Queen Ma was holding a sweater with sleeves still on, knowing that this was definitely not knitted by Xiaqiu Village to keep warm in winter.
There are silks and cottons in Xiaqiu Village. There are many choices in winter, so there is no need to knit a sweater.
The areas north of the Yellow River are most useful, as well as the Jurchens and Korea.
If the demand for wool is high, more people will be willing to raise sheep.
This is to encourage more people with animal husbandry experience to go to the grassland after defeating Beiyuan!
As for how to turn wool into wool, I believe that Xiaqiu Village will soon spread the method, and they will not do it themselves.
Judging from the proficiency of the women in Xiaqiu Village, they have obviously been learning to knit sweaters for some time.
The master laid out the plan very early and was really thoughtful.
On the other side, Zhu Yuanzhang was eating happily: "Yichang, we used to eat and drink like this when we were at war, but when we became emperor, we couldn't do it anymore.
The emperor must act like an emperor, and the ministers will stop you. The feeling of that time can only be found in our Xiaqiu Village.
If you bring it up as a transit point, our eyes will hurt from looking at it. Rabbit is okay? "
“Your Majesty, don’t worry, it’s not difficult to raise rabbits, not only rabbits, but also deer and musk deer.
Male musk deer have sachets on their bodies. The musk inside is medicine and should not be touched by pregnant women or those with cold symptoms.
There is no need to kill the musk deer to obtain the fragrance when raising them. You can collect them alive, so the musk deer will have a continuous supply. "
From raising rabbits to raising deer and musk deer, deer antlers can also be grown repeatedly without the need to behead the antler.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the village leader and asked, "Can the village be raised first?"
"Yes!" The chief nodded.
"Good! The actions in Xiaqiu Village are the most reassuring." Zhu Yuanzhang was happy.
He didn't even know that he was being led astray by Xiaqiu Village. Whenever the ministers said something, if it involved something specific, he wanted that minister to give it a try.
However, you don’t need to try it in terms of general systems, it makes sense.
The senior people in Xiaqiu Village sometimes say things through Li Chang's mouth, which cannot be directly verified.
But when it comes to a specific situation, it's different. How do I know if it will work? Get it out and take a look.
Fortunately, the ministers don't touch such things at all, they don't know how, and they are all in a high position.
"Biao'er came back in a hurry and wanted me to hold an imperial examination for you alone and ask you to be the number one scholar." Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly mentioned this matter.
"Thank you, Your Highness, the Crown Prince, but then Xiaqiu Village will become the target of public criticism, and countless people will criticize Xiaqiu Village verbally and writtenly.
Including some people hiding in the dark, using this matter to criticize His Majesty and incite public sentiment.
The ancestors of Xiaqiu Village are happy to have a fellow Jinshi, and I will be honored as a member of my family. "
The head of the village told Zhu Biao that this was not possible.
Then he reached into his arms, took out a few pieces of paper, took a look at them, and nodded. This time he got it right.
"Your Majesty, please see that the pedal-operated paddle wheel mentioned yesterday can be made according to the design drawings and there will be no problems."
"Drink! You can only drink white wine when drinking mutton soup. Drinking other wines will fill your stomach."
Zhu Yuanzhang took a few pieces of paper and handed them to his son, but he didn't read them.
It's useless for him to see it now. He will ask the craftsmen to make a boat and try it out to see if it works.
Zhu Biao didn't look at it either. He was afraid that he would have questions after reading it, and then the director would answer it, which would delay his meal.
The chief picked up the small bamboo tube containing pepper and poured pepper into the soup: "Your Majesty, the price of pepper has dropped a lot recently. What tricks did the palace use?"
"We linked the quota of glass mirrors to pepper. Their pepper belonged to last year. This year's green pepper is being harvested and has not been shipped yet.
Some glass mirrors are sold according to the price of pepper. Pepper usually costs one tael, but my mirror only costs one hundred guan for a small piece.
Pepper costs a pound, and mirrors cost two hundred and fifty cents each.
There are many Yi people selling pepper. Some people lower the price of pepper in order to obtain mirrors at a low price.
