The farmer was busy responding, and Zheng Kezhang smiled understandingly at the farmer's reaction, and the eldest brother naturally didn't call it anymore - of course, the other party couldn't afford to call it - but asked carefully in a relatively calm manner: "Look at your appearance, I'm afraid you are also from the army, what kind of identity." (Like this book, please bookmark biquge.info)"

"If you go back to the world, you have followed the king to fight against the prince Zheng Zheng, who claimed to be the king." The farmer reported with a hint of pride. "Later, the king gave him twenty acres of land, so he went home and farmed." In this way, Zheng Kezhang understood, this person should have been at most the foreman's class back then, and he was the head of the card in the moving town military tun, otherwise he should at least have an official body. "Now I'm a local leader."

Seeing that his guess was good, Zheng Kezhang couldn't help but feel a little smug, so he asked further: "Let me ask you, are all veterans like you on the local brand armor now?" How are they doing? Are any of the children going to school? ”

The farmer replied cautiously, not daring to cross the Lei Chi at all: "If you return to the world, there are twenty-five households in Benjia, all of whom are veterans in the army, but the officials came in to say what the real platform was, so eight households were selected from it and moved to Xintunli as the card chief and the head of the first place, so at present, the remaining seventeen households are still there, and the kindness of the king, each family is doing well. ”

Zheng Kezhang raised his eyebrows, of course he heard the mystery, there was a study, not all of them, but this matter is not something he can solve now, so he is not ready to ask the bottom of it, so he asked instead: "There are eight households to Xintun, so who is the land vacant by these people now?" ”

Because Zheng Kezhang asked about insensitive things, despite his apprehension, the card chief still replied 1510: "The official took back the land to plant sugarcane, and also requisitioned labor, but as long as the sugarcane is planted, there is no need to ask more on weekdays, but it is time to harvest and then the local brand A labor will help harvest it." ”

"Yes." Zheng Kezhang answered knowingly asked, and then the topic returned to farming: "In addition to planting grain, what else do you plant, do you plant mulberry trees or not?" Castor beans are not planted? What do you grow on weekdays? ”

The farmer was stunned by Zheng Kezang's series of questions, and only after a long time did he murmur an answer: "In my family, we don't plant mulberry trees in the whole of Jia, but I heard that there are mulberry trees, but I only sell mulberry leaves and don't raise silkworms myself." ”

Silk is an extremely valuable foreign trade product in this era, although it is not the same price as gold as before, but it is better than the steady demand and continuous energy production, so when Zheng Kezhang heard that the people of Dongning did not grow mulberry and did not raise silkworms, his face suddenly changed, and his eyes swept towards Liu Chongxi like a sword.

Liu Chongxi hurriedly came over and explained: "Shisun, raising silkworms is an extremely hard and time-consuming thing, just feeding silkworms more than a dozen times a day, and now tens of thousands of Ding Zhuang have been transferred to the west. ”

Zheng Kezhang did not fully accept Liu Chongxi's explanation: "It makes sense to say this, but why don't mulberry trees be planted anymore?" ”

"Shisun, grain." Liu Chongxi made a helpless look. "The key is still in the grain, in order to ensure the supply and loss of the army, General Chen ordered to change mulberry to grain, of course, now there is the supply of Qiongzhou, which has made the people of Dongning breathe a sigh of relief, but the people are stupid, the government does not encourage it, and they rarely restore mulberry and hemp."

"In this way, it is not the case that President Chen is making." Zheng Kezhang was very dissatisfied with Liu Chongxi's use of Chen Yonghua to pressure himself, and what makes the people stupid, it is obvious that the following continue to use administrative orders to suppress the people's way to make a fortune in order to invite merit, Liu Chongxi's words are to deceive the superiors and subordinates. "Well, after I go back this time, Yu Zi will discuss with my father-in-law how to correct the shortcomings of the past." The gong does not need a heavy hammer, as soon as Zheng Kezang's words came out, Liu Chongxi's face quickly turned red as if it had been pulled by an invisible hand, yes, he is Weng's son-in-law, what kind of tongue did he chew in the meantime, but before he could regret it and make amends, he listened to Zheng Kezhang ask. "Don't you plant castor beans?"

"Plant, castor beans are planted." The whole plant of castor can be used as medicine, its stem bark is rich in fiber can be used to make paper, cake flour and oil meal can be used as fertilizer and feed, and the castor oil can be used as a laxative is the best lubricating oil for Dongning hydraulic machinery today. "There are two of them at our door, planted with potatoes."

