Da Tang: Three days later, I was frantically collecting supplies

Chapter 150 Greenhouse Vegetables.

“Your Highness, you are home!”

“Forber?”

Li Kei was stunned for a moment, and forgot about this old fellow.

“Your Highness still remembers the old slave, and the old slave is deeply honored. Is His Highness coming back for the New Year or is there something to do? ”

Li Ji smiled and said, “Of course, I came back for the New Year, and I don’t feel at home in Liaoshun.” ”

Forber knew that since he was coming back for the New Year, he was bound to live for a few months.

“Just come back, just come back, old slave, let people prepare meals.”

So Forber turned around and went to arrange for someone to prepare today’s meal.

Li Kei also rushed all the way, and he hasn’t eaten much today. Just hungry.

After a while, the clothes and meals were ready on the table. To Li Ke’s surprise, there were vegetables. Oil wheat, roasted eggplant, scrambled eggs with tomato…….

“Forber, what’s going on with this vegetable?”

Fu Bo smiled and said, “Your Highness, after you left, the old slave carefully took care of the vegetables in the backyard. It’s just that the vegetables don’t bear fruit to a certain extent, and they have to be pulled. ”

When the old slave saw these vegetables, he remembered the scene of His Highness in Yizhou.

Later, the old slave thought to himself, after having a stove, can you grow vegetables as long as it is not cold?

So, when it was cold, the old slave planted vegetables again, and found someone to build a shed for the vegetable garden, and the roof was covered with glass.

“I never thought that this idea would really become a reality. These vegetables have survived when it is cold, and there are vegetables to eat in the winter. ”

Li Kei suddenly realized.

I hadn’t even thought about this kind of thing, but I didn’t expect to let an old slave experiment with greenhouse vegetables. It’s embarrassing.

“Your Highness, there are too many of these dishes, and the manpower in our house has also been taken away by His Highness. These dishes can’t eat one-tenth at all, and it just so happens that the steam engine factory often goes to Chang’an to deliver steam engines, so the old slave adds some weight to the steam engine every three to five and covers it with a quilt,”

Send it to the palace.

“Your Majesty can still eat vegetables every day when it’s cold, and he has always praised His Highness’s heart!”

“You say, these fathers and emperors all think that it was sent by King Ben?”

Fubo nodded: “Yes, Your Highness, these vegetables are originally yours.” The materials for this greenhouse were also obtained by the old slaves from the glass factory. Thanks to Mr. Zhao Rui’s help. ”

“The old slave can’t afford to bear such a big credit.”

“Then thank you Forber.”

Li Kei didn’t expect it.

It is also rare that this old slave can still do something good for himself.

But think about it, although this slave is doing things in his own house, his allegiance is still Li Shimin. Sending something to the palace is to honor Li Shimin, there is no fuss.

It’s just that I didn’t take credit and pushed the credit to myself, which is beautiful.

“Husband, it turns out that vegetables can also be grown in winter, why don’t we encourage the people to get more greenhouses, and the people can also eat vegetables in winter?”

“Concubine Ai is right. It’s just that the people don’t have spare money to build greenhouses, and they need so much glass for windows, and the consumption is too high. ”

Wang Yurou smiled: “The husband’s words are bad.” This year’s cotton production is very high, and the people of Yizhou have made a lot of money. ”

“You can harvest hundreds of dollars per acre of land at will, and we have produced a lot of rich people in Yizhou this year!”

“Is it that profitable?”

Li Kei was taken aback.

Then I thought that fabric could be spent as money in this era, and seemed to have figured it out. Yes, scarce is expensive.

Although the cotton yield is very high, it is only grown in a large area in this small area of Yizhou, so the cotton of the entire Datang is still very scarce. It’s no surprise to sell at a high price.

It’s just that the people just have a little money, which encourages them to build greenhouses to grow greenhouse vegetables. That’s a bit of wool, right?

Although growing vegetables is not like growing food, one is hundreds of acres.

But growing vegetables requires a lot of water, there must be a well, a steam engine pump, and several stoves to ensure the indoor temperature. The consumption is not small.

Under this greenhouse, the money consumed can basically spend this year’s income. As for those vegetables that were harvested, that’s it.

It’s better to eat meat!

This is the Tang Dynasty, which is different from modern times.

There is no such thing as nutritional balance, and the problem of eating has not been completely solved.

……

When the price of a pound of vegetables and a pound of meat is similar, which pen will buy vegetables?

Thinking of this, Li Kei shook his head: “Forget it, it’s not easy for the people to make some money.” It is too expensive to promote this, and the people may not accept it. ”

Wang Yurou smiled.

“My husband is really considerate of the people! The people will not grow so much, as long as there are three points of land, it is enough for the whole family to eat, basically enough. ”

“Although the people spend tens of dollars to build a shed, but it can be used for many years, there should be no one who does not want to eat vegetables all winter without spending money.”

Luo Die also said: “Yes, husband, the people plant vegetables in the spring, and it almost costs nothing to eat vegetables. If they can eat vegetables that cost no money in winter, the people will be willing to make them. ”

.00 Moreover, if there are more of them, they can also be preserved, and the vegetables in winter are placed in a lukewarm place, and presumably in summer, they are not easy to spoil.

Li Kei smiled bitterly. It is worthy of the Great Tang.

Everything is still based on agriculture.

Moreover, each family is not large, you only need to draw your own water to pour it, and you don’t need a steam engine pump at all.

“Okay, if you want to promote it, let’s promote it.” Ben Wang asked the glass factory to make some models and fire them suitable for the shape of the greenhouse. ”

So, Li Kei came to Yizhou and did not stop.

There is also a brick burning factory in Yizhou.

The people all know the original King of Shu, and now the King of Zhenyuan wants to promote greenhouse vegetable cultivation, and they all raise their hands in favor. No one doubted Li Ke’s credibility.

Although take out tens of dollars to buy bricks and glass. But the things bought were all kept in their own homes, and no one felt a loss. It’s cold, but it’s not freezing yet.

So every family began to build small greenhouses, or flower houses, in their yards. In just a dozen days, many families have built greenhouses.

According to the rules of Li Ke’s house, vegetables were planted and a coal stove was lit.

In order to make it warmer, some families have moved their kitchens into greenhouses, and they have saved the house with a lot of smoke. When a month later, fresh vegetables grew in the yard, and the people laughed and blossomed.

Being able to grow vegetables in winter is something I couldn’t have imagined before!
