Chapter 619 Things are expected and the charter is urgent

Chapter 619: Something to look forward to and an urgent return trip

"We are asking about the officials you sent back, not when they said the prince's team would be back."

Empress Ma hugged her eldest grandson, who was about to throw himself into the water, and glared at Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Mining, we can't bear to kill him, aren't we such a great grandson?" Zhu Yuanzhang grinned at Zhu Xiongying.

"Hey! Okay! Well! Hey hey hey hey!" Zhu Xiongying responded.

"Uh..." Listening to what Grand Sun said, Zhu Yuanzhang always felt that something was wrong, and he couldn't explain it for a while.

However, what he said about the officials' handling of the situation is true. There are men in the official's family who are over 14 years old and follow him into the mine, where the women help with cooking and washing clothes.

Normally, they should be killed and their family members exiled. Generally, the survival rate after being exiled is about 50.00%. If there are young children in the team, the survival rate is even lower.

He is already merciful. At least no one will die while mining, and he is not exhausted to death. He is treated the same as a normal miner, except that he is not paid.

"Go back and check the situation in Fan'er fiefdom. The second son went to Xi'an Mansion fiefdom and arrested people. The fourth son also arrested people. Is there no problem with the third son?"

Queen Ma fed her eldest grandson meatballs in dumplings while talking to Zhu Yuanzhang.

The baby probably didn't open his mouth properly, and a quarter of the meatballs fell out while he was eating it. He stuffed it into his mouth with his little hands and his fingers, and the meatballs fell out together with the saliva.

"Hahahaha..." Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but laugh.

"Hehehe..." The little baby didn't know why the man he called grandpa was laughing. Anyway, he laughed when others laughed.

After finishing a dumpling filling, he jumped into the water and swam around again.

"The amusement park is good. If the children are not sleepy, bring them here to play for a while. When they are tired, they will go to sleep. There is no place to play in the various palaces in the palace."

Queen Ma watched a large group of children playing and felt relieved. Otherwise, each child would live in a palace with his mother, and there would be no outsiders. They would all be familiar palace maids and eunuchs.

If those Zhu Yuanzhang's women often don't see Zhu Yuanzhang for several days, their emotions will affect their children.

Now they bring their children here every day to interact with the women in Xiaqiu Village, and they are in a good mood. This is the only opportunity for them to freely interact with 'outsiders'.

The women in Xiaqiu Village could go out and come back to tell the palace people about interesting things.

Otherwise, they can only learn about the outside situation through the palace maids and eunuchs, and the palace maids and eunuchs have to ask eunuchs who can go out for shopping.

Eunuchs who are able to go out can get benefits and tell us what they encountered outside today.

Now there are no benefits for them, and the information channels in the harem are very hard. Even if anyone wants to ask something specifically, the woman from Xiaqiu Village will help ask them the next day.

For example, do you want to know if the embroiderers have any new patterns?Where are the new snacks?

"It's not easy to have a place like this! You will have to grow up in the future."

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the children, big and small, and felt a little emotional for a while.

"I heard from the officials who were escorted back that the foundation for the fourth child's fiefdom has been laid. The second child can manage it by himself, and only the third child is left."

Queen Ma spoke and looked at Zhu Fan who was helping his younger brothers and sisters.

"Building a fiefdom is simple. Just ask Xiaqiu Village to send people to help. The key lies in Beiyuan. We have to fight there. We can't wait for them to catch their breath before attacking us."

Zhu Yuanzhang was still worried about Bei Yuan when he talked about his son. Those people could recover as long as they were given some time, and they were particularly tenacious.

"I think the prince and the others will be able to help a lot of places on their way back." Queen Ma doesn't want to talk about Bei Yuan at the moment, she is in a good mood!
"Eat dumplings. When people in the Ming Dynasty eat dumplings when they want, it will be a prosperous time!"

Zhu Yuanzhang regarded eating dumplings as a prosperous time. Anyway, in his mind, it was impossible for any family who wanted to eat dumplings to be able to eat them immediately. …

"Since when do people eat kebabs at will? Especially beef ones."

On the ship, Zhu Xi thought of the same thing. Eat, you will be happy if you have meat, and the requirements are very low.

Mr. Li was making skewers while looking at the scenery on both sides of the Taiwan Strait: "It's not easy to eat beef, but it's easy to eat meat."

"How can meat be simple? It's not easy to raise sheep and eat grass. Raising pigs requires food, at least wheat bran. In the end, it turned into farming."

Zhu Ping took a closer look and found that it was still due to the field. The current land was not easy to plant and the yield was low.

The director nodded: "The yield of crops is limited by soil conditions, seed conditions, climate and pests and diseases.

The soil can be adjusted through various fertilizers, and the seeds can be cultivated to produce better yields. We cannot change the climate, and there are insecticides for pests and diseases.

Chemical fertilizers and pesticides depend on large-scale production. Since we now have a lot of natural resources, we can just use natural fertilizers and pesticides.

The problem of seeds is a long-term matter. The seeds can only be cultivated through better planting conditions. The varieties are actually the same.

It is best to find more exotic species to see which one is suitable. For example, the indica rice we grow now was actually obtained from elsewhere by previous dynasties.

Among them, Champa rice has been cultivated for generations and has become a separate variety suitable for farming in many places.

Guangzhou can achieve two crops a year and three crops every two years. This is exactly the case. Three crops every two years is mainly due to the trouble of plowing the land. "

Zhu Biao followed and said: "A lot of land is left uncultivated and the population is small, so there is no way to plant it. Then there is no one to plant the land in remote areas, and there is no land in the bustling places."

"Your Highness, don't worry. When we return to Yingtian Mansion, the village will make equipment for harvesting rice in late autumn this year, but it will not be suitable for interplanting.

Rice is harvested first, and jute is harvested later. If equipment is used to harvest rice, what will happen to the jute?They cannot be collected separately because the technical requirements are too high.

Let's speed up and try to delay as little as possible along the way. Let's see where there is demand and tell them how to leave immediately. "

The head of the village suggested not to wait until the New Year is approaching before responding to Tianfu. In that case, the rice harvest has already been finished and the village will have no time to build equipment and will have to wait until next year's wheat harvest to use it.

Obviously the prince and King Qin were anxious and unwilling to delay any longer.

"In this case, let's go straight back all the way. There are plains in the two places and let them plant and breed normally. When we get to the Shandong location, we will still rotate wheat with wheat stubble and soybeans."

When Zhu Xi heard what the chief said, he decided not to take special care of those places on the way back.

Zhu Biao also agreed. Isn't it just planting and breeding, and then growing lotus, chicken head rice and other things where there is water?
Or it's a mine. The mine tells the local area a rough area, and they dig it out.

Since there are better things and time is precious, I just go home to see my son.

So the team rushed back at a normal pace, stopping occasionally for supplies.

On the way back, when passing by Liaocheng County, Dongchang Prefecture, the chief gave him a drawing.

"Your Highnesses, there is oil here, basically at a depth of 350 feet. At this position, there is also coal. But for coal, there is no need to dig so deep. It is mainly oil."

The chief determined the approximate scope, but it was quite deep and it would be uneconomical to dig for other things. Oil was good, and the key was that there was natural gas here.

Just drill like in Sichuan, where there are deep natural gas wells used to burn well salt brine.
