Chapter 888 Telegram Expedited March
Shangqiu County is a plain, a large plain. At the same time, there are summer grains and autumn grains in this location. The summer grains are wheat and winter wheat, and then soybeans, sorghum, and millet can be grown.
If the canal is not built, the people of Shangqiu will be stuck in an awkward position. Kaifeng is not far away, but they can't get through. The source of Suishui is the place where there is no water in the canal.
That means mountains. It is too far to go overland to Kaifeng over mountains and ridges. There is no river in the Yellow River. We can only go overland to the river and then take a boat upstream to Kaifeng.
Such a good place cannot block an important traffic thoroughfare. Waiting for it to be completely blocked and then trying to dig it out will be difficult
If you say send a telegram, just send a telegram, dit Amidst the ticking sound, a telegram was sent out, and I thought I would be responsible if I came to Nanjing.
The boats swarmed in, and the team began to speed up and put a large amount of things on the boat. Some of the things had been transported to Taiyuan on other ships.
The road next to the Yellow River is not easy to walk, otherwise the team would go directly upstream along the Yellow River. In this way, they would have to walk a little less, but they would not be able to reach Xi'an, Zhu Xi's fiefdom.
He also wanted to take a look at the results after the last time he came here. Two years later, they said that people's income had doubled. Let's take a look.
The original officials were also changed, and they no longer had to wear shackles to work. They were moved to other places to serve as officials, and they did not deal with it. After all, they worked hard to survive.
New officials take over from them and watch them work in shackles. Later, when they manage themselves, they choose to follow the rules and follow the rules step by step. Don't come up with random ideas.
As expected, development has taken place, and the people are obedient and do as they are told.
The local area is engaged in coal mining, iron smelting, and vegetable greenhouses, and uses abundant water resources to engage in large-scale breeding.
When planting vegetables, let the greenhouses raise the seedlings first. When the seeds will be planted in other places, transplanting has already begun there.
Vegetables are put on the market in advance and transported by ship to other places for sale.
For example, vegetables such as cucumbers, eggplants, and cowpeas are sold at a high price. Some people buy them at twice the price. The prices of summer vegetables fluctuate greatly.
When everyone goes on the market, the prices are pitifully low.
Vegetables are put on the market one month in advance, and they can earn half a year’s worth of money from selling vegetables. This money can be used to buy large livestock, which saves effort for farmers.
When a large amount of vegetables come out, local people can buy cucumbers in large quantities for a dime a pound, which will help other vegetable farmers, at least they will not rot in the ground.
The harvested vegetables are dried immediately and stored in batches. In winter, they are used to make pickles and continue to be sold elsewhere.
Every operation can generate profits, which add up to more than the original. With the money from selling poultry and eggs, and rotating crops twice a year, the income has indeed doubled several times.
The previous letter said that the people in the fiefdom were expecting His Highness King Qin to join the vassal state as soon as possible. This could help even though he was so far away. Wouldn’t it be better to be in the fiefdom?
Zhu Ping was happy , want to see, but he is not nowThinking of becoming a vassal so early, he felt that there was still a lot to learn.
Once the feudal vassal is established, it will be troublesome to return to Nanjing, and it is not possible to bring Xiaqiu Village to Xi'an Prefecture, which is the village of the prince's brother.
When I came back this time, I brought petroleum distillation equipment and technical personnel to build a factory in my fiefdom.
The oil shipped from the north is processed in the fiefdom, and candles and other things are sold locally to supply department stores, not directly to the people.
The equipment and technology do not belong to us, including the by-product petrolatum, and the clam shells must be transported first and then processed into clam oil.
The increase in jobs for local people means more livestock. Reducing the number of people to cultivate the same area of land is called liberating the labor force.
The liberated people found new jobs to make money. In this way, Xi'an became a processing and supply area for some petroleum products. Department stores collected them all and then sent them to surrounding state capitals for sale.
"Stop, stop, you are so fast. It turns out that you don't consider the marching rules. There are ships to carry the weight, and then you can ride on the horse and run so fast."
The team stopped, and the third child Zhu Fan Showing a smile, he was yelling nonsense, it had nothing to do with him.
The team threw a large amount of baggage onto the boat and sent it to Luonan County first, and then turned back to pick up people.
So the marching speed of the team was maintained at eighty miles for the first two days, and then it started to march more than 120 miles a day, more than 150 miles, 200 miles, 250 miles, 300 miles a day. inside.
The team had no armor, so they only carried half a day's worth of food and grass. The rest were transported by boats running around, and the ships carried people and sent food and grass to those on the road.
Because the telegram from Taiyuan Prefecture came over, I took the Yellow River directly to Taiyuan Prefecture. I found that the weather was good and I could harvest wheat in advance.
Zhu Fan almost burst into tears when he heard the news. The brothers thought that they should give it a try, and agreed to go over and help Taiyuan Prefecture. They harvested wheat and planted other crops. Something, obviously late.
What needs to be adjusted is that the situation in the north, central and south of Shanxi is different. The northernmost part only has one grain crop a year, and then we need to consider whether we can get some cereals with a short growth cycle.
Under normal circumstances, it should be three crops in two years, which refers to the staple food. If you plant some random things, you can get one more crop.
The key is the soil problem. You can’t just plant it if you want. You need to cultivate the land, which is really not possible. The worst place is to grow medicinal materials and cotton. The cotton can be harvested once a year.
Instead of planting soybeans, you can plant them twice a year. The first time they are harvested normally, but the second time they do not have time to mature, so they are turned into silage, which is perfect for raising a large number of livestock.
Specific issues must be analyzed in detail. If the team is not in the right place, God knows what it will be like now.
So the forced march began, lasting seven days, averaging 220 miles per day, from Bozhou to Luonan.
According to the solar terms, Xiaoman is still four days away, and wheat harvest has begun in the south. In a few days, wheat will also be harvested in Yuncheng, Shanxi, called Anyi.
Then comes Taiyuan, and then Datong. After harvesting the wheat in Datong, cabbages and radishes should be planted, and then beans must be planted and silage produced. This is no problem. The livestock from Helin will come over to raise them.
Alfalfa grown locally was selected before and prepared for breeding.
In addition, we will burn pottery, repair the roads, use waterways for transportation if there are waterways, and use animals to transport coal, coke and ceramics to other places for sale if there are no places. Department stores can be responsible for collection and operation.
The people who arrived first by boat had already prepared warm water, salt, and wheat bran floating on the water, so the camp was set up early.
When people dismount and get off their horses, the horses and mules are washed with cold water. This is the last treatment of the day. They should be washed and drank quickly.
"Good mules, each one is different from the ordinary ones." The local people knew that the princes were coming again and came to join in the fun.
They have been hoping that the mountains from Luonan to Lantian will be opened up, and many transportation teams will take this road. Luonan is at this end, just in time to entertain travelers.
The food and accommodation alone are enough to make a lot of money, as well as warehousing services.
If they don’t see the rightful owner, they will work first and wait for the rightful owner to come before kowtow. This place will return to Xi’an Mansion. Everyone is the King of Qin’s people. The King of Qin will be home here. 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
