Chapter 157 Countermeasures
Kangxi grabbed Shuyun's hand to his chest, but Shuyun had no choice but to circle his neck from behind.
Kangxi silently played with Shuyun's fingers, and after a while, he said slowly: "Alas, the people don't want to plant trees now, they just want to plant grass, I can't watch the Loess Plateau and the entire Yellow River Basin become grasslands, right?" ”.
"Why don't you want to plant trees? It is important to know that whether it is a sour jujube tree or a large bubble walnut tree, it is an excellent variety, and once it bears fruit, the income will be considerable. Pistachio and baobab (bottle tree) are also two excellent crops, which have now been successfully cultivated in Zhuangzi and can be widely planted in the spring of the next year. These are all good things for the benefit of the country and the people! How could the people not cooperate? In fact, the reason is not difficult to guess - as the saying goes, "The hustle and bustle of the world is all for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the sky is for profit." And "not poverty, but inequality." "What can make people contradict each other is nothing more than two points: benefits and distribution. But Shuyun didn't want to show that ability, as if she could say anything, so she pretended to be puzzled and asked.
"Isn't planting trees slow to produce results? How can you catch up with planting grass and raising cattle and sheep quickly? This is also to blame for the great variety you provide, and now even the Mongolian side has heard the letter, and a few old Mongolian princes have also jointly sent me a discount to inquire about it. Kangxi looked extremely depressed.
Is it a sin to contribute good things emotionally? Shuyun was so angry that she pulled her hand back, but Lao Kang grabbed it too tightly, as if he had guessed Shuyun's possible reaction in advance, and had already prepared in advance.
"Oh, let go. I was almost tired when I stood so bent over. Shuyun, who didn't achieve her goal, said unwillingly.
"How can you get tired leaning on my back? It's really a blessing in the midst of blessings, and I don't know how to be blessed Forget it, you better sit down. Save yourself from having to mess with me later. Kangxi said and pulled Shuyun in front of him and hugged him. Placed on his lap.
Shuyun twisted a few times, trying to get off Kangxi's lap. But it was struck, and in exchange for a few heavy gasps and unkind eyes from Kangxi. Shuyun reacted immediately, and pulled the corners of her mouth at Kangxi in embarrassment, and she didn't dare to move casually anymore. Then he changed the topic and said, "That, didn't Zhuangzi also provide some seedlings of colorful peppers?" Before the tree bears fruit, the people can be more abundant. ”
"The pepper is good, according to local officials, almost every household grows a little, but most of them keep it for themselves. Very few of them are taken out. ”
This result made Shuyun a little stunned. "Why don't you plant a small area and then sell it to the outside world?" Shuyun asked suspiciously.
"Almost every family grows something, who can you sell it to?" Kangxi looked at Shuyun with disdain and said.
Shuyun closed her eyes, really a little speechless. It seems that there are really big differences in consciousness between people of different eras. After a long time, Shuyun said weakly: "Then won't the local officials organize the people to sell to other provinces?" ”
"A broken chili pepper is still sold to other provinces, isn't it enough to cost money?" In this regard, Kangxi was very unimpressed.
Shuyun can finally be sure of one thing - Kangxi must not be a good businessman. In addition, Qianlong's loser has finally found the root cause.
Shuyun looked at Kangxi and said solemnly, "This broken pepper is definitely a cornucopia." Know the way. This pepper is different from ordinary vegetables in that it not only has a high yield, but also has a good taste and can also be used as a seasoning. In addition, it is made into dried chilies. Pepper flakes and pickles, very easy to store, working well. It's not hard to get a good price. With the support of the imperial court, it can be developed into a pillar industry in the local area. ”
Kangxi fiddled with Shuyun's fingers. After pondering silently for a while, he nodded affirmatively: "That's what you said." I think it's completely feasible and I can give it a try for the next interview. ”
"Don't be reluctant, what the imperial court has to do is to tell the people the detailed plan, and then do a good job in organizing, guiding, and selling. The rest is up to everyone to choose, as long as some people are willing to try, this kind of thing can only be done voluntarily, there is no shortage of people with vision on the huge Loess Plateau. ”
"Well, that's it." Kangxi made the final decision. After a pause, he replied: "But this can't solve all the problems, right?" ”
"Then it would be nice to find a project that can be effective in the short term for the people who plant trees."
"It's easy for you to say, but not to drink cold water? Is it so easy to find projects that will work in the short term? ”
Shuyun was silent, leaning into Kangxi's arms and thinking quietly. Because the earth dragon was burned, the room was as warm as spring, and only a single coat was needed. In Kangxi's words, "You live here much more comfortably than in the palace, warm in winter and cool in summer." Especially in winter, you don't need to burn a charcoal pot in the house, which is convenient and safe. In the future, I will come to escape the heat in the summer, and come to the cat winter in the winter. "~ Okay, in his words, he has to spend half a year in Zhuangzi, if he lets the women in the palace know the Tao, he must not curse himself to death? But it's no wonder that Lao Kang is reluctant to go, the facilities on this Zhuangzi are really convenient. Now after the renovation of the sewer facilities in the capital has been completed, some powerful families have also imitated Xiangxuehai and installed toilets, bathtubs, and earth dragons. Earthworm? Earthworm? yes, how did you forget it. ~ Thinking of this, Shuyun's eyes lit up, and she finally had a way.
