Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Today's doctor who advises farmers is called Yang Banggui.

    He was ordered to arrange agricultural technicians to go to Nanpan Mansion to teach the natives how to farm.  After the matter was settled properly, Yang Banggui led another person to the Yingmin Hall to meet the emperor.

    The Secretary of Quannong has an excellent tradition, and every time he meets the emperor, he must bring some local products.

    This time I brought a pile of cassava, and it was cassava sent from Hainan Island.

    ? Yang Banggui said happily: "Your Majesty, Honglu Temple has brought back many crops from overseas, and the Secretary of Quan Nong has already cultivated and tested all of them for several years. This cassava is a good thing!"

    Of course Zhao Han knew it was a good thing, he smiled and said, "Tell me about your cultivation results."

    Yang Banggui explained in detail: "Cassava is grown in several provinces in the north and south, but the growth in the north is not good, and it will even be frozen to death in winter. Cassava grows well in the southern provinces. It is drought-resistant, wind-resistant, and does not pick soil, but it is not easy to grow sweet potatoes.  Cassava can be harvested in the mountainous areas of the country. It usually takes two years to harvest cassava, but the experimental field in Qiongzhou matures in less than a year, and the yield of fresh potato is more than 18,000 catties per mu!"

    "How much?" Zhao Han thought he heard it wrong.

    "The yield per mu is more than 18,000 catties," Yang Banggui repeated, and continued, "Moreover, cassava is resistant to wind. This summer encountered a typhoon, and other crops in the experimental field were destroyed. Only this cassava survived the typhoon!  "

    Zhao Han praised again and again: "Okay, good stuff!"

    Before crossing, Zhao Han only knew that the yield of cassava per mu was very high, but he really didn¡¯t know that it was so high, and he didn¡¯t know that cassava can shorten the growth cycle in Hainan Island.

    Is it related to the tropical climate?

    Zhao Han instructed: "Then take this cassava and plant it in Luzon and the southwestern border. Especially in Xishuangbanna of Nacheli County, and Pingnan Military and Civilian Mansion, you can try to plant it, and if it succeeds, it will be vigorously promoted!"  "

    Yang Banggui said: "Your Majesty, this cassava is poisonous. I heard that many people were poisoned to death in Africa. It must be soaked in water for six or seven days, and then cooked before eating."

    Zhao Han nodded and said: "This is the same as the kidney beans that were promoted a few years ago. You have to cook them before eating, and you have to warn the people repeatedly when promoting the seeds."

    Kidney beans, that is, kidney beans and kidney beans, were introduced to the coast of China decades ago.  Today, under the official promotion of the Datong court, it has gradually spread to all provinces across the country.

    There are also Dutch peas, which are green beans and vegetable peas, which are slightly different from traditional Chinese peas.  After the Datong Army recovered Tainan, Dutch beans were also brought back to the mainland and have been popularized in the southern provinces.

    And the name is very nonsensical. The Chinese call it "Dutch Bean", and the Dutch call it "Chinese Bean". Its origin is actually in Thailand and Myanmar.

    "How about trial planting of dates?" Zhao Han asked.

    Yang Banggui replied: "Date palms cannot survive the winter in the north. Even if they are not frozen to death, they will be too frozen to produce dates. Even in the Yangtze River Basin, the planting conditions of date palms are not good. They can only be planted in Fujian, Guangxi, Yunnan, and Guangdong.  , Guangnan planting. There are also islands in Taiwan, Luzon, Yecheng, Malacca and other places."

    Zhao Han sighed: "I still plan to plant in the desert of Hetao, it seems that it is too cold to do."

    The Winter Solstice Festival, the Great Court Meeting.

    The military officials wished the emperor a happy holiday, and the wives also entered the palace to congratulate the concubines.

    After the court meeting was over, Zhao Han held a banquet in the palace and invited the ministers of Wu to try cassava noodles dumplings.

    The ministers didn't care too much. The emperor would have given his ministers flat food dumplings during the winter solstice and New Year's Day. This is a rule handed down from the Ming Dynasty.

