Chapter 54 The number of people is easy to do
After eating, Fan Jingjing started work.
Niu Feiling prepares stewed dishes, to be honest, Fan Jingjing prefers stir-fried vegetables, or barbecue, and if she doesn't eat it once a day, she will feel like she hasn't eaten.
But Fan Jingjing endured it, there is no vegetable oil, and the cost of getting lard, mutton fat, and chicken fat in this era is too high.
If you don't have money, you have to be patient.
Fan Jingjing wants to make money, and only by making money can she live the life she remembers.
Every time it's time to eat, Fan Jingjing has the deepest feelings.
In the past, Fan Jingjing never felt how important money was, she could spend it whenever she wanted, and for her, banknotes were no different from paper.
Now she has no more money in her pocket, replaced with copper plates, and there are not a few.
Li Shimin was also a heroic general himself, and he even personally led the army to defend against the Xiongnu.
Li Shimin's son naturally can't appear too weak, so the crown prince Li Chengqian often exercises with the general's son.
Because Niu Yingxiu has a good relationship with Li Liqian, Li Chengqian often escorts Li Liqin to Niu's house.
came and went, although the two were not in the same line, Li Chengqian and Niu Shijin were also familiar.
It's just that when Master Niu is practicing martial arts, he doesn't release water at all, and every time Li Chengqian and Master Niu exercise together, it is always very painful.
Fortunately, because of his father's relationship, he knew that to endure hardships was to make up for them, so he would still take the initiative to find Niu Shijin to find hardships.
Seeing Li Li happily running with Niu Yingxiu, Li Chengqian also wanted to run over.
In fact, he will come over today, not to see Niu Shijin's jokes, but because he is very interested in the so-called people of Shuiyun Palace.
These hermits are not necessarily popular with the imperial court, but Fan Jingjing said that Shuiyun Palace is mainly a person who studies farming, and often walks around at home and abroad, retrieving various seeds and planting varieties that the Han Dynasty does not have.
And research high-yielding seeds.
How important agriculture is to the Tang Dynasty, there is no court official in the entire Tang Dynasty who does not know.
As the crown prince, he naturally has to care about state affairs.
Caring about state affairs, only caring about agricultural affairs, will not cause the rigidity of the relationship between father and son.
Li Chengqian is also a person who takes the world as his own responsibility, and although he cannot directly manage the localities, he is very concerned about the construction of the localities and agricultural affairs.
I saw that Fan Jingjing wanted to make tools to breed and plant.
He really wanted to go over and see it, and he thought that things like Li Lizhen and Niu Yingxiu could do should be very simple.
It is estimated that every farmer in Datang can learn it.
Now this place is desolate, there are no new crops, the land they took over has been ploughed, otherwise Fan Jingjing has to start from ploughing the ground, then it will take a lot of effort.
As for whether Niu Shijin will help, it is estimated that he will not be able to help in farming.
I remember that Empress Changsun told him that if Fan Jingjing is really from Shuiyun Palace, and Shuiyun Palace is really committed to farming, there will definitely not be only potatoes as a crop, but potatoes can attract the most attention.
The reason why Empress Eldest Sun gave Fan Jingjing such a large piece of land was to see if Fan Jingjing still had any private goods.
"As long as you are a real farmer, you will not look at the barren fields, and the fields that have been opened up will gradually become barren if they are not planted.
Therefore, Fan Jingjing will definitely plant seriously, even if she does not plant, she will turn over the soil every day to maintain the fertility of the land. ”
Although Queen Changchun has never farmed herself, she has always been very concerned about farming, so she is very clear about the steps of farming, and she also knows the mentality of ordinary farmers.
It's a pity that with her position, she has no way to reduce the tax on agriculture, because if there is no agricultural tax as a foundation for the entire Datang, the entire finance will be unstable.
Every time they collect their taxes, they often cheat and play cunning, and they do not collect one-thousandth of their taxes.
If there is a way to know how much money a businessman earns and how much tax he can collect, then the financial structure of the entire Datang will be complete.
Now the items that can receive commercial tax are only some fixed business activities.
Seeing Li Chengqian's inattentive appearance, Niu Shijin frowned, the knife and gun had no eyes, even if they were now tied with a piece of cloth, they would still be injured if they were smashed, if Li Chengqian was so inattentive, it would be easy to be seriously injured.
Niu Shijin knew where Li Chengqian's mind was now, so he said:
"If you want to go, go and see it!
I also wanted to go over and see how to grow potatoes the right way.
I still think it's more convenient to plant it in a pot and show it to my mother.
But it's not easy to burn a big vat.
I don't have a few large vats at home, which are either used to hold rice or water. ”
After getting the consent, Li Chengqian quickly ran to find Li Liqian.
From a distance, they saw Fan Jingjing in front of a pile of tools, teaching the two girls, but the two girls did not formally touch the tools, but took the wood cut out by Fan Jingjing, arranging and combining.
Fan Jingjing told the two girls what these tools were used for and how they were useful.
But the carpenter's tools are very large, and they are not used much for the two little girls.
The ink line is easy to get dirty, and the two girls are obviously reluctant to touch it.
For the blocks, the two showed great fun.
Fan Jingjing simply made a set of building blocks for the two of them to play with.
Making a barrel, an ordinary job, is not too special, and any carpenter will do it.
The people around the two little girls who really did it, even Fan Jingjing was just pretending, but guiding these people and using tools to divide labor and cooperate.
Some people are working hard to see wood, sawing wood into flat sheets, and some people are moving wood.
"When you cut wood, you can't just cut one place, cut one out of a dozen trees, and leave a gap for small trees to grow, so that the forest can develop sustainably."
If you are a professional wood chopping person, you may know this truth, but whether it is the person brought by Niu Yingxiu or the person brought by Li Lizhen, naturally there is no concept of how to cut and how to deal with it.
They actually cut down three trees in a row, which made Fan Jingjing very angry, and scolded with her hands on her waist.
Although Fan Jingjing was scolding, her tone was very gentle, more like a broken thought.
Niu Shijin also saw this, under normal circumstances, men hate women's broken thoughts very much, however, Niu Shijin actually felt that Fan Jingjing's broken thoughts were very cute.
