Villager of Daming

Chapter 902 Time is not urgent and fine service

Boats came and went, key people crossed the river, and along the way, they saw people gleaning wheat.

"Has the harvest started yet?" Zhu Fan pursed his lips, looking sad.

"Your Highness, your Highness, don't be anxious. The local wheat is indeed harvested first by those in Taiyuan, and also harvested by those in Huayin. For those at the same latitude, we in Taiyuan will have to wait a few days.

What's more, the equipment has passed, the harvest has been completed here, the land has been plowed, the equipment has also passed, and then soybeans and sorghum are cut for silage, and winter wheat is planted.

We cannot grow crops twice a year, but at most three crops every two years. We can grow some other miscellaneous beans, such as millet, highland barley, mung beans, and red beans. "

The head of the village quickly comforted him, don't get sick again. Taiyuan Prefecture is not Shandong. After planting wheat, you can still plant soybeans and sorghum to harvest finished products.

After harvesting the wheat in Taiyuan, they then plant something, either vegetables or harvested before they are ripe.

Either plant Chinese cabbage, radishes, carrots, and green onions, or later on, plant onions for harvest next year. Just like winter wheat, other land is needed for planting, and we cannot compete with the staple food.

Or you can plant ginger after harvesting wheat, so you can buy some time and then plant wheat again. Anyway, you can’t have two crops of staple food a year because there is no climate to support it.

The same applies to Yanchi. You either have to plant wheat and vegetables in rotation, or you have to delay the wheat production for the second year. Generally, you choose to plant small grains to keep up with the fertilizer.

The latitude of Yanchi is relatively high, higher than that of Taiyuan, and the wheat harvest time is earlier, usually half a month earlier, so small grains can grow well.

Growing small grains in Taiyuan depends on the weather. If there is frost early before harvest, wheat straw must be lit in the field to smoke and the smoke will wash away the frost.

This is a real fight with God, and people and officials must be mentally prepared.

I was really afraid, so I planted vegetables. I dug a vegetable cellar in winter and stored the vegetables there. I could eat them until the end of spring the next year, when the big radishes turned into chaff.

Yanchi, that is, Yuncheng is the best place to fight, and the probability of success is high. Taiyuan... Isn't it good to raise livestock? Pigs can also eat unripe beans and sorghum.

"It's better to have Yingtian Mansion. It's too easy to have two crops a year. Why are our people so miserable?

Part of it is planting vegetables, and part of it is looking at luck. If you are lucky, you will harvest the mature ones. If you are not lucky, you will cut silage.

The key point is that in winter there is little water in the Yellow River and it cannot be navigable. Otherwise, we would grow vegetables and sell them to other places to make money.

When we become a vassal, we will build tens of thousands of acres of greenhouses, and we can only use them to fight against the sky.

Xiaqiu Village is amazing! In previous dynasties, there were cases of growing vegetables in winter, next to hot springs, or burning fire roads in the Song Dynasty, which were only supplied to the royal family. "

Zhu Fan complained for a while, then turned around and praised Xiaqiu Village for its amazing vegetable greenhouses! You can eat cherries in Xiaqiu Village in winter.

Zhu Xi then said: "Third brother An Xin, I brought you glass this year, and there will be a greenhouse soon, so that the people in your fief can eat cucumbers, eggplants, lettuce and other things in winter, and there will be no shortage of watermelons and cantaloupes."

Zhu Fan smiled and said: "We will sell it to the people at a cheaper price. We have thought about it. We require that we buy according to our household registration. We are not allowed to rob. Depending on the output, a family is only allowed to buy as much as they want.

Let’s go to the Yanchi in Jiezhou now, and then all the way to Taiyuan Prefecture? Is it easy to travel by land? "

"No, Your Highness, we can't leave. We have to walk north along the Yellow River, and then follow the river when we reach Fenshui.

Now directly facing the Wulaofeng mountain range, there are mountains on this side, and slightly to the northeast are Zhongtiao Mountain and Jishen Mountain.

