Chapter 1118: Life Is Better than People's True Wishes

During the heavy rain, people who grow grain and vegetables soaked plant ash, and waited for the sun to come out after the rain, and then sprayed it on the crops to kill insects.

Especially cucumbers, honey bugs will grow after the sun comes out after the rain.

Sorghum has sticky insects. After harvesting wheat and planting sorghum, a lot of grass has been cut and placed in the furrows.

Where there are sticky insects, noctuids will run to the grass to lay eggs.

After they lay eggs, collect the grass and burn it into ash.

Now they also use plant ash water to brush the sorghum leaves, and they look like corn.

Nowadays, people in Jingzhao Prefecture only grow winter wheat, and don't wait to rotate to plant spring wheat.

Winter wheat has a long growth cycle, wheat contains more starch, and it tastes better than spring wheat.

Wait for the indica rice planted by Lijiazhuangzi in Tongzhou and other places this year to mature again, leave the seeds, and open paddy fields and plant indica rice after the winter wheat is harvested next year.

In the future, it will be one crop of winter wheat after another crop of indica rice to make up for the soil fertilizer.

After harvesting indica rice, we will keep the land for a month, and then plant winter wheat.

We have rice and noodles.

We can plant vegetables on other lands, and build greenhouses at the same time.

Of course, there is no need to spray wood ash water on the bean land, because bean worms are raised in it.

"It will be decided what to plant in the future, so it is worry-free."

The big pool is soaked with wood ash water and covered with a protective lid. Everyone rests and chats under the shed outside.

"Determined? Not necessarily. It depends on Mr. Li. When Mr. Li gets good vegetables, he will adjust the varieties and time of planting."

Others hold opposing views. They plant vegetables at different times and varieties.

In the past, they would hesitate when planting. After harvesting one crop of vegetables, they would plant another one.

Now they do what the newspaper says. Some of them can grow for another half a month, but they stop planting early to give time for other vegetables.

The land that needs to build greenhouses is planted in another situation, which just fits the planting period when crops such as cucumbers and eggplants can be harvested in winter.

If they plant later, cucumbers can be sold until March.

The newspaper lists a table for everyone to choose.

"Once life started to get better, I found that it was getting better and better. Originally, my family was poor, we couldn't save anything, and we were busy all day, but now it has changed."

"Li Dongzhu's tools save us time, and we don't have to work for the government for 20 days for nothing."

"With a large water tank and more jars, we can store sauerkraut and pickled vegetables, so we can have more vegetables to eat in winter, and we can also make dried vegetables."

"Li Dongzhu helped to save two months, and our lives have improved several times."

As everyone chatted, they smiled more and more, and the topic changed from working to praising Li Yi.

At the beginning, we were poor and had no tanks, so we couldn't make sauerkraut and pickled vegetables, especially sauerkraut.

Most of the time, we soaked in the fields and had no time to pick other things to sell to Li's farm, even those who dried vegetables were not available.

With a little money, we bought jars and jars, and the quality of life in winter was directly improved. We didn't have to farm ourselves and borrow food from others.

Wearing new clothes and using new utensils, we slowly paid back the loan provided by Li's farm.

The money he paid back was the same as if he had bought it by himself, but he could wear it in advance.

"There is still a war at the border. We hope that fewer of our people will die and more space will be occupied. I heard that it is best to raise cattle and sheep there."

"Cattle and sheep are good, but they are far away. How much grass do sheep need to eat when transported from there? The price is still high, not as good as the chickens, ducks and pigs in front of us."

"The price of pork can be cheaper this year. Manager Liang and his people have set up a large breeding farm, and people from various states in the north help to raise them."

"We can drive the sheep from the farthest place a hundred miles away, and continue to drive the sheep from another place over. In this way, won't we have more mutton to eat?"

"Ask the court if it is short of money. I am willing to donate fifty coins to help the soldiers at the border buy things."

"Yes, wait until the rain stops and ask."

"Put on a straw raincoat and a bamboo hat, ask now, I will donate one hundred coins."

