"If you cut the beans by hand, it will be less likely to be broken into two."
Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly asked about soybeans again. , he felt that if the soybeans were damaged during harvest, they could not be planted. These were good seeds.
"We have reserved a place for manual harvesting. When we compare it, we will see that there are several possibilities, one is pests and diseases. The other is that it matures earlier than other beans. This one is particularly good and the best. I can find other beans from that plant."
The manager said that harvesting by machine is almost the same as harvesting by hand. The beans harvested by hand also have to be beaten with a flail, but they cannot be pressed with a roller because they will break when pressed. .
He planned to harvest one acre manually and one acre mechanically. For manual harvesting, he would use normal means to punch out the beans, and finally compare the proportion of damaged beans.
If the machine is high, you need to find a way to adjust it, otherwise the number of seeds will be reduced.
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slightly, "Under normal planting conditions, the yield of the seeds sent outside is indeed higher than the original. The people were very happy. They set aside some seeds from their own grain and told the government Change."
Speaking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang was happy and increased production. The people would not starve if they harvested more food. If they did not starve, they would not rebel.
He would rather see the smiles on people's faces than hear about people starving to death somewhere, even eating grass roots and tree bark.
“It is estimated that the yield will drop after a few years of planting. A seed will degrade in one place for a long time and needs to be replaced with another place.
The seeds in Xiaqiu Village last two years. For a change, in fact, seed bases should be established in all large areas.
Seeds in one place may not be suitable for the climate and soil of other places. Let’s leave it like this for now.”
The elder knew about the matter of exchanging seeds. People in other places used seeds. It was agreed that the grain produced in the first year, except for the part left by oneself, must be exchanged for others on a one-for-one basis.
From the second year onwards, it is not a one-to-one ratio, you can ask for more.
However, ordinary people do not know that scientific planting is just a matter of effort. They even remove insects by hand when planting, and carry water to irrigate the ground when there is a drought.
If you say you are not hard-working, people will almost die of exhaustion. If you say you work hard, the food output will not increase, and you will just be anxious.
Zhu Yuanzhang took a sip of the mutton soup and said, "It's cold. Thank you for not adding more soup."
While waiting for someone to ladle the soup, he looked at the craftsmen who were resting and eating. Once the land is released, there will be no war in the future."
"Your Majesty, if there is contact with the outside world, there will be trade, and if there is trade, there will be interests. Then conflicts will arise. If we don't fight others, others will fight us.
p>Only when we are strong enough that they dare not fight can we enjoy peace. At least we, the people of the Ming Dynasty, will have a better life.
This world is unfair after all. If we are weak, the barbarians will. Beat us and steal our things.”
The village chief is now learning more and starting to think about the problem from a bigger perspective.
“It is the barbarians who plunder by force;Without education, we use technology to plunder. That’s what it’s called, right, trade surplus.
The barbarians brought us oil, we made kerosene and gasoline and sold them back, and they used the gasoline to fight the war.
Kerosene is suitable for lighting lamps. We keep the diesel for ourselves for welding tools, and the paraffin and petrolatum for our people.
Yes, asphalt was made into linoleum paper and sold to the barbarians, telling them how to use it."
Zhu Yuanzhang put seasonings into the newly added soup while talking about the future. idea.
He took advantage of the business with the barbarians, so he decided to carry out the maritime ban to the end. The people should not exchange things with the barbarians, but do it themselves.
The Ming Dynasty. You have to arrange the good things by yourself. The common people don't understand, and they will suffer a loss if they exchange with the barbarians.
It's like exchanging tea for horses in the west. Thanks to the experts in Xiaqiu Village for reminding them in time. >
After the meal, a thousand soldiers were asked to make five crab baskets each, and they were taught.
The day after tomorrow, August 15th, was a grand festival, and everyone had to eat moon cakes. Grapes and crabs.
Grapes have been planted in Xiaqiu Village, as well as other fruit trees. Some of them will take two years to bear fruit, while others can be harvested this year.
People in Shijiu Lake and other lakes have prepared crab baskets early. They catch crabs for Xiaqiu Village, pickle them and sell them in winter.
The people themselves don’t like to eat crabs, because they have little meat and have to be dipped in vinegar. , dipped in soy sauce or something, and crabs have no oil and water, so they can easily get sick if they are not eaten well.
However, this year Huang Lichang said that everyone will steam crabs during the Mid-Autumn Festival. If you have money, it will be three. Mix it with oil and add some shredded ginger.
The group of officials who followed were depressed that their families could not accompany them. They spent the Mid-Autumn Festival outside with His Majesty, and His Majesty’s family came.
< p>The only thing that makes them feel better is that someone will send a lot of holiday things to their home to compensate them.“When we were young, we caught crabs and roasted them on the fire. No salt, let alone vinegar and soy sauce. "
Zhu Yuanzhang watched others making crab baskets and told the village chief about his childhood.
"At that time, there were constant natural and man-made disasters. In the year His Majesty was born, there were calls from within the Yuan Dynasty. After fighting, disasters occurred frequently in various places. "
The village chief heard Hanhan talk about a series of things that started when Zhu Yuanzhang was born. In fact, he also experienced it when he was a child, but he was two years younger than Zhu Yuanzhang.
"Natural and man-made disasters There are also landlords. We can only graze cattle for the landlords' families. No matter how chaotic the situation is, there is no shortage of rich people.
When you went to Helin and passed by Luoshui over there, didn’t the rich people put their money into a partnership for the textile machines they made?
Oh, hurry up and make the machines When we come out, we will also build a few factories along the Qinhuai River. Upstream, the water power is good and it costs nothing. "
As Zhu Yuanzhang spoke, he thought of the hydraulic spinning and weaving there. Some of the cloth had been sold to Nanjing, and cotton and cotton threads were collected from Nanjing.
Obviously the efficiency there is too high, there is a lack of raw materials, and the price difference can be earned from a single processing process.
When the commander heard that the Qinhuai River was needed, he quickly advised, "Your Majesty, use steam engines, not water power. The Qinhuai River is the key to shipping. Once large waterwheels and factories are built on the bank, it will inevitably Delaying transportation.
Especially if the embankment is to be built on the river in the future, it will conflict with the water tanker. We plan to use cement and barbed wire to build the river embankment.
When the time comes, we will leave steps. Go to the river, it is easy to get up and down, and then build more houses by the river, a hundred feet away from the river."
"The migrant workers' house" Zhu Yuanzhang didn't care whether it was a hydraulic or a steam engine, he was curious and excited. Why build a house?
"There are many people in Nanjing. They will continue to have children and then they will no longer be able to live in them. Let us take this into consideration first and build houses for them to buy."
Li Chang When it comes to planning, Hanhan said, you can't wait for the situation to appear in front of you before you think of a solution, you have to be prepared for a rainy day.
“Moreover, most of your Majesty’s place in Nanjing are bungalows, which is a waste of space. We should build several floors of buildings with water supply and drainage.
Build on the side of the Qinhuai River first. There are buildings with water supply and sewerage, and sewage treatment plants are built in other places.
This will allow people to see how convenient it is. After the construction is completed, some parts of the building can be used for people to live upstairs.
p>
We use their space to build buildings and infrastructure, and when it is completed, they will move back and give them more space.”
The mayor continued that this is a real estate issue. . 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