Potato? Zheng Kezhang was still wondering why the potatoes were not planted in the field but planted on the edge of the house, and Liu Chongxi, who was on the side, thought it was an opportunity, and hurriedly came over to explain: "Shisun, the so-called potatoes in Dongning are actually peanuts, which are mostly used by the people to extract oil, of course, they can also be cooked as vegetables, and they are also used as dried fruits in the wine shops of Chengtianfu." ”

Nani? Are potatoes peanuts? Zheng Kezhang was really a little dizzy, he could accept the sweet potato just turned into a sweet potato - after all, everyone has a potato word, but the name is slightly different - but what is the relationship between potatoes and peanuts, how can he be embarrassed by pulling them together.

However, Zheng Kezhang did not express his depression, but continued to ask with a pleasant face: "Since there are sweet potatoes and potatoes, the tomatoes that are also transmitted from Luzon Yi can be planted in Dongning?" ”

"Tomato?" This time it was Liu Chongxi's turn to be puzzled, and he thought for a while to confirm with Zheng Kezang. "What can the grandson say about persimmon?"

"Persimmon? It should be, Yu remembers that there is another name called tomato, which should be persimmon. ”

"Persimmon is called citrus honey in Dongning." Liu Chongxi smiled and asked the farmer a few words, and sure enough, the farmer replied yes, but the amount still planted was not much, and Liu Chongxi had his own explanation. "The grandchildren don't know that when this persimmon was introduced to the Ming Dynasty, it was originally used as an ornamental flower, but in recent years it has become a fruit and vegetable."

Liu Chongxi thinks he is knowledgeable, but Zheng Kezhang seems to be smiling, in fact, he knows what Liu Chongxi said, and he also knows what Liu Chongxi doesn't know. What is Tomato? Isn't it the prototype of the Zhu Guo that claims to be able to grow his strength for decades after eating the Zhu Guo in the main novel of the Pearl Building? Of course, Zheng Kezhang is not an Encyclopedia Britannica, and he also has things he doesn't know, such as when the forbidden fruit, which Europeans mistakenly thought that Eve ate, became food in China, but now it is clear that there is an answer.

When Liu Chongxi finished speaking, Zheng Kezhang asked another question: "Is there a seed for potatoes introduced in Luzon?" ”

"What is a potato?"

Liu Chongxi really didn't know what a potato was, and Zheng Kezhang couldn't explain it, so he had to depict the shape of the potato. ”

Liu Chongxi suddenly said: "That's right, it's a taro boy." ”

So Zheng Kezhang asked: "Is there a kind of Dongning?" ”

"Yes, but not many people want to grow it."

Zheng Kezhang was stunned when he heard it, didn't he say that the potato breeding period was short, the yield was high, and he even saved Ireland in the Great Famine? Why is it that no one wants to plant this kind of high-yield crop after it arrives in Taiwan?

So Zheng Kezhang inquired about the long march of the card surnamed Ning, and listened to the other party say: "Although the taro boy does not need to be taken care of after the middle and bottom, it is said that it likes cold and does not like heat, and it grows slowly when it is hot, and it needs a lot of fertilizer and water to grow well. ”

Zheng Kezang suddenly realized, he remembered, now the Xiaoice period has passed, the average temperature in Dongning at 244 degrees, has exceeded the most suitable potato growth of 16 ~ 22 °C, and the night temperature is far more than the tuber formation of 10 ~ 13 °C (soil temperature 16 ~ 18 °C), so the slow growth is far less than the colder areas in the north.

"It's not delicious in the mouth, but at least it can't eat the dead, and if it is not planted well, it will always be shorter than rice and wheat, and the harvest will be bigger." Of course, Zheng Kezhang knew that Taiwan would face a major drought for three consecutive years in the future, and his high yield was enough to feed most of the people compared to rice and wheat, which needed the same amount of water, but he could not make such a prediction publicly, so he could only imply it vaguely. "The taro boy is a treasure, and you have to rely on it to save your life at a critical time."

Liu Chongxi was a little disapproving, and the farmer didn't know what he was thinking, at this time Zheng Kezhang preached: "In fact, the taro can be cooked, such as vinegar and fried, and it can also be starch made like sweet potatoes, and sweet potato flour and potato flour can also be used as pasta, which is no worse than wheat flour." ”

Zheng Kezhang was talking endlessly, and the guards guarding the side came over and interrupted Zheng Kezang's preaching: "Shisun, I see that it is not early, and if I don't leave, I am afraid that I will miss the night." ”

"Alright, this is the departure." Zheng Kezhang replied fluently, took two steps, and then returned to the farmer, stretched out his hand to the guard on the side and asked for something to stuff into the farmer's hand. "If you delay your efforts for a long time, this silver medal will be awarded to you, which can be regarded as making up for it."

The farmer took it and looked at it over and over again, although he didn't know what it was, but he knew it was a good thing when he looked at the silver light, but before he knelt on the ground to thank him, Liu Chongxi, who was passing by, paused beside him: "This is a good thing, it was originally used by the grandson to show the righteous people, but it is cheap for you, and put it away, it's good to be an heirloom."
