With the sound of 'buzzing ......', the rice transplanter driven by the small steam engine moved forward at the speed of a normal person walking in the paddy field.

One person is responsible for manipulating the equipment forward, one person puts a lump of rice seedlings in the back, and scoops water to pour it up, and the board behind the seedlings is sloped and easy to stagnate.

The wheels of the rice transplanter are small in the front and large in the back, and most of the external gears and hubs are hollow, so light and can grasp the ground at the same time.

The equipment can be inserted in six rows at a time, and there will be problems of missing seedlings, injured seedlings and multiple seedlings, which are proportional.

"Did you tell the people before you started?" Zhu Fan stared, this thing was smaller and more flexible than the one in Xiaqiu Village, because it had been updated.

The rice transplanter doesn't need to be too big, as long as it can replace people, and no one wants to bend over and step by step in the muddy paddy field to insert seedlings into the soil.

The chief of a nearby village replied, "Say! Everyone said that it was a big deal, and it was a big deal to make up for it yourself, as long as the plug was done, the rest was easy.

If you work less, you save effort, and if you save the energy to do other things, you can't eat in vain.

This year, when you plant properly, everyone knows that there is no hurry to plant seedlings, and when you finish plowing the other fields, we will go to the pit to plant sorghum.

You know! Plant sorghum first, and then plant beans after the sorghum grows for a while, and the sorghum helps the beans shade the sun. ”

"That...... Planting sorghum and beans is also fast, and the machine for transplanting rice has been changed to become a sorghum planter.

There are also two kinds of seeders, one that pushes like a wheel, and the other that plants seeds one at a time.

There is no need to dig a pit and put seeds and then bury them, and the newly ploughed land is the easiest to push, and the soil has been broken and raked flat. ”

This time it was Zhu Li who spoke, and there were many kinds of gadgets in the village, which could be rented and bought in nearby mansions such as Yingtianfu, Ningguo Mansion, Taiping Mansion, and Zhenjiang Mansion.

The rent of the wheel is five cents a day, and the pole is one penny, and those who are willing to use the pole to farm in the mountains can buy it for dozens of yuan, or they have to dig the pit with a pickaxe, throw the seeds, and cover the soil with their feet.

"There is a shortage of seedlings in that place, make up for it quickly, make up for it."

When he was talking, some people saw that the rice transplanter had leaked seedlings in the past, and shouted to go to replenish them, but it was not his family's land.

Many people don't work, staring at the bustle, things that they never dreamed of working fast, not one, dozens of them planting rice together.

I did it once yesterday, and I saw that all the ground was planted tonight, but last night I never rested, digging out the ashes, feeding some water, and feeding some coal, and I worked with the big lantern on, and the lamp was like big eyes, bright and bright.

"Go to work, go to work, don't look at it, delay your own affairs, His Royal Highness King Jin is kind enough to help us, we have to be sensible."

Wang Shitong, the magistrate of the county, shouted to the people watching the excitement and let them leave, even if they go home to make the yard, it is better than standing on the ground.

The people scattered one after another, and the people walked along the field where the seedlings were planted yesterday, and saw that there was one plant in the empty place, and one was taken away when there were two plants in one place.

Let's take a look at which plant is shallow, pick it up and see if it hurts, press it directly if it doesn't hurt, and press it down if it hurts.

When the rice transplanter walks, the people of their own land follow behind, and those who are not in turn mow the grass, ready to feed the pigs and rabbits, and chop up the chickens, ducks and geese to eat.

When the rice grows again, according to the sergeant's teaching, the ducks are driven into the rice fields, and the ducks eat weeds and insects on the rice, and do not eat rice.

Geese and chickens are not good, they eat, to take care of, if there are ducks, do not call geese close to the paddy field, even if the grass on the ridge does not need geese to deal with it, the duck solves it with its mouth.

But he said that if he wants to catch crabs and raise them, then he can't be with ducks, ducks eat crabs, how to raise crabs?

"Your Highness, I heard that some people say that crabs from other places are caught and raised in paddy fields?"

Wang Shitong probably thought of what the people thought and asked.

Zhu Li shook his head: "Don't raise it, trouble!" The crabs in Yuci County will be caught locally and made into drunk crabs when the time comes.

There are few rich people in a place, and they can't develop if they want to, everyone is poor, who will sell it?

Yi people don't like to eat, they need to run a long way to sell them, and the local crabs are estimated to be not easy to sell, hey~! ”

Zhu Wentian touched the lieutenant chief, and the lieutenant hurriedly took over: "Your Highness, there is still a crab to have, send it to the Huimin Pharmacy and crude medicine warehouse, there is a recipe."

Whether it is dried crab meat or drunk crab, as long as someone is sick and needs it, they can take medicine according to the prescription.

There are many people in Yingtianfu who use it, and some of them also eat it secretly, especially the drunken crab, which can't be put down, so it is eaten by the medical officers. ”

"They ate less, and most of what was left was sold." Zhu Fan pouted: "Seeing that the time is too long, when there is half a month left, they sell it to rich people, cheap, half cheaper than normal." ”

Other officials: "......"

"His Royal Highness King Qin, how is that judged?" Zhaomo Lu Yu is responsible for auditing or something, he doesn't look at the low grade, but his professional ability is strong!

"What is the sentence? They didn't give them a bonus, they filled out a list, and the hospital saw that there was no problem, and it passed.

The money from the sale was handed over, and part of it was used to subsidize them, and part of it was used to repair the pharmacy and add facilities such as silver needles.

They don't dare to be greedy and report to each other. But far away places are generally sold first, and then the order is issued, otherwise it will be too late. ”

Zhu Fan started to sell it, it was not sold privately, the price was transparent, who would dare to make false accounts? Not afraid of being reported by colleagues?

"I remember that the governor said that there are crabs near the salt pond, send someone to organize it, and tell the local officials to cooperate, harvest it together in autumn, and use it as medicinal herbs if they can't be sold."

Zhu Li turned out that he wanted to count on the crabs to make money, but found that he still needed to be isolated in the paddy fields, and the people were too busy, so where to find rich and noble people?

"But this year, the local drunken crab will be sent to Nanjing, let's go back for the New Year, taste it, how can it become rich here?"

……

"Hanhan, do you need a large number of businessmen to come?"

Before noon, it was hot, everyone went back to their tents to rest, ready to have lunch, and the chief found Hanhan to ask.

"There are no Jin merchants, or no Jin merchants who sell grain for salt, and if you want to get rich here, you can only wait for other places to demand resources.

There is a lot of coal in the local area, plus the salt ponds, now the coal does not matter, there are other places, and the ones in Henan Province are being transported to other places.

Salt, let alone make a lot of money, where so much salt is produced, the price is difficult to increase, unless there are political factors.

Anyway, in the future, no one in the Ming Dynasty will want to be a wealthy businessman, a wealthy businessman has no country, and as for the future, that is not what you and I need to consider. ”

Zhu Wentian didn't say whether other businessmen came over, but mentioned that businessmen were not allowed to be too rich and have an impact on the regime, and when the Ming money reached a certain amount, the businessmen could make more money.

It doesn't matter whether it's right or wrong, the position on which they stand is different, if it's really that fun, wouldn't it be better to lead the village to develop first? Then Zhu Yuanzhang will be worried, do you want to do him?
