Chapter 136: Imitation Learning from the Royals
Planting is never an immediate thing.
It takes three months to get to Qingjiang cabbage, and it takes four days to make mung bean sprouts.
During this time, although Fan Jingjing did not have mung bean sprouts to eat, she noticed that soybeans were already available near Chang'an, so she changed to soybean sprouts to increase the taste of eating.
At the same time, she also likes to cook all kinds of tofu dishes...... It's just that this tofu dish has not been cooked by Niu Shijin, so it seems to be a little less flavorful.
At least the fried tofu they make looks like it's still edible on the outside, but it's always weird to eat.
Although this is a dish made under the guidance of Fan Jingjing, it is completely inconsistent with Fan Jingjing's imagination.
The people take food as the sky, and for the sake of food, Fan Jingjing really misses Niu Shijin.
Most farms take half a year to harvest, and even if there is a water balloon condensation to accelerate, it will take several months, and for fruit trees, tea, and sugar cane, it will take at least a year, and many fruit trees will need several years to reach the fruiting period.
Therefore, it was planted by Fan Jingjing on the periphery, but fortunately, these fruit trees do not need special care and care.
It's just that during the picking season, more manpower is needed. The general orchard will not allow too many weeds in the ground, so weeding is generally sprayed or manually weeded, which is also a work that consumes more manpower.
However, when Fan Jingjing used the water balloon for irrigation, she also fully observed the changes brought about by the condensate of the water balloon.
Since discovering that water balloon condensate can change, the taste of crops, and the growth time, she has paid special attention to the impact of water balloon condensate on other aspects, so she noticed that where there is water balloon condensate, although weeds will also grow, but the growth of weeds will appear more moderate, and it looks more comfortable.
This means that the growth of weeds does not affect the crop.
Even in a place with dense mountains and forests, when Fan Jingjing sprinkled too many seeds that could not be planted in it, he would find that the local grass and trees seemed to change, and the seeds she planted would match.
So Fan Jingjing began to suspect that this water polo seemed to give special treatment to the seeds that crossed with her.
After observing the changes brought about by the water balloon condensate for a long time, she did find a lot of functions, but she felt that he had not discovered all the functions yet, and she had to make persistent efforts.
Being able to grow particularly delicious food is of no great use to the people of this era, and the skill of the chef can make up for the deliciousness of the ingredients.
In general, the places where delicious food can be grown are not near towns, and are often small places.
The transportation problem is really a big problem, and it is already very difficult to get fresh ingredients to nearby towns.
However, because there are so many small towns, there is always a certain dish that is particularly delicious, because the geographical features of each place are different, and some geographical features are always particularly suitable for the growth of a certain ingredient.
However, Fan Jingjing found that she was very advantageous, because the place where she was located was in Chang'an City, and it only took two hours to walk.
Chang'an City is a place where high-ranking officials and dignitaries gather, and even if the emperor does not eat outside food, there are still many people who pay attention to eating and drinking.
More importantly, these dignitaries often had to entertain guests.
When entertaining guests, what kind of ingredients to come up with is a matter of face.
Face is very important.
The dignitaries of Chang'an replied, including the people of that family, there are not tens of thousands but also 8,000, plus the Fan family manor also has to eat the food produced by itself, as well as Fan Jingjing's future development plan, the current production of the Fan family manor is far from enough.
Therefore, Fan Jingjing's circled land, in addition to a part of the development for commercial purposes, residential purposes, most of them still have to work, developed for commercial purposes and residential purposes, in fact, the most important thing is to obtain human feces, fertilizer and water have been important fertilization parties since ancient times, in addition to human feces, Fan Jingjing is also ready to collect a large number of poultry and bird feces, bird feces also contain a lot of phosphorus, phosphorus is very important for the production of matches, to attract many birds to live in Fan's manor, Fan Jingjing is still very sure. As long as some fat bugs are raised, birds will naturally congregate in this place.
It's the leaves needed to raise insects, which is not a big problem for Fan Jingjing, who has a large forest.
