Villager of Daming

Chapter 599: Life and death decision: praise a village (third update)
130 people were arranged to rest in one place. Some people went to register and found out what they were doing.

At the same time, it depends on whether they come back or not. What will happen to the people in the village where they are hiding?
"We understand. They followed Shandong's example and harvested an extra crop of soybeans, which resulted in a lower yield."

Zhu Xi understood again that the yield of soybeans planted in wheat stubble was one-third lower than that of clear stubble.

The key point is that we don't plant soybeans at all. We just throw wheat stubble here and there, and turn our heads to other vegetable fields to plant vegetables.

Seeing that the yield has decreased by one-third, one should actually think that there are two-thirds more soybeans and soybean straw in this land.

After harvesting the soybeans, the wheat stubble is already rotten. Plowing and adding some lime will be more conducive to the growth of winter wheat.

Zhu Xi's mind is now filled with planting, breeding, industry, commerce, road construction...

He has a sense of accomplishment. He does not rely on his status as a prince, but relies on what he has learned to lead the people to live a good life.

When the place was built and the people were reluctant to leave, he felt that a heavy burden had been shouldered on his shoulders, carrying the hopes of the people.

Zhu Biao nodded: "So they can provide more food, and our army doesn't have to eat so much smoked fish."

"Yes!" That's what Zhu Xi meant, and he exchanged it with the common people for grain and soybeans. Soybean products are delicious!
He didn't think about grabbing it. For example, he collected an extra autumn grain. In the north, winter wheat was grown for summer grain, and rice was grown for autumn grain. There was no mention of collecting grain twice a year. How terrible?

The beans that the people collected more are guaranteed to be used to eat, what?Is grinding beans hard?You still have to open your mouth when eating!

……

At dinner time in the evening, An Qing rode back and changed horses midway. When he saw Zhu Biao and Zhu Ping, his legs were shaking.

Like other officials, some were brought back while lying on their backs.

After running continuously for more than 50 miles, some people may have blisters on their inner thighs.

"No need to kneel down, go get some medicine first and come back to eat Chuan'er."

Zhu Biao was used to being kneeled down along the way and found it meaningless.

Everyone ran to change clothes, and the imperial doctor helped. Someone's blood blister burst, and the blood flowed out and stuck to his pants.

Wet it with the yellow iodine water produced by the Tai Medical Laboratory, then separate it, and continue to rub it with the yellow iodine water. This does not hurt, so replace it with alcohol and iodine...

The key point is that for friction injuries like this, if you use alcohol directly, pus will easily form under the scab, and the pus will always have to be drained, which is very painful.

Yellow iodine water is most suitable as it dries quickly and is less irritating.

When the officials came back, some of them who were wearing short clothes were now wearing robes with nothing on underneath so that they would not wear out.

Today we are having mutton skewers. Zhu Biao hasn’t eaten in a month. Datong is not as good as Peiping, even though the distance is only about [-] miles.

Wine is beer. There are wild hops on the grassland, which are different from the fruits of Lala Yang.

With hops, other things are simple. Zhu Ping specializes in this. His beer brewing skills are very good!
After everyone sat down, including the 130 former ministers of the previous dynasty, Zhu Biao said a few words, everyone drank wine together, and the song and dance performance began.

After taking a few sips of wine, someone came to Zhu Biao and reported in a low voice: "The villagers in the village where they are are very anxious, but they dare not come over. Some people are sitting on the ground crying."

"I know." Zhu Biao nodded, and the person who reported the news stepped back.

The head of the village didn't need to ask Zhu Biao and said directly: "Apparently they told the villagers not to look for him when they came out, because if they did, he would die. The more people who come, the faster they will die."

"Promise to kill." Zhu Xi simply said, no matter what you did with the people, if you are here now and a large number of people come to plead for mercy, then you are dead. "How should we deal with it?" Zhu Biao asked the director again.

"No need to deal with it, only the poor make food! The people have enough to eat. Even if you lead the people to have enough to eat, if you lead the people to rebel, the people will not follow you.

Xiaqiu Village sent people to various villages, asking officials from the previous dynasty to lead the people to listen together, and the people in the villages explained better knowledge.

Ask the former officials to take notes and make speeches. The content of their speeches will naturally be about the shortcomings of what they did and what methods they have learned to make up for the shortcomings.

In this way, the people turned their attention to the imperial court and discovered that these people were all learned.Our methods are relatively mild. "

According to the knowledge he learned, the village chief transferred the people's trust in the knowledge of the officials of the previous dynasty.

There is less personal worship and more national belief in the hearts of the people.

"Isn't it gentle?" Zhu Xi heard another meaning.

“If they were not moderate, the people of Xiaqiu Village went to teach the village chiefs, and the officials of the previous dynasty gathered to learn the new policies of the Ming Dynasty.

What the district chief has learned must be better than the knowledge he brought back before. The district chief is the most powerful being in the local area.

When they find that they know more than the officials who led them to wealth before, they are unwilling to delegate power and even want the officials to die.well! "

The director sighed at the end of the sentence. He was tired and naive. He didn't even think that he was not the material.

Just like Hanhan said, he couldn't even get the rights to protect the villagers, so he still wanted to go to court or even fight with the emperor?
You can't even stand as a village guard, what else do you want?Just stay still!
"Alas!" Zhu Biao sighed: "Bei Yuan has already run away. We will send people to guard the fort this winter. The rest who did not follow Bei Yuan are our own people."

When he said this, he represented what to do with the 130 people in the future, giving them official positions, allowing them to continue their studies, and lead the people to live a good life.

They were not from Beiyuan. If they ran away, their families would stay behind. They were reluctant to leave and hid with their families.

Unlike Wang Baobao, when he sees something is wrong, he runs away!Many people in the family were captured by the Ming Dynasty, but they were not killed. Even the maids and eunuchs were all saved by Xu Da.

"Send people to tell the anxious people in each village that the people who come have become officials." Zhu Biao ordered to calm the people first.

Then he signaled, the singing and dancing stopped, and everyone naturally looked at his position.

He stood up with a beer mug in his hands. With a clatter, everyone stood up and held their glasses.

Zhu Biao took a deep breath and smiled: "My lords, let me tell you the good news. The construction of Helin City and the surrounding earth fortresses and beacon towers has been completed.

I and my second brother, King Qin, contributed a lot, and Xiaqiu Village was responsible for the main coordination and planning.

Including agriculture, handicrafts, mineral mining, smelting, refining, etc., and even salt, there is endless salt to eat.

To what extent Xiaqiu Village can achieve, everyone must know that Beiyuan will never come back. In a few years, our Ming Dynasty may have to continue the Northern Expedition.

After hearing about the method you learned from Xiaqiu Village, I feel that it is not perfect enough, so I will send someone from Xiaqiu Village to provide additional explanations.

The tomorrow of the Ming Dynasty will definitely be beautiful, and you all must work hard to serve the people of the Ming Dynasty and let it be recorded in history.Drink to win! "

As he said that, Zhu Biao raised his head and took two sips. He didn't finish it. It was too much and it took up his stomach.

The others didn't finish either. The cup was too big. If you put this in, you wouldn't be able to eat.
