Villager of Daming

Chapter 914: Who respects the implementation of policies?

The local people were humming Xintianyou at this moment, exchanging rice with husks for flour without husks, one pound for two pounds, oh! Is it a dream?

The people from the palace weighed the food with guards, calculated the quantity, and gave it to the people for free.

Some people are anxious and want to see flour. This year they don’t have to worry about food before the rice harvest. Instead of eating rice, they will eat noodles.

The rice sacks are made of jute, and ramie is used for clothes. Ramie is not as rough as jute.

The flour is placed in cloth bags, and Xiaqiu Village provides a small technology, the sealing machine, which has a trick when opening the flour bags. It can be opened a little, and all of them will fall out with one pull.

The people wanted to see the flour, and the guards helped open a bag. According to the current weight, a bag is ten kilograms, which is easy to carry, but it is fifty kilograms heavy.

"Is this noodles? Why are they so white?" The bag was opened. The anxious person first looked in and then shouted in surprise.

The people nearby don't leave him alone, but it's the same for everyone who comes to see him!

"Bai, my God! How did you grind it?"

"His Royal Highness Prince Jin is at a disadvantage! Is this noodles for people to eat?"

"How did it turn white? Why can't my family make it white?"

"Should you harvest the wheat and put it in the house quickly? It will turn black if exposed to too much sun?"

"You put it in the house and it sprouted. Why don't you harvest rice and wheat in the sun?"

The people were very curious when they saw the white flour and didn't know how it was ground. They were all ground with millet. Others' flour was white and their own was gray.

"Master Jun, why did your face turn white?" Some people couldn't help but asked the palace guard.

The guard didn't hide it either: "We use a special flour grinding machine to peel off the skin layer by layer. This is flour with 30% of the ingredients removed. It's called Qi0 flour.

There are also those that remove 20%, called 80% powder, and those that remove 15%, called 85% powder.

You grind it with a mill, and it’s all included directly. It’s called whole wheat flour, and the flour is naturally not white. "

"What kind of thing can be used to grind it like that? What is the size of the grinder?" Some people wanted to find out.

"It's not a grinder, it's a sleeve. There are holes in the sleeve. Do you know the fishing net? The big holes can't catch small fish. The holes are different in size, so the wheat grains are ground down layer by layer.

The same goes for rice. It doesn't just take off the husk, it also needs to be ground. The rice we eat is germ rice, but the ones sold are polished rice, which looks very white and is expensive. Others eat brown rice.

It just lacks a roller-mounted grinding tool. In the future, when we have more resources in Daming, we can have a dedicated place for grinding rice and noodles.

Now that we have brought such tools, I don’t think anyone would be willing to ask for 70-year-old powder or polished rice. "

The guards at least know this and don't keep it secret from them. When they eat white noodles, they will also ask, why is it so white?

The people around him barely understood, and many frowned.

"Master, where did the rest of the white flour go after grinding it?" The people thought of the non-white part, who would eat it?

"That one is called secondary powder. It can be used to make vinegar, and it can also be made into black bread with a very bad taste.

But we bought and ground it along the way, and all the remaining powder was used to make extruded pellet feed for horses and mules.

They need good food and are in a hurry. If they don't eat well, their speed will be affected. If they eat extruded feed, the animals won't have stomachaches. "

The guard knew that the people thought it was a waste, but he still said it would be a pity to feed the army and horses.

If made into black bread, it can be given to the poor, hard, black and sour. "What is bread?" Some people are curious.

"It's like steamed buns. The steamed buns are steamed and the bread is baked. I'll go find someone to ask if there's enough time to bake the brown bread. The dough needs to be fermented first."

The sergeant has never eaten black bread, but he has only heard of this kind of bread. He has eaten normal bread, which is fragrant. The bread with eggs and milk is white and soft.

The four princes ignored such trivial matters. They rode horses and followed the team around the paddy field. The equipment was moved over and prepared for transplanting, so that the people could free up their hands to do other things. There were craftsmen on the rice transplanter responsible for placing the rice.

The paddy field is now full of water. Use hemp rope to stretch the line and plant the rice seedlings according to the line. This way, the transplanted rice seedlings will be neat and conducive to nutrient absorption and light.

"The level is no longer useful. There is an irrigation canal next to it. You can tell how the fields are growing by seeing how the water flows."

The chief saw the situation with his own eyes and found that he didn't need any tools to measure the terrain. There was water, and according to the flow of the water, he still couldn't figure out where was high and where was low?

Zhu Wentian knows the situation best. This place can be turned into a paddy field. For a period of time, there were more than 20,000 acres of rice planted locally.

Later, the rice could not be sold at a good price. With Northeastern rice competing, people began to grow corn. The yield of corn was high, and corn was needed to raise livestock and poultry.

Rice straw is not suitable for feeding livestock and poultry, but corn straw is fine.

With the rapid exchange of information, some people deliberately promoted Jinci rice, and Jinci began to increase the area of ​​paddy fields.

In today's Ming Dynasty, as long as Jinci rice is used as tribute, the price will inevitably skyrocket.

As for whether something is a tribute, Xiaqiu Village says yes, it must be, and if it is not, it must be. If you don’t believe it, I will make fried rice for you and try it to see if it smells good?

The spring water and rice varieties here have always been selected and tasted good. Later, they were polluted and the spring water was destroyed. The rice varieties were designed to produce high yields, but the taste was much worse.

Nowadays, all crops are organic, and it’s impossible not to think of them as organic.

"Can such a big place be dug out?" When it was almost noon, everyone took a look at the area on horseback. The village leader gave an answer. Zhu Fan looked at the simple map and asked and recalled the location where he had just wandered.

"It can be reclaimed for up to five days. Soybeans are planted in the newly reclaimed land, and the land is cultivated. After harvesting the soybeans, it is plowed in the winter with fermented soybean pods and straw mixed with other farmyard manure.

It needs to be plowed shallowly, and deeply plowed during reclamation. Sorghum is also planted, and silage can be made before it matures. The silage can be converted into fertilizer at any time.

Silage itself is an incompletely fermented feed used to feed ruminant livestock. It can be used as fertilizer after fermentation.

Green soybeans are also very fragrant when used to cook edamame. The current wine and food are good and suitable for all ages. What do you think, Your Highness? "

The manager didn't say to go do it immediately and ask the owner.

Zhu Fan had no opinion. He begged his grandfather and grandma to let the elite team from Xiaqiu Village come with him to enclose the land. Naturally, they would do whatever they said. Otherwise, why would they come here?

"Then just follow what the chief said. Father sent a telegram back and told us to listen to what the chief said. No matter what... we just have to listen to what we don't understand. Yes, that's what I mean."

Zhu Fan directly agreed and organized words to summarize his father's words. The organization was not good for a while.

"What you can understand must be implemented, and what you cannot understand must be understood during execution?" The director remembered Hanhan's words and said it smoothly.

Hanhan can always say such things, which is very interesting and at the same time very strong and domineering.

Zhu Fan's eyes widened: "Yes, that's what it means. Let's remember it. From now on...hehehehehe..."

Magistrate Guo Jinglan and others were nearby, their eyes widened collectively: "..."
