Plot It's Not About Me [Quick Transmigration]

Just like what Lu Xinglin said, every few days, he would go to several Huangzhuangs and wander around in various greenhouses.

By the time the first snow falls in winter, all these sweet potatoes have been transplanted and planted. These sweet potatoes not only live well, but also grow gratifyingly.

It is estimated that there will be a wave of harvest at the beginning of spring next year, and it will be just in time for a new round of seedling planting.

As for the cotton, the seeds are easy to preserve, so there is no such trouble.

Moreover, at this time, there are many skilled tailors and embroiderers. It’s just a padded jacket. You don’t need to teach them. You just need to tell them, and you can make all kinds of padded jackets.

Although the cotton padded clothes are thick and bulky, they are really warm. The most important thing is to make a quilt, whether it is used for bedding or used as a cover, it is more comfortable and warmer than those made of animal skins and other materials.

Shangjing is located in the north, so it is a little cold in winter. In the past, wealthy families had to light braziers all night in winter to keep out the cold.

During the whole time, Lu Xinglin followed Twelve's hands to promote the kang, and the floor heating, after using it in the Huangzhuang greenhouse, the clever craftsmen naturally thought of laying it in the house.

At that time, there were no bricks, and houses were either made of stone or wood. It was relatively easy to renovate, and adding a floor of floor heating was no problem.

Anyway, before the beginning of winter, almost every household in the whole of Shangjing was busy with renovation.

Those who have money will lay floor heating, and those who have no money will build a kang. No matter what, they have lived a much more comfortable winter than before.

In order to promote the kang, Lu Xinglin also asked Li Qizai's father in Shangjing to recruit many farmers who were at home during the slack, teach them how to cook the kang for free, and then encouraged them to go to various villages to pick up jobs to make money.

Most of these farmers are looking for some work to do during the slack season. Now that they can learn such a craft for free, they are naturally very happy.

They don't need anyone to encourage them at all, they just join forces in twos and threes, and travel around the kang together to make money.

One autumn and early winter, in just two or three months, Kang has become popular in the north.

Almost all households have heated kangs in their homes. Even those who really have no money, they try their best to see people's dishes, and then go home and try to make them by themselves.

I can't help it, it's cold in winter, people used to freeze to death, now with a heated kang, at most, firewood is wasted, but it's better than freezing to death.

Knowing that this heated kang was first made by Mr. Ji's family in Shangjing, and Mr. Ji's young man cared about them, taught everyone how to make heated kangs for free on Zhuangzi, and let them come out to take over the heated kangs to make money to support their families , everyone is very grateful.

Before Sweet Potato and Cotton had formal interviews, Lu Xinglin was the first to win people's hearts with this kang.

In the spring of the second year, Emperor Zhao began to promote sweet potatoes and cotton.

When sweet potatoes were first popularized, many people did not believe them. After all, the yield of five thousand catties per mu was a fantasy for these farmers.

But cotton is better, that is, many people know Baidiezi. In their opinion, the seeds are given for free anyway, and only a small piece of land is planted. Change some money.

However, these farmers are still only willing to plant a small piece of land behind their own yards or in the vegetable garden. They are still unwilling to occupy their good land for growing food.

Because those lands are the lifeblood of farmers and their reliance for a year's life, it is absolutely impossible to take risks.

The promotion did not go well, and Emperor Zhao was naturally very annoyed.

He thinks he is a wise king, and now he is going to do such a great thing to benefit the country and the people, but these foolish people are doing the opposite one by one, so how can he not be angry.

Fortunately, the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty were not put on display, so Emperor Zhao quickly came up with a good idea.

So Emperor Zhao's decree that if farmers open up wasteland to plant sweet potatoes and cotton this year, the new land will be tax-free for three years spread throughout the Zhao Dynasty in the shortest possible time.

Although the taxation of the Zhao Dynasty was lighter than that of the previous dynasty, it was still a very heavy burden for the people.

Almost half of the food grown in a year of hard work has to be handed over, and the rest can only barely meet the family's rations. If there is any natural or man-made disaster, it will be even more difficult to survive.

Now when they heard that the newly reclaimed land can be exempted from tax for three years if they grow new crops, everyone immediately became excited.

Not paying taxes for three years means that they have made a net profit in the past three years. No matter how bad the new grain seeds are, they are grain and edible.

Not to mention five thousand catties for a piece of land, even if it is only five hundred catties or two hundred catties, they can earn a little more food for the family without paying taxes. How could they not want to.

In this way, the promotion of sweet potatoes and cotton became smooth.

However, the seeds are limited, so there are not so many distributed to the common people.

Fortunately, such a crop was planted in a greenhouse in winter, and there were not many people in Zhao Dynasty, and those farther away could not take care of that much, but people around Shangjing could plant an acre of land.