The number of mirrors linked to pepper is limited, and other people's peppers are affected by low prices and are difficult to sell.
Let’s just say that this pepper is not worth the money. If you want to sell it, we can sell it. If you don’t sell it, we won’t want it. "
Zhu Yuanzhang told him his method. He already knew that pepper was not worth the money outside, it was very cheap.
It was the Yi people who monopolized the market and then went to the Ming Dynasty to demand high prices.
It was not just the Ming Dynasty, but also hundreds of years ago.
If the transportation distance is long, how much space can the pepper take up? How dare you sell it so expensively? Isn’t it just to see if we don’t have it?
The most annoying thing is that the Song Dynasty and the Yuan Dynasty have already gone there, and when merchants bring pepper back, they still don't lower the price.
Pepper is a medicine. The Ming Dynasty needs it. How can it be done without reducing it?
"Your Majesty, plant it in Qiongzhou Prefecture! It will bear fruit in three years. With the cutting method, if there are good branches, it can be harvested in small quantities in more than two years.
If Your Majesty wants to plant seedlings in Qiongzhou Prefecture, Xiaqiu Village will use peppercorns to raise seedlings and use good fertilizer to promote them, regardless of the cost.
When the pepper harvest begins, all costs are fully repaid.
The main reason is that the price of imported pepper can no longer be maintained, and we have it ourselves.
Your Majesty, Qiongzhou Prefecture is a good place. Even though the big island is covered with mountains, you can grow cucumbers and watermelons directly there in winter!
Anything that cannot be grown elsewhere due to cold weather can be grown there. There are so many mountains that we can blow them up!
Don’t blow up at the ends of the earth. After all, it is the place where the moon rises over the sea and we share this moment with the ends of the earth.
In fact, there is nothing, they are all stones, uh... Then who said that, even if Lu Huitou is everywhere, there are also mountains.
Uh-huh! That's it, do you want to plant or not? I haven’t been there yet! Want to take a look. "
As Li Chang spoke, he felt longing for it, the ends of the earth and the ends of the earth! Feeling particularly...romantic?
Zhu Wentian was drinking soup slowly beside him. He actually wanted to say that it was not interesting at all.
Hainan Island is suitable for growing things, but tourism is not developed at all right now. The mosquitoes there are silent when they fly. Once they are bitten or scratched, they will have a black spot that will not disappear for several years.
There are also cockroaches, over an inch long, that jump at your face.
In addition, there are geckos, just like in Hebei Province. When I looked up, I saw several of them crawling on the wall, which gave me goosebumps.
"Okay, Qiongzhou Prefecture is great!" Zhu Yuanzhang had never been to that place. He just thought of a pepper growing land.
It is difficult for the local people in Qiongzhou to farm, and they have to dig mountains bit by bit.
But if the imperial court helps with explosives, the people will be very happy. If they provide more iron tools, they will be even happier.
"Your Majesty, other dynasties don't pay much attention to Qiongzhou because it has little cultivated land and no good specialties. At the same time, there is a strait blocking it.
But in that location, you can grow things that cannot be grown elsewhere. Otherwise, you can only go further west, where there are places where the same crops can be grown.
But they don't listen to us now. Yunnan thinks it can do it on its own. If we want to fight now, it's better to wait.
Let's wait for the Ming Dynasty navy to be established. Then we can attack them by land and water. We won't waste any effort in defeating them. They just rely on some geographical environment to hinder others. "
Following the topic of Qiongzhou Mansion, the Li Chief started talking about Yunnan, which is not listening to Daming now.
Let me talk about a sad thing first. The farmer's keyboard got soaked in water. The farmer had to take it to the bathroom to wash it. It is estimated that it will take several days before the keyboard can be used again. Let me talk about another pleasant thing. The farmhouse has a backup keyboard, but the switches are different. The current ones are brown switches. The rebound is small when typing, which feels awkward. The sound is small and does not disturb the neighbors. Use it first! Wait until the one is empty, dried, and ready for use before replacing it. Everyone, vote! My typing experience is weak, and my finger joints feel sour and uncomfortable.
