Chapter 127 What Can I Do?farming?

Just like the soybean frying oil technology provided by Qin Zhe, one is a major event that is beneficial to the national economy and the people's livelihood, while the other can enrich the people's dining table. Although greenhouse planting is not as significant as soybean oil, it can improve the quality of life of the people.

And with the batch of seeds sent by Ah Shu, which are likely to be seeds of species that are not currently available in the Kingdom of David, it is no longer the meaning of enriching the people's table.What if there is something that can replace the existing grains and be used as food?That is the big thing to solve the society and the people's livelihood.What soybean oil, compared with this, the contribution is as small as scum, which is not worth mentioning.

The ancients were indeed smart, Qin Zhao never dared to underestimate the ancients, at least no one she met was stupid after returning to Chang'an City.She is a mathematics major, and it is said that her IQ is obviously higher than the average person, but she believes that if she plays tricks with Jin Yang or Grandpa Luo, she will die without a place to bury her.

But obviously, there are some things that are not just enough to be smart. She has the life experience and insights summed up by a nation, or even the wisdom of the whole world for thousands of years, especially, it is an era of information explosion. , Many things are unbelievable to the ancients, but they are the basic common sense that she lives by.

For example, soybeans can be fried in oil, for example, farming needs to accumulate fertilizer, for example, lightning and thunder are not the anger of the sky, but just the friction of clouds, for example, most of the illnesses are only caused by weakened immunity and bacterial infection, for example, the reason why couples have no children is probably not the responsibility of women but rather It is the man's reason, the decisive factor of having a girl and having a child is not the woman but the seed provided by the man.Another example is that many miraculous problems attributed to ghosts and gods are actually just a natural phenomenon that people today cannot explain. There are no ghosts and gods in this world. Of course, as an atheist, Qin Zhao has insisted on this point for dozens of generations. Now Because of her own peculiar experience, it needs to be verified.

Qin Zhao felt that, compared to her earliest experience in Zhujiazhuang when she first came to this world, her current life in Chang'an City can be regarded as eating and waiting to die. Could it be that God sent her here for the purpose of , just to let her eat and wait to die, so why does God bother with this matter?In terms of the extravagant level of her previous life, regardless of her obsession with majors, it is similar to eating and waiting to die, right?Why bother to bring her to this different time and space?
She has common sense and wisdom accumulated from thousands of years of people's life experience, as well as insight and scientific knowledge. Since life has given her this stage, is it too wasteful for her not to use it?
She has never been a person who puts the people first and has great sentiments, but this does not affect her ability to improve the living standards of the people of the Kingdom of David, right?

Yep, that's what you have to do.

She doesn't expect to be famous forever, and she doesn't want to be infamous for thousands of years. Those who can achieve these two points in history, regardless of good or bad reviews, are basically not considered good people. Human scum who has somehow exterminated humanity.Don't talk about honesty and integrity, if someone who would starve his own daughter to death just for the sake of fame and hypocrisy, if such a person can still be regarded as a human being, how can the animals be embarrassed?Of course, Comrade Lei Feng is an exception.

However, she wanted to do something for the world she lived in.

In fact, this kind of thinking is not out of the blue. These days, she lives in the village of the Luo family and often sees the hard work of the farmers of the Luo family in farming. She has a vague feeling that she should do something for these people. Well, what Ah Tie and the others sent this time only stimulated her thoughts and made her vague thoughts in her heart more realistic.

Tomatoes have been introduced to China for more than a hundred years, and Chinese people know that this thing is not only for viewing, but also can be used as an ingredient. In fact, many foods will go through such a stage when they are passed on. It ceases to exist, and what is eaten is edible. There is no need for people to treat it as a useless thing. It took hundreds of thousands of years to find that this thing can feed people.Although she is not a professional in farming, for many things, as long as there is a feasible idea, it can shorten hundreds or even thousands of years.Give a seed, and the seed will germinate, and the wisdom of the masses is infinite.

From the discovery and application of electricity to the production and application of various electronic information technologies, it has only been more than a hundred years.

From the invention of the steam engine to the near perfection of industrial technology, it took only a hundred years.

In the era she lived in, almost all foods were cultivated and dozens of improved varieties appeared. Today, the eggplants in the Kingdom of David are still called courgettes. In the era she lived in, they had already developed The fruit eggplant that can be used as fruit has been eaten.

Think about it and act.This is her usual style of acting.

"After you go back tonight, arrange everything quickly so that I can see Ah Shu and the batch of annual gifts tomorrow. Remember, at least make sure there are no logical leaks."

