peasant queen

Chapter 222 Establishing Genealogy

When he arrived in South Vietnam, Chen Yuhao was no longer afraid of revealing his identity.There is no need to disguise as before, and the food and clothing are all based on the best.

But Jing Xuan is still searching carefully in the city.

He hoped to find out the mastermind who was preparing to burn food, but unfortunately he searched the city for more than half a month without finding anyone.

Since no one was found, Jing Xuan could only strengthen his defenses.

However, what makes him strange is.Since the arrest of a few punks who set fire that day, nothing happened to the granary.

Jing Xuan waited until the seeds in the granary were distributed to the local people again, and waited until after the harvest before returning to Beijing with the harvested grain.

With so many seeds, it should be enough for most people in the country to share.Jing Xuan thought as he rode on the horse.

After arriving in the capital, Jing Xuan handed over all the food to Chu Yan.Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief, and finally completed the task safely.

Chu Yan was also very happy when he saw that the grain depot was full of grain.

Before, because there were too few types of grains, he didn't dare to taste the taste of these new varieties of grains.Now, there are a lot of these in the warehouse, and I can finally taste what they taste like.

Most of what Jingxuan brought back this time were potatoes, corn, and rapeseed.

Sweet potatoes and peanuts will take a while to mature, and rapeseed is used for oil extraction.So, Chu Yan asked someone to take some potatoes and corn to Renming Hall.

When Jiang Wan saw the potatoes and corn that Chu Yan brought, she knew what he wanted to do.

So, let the people around you take these things to the kitchen and make them into various meals.

Most of the people in the Hall of Renming came from the Jiang family, and they had seen these ingredients long ago.Making these dishes is a piece of cake for them.

Because the corn that Chu Yan brought was old, the kitchen staff ground all the corn into flour.Make cornmeal steamed buns, steamed buns and so on.

After Chu Yan tasted these cornmeal steamed buns and steamed buns, he felt that these were even more delicious than white flour steamed buns.

And the potato is also delicious, whether it is a staple food or a dish.Especially the stewed pork, the taste is absolutely amazing, he has never eaten such delicious meat!

Moreover, this potato is very filling to eat.He only ate one, and after some dishes, he felt full.

Here we go, with these potatoes and corn.I believe that by next year, the people of the entire Dongshang will have enough to eat.

After eating, Chu Yan asked Jiang Wan again, how to squeeze out the oil from those rapeseeds?
Jiang Wan didn't hide anything, and directly took out the oil press that she had drawn some time ago.

It takes a skilled craftsman many trials to make it.Jiang Wan didn't have such a talent in her hands, so naturally she couldn't do it.Now it's just right for Chu Yan.

Chu Yan got the drawing paper, opened it and looked at it.I found that there were many things I didn't understand, so I asked Jiang Wan.

After Jiang Wan explained to him, he still didn't understand.In the end, Chu Yan had no choice but to go to the Ministry of Industry with the drawings.

Among the people in the Ministry of Industry, there are people who know carpentry, after reading the drawings.Then he said to Chu Yan: Take it back and give it a try.

Chu Yan gave him the drawings of the separated parts, and asked him to take them and assemble them after they were done.At that time, we will see if we can make a complete oil press.

A few days later, the official who took the blueprint came with the oil press parts he had made.

Then, assemble according to the drawing.

Chu Yan walked around the oil press, and it looked no different from the drawings.So, I set aside a room to test to see if the oil could be squeezed out.

The rapeseed and oil press are ready, and the next step is to officially start oil extraction.

After several experiments, the official who made the oil press finally squeezed out the oil.Chu Yan was so excited that he couldn't speak.

It's just that the official was a civil servant after all, so he lost his strength after squeezing for a while.

In the end, Chu Yan asked the guards around him to take turns to replace the official.

After more than an hour of hard work, a bag of rapeseed was finally squeezed out.When Chu Yan saw the half-barrel of rapeseed oil, he shouted happily several times.

Unexpectedly, this small rapeseed can really squeeze out oil, and the oil yield is still so high.

Now, the people of Dongshang no longer have to worry about not being able to afford oil.

Although, this rapeseed oil has an indescribable taste.A little less than lard, but better than nothing.

Afterwards, Chu Yan promoted the official to a higher level and made him fully responsible for the rapeseed oil issue.

The official quickly knelt down and thanked him.

The matter of rapeseed oil is settled, and the next step is to wait for sweet potatoes and cotton.If so, these two plantings have also been successfully planted.The people of the entire Eastern Shang Dynasty are no longer afraid of starvation and cold.

Chu Yan and Jiang Wan in the capital have been busy increasing Dongshang's grain production, and everyone in the Jiang family in Jiangyang Village has not been idle.

The first Enke after Chu Yan ascended the throne was held in September, and Jiang Chengshan successfully passed the Juren examination.

Later, the Cao family gave birth to a son for Jiang Chengshan.

After Jiang Chengshan attended the teacher appreciation banquet in Fucheng, he took his wife and children back to Jiangyang Village.This time Jiang Chengshan was admitted to Juren, and the Jiang family was even more happy.

Same as last time, the patriarch opened the ancestral hall again, and also set up running water seats.

Because of Jiang Wan, the status of the Jiang family has improved a lot.There were more people coming to the water mat this time than last time. There were so many servants from the Jiang family that they were too busy, so they specially invited people from the village to help.

After the water banquet, Jiang Chengshan was going to the capital.

It's best to go on the road before it's cold.When Jiang Chengshan went to the capital, Cao's and Jiang Rongjun's two nephews, Jiang Rongyu, naturally also went with him.

Once Jiang Rongyu and Jiang Rongjun left, the Liang family would naturally follow.She couldn't be left alone in Jiangyang Village.

In the end, several members of the Jiang family discussed and decided to go to the capital together.

Since he decided to go to the capital, he naturally had to tell the patriarch.And these workshops at home have to be dealt with together.

After thinking for a while, Mrs. Liang sent a letter to Jiang Wan in the capital, asking her what to do with these properties in her family.

In addition to the seasoning workshop, the family also has a lot of fields!There are also those novel fruits and vegetables that Jiang Wan grows. These are all Jiang Wan's property, and it is difficult for the Liang family to let her daughter handle them without authorization.

Jiang Wan received the letter from Liang Shi, thought for a while and wrote down her thoughts.

In fact, Jiang Wan's handling is very simple.

It is to merge the seasoning workshop into the clan, and use the money sold for the seasoning to build ethnology for the clan.It is specially provided for the children of the Jiang family who are too poor to afford education.

Of course, this candidate for free schooling must be carefully selected, lest people take advantage of loopholes.

As for the family's fields, they are handed over to Seven Star Pavilion to manage.Jiang Wan couldn't bear to throw away so many fruits and vegetables.

Anyway, the Seven Star Pavilion is in the back mountain of Jiangyang Village, so it's a perfect fit to hand it over to them.

Two days later, Liang received a reply letter from Jiang Wan.According to what Jiang Wanxin said, the seasoning workshop was handed over to the clan.
