Chapter 1338: Seeds
Wang Huifeng said: "This garden was burned after two years of barrenness, plum trees seem to have been burned to death, but I didn't expect that three years ago after the flood, the plum trees in this plum garden sent out new shoots, only half a year to grow full of branches, in the winter and spring of that year will be in full bloom, a garden of plum and red plum." ”
"To this day, the plum garden has bloomed in winter for three consecutive years, and His Majesty said that this is the gospel given by God to the people, and it should not be circled for self-appreciation, except for the occasional need to circle for banquets, the rest of the time it is open to the people for appreciation."
Wang Huifeng looked at the traces of the fire on the broken wall, "Your Majesty also said that keeping this broken wall and ruins will let the world remember that peace is not easy to come by, warn those in power, do not let the people down, let the world fall into war again, and also remind the world that peace should be the consensus." ”
Princess Langya and the others were surprised, and couldn't help but sigh: "Your Majesty Shengming." ”
When Princess Langya came home after participating in the flower viewing banquet, she couldn't help but say to her husband: "Although Jingwen is a big husband, he is still much worse than His Majesty, don't blame us for the defeat in Jiangnan." ”
Jingwen is the character of King Langya, the couple has a good relationship, and King Langya has always called him in private.
King Langya: ......
He already knew that he was not as good as Zhao Hanzhang, but well, why did he mention it?
This time to the flower feast, Princess Langya donated ten brocades, Wang Huifeng sold the brocade on the spot, and the money obtained will be set up a separate bill, this donation is mainly used for food and clothing in Yushantang, as well as farm tools, animal power and seeds needed for spring ploughing.
Seeds include not only grain seeds, vegetable seeds, but also chicken seedlings, duck seedlings, goose seedlings, etc.
Yushantang is a place to shelter the lonely, widowed and distressed, mainly children who have lost their shelter, and who, like other people in China, have the right to three years of compulsory education.
But there are many children who are not of this age, or who have been in school for three years and cannot go further.
The imperial court has tried to tilt its policies in their favor, but their lives are still difficult.
The imperial court had a rule that young men and women who had reached the age of sixteen were to leave Yuzentang, and when the time came, they would be given a share of the land, seeds, and some agricultural tools, and then settle down.
If they want to live a good life in the future, they should take advantage of the time they spend at Yushan Hall to learn more skills and accumulate more money.
China is still mainly based on agriculture, and the skills learned and the money accumulated are naturally mainly based on agriculture.
Zhao Hanzhang also knew this, so he sent Sinong Temple to Yushan Hall from time to time to guide.
The Sinong Temple in Luoyang is responsible for the Yushan Hall in Luoyang, and the Yushan Hall in various places is responsible for the Si Nong Temple in the Yamen, which is a national order.
Children will learn more elaborate methods of seed selection, seedling, manure, weeding, and insect control from the officials of the Sinong Monastery than ordinary farmers, in addition to learning from the officials of the Sinong Monastery about repairing farm tools, basic carpentry, and animal husbandry.
Awesome children can also learn some ways to deal with animal husbandry diseases.
Sinong Temple got a batch of cotton seeds sent by Xiliang, and the mixture in their hands exceeded the number of Huangzhuang allocated to plant cotton, so after discussion, they decided to release a part of the seeds for the people to plant, and the promotion of cotton can also be carried out slowly.
Wang Huifeng got the news in advance, and she wanted to use the money to buy some cotton seeds and give them to Yushantang for planting, so that by the winter of next year, Yushantang would have a batch of quilts and cotton clothes.
There are also some children who are only two or three years old in Yushantang, and they can't stand the cold, and when they freeze, they will get a cold, which is an incurable disease in this era.
As soon as Wang Huifeng spoke, the officials of Sinong Temple agreed to set aside a part of the cotton seeds for them, and asked intimately: "Manager Wang wants to buy some rice seeds cultivated by our Sinong Temple for Yushantang, I see that part of the paddy fields in the eastern suburbs of Yushantang is extremely fertile, and it is convenient to divert water there, and our newly cultivated Luoyang East No. 5 has been planted for two years, and the selected seeds are full and large, and they are all picked from the longest rice ears." ”
Wang Huifeng was as immobile as a mountain, "The seeds of your Sinong Temple are more expensive than those on the market. ”
"This is the latest seed cultivated by our Sinong Temple, so it is naturally a little more expensive, but if it is purchased by Yushantang, we can lower it."
Wang Huifeng: "How much lower than the ones on the market?" ”
Sinong Temple: "...... How about giving you a lower 10%? ”
Wang Huifeng said: "Yushantang itself also has rice seeds, although it may not have the high yield of Sinong Temple, but it is stable, and there will be no high and low or other problems. ”
The official hurriedly explained, "Manager Wang, this Luoyang East No. 5 is said to have lasted for two years, but in fact, it has been studied for five years, and we Shen Zhengqing began to cultivate it after coming to Luoyang to join His Majesty, and it has been very stable this year, and there will definitely be no unstable seeds." ”
Wang Huifeng: "I haven't heard Shen Ruhui push this seed in the court, and the most mentioned is a seed called Luoyang South No. 2." ”
"Oh, that seed is not suitable for Luoyang, it is cultivated in the rainy places around Jiangnan and Jingchu, the mother seed is from Jingzhou, that seed is waterlogging resistant, plant height, Wang is in charge, Xia Guan was treated by Yushantang when he was in trouble before, and he stayed in it for three months, and no one will pit Yushantang."
When Wang Huifeng heard this, he looked him up and down, "You are Jiang Leigong, who was so frightened by Shile's army that he couldn't even remember his name for two months, but was admitted as an official by Fu Shangshu because he predicted several weather events?" ”
Jiang Sheng said aggrievedly: "It's a lower official." "Why does everyone only remember that he was so frightened that he was incontinent and aphasia?
I don't look at where he escaped back then.
He escaped from the prisoner camp in the Shile camp.
The prisoner camp is a good name given to it by people outside, in fact, Shile's prisoner camp is a grain storehouse, he can take advantage of the chaos to escape very powerful, okay?
Even now that he thinks about it, he can't help but shiver.
Jiang Sheng said: "If you don't believe me......"
"I believe you, I bought the seeds." Wang Huifeng negotiated with him about the price and the amount of purchase.
At this time, Shen Ruhui was also introducing the rice and wheat seeds they selected this year to Zhao Hanzhang.
The seeds cultivated in Sinong Temple will not directly enter the market, which is to avoid unexpected situations in the seeds, resulting in a large-scale reduction in the yield of the people.
Moreover, the common people actually trust the seeds they leave behind.
In the past few years, if they didn't have seeds, they wouldn't have planted the seeds given by the imperial court.
Anyway, during the Wei, Jin and Han dynasties, when the imperial court had seeds to support, they all took them back to eat them, and then planted the seeds they left.
In the past few years, many people have no food, not even food, so they will receive the seeds given by the imperial court.
This made them develop a good habit of teaching, and they would tentatively sow the seeds distributed by the imperial court.
The people's trust in the imperial court has increased a lot, which is also due to Zhao Hanzhang's unremitting efforts to let the academy and officials go to the countryside to publicize various policies.
This year, the Ministry of Household Affairs and Sinong Temple jointly counted a statistic that the per capita number of acres of rice and wheat planted by the people has risen, and millet, which has always occupied the top spot, has dropped significantly, and so far, it has accounted for less than one-fifth of the cultivated land.
There is only one watch today, good night
