Villager of Daming

Chapter 925 The layout is different and the kiln has not been built yet

When the sun just jumped out of the horizon, the team officially set off, and everyone hadn't had breakfast yet!

The main reason is that I ate late last night and am not hungry yet. The distance from here to Qingyuan County is less than twenty miles. If we hurry up, we will be there in an hour.

There were already advance troops who ran over yesterday afternoon to set up camp and were waiting for everyone to arrive.

Several village chiefs followed, and they planned to find time to ask their colleagues about the trouble. This was all a troublesome thing thought up by the villagers.

Anyway, they feel that there is no way to solve it, unless they are willing to spend a lot of money, which is not worth the gain.

Even if you spend money, you shouldn't come out of your own village. If you really don't have money, it's best to ask in front of His Highness King Jin. The leader of your colleagues has no choice but to see if His Highness is willing to help?

The four princes and the people in Xiaqiu Village already know what the officials gathered together to talk about last night, and the opportunity to catch the sheep cannot be missed.

With the help of the river and the current, the horses and mules were rested, and the team rushed to the place in forty minutes. At least the princes arrived.

The team behind continued to move forward. There was no rice to be planted here, unlike Jinci Town. Even though there was no shortage of water in the local area, it was just not planted.

The wheat grown in Qingyuan County has a good terrain, half of it is mountains and half of it is plains. It is not Pingchuan County in Baiyin City, Gansu Province, but flat plains.

The large plain terrain is most suitable for mechanical equipment operations.

Zhu Wentian used a telescope to look at the surroundings. There was no need to worry about the mountains. There were many complex terrains in the mountains. He could only plant some crops to protect the soil, collect firewood, make baskets and other things.

Depending on what kind of mountain the fruit trees are, you can plant them on those that are relatively flat. If there are rocks and ditches, for the sake of people's personal safety, try not to ask them to pick the fruits after planting the fruit trees.

The Pingchuan area naturally grew wheat. He did not grow wheat at that time, but corn. He relied on this and soybeans. Due to the convenient transportation conditions, other vegetables were transported to Taiyuan City, so he only grew vegetables. There were greenhouses in winter. .

Corn is grown for feed. Not many people like to eat cornmeal, which is a coarse grain.

Local officials have positioned themselves well with this arrangement. What is the use of growing wheat? Corn can also be used to extract oil and make silage.

Therefore, people also raise large quantities of livestock and poultry, which is suitable for corn.

The other flat areas are all planted with fruits, one for local consumption and the other for external supply. The primary industry is developing well.

What really makes money is the secondary industry, mining, including the mining of iron ore and coal.

After mining, it is processed. Some of the coal is used as thermal coal, and some is used for coke and iron ore smelting.

Including further coal gas and chemical material extraction for use in medicine and food manufacturing.

That is to say, the local industrial chain and deep processing are particularly good, and real industrial wealth can be achieved.

It's not like some places where coal is mined and sold. When the coal is mined and no other industry is found, oh, there are coking equipment, but what's the use of that?

If there are no major policy changes, the industrial loss rate in the entire region will be very low.

In addition, there is real estate that needs to be done everywhere, building houses and selling houses. Taiyuan has all the building materials, and the quality is very good and the output is high.

Zhu Wentian recalled, considering... no reference is needed, it is not practical, and none of it is suitable for the current situation of Ming Dynasty.

If we want to develop industry, such a strong industrial structure is not feasible for the time being. We need to plan the place first and set aside space for supporting facilities.

There is no corn, so we can only grow wheat. The people have to eat first. There is no need to plant so many fruit trees, which is a waste of land.

On the other hand, there is no problem in breeding and planting soybeans and sorghum. There are two crops a year, one is cooked beans and the other is silage beans.

"Eat first, and then go watch the wheat harvest after eating. Let's cook something delicious for the local people today. After all, we come here once, and we want to be close to the people."

As the host, Zhu Fan asked everyone to wash their hands and eat. The so-called good food was fried food. People who came here last night bought noodles from the people, distributed them and put them in big oil pans for frying.

In addition, I also made tofu nao, which is actually old tofu. Compared with gypsum tofu, the yield of brine tofu is smaller and older.

But it's not the kind of old tofu that sells tofu. It's the kind of brine tofu that starts selling in the morning and sells it until the evening when a lot of water seeps out. That kind of tofu is the most cost-effective to buy by the pound.

However, those who sell tofu usually don't weigh and cut it into pieces. When pressing the tofu, the grid will leave a mark. Whether it is morning or evening, it will always be the same piece.

Even so, there are still many people buying it, and eating it has a different texture from soft tofu.

Now it's the tofu curd ordered with brine. It's best to make soy milk and is convenient for soaking fried dough sticks.

Treating the common people to a good meal, soy milk is not very good, and tofu is not always eaten by the common people. It is expensive.

Sure enough, the people from the entire county gathered together to see the breakfast being cooked, with smiles on their faces, waiting to eat.

"There's no meat in the braised pork?" Zhu Zhu, the youngest, looked at the braised tofu. There were fungus, carrots, eggs, and pine mushrooms in it, but they were gone.

After that, I used corn starch to hook it up, and added soy sauce to adjust the color. It looked pretty good, at least the fungus and mushrooms tasted good.

"The fried dough sticks are hard, without milk or eggs." Zhu Di saw that the fried dough sticks were not soft when they were served.

"Your Highness, there is one that was fried before and became soft after being put in a basket and covered. How about that one?"

A young steward in Prince Yan's Mansion thought his master disliked it, so there was someone there who had fried it first.

"No, that's it. Let's eat carefully so as not to break the roof of our mouth. Put out the side dishes and eat together." Zhu Di waved his hand.

Still following the original rules, the people from Xiaqiu Village surrounded them. Hanhan was in the most special position, with shelves and boxes like a bonfire placed beside him.

The people were then ordered to sit down. These tables and other items were temporarily borrowed from nearby places. If the number was not enough, they would eat.

Some people went to help in the fields, and some simply stuffed the fried dough sticks into the bowl of tofu buns, put some more on top, and ate while standing.

But this braised food is salty, it must be salty. Local people don’t have sweet braised noodles or noodles.

"What is missing here now?" Zhu Ping, as the oldest, asked.

"Your Highness, since we don't have enough time, we have no choice but to compact some of the ground that was originally used as a grain drying ground to make it as compact as possible.

The cement can be burned later, and the kiln should be built first. Then, several cement drying fields will be specially laid for each village to leave space for drainage.

When someone's family usually has something to do, they can also hold a banquet on the grain drying field.

If you are afraid of rain, build a shed... Let's help put up the frame first, and the other people will figure out their own solutions. "

Wang Yiqian is in charge of things here, harvesting wheat, and he brought his team over in advance to get machinery.

Cement doesn't just exist, it needs to be ground and burned. Let's deal with it now.

"Yeah! We built the cement plant before we left. We have to see the first batch of cement being burned." Zhu Fan nodded.

　No more today
