"Can this fish be raised?" Zhu Biao knew how to raise fish, but he just put it in the pond normally and let the fish grow slowly.
He could hear the meaning behind the long words, and it was obvious that he was not that kind.
“Provide the fish with food, and then put it in a place to protect the eggs after the fish spawn, let the eggs turn into small fish, and then raise the small fish to big size.
Not only the lakes near Chihe and Nushan in front can bring prosperity to the people, but also to the east of our place, Tianchang County in Fengyang Prefecture, there are many swamps.
Nowadays, there are gorgon seeds in the local area, but they are all wild. Some people pick them to eat or sell them.
So much swamp land is wasted. It is better to let the people plant a large number of Gorgon seeds.
In Xihe Village next to our Xiaqiu Village, a mud pond has been renovated, and lotus and water lilies will be planted in it.
By then there will be a large number of lotus seeds, lotus roots, gorgon seeds, fish and shrimps, and a better environment will be provided for ducks and geese. "
After talking about plum fish farming in Jiuxian County, the village chief mentioned the swamp area in Tianchang County.
There is always wild gorgon fruit in the local area, that is, chicken head rice, which can be used as rice, cooking, and medicine.
The number of wild ones is limited, and some people don’t have boats, so it’s inconvenient to pick them there.
Unless you are hungry, then find a way to get some food. Some people will wait for it to be ripe to pick it and sell it.
This thing cannot be eaten as a staple food, but it is still good when made into porridge.
The key is that it does not occupy normal fertile land. The Ming Dynasty relied entirely on wild Gorgon seeds, which was obviously not enough.
"Okay, wait until you come back and ask about the situation in Xihe Village. If it is feasible, let the government lead the people to plant."
Zhu Biao was so happy that he brought out the growth. He had just crossed the Yangtze River and immediately came up with ways to increase the income of the local people.
Xiaqiu Village helped other villages get rich in Xuancheng County, and when it came to Yingtian Mansion, it came up with many ideas to help people make more money.
The key is that he is going on tour as the prince this time. If he can give guidance to the people, his father will be very happy.
So we had a nice meal, and Zhu Biao asked the chief to talk about things.
Tomorrow we will collect the dried chrysanthemums and let the people catch fish. At the same time, there is no shortage of crabs here. The meat of the crabs can be taken out separately and made into dry food.
The head of the village told Zhu Biao that there were no crabs in many places in the north, let alone in Mobei.
Even if it is not shipped far away, crab meat can be reprocessed into delicious food and people will buy it.
Early the next morning, people across Chuzhou got the news and were waiting in their villages and counties.
The people from the prince's team went to collect chrysanthemums with money and scales, and the price they gave was 50% higher than the local price.
Zhu Biao once again summoned officials and gave them the methods he had learned and written down, asking them to lead the people to do it.
No coercion is allowed, and no one is allowed to delay others from doing farm work or other tasks. Just find someone who is free.
As for Tianchang County, he also wrote a letter to the county magistrate, and another letter to Fengyang Mansion, arriving in advance so that arrangements could be made early.
It was delayed until noon before everyone continued on their way. As they walked forward, they saw Chihe, a place rich in plum fish.
There was a bridge on the river, and there were rice fields on both sides of the river. The team crossed the river from the bridge. When they reached the other side of the river, Zhu Wentian turned back and threw a net and caught a lot of fish.
"Soup, drink it tonight! Hey hey hey hey!" Zhu Wentian told everyone that these fish will be used to make soup at night.
The friends ran over to help clean up the fish, tied them with grass and carried them away.
It was already evening, and obviously we couldn't go to Fengyang County today. Someone had already set up camp in front of us.
We had dinner late tonight and have been on the road. During the day, we were wasted on collecting chrysanthemums. Those who came early were not aware of the situation and pitched their tents closer to the front.
The sound of "buzzing" sounded, and the small steam engine brought by the village that was not a spare part started to rotate.
Others pulled the wires and installed lights, and a large area was lit.
In other places, everyone uses lanterns and torches to light their meals, but here there are electric lights.
"With this thing, it is convenient to travel!" Zhu Biao watched the lights turn on and admired sincerely.
Zhu Wentian next to him: "..."
He said to himself that it is convenient for you to travel. Who in the right mind would bring a steam engine with him when he goes out? Just to shine a light?
Of course, steam engines have other uses, such as electric fans, which cannot be controlled in several gears.
If you modify it, you can use it to make popcorn sticks. This is not difficult. You can make it once when you have time, and make it when you get to a big county, and sell it to make money.
It’s called an extruder, which is used to process feed, including feeding fish and animals. Naturally, people use good grain to make snacks.
When heated and puffed, the sugar also comes out, making it taste very sweet.
Sorghum and millet are both good. There is currently no corn. Even adding some wheat bran can make it puffed.
Zhu Biao didn't know that he was despised by Hanhan. He thought it was normal. It was very convenient to bring a small steam engine with him in the team.
After dinner, he asked the mayor again: "Is there anything good here?"
The head of the village understood what the prince was asking. He shook his head and nodded: "Fengyang is surrounded by mountains in the south, a bay in the north, and hills and rivers in the middle.
If there are any special products, there really are none, but the geographical environment and the river are wealth in themselves.
It is nothing more than planting and breeding. The gentle slopes of the hills are suitable for planting tea trees. His Highness has also seen other places where food is grown.
As for the mountains, there is no rush to plant fruit trees now. They will bear fruit in a few years and you will make money.
In addition, grape cultivation is also good, and raisins can be harvested.
Raising fish in the river bay is troublesome, but raising ducks and geese is easy, and with the mature technology of raising pigs, it can be raised.
The construction of Zhongdu will continue in the future, and a large amount of food and non-staple food will be needed.
Including oil crops, as long as it is planned out, mineral fertilizers and farmyard manure are added, and the mud is cleared, people's livelihood will not be worried. "
The head of the village introduced the local situation. There is nothing special, but the environment is good and suitable for the growth of oil crops, including rice and wheat.
For farmed pigs and other things, if you have oil crops, you can produce oil residues, straw and other things that can be used as feed.
"Can a breeding transfer station be set up here?" Zhu Biao thought that the people in the team were some of the people working and studying in Xiaqiu Village.
They have to follow and build the transfer center first. Rabbit breeding has not yet been learned. They will teach it after the next group of people have learned it.
"To build a capital, it is natural to have a transit center, and the scale should be even larger. Your Highness is trying to find a way for the people to make money immediately in a short period of time?"
The head of the village said and realized that His Royal Highness wanted a quick way to make the people get more money immediately.
Zhu Biao smiled sheepishly and nodded again. He also realized that he was in trouble.
"Yes, there are medicinal materials in the mountains and ditches, and there are also many snakes. We must first provide the people with medicine to repel snakes and mosquitoes, so that they can easily pick the medicinal materials.
There is medicine in the team that can be prepared at any time, and His Highness can also send sergeants to help clean it up.
Kill the big wild boars, jackals, and wolves, and catch as many snakes as possible. As for foxes and other small animals, don't worry too much. "
The chief nodded and came up with a way to use the power of the prince's team.
