The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and it is no longer possible to eat in the village canteen.
The villagers began to harvest purple flowers and plant cotton one after another. Before that, they planted soybeans.
After the wheat harvest, soybeans are harvested, and then soybeans are planted. The soybeans planted later do not need to mature and will be used to make silage in advance.
Planting soybeans can nourish the land, so you don’t need to replant purple-flowered groundweeds. Unless you want to expand the area, you can plant perennial herbs from seeds.
People from Xihe Village came to help. Feng Gui was now completely in power and prestigious, and the villagers were willing to work in Xiaqiu Village.
The houses of the previous four families have been built, and the villagers from their own village have done the work, while Xiaqiu Village has provided the materials.
Therefore, the people of Xihe Village have a good impression of Xiaqiu Village and would really like to help if I need anything! Otherwise, where can we find materials to build a house? We will suffer from famine.
For four families, Xiaqiu Village was a life-saving grace, but they had no choice but to come here to grow cotton.
It was obviously a help, but the people in Xihe Village felt that they were taking advantage and eating well.
"Yichang, your village has to harvest rapeseed in advance this year. How come it's growing better than our village?"
Feng Gui doesn't work, his task is to build a good relationship with the head of Xiaqiu Village.
The head of the village said, "There is no other way. If it's too late, we can harvest it together. Who will help? This year, wheat and rapeseed will be harvested together."
When the time comes, if you have nothing to eat, you can exchange it for herbs and straw, or rapeseed stalks, which a 20,000-acre wheat village will not be able to eat.
This year my village will plant japonica rice. Let’s see if it’s good and the yield. If it’s similar to indica rice, you can plant it too. "
The chief of the village is mainly worried about the low yield of japonica rice and the large portion of indica rice, because others don’t grow it! If it tastes good but doesn’t work, the main thing is to eat enough.
Feng Gui nodded repeatedly, yes, Xiaqiu Village is taking the lead and is not afraid of problems. Xiaqiu Village can hold on.
He looked at the hard-working villagers in his village and said: "Yichang, my village is planning to open up wasteland, and we will rent your big livestock to us."
We will give you rapeseed or ramie seeds, and we will keep your livestock well-raised. Last year, all villages planted purple flowers.
We ourselves only pick a few handfuls while they are young to eat as wild vegetables, and the rest are specially prepared for your village livestock. "
"Do you want to grow wheat?" the mayor asked speculatively.
"It's tiring to sow wheat! Sowing wheat is easy. Just leave the seeds for us. I heard from other villages that we can also plant wheat and open up wasteland."
Feng Gui admitted that seeing Xiaqiu Village eating food freely, who wouldn’t be anxious?
In the past, land reclamation could not be carried out at all. We lacked oil and water, which would tire people to death, and they would not be able to survive by eating too much food.
The big animals that were rented last year were hard work. The key was to eat and nourish themselves in Xiaqiu Village. They had meat every meal and could eat as much as they wanted.
This year, the villagers agreed to finish harvesting rapeseed and ramie, buy meat, plant more land, and follow the example of Xiaqiu Village in catching piglets to feed.
He found that the more meat he had to eat, the more capable he was, and the more dry he was, the more meat he had to eat. The key was to get over it once, harvest one more crop, and his life would change.
The director didn't know Feng Laosi's psychological activities, so he expressed his support: "Tell me what you want to do in advance, and I will write you a way to deal with it. Don't mess around."
"I promise to ask you. We are going to catch pigs this year. You asked us to raise ducks and geese some time ago, and we have raised them. We can raise a few chickens and put them in the yard to lay eggs."
Feng Gui was convinced that a 'god' had been kidnapped in Xiaqiu Village. What the officials from the imperial court taught him was too difficult to remember.
If you really encounter a problem, it is better to ask people from Xiaqiu Village to take a look. Xiaqiu Village has experience and can teach you step by step more effectively than memorizing things.
"We should catch pigs. Actually...well! You can pool your money to buy big animals and harvest an extra crop. What will you do with the money?"
