Villager of Daming

Chapter 913 Rice and wheat have different prices depending on the location

The princes did not wear formal attire or official uniforms, they all wore regular clothes with no special signs and were mainly comfortable.

When they got to the shore, people gathered with their families to watch! Who is it? For what?

The area of ​​​​the area is quite large, and its name is based on Ji Xie, the son of Ji Yu, the younger brother of King Zhou Cheng.

Such a place, no matter how many wars were fought in the past dynasties, would not deliberately destroy it. Each dynasty would even expand the area and add temples, courtyards and so on.

Now the Ming Dynasty built the Yuhua Temple here, added the Xianweng Pavilion, and consecrated the Holy Mother. This is the real Holy Mother, not another meaning of the Holy Mother.

According to records, during the Sui Dynasty, a stupa was built in the southwest of the temple because Jinshui is a tributary of Fenshui and that one is a spring.

Then we planted rice. How much area did we plant? It's quite difficult to calculate. The circumference of a circle is forty-one miles. The word "hui" should be a square. The circumference of a square is forty-one miles. Can't it be forty miles? The side length is ten miles, which is just right. One mile has to be divided into four parts, 02.5, and we have to calculate the number of miles in the Sui Dynasty.

Continuing to check the information, in the Sui Dynasty, one mile was equivalent to 530 meters, and the side length was 4.25 miles, which was 2252.5 meters.

The area of ​​a square is the side length times the side length, which is 5,073,756.25 meters. One square kilometer is one million square meters, which is equivalent to 5.73 square kilometers. Calculate this I'm so tired!

At present, the acres of Ming Dynasty are almost...

Forget it, it's meaningless. It's so big anyway, and the yield per mu is not much different. 614.4 square meters is about the same as 666.7 square meters.

Of course, buying a house with such a big difference won’t work, and adding a public share won’t work either.

There were people watching, and the village chiefs from each village naturally followed here to watch the excitement, and then they found that they met someone they knew, an official from Taiyuan County.

This is a high-level existence, why do you stand at the end? Who are those in front?

Before the village chiefs could come forward to ask, someone from Taiyuan County had already gone over to tell them.

Soon the news spread, and the people put down their tools and did not kneel. The eunuch shouted not to kneel, and those who had rice at home were given flour. The ground flour was very white, not gray.

In a one-to-two exchange, one pound of husked rice is exchanged for two pounds of white flour.

The people smiled instantly and made money! Make a lot of money! Your Highness, King Jin, is great!

The four brothers Zhu Xi, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di, and Zhu Tie did not feel that they were at a disadvantage. Generally speaking, rice is more expensive than wheat, and the yield is different.

The yield per mu of rice is higher than that of wheat if it is not hulled, but not if it is hulled. The proportion of rice husk is higher than that of wheat bran.

In addition, when the oil is not squeezed out of the rice husk, it is rice bran oil, or rice oil.

In this way, rice husk is not as effective as wheat bran. People can eat wheat bran, but how to eat rice husk? The rice husks are prickly, so fermentation and feeding to pigs are barely enough, just barely.

Wheat bran is fed to all livestock and poultry, including bamboo rats and rabbits. Rice husk is not suitable. If rice husk is used as a pillow, it will irritate people, but wheat bran will not irritate.

Another point is that rice is planted here only once a year. After planting, the land is idle and nothing else can be planted. There is rice stubble.

After wheat is planted, even without plowing, soybeans can still be planted on the stubble, just cut the stubble lower.

Wheat is winter wheat and is harvested in summer, while rice is harvested when the weather is very cold. How much can be grown? It’s not like Jiangnan harvested rice and rushed to plant rapeseed and ramie.

The husk is a part, as well as straw and wheat straw. Rice straw is not as good as wheat straw for feeding livestock, whether it is horses, cattle, sheep, or pigs. Rice straw is worse than wheat straw.

Straw can also be used to make mats, which is cheap and practical, but wheat straw cannot.

But when it comes to braided mats, sorghum is better. Generally, the mats used in the northeast and north are made of sorghum strips, especially in the northeast, which are called kang mats.

If something needs a large temperature difference, long sunshine, and a small yield per acre, if it can still have its existence value, it must be the taste, so it is expensive. The key is that there are too few rice farmers here. Just like Shandong during Zhu Wentian's time, rice is much more expensive than steamed buns. It was not until the logistics was improved that the balance was finally achieved.

Before various online platforms and express delivery other than postal services, eating a bowl of rice could buy four steamed buns that were as big as each other, yes, that big.

At present, Taiyuan Prefecture is the only place that produces rice, and the output is limited. Rice has been planted one after another. People still have grain stored in their homes. When the frost comes after autumn, the people will not have much stored grain in hand, and they are ready to harvest rice.

We are still very prosperous now. If we switch to a flour shop, the flour can be stored for half a year. The people think it is the Chinese New Year.

"The roads are well built. You have worked hard, and I cannot treat you badly.

The royal court will give you a salary. I cannot give you a salary increase, but I can give you a bonus.

When the people's income increases, we don't say how much tax we will collect. We will use some money from our business to give you bonuses that are twice your salary. "

Zhu Fan began to promise that after feeding the officials, if the officials continued to cause trouble and killed them if they did not go against their will, they would be damned!

If you look at the Imperial City of Nanjing, you will understand how hard the officials worked. It was really the father who gave too much.

The salary of eating the emperor, being loyal to the emperor, the salary set by the official himself, the father's bonus and benefits combined have increased more than five times.

"Thank you, Your Highness!" It was Magistrate Guo who spoke first.

"Thank you, Your Highness!" Others agreed, and then felt a lot of pressure.

"Don't look like you can't live, what? Wu Qi is a general? He fights and makes people fight, and he will die directly. I give you more money. Do you think you have to be greedy? So you think I will give you more money?" If there are too many, you will die miserably?"

Seeing that everyone's expressions were not very good, Zhu Fan threatened, give me a smile, otherwise...

When we give you money, it’s not like Wu Qi is helping the sergeant suck the sores. Instead, we are forcing the sergeant to die. When we give you money, it’s okay if you don’t be greedy!

"Your Highness, we are moved, not sad."

It was Magistrate Guo who spoke out for his colleagues again, but he couldn't afford to take the blame.

Wu Qi just helped a soldier suck the poisonous gangrene, that is, a soldier went to fight to the death. Now we are given so much, we made a mistake, and the whole family will be unlucky.

Other officials continued to echo, afraid!

Those who have local troops, including those in Datong Prefecture, have not yet changed their uniforms and use their original weapons, cold weapons and firecrackers.

Look at the team of four princes again, what kind of guns are those? The morale of the army is different. The palace guards feel like they are looking forward to fighting.

"Let's go. The crab catcher doesn't know how many crab pots were put in last night."

Zhu Fan didn't want to say any more. He went to Jinci Temple to go through the procedures first. He had to follow the etiquette, but he didn't need to bathe or change clothes.

I am so busy that I don’t have time to do those things, including not eating meat for three days and incense. What should I do if I get sick if I don’t eat meat and lack nutrition?

The team changed to a land route, and for about an hour, some people who were nearby were waiting in front, with sacks of rice beside them to exchange for rice.

When singing, it’s like changing to big~meters, changing to big~meters, changing to~big~meters~~! Change to rice!

The tune of the folk song Xintianyou in northern Shaanxi is called Shanqu in Shanxi, and the style is the same. If replaced by a large area in the south of the Yangtze River, it is jasmine.

　No more today!
