Hearing Siqin say that the company run by Tianqi has a national chain of money villages, and the remote access business of the money village will rob the job of the dart board, Chunying said to Sanang a little: "Sanang, is your father still doing execution?" What will he do if he has no money to earn in the future? ”

Sanang said nonchalantly: "My father knows that I am pregnant with the emperor's son has long been majestic, I heard that now the head of the dart board saw him nodded and mentioned him as the deputy dart head, my mother told him not to go to the dart game anymore He is not willing, he said to people like to see others respect him every day. Now the dart game is broken, so as not to let him come and go in the rain, I have won a lot of silver in mahjong for so long, and it is enough for them to live a few more points during the New Year's holidays. ”

Tianqi smiled: "Old Concubine Zheng used to let you, you can see that although she is old, she is very shrewd." Your father's dart bureau will not run out of business, they can still guarantee the goods now, but it will not be a few years, and when the road is repaired, the post station will be running to deliver letters and goods, and at that time the wall can only protect people. ”

Siqin looked at Tianqi and said: "It seems that the emperor is not a temporary interest, he has to set up a company and do money business, and he has considered what will happen in a few years, which means that he doesn't even care about the affairs of the DPRK and China." ”

Apocalypse said, "What's the matter? It's just that there is less control, I tell them to report big things in time and small things every ten days, and it's annoying to see too many trivial things. ”

Siqin said with a smile: "The concubines always feel that something is wrong these days, and when I heard the emperor say it, I remembered that I hadn't heard the emperor talk about the affairs of the court for a long time. ”

Tianqi thought for a while and said, "As soon as you asked, I remembered something new, say it and let you hear it, and you will come up with ideas by the way." ”

After speaking, let Tan Jing go to the Yangxin Palace to bring the plan of the new farm a few days ago, and give the queen a rough talk first.

It turned out that at the beginning of June, Tianqi asked Tan Jing to go to the Bo Academy, and told Xu Guangqi that he now had 30,000 taels of silver to spend in the Bo Academy, and as long as there was a project, he would report it, and the money and people didn't need him to think about it§ Guangqi was overjoyed when he heard it, and said on the spot that he was going to choose a few Huangzhuang to try the cultivation of corn, sweet potatoes, and potatoes to see if he could improve their yield while promoting these high-yielding varieties, and the specific report would be submitted in two days.

Two days later, Xu Guangqi gave a report to Tianqi, because Tianqi was busy dealing with shares and establishing a company for a few days, so he only looked at it hurriedly and didn't reply, and now he remembered when he heard Feng Siqin ask.

After a while, Tan Jing brought Xu Guangqi's report, and Tianqi asked him to read it to everyone. It was close to noon when Tan Jing finished reading each sentence, and Tianqi instructed everyone to eat first, and after eating, they all thought about what Xu Guangqi's thoughts needed to add, because many people's hometowns here are rural, and there are also certain representatives from all over the country, which is much more real than the words obtained by going around looking for people. Everyone listened to the words of the apocalypse and thought about it, and even Concubine Zheng and Concubine Li Kang expressed interest when they heard this, and they didn't play mahjong after eating with everyone in Kunning Palace, and they all came to see Xu Guangqi's report.

Due to the severity of the drought in the Ming Dynasty in recent years, Xu Guangqi's report listed the rational use of water at the top of the list. In his report, he counted the benefits of pond water storage, and believed that every village should build a pond in the low-lying part of the village, and in case of rainy days, ensure that the pond has enough water before draining it into the ditch, corn, sweet potato, potatoes, etc., do not need too much water, and the pond water is enough when there is a shortage of water.

These drought-tolerant crops should be planted on dry land during specific cultivation, which will not compete with rice for paddy fields, and can also be replanted in time when rice is damaged, after all, people are used to eating rice and flour, and they are not used to using corn as a staple food for a while.

Finally, he also introduced several ways to eat corn, saying that when it is young and tender, it can be boiled and eaten directly, and the slightly older corn can be roasted and eaten, and the old corn can also be ground to make buns and eaten almost like wheat. Sweet potatoes can be burned, boiled, and roasted and very fragrant, the disadvantage is that it is not easy to keep and easy to rot, but it can be sliced and dried, x beans can be used as staple food and can be cooked, the yield is higher than the first two, and the prospect is very good.

After reading Xu Guangqi's report, everyone didn't squeak, Tianqi glanced at everyone and said: "If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense, who knows how to plant crops and say a few words, it won't be that our farmers are still compared to a scholar in the matter of farming." ”

Concubine Zheng smiled and said, "When did the emperor become a farmer?" ”

Tianqi smiled and said: "Many of their families are from the countryside, and according to ordinary people, they are half sons-in-law, so I am also half a farmer." ”

Sanang said: "The concubine never planted crops, but when I was a child, I saw that people in the village often fought over water, and this matter was not solved. ”

Chunying said at this time: "Yes, although our family is in the countryside, we are not so poor that we want women and children to go to farming, and we have entered the palace at a very young age, and we don't really understand much." Sanang said that the ministers and concubines also knew about the fight for water, and it was said that it was common for several villages to fight for water together, and dozens of people died. ”

Seeing Chunying say this, everyone nodded, and Tianqi only then remembered that he was wishful thinking, although the palace maids recruited into the palace did not want eunuchs, but they would definitely not want that kind of very poor family, and there are really not many eleven or twelve-year-old girls who are not poor in family backgrounds who know farm work.