For being able to own such a large piece of land, Fan Jingjing is full of satisfaction with Datang.
Naturally, Fan Jingjing knows that after the land is developed, it will also face the competition for power and the oppression of various political powers, so it is very important to maintain a good relationship with Li Chengqian, the princes and princesses.
However, Fan Jingjing maintained a good relationship, not to please these princes and princesses, but to hollow out her mind and teach more seriously.
She knew that when these princes and princesses were outside, there was never a shortage of people to please them, even in front of the palace maids, not to mention that when it came to the means of pleasing people, Fan Jingjing was actually not good because of her lack of experience.
From the eyes of these princes and princesses, she could see that what she had said to them before had had taken effect.
There is only one throne, and instead of eating and waiting for death, it is better to achieve something in science and technology, and you can also be famous in the world, and even get more respect than the emperor.
And the scientific research that spends a lot of money, it is true that except for the royal children and the children of the nobles, no one else has such an experience, and there is such money.
It is better to do your own research than to spend money on others to do research, but to do your own research, you must have a solid foundation.
Fan Jingjing proposed a lot of things for the emperor's subordinates to study, but the emperor's subordinates were often confused.
But these things can be vaguely felt in the eyes of the prince and princess who studied with Fan Jingjing, which makes them feel very proud and study very seriously.
They even took the eunuchs and palace maids who served them and began to collectively look for things to study. Eunuchs and palace maids, if they are not well educated, it doesn't matter, although the prince and the princess can't take them to class, they will teach them these coursework when they come back, so that they are more familiar, because when they teach others, they have to think about it from the beginning, so their learning efficiency becomes faster, and they can also turn the people around them into their helpers.
After more than two months, Fan Jingjing found that the people around her have changed a lot, and the least changed may be Empress Changsun and Emperor Li Shimin, the two of them are like the gods of the Tang Dynasty, whether it is natural disasters or man-made disasters or various rebellions and external troubles, they are always solved one by one, busy but not chaotic, and the number of times Fan Jingjing has been summoned is also very small.
It is estimated that there is no time to talk to Fan Jingjing, after knowing the detailed situation, if the emperor has any questions, he often asks the actual operator to come to Fan Jingjing, and the final result that the emperor cares about is to ask the actual operator.
It stands to reason that Empress Eldest Sun should care about her children's problems, and if she cares about her children's problems, she should always ask the teacher what the child's condition is, but Fan Jingjing noticed that Empress Eldest Sun would ask her children what they were learning, but she would not ask Fan Jingjing.
However, when Fan Jingjing saw the palace maid accompanying the reading, she probably knew the reason, if there was any problem, in fact, the palace maid who accompanied the reading would report to the eldest grandson queen regularly, and the other parts could be asked directly to the children.
Fan Jingjing didn't know all the things he did in the Fan family manor, all of them were looked at by the eldest grandson queen, at first it was Fan Jingjing, let a large amount of grain pour into the manor, so that the queen was not very happy, the people couldn't eat, the saddest thing was the emperor Li Shimin, at first the eldest grandson queen thought that Fan Jingjing absorbed these grains would lead to the price of grain, and later he found that the influx of these grains seemed to be more than usual, and these grains were quickly obtained by the people in Chang'an City, And it seems that when they get this food, they don't spend money, but work outside. If there are fewer people to buy grain, there will not be so many people queuing up at grain stores, and there will not be many people queuing up to buy grain, so the price will not rise.
Although the price of food has risen, it has only risen tenfold, and those who cannot eat have left the city.
You must know that when there is a shortage of food, people tend to go to the city, wanting to share some food from the mouths of the rich, and there will be more beggars in the city, but during this time, the beggars in the city not only do not increase, but gradually decrease.
People who are willing to work heard the news and ran to the Fan family manor to work, and when they learned that they could join the Fan family manor and become a part of it, they even wanted to enter the Fan family manor.
However, Fan Jingjing did not agree to sell their bodies, but only asked them to pay off their debts with their jobs until they made ends meet.
