Villager of Daming

Chapter 623 Mechanical production does not count people (fifth update)
"Your Majesty! There is no interplanting at Shijiu Lake. They just plant wheat and then soybeans. We can help harvest the soybeans. The loss rate is about three percent. The loss rate means..."

The head of the village changed his mind this time. What happened before is in the past. Don't call me brother again, it will cause problems.

The loss rate he was talking about was that the beans fell off when the harvester was harvesting them and were confiscated.

This is the same as manual harvesting. The soybeans are ripe, the pods open when touched, and the beans fall to the ground.

However, for harvesters, try to choose a time when the pods do not pop open automatically, so that the loss rate can be controlled within one percent.

According to what Hanhan said, there are still some technical details that cannot be perfected. The key is to make them first and then analyze and adjust them.

"If you cut it early, you will lose three points?" Zhu Yuanzhang understood.

He also knows that you can't wait until the soybeans are completely yellow before cutting, otherwise the furrows will be full of fallen beans. Pick them up!

It is the same principle as when wheat is nine times ripe, [-]% is harvested, [-]% is lost, and [-]% is lost.

It is not easy to fool an emperor who knows how to farm. He has been through such hard times since he was a child.

"If that's the case, there will be a lot of muddy faces, which is when the juice of the green bean sprouts touches the beans. If the bean sprouts are a little dry, the breakage rate will be high, and the beans will have two halves. They cannot be planted and used to grow bean sprouts, and can only be made into tofu, Press soybean oil.

But hurry!When the equipment is lifted to the ground and hundreds of people collect it, the labor cost and additional labor balance must be taken into consideration when calculating the cost.

That is, can the money earned by five hundred people in a day while working elsewhere make up for the overall loss rate of the combine.

Including the money for leasing equipment, equipment also has costs. Although there is no cost upfront, we help people collect it, which is a subsidy. "

The director explained the term again, and he only understood it after Hanhan explained it.

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned: "It's just the people who work..."

"Chongba, it doesn't matter that way. Some land is uncultivated, and machines are sent out to plow, plant, fertilize, and harvest.

If one piece of equipment is worth 500 people, and one hundred pieces of equipment is worth 5 people, the flatter the land, the better it can be handled, right?

That cost is the material cost and labor cost of the production equipment, plus the fuel cost.

Of course, we also need to add maintenance costs and depreciation costs, which we know, such as the palace's electric lights, heating, water supply and drainage facilities. "

Queen Ma gave her opinion, don’t just count the places where there are people, what about the places where there are no people?

With this kind of machinery, a few people can complete the work of thousands of people. The Ming Dynasty is short of people, especially in Fujian and Lianghu.

In addition, there are not many in Guangdong, let alone Qiongzhou.

How many people are there in such a large grassland?Grass can grow, but food cannot?

Zhu Yuanzhang rubbed his temples: "When we fought in the war, we had to rely on girls to maintain the logistics. Sure enough, this is still the case after we become emperor, it won't work! Thanks to having girls here."

"Empress Ma's logistical organization skills should be regarded as a model for the world, unmatched by anyone else!" There is no need to be naive about this.

"Be careful if we let Chongba punish you! Obviously your Xiaqiu Village's logistics team is the best, why do you insist on talking about me?" Queen Ma didn't appreciate it at all.

"Hahahaha!" Zhu Yuanzhang laughed, feeling happy in his heart.

He knew that Xiaqiu Village was not joking, and he was guaranteed to build things, so that a lot of wasteland could be cultivated.

Zhu Yuanzhang knew where there was a shortage of people, such as Hunan, Hubei and Fujian. He moved people out because he was afraid.

That was the base area of ​​his former enemy. Some moved out, but others were unwilling to come out, so he gave them more land.When there is more land tax, local people will flee and the population will decrease.

In history, someone deliberately wrote a book to cause trouble, saying that Zhu Yuanzhang massacred so many people in the two lakes area that no one was alive.

Now Zhu Yuanzhang is not afraid of water fights, come on!Look at our steam engine ship, it can’t kill you!
All Zhu Yuanzhang's kindness to others, according to Hanhan, is within his control. If he feels it is safe, then he can give you kindness.

The other is that he finds it absolutely impossible to control, but the other party does not do anything that threatens him, so he will evaluate the interests of both parties.

Xiaqiu Village gave Zhu Yuanzhang the former, allowing him to treat the entire Ming Dynasty with peace of mind, and at the same time gave him the latter, telling him that he could not find the master.

Zhu Wentian understood that once he was exposed, he would be face to face, and without the sense of mystery, it would be very troublesome in the future.

"Yichang, our village has opened up all the land and planted a lot of ginseng on shady slopes.

In addition to medicinal materials, the other locations are fruit trees, fields and thorns. The thorns are medicinal materials, but they are planted too much.

The people we sent came back and said that there was no need for such a large area of ​​thorns. A large circle was surrounding the area, making it difficult for people to get in and not knowing what was going on inside. "

Zhu Yuanzhang took a few sips of wine and talked about the large area of ​​land he gave to Xiaqiu Village, which is now in use and hired people to cultivate it.

Some herbs, including ginseng, brought back from the Jurchens were also planted.

"Your Majesty is right, that thorn is actually to prevent herbivores from getting through and eating.

Later, we dug out the thorns and replaced them with barbed wire, which was buried deeper to prevent hedgehogs and other burrowing animals from getting in.

Improvements were made to the one-foot-high area above. Open a few more doors and close and lock them after people enter. "

The head of the village knows the situation there. Someone started reporting it when he came back yesterday, and Hanhan also listened.

Zhu Yuanzhang narrowed his eyes and looked at the eunuch Yun Qi next to him.

Yun Qi nodded, turned around and left immediately, he was loyal.

Zhu Wentian also looked at Yun Qi, thinking, this child needs to train a little bit, so that he doesn't dare to speak when something happens, or even can't speak, because his mental quality is not good!
When the time comes and you are beaten to death, what's the point of being loyal?Let's organize a training class for you. In many cases, it's not just about flattering the emperor. You have to have a personality that the emperor finds acceptable.

What?You serve tea to Zhu Yuanzhang, bang, slap the tray on the table?
That... you have no personality, you have a urinary personality!incredible!The key is that if you can't defeat Zhu Yuanzhang, you are guaranteed to be beaten to death.

"Your Majesty, what a happy day! We are all back. We have solved many problems along the way. He Lin has even built a bunch of forts. There is salt, and it is very hard to dry the salt!"

Li Chang smiled and said, he didn't care whether Zhu Yuanzhang killed others, but don't kill him in front of him.

"Yes! There are many mines over there. Who would have thought that you actually found rock salt and used a large amount of mining water to flush it. The mines are good! It's better if someone digs them." Zhu Yuanzhang said this.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" the chief thanked him.

Zhu Yuanzhang gave face and told the chief that the person who went to see the situation and came back with his own thoughts would be sent to mine, or else he would die.

Saying that Xiaqiu Village does not build a thorn belt to prevent people from going in to see it implies that Xiaqiu Village has secrets that you are not allowed to know.

The head of the village said that it could be replaced with barbed wire, which meant that Xiaqiu Village did not want to create anything rebellious there.

So who is wrong?Obviously the people from Xiaqiu Village live here, and they hire people to work there.

I have to give an explanation to Xiaqiu Village. What Li Chang means is that it is hard to dry salt in the salt mines, so go mining!
　Not today!
