Spring is coming and autumn is coming, and it will be August in the ninth year of Tiantian. Qian Suiyou and Liu Hemiao cultivated and planted Champa rice in the farmer's temple, and the yield has doubled. Even if the cultivation is average, it is better than the original Liu Hemiao. The rice seed yield is also higher.

It is a pity that the climate here in Fandu can only be planted for one season, and according to the cultivation experience this time, most places in Huachao may only be planted for one season, and only a few places with a particularly mild climate can be planted for two to three seasons.

This made Qian Suiyou very depressed. At the beginning, he spent so much effort to get it back, just wanting to grow it, and then the output doubled. As a result, the number of plantings was half less than expected. It is normal to be sad.

Therefore, work is a bit exhausting, one or two days is fine, but it has been like this for ten days, and it has affected the work, so the officials who learned about it can't bear it, so the memorial to impeach him was put aside within two days A table full of stones.

This caused Shi Min a headache, but it was not good for her to reprimand and talk immediately, so he privately sent Liu Hemiao, who worked with him, to comfort him. Good for two days.

It broke out again on the third day, and according to secret investigations, he probably heard some gossip, but in the end, Shi Min had no choice but to go out in person, and Wei Fu came to chat with him for an afternoon.

Although the number of sowing Champa rice is not as much as expected, the yield is good. In addition, the yield is not low and the cold-loving potatoes and the warm-loving, cold-resistant, and cold-resistant sweet potatoes can also be full. Eat enough.

It only needs to be promoted to the whole country on a large scale in the coming year, even if it can only be promoted to the provincial government, it will be of great benefit to the people who are not full. Will be scrambling to plant.

Shi Min believes that within five years at the latest, potatoes and sweet potatoes will become one of the most important crops planted by every family, and the appearance of potatoes and sweet potatoes will also have a certain impact on the eating habits of the Hua Dynasty people.

In addition to these, the peppers, tomatoes, and cucumbers introduced by Qian Suiyou are also rare fruits and vegetables. Shi Min likes them very much. Therefore, most of the newly cultivated fruits and vegetables this year, except those that must be reserved, are all sent to the palace. dining table.

Especially when it was the first time in so many years to eat the scrambled eggs with tomatoes that he made himself, Shi Min excitedly rubbed his eyes a few times, and he had to appreciate it for a long time before Bu Qianxue urged him to move his chopsticks.

She doesn't know how to stir-fry big vegetables, but she still knows some home-cooked dishes like scrambled eggs with tomatoes, but even if she can, she's a little rusty after so many years of not doing it, and finally wasted a portion of ingredients.

Bu Qianxue never thought that Shi Min could cook vegetables, let alone eat her fried vegetables, so when she saw the so-called scrambled eggs with tomatoes that Shi Min cooked in a decent color, she frowned. wrinkled.

Because her lessons learned from the past are there, and Shi Min also told her a lot of things in her previous life, but she never mentioned cooking. Thinking about it, her cooking skills are not very good.

Bu Qianxue also asked Shi Min, why this red round one has to be called a tomato, can't it be called a red round fruit?What a fitting name!And that cucumber is obviously green, why do you have to call it cucumber?

Shi Min only replied: "Because where, that's what I've called them since I was a child, and I'm not used to changing them to other names."

Bu Qianxue was speechless, thinking about it, it was indeed the case. If the oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar tea she had been calling since she was a child were changed to other names, she would be very uncomfortable.

Although the answer was not satisfactory, Bu Qianxue used this to open the door to a new world, and when she caught no one in private, she would ask where Shi Min was, and what she didn't know.

Shi Min spoke with great interest at the beginning, wishing he could say it all at once, but in the end he racked his brains to think about it, because she had already finished talking about the usual things.

After this incident, the modern life that seemed like a dream to her came alive again, and her memory really told her that those were not dreams, but the life she had lived.

It aroused her enthusiasm for research and development, and really wanted to develop everything in modern times, but the limitation of her own knowledge was a big problem. Coupled with the constraints of productivity and economic foundation in this era, she could only try her best.

As long as she can make people's lives more convenient during her reign, and if she can provide enough food, clothing and warmth, if she can, and improve the housing standard, then it should be very good.

The housing in Fandu and its surrounding areas is good, even if it is just ordinary people, there are two or three solid houses, but according to the letter written by local officials such as Xing Boen, Zhao Huanying, Ma Guojin, Heyang, etc., it is not always the case in the local area.

The living and transportation conditions in provincial capitals and county towns are definitely better, but there is still a certain gap compared with the complex cities, not to mention the surrounding area, it can only be said to be barely noticeable, but when it comes to towns and villages, especially in remote areas , it's a completely different story.

Families with good conditions have white walls and black tiles and several rooms, while poor ones have nothing to eat and their houses are bare, and a gust of strong wind can blow them down. In winter, they all rely on government relief or go to relatives' houses to eat and drink.

