While everyone else eats breakfast, the rice planters and wheat harvesters are still working in the fields, which is the normal way of life.

"That's big! Then I gave an order, and asked Dingliao Duwei to send ginseng seeds, ten cents for one seed, how many we wanted. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang, who was having breakfast, said to Zhu Biao, who got up early in the morning to mark the question book.

Zhu Biao was a little distracted, probably tired, but he still responded: "Erchen knows." ”

"This matter is very important, bring the seeds, let's plant them, and then the people of Daming will have a lot of ginseng." Zhu Yuanzhang reminded.

The surrounding ministers naturally looked at the location of the people from Xiaqiu Village who were eating together, pregnant women, old people, too young, and menstrual people were all there.

But I didn't see the chief, and the chief of Xiaqiu Village seemed to have gone out with a dinner plate just now.

Even Song Zhifu and others were very tempted when they heard it, ginseng is very expensive, and ordinary ginseng is more than two catties.

The ginseng that has been encountered for a long time is calculated according to the plant, and the specific amount depends on how the two parties talk about it.

When medicinal materials are used, ordinary people buy medicine when they are sick, and they have to spend a few hundred dollars to buy ginseng tablets.

Don't look at the amount of ginseng used for a few dollars, drinking medicine is not good for a pair, drinking it for ten days and half a month, plus other medicinal materials, it is also unbearable for the people.

Now there is a Huimin Pharmacy in the nearby state capital, and the imperial court bears the expenses, and the imperial court's money is not conjured.

If you can plant, maybe one pound of 100 wen is enough, and the people can afford to eat.

……

"It's not that the people in our village can't endure hardship, but they don't want to endure hardship."

The chief came out with two plates and sat there muttering.

He waited for everyone to eat when they were about to do it, and ate with Hanhan, he was also hungry now, but he could persevere.

The people of the village have a good life, and now they go to the field to plant rice without the slightest problem, and they are still so skilled and industrious.

He looked at it and fell asleep, until someone touched him: "Captain, bring me food?" ”

"Hanhan, you ...... Yo! When is it, the sun has risen so high, everyone is there, yes, there is no shed in vain. ”

The chief woke up and looked around, and the people who planted the rice before were sitting under the shed to eat, one dinner plate per person.

Everyone is barefoot, with muddy water on their trouser legs, and they are reluctant to wash their feet and dry their shoes, because their feet have been soaked in water for so long, which is bigger than normal, and they wear shoes and squeeze their feet.

Now that I put it outside to dry, I can dehydrate more, and the skin on my feet is wrinkled and soaked white.

There was no one else around, and the helpers ate in the distance, leaving this place to Xiaqiu Village.

These people who came belonged to the family with few fields and many people, and they happened to be in labor.

It was agreed with them that they did not have to take care of the meals and accommodation during the service, they only needed to be followed, and they did not need to bring a blanket.

As soon as they arrived, when they saw the food, they immediately felt that they had earned it, and each of them was given an extra bar of soap and a hand towel and toothbrush and toothbrush, but the bedding could not be given to them.

They need to work for a month, now they harvest wheat and plant rice, work for a few days, and when the rice and soybeans are harvested, they will come back.

That's enough for a month, even if their service is over.

Xiaqiu Village told them separately that they were given ten yuan a day, and when they left, they were five catties of salted fish per person.

When they encounter such good things, they cherish them very much, and work hard when they work, and at the same time do not disturb the people of Xiaqiu Village.

"Today is a fried bun? The soldiers also eat? It's troublesome enough, anyway, I don't want to wrap the stuffing, I accompanied Zhu Biaobao before, tired! ”

Zhu Wentian moved the chair and sat opposite the inner chief, remembering the matter of grinding bread filling with Zhu Biao, Zhu Biao didn't know it at all.

"Someone did it. Your Majesty gave us all the land where we dig peat and plant artemisia, and all the land that connects Xiaqiu Village to that side.

I told Your Majesty that I could grow ginseng, and Your Majesty helped me buy seeds, and I bought one for ten cents, and I thought I would receive a lot in the future.

You'll have to plan for the future, such a big patch! It gives me a headache just thinking about it. ”

The lieutenant waited for Han Han to come over and talk about the situation, the area was too big, and there had to be hundreds of thousands of acres.

Zhu Wentian swallowed a fried bun: "It's expensive, it's too much, don't look at the ginseng now, it's always a pound more, that means good."

At present, the Northeast is occupied by the Jurchens, and there are many ginsengs, and they can pick 40,000 or 50,000 catties a year.

Now they are watching our Ming Dynasty fight with the Northern Yuan, and the trade volume will decrease, and when this war is over, they will immediately get along with us.

The previous Yuan Dynasty suppressed them very strongly, they hated the Yuan Dynasty, and the Yuan Dynasty forbade them to hunt with bows and arrows, and also forbade them to mine gold and silver mines.

Waiting for the increase in trade volume and more exchanges, the price of ginseng can be reduced to two or three hundred wen a catty.

Since Your Majesty has given us such a large piece of land, let's cultivate the land first, and then buy fresh ginseng with the Jurchens.

In the autumn, it happened to be planted in our field, and the price was not two or three hundred wen, but sixty or seventy wen was enough!

Harvesting seeds now is for future planning, and ginseng can be used medicinally in five years, and the most suitable place to grow ginseng is still in the northeast.

The seeds should be adjusted, ten grains are given for a penny, and a pound of ginseng seeds is basically ...... More than 2,500 grains. ”

When Zhu Wentian said it, he considered the gram number of catties, which was different from him at that time, and he had to add it.

"Hanhan, since there are forty or fifty thousand catties, and one catty is only two or three hundred wen, what are we going to do with it?" The governor didn't figure it out for a while.

"Because it is not enough, the price is low, it does not mean that the people of the Ming Dynasty are enough, forty or fifty thousand catties, and the more you pick, the less you do.

In many places, there are no crude drug depots and Huimin pharmacies, and people are sick and take out hundreds of dollars to buy medicines, which is very stressful.

Some medicines don't need ginseng, and some have to be taken for a long time, like giving Wang Yiqian to regulate his body. ”

"Yes! It's okay to be cheap or enough, eh? That's not the case with supply and demand, right? ”

"It has nothing to do with supply and demand, it depends on how much money the Ming court gives each other.

You can earn 30 wen for a day's work, which is normal, but there are not many in Nanjing.

But these thirty Wen came to buy things for the Jurchens, and they thought that they could do it for ten days, and they could save money to buy iron pots.

When it comes to the difference in the cost of living and the cost of living, if you are given ten cents a day in Nanjing, you have to sleep on the street and starve to death.

In the original Xiaqiu Village, there were more than 500 people, and 300 people earned 10 yuan a day......"

"I can die of happiness, I can buy a lot of things, everyone can get together, and I can buy dozens of big animals a year." The lieutenant understands this time.

After speaking, he ate it quickly, and when Han Han was ready to rescue him at any time, he drank the soup in one gulp and turned around to find Zhu Yuanzhang.

You can't give ten seeds for one seed, you should buy ten seeds for one penny, and the proportion is a little bit worse.

By the way, he explained to Zhu Yuanzhang the problem of the difference in survival and living costs, and he is now learning and selling.

"Yes, you can't give them too much money, they don't know what's going on on our side.

The people of Daming near them don't have the money of Ying Tianfu, isn't this the situation of migrant workers!

Working in Nanjing, saving money and returning to his own place, the money is not a small amount. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang then understood that the amount of wages depends on the cost of living, and also depends on the demand for employment and the demand for labor.
