The head of the village gave the list, and Zhou Zong got it. After dinner, he arranged for someone to send him off and record it in the palace.
Thirty-two people are going to go, no matter how many or how little, according to normal procedures, no village is qualified to go.
Even if he is a hundred years old, it won't work, unless His Majesty specifically seeks out the older people around him, such as those who are eighty years old, to provide benefits.
The exception is Xiaqiu Village. His contribution is too great and he does not need any official position or title reward.
What the palace can give to Xiaqiu Village is dry goods from the sea, and Xiaqiu Village provides the palace with food recipes and good things for trading with the barbarians.
The palace replenished medicinal materials for the Xiaqiu Village Pharmacy, and Xiaqiu Village sent many new prescriptions and life-saving medicines to the palace.
His Majesty showed special mercy and allowed the village to make its own firearms. The village seemed not to attach much importance to the three fire blunderbuss and never made them.
Zhou Zong knew clearly that Ming Dynasty owed Xiaqiu Village, and the efforts and gains of both parties were not equal.
What should I do? When the prince got married, he called the family and invited them to watch the ceremony. Judging from the mood of the prince, it seemed that he was not very willing!
He thought about it again and found that he was right. Others wanted to see His Majesty in order to be appreciated.
The head of Xiaqiu Village holds a seal for delivering a letter to the Prince's Mansion. What more appreciation does he need?
Once someone seals the letter with that seal, it must be delivered immediately, urgently.
Usually there is no need to seal it with paint, and both parties send food and supplies to each other. The special glaze for the prince's marriage had to be made in the village.
"People from Zhou She, have a drink." Seeing Zhou Zong in a daze, the chief reminded him.
"Oh! Drink!" Zhou Zong held the cup and took a sip: "The winter wheat yield per mu in our village is higher than other places. I have to report it."
"It's hard to learn. You have to pay close attention to fertilizers. How can ordinary people grow wheat like this? Farming is a science."
The village chief understands that an extra acre can be harvested by two bushels, or in other words, an increase of one-sixth of the income.
This means that the wheat grown by others lasts for six months, and the wheat grown by Xiaqiu Village lasts for seven months, which is one extra month.
Zhu Taiyi said at this time: "No matter what fertilizer is used, the wheat grains in our village are growing well now, and it is better to use it as seeds than in other places."
"Then we won't eat it, we will keep some of it to grow ourselves, some will be given to other villages, and the rest will be exchanged with the court for planting."
The manager was reasonable and willing to trade with the wheat growers north of the Yangtze River on a one-to-one basis.
Wheat is grown in the village for food, but it would still be eaten in other places.
For example, if the rice production increased last year, it will be exchanged for the villages in the county. I think the rapeseed and ramie seeds harvested this year will also need to be exchanged.
Hanhan always keeps an eye on the crops and fertilizes them in various ways, so the seeds must be good, so he can choose one and plant it for others.
Thinking of this, the head of the village suggested: "Don't rush to replace them now, my village will use the salt water seed selection method to select once, and replace the selected ones.
After we select the seeds, clean them, and sterilize them, the seeds will have a high germination rate, good growth, and a large harvest.
We were able to increase production because of the seed selection pond that I built alone, and I forgot to write down the recipe and passed it on. "
"You have to write it down after eating! If you forget, how many fields in the Ming Dynasty will lose their income?"
Zhou Zong is so helpless, can he forget this? Is it okay to add salt to the key seed?
"Okay." The chief agreed. He didn't know yet that Zhou Zong suspected of adding salt, otherwise he would have told him that it was not just salt, but also lime water.
"I'm going to use something for growing vegetables this year. When the cotton grows, my village will try it and let His Royal Highness know when it's done."
The manager thought of something that Hanhan said he would use this year, so he mentioned it.
"What is it?" Zhou Zong was curious!
"Copper sulfate and calcium hydroxide are then turned into basic copper sulfate. This thing is effective in treating some common diseases of many crops."
The director said the name without thinking. He has been studying very hard with Hanhan recently!
Zhou Zong: "????"
"Chief, please tell me in detail." Zhou Zong didn't believe it. He knew every word. Why did it look like that when put together?
"Green vitriol must first be distilled to obtain sulfuric acid. The sulfuric acid reacts with copper to obtain copper sulfate. Calcined limestone becomes quicklime. Quicklime is added with water to become hydrated lime, which is calcium hydroxide.
The next step is to put copper sulfate and calcium hydroxide together and add water to turn into basic copper sulfate. Yes, the original quicklime is called calcium oxide.
Oh, and there is green vitriol, which is actually called ferrous sulfate heptahydrate. If you encounter water, you can get it without water by distillation.
For example, our previous stone soda is called sodium carbonate decahydrate. If you bake it, it will turn into soda ash.
Bitter salt, you know? Magnesium sulfate heptahydrate, bake it when there is water, and it will be magnesium sulfate after baking. You will know it when I say this, right? "
The leader's study finally came to fruition, and he said to Zhou Zong.
Not only Zhou Zong was confused, but other people at the same table were also confused.
Zhu Taiyi covered his eyes with his hands and rubbed them. He wanted to tell Zhu Yichang that you speak human language.
At this moment, he asked himself three soul questions: Who am I? Where do I come from? Where do I go?
No, yes, who am I and where am I? Who hit me on the head and it hurts so much?
On the contrary, Zhu Wentian kept nodding slightly, yes, that's it.
Come on, Commander, you can learn better than my friends. I will teach you in the future.
Zhou Zong picked up the wine cup and felt that today's wine was too strong and he was confused. His eyes felt uncomfortable and his head hurt.
He still resisted taking a sip of wine, and when he breathed out the alcohol, he found that he felt much more refreshed.
"What is that! Chief Li, when you write... choose something that everyone can understand." Zhou Zong was helpless.
Except for Hanhan, everyone present nodded, yes, talk nicely.
"Forget it, let me think about what to say. In fact, the copper sulfate just mentioned does not necessarily have to be put together with calcium hydroxide to become basic copper sulfate.
It can also be put together with soap to turn into copper soap liquid, which is very useful for preventing and treating some diseases in the seedling stage.
Have you seen Soap? It is soap. The difference between the two lies in the addition of fragrance. In fact, it should be called fatty acid metal salt. right! That's the name. "
The director followed the words but couldn't help but started talking. He asked him to change a word, but he didn't know it!
"Yichang, I'll do it, you can do whatever you want!" Zhu Taisan picked up the wine cup, raised his head, and drank it all.
Others came to accompany them, drinking, and having fun was the most important thing. The chief originally wanted to introduce some information, but seeing everyone's attitude, he also drank.
…
When it was time to rest at night, the villagers of Xiaqiu Village sent mosquito coils, coiled incense, and circling incense, which are simpler to make than string incense.
For string incense, you need to cut off the ends and straighten the middle. This is not the case for coiled incense. Use a tool to press on a piece of incense, press it and pick it up. When it dries, there will be two mosquito coils.
Villagers in other villages couldn't sleep for a while. They picked up oil lamps and walked around the village listening to the barking of dogs.
Dog barking is obviously supposed to be disturbing, but some people just find it peaceful.
The chief looked around but didn't see Hanhan. He asked the child, who told him the location of Brother Hanhan.
Set up a shelf by the river to stay cool, with a mosquito net. The key is to put two four-corner nets in the water.
In the middle of the net are a few pieces of pork skin, used to attract fish, wheat fish, which will be fried tomorrow and given to the friends as snacks, and wrapped in a layer.
