Villager of Daming

Chapter 917 Many problems and many ideas

The maids continued to sing and dance, while others ate roasted whole lamb. Those in Xiaqiu Village ate mutton skewers. There were also roasted whole lambs, but they only ate the outer layer. The further inside they became, the less delicious they became.

The officials watched and learned. There were many goats here, and they couldn't always eat them. It was very expensive.

Ever since Xiaqiu Village became rich, regardless of the small amount of money saved, it has become more and more particular about food. Zhu Wentian wished he could cook all the dishes, large and small, for the people in the village.

Since the main local officials needed to talk about things, the county magistrate Wang Shitong accompanied officials from six other prefectures in important positions.

People mainly drink beer, so they wear small skewers, which have a richer, seasoning flavor and are saltier, so they go with the wine.

The guards drank three ounces of white wine each, sipped in small sips, and ate meat in large gulps, dipping it into dry ingredients. The same was true for the craftsmen.

"Your Highnesses, the roads in this town are pretty good as there are royal families from all dynasties and generations coming to build buildings.

Only a part of the town is used to grow rice, and there is nothing else that can make people make money.

Most of the time, everyone grew their own food so that they could eat enough. They had no hope of selling it to anyone. People nearby could make their own mats.

Unless someone is too busy to make baskets, they can exchange some items with others. Some even ask for them directly from neighbors.

The clerk has read it all, and it can be used in agriculture, handicrafts, logistics, and agricultural planting and breeding.

Handicrafts need other people to buy them, and unless a businessman comes to collect them, they can't give you a higher price. "

Wang Shitong, the county magistrate, said that it was very difficult to develop the local economy. He could only let the people raise poultry and pigs depending on the conditions. Some people had no time to raise sheep.

People who have never raised sheep suddenly start raising sheep and don’t understand anything. They have to learn little by little.

The people from Xiaqiu Village and the four princes listened and nodded from time to time.

Wang Zhixian continued: "The sergeants who came here were of great help. The people became literate and collected the medicinal materials nearby, whether they were stone or grass.

Many prescriptions can indeed cure diseases, are simple and easy to use, and I sometimes follow them and benefit a lot.

At present, I hope that the department store will be built soon, and the house will be built after finishing farming.

The minister and the people also said that if you take the time to make more stuff, maybe once the store is closed, at least they won't bully us and lower the price. "

Zhu Wentian listened to the other party's words and was very satisfied and simple. He said what he wanted to say. It was useless to say other nice things now.

The team came here to solve the problem. The problem must be discovered first. The local officials concealed it and cheated the local people.

Zhu Fan then agreed: "Don't worry about department stores. They are not like businessmen who only pursue profits.

Its positioning is to regulate materials from various parts of the Ming Dynasty, reduce intermediate flow costs, and increase people's income from the production of local specialties and handicrafts.

It also lowers the purchase price of goods needed by other places. In the entire system, people with no land or little land will be arranged to do things to make money.

Where is the businessman! The court does not exclude or suppress people. If you have the ability, you can think of new ways out.

For example, if the department store needs a certain product, the merchant will organize local manpower to process it and then sell it to the department store.

In terms of logistics, businessmen are also involved and are responsible for the transportation and handover of goods on a certain section of the road.

For example, local vinegar is less available in other places, or the taste of vinegar is not good due to the influence of water sources and raw materials.

If merchants could arrange their own manpower to make vinegar, they would not need to find people to do it in department stores, which are short of manpower. "

Zhu Fan gave the idea that department stores are not monopolistic and are open. Anyone who wants to participate can come up with a solution. It can be at the terminal or in the middle, or even transport goods from county department stores to villages in the county for a certain fee.

"Your Highness, that's great. We have something, but we are worried about not being able to sell it. Although apricots and peaches are not as good as elsewhere, we can make them into preserves.

Some places don't grow grapes, but our raisins are willing to be sold as long as you pay them. It doesn't matter if you take a few bites less.

As long as the department store likes the others, we will sell them and exchange them for money, oh! Grain cannot be sold unless the yield is high enough for us to eat. "

Wang Zhixian became excited. It turned out that the department store was doing this. He thought it was just like other businessmen, but the court did not take any action and put the money earned by the businessmen into the court treasury.

From this point of view, department stores are more powerful than Changpingcang, which only sells when food prices are high or low.

If you change it to a department store, it can adjust the demand and prices in various places at any time. Who came up with this idea?

"Who thought it? Uh... Your Highness, which capable minister thought it?"

Wang Zhixian realized that his words were impolite, so he quickly adjusted himself and looked at the other party expectantly.

"There is no such thing as a minister. It would be great if I were a minister. Oh! It's actually better now. There is an expert in Xiaqiu Village. Don't ask, right?"

Zhu Fan waved his hand and said, "I don't mind. Everyone hopes to find this person. He is really awesome!"

"The main reason is that it's inconvenient to meet, otherwise we wouldn't dare to hide it." The head told the truth, it was indeed inconvenient.

All the officials finished their meal with puzzlement, especially Wang Zhixian. When they went back to rest, they were still mumbling about who was so powerful...

……

"How about Hanhan?" The resident followed Hanhan back to the tent, ready to continue eating. Hanhan could eat it.

"The grapes can be improved. Do they need to be sour to make wine, or should they be eaten sweet? The sourness is maintained like this, and the tannin content is high, so the wine is better.

If you want something sweet, it's easy. Everyone always eats eggs, duck eggs, and goose eggs. Use these eggshells as fertilizer to fertilize the grapevines, which will quickly make the grapes sweeter. This is phosphomethane.

As for pear trees, the local ones are not tasty. There is a kind of Qiuzi pear in Jurchen, which is also very sour.

But there is an advantage. If you freeze Qiuzi pears in winter, there will be saccharification and deacidification reactions.

Put it in cold water and remove the ice. If you eat it again, you will find that it is very sweet. The outer skin is black and the inner pear flesh is very white. "

Zhu Wentian said a lot, and this is the result of what he looked at one by one. He wanted to graft pear trees and grapes, and then adjusted them.

"Thank you for your hard work, Hanhan. It makes us feel sad to see you eating those sour tendrils." Li Chang breathed a sigh of relief. Sure enough, there was a way.

"Children like the sourness, especially when there is no fruit. They eat it as fruit, but they can't touch it if it's dead.

oops! There are also apricot trees. As the base tree, the apricot tree can be grafted with many things, such as plums and plums. Select the selected ones for grafting.

Finally, Maotao. In Quyang County, the seat of Taiping Prefecture, there is a place with good peaches, white peaches. When ripe, you can put a bamboo tube in it and drink it.

Graft it onto peach trees in other places, and the people will have another kind of fruit. It would also be good for us to use it for canning. "

Zhu Wentian thought of two things as he spoke, both of which were grafting. Local wild ones cannot be cut down. New species grow slowly, while grafted ones grow quickly.

Zhangba white peaches are famous for their good quality, and their sales are not bad.
