Villager of Daming

Chapter 609: What I said on my way back is to wait for this winter

"Quick, quick, quick, plant soybeans, plant sorghum, don't worry about the yield, just plant them first."

Next to a newly reclaimed land, Zhu Biao directed his hands to plant beans.

There are many places in Peiping that have not been cultivated, or the land was not good before, and there were wars, which resulted in famine. Some people will grow something secretly, but they will not say that they grew it themselves.

You need to pay land tax and perform labor service. You said that your family suddenly has dozens of acres of extra land. Well, let’s provide food!Give it to those who have no land.

Now these lands have been reclaimed, and unless growing vegetables, only soybeans are the most suitable food crops.

Either grow potatoes, sweet potatoes, peanuts, or corn, but unfortunately there are none.

Soybeans are not afraid of a sudden drop in temperature. At worst, they will be cut for silage, and the silage pond has been built.

Sorghum is planted next to soybeans. According to the interplanting method, sorghum is not ready to be harvested. Peiping is not suitable for autumn sorghum planting.

These sorghums are specially used to make silage, and the soybeans are harvested based on luck. If you are lucky, you will harvest the beans, but if you are not lucky, you will harvest the edamame, chop them up and throw them into the silage pond with the bean stalks.

It is absolutely impossible to set up a livestock breeding transfer station without supporting facilities.

As long as the common people are not busy at home, they will definitely go to other places to work together. They agreed that they would not be paid and were willing to pay, but the money was minted, so why not give it?
The mineral areas listed by Zhu Wentian have a high mineral yield rate. Miyun in Beiping is a good place. It feels like it has everything.

"The land in front is planted with millet and soybeans, which can also be used to make brooms. The sorghum stalks can be used as curtains, and pickled salted eggs can also be used as grates for pressing eggs."

Zhu Ming then said that millet is just like rhubarb rice, which is drought-tolerant and drought-resistant. According to the current solar term, it should be able to be harvested. Rhubarb rice can be eaten, but it is relatively hot, so you have to eat it slowly.

An Qing and other officials have been following them. They have nothing to do. There were some backlogged cases before, but they have been dealt with in the past month.

As soon as the prince and King Qin's team arrived, public security was good!
Especially when the people got the things, it turned out that the neighbor's dog killed a chicken and ate it. If the neighbor did not pay compensation, he would have to file a lawsuit.

It’s pointless to withdraw now and not litigate. It’s just a waste of time. Isn’t it just a chicken?The neighbor didn't do it on purpose.

Where are the neighbors!Then he took the initiative to send a chicken, because there were many chicks, which could be raised to lay eggs and eat meat.

In the past, no one would be willing to part with a chicken, but now it feels like it doesn't matter.

People who used to be idle now have a job, mining. If you don't want to do it, it's mandatory. If you have the ability, just run away and see where you can go?
Into the mountains?Do you have the ability to survive in the wild?Is winter coming?
There is someone who specializes in investigating idle people. Whose family do they belong to?What do you usually do?Is it all about eating and not working?
If there are other people in the family, they can dig mines first, then take them away, serve as soldiers, teach literacy and arithmetic, and stay in the military camp for a few years.

The military salary given was sent directly to the family. When he was a soldier, he didn't spend money on food. Unlike before, the palace can now afford it.

……

"The sea ships are coming, the ones that come up against the current are awesome!" It was noon again, and the fleet of the Ming Navy came in from the canal.

They do not have the speed of steam engines and ships, so they can only move slowly, delivering part of the land tax from Dengzhou, Laizhou and other places in Shandong Province, and the rest is dried sea fish.

More than 100 ships came at one time, and grain from Hebei and Henan was also transported here. Some of the food was transported to the team and had to be eaten on the way back.

"Before we leave, tell the people that this year's land tax will be waived and returned to them." Zhu Biao spoke and looked at An Qing and others.

"Don't worry, Your Highness, no one will dare to greedy a grain of wheat."

An Qing understands that if the prince steps forward, he will start reaping the benefits from behind, then...

"We believe it, eat, eat, eat. This is the salted fish and eggplant stew that the people love to eat now. Please try it." Zhu Biao said as if he believed you.The officials ate rice and looked at the dishes in front of them. They had no idea that the people would eat like this.

The skin of the eggplant was completely peeled off and cut into strips. The salted fish also had strips of fish meat, with no scales visible and no fishy smell.

Can people eat like this?How rich are they?
"Li Chang, the steam engine ship must be left behind so that we can obtain dried fish and salt from the seaside. Let's walk along the canal and put down the steam engine ship along the way for short-distance transportation in the canal. Okay?"

Zhu Biao didn't care what the officials thought, he decided to put more good transportation tools here.

"His Royal Highness can decide." The chief said it was no problem.

"We also need boats to deliver things to our fiefdom as far as the Yellow River. The oil there has to be transported to Yingtian Mansion, right?"

Zhu Fang was afraid that he would be forgotten. The fourth brother's fiefdom was waiting for him to leave, ensuring great development.

What other resources does your fief have?Yanchang County belongs to Yan'an Prefecture, not Xi'an Prefecture, so it is obviously unacceptable.

Zhu Xi could see what his father was thinking. If Beiyuan was not beaten away, there would still be Yan'an Mansion to the north to support him.

The third child's place is supported by Datong Road, and the fourth child's place is supported by Yanqing Prefecture and Miyunwei.

The three of them must have an elite force of their own. Once Bei Yuan breaks through any line of defense, their elite troops will be dispatched to fight Bei Yuan.

At that time, Beiyuan attacked all the way in. The supply line was long, so many attacks were consumed, and as soon as his elite troops came out, they could be dealt with immediately.

This is the previous strategic deployment, and it is obviously no longer needed. This summer, Beiyuan must quickly gain more bases there.

When they free up their hands, so many earth forts and beacon towers have been completed, and they will continue to send troops to farm land and raise livestock.

"If your Highness wants the Yellow River to flow smoothly, you need to clean up the reefs in Sanmenxia and send people to explode them during the dry season in winter."

The chief had already thought of this, and when Zhu Ping mentioned it, he followed suit.

The most difficult place to walk on the lower reaches of the Yellow River to Hukou Waterfall is Sanmen Gorge. The reefs are disgusting. If the boat wants to go down the river, it must be operated skillfully, otherwise it will hit the rocks and the shore.

Going up against the current, due to the strong current, the steam engine-powered paddle steamer could only move there, little by little.

Of course, it will be easier if you cooperate with the tracker. If the tracker gives a little strength, the boat will rush forward.

The flow of the Yellow River is strong in the current season. In winter, the upper reaches are frozen, the water level drops, the flow decreases, and the flow speed is not that fast.

Bring explosives over there, pull out the reefs one by one, and widen the river channel. Then it will be easier for steam engines and paddle steamers to cross.

Zhu Xi nodded: "We can wait, there is not more than one winter left, and there are still more than four months. We estimate that the Yellow River will not have much water when we respond to Tianfu."

"Well... uh... Zhu Lichang, isn't it easy to drill holes underwater?"

An official next to Anqing said that he knew about underwater things. He wanted to ask Zhu Ping, but felt bad. It would be better to ask the chief.

Zhu Ping took a look at him: "The boat passed by, and the people on it pulled fibers to fix the position. There was a steam engine on the boat, and the person put on the diving goggles. All that was left was to direct the steam engine to go down with the connecting rod and other drilling tools. You had to use manual drilling. ?”

Officials: "..."