For those who are delicious and lazy, Shi Min does not look down on and will not give support in policy. Opportunities will only be given to those who are prepared and hardworking. She wants to let those who want to work hard and are willing to work hard, and are willing to work hard, to be able to improve through hard work Status and access to material affluence.

But this is easier said than done, especially in such a feudal era, but Shi Min is confident that as long as she lives long enough, it will be realized sooner or later.In case she can't achieve it, she can also formulate a basic policy that will not waver for many years so that the next generation will continue to work hard.

It is precisely because she has this idea and determination to punish corruption that she is very cautious whether it is opening a course to recruit scholars or recruiting talented people. Whenever there is any fraud incident, she must be strictly investigated and punished. Recruiting talented people is the first priority. Interviewed in person, after a limited period of trial, I am afraid that recruiting those with ulterior motives will become resistance to the reform of the New Deal.

Whether it is a new policy or a reform, it will not be effective immediately. It will take time to complete it, and it will take time to stand the test of practice. However, changes can be seen intuitively in crop planting, and the general planting cycle is short. will be over a year.

With these new crops introduced by Qian Suiyou, not only Shi Min is happy, but also the common people will be happy in a few years, because there are obviously more staple foods and dishes on the table than before.

Especially farmers, they can choose more crops, even if they can't sell them, they can eat enough for themselves, but there will be no day when the crops can't be sold if there is a leveling firm. The original intention of establishing Pingzhun Commercial Bank.

So even if the whole country has a good harvest, there is no need to worry about selling it. Either the Pingzhun Commercial Bank will stock up some of it, or sell it at a small profit to the Ministry of War, and then the soldiers will distribute it to the armies.

Under Shi Min's continuous efforts in recent years and the drastic reform of the military system, the governor's mansion of the nine districts, the city guards (guards) of the provinces, the long guards and the artillery battalion were newly established successively. Forbidden Army, Cao Bing, Post Bing, Ku Bing, etc., the standing troops are not 100 million, but there are 90 to [-].

Coupled with the fact that the navy has been in preparation for the past few years and will be formally established in the coming year at the latest, by then, it will really be close to 100 million.

The ships built by the shipbuilding department before Shi Yan were all given to the formally trained navy of the coastal governor's mansion, and the remaining few ships were fully utilized by her. They were listed in the early summer of this year. As long as someone is willing to form a team When exploring overseas, the ship will be given directly to the other party without buying, rent or interest, but you must bring back news, crop seeds or gold jewelry needed by the court.

As long as the people who go to sea can bring back things and news alive, Shi Min will personally meet them.

If the value of the news is precious enough, the imperial court will also give other rewards. The imperial court has the right of first refusal for the gold and jewelry they bring, and rewards for the new crops that are tribute are based on practicality.

It is equivalent to that as long as they form a team and have the courage to go to sea, they can get a valuable ship for free. As long as they can bring something back alive, they can achieve both wealth, fame and fortune.

Such a good thing like a pie in the sky is completely uninteresting to those who are prudent and not short of money, but it is a once-in-a-millennium opportunity for adventurous or poor people, so it took less than a month to make the list The few ships were claimed.

If it weren't for the fact that the government-funded exploration has too much financial pressure and there may not be any rewards, Shi Min would not have made such a bad move, but she also didn't want them to go and never return, so she specially transferred an excellent team from the Navy in advance. To train them, although most of those who dare to go to sea are familiar with water, there are still many differences between freshwater rivers and seas.

Therefore, training is also essential. Although many people feel that it is unnecessary, there is this clause when signing the contract, and everyone knows it, so they can only obey.

This kind of training lasted for nearly a month, and it was not until last month that Ma Jie, Minister of Rites, personally delivered an information collection record to each captain and sent them out of the dock. There are a total of eight ships, which will be divided into two groups according to the negotiated regulations. Walking along the coast, I don't know how many ships will come back in the end.

Exploring the sea could take one or two years at the earliest, seven or eight years or even ten years at the slowest time, and it was possible to go there and never return. There was no rush, and Shi Min could only pray for them in his heart.

Compared with the low price of eight ships and a little manpower to understand the world, it is a headache for her to support nearly a million troops and to be at war with Fang Laguo.

If 100 million people are all supported by taxes from the treasury, not to mention the financial pressure, the adjustment and transportation of grain is also a big project. In addition, there was a war with Fang La last year, and it has been fighting until now, forcing Shi Min to start working early Plan, think of another way.

Shi Min thought about it, discussed several times in private with Bu Qianxue, and after many court discussions and historical references, he finally came up with a way to farm, and asked the Military Secret Office to draw up a charter for farming, so that both The army is self-sufficient, and it can also increase revenue for the treasury, which kills two birds with one stone.

However, Shi Min felt that the previous farming policy could not be accepted in its entirety. First, the weather conditions in different places were different. Second, the final end of farming in history was not good. Third, the cabinet and other ministers also had opinions.

After all, once the army garrison land is implemented, they will definitely need to allocate land to them. In this way, many people's land will definitely be occupied. Even if they can get compensation from the court, they are unwilling. ?
