Chapter 350: Medicinal materials can be planted and given to the land, first update
"Planting rice seedlings!" It was dawn, and with the shouts of Zhu Wentian's friends, everyone went to the ground to plant rice seedlings.
Ropes were stretched in the paddy field. Everyone rolled up their trouser legs and went to the field with bare feet, picking up the seedlings thrown next to them.
One by one, holding the seedlings in their left hand and inserting them in the right hand, they walked backward along the rope, keeping their upper bodies steady and their feet sliding.
Zhu Wentian was also in the team, working hard.
On the other hand, the growth has not gone away, and the elderly village elders and women who are menstruating are equally indifferent.
Zhu Yuanzhang was lazy and handed the question book to his eldest son for review. He ran to the field to drink tea with the headman.
It is not yet time to eat, and it will still be half an hour later. The rice transplanters take advantage of the cool weather to work early, and wait until the time is right before eating.
Then he took a nap and waited until noon before getting into the water and planting rice seedlings.
With people coming to help, we can plant all the rice seedlings in one day, and we can still grow japonica rice.
Last year’s japonica rice seeds can be planted for several years and then replanted.
Other villages in Xuancheng County will follow suit this year to plant japonica rice. They must take good care of it and send it to the north to be used as seed for the fields there.
The imperial court collected japonica rice seeds from them and gave them an extra 40%.
Last year, the japonica rice grown in Xiaqiu Village was 20% less than the indica rice harvest. If other villages can reach the harvest of Xiaqiu Village last year, they will receive more compensation for indica rice.
If it's a little worse, the extra compensation won't cause them any loss.
Including the rapeseed and ramie seeds that they carefully took care of this year, they were also sent to other places as seeds, but only an additional 20% compensation was given.
No one from other villages came to help this year, they were all busy with their own fields.
"A group of people came over today to help copy the map. The most difficult part is the engraving."
Zhu Yuanzhang sat next to the small table with a parasol on his head and a Drinking chrysanthemum tea, I feel like I am at the seaside.
The head of the village was not sitting down. He put his hands behind his back and watched the villagers working. After hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's words, he responded, "A picture can be subdivided. For convenience of carrying, it should be printed on white silk." ."
"In a month at most, our country will have many useful maps, and the state governments will give them one.
Ask them to replenish their own part of the mountain range. It's all ready. I'll take a set to Xiaqiu Village.
Yi Chang, no wonder you talk about a certain place so familiarly that you look at the map all day long. There are a few days on the fifth day of May. If there is a place to pick mugwort around the village, let's go pick it."
Zhu Yuanzhang changed the topic back and forth, talking about the map, and suddenly turned to the Dragon Boat Festival.
The head of the village nodded, "Yes, from Xiaqiu Village to the north, where the peat was collected before the village, there are large areas of mugwort and mugwort specially grown.
Artemisia and other Polygonum , is the raw material for making stone alkali, which was sold to the palace at that time.Alkali is made from mugwort noodles collected in the village.
During the Dragon Boat Festival, you can collect mugwort seeds together, which are both medicinal materials.
There are also colorful threads ready. The only thing left to make the rice dumplings is sticky rice, which can be purchased from various places.
Zhu Yuanzhang showed a look of surprise, "No wonder I haven't seen artemisia planted in the village. In winter, Grandma Ding grows it. Other medicinal materials suitable for our local growth are also planted in the village."
Is it far to the north? Is there any inhabited road there? Is it a good road to go to the river? Can you see the height of the mountain?"
"I asked your Majesty, this place is an uninhabited place, and the village can be reached by land. I would pass by it when I was painting, and later the road was built to dig out peat.
There are rolling hills and streams, but most people are not willing to move there and there is little flat land, making it unsuitable for farming.
There is no need to level the ground to plant mugwort in the village. Just burn other weeds, clear the open space, and scatter the seeds.
After the road construction is completed, it takes half an hour by carriage to get there from Xiaqiu Village, which is almost twenty or thirty miles. ”
The chief replied while thinking, he hadn’t been there for a long time.
Zhu Yuanzhang squinted at the people working in the paddy fields and picked up the chrysanthemum tea. Take a sip "Yi Chang, what do you think the mountains can do?"
"Of course it is a medicinal plant. Does your Majesty know that ginseng can be grown? If we can find ginseng seeds, we can grow ginseng here."
If you plant them for five to eight years, they will have medicinal effects, just like growing carrots, one large area after another.
It only takes five years. It would be good to dig it out and use it as medicine, at least it would be better than nothing.
We can grow some other medicinal materials, whether perennial or annual, as long as the climate is suitable. ”
The manager told Hanhan about the role of the mountain without even thinking about it. He had agreed with Hanhan that medicinal herbs would be planted in the garden outside Chaoyang Gate.
And he was trying to find a way to use it from I brought ginseng seeds from the Northeast and even considered trying to germinate dried ginseng from the drug store.
It would be best if you picked the ginseng from the mountains last year and delivered it immediately.
Or this year, through the imperial court, go over there and keep an eye on the ginseng, and bring back the seeds and ginseng when the ginseng has grown.
"Okay" Zhu Yuanzhang slapped his leg, "You give us the map of the Ming Dynasty. We will give the area from there to Xiaqiu Village to Xiaqiu Village.
Everywhere from now on will belong to you. Build more roads. If we get bored staying in the palace, we can come here and have a rest.
You plant medicinal materials, and we will arrange for people to guard them. When the medicinal materials grow, ginseng can really be grown like radishes."
Zhu Yuanzhang said and suddenly changed to asking, everyone knows Ginseng is precious.
Korea pays tribute to ginseng every year, and people living in the northeast also collect ginseng. This has always been the case from ancient times to the present.
It is very popular for people to go out to find ginseng. It’s not easy. If you encounter small ginseng, you will raise it and mark it.
If you can grow it in large quantities
If someone else said this, Zhu Yuanzhang thought.He was deceived, and those who deserved to be beheaded were beheaded, and those who deserved to be exiled were exiled.
Xiaqiu Village says they can grow bamboo fungus. Just look at the bamboo fungus and white fungus. The white fungus is in groups and the bamboo fungus is in pieces.
If you turn something obviously precious into a vegetable, you will be very successful selling it to the Yi people, as well as those from Tianzhu and those living in arid areas.
As soon as it is said to be medicine, everyone buys it and is willing to pay a high price.
"Your Majesty, you can plant it. In more than a month, the ginseng seeds in the Northeast will be mature. If you don't watch them in advance, they will fall to the ground and be difficult to find.
Ordinary people do not think that ginseng can be grown, but it takes one and a half to two years for normal ginseng to germinate.
If the place is not suitable for ginseng growth, it will not germinate for many years.
p>Xiaqiu Village has a method to germinate, just like other crops, germinate, raise seedlings in advance, and then transplant them. ”
The head of the village believed Hanhan, and Hanhan said it could be planted, so he was looking for it now. help.
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, "Like this rice, people in ancient times just planted the rice grains. Later they learned that they should cultivate the seedlings first, and then move them out and plant them separately.
It will be arranged later. I'm looking for ginseng seeds in the Northeast. If I find one, I'll give them ten cents.
With a heavy reward, I believe they are willing to collect 10,000 seeds, but it's only a hundred cents." /p>
Zhu Yuanzhang has a way to make people active, buy them with money, a seed costs ten cents, and you can always pick out dozens of seeds from that one. Please remember to collect it, the latest and fastest website without anti-theft and free to find books To add books, you can add QQ group 952868558
