When a poisonous snake was found, the guards were very nervous, why didn't they see it when they were startling the snake before? Hurry up and keep looking.

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at the snake and spoke to the lieutenant next to him: "There are many poisonous insects on the mountain, has anyone been bitten?" ”

"The medicine bag with a pungent smell on its body, like the snake in front of it, it will not rush to attack, it is disgusted by the smell of realgar, unless it is hungry, but then it should be looking for a small animal to eat."

Li Chang pointed to the sachet on Zhu Yuanzhang's waist, which contained many kinds of medicines, but like the crown princess and the pregnant women in the village, they had to stay away and couldn't follow.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the sachet on his waist, then at the colorful rope on his wrist, and smiled: "When we were young, we couldn't find the colorful thread!" Now there is. Can you know the meaning of the colorful line? ”

The lieutenant also showed his wrist and tied a colorful rope: "In fact, there is only one purpose for tying a colorful rope to a child, it is easy to find."

During the Dragon Boat Festival, you have to go up the mountain to collect dew and find mugwort, so you will drink realgar wine and wear sachets in order to expel snakes and insects.

And the child tied a colorful rope early in the morning, because the child would run around when he went out.

At this time, the multicolored ropes on the arms, wrists, ankles, and necks are conspicuous, making it easier to find the child. ”

"I see, yes, it's easy to find." Zhu Yuanzhang thought that the chief would say all kinds of auspicious meanings, but he got such an answer.

While the two were talking, the others began to work hard to harvest the two kinds of artemisia, and did not pull out the roots.

But the children pulled out a few roots, and this one will be hung at the door of the room, and it doesn't look good without roots.

"This root ......" Zhu Yuanzhang looked long.

"It is said that mugwort is the best during the Dragon Boat Festival, but in fact, it can be collected before, at least the villages in Xuancheng County will look for mugwort, artemisia annua, and other herbs in the wild.

It is used to make moxa sticks and mosquito coils, and now that it is finished, it can be harvested once in a month, and when it is cold, it can be collected again.

When the village is planted as a medicinal herb, it is natural that the roots cannot be uprooted. Although there are many wild herbs, we still have to prepare them ourselves.

Our local area is suitable for growing many kinds of medicinal materials, such as licorice, Bupleurum chinensis, Banxia, Chuanxiong, Angelica dahurica, Chonglou and so on.

In this way, manpower is saved, and at the same time it is easier to manage, and His Majesty gives a large area to the village, and the village is guaranteed to grow a lot of herbs. ”

The governor introduced the benefits of artificial cultivation of drafted medicines, which are large in quantity and easy to manage.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the surrounding mountains again: "Is the land good?" ”

"A large area of land has good soil and many plant species, which means that there are many herbs that can be used to grow them.

Plant grass where grass should be planted, plant trees where trees should be planted, and if there are many people, you can also raise insects.

Grasses are herbaceous medicinal materials, and trees are woody medicinal materials, such as cloves, eucommia, cork, mulberry, etc.

minerals, sulfur, realgar, cinnabar, gypsum.

Mushrooms, mushrooms, ganoderma lucidum, white fungus, poria cocos, etc.

Animals, bezoar, bear bile, musk, deer antler velvet, etc.

Insects, scorpions, centipedes, chiro, bees, etc.

There are also classification methods for seafood, and the simplest is the grass, wood, insects, and stone valley. ”

Seeing that Zhu Yuanzhang liked to listen to it, he popularized science, otherwise he wouldn't have learned it in vain.

Zhu Yuanzhang really likes to listen, and the group chatted while walking along the path, and the chief introduced all the plants and animals here, including insects.

By the way, the ore of the year, especially the one that can be used as fertilizer and medicine, and then focus on the role of peat.

The chief grabbed a handful of soil: "Your Majesty, please see, the village secretly ran here to pull soil before, and the peat can be burned as coal, but it's not worth it."

Its greatest role is to grow crops, and the village uses him to pave the newly opened bad land, so that the land becomes fertile land.

Then it is to take him to raise seedlings, which is better than normal fertilizer, including air permeability and water permeability. ”

"It's equivalent to a lot of fertile land? How do ordinary people know! Send someone to ask, see where there is elsewhere, a large area of land is directly used to grow things, it is better to take out some seedlings. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang understood this kind of soil and felt that it was not cost-effective to grow crops directly on very thick soil.

"That's how it should be, there are no eggs in the soil, and there are no diseased things from the crops.

When you press hard, it's a lump, and when you shake it, it becomes loose again. It is very convenient to press it and bag it from other places.

The 20,000 acres of wheat fields in the village were taken from this side, and there was no reduction in this side after they were finished. Of course, we didn't stare at one place to dig. ”

The lieutenant threw away the dirt from his hands and went to the creek in front of him to wash his hands.

The scriptures said that the people around him knew that this soil was a treasure, and its greatest use was to turn barren land into fertile land.

If others know, their homes are all low-grade fields, and they come here to transport peat, and when they go back, they are high-quality fields, and the yield per mu is too different.

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes were hot, and he observed that there were indeed a lot, so he said: "The palace has also planted land, and the soil taken from the field is selected, well......"

"When Your Majesty returns to the palace, you can bring a few boats of peat, put it in the greenhouse outside the Donghua Gate, and you can eat better dishes in winter."

The chief understands, people mention the palace, and they have to send it, to put it bluntly, the entire country belongs to others.

"Good, good! Ah! If a person is knowledgeable, he is better at farming than others.

Many people farm, but they know how to use farm manure, but unfortunately there is not much of it.

All year round, watching the sky to eat, catching up with the grain and vegetables planted, there is a disease and insect plague, except crying, there is nothing to do.

The recipes given by Xiaqiu Village, as well as the manufacturing methods of test strips for testing soil acid and alkali, as long as the people learn it, at least they don't have to cry helplessly.

Look at the sky and eat, we can also fight with God, the food is sick to treat the food, and the food is insecticidal. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang talked about pesticides and fertilizers, not to mention the three mansions of Ningguofu, Taiping Mansion, and Yingtianfu, and now the people from the government are directing the farming.

The people from the yamen took the booklet and test strips, went to the field to look, and when they saw that there was a problem with the crop, they immediately told them how to adjust it, and then helped to send things.

The twenty-one villages in Xuancheng County, without the supervision of officials, learned directly from Xiaqiu Village, and then knew where there were mines and took people to mine them.

Usually always prepare lime water, plant ash, and wait for soaking in water to cure crops.

……

After all the artemisia seeds were collected, the people in the team found a lot of herbs under the guidance of the children, and the team returned.

"The wooden bridge, why don't you replace it with a stone bridge and find out the person?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked the person who came to the car and followed the trot.

"Your Majesty, no one went out yesterday, and it was early this morning.

But there are fishermen on the west side, and they say they have seen a group of people who don't look like locals coming here.

I came early the day before yesterday, and I asked the fishermen for directions and asked Xiaqiu Village, but I haven't seen them since. ”

The person who ran with him reported the situation.

"Got it, let's investigate!" After Zhu Yuanzhang finished speaking, there was the wooden bridge in front of him, and there were people guarding it.

No one had noticed that the bridge was shaking so badly before, so I guess I thought it was like that.

Only the people of Xiaqiu Village are familiar with the situation here, and the bridge was also built by them later, and it was originally made of wood.
