Villager of Daming

Chapter 947 Proposal Rejected Look North

"Zhu Lichang, is it true that we cannot grow ginger in Loufan Town?"

While eating fish, Wang Hushou saw a lot of ginger in the fish. He wanted to plant it, but transporting ginger was expensive.

"The climate is not suitable, and it's not necessarily a matter of cold. The Dingliao capital is located at a higher latitude than our current location. People have enough sunshine and warm summers, so they can grow ginger, and ginger is particularly good.

The rest is Shandong, Henan, and around our village. Sichuan is also OK, and Guangzhou is also no problem.

In addition to the two lakes area, further west is Yunnan. The most special one is Dingliao Duwei. The local sauce is pretty good!

We should work hard to develop the advantages of water transportation here, such as dredging, flood prevention, transportation manufacturing, passing economy, etc.!

The price of ginger shipped from Henan is lower than the cost of growing it locally, so why bother growing it yourself? "

The manager persuaded the other party and told them not to take advantage of others, as the cost would be high and there was no point in doing so.

As for why Dingliao Duwei had better local ginger, Hanhan said that the ginger in his village was no worse than that in Shandong.

Especially now, we need to plant well and use various methods to improve the growing environment of ginger. When the time comes, we can take it to Shandong to make seeds.

I also brought the selected ginger from Shandong and compared it to see if different places are suitable for the growth of varieties from other places.

"Buy it! The local area is suitable for industrial development, but agriculture is really unprofitable."

Wang Hushou wanted to give up growing ginger. He understood that if there was even a slight possibility, Xiaqiu Village would not dissuade him.

Then the meat skewers came up, beef skewers and mutton skewers. The sheep were bought from Yangqu County. I passed by and bought live ones. The cattle were also bought dead from there.

There was an old cow that suddenly fell down while plowing and never got up again. The owner couldn't dig a hole and bury the cow. They had to find someone to bleed it first and then transport it to the market for sale.

Including this cow, there are a total of six cows today. One cow was sold in advance, and the remaining five were bought by the ship behind and brought here.

Part of the meat is used for cooking, the meat skewers are also considered vegetables, and part of the meat is stuffed to make siomai tomorrow morning. There are few people in the team and there are few villagers, so it is enough for everyone to eat two meals.

Either make wontons in the morning, have soup, and eat them less dry, then steam the siomai at noon. If there is not enough beef, kill the sheep.

Or go to the mountains to find wild boars and eliminate them for the people. Anyway, the people can have meat to eat. The wild boar meat should be treated well and it will not smell fishy.

The steam generator buzzed, and so did the popcorn popper machine. The sorghum rice bought from Yangqu County was puffed by the machine and turned into big sticks.

Zhu Xi ate a mutton skewer and looked at Wang Hushou: "Will you take everyone up the mountain to plant elm trees today?"

"Your Highness, it's an elm tree. It's a small sapling found next to a big elm tree. Since the big tree blocks the sun, the small sapling won't grow big even after three or four years. So we just dig it out and move it to a better place.

A batch of elm trees were sown with seeds last autumn. When they are three years old, they can be transplanted.

The children were starving and had no food to eat. In the spring, there were elm money. They picked it off, mixed it with noodles, and steamed buns to eat.

There is a drought in the summer, but there are few droughts here. Fortunately, those near the river can still get some water for irrigation.

It is still easy to flood now. The floods rush one area at a time, and the water on the mountains gathers together.

We didn't understand it before. Anyway, you can grind the elm bark into powder and eat it. The more you eat, the thinner you will become. Eat the elm leaves together.

The most I can eat now is elm money. We plan to sell the elm bark for money, just like honey.

There is honey locally, and there are several beekeepers who specialize in raising it. We will teach them how to raise it better. This year we will expand the scale and harvest more bees.

In terms of industry, it is smelting. The coal in the town is better than that in ordinary places. Is there a picture of it? The one we found felt too small. "

Wang Hushou talked about what happened when he was a child, and then talked about his plans. When he was a child, he had little knowledge, it was just his feelings. Now he has learned a lot, and he can analyze and understand the principles.

