Originally, we could plant all high-yield grain seeds next year, but the master promised the king to donate half of the high-yield grain seeds, so we can only postpone it for one year.

Craftsman Xu Hui has found easy-to-mine high-quality coal mines in Wei County. Xu Dajiang suggested that during the winter development, farmers should use concentrated labor to mine large quantities of coal and iron ore.

First, the weaving factories of large families will buy them, and the peasant women will concentrate on the production. The more machines there are, the higher the efficiency will be.

This year is to improve housing. , next year we can improve pig houses, sheep houses, build rural roads, etc. After farmers accumulate wealth for a few years, they can sell looms to peasant women at a low price. The peasant women usually spin threads, weave cloth, and make clothes for daily wear at home, and the factory will Make high-quality and beautiful clothes for the county and surrounding areas."