The head of the village hesitated for a moment, but then said what he thought. Except for the first few animals in Xiaqiu Village, all the other animals belonged to the village.
The previous ones were bought and became village assets for easy management.
Feng Gui's eyes lit up: "I'll go back and discuss with everyone before buying it."
The sun was in the middle, the cotton planting was finished, and the crowds were moving faster. People from Xihe Village wanted to leave, and people from Xiaqiu Village were dragging them to eat.
I ate bamboo rats today. They didn't escape after all. They were braised and very fragrant.
In addition, cucumbers were fried with eggs, and black bean sauce was used to make eggplant sauce. The latter used a lot of oil, and eggplants are the most oily.
The people in Xihe Village are very embarrassed because they don’t have enough money to eat even if they are paid for their work.
Feng Gui was calm and shouted: "Eat, eat hard, remember the goodness of Xiaqiu Village. When we have money, we will also treat the people of Xiaqiu Village to delicious food."
After hearing what the village chief said, the villagers thought it made sense. Xiaqiu Village is rich, why don't we treat him to a meal after we make a lot of money?
Today's staple food is rice. Three dishes are not suitable for eating pasta. Zhu Wentian ate very happily. There was an extra dish on the main table, green onions with dipping sauce.
Just after eating, Zhou Zong, who had left before, arrived with ten different people. He laughed and washed his hands, and finally ate bamboo rats.
Hey to Hanhan first, and then said to the headman: "We are staying here today, and I have brought good things. If you ask me if you know, I understand! Hey hey hey!"
After hearing this, the mayor got up and went to get the wine. He didn't leave to drink at night! The other ten people were also given alcohol, and they were not allowed to drink alcohol normally.
Feng Gui and other people from Xihe Village finished their meal and left, and the villagers also went to work.
Only then did Zhou Zong ask someone to bring over the things, three fire blunderbuss and a hand blunderbuss.
"The palace was worried that someone from the village might be arrested, so he sent three cannons to the village for consideration. The village will see if they can make them themselves. There is also a recipe for gunpowder."
Zhou Zongdao explained the purpose of handguns, so he did not give them to you directly. Three guns are not enough. You can make them yourself after taking a look!
Zhu Wentian was very surprised. Is Zhu Yuanzhang so generous? Are villages allowed to privately manufacture firearms? Isn't he trying to find a reason to massacre the village?
He lowered his head to look at the gun. There was no inscription on it, that is, where it was made, who made it, etc.
The head of the village was even more frightened: "The village doesn't need it, take it back! How can we make firearms? We don't dare."
"It's okay for you to use it but not for you to use it. If I ask you to make it, you have to make at least a few of them, otherwise... hmm!"
Zhou Zong gave the headman a look that said you would be in trouble if you dare to resist the order, do you understand?
"This, this... alas! Thank you, Your Majesty." The chief stood up, knelt down and kowtowed in the direction of Nanjing.
Zhu Wentian did not move. He was a fool and had no need to cooperate. At this moment, he looked down upon the three muskets, gunpowder and formula on the table.
Load the powder in the front, press it with a plug, put in the marbles, there is a fuse and a medicine pool at the back, light the fuse, aim at the opponent, and fire.
Just let my village build this crap? hehe!
There is also a gunpowder formula on the paper. Why put so much saltpeter in it? Coupled with all kinds of ashes, gunpowder is not powerful enough.
However, since it is easier to allow your own village to develop, what the village needs is a certificate, and you can adjust it yourself with the certificate.
After the chief had kowtowed, Zhou Zong gave him the secret edict. This could not go through Zuo Cheng and You Cheng, as they would definitely object.
"Yichang, um... I told you that your village has made great achievements. This year's wheat production will not be reduced too much. The palace has made a lot of money. I am afraid that someone will do harm to the village."
Zhou Zong explained clearly the reason why he gave you the power to make firecrackers in the village. As for why he didn’t give you enough firecrackers, huh! You know, your village is good at it, can build it, and can guarantee it.
