Daming: I asked you to hang yourself, but I didn’t ask you to rebuild the Ming Dynasty

Song Yingxing stood beside the emperor and explained carefully...

Only then did Zhu Youjian know that the climate in Nanyang was suitable for growing sugar cane.

Although - the output is not as high as Guangdong and Guangxi...

However, it happens to be a substitute for corn stalks.

The maturity of this thing is exactly complementary to that of corn stalks!

After all, the two crops mature in different seasons.

Song Yingxing told Zhu Youjian that the harvesting time of corn stalks started at the end of June. At the end of July, it entered the peak harvest period, and by the end of August, it was all consumed.

Because of the long-term storage of corn stalks, too much juice will be lost.

Therefore, the best way is to crush it directly into puree during the harvest season.

After this, there will be a gap of two months.

Sugarcane can only be harvested in early winter (November).

Sugar cane is shelf-stable and can be used until early summer next year if stored properly.

As for the sugar beet crushing the emperor told him...

In the Central Plains, sugar beets can be planted after the wheat harvest.

However, this year's planting has missed the season, and there is no preparation at all for breeding.

He has signed a contract for [-] acres of land, which he plans to use after this year's wheat harvest to grow sugar beets and cultivate improved varieties.

If all goes well, we should be able to see large-scale planting of sugar beet within about five years...

Amid the shouts of long live the crowd, they turned back to the east.

Zhang Yan's guess was correct.

Zhu Youjian left the palace this time to inspect the governance situation this year.

He left the city from the south gate of Handu and marched along the Han River on the west side of Handu.

Zhu Youjian raided various workshops and checked them carefully.

In this way, we came to the northernmost part of Handu.

Zhu Youjian headed east along Danshui and inspected the private workshops established here.

After that, they turned south and headed towards the villages that were allocated farmland.

At this time, Zhu Youjian had already walked along the outside of Handu City and was about to make a circle.

……

Huang En Village.

This village at the foot of Xingshan Mountain was originally the land of the Peng family.

After Zhu You checked the Peng family's acres of land, he distributed it to the refugees.

Because it is located at the foot of Xingshan Mountain, it has a mountain to rely on.

Xingshan Mountain is covered with large bluestones. In addition to being used as a raw material for cement, it can also be used to make millstones, stone mills and other items.

After earning enough money to start a business on the construction site, the resourceful villagers immediately returned to their hometowns to start industries.

Today, Huang'en Village has three carving workshops that make millstones and other items.

Employed refugees, more than 200 people.

As for three-story high-rise buildings, more than a dozen have been built!

The walls of these high-rise buildings facing the official road are painted with slogans.

On the white rectangular background painted with lime, the official script square characters written in red paint attract the eye:

"The Emperor of Heaven decrees: The legal property of the people is sacred and inviolable!

Huangen Village Announcement. "

"The Emperor of Heaven has issued an edict: It is everyone's responsibility to protect our home and country!"

Huangen Village Announcement. "

"The Emperor of Heaven decrees: The Land Law is the most favorable policy to protect all people!

The people of Huangen Village must support it from generation to generation!

Huangen Village Announcement. "

"The Emperor of Heaven has issued an edict: All water and land transportation facilities benefit every citizen, and it is the responsibility of all people to protect national facilities!

Your Majesty will be rewarded for picking up lawbreakers!

Huangen Village Announcement. "

"The Emperor of Heaven decrees: People have unlimited rights to self-defense in privately owned legal land and houses. This decree is sacred and cannot be violated lightly, and it cannot be changed forever!

Hooligans, bandits, unjust officials... oppress the people and kill without guilt!

Huangen Village Announcement. "

"The Emperor of Heaven issued an edict: The agricultural tax shall be set at thirty to one tax forever, and shall be calculated based on the price of grain collected in the Taicang granary.

The collection standards are divided into Jiangnan and Jiangbei, and the average grain production value of water and dry fields, and the harvest amount per mu will be announced uniformly before collection!

Chongzhen's order in the 17th year of his reign: Conquest without warning is a crime and everyone can resist it!

Those who fight against illegal donations are innocent and I will pardon them!

Huangen Village Announcement. "

"The Emperor of Heaven decreed: The commercial tax rate is one tax for every ten dollars of gross profit!"

Registration is the most advantageous tool for every workshop owner to protect their rights!

Huangen Village Announcement. "

……

Slogans are painted on brand new houses.

Although there are not many high-rise buildings, they account for less than one-tenth of the total in the new villages that are dotted with tile-roofed houses.

However, today's new refugee village is completely different.

Zhu Youjian personally led all the people-benefiting policies of the New Ming Dynasty and implemented them with force.

The former refugees now live and work in peace and contentment.

Even ordinary people who don't think much are willing to work hard to survive on the construction site.

They all built stone houses, and most of them even got a wife...

In early summer, few thatched houses can still be seen.

As the saying goes, rely on the mountain to eat the mountain.

Even if the men in the village do not earn a living for themselves, they all work on the construction site.

The women in the village worked together to dig out large bluestones. Even large stone sculptures such as millstones, which were too heavy, the women did not have the strength to carve.

However, door piers, pillar capitals, statues of gods used by every household, and mortars for pounding garlic...

Women can.

Although the price of these small items is not high, it is still not a problem for a family to eat and drink.

Men can make a lot of money, but women can make more money outside the home...

You can save all the money you get from the construction site.

The people in the village can be said to have all become rich.

Anyone who saw it at first sight would not believe that this was a refugee who was still struggling on the line of life and death ten months ago.

This is a prosperous era.

After nearly 20 years of disaster, the new Ming Dynasty has a stable environment and is booming...

……

Thousands of troops marched, the sound of horse hooves thundering.

It shocked Huangen Village.

Because the capital of the Han Dynasty was built in a mountainous area, the city gates were not squarely opened in the city walls.

The city gates in Handu were opened along the valley.

The Chaoyang Gate in the east is not far from Xingshan.

Standing on the top of Xingshan Mountain, you can see the Zhulian Mountain Song Great Wall built by Yue Fei, Wang Jian and others.

(It still exists today. There are many Great Wall ruins around Nanyang, and there are even remains of the Chu Great Wall.)

Handu New City stands on the mountains behind Xingshan Mountain.

You can even clearly see the huge half-crown, the magnificent carvings that carry the capital.

(Bigui City is one of the wonders of the ancient city of Beijing. The front half is outside the Dongbian Gate, and the second half is outside the West Gate. It means "Bigui Tuofu City". Unfortunately, it has been destroyed...)

The official road runs through the south side of Xingshan Mountain and is less than a mile away from Huangen Village.

This large army coming from the north immediately made this village, which had been established less than a year, become nervous.

Li Zheng, Zhao Quanyou, was cleaning the door of his house.

As an official of the ninth grade, Zhao Quanyou has withdrawn from the military and became an official.

He is responsible for taking the young people from the village to work on the construction site.

Even though I have changed my nationality...

However, the money given by the emperor was not much.
