain from the Yi people, plus more grain from Ningguo Mansion and Taiping Mansion.

Zhending Prefecture and Yan'an Prefecture in Hebei Province were also affected by the previous drought. Their grain loss was not much, [-]% to [-]%, and they were all exempted from land tax.

oops!Could it be that the late spring cold had another impact?Did the winter wheat planted last year freeze to death?What else is coming..."

Zhu Wentian muttered and wrote down that what he was most worried about now was whether Chongming County had followed the arrangement and evacuated people. There would be no floods in Jiading Prefecture until July.

In Chongming County, the tide rose and the entire county was submerged. In Jiading Prefecture, the problem was the river.

One is in the east, at the mouth of the Yangtze River. Chongming County is a small island, not that big, and it is flooded.

One is in the west, from Sichuan. This place is big, Jiading Prefecture, and then it was hit by a disaster. It was said that houses and other things were floating on the water. That person obviously...

Therefore, after two years in history, Jiading Prefecture became Jiading Prefecture. Because there were no more people, the population was small, and the economy could not improve, the prefecture was reduced to a prefecture.

Chongming County has a small population and was affected by the war. Later, some people were moved away as soon as they were asked to move, leaving no trace of the sea water.

Jiading is different. The two counties that were most severely washed away in Jiading are some distance apart, which proves that the water was heavy. It was destroyed along the way, and other counties were also affected. Finally, the water entered the Yangtze River.

What happened in July is now March, and there are still four months left. If you want to move, you have to start now. The house has been washed away. To move, you have to move the house, dismantle the wood and take it away, and then come back when the flood is over.No grain has been grown there yet. The winter is not cold, so it is not suitable for growing winter wheat. We have to wait for a while and then plant rice.

Obviously, we can't plant it. When the flood recedes, it will be too late to plant rice, and we won't be able to plant wheat. Sorghum is not suitable, and the same is true for soybeans.

"Oops! What can we do? Move, hide, floods come and go, and then the land becomes empty? We can only grow vegetables.

Vegetables, what are vegetables worth?At least let the people reduce their losses, and Zhu Yuanzhang will give some subsidies. Obviously, the land tax cannot be collected, and the labor labor cannot be levied.

If there are potatoes, you can still plant them. Their place is suitable for growing... mustard?
Green cabbage, if they planted it, have they started harvesting it now?Um!Don't worry about it now, we'll talk about it later, don't be in a hurry.

Let them grow green cabbage heads, buy them at a high price, make mustard, and sell them in Jubiqili. They can still eat the leaves on the cabbage heads in winter. "

Zhu Wentian finally thought of what to use to help the local people, pickled mustard. There is no pickled mustard now, and there are many processes!

Moreover, pickled mustard is delicious, cheap, and has high yield. It can be used as pickles or stir-fried with other vegetables.

After the matter was confirmed, Zhu Wentian's mood improved, so let's get rid of it!Once the losses are cleared, the losses can be recouped and you can make more money in the future.

This year, these two floods worry him the most, but the others are fine.

……

Zhu Biao and Zhu Xi didn't know that someone was thinking about finding other income for the people who were moving to another place, so they were busy building earthen forts.

The herdsmen continued to help process the fish. The size of the internal organs must be determined, and the swim bladder must be taken out separately. This is for vegetables, and the fish intestines are left alone and thrown to the chickens and ducks.

They lay eggs and then artificially hatch chicks and ducks. The chicks and ducks hatched before have grown to a certain extent.

In the blink of an eye, it’s the Grain Rain season. Normally, it’s not very cold in the north. At least the ice on the river water has formed a thin layer. It gradually breaks off as the water rises and falls, and then disappears overnight. , or it will melt after a rain.

But now it's a bit cold again. As Zhu Wentian analyzed, it's late spring.

"It's so cold. The key is the wind! It feels like my face has been cut with a knife outside."

Zhu Xi went out for a walk. When he came back, he immediately applied warm water on his face and put on skin care products. He grabbed a box of orchid-flavored face cream from the little girl Ling'er.

Ling'er likes all kinds of things with orchid scent the most. The orchid scent is not fixed, but no matter which one smells good, it is light but not dissipating, and the fragrance is long-lasting.

The same goes for Zhu Biao. He uses orchid-scented skin care products, which are suitable for both men and women.

The headmaster said from the side: "The snow water that existed before the late spring cold melted, the humidity was heavy, and the air had a high water content. When the wind fell on people's skin, it felt like a knife.

Plateaus and grasslands, due to poor protection measures, are just like people on the seaside, with rough and dark skin.

When more skin care products appear in the future, they can be sold to them. If the skin is not good, it is easy to get sick. "

"When the weather gets cold, the cement in the earthen fort is not easy to dry. Fortunately, I sent them a letter in advance, otherwise production would have been reduced again."

Zhu Xi talked about his fiefdom. The previous drought reduced production, and there were locusts, which reduced the production a little. This year, it was a cold spring...