Qin He doesn't know what logic is, but he understands the meaning of Qin Zhao's words. After arranging the origin of this batch of gifts, it will not be possible to find out any problems, which will implicate the Yun family and the princess in Anxi. The business of the guard is coming.

"Yes, the subordinates will make arrangements when they return. Mr. Lang has already arranged the status of the princess in Youzhou, so the princess doesn't have to worry."

"Also, don't worry about anything else. You must take care of those boxes of seeds. I will use those things well." Qin Zhao was worried, and warned again.

Qin He originally thought that the princess would pay more attention to the more expensive fur brocade and other things, but he didn't expect that the princess would care more about the seeds that he didn't take seriously.Although she didn't quite understand her intentions, she respectfully agreed.

Qin Zhao sent Qin He away, and then sent Yun Xiang to the front yard to look for the steward, and brought some white spun gauze, or Lingjuan, and tung oil.She can't wait to start her own experiments.

It is not only necessary to ensure the rain-proof and sun-proof function of the white gauze soaked with tung oil, but also the heat preservation is very important.She can't produce glass, but at least she can find a suitable substitute.

Yun Xiang and the girls were puzzled by her sudden request for these two things, fine white gauze was fine, why did they suddenly want tung oil?This thing is not always available in the house.

Yun wanted to talk about his worries, and Qin Zhao thought about it too, who would put that thing in the warehouse for nothing?It's just that she has never asked for anything alone, and she might as well use her rights as the princess, so she said with a smile: "It doesn't matter if there is nothing in the treasury, just let the manager send someone to buy it, remember, Ask for the best. As for the fee, report it to me when the time comes, Yun Xiang just take the money from my box and send it to me."

She usually has no place to spend money. There is a monthly rule of 20 taels of silver in the palace. The person's share is given.She lives in Luo's house all the time, and there is another copy for her as usual. Mrs. Wei has never been stingy in these matters, and her living standard is no worse than Luo Jingchen, the real daughter-in-law of the Luo family in the Duke of Yue's mansion. .So after returning to the palace for such a long time, she has never paid for consumption by herself, and all the monthly money is collected by Zisu.After Zi Su left the mansion with her, she handed over to Yun Xiang to take care of her.All in all, after removing some necessary tipping silver, I have saved more than 20 taels of silver.

And before Qin Zhe returned to Beiting, he also took 200 taels of gold from the 50 taels of gold rewarded by the court and gave it to her, but she never used it.By the spring harvest next year, Shiyi will have a harvest.Another income.After all, she is still a little rich woman.Even without these, she is not afraid of running out of money. She still has businesses in Anxi Duhu Mansion and Zhujiazhuang, and a certain percentage of the income from those businesses is allocated to her every year.

Yun Xiang went to the outer court, found the subordinate official who allocated the warehouse of the palace, and told him what he wanted. The subordinate officer found the best fine white gauze from the warehouse, and carried out ten pieces of it, and wanted to send it to Fucui Pavilion. Go, because Yun Xiang didn't know what the county chief used for these things, he also took them. The official saw that Yun Xiang was satisfied with it, so he arranged for someone to carry the things and send them to Fucui Pavilion.Tung oil was just as Yun wanted to worry, there was indeed none in the treasury, and the subordinate officials were valued by Chen Luo and the others because they saw Qin Zhao. The subordinate officials dared not offend them, so they hurriedly sent people to the market to buy them.

As for the cost of purchasing, this amount of money must be included in the public account, and no one will say anything.Therefore, the matter of money was not mentioned by the officials.

Yun Xiang was ordered by Qin Zhao, and said with a smile, "Since the matter is settled, the servant will leave first. Thank you, Counselor Qin, for your help."

This official, surnamed Qin, was originally a relative of the offshoot of the Qin family, and had something to do in the palace.But the officials are also officials, and they enjoy the salary of the officials of the Kingdom of David. Hearing what Yun Xiang said, he smiled and said: "I dare not be the princess. The things the princess wants are just small things. This little master, A certain one deserves a home."

Yun Xiang thanked him, and told him that after the person who bought the tung oil came back, he asked him to send the tung oil to Fucui Pavilion as soon as possible.

Qin Zhao stared in a daze at the ten bolts of fine white gauze and white silk and white juan brought over by several servants. She just wanted to experiment a little bit. It was too wasteful to give away ten bolts, right?But the delivery was delivered, so it was not easy to return it, maybe it would be used again in the future, so Zisu asked Zisu to reward the servants who carried the things, and sent them to the small warehouse.

