"Brown sugar is beneficial to the spleen and liver, nourishing and invigorating blood." Li Zheng continued: "In fact, children with anemia in childhood, as well as women who have just given birth, are very beneficial, brown sugar is easy to preserve, unlike sucrose that is easy to spoil. ”

Li Zheng said that Feng Ang didn't understand the brown sugar very well, but Li Zheng's means of doing business should not be underestimated.

As long as this kid thinks that he can make money, he has never suffered a loss.

Back in the village, another contract was signed between Li Zheng and Feng An.

Feng Ang left Jingyang with the 10,000 guan that Li Zheng paid him.

There is a lot of old grain in Lingnan, and it has reached the point of piling up.

There is too much food, and people are not very interested in growing food.

But now if someone is willing to take the old grain that has been piled up for several years and no one wants it.

It can not only give people in Lingnan more income, but also increase their interest in growing food.

Unlike Guanzhong, there are many mountains and forests in Lingnan, and it is a headache to transport grain out.

Although he earned a lot of money on this trip, Feng Ang knew very well in his heart that it was not easy to earn Li Zheng's money.

Seeing the newly built road outside Jingyang Village, this road is spacious, flat and clean, if there is such a road from Lingnan to Chang'an.

Feng Ang let out a long sigh, Li Zheng is a child who does not suffer losses, and people like him should not think of doing things for nothing.

A large amount of old grain was transported into Jingyang, and there was a lot of bran and beans, which were best used for feed.

Li Yifu took the account book and counted it and said: "County Marquis, there are a total of 30,000 stone of bran, 60,000 stone of beans, and 50,000 stone of old grain, which should be enough for our farm until next year." ”

Li Zheng shook his head and said, "At most, before winter, but the next batch should be delivered." ”

Today's farms need to be expanded again, and Li Shimin gave 10,000 acres to be used.

The villagers looked at the cart after cart as if they couldn't run out of food.

Everyone was very happy to have food, but they were a little disappointed when they saw that it was all old grain, and some of them were about to become moldy.

The aunts in the village whispered to Li Daxiong: "Daxiong, did your son be deceived and how did he buy this grain?" ”

Li Daxiong also scratched the back of his head, "Could it be that this kid was really deceived?" ”

The big cow who helped carry the grain was dressed in a coarse cloth and said, "Auntie and uncle, the teacher uses these old grains to make feed for chickens, ducks and pigs. ”

With that, the aunts in the village were relieved a lot.

The increasing number of chicks on the farm is also a burden for the village.

The more poultry you have, the more food you consume.

But now that there is so much old grain, the pressure on the villagers' heads is much less.

Li Zheng circled a 500-acre piece of land on the map and said, "Li Yifu, transform this land into a breeding farm." ”

"Whoa!" Li Yifu nodded and wrote Li Zheng's request in his book, sometimes Li Zheng ordered a little too many things, and he was used to writing it down first.

Li Zheng then instructed: "Put all the chickens, ducks and geese into the newly built breeding farm and pig farm to be raised separately. ”

Li Yifu still recorded it in the booklet.

Li Zheng said: "The original pigsty has been rebuilt, and all our original farms have been expanded to build a special place for raising pigs. ”

Li Yifu recorded it diligently.

Li Zheng once again carved out a piece of land and said: "The five thousand acres of land here are used for wasteland, according to the current season, do you really think it will be too late?" ”

Li Yifu understood what Li Zheng meant, "If the land is cleared quickly, if the grain is planted in time, it should be possible to harvest some more grain before the winter, but now it is summer, and it should be in time." ”

Li Zheng nodded slightly, "So this time the progress of the wasteland will be accelerated." ”

After listening to Li Zheng's words, Li Yifu said: "How to use the rest of the land?" ”

"The remaining 4,000 acres of land will be kept for the first time, and I will use it for other purposes in the future."

"Understood." Li Yifu nodded, "Let's go and arrange the reclamation." ”

After telling Li Yifu about things, Li Zheng came to the blacksmith shop and asked the three brothers of the Tie family to build a Quyuan plow.

The tricycle looks simple to build, and it is not so easy to cast it all in iron according to the previous specifications.

Today's tricycle skeleton is halfway completed, and the iron rims on the wheels are very difficult to build.

Bearings and brackets are problemsIn this era without electric welding, these are the problems.

Li Zheng said to Tie Da: "If you don't understand anything, you can go to the academy and ask Yan Liben, I remember that the children should have learned something called a compass, which is very helpful for you to portray the size." ”

"Understood."

There are a lot of people in the blacksmith shop, and most of them are people sent by Li Shimin to learn the new method of forging iron.

An experienced blacksmith can see the mystery at a glance.

The secret of iron melting lies in the firepower, as long as the firepower is large enough, it is not difficult to melt iron.

Moreover, this method of wrought iron is not very difficult, and the reason why the blade can be made without veins is that the temperature at which pig iron melts and wrought iron melt is not the same.

It seems that Li Shimin's blacksmiths are all carefully selected old blacksmiths from Jingyang.

Li Zheng asked Li Tai to take fifty quyuan plows from the army to Jingyang.

When dealing with the snow disaster last year, Li Tai used a zigzag plow to remove the snow.

Even if he has made a Quyuan plow, Li Shimin has not done well in popularity, because of the lack of iron, and Datang is too short of iron.

Three days later, the strong force in the village came to the new land of Jingyang.

More than 2,000 people from the village gather here, and after the distribution of farm tools, they are ready to work.

The old village chief is still the leader of the village, even if the old village pushes back several times, Li Zheng still asks the old village chief to speak.

In a sense, the old village chief is the leader of the village.

Everyone is willing to listen to the old village chief.

For Li Zheng, he didn't want to break the original exquisiteness of the village.

Li Yifu dug up a piece of soil and said, "County marquis, I'm afraid it's not good for these lands to grow food. ”

Li Zheng also looked at the ground, "These soils are too dry. ”

Li Yifu nodded, "It's really true that the court is in the middle of the country, why is the land given so bad, go down to the household department to reason." ”

"No need, what's the use of what you said."

Li Zheng looked at the distance from here to the Jingyang River, and said to Li Yifu: "Open a ditch and start to lead from the Jingyang River to here." ”

Li Yifu looked at the terrain and said: "The terrain here is too high, and the river water is not easy to introduce. ”

Li Zheng said helplessly: "Li Yifu is in my impression that you should be a very smart person, right." ”

Li Yifu bowed his head and said: "I am stupid, and I ask the county marquis to dial it." ”

Li Zheng said to him: "Do you know what I put in the village waterwheel for? ”
