Wei and Jin Cooks

Chapter 1338: seed

Wang Huifeng said: "This garden was deserted for two years after it was burned, and all the plum trees seemed to have been burned to death. But I didn't expect that after the flood three years ago, the plum trees in this plum garden sprouted new buds, and they were fully grown in just half a year." The branches bloomed in winter and spring that year, a garden of wintersweet and red plum blossoms.”

"Today, the plum garden has bloomed in winter for three consecutive years. His Majesty said that this is a blessing from God to the people. It should not be enclosed for self-reward. Except for the occasional banquet, it should be let go for the common people to enjoy together. "

Wang Huifeng looked at the traces of the fire on the broken wall, "His Majesty also said that keeping these broken walls will let the world remember that peace is hard-won, and alert those in power not to let down the people, and let the world fall into war again." Remind the world that peace should be the consensus."

Princess Langya and others were surprised and couldn't help but sigh: "Your Majesty is wise."

When Princess Langya returned home from the flower-viewing banquet, she couldn't help but said to her husband: "Although Jingwen is a man, he is still far behind His Majesty. Don't blame us for Jiangnan's defeat."

 Jingwen is the surname of King Langya. The couple had a good relationship and King Langya always called him by his surname in private.

King Langya:…

 He already knew that he was not as good as Zhao Hanzhang, but okay, why did he bring it up?

This time during the flower viewing banquet, Princess Langya donated ten pieces of brocade. Wang Huifeng sold the brocade on the spot, and the money earned was used to create a separate bill. This donation was mainly used for food, clothing, and spring plowing needs of Yushan Hall. agricultural tools, animal power, seeds, etc.

  Seeds include not only grain seeds and vegetable seeds, but also chicken, duck, goose, etc.

Yushantang is a place that takes in orphans, widows, and people in distress, mainly children who have lost their shelter. Like other people in China, they have the right to three years of compulsory education.

But there are still many children who have not reached this age, or who have already attended school for three years and cannot go further.

 The imperial court has tried its best to favor them with policies, but their lives are still difficult.

The imperial court stipulated that young men and women who have reached the age of sixteen must leave Yushantang. At that time, they will be allocated fields, seeds and some farm tools, and then settle down and settle down.

 If they want to live a good life in the future, they should take advantage of their time in Yushantang to learn more skills and accumulate more money.

 China is still mainly based on agriculture, so the skills learned and the money accumulated are naturally based on agriculture.

Zhao Hanzhang also knew this very well, so he sent Sinong Temple to Yushan Hall for guidance from time to time.

The Sinong Temple in Luoyang is responsible for the Yushan Hall in Luoyang, and the Sinong Temple in the Yamen is responsible for the Yushan Hall in various places. This is a nationwide order.

Children will learn from the officials of Sinong Temple more sophisticated methods of seed selection, seedling cultivation, fertilization, weeding and insect removal than ordinary farmers. In addition, they can also learn to repair farm tools and basic basics from the officials of Sinong Temple. Carpentry, and knowledge of animal husbandry.

 Children who are powerful can also learn some methods of controlling livestock diseases.

Sinong Temple received a batch of cotton seeds from Xiliang, and when mixed with the ones in their hands, it exceeded the number of imperial villages allocated to grow cotton. So after discussion, they decided to release some of the seeds for the common people to plant to promote cotton. It can also be expanded slowly.

Wang Huifeng received the news in advance, and she wanted to use the donation to purchase some cotton seeds and give them to Yushantang for planting. By the time next winter comes, Yushantang would have a batch of quilts and cotton-padded clothes.

There are some children in Yushan Hall who are only two or three years old. They cannot stand the cold and get cold when they get cold. In this era, cold is a disease that is difficult to treat.

As soon as Wang Huifeng opened his mouth, the officials of Sinong Temple agreed to set aside part of the cotton seeds for them, and asked thoughtfully: "General Manager Wang, would you like to buy some rice seeds cultivated by our Sinong Temple for Yushantang? The paddy fields on the eastern outskirts of Yushantang are very fertile and it is easy to divert water there. Our newly cultivated Luoyang East No. 5 has been planted for two years. The seeds selected are full and large, and they are all grown from the longest rice ears. Picked out.”

Wang Huifeng remained motionless, "The seeds from your Sinong Temple are more expensive than those on the market."

“This is the latest seed cultivated by our Sinong Temple. It is naturally a little more expensive, but if it is purchased from Yushantang, we can get it at a lower price.”

Wang Huifeng: "How much lower is it than what's on the market?" Sinong Temple: "...How about 10% lower than what's on the market?"

Wang Huifeng said: "Yushantang also has its own rice seeds. Although it may not be as high as Sinong Temple's, it is stable and will not have high or low prices or other problems."

The official quickly explained, "Manager Wang, this Luoyang East No. 5 is said to last for two years, but in fact it has been studied for five years. We, Shen Zhengqing, started cultivating it after he came to Luoyang to join His Majesty. By this year, it has been very stable and there will definitely be no seeds. Unstable situation.”

Wang Huifeng: "I have never heard Shen Ruhui recommend this seed in the court. The one that was most mentioned was a seed called Luoyang South No. 2."

"Oh, that seed is not suitable for Luoyang. It was cultivated for the rainy areas in Jiangnan and Jingchu. The mother seed came from Jingzhou. The seed is resistant to waterlogging and has a high plant height. Manager Wang, Xiaguan once used it when he was in trouble. I have been treated by Yushan Tang and stayed there for three months. I can’t trick anyone but Yushan Tang.”

Upon hearing this, Wang Huifeng looked him up and down, "Are you Jiang Leigong who was frightened into silence by Shi Le's army and couldn't even remember his own name for two months, but was admitted as an official by Fu Shangshu because he predicted several weather events?"

Jiang Sheng said aggrievedly: "It's a lower official." Why does everyone only remember the time when he was so frightened that he lost control and became speechless?

I don’t even know where he escaped from.

 He escaped from the prison camp at Shile Camp.

The prison camp is a good name given to it by outsiders. In fact, Shi Le's prison camp was a food warehouse. He was able to escape very well during the chaos, okay?

Even thinking about it now, he still couldn't help but shudder.

 Jiang Sheng said: "If you don't believe me..."

 “I believe you, I bought the seeds.” Wang Huifeng negotiated the price and purchase quantity with him.

 At this time, Shen Ruhui was also introducing to Zhao Hanzhang the rice and wheat seeds they selected this year.

  The seeds cultivated by Sinong Temple will not enter the market directly. This is to avoid unexpected situations in the seeds, which may cause a large-scale reduction in private production.

 Furthermore, people actually trust the seeds they leave more.

 In the past few years, if they had not had seeds, they would not have planted the seeds given by the court.

 In any case, during the Wei, Jin and Han Dynasties, when the imperial court had support for the seeds, they would take them back and eat them, and then plant the seeds they left.

 It is only in the past few years that many people have no food seeds, or even food, so they receive seeds from the court.

This actually made them develop a good habit of teaching, and they would tentatively sow the seeds distributed by the court.

The people's trust in the imperial court has increased a lot. This is also due to Zhao Hanzhang's unremitting efforts to have schools and government officials go to the countryside to promote various policies.

This year, the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development and Sinong Temple jointly compiled data. The number of acres planted with rice and wheat per capita has increased, while millet, which has always been at the top of the list, has declined significantly. So far, it only accounts for less than one-fifth of the cultivated land.