"It's up to your Majesty the King of Jin." The chief responded, turned around to get the map, and gave it to Zhu Fan.

It was impossible for him to directly bypass Zhu Fan and make the decision. He should stick to his duties and don't drift. "Here you go, let's take a look first, then find someone to draw a copy later. Can you draw?"

Zhu Fan was accustomed to the chief's behavior, so he respected the chief more and more.

"Well... Your Highness, I..." Wang Hushou looked shy.

"Some people are born with painting. If you are not born good at it, we won't force it on you, but you must be able to learn military maps. Practice more and let's ask the palace maid to paint it for you! Our Xiao Cui, our Xiao Cui is pretty good."

Zhu Fan looked like he understood the other party, made a request, and let it slip by the way. Apparently he had a better relationship with Xiaocui from his house.

The people around seemed like they didn't think carefully. This palace maid is quite normal! Even this child, His Highness King Wu, he...

The King of Qin, Zhu Xi, does not have a princess, which does not mean that he does not have a woman. In fact, it would be fine if he has a child, but the title of princess cannot be given to him.

Xiaqiu Village gave things to everyone, but no one had children, otherwise it would be difficult in the future. The eldest son was a concubine, and the legitimate son was more important. The eldest son was also a human being.

If there is an eldest son, the other concubines can live well.

The prince Zhu Biao and the palace maid have a child, a boy, and in front is Zhu Xiongying. The boy has no pressure, everyone will take care of him, and the princess likes him as well.

If it were a time when the princess was not accepted, a boy would come out, that would be it! Identity is so important.

Xiaocui was beside him, silent, only responsible for pouring beer.

"What else are you thinking about in the future?" Zhu Fan changed the topic as if he was guilty of treason.

"Your Highness, I am thinking about making pottery to sell. Is there any good glaze? If there is any, I would like to make porcelain. The local coal has a high calorific value."

Wang Hushou was unwilling to miss any opportunity and thought that developing the secondary industry, ceramics was also an industrial aspect.

"No, we don't need ceramics in Loufan Town. Every place has advantages over this." The head of the village objected.

"Now there is a kiln, and the people in the four villages have utensils at their homes, so they are the first to do so." Wang Hushou still wants to fight for it.

"It's useless. How to increase production capacity? Unless we use large machinery to turn the hills into plains and add explosives to blast them.

In fact, there is another way, which is not available now. It is to build a reservoir, which can generate electricity, breed animals, and adjust the use of surrounding water resources.

There were nine droughts in the past ten years, but with the big reservoir, it doesn’t matter whether there is a drought or not, let’s do it in the future! It's early!

The downstream needs water, and a reservoir is built to block the Fen River. How can the upstream and downstream communicate?

Unless railways and good land roads are built, you can build reservoirs and give up the convenience of water transportation. "

The mayor has no intention of compromising. If it doesn't work, it just won't work. As Hanhan said, building a reservoir will solve a lot of problems.

At the same time, transportation has been cut off. Currently, we are counting on the Fen River to reach Ningwuguan in the north, and then build a land road or railway to connect to the Huihe River north of Guanlui Mountain in Ningwuguan.

The Gray River is connected to the Sanggan River, and the Sanggan River is connected to the canal and other rivers, and then enters the sea, such as the Marco Polo River.

"Is there any other way out?" Wang Hushou no longer cares about etiquette and stared at the question. This is his hometown where he grew up.

"For smelting and deep processing, Ningwuguan is to the north, and Datong Prefecture is to the north.

The grasslands need more steel, especially finished products. We have open-pit iron mines, and transportation to the south is not competitive. We can go north!

Mokanhelin is a vast and sparsely populated place, rich in resources, and the imperial court must occupy it. You provide good weapons and tool-making materials, eh! "

The commander stopped as he spoke, revealing enough information.

　No more today!
