The fourth update of Chapter 467: Busy and Helping the Rich Village
The common people are not clear about what is going on in the court. Anyway, it is true that when His Highness the Crown Prince comes, he can have three meals a day.
Then you can easily get some briquettes to earn piece-rate wages, and you won’t lose money if you have multiple documents.
When it gets cold or snows, we won’t be able to work. Fortunately, there is coal here, and you are allowed to take some of the good coal home.
Can the court give other things in winter? Now masks are given, and old ones and broken ones must be replaced with new ones. This is different from before.
Soap is given as normal. I heard that if the soap is not used up, you can replace it with glycerin and wipe your hands and face without fear of the cold wind.
The wind here in winter is so strong that my face is covered with tiny cuts that hurt when touched.
Next to a radish field, Zhu Biao stood there and looked at, "This radish will last two months."
"It's not as good as Nanjing. The locals have to harvest it in a month, including Chinese cabbage.
There are still some late-planted cowpeas, eggplants, cucumbers, chrysanthemums, lettuce and other vegetables in the field.
After the frost, we should ask Zhaojiacun to help harvest small eggplants, cucumbers, and other vegetables. Cowpeas and lentils.
We all want the small ones, and we will make shrimp oil side dishes.
The vegetables are too sweet after being frosted. Eggplant, a small one-inch eggplant, bites into it, and it feels like eating fruit."
The grower collects the small vegetables that have been beaten by the frost. These are similar to grapes, and they only taste sweet after the frost.< /p>
Like the mountain pears in the north, they are sour and astringent and no one eats them. They wait for the winter to freeze and turn black. Then they can be pulled out with cold water to make them sweet and smooth.
The most delicious pickles are made from side dishes like this. Don’t worry about selling them for money. When an opportunity comes, your village must first reserve it.
"The eggplants beaten by frost will wilt and become stale. When the time comes, we will try it and let others collect it along the way."
Zhu Xi strongly supports this behavior, and he Biqi pickles are the most famous, but the pickles from Xiaqiu Village are the most delicious.
“It’s not too far north now, at least south of the Yellow River. When we get north of the Yellow River, people will have more vegetable land.
Everyone must grow a lot of cabbage, radish, Green onions, carrots, and dried vegetables made in autumn can survive the winter.
Then there are pickles and pickles, otherwise there will be no vegetables to eat in the winter. Now that the price of salt has dropped, people in the north can make more sauerkraut. ”< /p>
While the leader was talking, everyone came to a cabbage field again, and the cabbages were growing well.
It will take another month to harvest. The longer it is at this time, the longer the heart will grow. When the frost comes, the cabbage will taste sweet.
The same is true for radishes. If you dig them out now, they will soon become chaff.
"What does the north look like now?" Zhu Biao looked to the north.
"It's very cold. It's snowing in some places and the water is slowly freezing. When we get there, we don't need to find a bridge to cross the river and just walk on the ice."
In Think about it for a long time, give an answer and listen to what Hanhan said.
The few people chatted and returned to the camp to rest. Zhao Li left in a hurry to find people in the village to ask about things.
The villagers are very busy. Except for the children who must stay behind to study, the older people go to other villages to collect vegetables.
While there are still vegetables in the fields, harvest them quickly, otherwise you won’t be able to support lunch boxes in the winter.
Coal mines continue to be mined in winter without seasonal restrictions. In order to save money, the village can only use dried vegetables.
Young people even rushed to other counties to check the situation and see the radishes, carrots and cabbages in other people's vegetable fields.
The only fresh vegetables in winter lunch boxes are probably these three. When everyone collects them, the village buys them in large quantities at low prices.
Fortunately, there were craftsmen there who helped repair the cellar. The villagers wanted to help, but the craftsmen drove them away because they thought they were in the way.
The advantage of having a lot of clay is that it is easy to dig holes. Craftsmen built three types of cellars.
One method is to dig a trench first, with plant ash at the bottom and straw on top, then put the radish, cabbage, and carrots in, and then use straw and wooden sticks to build a horizontal shelf and spread a straw mat on top. Cover with soil.
You can dig more of this type, it doesn’t need to be too big, you can use it as you go, and you can quickly use up the vegetables in a cellar.
The second method is to dig a hole. The upper soil layer is not destroyed, but the lower layer is hollowed out, leaving a hole for a ladder or steps made of mud.
You can put more vegetables in this type. Remember to put a lit candle before coming down every time to see if it goes out. If it goes out, open the mouth and blow more air.
It can preserve vegetables longer than the first one, but it will have to be filled in next year and dug out again.
An extra hole will be dug out in the middle of the top and then covered up to let out the wind and form a flowing wind with the entrance of the vegetable cellar.
The last type is a fixed cellar made of bricks, which is for long-term use. A warehouse will be built on it, and a wellhead will also be left.
The warehouse is designed to be ventilated at any time, which is convenient for drying vegetables and making sausages and bacon. In the vegetable cellar below, there are water tanks of vegetables and other things for making pickles.
Children must be told clearly that they are not allowed to go down casually. Before going down, they must open the door of the vegetable cellar and put out candles, and then place candles from the vent above.
The fixed cellar will not be dismantled and can be used for a long time. It is very practical in conjunction with the warehouse above.
It is impossible for craftsmen to build fixed cellars for every household. They can only build twenty cellars for the village, and the village pays for the materials.
During dinner, Zhao Li got three brochures, about building brick kilns, building cement kilns, and building ceramic kilns.
Zhu Biao said to Zhao Li, "Zhao Li, there is an iron smelting place locally. Go there to find slag to burn cement and grind the cement to be driven by a water truck.
The brick and tile kiln is The village is preparing to build houses in the future, and is also preparing to build houses for people who come to the coal mine from other places.
As for the ceramic kiln, porcelain can be sold for more money, and pottery is the most practical, and people can't live without it every day.open.
The coal mine has begun to increase its business. Once your kiln is built and you understand simple techniques, the coke production there will also begin.
You have to spend money to buy it, you can’t steal it, and you have an account. Coke can achieve higher temperatures and more continuous and stable heat supply, and is easier to control than wood kilns. "
Zhao Li held three booklets in his hand. After listening to Zhu Biao's words, he knelt down and kowtowed vigorously, "Thank you, Your Highness, Your Highness. Thank you, Your Highness."
"Get up." Zhu Biao spoke up, and someone came over to pull Zhao Li up.
“I want to make Zhaojiacun another Xiaqiu village in Ruzhou. I don’t expect you to develop new technologies, as long as you can. Just become rich and make other villages willing to learn from you. ”
Zhu Biao explained the reason and set a benchmark so that more villages can see how to work hard to improve their living standards.
The land must continue to be planted, and mineral fertilizers should be used flexibly during the planting process. With farmyard manure and natural pesticides,
while increasing land production and income, use local coal, clay, and iron ore resources to develop small handicraft industries.
Form a cluster effect. Allowing foreign merchants to come and purchase goods, coupled with the guarantee of shipping, will drive overall economic development.
When more and more villages with such guidance appear, other villages will naturally become anxious.
The prefectures next to Ningguo Mansion and Taiping Mansion are already worried. The income of their people in one year is as much as that of people in other places in two years, or even more.
