Daming: I help my wife be the empress

Chapter 81

Auntie Zhu sat by the bed and looked at the laptop.

It turned out that she didn't know much about the text in front of her now, but she couldn't understand much of this article, and even didn't understand many of the words.

I just understand one thing, which is what Hao Guangming said, this Chujaponica super rice can produce nearly a thousand catties per mu.

Well, she wasn't shocked by this statistic.

Because she didn't know the grain yield per mu of Daming at all.

Without comparison, how can there be shock?
Pretty face blushed a little, and Auntie Zhu decided not to be ashamed to ask - besides, there is nothing shameful to ask her husband.

"Do you know how much grain we produce per mu in Daming?"

Hao Guangming smiled when he heard this question.

He had learned about the relevant data before because he liked to read through Ming's novels.

So he said: "According to the information I have found, farmers in the north mainly use wheat and millet, that is, millet, as their staple food. Whether it is spring wheat or autumn millet, the yield per mu in a normal year is one to two hundred catties.

That is to say, the annual yield of staple food is more than 300 catties per mu.Even if beans and other miscellaneous grains are added, it is estimated that it will not reach [-] catties.

The south is better. In some places, spring wheat and autumn rice can produce four to five hundred catties of staple food per mu a year.

A few places have learned how to double-crop rice, and can produce about [-] catties per mu a year.

The above data are all in a normal year, but now you are in the Little Ice Age, and even Lingnan has started to snow, which shows how cold the climate is.

Coupled with the continuous natural disasters and military disasters, in fact, the grain harvest in many places was either poor or completely absent. "

Aimee Zhu was silent for a while after listening.

She originally just wanted to know what the concept of super rice with a yield of [-] jin per mu was.

But after hearing the series of data Hao Guangming said, she wanted to cry inexplicably.

Compared with the farmers in Dahua who can grow super rice with a yield of a thousand catties per mu, the farmers in Ming Dynasty are too pitiful.

Even if the year is good, only five or six hundred catties of grain can be harvested after a whole year of hard work.

In case of natural disasters and man-made disasters, the harvest will be even poorer or worse.

As for Dahua Country, farmers with only one super rice can produce a thousand catties per mu, not to mention other miscellaneous grains such as sweet potatoes, corn, potatoes, soybeans...
Hao Guangming didn't know what Aimee Zhu was thinking of.

If he knew, he might hold back and deal another double blow to Aimee Zhu.

What is a thousand catties per mu?
What are so many miscellaneous grains?
In the modern Great China, there are no farmers who live purely on farming, okay?

Even the state no longer collects agricultural taxes, and even subsidizes farmers who cultivate the land.

Daming and Dahua are not in the same era at all, and they cannot be compared at all.

If you insist on comparing, then you are looking for abuse.

"Don't think too much." Hao Guangming patted Aimi Zhu on the shoulder, "Even if our seeds can't be grown in Daming, you can let the people grow sweet potatoes, corn, potatoes, pumpkins and so on.

Just like what you said to those soldiers tonight, as long as the world is peaceful and people are united, they will definitely be able to survive the famine. "

"Ok!"

Auntie Zhu looked into Hao Guangming's eyes and nodded heavily.

···
The next day.

After five o'clock in the morning, Auntie Zhu came to Daming's side.

At this time, the soldiers were already eating breakfast, and after eating, they broke out of camp and set off on their way.

When Aimee Zhu came, she looked at the ground turtle first, and found that the little guy was still able to run and move in the bottle. She was in a good mood for no reason.

The pot of aquatic irises had already been watered by Fei Zhen'e, but it looked a little wilted.

Fei Zhen'e noticed that Auntie Zhu was staring at the irises, and said, "Your Highness, this flower will wilt for a day or two after it is transplanted."

As for the temperature, it's not too cold.

After all, it has entered the fifth month of the lunar calendar, and even during the Little Ice Age, the climate has begun to warm up.

After breakfast, Aimee Zhu continued to walk with the soldiers as she had done the previous few days.

She found that today, without the supervision of the generals, the soldiers were all on their way with great vigor.

A few soldiers with a slack mentality will be urged or even glared at by other soldiers as soon as they slow down.

"Do you still want to watch a movie tonight? If you want to watch it, go quickly!"

"Whoever in the team slows down the marching speed, and does not reach seventy miles by night, don't blame me for not letting him go!"

"Hurry up, everyone!"

