"Can that machine that is connected to harvest rice be used only on flat land?"
Zhu Yuanzhang took another two sips of wine , always thinking about a combine harvester that can withstand 500 people.
"Yes, terraced fields and scattered small fields still need to be harvested manually. If the working area is small, it is not suitable to use this equipment." The director nodded.
"There is a lot of flat land in the lakes of Dongting Lake" Zhu Yuanzhang thought of the places where he had suffered losses in water battles.
"Your Majesty is right. In the Lianghu Plain where Huguang is located, rice can be harvested twice a year. It is not recommended to grow cotton because the village has no time to think about the cotton harvester. Cotton is maturing one after another, and there is no Special medicines are used to accelerate ripening.
In the Lianghu Plain area, including some plains in Guangdong, it is easy to plant rice twice a year. If you plant it three times a year, fertilizer will not be able to keep up.
Planting rice with a steam engine is not enough. Using plowing and planting equipment to plant the seeds and then harvesting them when mature requires less manpower.
In this way, local resource advantages can be used to raise more pigs and poultry, which can cover the needs of the areas along the upper and lower reaches of the Yangtze River.
Since you are raising livestock and poultry, you need feed. Rice husks are not suitable for feeding directly. You can separate some areas for wheat and soybean rotation.”
It can grow a little. Talking about Hunan, Hubei and Guangdong, there are still common people there. The population is small and the land tax is heavy. Ningguo Mansion cannot grow rice twice a year.
There is no problem in Changsha Prefecture, Yuezhou Prefecture, Changde Prefecture, Baoqing Prefecture and other places. The problem is that the people are tired and it is not as high as thirty-one tax for the whole year.
"It is true that the people should be allowed to do more other things. Farming is the most tiring, and they have to depend on the weather for food. We have reduced a lot for them, and now"
Zhu Yuanzhang listened Understand the meaning of the long words, people can use local wheat bran, soybean seedlings, and oil-pressed soybean cakes to feed pigs, cattle, sheep, chickens, ducks and geese.
Then land tax can be reduced, and a large amount of land is officially used for steam-mechanized planting and harvesting.
Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to say that now we are not afraid that some of the original people there will rebel again, including in Guangdong, but he felt embarrassed to say it.
Empress Ma said from the side, "Wherever there is water that can pass ships, our Ming army will be deployed quickly in the future, and the same will be true for transporting things.
This year's army is back , take a rest, and send it to various places next year to help de-illiterate the people and let them know what the Ming Dynasty is like now." "My sister is right," Zhu Yuanzhang said, that's all. We are not afraid of them causing trouble. We mobilize troops quickly and our weapons are powerful.
And depending on where the people are not very stable, the number of sergeants sent to de-illiterate can be increased. While teaching people literacy and arithmetic, they are also responsible for protecting the safety of the people.
With the return of the Northern Tour team, life seems to be back to what it used to be.
Zhu Xiang goes to Jubiqi for work every day, and the people of Xiaqiu Village and the craftsmen are busy building things.
Most of the troops are resting and studying, and a fewSome people took advantage of the fact that the Yellow River was not in the dry season and drove steam boats to Hukou Waterfall to get oil again and again.
By the way, I brought explosives and tools to build roads there, and smoothed the paths to facilitate the unloading of ships and transportation of things by land.
In the past, it was a matter of interest to lift the ship to the land. Why not park the ship upstream and downstream, and then unload the goods back and forth and transport them by other means before loading them?
The goods on the ship The goods are sold at the top and bottom of Hukou Waterfall, so they can't be sold at a high price.
So I would rather spend money to hire people to help move the Gulu wood, and then the cost will naturally be included in the sales price.
This is an official issue at present, and there is no value in the goods. We must quickly get the oil flowing down the river from Yanchang County to Yingtian Mansion.
Zhu Fang also asked people to put some of them next to his palace. He saved a little at a time, thinking that there would be a lot when the vassal came, and asked people from Xiaqiu Village to help build factories.
Zhu Ping passed some information about the fiefdom through steam engines and ships. Even before he became a vassal, he was already affecting the development of the fiefdom.
Zhu Biao was under pressure. The things his second brother had to deal with all day were beyond the scope of the Prince of Weijun.
Normally, the prince should study in the main hall, visit the military camp, exercise, etc.
The second brother is in charge of several businesses, has to approve documents every day, and also worries about the operation of Xi'an Mansion.
As for learning, what else do you need to learn? A prince who is obsessed with the welfare of the people in his fiefdom and leading them to live a good life has already mastered a lot of knowledge related to specific people's livelihood.
If you still need to teach him how to love the people, who can love him?
His love is concrete actions, including mobilizing people there to mine coal, make briquettes, smelt iron, and build stoves. , stove tubes, and fire pits in people's homes
We even ordered people to go to each village to use cement to dry the grain while the weather was hot.
Now the Xi'an government is waiting for the soybean harvest, and the people have few things to do. They usually cook vegetables at home, which is a good time to work.
After harvesting the beans, it is time to plant winter wheat. Before the winter wheat matures next year, it will be cold and it is not suitable to plaster the drying field with cement. It will be planted first this year.
In addition, he sent people to Pingyang Mansion, where there was a salt pond, and the salt produced was bitter. He asked people to follow the beach drying method to make it easier for the people in his fief to use the salt.
The two places are close to each other. The easternmost place in Xi'an is Huayin County, and Yanchi is more than 200 miles away.
But from Yanchi to the nearest river, fifty miles. Fifty miles of land road construction. When we reach the river, we go down the river to Huayin.
The second brother meant to repair it quickly. He paid for the road construction, including the newly added various ponds for drying salt, and he also took care of it.
When I heard that the third brother and the fourth brother knew about it, they were so anxious that they screamed. The fourth brother’s Peiping was better. His team stayed there for a long time, but the third brother’s Taiyuan Prefecture now had nothing.
It seems that the third brother goes to the box lunch shop to eat every day recently, and doesn’t say anything else. After eating, he goes back to the delicatessen to study cooked food.Question, let’s take a look at the account.
"Your Highness, King Jin, is well." During the summer heat, the village chief took the children from Xiaqiu Village to the second floor in front of the box lunch restaurant.
One is that everyone has been too busy recently and needs to take a rest, and the other is about Zhu Fan.
When Zhu Fan went to Xiaqiu Village, he didn’t mention anything else. He just took his younger brothers and sisters to play, and then went to the box lunch restaurant to eat at normal times every day.
Obviously, he is waiting for someone, come quickly
"Good luck." Zhu Fan smiled and finally arrived.
"What would you like to eat, Your Highness?" the chief asked.
"Let's ask people to go back to get cooked food and drink beer at the bar. If you want iced ones, go to the second brother to get them." Zhu Fan stopped eating lunch and wanted to drink.
"Here we come, third brother. I'm here." Zhu Xi arrived, and the people from Xiaqiu Village came. He promised to know that they were too close.
"Second brother" Zhu Fan said hello. He is only fifteen years old this year. Zhu Fang is seventeen and begins to worry about his fiefdom.
Historically, the two of them were not like this. At that time, they did not know anything. They studied in the main hall all day long, waiting to be supported by the people after they got to the fiefdom.
It’s different now. Both of them know that the people must live a good life so that the fiefdom can have money, especially in business, where taxes can be collected.
Tian Tian has no choice but to collect grain at a rate of thirty to one tax, unless it is other official land or something.
It doesn’t matter, as long as the people have a lot of food and raise a lot of livestock and poultry, everything has to be transferred. Please remember to collect it, the latest and fastest website without anti-theft, free to find books and add books, you can join the qq group 952868558
