There is still some bran in the flour in front of you, which makes it look a little dark. However, this is not a problem with other problems, but a problem with the flour grinding equipment. This kind of ground flour will definitely not be as white and completely removed as machine-processed in later generations. All bran.
"How's it going? Can everyone afford white noodles?" Li Ke opened the linen flour bag and looked at it. All the noodles inside were this.
"Thanks to His Highness, we can now afford white flour, and we can afford it all year round." Speaking of this, all the people who crowded into this room were a little excited.
How could they have dared to think about this in the past? Not to mention eating white flour, they would not have dared to think about eating a full meal with bran. How could they have dared to eat all-you-can-eat white flour? This is something that has never happened before, something that can only appear in dreams.
Otherwise, why are they excited, why does everyone want to see His Highness, and why does every household have His Highness's longevity tablet.
"Haha, good! I feel relieved when I hear you say that. It seems that the yield of the seeds I prepared for you should be very good!" Li Ke smiled with satisfaction. These high-yielding wheat seeds are fundamentally Something to solve the food crisis in Datang.
After all, foreign rice is still imported. Although it will soon become the territory of the Tang Dynasty, the people can solve the food problem by themselves. This is the foundation for the prosperity of the country.
"What about potatoes? Have you planted them all?" Li Ke looked at them and asked.
"It's planted! Your Highness, this is a sacred object. Just such a thing is enough to make people starve to death in the Tang Dynasty." Zhao Lin was a little excited. This is the first time they have planted potatoes here this year, and there are not many seeds allocated. , but next year, everyone can plant potatoes.
"Haha, this is all a good thing. Although potatoes have high yields and low land requirements, and some relatively barren land is more suitable for planting, you still have to pay attention to planting rotation. In addition, it can be used as a side dish. Let's When it’s time to eat staple food, you should still eat staple food.”
"The other thing is, Zhao Lin, have you publicized the part about potatoes being inedible?" Li Ke asked.
"Your Highness, I have publicized that all the budding parts are poisonous. At least that part must be cut off before you can eat it." Zhao Lin nodded seriously.
"Well, we must pay attention to this matter. This is no joke. It is a matter of life and death! You village cadres must pay attention to it and publicize it properly. Otherwise, if there is a problem in any village, you village cadres will It's hard to deny the blame." Li Ke nodded solemnly.
"yes!"
Just throw the potatoes away when they sprout. Li Ke knows that this is simply unrealistic. Not to mention now, more than a thousand years later, before Li Ke's time travel, his parents would not do this. If there are the most sprouts, they just cut them off and cut off the entire potato. Throw away all the potatoes, it's impossible to get them.
After looking at the kitchen, Li Ke came out of the kitchen and went to the bedroom next door. He first looked at the mats spread on the fire bed, and then touched the quilt made of linen on the bed: "How is it? Is it warm in winter?" ."
"Warm." Zhao Sangang nodded hurriedly, "Now we buy wool subsidized by the court for our winter quilts. After the smell disappears, this wool quilt is too warm to cover in winter. And now we have sheep ourselves. Two pounds of wool each year can be replaced by one pound of wool that is washed to remove sheep odor, and even the problem of cotton-padded clothes in winter is solved.”
"Very good! In a few years, new winter crops will be widely planted in the Tang Dynasty. Cotton is popular in the Western Regions. The Tang court has already begun to promote it. By then, everyone will be able to use better warm clothes. ." Li Ke said with a smile.
Of course, cotton may not be warmer than wool, but with the same thermal insulation effect, cotton quilts are lighter than wool. The main reason is that wool is a bit thick. With current fabrics, it is easy to get out of the quilt, and people who are not used to it may fall asleep. Not as comfortable as cotton quilt.
It may be better to use fabrics on both sides of the cover, but for today's people, it is not easy to buy two layers of quilt covers.
"Your Highness, things are much better now than before. With the fire kang invented by Your Highness, you can basically burn one stove at night in winter. It will be very hot all night and not cold at all!" Zhao Lin said with a smile.
"That's good. I'm relieved to see that you guys are doing well. Let's go out for a walk." Li Ke waved his hand.
After touring the entire Baicaowan Village, Li Ke asked all kinds of questions, including whether the food was good, whether he was full, how he lived, whether his clothes were warm, and what each household was like. Questions about livestock, farmed poultry and livestock, animal power, etc. were all asked one by one.
This was originally a pastoral area and had advantages in terms of animal power. Although the entire Tuyuhun provided a large number of pack horses to the mainland of the Tang Dynasty, the provision of pack horses must be based on the principle of proximity.
The Hehuang Valley must be guaranteed first.
After they were done walking around and asking questions, Li Ke asked everyone to gather in a small square in the middle of the village. No one was particular about it, they just brought stools and chairs from various households.
Most of the people were standing, and Li Ke did not ask for it. Only a few people were sitting. For example, Li Ke was sitting here, Li Yan, and several historians who followed Li Ke were also sitting. They even had a table because they had to record things.
"Fellow folks." Li Ke looked at the people around him and said with a smile, "To be honest, I am very happy to see your life today, because I feel relieved."
"When I came here this year, it was a deserted place. It was basically a pastoral area. Most of the herders lived in poverty. After a year, they basically couldn't guarantee food and clothing."
"And once they move away, it can be said that nothing will be left."
"Now I see that everyone has built their own houses with their own hands, has their own fields and farmers, and has their own livestock and livestock. I am very happy!"
"Because this means that the work of the Tang Dynasty court in the past few years has been effective! Whether it is my work or the work of countless officials of the Tang Dynasty, it has not been in vain!"
"So, if you encounter any difficulties in the future, you must tell the court. If the people in your village can't solve it, there are those in the township. If the township can't solve it, there's the county. If the county can't solve it, there's the county, there's the state. Finally, there's the county. And I."
"If it's a problem that even I can't solve in the end, then let's all work together to get this thing settled, okay?" Li Ke asked loudly.
"Okay!" The people around him cheered loudly.
"Very good! I feel more confident when everyone is so motivated. This means that our life will definitely be better in the future! However, there is still one problem. I have to say it for Zhao Lin and other officials first. One word." Li Ke said with a smile.
