Chapter 765: Making the Cake Big Nine Years of Grain
Zhu Yuanzhang sniffed. The roast chicken rack was cold, so he heated it up and sprayed it with vinegar.
Ah sneeze, "How to make steamed buns bigger?"
"Of course, put more noodles." The chicken rack inside didn't make Hanhan hot, so the purpose of spraying vinegar was This is because you are afraid of the fishy taste when you eat it when it is cold. The hotter the meat is, the more it will shrink. The more it shrinks, the harder it will be, and it will become hard to bite.
Zhu Yuanzhang ""
If another minister dared to say this, he promised to curse immediately. In the face of the chief, he endured it.
"Your Majesty, after the Ming Dynasty went to sea, they walked along the coast and encountered places affected by climate. The yields were already high, but their farming technology was not good enough.
In the absence of blast furnaces Before the open hearth, it was never easy to smelt iron and steel, and the output was low.
When we were in Helin, the herdsmen cherished the complete set of iron tools
< p>Now the Ming Dynasty’s iron and steel-making technology is unparalleled in the world. Others can’t do it. Even though they have some decent weapons, their output can’t keep up.Let’s provide them with some planting and breeding technology. They have more products that can be exchanged with the Ming Dynasty.
The main products there are rice, and the northwest of Tianzhu is mainly wheat. ”
The mayor finally stopped talking about being scolded and wanted to make the cake bigger, Hanhan said.
Give others something and technology, and use other people’s labor force to serve yourself.
"Oh" Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly realized that there is so much noodles to put in, and the noodles need to be planted.
"Help them plant the land, and trade it with us after they finish planting, so that we can store food. Now we are afraid of disasters. There haven't been big disasters recently.
Then let They raise pigs and poultry. No, let them raise cattle and horses. We need cattle and horses for farming and transportation.
The current grain reserves are not enough for the people of Ming Dynasty to eat for half a year. Only if they can store enough for a year." /p>
Zhu Yuanzhang figured it out and asked others to help with the work. Ming would give them a little benefit in exchange for a lot of things.
The governor glanced at Zhu Di, "As mentioned before, we have already begun to deal with the drought in the provinces of Beiping next year, including Hebei and parts of Shandong."
Zhu Di ""
p>He didn't know whether he should be happy or sad. Seeing the disaster, he couldn't laugh, but he had been warned a long time in advance so he could prepare.
Like in Sichuan, when the floods came, everything was gone. Fortunately, people took their livestock and poultry to higher ground, and the houses were demolished.
"Father, please send more well-drilling machines and excavators in the spring to dig pits to store water. There will be a drought in the summer."
Zhu Di wants more for the people of his fiefdom. Things, the people are already digging wells.
The people trust the imperial court. The imperial court is so awesome. It says that wherever there is a drought, there will be a drought. It says that wherever there is a flood, there will be a flood. If it is said that the earth will move, it will definitely move. Only when it says that the locust plague is not that serious .
What Zhu Di means is to take advantage of the time to build more well-drilling machines, the ones that pump water from the ground as soon as they are pressed.
We grow wheat in the North Parallel Province. We have harvested the good soybeans and sorghum in the summer, plus the cotton grown by the people. If there is a severe drought, what if there is not enough water?
"Okay, okay, Build it and send it by ship from the sea." Zhu Yuanzhang agreed.
He thought it was good to dig wells and not drink the water in the river, so the people would be less likely to get sick. Even if they were asked to boil water, the people would sometimes be reluctant to do so in order to save firewood.
"Don't worry, Your Highness, King Yan, there will be no problems in Beipingxing Province. Machinery will be sent there next year to help with plowing.
We in the Ming Dynasty need to reserve grain for nine years, so we will build one when we have time. It is best to store granaries within three years.
If a country does not have nine years of savings, it is said to be insufficient; if it does not have six years of savings, it is said to be urgent; if it does not have three years of savings, it is said that it is not a country. "< /p>
The village manager does not want to only have a one-year grain reserve or a nine-year grain reserve. In fact, the aged grain is not delicious and has a bad taste.
Then use it to feed livestock and poultry, and put it in with new grain.
At the critical moment, there is really nothing to eat. Aged grains are very fragrant, more delicious than grass roots and bark, and unlike Guanyin soil, which can eat people to death.
"Yes, yes, nine years." When Zhu Yuanzhang saw that the leader said nine years, he felt confident, "If you cultivate for three years, you will have one year of food; if you cultivate for nine years, you will have three years of food. So. In the past thirty years, although there have been disasters, droughts, and floods, the people have no food."
He told the following words what was in the Book of Rites, but he felt that the previous Book of Rites was not written well. So true.
How is it possible that after three years of farming, one year of food will be enough? If three years of planting, the food will be saved for one more year. That must be the current crop rotation and intercropping.
During the Han Dynasty, this technology was developed by Xiaqiu Village, or it was specifically mentioned in the south, where it was harvested twice a year.
The current method of planting rice and rapeseed is exhausting without animal power.
Shandong, Hebei, Henan and other places did not dare to plow the land after harvesting winter wheat.
Empress Ma ate the crispy bones of a roasted chicken rack, which tasted good. “It’s really easy to buy food from outside. I haven’t bought less this year. All the food is used for the soldiers. In some places, the rice is very high.” Fragrant."
She was in charge of foreign trade, and a large amount of food was delivered to the army. Any extra food would be given to those who had families in the army.
Normally, when there is no war, they rarely exercise. Once they exercise, they eat more. A soldier eats more than twice as much as a normal civilian.
One support can cost hundreds of thousands, and the consumption of hundreds of thousands of people is equivalent to a Ningguo Mansion.
This year, not only will the soldiers be given enough food for training, they will also be provided with meat, vegetables, meat and other non-staple food. Where does the meat come from?
But most of the meat is fish, sea fish. In fact, this meat is better, with high protein content and a little fat.
The army is not only more effective in combat, but also more loyal. It listens to whoever feeds you, including your family members.With so much extra money, it’s no problem to fight tooth and nail.
In the past, the imperial treasury provided food. Without money, soldiers were paid according to their official positions. All deserters were afraid of death.
Exercise every day, your whole body will be full of strength, and the morale of the army will be different.
With an extra subsidy, being a deserter means you won’t have any money to give to your family.
The key is to have a good weapon. Using this gun to hit the enemy is purely bullying.
"Yes, our army is good." As soon as Queen Ma talked about the army, Zhu Yuanzhang thought of something.
"I wonder how well they practiced throwing grenades. In the future, the grenades they will use on the battlefield must be long-range and accurate. Is it appropriate?"
Zhu Yuanzhang asked the commander, now the army Not only do you practice guns, but you also practice throwing grenades, which requires at least thirty steps.
In the past, in order to deal with the enemy's desperate charge on the battlefield, explosive packs were used to deceive people, but they were not used to it yet.
In the future, when we encounter enemies and fight many times, it will not only be uneconomical to use explosive bags, but the enemies will not be fooled.
So Xiaqiu Village provided another weapon. This grenade was thrown accurately. Even if the enemy dug a trench, it was useless, so they still threw it in.
At the same time, the enemy's walls rarely reach as high as thirty steps, that is, fifteen feet.
