Time gradually entered the summer, and the plague of locusts gradually disappeared.

Li Shimin told heaven and earth that he performed a raw locust eating.

At the same time, it also announced how to eat locusts and encouraged people in Chang'an to raise more chickens and ducks.

The rich people naturally complied with it, and most of them had some food savings, so the days passed like this.

Ordinary farmers, this season is not the season to eat all the grain, gritting their teeth, they can still hold on.

When the grain merchants in the market were preparing to take advantage of this opportunity and make a lot of money, the Niu family took the lead, the Wei Chi family followed up, and the result of the imperial court opening a warehouse to release grain. Although the price of grain has not been stabilized at the original level, it has only risen six times, which is barely acceptable, and more importantly, there is a lot of cheap meat in the grass market, and if you can't afford to buy grain, you simply go to buy meat to eat.

"Still hasn't rained......"

"The imperial court is already working hard to step up the construction of the waterwheel. The waterwheel is able to bring water up the river. ”

"But a lot of fields are not near the river, and those fields will be lost, right?"

Fan Jingjing's field was in the midst of this drought, but it had just rained.

"The rain came just in time, and it was just in time for watering. I think our field is really smooth. It always rains at the right time. It's just that this rain is a little lighter, if it can rain down to the whole of Chang'an, everyone will not be sad. ”

Fan Jingjing patrolled her field, Qingjiang vegetables were already ready to be harvested, and some vegetables were pulled out a while ago for everyone to eat, everyone thought it was very delicious, not only delicious for Fan Jingjing, but too delicious.

"It's much better than the dishes of later generations, and the fiber is not too stiff, so it's very smooth to eat."

Fan Jingjing thought in her heart.

In fact, this is not the first time she has discovered the function of water condensed by water balloons.

She has done experiments, and the mung bean sprouts she distributed, if they are made of ordinary water, taste much worse than the water condensed by water vapor in the air.

Although the speed of mung bean sprouts is very fast, but the first batch of seeds she still let him grow into mung bean seedlings, let

Mung bean seedlings grow up safely and smoothly, she knows that the batch of seeds in her hands is very precious, so she tries to grow all the seeds as much as possible, and plant them in the field, even if there is no way to completely plant them in the fields they have developed, she also can't plant the part that has not been planted in the surrounding fields, so that they can grow tenaciously on their own.

He still doesn't have enough manpower to take good care of all the seeds and grow them, so the fields she has opened up are still less than 1,000 acres.

Moreover, the tightness of her farming made many experienced former farmers of the Forestry Department come to admonish her.

"If you plant too densely, it won't grow well, and the harvest will be a problem in the future. And there is too little grain to grow, and it will be gone after paying taxes. ”

"We don't have to pay taxes on our own grain, but when we need to pay taxes, we go and buy grain and pay taxes with the grain we buy.

You should have noticed that the vegetables we grow are much better than the food outside. ”

"We don't have a chance to eat outside vegetables, they are all grown in bits and pieces by ourselves. However, Fan Niangzi's field, the vegetables planted are indeed more delicious, perhaps this has something to do with the fertilization method that Fan Niangzi taught us. ”

Suddenly, an umbrella landed on Fan Jingjing's head.

"Master, you need to take care of your body now, so let's hold an umbrella!" Fan Qi ran over and put the umbrella on Fan Jingjing's head.

Fan Jingjing took the umbrella, this is an oil-paper umbrella, one of the special products she recently produced using black tree grease. There are a lot of pictures drawn on the paper umbrella, which looks lively and beautiful.

However, the recent sales have not been very good. The most important thing is that it has not rained outside Chang'an recently, and the merchants who come to buy the goods, although they think these paper umbrellas are very cute, but they don't dare to buy too many goods, because there are only some ladies who need shade, and they may be interested in these people.

Fan Jingjing is not in a hurry, the damage speed of the oil-paper umbrella is not fast, but those vegetables that pay attention to freshness. It must be consumed in the first place.

Ordinary farmers can't afford to buy these fresh vegetables, and most of them eat home-grown vegetables.

Fan Jingjing made these dishes into kimchi, which can be left for a long time, and can also be eaten directly, eating kimchi has some benefits for the body.

