The texture of the pancake fruit is much stronger than that of the ganba cake, and the soup is naturally better than the boiled water.

Zhu Li finished eating a set of pancakes and touched his stomach: "Do you think the local wheat has been harvested?" ”

"Your Highness, the local wheat has just been planted for a month, and it will not be harvested until the day of normal rice harvest." The lieutenant shook his head.

"Not winter wheat?" Zhu Fan took over.

"Winter wheat cannot be grown in Lou Fu Town, the climate does not allow it, and when it comes to harvest, that is, at this moment, it always rains.

I had to plant spring wheat, and in the summer I planted it on my head, and the growing cycle was longer than elsewhere, and the arable land was scattered, all hills, or very high mountains.

That bit of plain can be regarded as nothing, it is okay to build a house, and the goods from the upstream and downstream are transported back and forth, and a house is built by the Fenshui River to provide haste and rest.

Most of the people should live in caves at the moment, and it is really not suitable to build a good house, and it is most suitable to dig on the spot on the mountain. ”

The lieutenant chief transferred the information he heard from Han Han to the four highnesses, and he also thought it was incredible, Quyang County and Taiyuan County were not far from Loufu Town, and the result was so much worse.

"Let's go to the place! It is no wonder that the county was withdrawn from the town. Zhu Di looked empathetic.

He remembered the situation in Fujian, where there were many mountains and few lands, and the people were never hungry, and there were always people who took risks in history.

The fleet arrived in Loufu Town in the evening, and when they entered, the first thing they saw was the surrounding mountains, and the weather suddenly became muggy.

Raise your binoculars and look, there are people with farm tools running to the terraced fields on the mountain to release water.

Zhu Li sighed: "Let's understand why the local people don't plant winter wheat, terraces?" There is no precipitation in the winter, and there is no spring either, so people need to carry the water.

Planted in the summer, it happened to rain, just put water, it looked like it had rained today, and the ground on the shore was muddy.

This place, thanks to bringing you here, otherwise the local people would not have been able to think of a good way.

That's a sergeant working with someone? What are they doing? Seed...... Tree? Korean pine? ”

Everyone looks, but they can't see it, it's too far away, and they can only see the chosen place in the mountains and so on.

"Elm, dirt, catch, water, block, well! Hey, hey, hey, hey......"

Zhu Wentian guessed what tree to plant, and gestured there.

"Or is it easy to be smart, I know that it is waterproof soil erosion, right, hold on to the soil, elm?" The lieutenant understood.

Others then understood that there needed to be trees on the terraces, and the locations they chose were all relatively bald.

The fastest growing is bamboo, which is clearly not suitable here.

The second is willow, and even more wrong, the willow species lack water on the hillside.

Only the elm tree grows fast and can grow normally in this environment, so it is used to stabilize the soil and protect the terraces below.

"Yes, the elm tree is good, the bark is used as a binder, mosquito coils and other incense should be used, and if you put honey, the honey is not enough. Elms love bugs, right? ”

Zhu Fan thought of the use of the elm tree, picking the bark of the old branches in the spring, it does not affect the growth of the elm tree, and it can still be eaten when it is hungry, but the more you eat, the more hungry you are, scraping the intestines, like the cream of herbs and the ash at the bottom of the pot.

The little girl Ling'er took over: "There is a cholelum mine in Taiyuan Mansion, and if it is purified and mixed with lime water, it is alkaline copper sulfate."

In addition, there is ferrous sulfate heptahydrate, called alum, which is used to dry distill sulfuric acid, and reacts with copper oxide to become bile alum.

And the local area is not as good as Dingliao Duwei, where the elm trees are prone to disease and insects, and there are few here.

However, there is no iron mine in Loufu Town, and it needs to be transferred from other places, which is relatively easy, and it is not out of Taiyuan Mansion. ”

"It seems that we have to set up a factory in Taiyuan Province to produce basic copper sulfate, and by the way, other pesticides and fertilizers will be made.

The dredging should be desilted, and the excess silt should be dried to fertilize the field.

The mountain in front of you, looking at the soil is good, humus mountain skin soil, there is a coniferous forest over there, there are pine mushrooms, right? ”

Zhu Li considered building a factory, smelting and farming, and then looked at what was needed for breeding.

The key lies in the PH test paper, look at the pH of the soil, so that you can know what to plant.

I don't know how to use other means to adjust the pH, and the adjusted crop yield is high according to the climate.

The front team had already set up camp, and the people lived at the bottom of the hill, some distance from the hillside, to see that the houses were new.

There is grass on the walls, and there are herringbone beams on them, and there is grass on the roof, which looks like a transitional house, which consumes manpower.

However, there is an impact plain by the river, the total amount of water, the main stream of Fenshui, plus other rivers, in summer it rains a lot, the water level rises, there are many mountains around, and the water flows to low-lying locations.

Once the water is issued, there is a good land use, which is similar to Shijiu Lake, the difference is that the town of Loufu is quickly dry after the water is issued.

"Why is there still a concrete floor?" When they went to the tent, they found that the tents were all pitched on a flat concrete floor.

The fifth Zhu Hu has a question mark in his head, Yangqu County, the seat of Taiyuan Mansion, didn't see it, and Taiyuan County, where Jinci Town is located, didn't see it, who burned the cement in this broken place?

Zhu Di guessed and answered his younger brother's question: "It seems that the sergeants stationed in the village are powerful, and there is a coal mine here?" ”

"Your Royal Highness, there are some, but they are not marked out, and they need to drill wells, and there are no open-pit mines in the area where Jingle County belongs, and they need to be drilled, and there are open-pit coal mines in Ningwuguan further up.

Other stones are available in three locations, and the open-pit iron mine in Loufu Town is good, and it is particularly convenient to use bad ore to directly mix limestone to burn cement.

The people are tired, they need to grind the powder first, and then burn it, burn it well, and rub it on the ground with water, and the ground should be paved with stones and sand first, a big project! ”

The lieutenant took out the map from the box dragged by the villager next to him, which marked the approximate location of coal mines and non-coal mines.

Among them, the open-pit mine in Ningwuguan is the most obvious, and the open-pit iron mine in Loufu Town is circled with a red circle.

"Captain, take advantage of the light wind after the rain, release the hot air balloon, let's go up to take pictures, wash and draw the map, we need contour lines, we must take the equipment to go up."

One of Zhu Wentian's friends wanted to take pictures, there were too many mountains here, and he needed to know the situation at various locations, especially the source and middle transition of the river.

"Tomorrow, fly to the sky at night and watch the stars? The land by the river is planted with soybeans, mung beans, vegetables, and some sorghum, but it is not afraid of water, and the loss is small. ”

Li Chang glared at the young man, what are you anxious about? You just want to play hot air ballooning, it's windy tomorrow morning.

Some of the team went to the mountains to look for wild fruits, some cut weeds, and then asked for wheat bran from locals.

The animals will arrive after a while, they have to be prepared, the hot water is boiled, and when it is boiled, it is warmed, and the horse can drink more, especially the wheat bran in the water, which the horse likes the most.

The fruit is sugary and can replenish the body sugar of horses and mules. Plus salt for electrolyte replenishment.

The steam engine generates electricity, the lights are up, the people on the mountain are going down, and the last point is done, it's time to rest.

The people of the village here dragged their tired bodies to look at the team that came over, bowing one by one, and someone said in advance, don't kneel, for fear that you won't be able to get up after kneeling.

"Who's in charge here? Answer closely! ”

The steward of the Jin Palace's mansion shouted loudly, come a sergeant, or a lieutenant chief.
