The people are not clear about the affairs of the court, anyway, when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince comes, it is true that he can rely on three meals.

Then you can also get some honeycomb coal to earn piecework, and you won't lose any money.

When it's cold and snows, you won't be able to do anything! Fortunately, there is coal here, and it is allowed to take some good coal home.

Can the imperial court give anything else in winter? Now to give masks, you have to replace the old with the new, which is different from before.

I heard that if the soap is not used up, you can replace it with glycerin, wipe your hands and face, and you are not afraid of the cold wind.

The wind here is too strong in winter, and the face is full of thin cuts, which hurt when you touch it.

Next to a radish field, Zhu Biao stood there and watched: "This radish will take two months?" ”

"It's not as good as Nanjing, where you have to harvest it in a month, including Chinese cabbage.

There are still some late-planted cowpeas, eggplants, cucumbers, chrysanthemums, lettuce and other vegetables in the field.

After the frost falls, we should ask Zhaojia Village to help harvest small eggplants, small cucumbers, small cowpeas, and small lentils.

We all want the small ones, send them over, let's make shrimp oil side dishes, the big ones are not delicious.

The vegetables after the frosting are sweet, especially the eggplant, the small eggplant that is one inch big, and it is like eating fruit when you bite into it. ”

The chief has to collect the small vegetables that have been beaten by the frost after the frost, this is similar to grapes, and it is sweet after the frost!

Like some mountain pears in the north, they are sour and astringent, no one eats them, and when they are frozen and blackened in winter, they are taken and pulled with cold water, and they are sweet and lubricated.

It is the best to use such a small dish to make pickles, and you don't care about selling money first, and when you encounter an opportunity, your village has to reserve it first.

"Frosted eggplants will wilt! Okay, when the time comes, let's try it too, and let others collect it all the way. ”

Zhu Fan strongly supports this behavior, Jubiqi pickles are the most famous, and the pickles in Xiaqiu Village are the most delicious.

"It's not too north at the moment, at least south of the Yellow River, and when it comes to the north of the Yellow River, the people have more vegetable fields.

You have to grow a lot of cabbage, radish, green onions, carrots, and dried vegetables made in the autumn to survive the winter.

Then there are pickles and pickles, otherwise there will be no vegetables to eat in winter, and now that the price of salt has dropped, the people in the north can make more sauerkraut. ”

While the chief was talking, everyone came to a cabbage field again, and the cabbages were growing well.

It will take another month to harvest, and the more this time, the longer the heart, and when the frost falls, the cabbage heart eats sweet.

The same is true of turnips, now dig out the turnips, and soon they will be bran.

"What does the North look like now?" Zhu Biao looked to the north.

"It's very cold, it's snowing in some places, and the water is slowly freezing, so when we cross the river, we don't need to find a bridge, and we walk on the ice."

The lieutenant thought about it, gave an answer, and listened to what Han Han said.

Several people returned to the camp to rest while talking, and Zhao Li left in a hurry to ask the people in the village about things.

The villagers are very busy, except for the children who have to stay behind to study, and the older people go to other villages to collect vegetables.

While there are still vegetables in the field, quickly put them away, otherwise they will not be able to support the lunch box in winter.

The coal mine continues to be mined in winter, regardless of the season, and the village can only use dried vegetables to save money.

The young people even caught the car and went to other counties to inspect the situation and see the turnips, carrots and Chinese cabbage in other people's vegetable fields.

It is estimated that there are only these three kinds of fresh vegetables in the winter lunch, and when everyone collects them, the village buys them in large quantities and at a low price.

Fortunately, there were craftsmen there, and the craftsmen helped to repair the cellar, and the villagers wanted to help, but they were driven away by the craftsmen, thinking that they were in the way.

The advantage of clay is that it is easy to dig holes, and craftsmen build three types of cellars.

One is to dig a ditch first, the bottom is grass ash, the top is straw, then put the radish, cabbage, carrots in, and then use straw and wooden sticks to build a shelf, lay a straw mat, and finally cover the soil.

This kind of digging can be more than that, not too big, and you can take it as you go, and you will soon consume the vegetables in a cellar.

The second is to make a hole, the soil layer above is not destroyed, and the bottom is hollowed out, leaving a hole to put a ladder or a step with mud.

You can put more vegetables in this category, remember to put a lit candle before you go down every time to see if it is extinguished, and when it is extinguished, you can open your mouth and blow the wind for a while.

It preserves vegetables for longer than the first one, but next year it will have to be filled in and used again to dig up.

An additional hole will be dug in the middle of the top, and then it will be shielded to release the wind, forming a flowing wind with the mouth of the vegetable cellar.

The last one is a fixed cellar built of bricks, which is for long-term use, and a warehouse will be built on it, and a wellhead will also be set aside.

The warehouse is made to be ventilated at any time, which is convenient for drying vegetables and making sausages and bacon, and the vegetable cellar below is put in the water tank vegetables and other things, and the time is time to make pickles.

Children must tell clearly that they are not allowed to go down casually, and before going down, they must open the candles at the entrance of the vegetable cellar, and then put the candles from the vents above, and they can only be extinguished.

The fixed cellar will not be dismantled, and it is very practical to use it for a long time, with the warehouse above.

It is impossible for a craftsman to build a fixed cellar for every household, but only twenty for the village, and the village pays for the materials.

……

At dinner, Zhao Li got three pamphlets, building a brick kiln, building a cement kiln, and building a ceramic kiln.

Zhu Biao said to Zhao Li: "Zhao Lichang, there is a local place for iron smelting, go there to find slag to burn cement, and grind cement driven by a water wheel."

The brick kiln prepared the village for the future construction of houses, as well as for the construction of houses for people from other places who came to the coal mines.

As for the ceramic kiln, porcelain can be sold for more money, and pottery is the most practical, and people can't do without it every day.

The coal mines began to increase their business, and when your kilns were built and you knew the simple techniques, the coke over there began to be supplied.

You have to spend money to buy it, you can't steal it, and coke can provide a higher temperature and a more continuous and stable heat supply, which is easier to grasp than a firewood kiln. ”

Zhao Li held three booklets in his hands, and after listening to Zhu Biao's words, he knelt down and kowtowed vigorously: "Thank you, Your Royal Highness the Prince, thank you, Your Royal Highness the Prince......"

"Get up!" Zhu Biao made a sound, and someone next to him came over to pull Zhao Li up.

"This palace wants to make Zhaojia Village another Xiaqiu village in Ruzhou, and I don't expect you to develop new technologies, as long as you can become rich and make other villages willing to learn."

Zhu Biaodao explained the reason and set a benchmark so that more villages could see how to work hard to improve their living standards.

The land should continue to be planted, and mineral fertilizers and farm fertilizers should be used flexibly in the planting process, plus natural pesticides.

In the case of increasing land production and income, the local coal, clay, and iron ore resources are used to develop small handicraft industries.

The formation of a cluster effect, so that foreign businessmen are willing to come to buy goods, coupled with the guarantee of shipping, to drive the overall economic development.

When more and more villages with this kind of guidance appear, other villages are naturally anxious.

The state capitals next to Ningguo Mansion and Taiping Mansion are already in a hurry, and the income of the people in one year is higher than that of the people in other places for two years, or even more.