And Fan Jingjing understands very well that the kimchi produced with her own vegetables. It has great benefits for physical and mental health.

It's a pity that there is no scientific test in this era. Otherwise, through scientific testing, she would have been able to sell these kimchi at a high price.

Kimchi can be left for a long time, can be eaten as a dish, can also be eaten as a general snack, and the taste is quite good.

The sugarcane seeds brought by Fan Jingjing are sugarcane seeds that can be planted in the north, which is different from the sugarcane in this era that can only be planted in the south, and the sweetness is different.

However, the growth rate of sugarcane is not so fast, Fan Jingjing planted sugar beets, and sugar beets grow much faster than sugar cane, although the sweetness is not as good as sugar cane.

It can also make up for the blank time after growing up.

Sugar cane was considered a spice in the Tang Dynasty and needed to be transported from the south. As long as it is transported over long distances, the price will be many times higher.

It is used to make kimchi, which will greatly increase the cost of kimchi.

Fan Jingjing has estimated the consumption level of the current rich people, and then knows what kind of price the current products should have in order to be accepted by them and become daily consumption.

Although the rich will also buy some luxury goods, they will buy them once or twice at most. What Fan Jingjing wants is a long stream of water. What's more, things like food and daily necessities, if the price is too high, will not be accepted by the rich.

Fan Jingjing sent a message to the savages, willing to adopt their children who had no one to raise, accept some old people over, and even ordinary people could join the ranks of Fan Jingjing's farm.

However, Fan Jingjing didn't force it, just exchanged some food for some meat, fur and various products in the mountains, and she also showed some minerals to the people on the mountain.

"If there are any of these stones, we will take them. But the food that can be exchanged for it is different......"

Fan Jingjing will not talk to the savages in person, but ask Sun Erlang to send people to preach to the people on the mountain.

Savages have always existed, some of them were people who fled to the mountains between the Sui and Tang dynasties, and some of them were people who grew up in the mountains uncontrolled for generations.

Over the years, some people have gone up the mountain and some people have come down the mountain. The TV series Fan Jingjing heard that the lives of people in the mountains may not be too good. Even their own strife is divided.

However, for them, the government is not a good thing to take care of the people. It's the claws of terror.

They would take the people to work and collect the food of the people, but they would not contribute anything to the people.

The concept of the nation of the nation is too distant for them.

"It feels like they're people who enjoy the protection of the state, but don't want to pay."

"Master, I think it's because they're too poor and don't have any food leftover, and if they give the money or time to the authorities, they won't be able to live. And many people have had their land annexed or owe a lot of money to the landlords. If you continue to live in the same place, you can only live a very miserable life. ”

Sun Erlang resolutely did not call Fan Niangzi, but called the master with Fan Qi.

Although they are Fan Jingjing's tenant farmers, they are taken care of a lot by Fan Jingjing in life, Fan Jingjing coordinates their lives, but provides them with a lot of job opportunities.

They feel that their lives are much busier than before, but they can afford to be busy.

What's more important is their points wood.

You can exchange a lot of cheap supplies to make their lives better than before.

Even if you want to exchange copper coins, it's not impossible.

But Fan Jingjing has already purchased a large number of their living needs. It's much cheaper than when they go out and buy it themselves.

"Master, you're pregnant, it's raining, it's better to go back! If the road outside is slippery and you fall, it won't be good. ”

Fan Jingjing was finally confirmed to be pregnant with Niu Shijin's child.

Niu Feiling, so Fan Jingjing came to talk about her marriage to Niu Shijin in the morning.

Fan Jingjing was stunned for two days, and finally said: "This is a good thing, the official will not force me to marry." ”

Then I happily prepared to give birth to the child.

As for reputation, she is not ready to get married or look for a job, and even when she buys things, someone will send her to choose, and she doesn't need to contact most people at all.

Even if I came into contact with those people, I didn't know who Fan Jingjing was. It didn't affect her at all.

The Niu family was impatient, and Niu Feiling found that he had become an unpopular figure, so he simply asked Niu Yingxiu to persuade Fan Jingjing.