"···"

Seeing Auntie Zhu strenuously walking along with the team, Li Yan couldn't help laughing and said, "Your Highness, don't you understand? For the soldiers, watching a movie is better than eating the military rations of later generations when they are not hungry." It is more attractive. Your Highness can come up with such a way to motivate the soldiers to hurry, it is really admirable."

Auntie Zhu blushed with praise, and said, "This is all the son-in-law's idea."

Li Yan was not very surprised when he heard this, but said with a smile: "It seems that the son-in-law must be a great talent."

"Okay."

Auntie Zhu seemed humble, but actually she was a little proud.

She felt that Hao Guangming's knowledge and insight might not be considered a big deal in Da Hua, but if he got it from Da Ming, he would definitely be like a crouching dragon and a phoenix.

···
morning.

Hao Guangming, the Lord of Crouching Dragon in Aimee Zhu's mind, went out to do errands after getting a good night's sleep after breakfast.

He first went to Yangji brigade to check the construction progress of the building that was going to be used as a village supermarket.

Hiring a construction team composed of rural folks is a bit cheaper, but the construction speed is really slow.

Because as long as the farming season is busy, the folks who are part-time construction workers have to go back to do farm work.

Although there are all kinds of machinery for farming nowadays, there are fewer people who farm the land. The farmers who are still farming in the countryside often plant several fields by themselves. Even with all kinds of machinery, they will be busy for a long time.

It happened to be transplanting some time ago, no, half a month passed before the village supermarket laid the foundation.

However, all kinds of bricks, stones, and sand have almost been shipped in. Hao Guangming estimates that when the busy farming season passes, the construction speed should increase.

Once the two-story building is moved, it should be completed in two or three months.

Afterwards, Hao Guangming went to the "Xingming Pharmacy" in the town to have a look.

The pharmacy was renovated a week ago.

But because Yu Weiwei, Hao Guangming's five-color clerk, is still studying at the big pharmacy in the county town, this "Xingming Pharmacy" has not officially opened yet.

A lot of medicines have been put into the warehouse, many of which are prepared for Daming.

Hao Guangming knew very well that whether it was a pharmacy or a supermarket, it didn't matter whether it made money or not, the key was that it could help Aimee Zhu's career in Daming.

As long as Aimee Zhu can do well with Daming, he won't worry about money.

After roughly checking the warehouse of the pharmacy and the surveillance video of the pharmacy in recent days, Hao Guangming drove a small box of goods to the county seat.

When he arrived at the county seat, he parked his car in the parking lot of the railway station, and he boarded the train to the provincial capital according to schedule.

This time he was going to find Zeng Tianbao to do two things.

The first thing is to sell another piece of Ming Dynasty jade to Zeng Dafu.

The second is to borrow the contacts of the Zeng family, find experts who can make fake calligraphy and painting, and make the Dashun imperial decree needed for the red lady to cross Tongguan and other passes.

This matter may require him to be away for several days.

But he has already told Aimi Zhu.

In order to avoid unexpected situations, Aimee Zhu will bring Aimee Zhu to the team of red ladies these days - there is a carriage, so I am not afraid that Aimee Zhu will slow down the speed of the team.

···
At around three o'clock in the afternoon, Hao Guangming got into Zeng Tianbao's car besides the provincial capital train station.

"Have you had lunch?" Zeng Tianbao asked after starting the car.

"Eat, eat in the car."

Zeng Tianbao smiled and said: "Since you have had lunch, let's not be in a hurry for dinner. It will be two or three hours before dark. Would you like third brother to take you to relax?"

Hao Guangming asked: "Are you talking about being unrestrained and serious?"

Zeng Tianbao said with a smile: "There are serious ones and not serious ones, it's up to you to choose, third brother guarantees that you will have fun."

Hao Guangming also smiled and said, "Forget it, let's get down to business."

Hao Guangming called Zeng Tianbao before he came. Zeng Tianbao knew what he was going to do, so he said, "Then go to our main store first?"

"Row."

When they arrived at Zeng Dafu's main store, Zeng Tianbao took Hao Guangming directly to Yang Cha's office at Zeng Dafu's main store.

However, as a jewelry and antique appraiser, Yang Cha's office is a bit like a laboratory.

And here is not only Yang Cha, but also Zeng Dafu's boss, Zeng Tianbao's father, Zeng Guofu.

After exchanging pleasantries, Hao Guangming didn't hesitate, and took out the jade he was going to sell this time.

The first thing made Zeng Guofu and Yang Cha's eyes light up.
