Villager of Daming

Chapter 596 The most important parting words are Sang Ma (fifth update)

"We will not take away the well pipe and well head. We will use the ore here to make new ones and leave you with an earthen blast furnace. You have been using coal to smelt iron ore here many years ago.

This is a mat. I’ll leave you two more sets. This one is made of sheepskin. It can be made from either pigskin or cowhide. Remember to check the size and thickness.

Our well is located in a sunken area, and the terrain is so low that we can still produce water even in times of drought.

Try to drink well water from now on. The river water is sometimes too dirty. If possible, just boil it and drink it..."

After the people from Xiaqiu Village finished digging wells for the people living in cave dwellings in Datong County and surrounding areas, they began to explain.

When the leather gasket used for sealing breaks down, the people have to find a way to get the leather themselves. Rabbit skin can also be used.

Not only the well, but also the steps for feeding the chickens. There is a kiln in Datong, and it is a famous kiln.

If you can burn a kiln, you must be able to feed the chickens and eat calcium supplements. The Datong kiln has existed since the Liao Dynasty, and a lot of good porcelain was fired during the Yuan Dynasty.

There are iron ore and coal mines nearby, many of which were mined and smelted in the past.

In addition to these, the fish meat is eaten after fishing, and the fish bones are ground into powder and fed to the chickens. Combined with gypsum powder, the eggshells of chickens that lay soft-shell eggs will harden immediately.

Under the guidance of craftsmen, the army used Luoyang shovels to dig cave dwellings and built blast furnaces and cement kilns in other places.

When the blast furnace and kiln were built and waiting to be dried, the wheat began to be harvested, and everyone helped with sickles.

The craftsmen are making equipment, such as a pedal thresher, and the children are carrying baskets to gather wheat ears. They smell each other from time to time, and their faces are all powdered and smell good.

The people of Datong were so happy that they saw people running to the mountains to find stones and coming back to help grind diamonds. Stones of all sizes were drilled out like works of art in the hands of craftsmen.

There are more cave dwellings to live in, wells that can pump water at any time, and so many stone mills, stone rollers, stone hammers, and stone rollers.

The army works too fast and the craftsmen are very skilled. This is the team of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Highness the King of Qin.

The stone is carved with a drill, not with a chisel.

If you hook up a steam engine, you can carve stones faster!
There are also those who cook coke, wash coal, and make briquettes. There is no shortage of clay in Shanxi. Once the coal slime is mixed, it becomes briquettes.

The toilet after everyone eats and drinks is full of fertilizer, which cannot be used now. It needs to be retting, fermented, and then sprinkled with lime to kill insects and bacteria.

This fertilizer can only be used when soybeans and sorghum are harvested and winter wheat is planted.

The local people have never encountered such a situation in their lives, as if they were dreaming.

What they faced was the most elite army, the best craftsman group, the most advanced technology, and the most complete command system in the entire Ming Dynasty.

"Output has been reduced by [-]% on average, but we are still unable to withstand the late spring cold. The key lies in the lack of auxiliary tools, such as mulch films."

The head of the village explained the situation to Zhu Biao and Zhu Xi. The wheat harvest had been finished and they were plowing and fertilizing.

The two brothers Zhu Biao know what mulch is. The laboratory in Xiaqiu Village can make it and spread it on the ground. It can cope with drought, report moisture, and keep heat.

Especially when growing vegetables on the ground, the seedlings are first raised and the mulch film is fastened. The vegetable seedlings start to grow when the weather is cold. It has just warmed up and can be transplanted, one month earlier than normal vegetables.

This is how seedlings are raised in greenhouses. They are always one step ahead and better at growing melons. Others have to wait for their melons to mature, while the melons here are on the market.

"Chang Li, we still think that greenhouses are easier to use. It is too difficult to make mulch film. Depending on your preparation, the cost will be too high to bear."

Zhu Xiang still thinks that greenhouses are good, especially for growing vegetable seedlings.The things in the laboratory are indeed magical, but unfortunately they cannot be produced industrially. We can only know that such things and technologies exist.

Zhu Biao also gave up on mulching: "Teach everyone how to use the blast furnace, and build an open-hearth furnace to make steel by the way. When we leave, the people will know how to use it.

If anyone is willing to come and invest, let them invest, negotiate good terms, and don't let others take advantage of you.

Is there any trona here?If possible, let’s burn glass!Wherever ceramics can be made, there are raw materials for making glass, all that's missing is an alkali. "

Now he is getting smarter and smarter as he learns, and he knows how to make glass and explosives.

"Your Highness, there is saline-alkali land here, which can be used to boil the soil for alkali. There is no alkali mine that is easy to dig." The head of the village gave the answer.

"Isn't that the end of it? It can be transformed back and forth. If you want to purify, you can purify. If you want caustic soda, you can have caustic soda. If you want pure ash, you can have soda ash. I can do this."

Zhu Qinglai became more energetic. It was simple, he could do it, it was not difficult at all.

Zhu Biao nodded, yes, I understand, chemistry is amazing.

"Do you want to do it? We can stay for another half month at most, finish things and go to Peiping. If we work together, we can build [-] acres of greenhouses."

"Okay, let's speed up everyone, so that we can provide fresh vegetables to Yangqu County in winter. I'll leave some people in charge, and my second brother can't throw people away anymore."

Zhu Biao chose to do it because he knew how much impact a greenhouse would have on the local area. People could eat vegetables in winter and supplement chlorophyll and vitamins.

Since he came once, I don’t know when the next time will be, so if he can provide something to the people, just provide it!
He ordered that the ceramic kiln that originally existed here would help burn refractory bricks, and then use the refractory bricks to build a glass kiln.

The local people are busy, knowing that the production will be reduced by [-]%, but they are not sad, because the growth cycle of soybeans is short, even if they are not fully mature, they can be eaten after cooking.

The reason why the team stayed for another half month was to let the chicks hatch and let the old hen lead them, otherwise they would leave after planting the land.

Those eggs taken from the common people will be returned to the common people according to the proportion.

For example, 70.00%, if the people give ten eggs, seven chicks will be returned to the people.

During this time, we can also fish, build roads, build a few stone or wooden bridges, and clean ditches.

It is difficult for the people to build a road or a bridge by themselves. The people do not know the technology, so they have to hire people, or the government can help find people.

This was the place of the Yuan Dynasty before, but now the government organization is not very good. All the energy is focused on the army, and the guards are the focus.

The craftsmen took action, and the boats were responsible for helping in the creek. The creek that was a few feet wide was what the people needed the most to have a bridge.

If it's wider, we'll have to use a boat. We usually walk a short distance, but it's difficult to cross the river. Sometimes we have to go a long way to get to the other side.

If the river is five feet wide and the water is not rising, you can put rocks in it and walk on them. If the water rises, there will be nothing you can do.

With a bridge, you can cross it at any time without worrying about accidentally falling in.

The people just watched as bridges were built, greenhouses were built, soybeans and sorghum were planted in the fields, and they learned how to deal with the difference in harvest time.

When the chickens chirped and followed the old hen to learn their skills, the team was completed.

People from the common people community in one place ran out, knelt on the roadside and cried loudly.