    After sitting at twenty or thirty tables, Zhao Han held up the fast food and said, "Let's start, let's taste the difference in this year's flat food."

    Fei Ruhe dipped in vinegar and took a bite, but didn't feel any difference.  But he knows the emperor, knows today's dumplings, it must be different.

    Chen Xisong, who has been promoted to Zuo Shilang, of course knows what this is, and the officials who persuaded the agricultural department are all his old subordinates.  But it can't be said for the time being, the emperor needs to announce it, and it can't steal the emperor's limelight.

    Halfway through eating the dumplings, the guard brought in two baskets of cassava.

    All the ministers looked at it one after another, guessing what kind of crop it was, anyway, it must be edible.

    Zhao Han finally smiled and said: "The name of this thing is cassava, which is produced in America. It was introduced to Africa by the Portuguese, and now it is planted in our dynasty. The noodles we eat today are mixed with cassava flour. Two catties of wheat flour mixed with  A pound of cassava flour can be used to make dumplings."

    Zhu Shunshui cupped his hands and said: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, another new crop has been obtained, and all the people in the world can have enough food and clothing."

    Zhao Han said with a smile: "This plant can be planted in the southern provinces. It is cold-resistant, wind-resistant, and does not pick the land. It can also be planted in barren mountains. It can also produce thousands of acres per mu., Ordinary farmers and tenants have to pay water rent to the big landlords for irrigation every year.

    Thirdly, based on the unit of origin or clan, farmers raise funds to expand overseas. This method is very common in Taiwan, and there are many in Luzon and Yecheng.  Often a village is all from the same county.  Or a village, although they are of different origins, are all Hakka people.

    Probably the Qing Dynasty's model for developing Taiwan.

    Historically, although the Manchu Qing regained Taiwan, they only opened one port, and they were not allowed to bring family members there.

    This kind of ban is empty, and people from Fujian and Guangdong provinces frantically head to Taiwan.  However, it is difficult to cultivate overseas, and the family members really cannot take them there. Often there are several villages where there is not a single woman, and they are all young and vigorous young men.

    They are all young and strong, they have no family records, and they are surrounded by fellow villagers. Guess what will happen?

    In Taiwan in another time and space, uprisings continued during the Qing Dynasty.  And it's very nonsense, it all went very smoothly at the beginning, and the Manchu Qing garrison was beaten to the ground, and then the rebel army split internally.  Zhangzhou people, Quanzhou people, Cantonese people, and Hakka people fought each other, and were finally divided and suppressed by the army sent by the Manchu Qing.

    The name Chiayi County is the result of fights between immigrants.  Inside the Tiandihui, due to the enmity of the native place, the local people sided with the imperial court, and were finally rewarded by the imperial court and renamed "Chiayi".

    What kind of landlord, what kind of government, in front of young and strong immigrants without the fetters of wives and children, they all belong to scum!

    However, officials sent to Taiwan by the Qing Dynasty often failed to change their minds.  No matter how the officials try to persuade them, the officials will follow the mainland's way of extorting and extorting in Taiwan.  As soon as exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes are collected, they will explode, and if they are too harsh, they will directly kill officials and rebel!  The shortest is a riot every few years, and the longest is a major uprising in the past 20 or 30 years.

    Today's Datong New Dynasty, overseas development has that flavor.

    ? There are also more men than women and less women, and they also hold together in the same village.  Even big landlords have to be polite to them, and young people who have nowhere to exert themselves are prone to trouble.

    In the past two years, more and more young people have gone overseas to explore, and the overseas governors are both happy and headache.  The key is to find wives for them. As long as they have wives and children, these young adults can be stable.  So the governors applied to the imperial court to withhold part of the tax money and buy young women from the local chieftains.

    Those natives also fight among themselves, and now they are fighting more fiercely, robbing women and selling them to the Han governor.

    Especially on the island of Java, several sultans existed at the same time.  I have already played out my dog's brains. Once someone wins, they will immediately send troops to plunder. In addition to robbing goods, they will also rob women. Transporting women to Coconut City can be exchanged for wealth.