The planting method of raising sweet potato seedlings and then cutting them down has never appeared in Zhao Dynasty before, so many people who have received seedlings and learned new food planting methods have no confidence.

Lu Xinglin didn't care if they were confident or not. In order to ensure the smooth progress of the first promotion of sweet potatoes, he took time to stand by for at least an hour for the distributed seedlings.

With his blessing, these sweet potato seedlings would have absolutely no problem surviving, among other things.

Where is the yield of sweet potatoes? As long as they can survive, even if it is a newly reclaimed wasteland, not to mention five thousand catties per mu, but half of it will be there.

As long as they taste the benefits, these people will naturally rush to plant them in the future.

After letting go of sweet potatoes and cotton, Lu Xinglin began to promote new types of farm tools.

Many of these farm tools have been produced before, and some of them have already been promoted by the Ministry of Industry.

But these are small pieces, Lu Xinglin wants to make them big.

The so-called large equipment refers to large equipment that is enough for one village, such as large waterwheels, mills, etc.

There is no need for every household to have these things, it's too wasteful, and ordinary people don't have that much money, but if a village pools money to build one, they can still pay for it.

And these things are useful to them, not a waste of money, these people will naturally be willing to do so.

Speaking of mills, we have to mention tofu here.

Since the spread of tofu, it has won the love of many people. After all, soy products are still good for the human body, and there are many ways to make it, and the taste is also very good.

If it were someone else, they would definitely use this recipe to make money.

But Lu Xinglin is different, he has a lot of prescriptions in his hand, even if he wants to make money, he will not lack this one.

What's more, how much money you can make selling tofu for a year is not as expensive as he casually sells a glass mirror.

So he directly announced Fangzi. Although he didn't spread the free teaching everywhere like Huokang did, Lu Xinglin also instructed the people in Zhuangzi to publicize it.

There are quite a few people who know how to grind tofu in Beijing now, and you can meet people who sell tofu with their burdens in the streets and alleys every day.

As winter came, Lu Xinglin returned to the hot spring village.

This winter, he felt much more relaxed. He read books, played the piano, or drew a picture every day when he had nothing to do. When he got hungry, he asked the small kitchen to make him some fresh food.

Because he was tired of eating meat oil, Lu Xinglin set up an oil pressing workshop in autumn.

The oil mill is on his own village, and the crops are limited at this time, so all the soybean oil is squeezed. After all, peanuts, rapeseeds and the like have not yet appeared.

Lu Xinglin's oil-pressing workshop is not big, and the output is limited every year, basically for his own use, and sometimes he will take care of his relatives.

For example, the oil used by the Lu family and the Yao family is bought from the workshop.

In the past few days, Lu Xinglin suddenly became greedy for small cakes, so he built an oven in the small kitchen.

As expected, Guo Neng was trained by Yuxu. Even though the conditions were poor, he still made soft honey cakes.

Considering that this cake is suitable for elderly people, Lu Xinglin asked Guo Neng to bake some more. In addition to honey, he also made milky, fruity and other flavors.

These were packed into food boxes by him, and Zhuo Yu sent them to Ji's and Lu's houses, and even the Yao's house did not miss them.

As a result, Ji Tao ran over the next day.

Naturally, he came here for the little cakes. Besides eating by himself, he also brought a lot when he left, ready to send them to Han Wuniang.

This guy is sincerely kind to his fiancée, and he never forgets Han Wuniang if he has any good things.

It's also fortunate that Mrs. Lu is not the kind of mother-in-law who likes to be jealous of her daughter-in-law, otherwise Han Wuniang's life will definitely not be easy after she enters the door if she changes to another mother-in-law.

After dismissing Ji Tao, Lu Xinglin continued to live in Zhuangzi until the Chinese New Year.

In the new year, Lu Xinglin would naturally still go to the palace banquet, but this time he did not enter the palace as the young man of the Ji family, but as Marquis Huai Enhou.

Today's Huai Enhou is a big celebrity in front of Emperor Zhao. Although he has no control and only has one position, the sweet potatoes, cotton and a series of improved farm tools alone are enough to make everyone look at him differently.

Not to mention that no matter whether it is Emperor Zhao or the other princes, they are very friendly to him. No matter who inherits the throne in the future, he will not be affected.

Therefore, Lu Xinglin's palace banquet this year is more popular than last year.

More people came to him for a drink than in previous years. These people were no longer limited to the younger generation. Many of them were in power, and many of them were of the same generation as Ji Huan or even Grandpa Ji.

But these people said they came to drink, but in fact they came here to make friends, no one dared to really drink.

After all, Lu Xinglin was famous for his frail health throughout the entire capital, and they couldn't bear it if something happened to them because of drinking.