Sanang said: "What is the emperor doing with that old god? This old man xu wants to plant these things, let him take people to plant them in the imperial village, it's really as good as he said, everyone will eat it, and it really proves that he is blowing another kind of other. ”

Tianqi shook his head and said: "You don't understand, cultivating good seeds is only one aspect, what I mean is to create a Mu that can be promoted throughout the country, which should consider the configuration of people, land, water, seeds, etc., so that the people who live in it feel more relaxed, and in the end, they will be richer and happier." ”

The queen said, "Why should the emperor embarrass himself? Tell Xu Guangqi what you mean, let him first send someone to the Huangzhuang to cultivate new varieties such as corn, and discuss how to establish the Mu that the emperor said can be promoted. ”

Tianqi thought for a while and said: "What the queen said is reasonable, professional things are done by professional people, and a group of us who don't understand it will be in vain for a long time." After speaking, let Tan Jing go to the Bo College to find Xu Guangqi, saying that his report had been approved and asked him to do it in time, and at the same time think about how to establish a plan that includes farmers' housing, land irrigation, grain drying and preservation, chickens, ducks, pigs and cattle captivity, etc., and let him find more knowledgeable people to brainstorm and report it.

Siqin said at this time: "Your Majesty, are you going to let ordinary people experience it first or find someone else?" ”

Tianqi thought for a while and said: "I have to build another house in Muri, the fields must be replanned, and the rivers must be limited in width and regularly dredged, which will inevitably destroy many of the original village layouts ♀, and people are nostalgic for the old, and if you want to destroy his home, even if you compensate him for a better one, he will not be happy, so I mean to let obedient people live and watch it first." Everyone has thought about it, the 20,000 people led by Zhao have just repaired the houses in the city that were destroyed by the explosion of Wang Gongchang, and they dragged about 50,000 or 60,000 people with their families, and they were originally going to let them clear the canal, but now that the court has no money, let them do things for me first, and they are idle. ”

Feng Siqin nodded and said: "That's easy to do, first find a few nearby counties where immigrants have moved more, and those who haven't left will give them some benefits to live together, and the rest of the land will be vacated just in time for General Zhao's soldiers to bring their families to live in." Because the land left behind by the immigrants became official land, there was no such thing as the need to buy and sell land with silver, so they were allowed to live in it first and then do things such as repairing houses, rivers, and flatfields according to the plan. ”

Tianqi nodded and said: "Then go hand in hand and do it together, Xu Guangqi will find someone to make a plan, and Zhao will lead people to the countryside to build according to the plan, and when the time comes, you can plant new varieties if you can plant new varieties, and you can plant other crops if you can't plant new crops." ”

Concubine Zheng Guifei shook her head and said: "The emperor may not know that the more flat land the capital goes to the south, but there are many mountains all over the country, and I am afraid that the experience on the flat land cannot withstand promotion." ”

Tianqi looked at Zheng Guifei and said: "People say that there is an old man in the family, if there is a treasure, your old man is right, I asked Xu Guangqi to consider several kinds of Mu, such as mountain Mu, flat Mu, dry land Mu, paddy field Mu, try to take into account all the land types in the country." ”

Siqin said at this time: "You should also think about how far you can go, if you really succeed, let them take root on the spot or change people to do it?" Who will be replaced? ”

Tianqi thought for a while and said, "Yes, it's definitely not appropriate to let others go if you do a good job, and others may not be willing to come after leaving, everyone likes a new home, which is a problem." ”

At this time, the queen said: "The concubines have an idea, isn't the emperor going to let them dredge the canal?" It is better to lay out their villages by the canal [all the terrain is taken into account, and make it clear that this is their future home, and they should have no opinion on building their homes, so that they can be on call to build canals and canals in the future. As for how to promote, as long as it is done well, let other people come to visit, and after the visit, you can repair it yourself if you are satisfied, and spend money to invite them to repair it, and the emperor can earn a few from it. ”

Siqin said: "What the queen said makes sense, didn't the emperor set up a company?" At that time, the people taught by Zhao Shujiao can also be regarded as people from the company. Others are selling goods and land, but the emperor is selling the village in a big way, of course, he doesn't just sell it directly to help repair it. ”

Tianqi shook his head and said: "It's not good, everyone has a share in this company, and the silver invested in Xu Guangqi is the silver from my emperor's store, so I will suffer too much." ”

Concubine Zheng said: "The emperor is a little stingy if he is too fine. ”

Siqin said: "You can ask others to add money to join if they are willing, and if they don't want to join, the concubine means to run the farm with the company." ”
