Villager of Daming

Chapter 778 Young crops should be used as military pay

"Alas~!" The chief sighed and said with relief: "Your Majesty, everything will be fine. One year of rapid development can change many things."

"We know that if we wait for the grain to be shipped back next year, we will not give up land in areas with low grain production. If we save a year, they may not be able to survive."

Zhu Yuanzhang was thinking about increasing his food income next year and was in a slightly better mood.

Turning his head, he remembered something again: "Yichang, what do you think of the Green Miao Method?"

"Your Majesty has a good strategy. If the green crop method does not charge interest, it is most suitable for the people who farm the land.

Not only can you lend food to people in need, but you can also lend dried fish and utensils for home use.

Then repay it in installments. It is not mandatory to borrow, but it must be supervised.

Otherwise, the wealthy households already have money and food, so they can contact the government to borrow things interest-free and then lend them.

That will cause endless troubles and the people will scold him, such as Wang Banshan, who lives in the Banshan Temple to the north of Donghua Gate.

We just don’t understand, why doesn’t he understand anything?I don’t understand the officials below!I don’t even understand water conservancy projects.

Xuanwu Lake was such a good place, but he was asked to fill it in. What happened in the end?Waterlogging and barren fields.

He doesn't know the sufferings of the people at all, and he just relies on impractical knowledge to deceive people, telling lies, big words, and empty words.It is false and empty! "

As the chief talked, he began to criticize Wang Anshi. It turned out that he didn't understand Wang Anshi and couldn't stand someone speaking for him.

What annoys Zhu Wentian the most is the kind of people who keep talking about empty cannons and playing tricks on others.

Wang Anshi happened to be one, for example, in his poem, he climbed Feilai Peak, flew to Qianxun Pagoda on the mountain, heard the rooster crow and saw the sun rising.Don't be afraid of the floating clouds covering your eyes, because you are at the highest level.

Crazy!Arrogant!It means that he doesn't care about those little things because he has a high status!
People who praised him in history always praised him in terms of his knowledge, admitting that he was good at learning, but that was just good knowledge, which was of no benefit to the people. The higher he rose, the more he harmed the people.

Zhu Wentian likes to start from the basics, do some testing first, and then promote it after it works to avoid problems.

"Yes, yes!" Zhu Yuanzhang supported Li Chang's words. It seemed that he also disliked Wang Anshi.

"It's better to grow, or our village is stable. Then this green crop method will be used next year? When there is no harvest, we can lend it to the people wherever they need it.

We've all thought about it, isn't this sending the sergeant out?Anyway, go out once and do more things.

We don't need local officials to be in charge of the Green Crops Law, we'll let the sergeants take charge of it.

They went directly to the villages and county towns to understand things most thoroughly. They could not deceive anyone about whether a house was in need of something or not! "

Zhu Yuanzhang went on to tell him his plan. Others are not reliable, but the current soldiers are fine.

"Your Majesty, this is a wonderful plan!" Li Chang said with an admiring look on his face: "Oh my God! Why didn't we think it could be like this? Oh! Now we don't have to worry about people going hungry."

"I just remembered it occasionally. It's no big deal. Look! Let's think about it this way..."

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled like a flower and talked about his thoughts with the people around him.

Wait for the soldiers to pass by and ask the local government to open the warehouse. There will be some food there. Otherwise, what will happen during the war?
When winter wheat was harvested in early summer, the borrowed grain was replenished on the spot, which happened to be new grain.

The other part is planting rice, which needs to be harvested after autumn. At the same time, people are also in the lean days in autumn, so the same operation method is used.

That part of the food does not need to be transported to Yingtian Mansion. Yingtian Mansion mainly uses it to support soldiers and court officials, plus the manpower of the harem.

Now Yingtian Mansion is not short of food and has enough for everything. In addition to Yingtian Mansion, there are three other mansions that are crazy about crop rotation and interplanting. Just buy the grain.

There are hundreds of square kilometers of land behind Xiaqiu Village, part of which is used to grow medicinal materials, part of which is used to plant trees to stabilize the soil, and part of which is used for breeding expansion.The rest were all used to grow food crops, but they were seeds, which were exchanged one-to-one with the court and sent to the people in other places.

The village of Xiaqiu donated these grains to whomever wanted them, but the village didn't sell them at all, and it couldn't eat them all.

With this supplement, people in Yingtianfu will not go hungry.

The Yi people continued to send food and even live animals for trade, and they would give them a high price and high points.

Like the onions before, they gave a lot of points, allowed the other party to buy whatever they wanted, and paid separately.

Next year, onions will be spread to more places, and in another two years, all of Ming Dynasty will be able to grow them.

There is one more food in winter. Onions are actually sweet when heated. They have a longer shelf life than green onions and have a higher yield per mu.

“But we can’t wait until there is a recession before we start. We have to give them meat, dried fish, iron pots and other supplies beforehand.

They have to strengthen their body bones before they can farm. We cannot provide a large number of livestock and machinery and equipment now.

Just rely on people, don’t be exhausted, even if you farm less, our father, our mother, our brother...

Yingtian Mansion has [-] soldiers left behind. Can they hold it in the event of a war?Go, call the generals here, and tell them that we will treat them to a meal and a bath. "

Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to send a large number of troops to the local area, leaving only 5 people to guard Yingtian Mansion.

Someone went out immediately, and Zhu Yuanzhang came to Zhu Wentian who was frying skewers: "Hanhan, how about grilling some skewers later?"

"Hey? Roasted, good, delicious, hehehe!" Zhu Wentian nodded. He wanted to have fun when Zhu Yuanzhang was having fun just now.

He started to lead his friends to make a charcoal fire. There was charcoal underneath the fried skewers and shabu-shabu skewers, so they could not be used to grill the skewers.

Zhu Yuanzhang took over and fried the skewers there for fun. It was a simple job. He fried the skewers and gave them to the guards. The guards did not waste much time in frying the skewers.

Zhu Wentian guessed Zhu Yuanzhang's thoughts and sent a large number of troops out to help make the previous arrangements and help people cultivate the land.

The army eats well, with meat for every meal and vegetables in winter.

For example, stir-fry Chinese cabbage with sliced ​​meat, add some vinegar and soy sauce, and add more soup. It is delicious when soaked in rice, and it is equally delicious when eaten with steamed buns.

The eggplants in the greenhouse are fried into sauced eggplant strips, add more minced garlic, dry sliced ​​eggplants are sandwiched with pork and green onion stuffing, wrapped in bread and fried into eggplant boxes...

After eating like this, everyone will be strong, and the food cannot be eaten in vain.

You must know that every ten days, the soldiers will be cooked for the braised pork they most look forward to, large pieces of pork belly, fried with rock sugar until the sugar color is brown, boiled over high heat, simmering over low heat, cooked in the morning, and eaten at noon...

When the people in Xiaqiu Village had just marinated the kebabs, picked them up and threaded some of them, Xu Da, Tang He, Feng Sheng, Li Wenzhong, Lan Yu and other generals came on horseback.

"What are you doing at home?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked with a smile.

"Your Majesty, you are drinking!" Han Zheng replied.

The others nodded. They happened to be drinking with their families that night, and they were called over just after eating.

Because no one brought them food today, their family came to do it and had to cook a lot of dishes. They were busy at this time.

"We have just had two bites of food. When it comes to important matters, I want you to come over and discuss it. Sit down! I will send you good things later. What do you want?"

Zhu Yuanzhang did not look embarrassed at all and invited everyone to take their seats.
