Chapter 30 Yangzhou Experimental Field
Early the next morning, Chen Zhifu said goodbye to Zhu Yuanzhang and left Yangzhou with his maid and servants.
When Li Shanchang followed Zhu Yuanzhang and the others to leave, he was very proud and threw him Liu Bowen in Yangzhou. He would definitely not be able to come back in ten or eight years.
But he didn't expect that the Crown Prince would stay, which he did not expect. He was afraid of offending the Crown Prince, Li Shanchang coughed gently and said, "Your Majesty, I think the Crown Prince is working hard and should not stay in Yangzhou to resume production."
Li Bin also agreed.
Old Zhu frowned and said in his heart, "After all, the world belongs to my Zhu family, how can we watch the people suffer and let Biao'er return to Beijing?"
Zhu Biao, who had not spoken, coughed heavily and said, "Father, as a member of the Ming Dynasty, the Eastern Palace will stay in Yangzhou to experience the suffering of the people. In the future, you can be a wise ruler like your father."
Old Zhu heard Zhu Biao's words very comfortable.
Mu Ying knelt on both knees and said, "My husband Mu Ying asked for protection of the crown prince. If Your Majesty refuses, I will not be able to afford it."
"We're right, let Yu'er stop taking care of Zhu Ren and Zhu Jian and others, stay and take care of the prince with you."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
"Yu'er thanks Your Majesty."
Zhu Yuanzhang ordered that many soldiers be left to help the prince to appease the people around Yangzhou and encourage farming.
Zhu Biao wrote a letter to Queen Ma, asking her to help take care of the Science and Technology Academy of the East Palace.
Ma's family supports Zhu Biao very much, so she can rest assured that Zhu Biao will leave it to her.
Now in the early years of the founding of the country, Zhu Biao does not think it is enough to change the system. He now needs to resume farming and produce grain on land.
The conditions in Yangzhou are very suitable and can be used as the first step in agriculture.
When Lao Zhu returned to Nanjing, he ordered that the restoration of Yangzhou be a major event, and he fully supported and encouraged immigration. The order for the matter to Yangzhou was decided by the Crown Prince Zhu Biao alone.
Immigration is not something that can be achieved easily. Leaving your hometown and worrying about bullying by people from other places, not adapting to the local environment, and having no place to live is a problem.
After Zhu Biao and Liu Bowen discussed, they asked someone to call the refugees around him and the people who had no land to register, and encourage them to stay in Yangzhou.
The most difficult thing to solve was the residence, Mu Ying asked the soldiers and the people to clean up the stones and wooden boards in Yangzhou City.
The masons and carpenters and stonemasons in the Daming Science and Technology Academy were also ordered to arrive in Yangzhou overnight.
Lao Zhu was very efficient in his work, and he didn't know how to get a few trucks of food, and even asked someone to send him a stack of bills.
Due to the lack of wood, the people and soldiers picked out the wood from the ruins and used it to make wooden sheds.
Zhu Biao asked someone to make it into a simple wooden house for everyone to live temporarily. Because Lao Zhu felt sorry for him, he gave Zhu Biao the first Mingqian to use at night.
In the following days, Lao Zhu gave him five or six hundred soldiers, one to do labor and the other to protect his safety.
The weather is getting hotter and many soldiers sleep in open air and still get up to work during the day.
Mu Ying sat outside the carriage every night to rest, but Zhu Biao would sometimes let him go into the carriage and sleep for a while.
The people of Yangzhou were grateful, and Yang Shen often burst into tears. The prince accompanied them to endure hardships, so no one was moved.
Liu Bowen and Yang Xian also had several other craftsmen who were arranged by Zhu Biao to study better fertilizer in a simple wooden shed.
Chen Wansan's daughter Chen Zhifu was put together with the food left by Lao Zhu.
Every afternoon, porridge starts to be distributed in ten places for serving meals, so that those who contribute their efforts will not go hungry.
