Because Mr. Zhao was pressed for time, he would not get off the boat to disturb the place this time, so he asked Tang Youde to come to the boat for lunch.
Lunch was held on the bow deck of the ship. After Tang Youde rushed over, his face flushed with excitement and he rushed over. "Sir, Old Tang finally appears again!"
"You're talking more and more weirdly. Is it because you've been with the stick for too long?" Mr. Zhao couldn't help laughing and scolding: "What do you mean you're acting here again?"
"Hey, that's about right. Life is like a play." Fatty Tang rubbed his hands together excitedly and said, "Old Tang hasn't appeared for another whole year. Who still remembers that I was Young Master's trump card Green Leaf, and Xue Master Lang is also called your right-hand man?"
"Then you two should have a good hug." Mr. Zhao felt a chill and sat back on his chair.
"If you look forward to the stars and the moon, you are looking forward to seeing the mage!" Tang Youde happily held Xuelang's hand, shook it vigorously and said, "In the future, someone will act opposite Old Tang."
Xue Lang nodded with a smile and said, "I hope Mayor Tang will take good care of this young monk in the future."
"I will definitely do it, I will do it in the future." Tang Youde nodded repeatedly, and then the two of them sat down politely.
At this time, Qiaoqiao served the cooked dishes. Tang Youde quickly stood up to help prepare the dishes. He was moved to tears and said, "This is a blessing that I have cultivated in my lifetime. I can eat the food cooked by Miss Qiaoqiao again. It's like returning home." Back to the days of Caijiaxiang, so many years have passed in the blink of an eye"
"Yes, you are now the mayor of a city." Mr. Zhao laughed loudly and pointed to Xingang City in the distance: "How about it, is it more fun than running a grocery store?"
"Tired and happy." Tang Youde chuckled and pointed at his head and said, "I have gray hair."
"Look, in less than three sentences, the original shape is revealed." Zhao Hao greeted him and talked while eating: "What other problems do you want me to solve?"
"It's true that the parents who gave birth to me are the masters who know me." Tang Youde said with a smile: "Didn't this year we recruited 30,000 households from the country to come and cultivate the land? As a result, the fields were divided among them, but I didn't expect that the land here was too large. If you are poor, you can only harvest two hundred catties of wheat from one acre of land."
"It's still close to the canal and irrigated in time. The kind of dry land that depends on the sky has a yield of only about 100 kilograms per mu, which is not enough." He sighed sadly and said: "If it weren't for the high ship tax, , we can build a lot of infrastructure so that immigrants can have jobs. They are afraid that they will give up But the young master has also seen that even the second pier that was planned to be built during the second five-year plan has been built in advance. There will be no infrastructure for next year. But after all, we can¡¯t build a road around the island, right?¡±
"This is not a bad idea. You need to build roads first to get rich first, and have more children and more trees." Mr. Zhao said with a smile: "I will ask you to immigrate 10,000 households first, and then explore the number of roads." If you don¡¯t listen, are you dumbfounded now? "
"Please give me some advice, sir." Tang Youde begged pitifully, "I know I was wrong. I promise to be obedient next time."
¡°It¡¯s really difficult to start agriculture when the yield per mu is about 100 kilograms.¡± Zhao Hao sighed.
"If Tamluo Island had not been barren, our court would not have generously rewarded the Li Dynasty." "No wonder the Li Dynasty only used it to raise horses and exile prisoners."
"Then what do the locals grow?" Zhao Hao asked.
"It's the same as those grown in Shanxi and Shaanxi, buckwheat and oats." Tang Youde replied: "This kind of poor place is windy and can't store water, so we can only grow these two things."
"Then their life is hard enough." Xuelang looked sympathetic. Buckwheat is also called purifying grass. The more people eat, the thinner they become. Many high-ranking officials and nobles in Jinling often eat it, and the euphemistic name is "not forgetting the true colors", but in fact it is to lose weight
"They are all untouchables. They are not human beings in the Li Dynasty. Besides, these buckwheat and oats are mainly used as concentrated feed for horses, and people can't even get enough to eat them." Tang Youde said.
"Have you calculated the statistics? How many livestock are there on the island?" Zhao Hao asked.
"According to statistics, there are 20,000 horses in the official horse farm on the island, and there are also private horse farms owned by merchants. In addition, there are probably 10,000 pigs, cattle and sheep each." Tang Youde said.
"So many?" Xuelang couldn't help but be speechless.
"The boss of this island is as big as two Kunshan counties, and the ground is not good for growing food, but it is very suitable for growing pasture." Tang Youde smiled and said: "Sixty-seven out of ten untouchables on the island during the Li Dynasty were raising livestock. Horses must be paid as tribute to our and Li Dynasties every year. Furthermore, this is also the island¡¯s main source of economy.¡±
"Have you ever investigated whether there is much room for development of animal husbandry?" Zhao Hao asked again.
"The space is so big. The pigs, horses and cows on the island are now"nbsp; He usually drinks breast milk, of course expressed!
"Is this the milk you gave birth to three months ago?"
"This pasteurized milk has a shelf life of only half a month, but it can preserve the nutrition and freshness of the milk to the maximum extent." Mr. Zhao owes his current height to one cup of milk a day. He had already had milk preserved by pasteurization.
The so-called pasteurization method is to heat the milk to 60 degrees for half an hour, so that only the lactic acid bacteria that are beneficial to the human body are left in the milk. This season, it¡¯s okay to keep it sealed for ten days and a half.
"If you use high-temperature sterilization, it can be stored for more than half a year, but a lot of nutrients will be lost." Mr. Zhao said with a smile: "I currently don't have the ability to let all the children in Ming Dynasty drink milk. Let's first let students in schools in Jiangnan Guys, let¡¯s drink a cup of milk a day So keep raising cows well, Old Tang! In the future, students will not only study in the school building you built, but also drink your milk and grow up!" (Remember this site¡¯s website address: www.hlnovel .com