After more than an hour, another five cans of tung oil came from the warehouse.

The little steward smiled and said: "Because I don't know how much the princess needs, I bought five cans at my discretion. These are the best tung oil in the market. If there is not enough, I will buy some more."

Qin Zhaodao: "I just remembered to use these tung oils to try to make some waterproof and sun-permeable cloths. These cans are enough for a while. If they are not enough, I will send someone to the warehouse to tell me."

Then he asked how much the five cans of tung oil cost.When the little steward answered, but only spent five taels of silver, Qin Zhao called Zisu, took five taels of silver, and handed it to the steward: "These are all for my own personal use, so I don't want to spend the public's money." Money, you accept the five taels of silver, and I will trouble you in the future."

Nowadays, silver is more valuable. Although it is said that one tael of silver can be exchanged for copper coins of ten thousand wen, in reality.In the market, one tael of silver can be exchanged for twelve mins, and besides, Counselor Qin had already ordered it when he came, so the little steward would not accept it, so he quickly declined: "I don't dare to accept it, Counselor Qin specially ordered it. If the princess needs anything, just hand over the list and go to the warehouse. It is customary in the mansion that the two princesses can receive less than [-] mins of goods per month, and the owner of Yixing County can receive [-] mins of goods. There are rules. If the villain takes money from the princess, I'm afraid I have to give up the job to someone else after returning. I still need the princess to take pity on it, so it's not good for the villain to lose his job."

Qin Zhao didn't expect that in addition to the monthly 20 taels of silver, there were other things that could receive so much money. Seeing what he said was funny, he waved for someone to take the silver away, and took another look at Zisu.Zisu has been serving her for nearly half a year, and she has a tacit understanding, so she brought a purse and said with a smile: "Since the steward does not accept the money, it is a reward from the princess, but he has to accept it. I have been busy with the little buddies in the warehouse for a long time, and the money is used to buy wine and eat."

But this was something that had to be accepted, and the manager responded with a smile, took the purse, and wanted to say goodbye before leaving. Qin Zhao stopped him again: "Maybe you can help me find some people from the umbrella workshop? I Want to make some of those oilcloths for umbrella covers."

Could it be that the princess bought these tung oils just to make umbrellas?She is a majestic princess, why did she think of making an umbrella?
Although he was puzzled, he didn't dare to ask. He only responded with a smile: "I often go shopping, and I know a few workshops that make excellent umbrellas, but today is too late. I will help the princess find it tomorrow morning. "

Qin Zhao got the answer, and then let him go.

The next day, Jin Yang invited the Chief Steward of Qin Zhao County's main food town to meet him. Jin Yang himself did not show up, and Qin He accompanied Qin Zhao to meet him in the meeting hall in the front yard dedicated to receiving steward reports.

Qin Zhao is an aristocratic daughter with a noble status. David does not have any aristocratic daughter who manages the farming on the farm by herself, and Qin He is the one left to her by her elder brother. In the future, Qin Zhao will take care of this town, and the only people Qin Zhao can really use now are Qin He and four other people. It is very necessary.

Qin Zhao understood what Jin Yang meant, and felt more and more that Her Royal Highness was a person who could work with her.

Originally, it made no difference whether she had seen or not seen the chief manager of the farm, but it was at the request of Jinyang. Cheng Jinyang was really planning for her, so he met her last time, but because she thought of planting some new crops Seeing that this manager has become a necessary thing.Besides, she is the owner of the farm, so she is always a little curious about her property.

She needs to know what is being planted on the farm now, which ones have higher production capacity, how much production per mu is, how much land is planted by one household, whether it is paddy field or dry land.Whether it is flat land or mountain forest land, you must know that the difference between the fields is also great.However, she herself knew it well, based on Qin Zhe's previous achievements, the farm rewarded to her would definitely not be far behind.As for the size of the fields, she is clear, there are about twenty fields.

As for the location of the food town, it is also not far from the capital, only fifty miles away from Chang'an City.Of course, this is not the best, but there is no way. Most of the fields outside the city have been divided by the meritorious families at the beginning of the founding of the country.Even if it used to be the land of the common people, the Kingdom of David has developed to this day, with many aristocratic families and more and more nobles. The annexation of land cannot be stopped in the past dynasties, so even if there is free land, it is not her turn.