The villagers talked, dressed up, talked to each other, and all the villagers were willing to donate, and sent representatives to the county government to ask.

The people in the government were confused. Is there anyone willing to donate money to help fight the war?

It seemed that no one except Li's manor was in charge of the army.

The government didn't know how to deal with it, so they told the county magistrate. The county magistrate wrote a letter to Chang'an in surprise and sent someone to deliver it on horseback in the rain.

The horse went through the post station channel, and before dark, the documents of this county arrived.

Jingzhao Yin was in charge. Jingzhao Yin was Yuan Qianyao, who had just been prime minister for a short time and was driven out.

He couldn't make a decision either, so he had to find the political hall and explain the situation.

"Yes, or no?" Bi Gou couldn't make up his mind.

Song Jing thought about it and said, "We should take it. If we don't take it, it will chill the people's hearts."

Su Yan said, "What's the use of that little money? Who should be in charge of it? Should it be in the Ministry of Revenue or the Ministry of War?"

Bi Gou found a table and sat down, unfolded the paper and wrote a letter: The people are worried about the hardships at the border, and they raise money for the government. One group has the whole village, and no household is left out of the hundreds of neighbors. Should I accept the gift of pulp pot? Or refuse to keep the charcoal pot? The court is finally difficult to decide, and the troubles are asked to the owner.

"Okay, send Li's farm to Xiao Yi." Bi Gou put the letter in an envelope and called someone to send it away.

Song Jing shook his head helplessly, and Su Yan smiled and nodded.

When the letter was delivered, Li Yi was making twice-cooked pork, doing it himself, and Princess Yongmu was watching beside him, wanting to learn.

Princess Yongmu loves meat, especially pork belly.

It was raining today, and it was a bit damp. Li Yi was going to add some peppers and green garlic to stir-fry the pork belly.

He didn't have green peppers and red peppers, so he put carrots to add color.

Everything else was there, including bean paste, not the soybean bean paste, the kind of fermented black beans, but the broad bean paste.

Princess Yongmu got the letter and read it over: "Li Lang, Bi Zaifu said that all the people in the village are willing to donate money to the soldiers at the border, no one is missing.

I asked if it should be collected as slurry for food pots, or should the people be told to keep it to buy firewood or something to cook with? The political hall is no longer available. "

Li Yi is cutting meat, and the green garlic next to it has been cut. After cutting, he will stir-fry chili pepper and Sichuan peppercorns.

After hearing what Princess Yongmu said, Li Yi frowned. He was also considering whether to accept the money donated by the people.

"Tell me and accept it, and then..."

"Li Lang, Bi Zaifu wrote about the people's worries about the border and the hardships, raising money and the government..." Princess Yongmu read out the original text.

"When you are free, write: The people are well fed and clothed, and the soldiers guard the borders. The people are sincere in helping each other, and the soldiers are willing to stand side by side. Ten coins should be the limit, and half a foot is not allowed to be wide. But when buying baggage and sending it away, it should be advertised."

Li Yi kept moving his hands and gave a reply.

Princess Yongmu narrowed her eyes with a smile and hurriedly wrote it, otherwise she would forget it later.

The reply arrived at the political hall a quarter of an hour later. Bi Gou took it and read it, then handed it to Song Jing. UU Reading www.uukanshu.netｔ

"Xiao Yi said that a family can donate up to ten yuan, and no more will do. At the same time, when sending things over, tell the soldiers at the border that the donations are from the common people."

"I guess he will also write it in the newspaper. The wealthy people in Jingzhao Mansion donated enthusiastically, and even if they had one or two cents, they could raise a lot."

Song Jing said and handed the letter to Su Ting who was waiting there.

Su Ting scanned it once, threw the letter aside, and suddenly picked it up again: "I'll keep the letter."

"A letter to you... No, it's written for me. It's for me. You can't take it away."

Just as Bi Gou was about to say a letter, he suddenly remembered that the handwriting was wrong.

"Let me take a look. I didn't see clearly just now." Song Jing stretched out her hand.

"Don't read it, I tell you, it was written by Princess Yongmu." Su Ting took the letter and ran back to his office.
