Villager of Daming

Chapter 1120: Changing licenses to buy and sell

"Your Highness, can you sell it as seeds?" When most of the wheat was harvested and dried, Guan Tongzhi looked at Zhu Di expectantly after confirming that the spring wheat yield had increased by 10%.

Zhu Di's fiefdom is here, it's very close. If he wants to change it, Zhu Di will change it and send it to another place for planting.

"This..." Zhu Di understood what Dufang meant. A 10% increase in production and an additional 10% would be equivalent to harvesting 20% ​​more wheat, or one-fifth.

"Your Highness, please change. This kind of seed is good. We will plant spring wheat for a long time in the future and leave special seeds for spring wheat."

The head of the village supported the exchange by giving the other party 10% more. The seeds of spring wheat were from winter wheat, so they used the soybean method, otherwise they would not grow.

The soybean wheat method, also called the vernalization method, puts winter wheat seeds into jars and stores them at low temperature for dozens of days, and then takes them out to plant, and they will bloom and bear fruit.

When the people of Zhuozhou knew that there was going to be a drought, they took action one after another and processed the seeds in advance, so that they could have a good harvest at this moment.

Zhu Di thought about it and agreed: "It can be changed as long as the production is increased. The premise is that it must be compared with those growing spring wheat in other places. If it is higher than them, it can be changed more. Otherwise, it will be useless. Just look around."

Zhu Di understood what Li Chang meant. It was estimated that the people worked hard to cultivate the land and increase food production. When the people saw more benefits, they would naturally learn from it. Instead of relying on the weather to eat, they should top-dress fertilizer when it is time.

Spending ten thousand dollars can save a labor force. For every additional year this labor force lives, Ming Dynasty will earn one more year of benefits.

The mayor wanted to wait for two more days, and the people would finish processing all the wheat in the fields.

In the beginning, the railway was slowly built by Lao Maozi and the Japanese pirates in order to compete for China's resources. After repairing it, conflicts intensified when they came together, and wars began there.

After arriving at Dingliao Duwei, we will check whether the local security situation is good, and then build a smelting plant and build a railway from there to Beiping Prefecture.

Lao Maozi and the Japanese pirates dug trenches in Chinese territory and fought with each other.

When paying attention to babies, more assistance should be given to the adult workforce.

"There are two more days of Dazhu and Erfu. It's a pity that new wheat cannot be ground immediately, otherwise it would be good to eat noodles once."

"Today is the fourth day of June. It's almost time for us to leave, right?"

But it doesn't work now. There is a lack of manpower. Human resources in the Ming Dynasty are precious. The economic results gained from building that railway are far less than what the people can do other things.

We don’t want to go by land. Hanhan said that the road is rugged and we’ll talk about it later. Now I’m afraid that walking there will waste time.

The officials in Zhuozhou smiled and finally got benefits for the people. In other places, there are few spring wheat plantings. They usually grow winter wheat. After harvesting, they plant soybeans and sorghum despite the drought. Watering is also very tiring!
Look at the current situation, earning 10% more, no, it seems to be earning 10% more. First, the output is increased by 10%, and when changing seeds, the 10% of the output must also be included.

At that time, many Chinese people died during the construction of various sections of the Beijing-Harbin Railway. They were working because protection measures were not in place and nutrition was insufficient.

The Ming Dynasty wanted to build the same railway, but was reluctant to let the people get into accidents and starve to death. It took many years to support a labor force and survive repeated natural disasters and injuries before it was formed.

It happened that some people went to the front station, where the things that should be transported were transported. They did it twice in the past few days, and they came again and waited for others to take the boat there.

Zhu Di wanted to continue going to a few places, but knew that this was not possible. The Beiping Mansion could arrange things at any time when there was an opportunity in the future. If the Dingliao guards did not arrive early, it would delay the important events of the court.

The more advanced the technology, the greater the surplus value of labor force. The growth of population will not affect the food supply of Ming Dynasty, and they can go outside to occupy land.

The Jurchen population in the northeastern region is very small, and the grasslands to the north are even more inhabited.

There is also the southwest, west, and northwest. Once they are assimilated, the place will belong to the Ming Dynasty. …

Two days later, everyone felt that the air they breathed was filled with fire, whether it was due to the heat or psychological effects.

Today we finally ate noodles, but the common people’s seeds were not dried well. We told them in advance and gave them a replacement, and the noodles they ate were part of the replacement.

Everyone has eaten from the water, and the team is responsible for making egg sauce. In fact, there are both duck eggs and goose eggs. The eggs purchased also consume a lot of sauce, so the people are treated to a meal of sauce.

I can't afford noodles. There are too many people in Zhuozhou, and the key is the lack of other resources. There are eggs but little sauce. Buying local sauce is not enough, especially the miso made by the people themselves, which is made from beans. If it is not made well, it will smell.

"Should we eat noodles in the evening?" During lunch, the fifth child, Zhu Zhu, ate some cold vegetables and looked at the water across the water in the evening with a look of resistance on his face.

"You can just add some well water to the bowl and eat it. Who told you to eat dry fried noodles?"

Ling'er knew why the other party didn't want to eat it. It was a hot day, so normally no water was added to the noodles with soybean paste. After the noodles were cooked, they were soaked in cold water twice before adding egg sauce and cucumber shreds.

Then he stirred it with chopsticks and put it into his mouth. There were no side dishes. Who would make soy noodles if there were side dishes? Can’t you just eat vegetables?

Ling'er herself found it too dry, so she added well water, took a bite of noodles, and took a bite of egg sauce. They didn't mix them together at all. That's what the mixed vegetables were prepared for.

"I know how to add water. I just want to change my rice. The local rice is delicious."

As Zhu Tong spoke, he poured water from the outer kiln well from the bucket next to him into his own bowl.

"I'll steam rice and stir-fry two vegetables for you." Ling'er seemed to be coaxing her younger brother.

"It needs to be cooked, then fried rice, and fried with rice crackers. I actually want to eat rice crackers."

Zhu Rui told the truth. He actually saw some local children eating crispy rice and was greedy, but he was too embarrassed to ask for it.

Another reason is that he dislikes the other person being dirty. His little hands are stained with saliva and he grabs the rice cake. How can he eat it himself?
"Make rice cakes tonight, drink some wine, and set off before noon tomorrow."

Ling'er clicked her mouth, feeling that the rice cake was indeed quite fragrant.

There is also a street in Xiaqiu Village that sells crispy rice, which is just to fool people. Normally, rice is cooked in a large earthen stove. After cooking, the crispy rice is on the bottom layer.

Obviously this method is not suitable for mass production, so I first cook a pot of rice in a large pot, then press the rice grains and spread them around the bottom of the pot, turn on the fire, take it out, spread it again, and start it again...

The crispy rice made in this way is actually very normal and has very little difference. There is also a kind of crispy rice that is directly baked with batter, which is the crispy rice that Zhu Wentian sold at that time.

Only those who have eaten serious rice crackers know that this kind of rice crackers is a kind of deception. It has no texture, no taste, but only the taste of spices.

The key point is that it's fried, very expensive, and you'll get tired of it after just a few bites.

"Instead of letting the locals make rice crackers after planting rice, the rice crackers can be stored for a long time after being dried, like the way in Xiaqiu Village."

Zhu Fang heard that his fifth brother insisted on eating crispy rice. Considering the local specialty rice, he thought that if it is processed again, the added value will be higher and the profit will naturally be greater.

When people are not busy making rice dumplings, the prerequisite must meet the hygiene requirements. This...
