Chapter 650: The topic jumps and tosses
"At this time next year, I think more people will eat moon cakes in Daming. It should be long, drink! ”
Zhu Yuanzhang ignored the other ministers, he drank beer with the lieutenant chief, he thought the wine was sweet, and the rice wine did not burp.
"Your Majesty, if you sell it through official channels, the people will definitely be able to eat it. The drier the mooncake and the more sugar it has, the longer the shelf life. We can't eat, and it will go bad in a few days. ”
The lieutenant knows how to preserve food for a long time, and when the army fights, Han Han often provides methods, including meat floss and fried noodles.
Like the Zhu Wentian old-fashioned egg cake made in the village, everyone usually eats it within two days, if it is dried a little, put it in a box, add oil paper, and it can be eaten for a year.
There is also a peach-shaped cake, the one with a layer of white sugar on top, which is soft when it is first baked, and it tastes equally hard because it has been left for a long time.
"It seems that sugarcane is needed, and it is ...... to grow sugarcane in Fujian" Zhu Yuanzhang considered how many places in Fujian were suitable for growing sugarcane.
"Your Majesty, go to Guangdong to plant, our current sugarcane variety is called bamboo cane, and it can be harvested every year after planting, which is the same as purple flowers.
Guangdong and Guangxi can be planted, and due to the influence of regional relations, the rule of the Ming Dynasty there is not too stable.
When the literacy class is dispatched next year, the local people will be guided to plant sugarcane, which will be planted in the spring next year and harvested in the autumn.
When the harvest sent the army over to help, by the way to help the local people repair the house, one is to appear close to the people, and the other is to let the people see the lineup of the Ming army. ”
"Good idea, it's better to let the army help the people of Liangguang to clean up the wounded beasts on the mountain."
Zhu Yuanzhang especially recognized the last sentence, it is usually not good to send troops over there, and go over in the name of harvesting sugar cane.
When the people look at it, "Oh! Our Ming army is so strong, we can't rebel with others, we can't fight it at all.
Why can't you beat it? Isn't that helping to clean up the beasts? There was a burst of gunfire, and the beast fell far away.
"Your Majesty Shengming!" The lieutenant immediately praised.
The high-ranking ministers around watched and listened, and they despised this Zhu Yichang very much, this lick!
"The most holy thing about us is to move Xiaqiu Village outside Chaoyang Gate, Daming Dongliang!" Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and narrowed his eyes.
Ministers, including generals: "......"
Zhu Yuanzhang poured a sip of wine: "Yichang, tell us, after the sugarcane is squeezed with sugar, what can the remaining slag do?" ”
"Burning, you can't feed livestock, the cost of processing into feed is too high, it is suitable to burn and cook sugarcane, or ferment it with other fertilizers to fertilize sugarcane."
The chief knew what Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to ask, and broke off the other party's thoughts, but Han Han had said that bagasse was fermented to make alcohol, but it was too troublesome, and the key was industrial alcohol.
"Speaking of fire, can Yi Chang know if there is coal in the local area?" Zhu Yuanzhang regretted slightly, and had new expectations.
"Coal?" Li Chang was stunned, how did he know if there was a coal mine in Liangguang, why did the topic of today's chat come to this?
It started with eating mooncakes, and then sugar......
"Eat, have, all, slow, prick, hurt, um! Hey, hey, hey! There was a simple voice next to him, picking the crab meat for the child.
The chief turned his head to look, and when he saw the movements in Hanhan's hands and what he just said, he had a bottom in his heart.
"Your Majesty, there is coal. Xiongying's grandson eats neatly! The lieutenant replied and immediately changed the subject.
Everyone's eyes were all on the most precious child in Daming for a moment, the little guy ignored others, rubbed a lot of Sanhe oil on his face, and fed Hanhan with his little hands holding crab meat, and the two of them ate happily.
While picking the crab meat, Zhu Wentian processed the crab shell with eight pieces of crab, and then connected it with a toothpick.
On the table are samurai in armor, small people, other animals, poultry......
"Hanhan still makes such things?" Some people think it's good, but it's just made of one or that, and it seems ......
"We're smart! Able to weave crab baskets and chisel grinding discs. "The chief looks like he wants to correct the name of the village guard.
"Yes, yes, not stupid!" The official did not dare to continue.
"Eat, grandpa!" The little guy seemed to feel the gaze of everyone, and finally looked at his grandfather, grabbed a large piece of crab meat, dipped it in the triple oil, and handed it forward.
"Okay, let's come, hey! Yo! Delicious! Hey, hey, hey! ”
Zhu Yuanzhang came over and bent over, stretched his neck, opened his mouth, and ate the piece of meat into his mouth.
"Hey, hey......" The little guy was happy, and put his finger stained with Sanhe oil in his mouth and sucked it.
Zhu Wentian took a sip of beer, fed the little guy a sip of orange juice, and the two happily ate together.
"Where did you just go?" Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the good grandson again and came back to his senses.
"Heavy eight, there are coal mines in Guangdong and Guangxi." Queen Ma, who was able to show her face on this occasion, reminded.
"Yes, the coal mines, the sugarcane will be planted next year, and after the harvest, it will be processed locally into raw sugar, and the raw sugar will be transported back and then refined, which is not good to keep secret.
Now the local people have too much to do, so let's transfer the steam engine and rent their land to grow food crops.
They don't have to worry about the fields anymore, they are only responsible for harvesting sugar cane and processing raw sugar, making a lot of money and not getting tired.
When they have extra time, they raise pigs, poultry, and buffaloes! Buffaloes can work, but they can also kill and eat meat.
Oh! There is also milk, our technology for making milk is enough, and milk is the staple food in the grassland.
I heard that the milking equipment designed and manufactured in our village is very popular with the people there, because it is fast to make ghee and cheese, and it can leave something to make wine. ”
The more Zhu Yuanzhang talked, the happier he became, and he felt that no matter what problems he encountered, he could solve them.
Lieutenant: "......"
He felt a lot of pressure, from moon cakes to whether there are coal mines, from coal mines to buffalo breeding and utilization.
Not only the lieutenant chief, but the ministers are now a little scared, Your Majesty is different.
His Majesty mentioned one thing, not only to plant sugar cane and raise buffalo, but also to include how to plant and how to raise supplies.
Every decree begins with His Majesty, and it will be carried down with the means, including the question of sales in the future.
This is what His Majesty himself knows, if he doesn't know it very well, he asks a courtier like himself, who do he learn from?
Shouldn't there be a courtier who proposed to tell His Majesty to plant sugar cane and raise buffaloes, and then His Majesty thought it was okay to arrange it, and then the people at the bottom below would worry about the details!
"What do you think?" Zhu Yuanzhang didn't know the thoughts of the ministers, he needed someone to praise him.
"With Your Majesty here, it is really a blessing for the people of the Ming Dynasty. Buffalo breeding can help the people of Guangxi to plant terraces, and the grass people will come up with a specific breeding plan, which is different from cattle.
There is no need in Guangdong, there is a little mountainous area where sugarcane is grown, plus a few river alluvial plains, using machinery, there is no problem with three crops a year.
There is a deep-water area in the coastal area, which is a natural good wharf, which can be used as a transit and supply place for the Daming Sailors.
Since it has developed over there, there are relatively many plains in the southeast of Qiongzhou Prefecture, and there are also natural harbors.
It is best used as the frontier camp of the Daming Water Division, and crops in hot places can be planted there. ”
The lieutenant first praised Zhu Yuanzhang, and then talked about the follow-up deployment.