Although it was Huangzhuang that was given to her, there are pros and cons to Huangzhuang.Well, the one that is close to the capital already belongs to someone else.Qin Zhao didn't care about the distance. More than 50 miles was only half a day's journey by carriage. If he rode a horse, it would take more than half an hour.

The steward, surnamed Li, was known as Li Da because he was in the family. He saluted Qin Zhao and introduced himself.He didn't dare to bully Qin Zhao when he was young. After Zhuangzi gave it to Qin Zhao, Li Da had a detailed understanding of Zhuangzi's new owner, even though Qin Zhao was only the daughter of the second wife of the palace, and had lost her biological mother.But the Prince's Mansion is the Prince's Mansion. She has a young and powerful elder brother with an unlimited future. Maybe this brother is the heir to the future Prince's House. And the hereditary title that was removed would not be reduced like the third generation of the other family, and this one was also named a princess. With such a family background, how can it be compared to the general princess of the prince's mansion?He is actually more honorable than the Princess of the Prince's Mansion who is a member of the royal family.

Qin Zhao saw that he was respectful and did not entrust him because he was young, so he had two good feelings in his heart, so he asked about the farm, how many acres of land per capita, and what kind of fields are they? What, what is the production capacity per mu of various crops, and what is the living situation of [-] households?After deducting the normal expenses of the farm, what is the balance of the annual rent.

Li Dayuan only thought that Princess Fuling was just seeing him, but she didn't want her to be young, but she seemed to be good at farming, and she asked so clearly. Fortunately, he was also conscientious in counting, and he was very careful about the affairs of the farm. Be careful, otherwise you won't be able to be the manager of the farm. He knows everything about the farm well.Although Qin Zhao asked detailed questions, he didn't dare to express his surprise, and he answered carefully one by one when asked.

"There are twenty slopes in total, and there are two slopes of mountains. They are adjacent to the mountains of the Li Family of Duke Wei's Mansion. Although it is fifty miles away from the city, the land is good and fertile. The mountains are only planted with wood now. Some are cut down every year, and the income is good. There can always be an income of three to four hundred guan a year. And it is forest wood, which does not need many people to take care of it. There are only a few families who live in the mountains as foresters. Shiqing is also a dry land, where hemp, millet, millet, wheat, bean and other grain crops are planted. The weather has been good these years, and there is an income of [-] per year. There are also two lakes, and six families are responsible for raising some fish. After a year, people can also add two to three hundred yuan to their income. In addition, there are seven or eight slopes of paddy fields near the water, but they are just like dry land. They are planted with grains and sundries, which is a waste of money. The villain heard that now The climate here in the south allows us to grow rice for one season a year. Unfortunately, because our land was not visible in the past, and the higher-ups could not take care of it, it was delayed. The villain felt that we could give it a try. If it can be done, the harvest is better than that of hemp, millet, millet, wheat, and bean."

Qin Zhao really doesn't understand farming. Although rice is a product of the south, she knew in her previous life that rice in the Northeast is famous. If it is only about climate, it may not be impossible to grow it near Chang'an, but crops are not only affected by climate factors. Soil relations are also important.She didn't understand, so naturally she wouldn't say much, so she said, "If Manager Li wants to give it a try, it's not impossible, but don't be careless. It's not just about me, it's also about whether the people in the village can survive for a year. So I ask Guanshi Li to take care of it. According to me, there is no need to plant rice on the seven or eight acres of land at once. Choose a hundred and ten acres The fertile paddy field, try to plant it first, if it is feasible, it will not be too late to promote it in the future. I heard that the climate in our Guanzhong land, if it is to plant rice, it is most suitable to plant in May, and there is still half a year left It’s not too late to prepare now. You might as well send people to the rice-growing areas in the south to buy some high-quality seeds, and then hire or buy some farmers who are good at rice cultivation. By next year, you can start I tried to plant it. Our people should learn from Haosheng, and it will be easy to spread it in the future. There is no farm in the Guanzhong area that grows rice. If you can grow it, you have made a great contribution."

If it can be planted, it will naturally be regarded as a great achievement. Why doesn't Li Da know the significance of this matter?He has always wanted to try growing rice because it is a meritorious work.Unexpectedly, after thinking about things for several years, there was no chance in the past, but now this young princess has decided on it for him.

Li Da didn't think that the little princess was easy to fool, or just talked casually in a whimsical way, because she was really thoughtful in what she said before.It doesn't look like he doesn't know anything about farming.

　What are you asking for?ticket?Anyway, thanks to Duan Feng for the monthly ticket and the recommended ticket for Night Cat.
