"Ling'er, according to your method, we should harvest four crops of soybeans a year."
Zhu Yuanzhang saw that the soybean fields here had sprouted, and the wheat harvest in the 20,000 acres on the other side had just been planted, and the soybeans had just been planted.
The soybeans used to harvest mature seeds are different from the ones in front of you.
However, in Xiaqiu Village, the wheat is plowed immediately after harvesting, instead of planting on wheat stubble, and there are many livestock.
At the same time, various fertilizers are also immediately available. The soybeans are processed in advance, so they germinate quickly after planting.
When the soybeans mature in late autumn, the court will remove them and send them to other places as seeds.
The little girl shook her head: "No! Although soybeans are planted to nourish the land, if they are planted continuously, the soybeans will need less and they will need to be fertilized.
The yield of soybeans will decrease after repeated soybean cropping. If the land is left alone, the more you plant, the worse it will be. In the end, you may not be able to get back the number of seeds.
This year we will not plant any more soybean silage after harvesting it. Our village has tried its best.
Then they will plant sweet sorghum. Sweet sorghum contains a lot of sugar and is suitable for silage. In the next two years, sweet sorghum will be planted.
Sweet sorghum can produce four crops of silage a year. Sorghum stubble is difficult to harvest, but our village is not afraid of it.
Your Majesty, didn’t you give me a lot of land? It happened to be opened to plant soybean silage. After more than two years, I will return to this land to plant soybeans. "
Zhu Yuanzhang: "..."
This arranges the place I just gave, but raising livestock is indeed not easy.
Horses cannot eat silage, so dry feed must be set aside, and they must be fed grain concentrates, plus salt and minerals.
The key point is that the large livestock in Xiaqiu Village are still used for breeding. What they eat in a day is equivalent to the food of several ordinary households.
After another turn, Zhu Yuanzhang returned to his house and worked on the question book with the prince.
The crops here have been harvested and new ones have been planted. It will take some time before jute is planted again. Ten people from the village can just leave behind to take care of them.
When the time comes, let's all go together and still take the canal instead of the Yangtze River over there. The Yangtze River has strong currents and is prone to danger.
…
On the other side, Qin King Zhu Feng was talking to two people, Li Xin and Li Yan, who were in charge of the Xiaqiu Village Department Store.
They finally confirmed that they were working for His Majesty. His Majesty went on a patrol on a hot day and went to Xiaqiu Village to see the wheat harvest and rice planting.
It's terrible that the saintly grace of Xiaqiu Village is like this. I have to work hard. If I do well, I will pass the crappy imperial examination and become an official directly.
"How have you gotten to know each other in the village lately?"
Zhu Fang values the two people more. In Xiaqiu Village, there is no need to worry about the store, but there are more things to learn.
"I asked back to His Highness. I'm very tired. The people in their village know too many things. We know that once we learn it, we can lead the people to do things when we become officials below."
Li Xin spoke first, saying that he knew what he was going to learn in the village, which in simple terms was breeding and planting.
It seems very simple, but you only know how difficult it is when you learn it.
Once you learn well, you will become a local official, such as a county magistrate, and you can personally go to the countryside to see the situation and guide the people.
Depending on the place, crops and other things change, and you can also write to your own organization, which is the Painting Library above the department store.
The library will arrange teaching or distribute internal publications.
"Don't worry, Your Highness, we will definitely live up to His Highness's trust, study hard, and light a beacon for the people of Ming Dynasty to illuminate the way forward."
Li Yan then said that he found that following the team was a shortcut for officials.
"We haven't entrusted you with anything. We are the King of Qin, and we will eventually go to the fiefdom. Our father needs useful manpower.
In the future, it will not be easy to pass the imperial examination and directly become a high official. You can only climb up from below.
Only with political achievements can you be promoted and reach the sky in one step? snort! wishful thinking.
Study hard for another two or three years, practice your literary talent, and settle accounts quickly.
Have you two seen Zhu Li grow up? Just reach his level. Let me tell you, he studied for more than three years. "
Zhu Feng did not take any credit for himself, nor did he think of bringing all these people to the fiefdom.
When we go to the fiefdom, eight or ninety will be enough, mainly relying on the cooperation with Xiaqiu Village.
It was agreed that Xiaqiu Village would bring the business to the fiefdom and take care of everyone, including his younger brother.
Li Xin and Li Yan responded one after another, saying that they would work hard to contribute to the Ming Dynasty.
…
On the sixth day of May, after breakfast, Zhu Yuanzhang's team set off.
Magistrate Song, Magistrate Li and others did not leave. They had to take another look. It was okay for His Majesty to assign the land to Xiaqiu Village. The problem was that a large area of the land was originally under the control of Taiping Prefecture.
When the land is demarcated, the land is demarcated, but the jurisdiction is not mentioned. Who will listen to it then? No, Xiaqiu Village doesn’t listen to anyone.
Then will people from Taiping Mansion also come over to eat, drink and have fun? Their place is in the mountains, so they shouldn't be here.
I want to live in the mountains, maybe with a shack or something. The house here belongs to my Ningguo Mansion.
Both parties must come to an agreement on this matter. Your Taiping Mansion people are not allowed to cross the border, and our Ningguo Mansion people are not allowed to cross the border.
Now I have to wait and take a look at the newly planted soybeans and rice. Anyway, it won’t delay my work.
…
"The wheat here has been harvested and the beans are planted. The people in Shijiu Lake are also hardworking. I can see the boats casting nets in the distance."
Zhu Yuanzhang was actually very willing to stay in the village, and his own children got along well with the children in the village.
Even children who have just turned one year old can communicate with babies of the same age in the village.
The key point is that both parties are white and fat, with small arms and legs like lotus roots, and neither cry nor make trouble.
This was not the case in the palace before. The baby would cry and fuss, so he could only be coaxed, held and shaken until he became confused and fell asleep.
Later, Xiaqiu Village moved here and began to teach parenting knowledge. The baby cried less often and spent more time learning to talk to adults.
Especially the pacifier, it works. If you give the baby a pacifier to bite and throw in some toys, the baby can sit there and play with it for a long time.
The chief didn't know that His Majesty was thinking about the baby, so he also used a telescope to look at it: "What Your Majesty said is absolutely true. In the past, they could live one day at a time.
Now they want to have a better life, and their spirit and spirit are different.
Just because of hope, the Huimin Pharmacy built by His Majesty lets the people know that even if they cannot be saved in the end, they have not been abandoned.
Huimin Pharmacy is free and will give you all the medicines it can. If you really can't survive, it's a matter of ability.
Without this free medicine, people would be desperate if they could not afford the money to buy medicine. They always feel that they can live if they have money to buy medicine.
People by the lake can go to Nanjing or Xiaqiu Village if they are sick.
But you should go to Nanjing first, where there will be people to look at you, and then go to Xiaqiu Village when you are done with the medicine. "
The village chief looked at the people here and felt happy that his village had changed the lives of many people and made everyone live a good life.
"I have to check Dezhi's pulse when I go back. It will be May soon." When Zhu Yuanzhang heard about seeing a doctor, he thought of Zeng Lu again.
"Your Majesty, when we get to the place, the village will make arrangements immediately." The village chief responded.