With the ability of our team, we can go over mountains and ridges, but we waste time and follow the river and pass by Purple Mountain.

Your Highness, why not look at the map? If you have a map, take a car now. There are always wars and preparations here, and the road along the Yellow River is flat. "

As the chief said, he asked people to get the map. Everyone sat in the car. The more war-torn places, the better the roads.

The road conditions from Lantian County to Chang'an are good, as are the roads near Beipingxing Province, not to mention Nanjing, Luoyang and Kaifeng.

The map unfolded, Zhu Fan pointed at the route skillfully with his finger, and frowned: "It's still so far away! It's nearly a thousand miles, let's walk two hundred miles a day, right?" "Okay, Your Highness, the machine has actually been delivered to the place. , everything comes in time.

Let’s go faster now. After arriving at the place, we have to look around to see the topography and the distribution of people’s residences.

We will make arrangements based on the specific situation later. Otherwise, why would Your Highness ask the people in the village to come here with you? "

The commander agreed to march for nearly a hundred kilometers a day. Wherever there is a river, there is no need to worry about it. A lot of baggage is transported through the waterway.

On land, horses and mules pull carts, carry people, and carry a few things. According to the endurance of the animals, the total walking time is ten hours a day, ten kilometers an hour.

The main thing is that all the animals that come with us are good, and they have been picked over and over again.

If it is not a field trip, the local officials have a book. Follow the book and see which module is suitable, and then just put together the modules.

His Royal Highness, Prince Jin, does not want that kind of thing. He wants accurate positioning and VIP-level guidance services that are meticulous, precise and scientific...

Then the time on the road should be shortened, and then the on-the-spot inspection would be carried out and a plan would be given. This kid also had a hard time getting to such a place as the king of Tibet.

It's not that Taiyuan Prefecture is bad, but the resource utilization rate is low and transportation is restricted. Otherwise, it would be rich enough with coal.

Land transportation is poor and costly, and waterways are seasonal, unlike the Yangtze River.

The fourth child is next to the Bohai Bay, so you can just take the sea route.

"The hard work has come a long way. I was busy planning the pontoon last night." Zhu Fan said sheepishly.

When he got up in the morning, the village chief gave Zhu Xi a copy of the construction drawings of the pontoon bridge. One copy was a pile of dozens of drawings.

All four of them knew that the master had drawn it first, and then the chief had followed the drawing, so they didn't have to sleep all night.

Now I have other things to worry about, which is naturally hard work. I don’t have to come to Xiaqiu Village, because Xiaqiu Village is Prince Village.

"It is much easier than digging for food in the fields before. Only those who have been hungry understand the thoughts of other people who are afraid of starvation. People will not bow to God if they have the means."

The chief waved his hand, "You're welcome, God doesn't believe in tears, so let's beat God to tears. Yes, beat him to tears!"

"Well said, the people under our rule will not bow their heads! Hurry! Rush~~~"

Zhu Fan was happy. The team was organized and moved quickly up the Yellow River. When they reached Fenshui, they turned around and moved along Fenshui.

The boat behind finally brought a net of fish and threw it on the shore for the people to pick up.

So the people lined up in several lines, went to the fish pile, picked out one or two fish, picked the gills of the fish, went to the side to find long grass or willow branches, put them on and took them home.

No one added anything, and no one took more. At most, two smaller ones were enough, and one larger one was enough. The holes in the fishing net were too big to catch the small ones.

The people of the Ming Dynasty still have a conscience. They abide by the rules of human nature and stick to the bottom line when life and death are not involved.

I won't rush in and grab it, and I won't take a lot by myself, and then act arrogantly like I'll go to the government officials if anyone dares to touch me.

Of course, if someone really comes to the Yamen, such a person is guaranteed to be punished, because the law enforcement department enforces the law.

The early Ming Dynasty was not an era when law enforcement officers failed to enforce the law and people ignored morality, no!
