"This year we have cucumber, eggplant, and cowpea seedlings that were grown in the greenhouse in advance and have been transplanted outside to see how they grow."
Zhu Yuanzhang chatted with the village leader about farming while eating. He was better than many students, especially in cattle herding skills.
He knows that when the temperature is high, the seeds will germinate after being planted.
The temperature at which germination occurs can actually allow crops to grow.
Grow seedlings in advance. When the seeds can be planted, plant the seedlings directly, saving half a month or even a month.
Especially watermelon seeds are too difficult to unearth and must be harvested late.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, you will be able to plant another crop of vegetables a month early. For example, plant cucumbers in advance and stop planting them when the harvest is high. In this way, you can plant three times a year, and the last crop of cucumbers can be used to make pickles. .”
When the mayor saw that His Majesty said to grow vegetables, he should grow vegetables. Normally, cucumbers are planted twice a year. If he wanted to plant them a third time, the temperature would be difficult to support the growth of cucumbers before the harvest period.
So by raising seedlings and transplanting in advance, you can reach the peak production period first, and then the frost will come, and you can grab a lot of vegetables within a month.
Cucumbers can also be dried. Nowadays, Jubiqi’s pickles mainly use dried vegetables, which is better than fresh vegetables for making pickles.
Fresh vegetables will be dehydrated if they are directly made into sauce. Dried vegetables are already dehydrated and absorb water when they are made into sauce.
Therefore, Jubiqi's pickles are delicious, while other people's fresh vegetables and pickles are prone to mold. Jubiqi's pickles will not get moldy unless the weather is too hot and they are left outside.
Zhu Yuanzhang likes to hear such down-to-earth words, which truly fall into the fields where people live. Xiaqiu Village has studied this very deeply.
So he said on the topic: "The change of seasons has a great impact on cucumber planting. One more month for seedlings to emerge and one more portion to be gained.
This is the way of balance. Gaining and giving are constant. However, it is difficult for the human heart to maintain and measure it, so it has to be balanced.
The difficulty is that one end of the scale is the human heart, and the other end is interests. The weight of the scale is adjusted and trembling. "
When the words came out, Zhu Yuanzhang saw the merits, made a pun, and asked about politics.
The director inadvertently glanced at Hanhan again, feeling grateful in his heart. Sure enough! Hanhan said it in advance.
“Your Majesty, the purpose of scales and measurement is the people’s livelihood, that is, fairness.
If the people do not know, they should be taught to know, for the sake of enlightenment.
The most important part of education is knowledge, and the first thing to know is publicity.
The common people make boats for Shui Lord, not the courtiers who make boats for Shui Lord.
As far as the people know, when a ship goes out to sea or crosses a river, if only one person is allowed to use the sails and oars, those who do not respond will be killed on the spot.
The court of the Ming Dynasty is like a giant boat, all the people are water, preaching to all people, the water only knows the king, the rest will not obey the orders, kill them! "
The director was so excited. He used it and used it again. It was so awesome!
Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes lit up, yes! What kind of balance do I have? I asked the people to support me and the soldiers to support me.
As for you officials, without the support of the common people and grassroots soldiers, I can kill whoever I want.
You are thinking about how to isolate the king in the court, so I will ignore you and think that the Ming Dynasty is like the former Song Dynasty?
"伱...you..." Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly understood and looked at the chief and said.
"Your Majesty, I am not. I really am not. I said it last time. Even if I am not good at it, I will still learn."
The commander knows what His Majesty is thinking! He must tell the truth, otherwise His Majesty asked a super question, what should I do?
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, we just want to say that you are very good, at least remember it clearly." Zhu Yuanzhang realized that it was not him.
"Yes, yes! The grassroots worked very hard to remember it." The chief continued to tell the truth.
"Then what? The sacrificial hall is too small. There are only three entrances. If there are two more entrances, there will be another area in the back. There must be a pool and a corridor!"
Zhu Yuanzhang decided to give rewards. This was too important. He controlled the people's hearts and military power. Others... Haha!
From this point of view, the centralization of power in the Song Dynasty did not understand the strong and weak branches!
People in the past learned that "the king is like a boat; the common people are like water." Water carries the boat, water overturns the boat. 'I didn't learn clearly, I wasn't thorough enough!
It turns out that this can be used to win over Shui to fuck the disobedient crew members. good! Great kindness! The ambition of an expert is immeasurable!
So after finishing his meal, Zhu Yuanzhang probably drank too much and felt erratic, so he crossed the river.
"Why do we need to cross the river? If something happens, do the people from Xiaqiu Village have to swim over? Build a bridge. Build a city wall in the exposed area of Xiaqiu Village."
Zhu Yuanzhang was dissatisfied. This is outside Chaoyang Gate, with the Qinhuai River, and across the river is the cluster of houses outside Xiaqiu Village.
It's too troublesome to have a boat to go back and forth. It would be more convenient to build a bridge.
"Your Majesty, if this is the case, the enemy can attack from the bridge." A eunuch reminded.
"Then send people to build a city outside Xiaqiu Village and leave an opening for Xiaqiu Village to travel. Build a wooden bridge. How many enemies can rush over from it?
Catapults on the city wall threw yellow gunpowder and blew up the bridge in one wave. What's more, Xiaqiu Village is dead? They had flintlocks and dynamite.
Build a bridge, otherwise it will be inconvenient. Ask them if they want a floating bridge, an arch bridge, or a suspension bridge? "
Zhu Yuanzhang didn't care whether someone could hit him through the bridge, why should he worry about the enemy outside the two city walls?
If the enemy really could hit here, the people from Xiaqiu Village would have come in long ago, and the others would explode. Unless the enemy soldiers descend from the sky.
Could it be that the enemy has already attacked Nanjing and he still doesn’t know about it? Where did it come from?
"Dad, is that kid looking for someone to build an open-hearth furnace? This is good. Scrap steel and scrap iron can be used to make steel."
We have reached Donghua Gate ahead, and Zhu Biao has already arrived home. He cannot continue walking, and the princess also has to rest.
"Yes, there are also open hearths and matches. Make the matches quickly and send them to Tiande and the others quickly. The matches feel similar to flintlock guns!"
Zhu Yuanzhang remembered that when he went to help cook the stove and have a meal today, he not only learned how to distract the courtiers, but also gained something new.
Little did he know that most people would never think of this, because when this strategy was most powerful, the land of China...
The east is red and the sun is rising; Liuyang River; I love the north...
The two parties parted ways, and Zhu Biao sent the princess back: "In this way, the track can be built all the way to Xiaqiu Village and across the river! From now on, we can go directly there for dinner."
"Isn't it in line with etiquette?" The Crown Princess was actually willing to eat the food cooked by Xiaqiu Village. Just now, the pregnant woman from Xiaqiu Village ate with her.
Everyone whispered about their feelings about having a baby. It was her first time and she was very nervous, but the pregnant women in Xiaqiu Village had experience, so they taught her and comforted her.
"It's not consistent with the truth. The master is so powerful. He never helped others before, but now he helps us. The idea he came up with has never been seen in the history books I have read."
Zhu Biao doesn’t care! What the Li Chief said today is simply terrifying. Using the common people as an excuse for ministers, who would have thought of this?
The struggle between the emperor and his ministers in the court is a balance! Then the emperor, who had more power and troops, kept changing his ministers.
It turned out that the master had a more powerful method, which simply jumped out of the Three Realms and was not in the Five Elements.