So he sat up straight, turned his head to Kangxi, and said: "I thought of a way, that is, let the people on the Loess Plateau raise chickens, which can be specially raised or stocked under the forest, so that it can also reduce the pests and diseases of trees, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone." The people of the Yellow River basin can also take advantage of the change of water sources to raise ducks and geese. The meat and eggs of chickens, ducks, and geese can be processed into non-staple foods that are easy to preserve, and the fluff of ducks is an excellent insulation material, which is filled into clothing and bedding, which is lighter and much warmer than cotton. ”
Kangxi nodded and said, "This method is not bad, but where did the imperial court get so many chickens, ducks and geese to provide to the people?" ”
"Don't worry, I haven't finished yet. These chickens, ducks and geese, we can artificially hatch them. ”
"Incubate with people? What do you think? Do you say you will incubate it, or can I incubate it? Kangxi looked at Shuyun's eyes, which was called unfriendly.
Shuyun Kaba snapped her eyes twice, a little unsure of what to say. ~This is the legendary generation gap, right? ~
After organizing the language, he said after a long time: "What, what I mean by artificial incubation refers to putting the eggs on the fire kang or the earth dragon, as long as the temperature is right, it is completely possible to hatch, and we have a thermometer, so it is more convenient to adjust the temperature." As for the specific methods and various data, we will not be able to start planting trees and grass until the beginning of spring next year, and we will have a winter to test them. ”
This time Kangxi was embarrassed, glared at Shuyun for a long time, and then said, "Hmph, I don't want to explain it clearly, I deliberately want to see me make a fool, right?" But the method you mentioned, I don't think it's so mysterious. ”
Shuyun really wanted to say, "Just like you, it's enough to pull out Lu and shoot him for five minutes." "But after all, I still don't have the courage. could only take advantage of Kangxi's unpreparedness and quickly jump off his lap. He said, "I think of something fresh, so I'll do it." In addition, if it doesn't work, I'll know if I try it, and I'll arrange someone to do it as soon as possible. Then he walked away without looking back.
Shuyun didn't lie, when she just said that she used eggs to process non-staple foods, she did think of something that was definitely fresh in the Qing Dynasty - real eggs. The method is actually very simple: 1. Knock a small hole in the top of the egg and pour out the egg mixture. 2. Add a little alkali and stir well. 3. Pour it back again and steam it in a pot. Next, you can remove the eggshell and cut it in half, either fry or bake it, and serve it with sauce.
Shuyun quickly made a big plate and sent someone to send some to Old Man Xu and Fuquan. I also gave a little to Ruxue, Qian Liu and other people under him to try it. The rest was all brought to the room.
The two little buns had already sniffed and asked for it. The little eyes are salivating! However, this thing is delicious, but it is not good for children to eat too much. Shuyun strictly limited the amount of buns. made the buns' eyes immediately turn from salivating to complaining.
To say that these two little things are really greedy, that little mouth, there are few idle times all day long, no matter what it is, as long as it is in their hands, they can eat sweetly, and they are not picky eaters at all. Instead, I ate too much. What makes Shuyun want to cry without tears is that the little general's belly is obviously sticking out. The chin did not dare to say that it was double, but folded into three layers. Every time it was time to take a bath, Shuyun looked at the white and white fat, trembling and long, except for the small body that was flesh, and there was really an urge to order the two of them to go on a diet.
What makes Shuyun feel most obstructive is that the small backpacks that the buns never leave are like the belly of a small jingle bell, and they can always keep pulling things out, as they go. It's just that most of the people who take it out are just eating. Shuyun didn't know where they got it from. I really regret why I made this backpack for the two of them in the first place? Isn't that iniquity?
And the little buns eat very fast, just like now, half a real egg, two bites down, the small mouth only bulged a few times. I've told them countless times, "Chew slowly." I listened to it and did it, but I forgot about it in less than two minutes.
Seeing that the buns and Shuyun were eating well, Kangxi, who was originally disdainful, couldn't help it, and said that he wanted to taste it, but he ate seven or eight pieces in one go. makes the buns especially angry with their own Amma's behavior. secretly looked at Lao Kang with contempt several times. Fortunately, he was not discovered by Lao Kang, otherwise he would not have been able to run a fat beating.
In the afternoon, I slept with five well-fed buns. Shuyun went to the reception room and asked Ruxue to find Qian Liu. I explained to her in detail about the hatching of the poultry, and asked her to choose a few young and clever women on the Zhuangzi, preferably one who could recognize a few words, and be responsible for this matter. And specifically instructed it to keep all relevant processes and results strictly confidential.