"Even if you want to have a wedding now, there is no groom! So forget it! ”

Fan Jingjing responded to Niu Yingxiu: "By the way, do you want to come to class?" Can you halve the lesson fee? Come here to take classes, you can learn both civil and martial arts, and Yu Chi Aya is our martial arts teacher. ”

"Can you get along with Sister Wei Chi? I remember that she used to run after my brother every day, and it seemed that she wanted to marry my brother. Now that you have my brother's seed in your belly, will she let you go? ”

I see, no wonder she kept looking at my stomach in a daze. But I didn't sense the thought of her wanting to do something to my stomach. ”

"I see that when my mother was pregnant with her belly, her belly was round, why didn't your belly bulge out at all?"

Fan Jingjing couldn't cry or laugh a little, and said, "It's only been two months now......"

The school is about to officially open, and Fan Jingjing, with the help of the royal family, recruited two more teachers, these two teachers are serious Confucian scholars, one of whom is retired from the Ministry of Rites.

For children at this age, reading and literacy is the most important.

Fan Jingjing didn't plan to let them change from a brush to a quill, so she still wanted them to practice the brush well.

However, when it came time to count, she prepared the quills and did not waste paper, but let them write directly on the leaves.

Because traditional ink and quill pens are not so easy to write, Fan Jingjing handed over her research work to a few women with more flexible brains.

It also made these princes and princesses think about how to improve the ink.

Sometimes some inventions are just a homework given to students by teachers with brains.

In most cases, these students misunderstand the assignment the teacher asks for, start fantasies, and create usable objects.

Li Chengqian has been very depressed recently, especially when he learned that Fan Jingjing really won the lottery, he thought about how he would be a stepfather in the future?

There are a lot of drugs in the uterus that make pregnant people miscarry, but they will more or less cause physical harm.

Li Chengqian contacted Fan Jingjing and found that she was not resistant to having children, if he let Fan Jingjing's children be lost, and then let Fan Jingjing know, it is estimated that Fan Jingjing would treat him as an enemy.

He felt that Fan Jingjing didn't seem to attach great importance to his identity as the crown prince, and really treated him like a younger brother, and he should be beaten and scolded a lot.

Of course, when you perform well, you will also be praised, and there will be candy to eat. made Li Chengqian cry and laugh.

After learning that Fan Jingjing was pregnant, everyone didn't want Fan Jingjing to do manual labor.

"Proper physical work is good for physical and mental health."

The carpentry tools in Fan Jingjing's hand were taken away by Li Chengqian.

"What work are you going to do, leave it to the people I brought......"

"The tool I'm going to make is a business secret."

"Is it a tool for other children to weave scarves?"

Li Chengqian saw the finished scarf, because Fan Jingjing was very good, after weaving the scarf, the first one was sent to Empress Changsun, and he prepared one for the emperor.

After that, he didn't take it out and sell it, but let each of the princes and princesses take one. Including Li Chengqian himself, there is one.

He felt that after putting a scarf around his neck, there was a feeling of chic or beauty.

However, after sending out so many scarves, Fan Jingjing watched the feeling of everyone wearing scarves, but did not continue to produce.

"Why not continue to produce? Don't you like to make money? I don't know how many officials are wearing scarves when we see us, and there are upstarts who want to buy scarves and try them at home. ”

"I think the cotton threads used are too simple and the styles are too simple, but if we can make some changes in the age and make the colors more varied, we can weave a more beautiful scarf. What's more, it's going to be summer, and it's useless to produce so much now, at least it won't be able to sell in large quantities until autumn and winter, and this time is just the right time for us to study how to dye more beautiful colors. And weave more patterns. ”

Fan Jingjing felt that there was no way to weave more patterns with the tools used in the production of children, but it was possible for those women to weave more patterns by hand.

The price of hand-weaving can be relatively high, anyway, the manpower in this era is relatively cheap. The price of weaving out is basically earned.

Of course, the common people can't afford it. Fan Jingjing also felt that at this time, business was not developed enough, and rich people were not rich enough. Maybe you have to wait for Emperor Zhenguan to become a Tianke Han, and a large amount of materials will flow in, and the wealth will slowly accumulate!

At this time, many nobles were still in the initial stage of wealth accumulation.