Zhu Biao ordered at least one meal of porridge every day to stand on the chopsticks.
Sometimes when someone encounters refugees who come to rob other people’s porridge, they are arrested by Mu Ying’s soldiers who are arranged to manage discipline and beat them up until they stop robbing them.
In this case, the refugees became honest, because Zhu Biao ensured that everyone could have food and they started queuing up while eating slowly.
After half a month, all the stones and waste wood in Yangzhou City were cleaned up, and it didn't matter how many carriages passed.
Yang Xian and Yang Shen urged them well that the land around Yangzhou was completely loosened with the soldiers and the people day and night.
Liu Bowen asked someone to measure the land outside Yangzhou city, register the quota of the people, and distribute grain seeds before and after the Grain Rain.
On the day when the grain was distributed, Yang Xian asked someone to go to the neighboring county to buy a big rooster and let it crow for the farmers.
"Your Highness, these are the seeds that I and the soldiers selected." Mu Ying said with two bags of the seeds he selected.
Liu Bowen stood beside him. Zhu Biao saw that these days he, a civil servant, suffered with him.
"The food left by Miss Shen's family is better than ours." Liu Bowen asked Yang Xian to untie the bag.
Zhu Biao looked up and found that it was indeed. It seemed that there were many good things in the Shen family.
In May, Yangzhou was gradually becoming hot and hot, and the grain had already been put into the fields. The people were not lazy and went to the fields before dawn.
Those who were unwilling to farm were also returned to open up land because of the encouragement of the court.
Wild grass grew in the yard, crickets jumped around inside, and the trees planted by Mu Ying outside the house also sprouted.
Yu'er delivers food and clean clothes to Zhu Biao's room every day to serve his daily life.
Under the wooden corridor where Zhu Biao lives, several craftsmen are polishing the flip plow, rotating plow, five-share plow, and liberating plow.
Mu Ying sent a few pieces of iron sheets and said, "Your Highness, the blacksmith has made the iron sheets you want."
"This is not a piece of iron, it is used to turn over soil on the plow." Zhu Biao said.
Mu Ying smiled and stood beside him and looked at the bottles and jars made by Zhu Biao, and heard his highness say what kind of chemical experiment it was.
He was thinking about how to study flower experiments because it was not a flower.
Liu Bowen and Yang Xian recorded next to him.
Zhu Biao said: "Yang Xian, if you write down this nitrogen and phosphorus fertilizer, you can use animal bones to process it into bone powder. Its nitrogen and phosphorus gravity is high, and it is the best base fertilizer for plants... Steam the raw bones of animals, remove some fat and crush them into fine powder, which contains 2% to 6% nitrogen and 15% to 28% phosphorus pentoxide."
"Two percent to six percent, what is this symbol?" Liu Bowen looked at the numbers.
"This is an Arabic numeral. I will tell you when I am down." After Zhu Biao said that, he continued to talk about the next type.
"Pittassium dihydrogen phosphate... and then add wood ash, mix the two solutions and form a crude potassium dihydrogen phosphate with a concentration of 1%.
"The earth ammonia water is sealed with 50 kilograms of fresh cow dung, soybean powder... gypsum... etc.... the fertilizer efficiency is higher than that of ammonia water.
"Use 50 kilograms of human urine plus gypsum... Mix 50 kilograms of water and stir well, seal it for half a month, which is equivalent to ammonium sulfate."
"Use... as base fertilizer, top dressing and planting fertilizer. Planting fertilizer should not touch seeds and plant roots."
People also collect chicken manure, sheep manure, cow manure and other poultry and livestock manure every day. Zhu Biao ordered his soldiers to ferment it organic fertilizer.
Most of the time, Zhu Biao wanders around the simple extractor he made, while Mu Ying follows him.
In the past few months, Old Zhu would send people what he needed and bring letters from Ma.
Let Song Lian teach the Arabic numerals taught by Shenjitang are also in progress, and everything is being prepared in an orderly manner.
