Chapter 148: Trivia in the Village Dragon Boat Festival (Fourth Shift)

The boats of the Xiaqiu Village team first went down the Qinhuai River into the Yangtze River, and then went upstream.

There were still three ships, carrying iron and saltpeter, sulfur, and lead, and charcoal was not given, and the village itself would do it.

This time, Zhou Zong stayed in the Prince's Mansion, and there were only twenty guards and four people.

The lieutenant is reluctant to be with outsiders, delaying him to chat with Hanhan, with others here, Hanhan can only pretend to be a fool.

What to do in the future, I don't know yet, anyway, the sixteen-year-old master can't take it out, and he can't learn these skills when he starts learning in his mother's womb.

Zhu Wentian sat on the boat in a daze, actually sorting out knowledge.

When he wrote the letter, he took into account that there is no winter wheat in Shandong at the moment, it is all spring wheat, and then the imperial court has to let silkworms be raised, so it should be in August and September, and this year's lunar calendar is July.

Theoretically, Shandong can plant rice and wheat together, but Shandong is reluctant to plant rice, if there is corn, it will be easy to do, and cooperate with wheat.

In addition, you can use the soil method to kill insects, boiled millet as poisonous bait, mix wheat seeds after adjusting oil, can trap and kill underground pests, letter is soil letter, arsenic.

Then there is fertilizer, which also has a soil method: spring equinox, rake two wheat once, sprinkle a bucket of salt per mu, and the wheat will grow and flourish. Or after raking, it is good to sprinkle salt in the Qingming Festival.

However, the sprinkling of salt is generally not applicable, it has long been there, and the people of the Western Han Dynasty came up with it, and it was too salt-intensive.

Daming needs cheap and effective fertilizers and pesticides, which is quite worrying.

Even if it is made, the situation in each region is different, and the people will not use it, and if they exert themselves, they will exceed the standard seriously, and then they will kill frogs, fish, and so on.

The key soil will become worse and worse, and it is better to reclaim more land, and the current population of the Ming Dynasty is small.

Yes, if you fight to the north, then the vast grassland, the war will not stop in the Northern Yuan.

Zhu Wentian was thinking about the follow-up things, and occasionally heyed a few times.

Mrs. Zhu frowned when he chatted, and when he was done, halfway through the road, everyone was going to have lunch, and he couldn't help it: "Zhu Lichang, do you really know how to heal?" ”

"How could I? It's Hanhan, he gave the pulse. The lieutenant shook his head and glanced at Hanhan.

"Yes, Hanhan, I, yes! Hey, hey, hey! Zhu Wentian cooperated.

"Zhu Lichang, don't be kidding." Zhu Taiyi smiled bitterly.

"There are people in the village who have this symptom, and then I will carry the pill on my back, and the medicine will not kill people under normal circumstances."

The lieutenant reluctantly admitted that he was not Hanhan, he carried it himself, and it had nothing to do with taking the pulse.

"Eat, the buns, it's still hot, and when you mix the stuffing, you put more salt, no need to dip it in soy sauce, and no vinegar to dip it."

The eldest lady beckoned the people on the boat to eat, and the child first fed the working boatmen steamed buns, ate the steamed buns, and then drank the soup in the saliva bladder.

It's really not cold, it's not bad if it's not bad, it's hot, so I don't bring stir-fry and rice, and the buns are steamed and put into a basket covered with a quilt.

Try to minimize contact with air, the heat of the day is different from the heat of the bun itself.

The boatmen said they were full, and the children ate themselves.

When the boat arrived in Wuhu, it was almost home, and it entered from Wuhu, followed by the Huangchi River, the Huangchi in Huangchi Town.

At dusk, when the sky was not the slightest cool, three boats arrived at the village pier.

"The lieutenant and Hanhan are back!" Someone shouted.

The villagers rushed up, with happy smiles on their faces, and hurriedly helped to build the springboard, and thirty-two people got off the boat one after another, and the villagers went up to carry things.

"Chief, chief, look over there, on the road, the archway, the three archways, loyalty, benevolence, and goodness."

Some villagers pointed to the road at the entrance of the village for the chief to see, excited.

The lieutenant saw it just now, and he was indeed happy, and at the same time he thought about why he was left until now.

"Good! That's great! The lieutenant shouted loudly, and the village now has confidence.

There is a hidden benefit of the memorial arch, the people of Xiaqiu Village and the people of Xihe Village fight, both sides say that the other is not right, the people of the Yamen look at the three memorial arches of Xiaqiu Village, choose to believe in Xiaqiu Village, and catch the people of Xihe Village.

As for the rest...... It's nothing, it's just that the chief can cry when he worships his ancestors.

Like what, he didn't manage the village well, and only got three archways, which is ashamed of the ancestors or something.

The villagers who came back after all ran to the place of the archway to see, and the three arches were three into.

The village elders were so excited that they shed tears, and the children ran around the torii.

"Eat, change your clothes first, or go back to the village to be comfortable." The lieutenant felt a root under his feet.

Dinner was being cooked, and more than fifty more people continued to increase the number of meals.

The lieutenant poured wine for the guards and Zhu Taiyi, and the chilled rice wine, brewed by the village itself, should be called sake.

There are many impurities in rice wine, and some people will put lime in it, which is turbid wine.

If you want sake, you strain it, and keep straining it until it is clear.

The eldest son of the lieutenant chief sat at the main table today, and he reported on what happened after the lieutenant chief's departure.

"The people of the court came, took most of the grain from the village, used it for planting, and then brought the same weight of grain.

Twenty-one villages have harvested rapeseed and ramie, planted rice seedlings from the village's seeds, lent them out, and returned them.

We also left them wheat seeds and soybean seeds, and they said that our village should raise silkworms, how can mulberry trees be planted well, and produce more leaves.

It means that we will provide them with grafting after planting mulberry trees, I didn't say yes or no, our village does not raise silkworms......"

He said that he stopped to eat food and drink wine, but he did not delay.

It is said that the officials of Ningguo Mansion and Xuancheng County have come to see the archway of the village and write it into the county chronicle.

After that, I asked someone to send a letter back, and other villages began to make dried vegetables, and a batch of them had already been delivered, and there was no shortage of vegetables in winter.

In a few days, Wang Laofu and his father Wang Yiqian will still bring people to work, and their family's land will be planted.

The village has set aside a lot of land for planting greenhouses, a total of ten acres, and now it is manure!

The glass blows every day, and the fire never stops, partly to make mirrors, and partly to install the windows of the greenhouse.

The twelve villages where the flintlock pistols were made were hammering day and night, eating and sleeping alternately, and now there was movement.

Four barrels have been built, and at this rate, forty flintlock pistols can be produced by the end of the year, but they are tired, and eight more people have been selected to follow them, and they can be rotated more after learning.

In the village, two sheep have their young, and together with the other cows, the people of the village drink milk every morning.

Twenty-one villages harvested rapeseed and ramie, sold them, pooled money to buy a lot of livestock, and sent people to the villages to learn ......

The eldest son of the lieutenant told one thing after another, Xiaqiu Village is indeed very busy, if there is no one in charge, everyone will be like headless flies.

After dinner, Zhu Wentian took a shower and went to the ancestral hall to sleep, which was relatively cool.

A few days have passed, and on the fifth day of the fifth month of May, today's Dragon Boat Festival, I didn't have a good time last year, and everyone has been prepared this year.

The chief thinks about the words, when worshipping the ancestors, the archway is set up in time, and when the time comes, he kneels and cries, hum!