Fan Jingjing's approach is equivalent to consuming a large number of refugees for Emperor Li Shimin, even the refugees who appeared outside the city did not run to Chang'an City after hearing the news, but ran to the Fan family manor.
Under the situation of increasing population, in two and a half months, in fact, Fan Jingjing has applied for land reclamation twice, which was originally not in accordance with the rules, but with the acquiescence of Empress Changsun and Emperor Li Shimin, all of Fang Jingjing's actions were given the green light.
In the emperor's opinion, it is more important to solve the immediate problem first, and as for the problem of Fan Jingjing sitting on the throne in the future, he has a lot of ways to solve it.
What's more, Fan Jingjing's approach gave the emperor inspiration, isn't this the place where people gather in the world?
The emperor has more power to attract people than Fan Jingjing.
Fan Jingjing's approach has become the object of his imitation and learning, and he believes that with the checks and balances of the superintendent, Fan Jingjing's Fan family manor will not expand rapidly.
Lest the power behind the Fan family manor be too great, the emperor really has to be ruthless to remove it.
The emperor found that Fan Jingjing's practice of substituting grain for relief was really a good method.
In fact, the people of Datang were not accustomed to relief at the beginning, if they could eat with their own hands, they would rather eat with their own hands, so that they would feel more at ease.
They may not know what dignity is, but when they see that they can eat on their own work, they will feel more hopeful for the future, and they will not have problems with law and order.
The ripple effects of the drought have been eliminated a lot.
"A little girl is more useful than the court officials......"
Li Shimin couldn't help but shake his head and sigh. Of course, when the court officials do these things, they are actually more efficient and can have a wider scope.
Fan Jingjing thought about developing the Fan family manor, but she didn't have as many ideas in her heart, as for the emperor to learn her methods and further admit more people, Fan Jingjing did not express any objections, after all, the Fan family manor ate too many people in one go, and it was not too good for the Fan family manor.
Fan Jingjing is going to set up a village next to the Fan family manor, or a small town, let this village or this town develop commerce or service industry, make this street lively, and other places in a middle of the theory, arrange workshops and produce agriculture, forestry and animal husbandry.
Then close to the prosperous town of the Fan family manor, will be responsible for the workshop as well as agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry three circles.
After all, the scope of the Fan family manor is still very large.
And this town or this village, Fan Jingjing is ready to grasp it all in his hands except for the management unit sent by the government.
She wanted the place to be a model of what else they could change. What kind of life can you have?
Han Chinese are the ones who are most likely to seize the opportunity to change their lives. Only when money continues to circulate and makes people have the desire to pursue money, will production gradually improve.
In the early days of the Tang Dynasty, the land was still not fully developed, even if the big landlord occupied more land and there was no tenant farmer to develop it, he still did not produce, and the tenant farmer easily opened up the land by himself and sorted out his own land.
However, even if you have to open up the land yourself, you have to prepare a year's worth of food for yourself, and you will encounter a lot of difficulties in opening up the land.
It would be very easy for a rich man to do this, but it would be very difficult for a defenseless farmer.
"It's time to set up a bank so that people have the opportunity to borrow low-interest loans."
In fact, such a thing as borrowing money has been practiced in the Fan family manor.
No one has repaid the loan at this stage.
Fan Jingjing's grain can almost be said to be released immediately after it was harvested, and there was not much food at hand or too much money.
But she had more and more people at hand to support, and her workshop was getting bigger and bigger, so she could exchange more food with foreign merchants.
Many of these refugees were fellow workers in the workshop, and after they found that they could not eat enough to eat the money they received, they went to the Fan Family Manor, and they were immediately introduced to the Fan Family Manor to do familiar work.
At the same time, they knew that they could receive more money than Chang'an workshop owners by working in the workshop, but they quickly exchanged the money for point cards.
Because they found that with the loyalty card, they would be able to receive cheaper living materials and food.
With the same money, they were able to barely feed before, but now they can eat enough in disaster years and meet the needs of life.
