The new book "Refusing the Heaven and the Ming Dynasty" has been released, and friends are kindly requesting to continue to support it.

The climate is getting colder, especially in the north, which is more obvious. This makes the sweet potatoes that can be grown no longer adapted to, and are all changed to potatoes.
The yield of sweet potatoes and potatoes is similar, but the taste is different.
In order to deal with major disasters, even if the north is more serious and the south has a smaller impact, the emperor also coordinated the arrangements and mobilized the whole country's efforts.
The area of sweet potato planting in the south has increased significantly, and there are also rigid regulations in Mekong Province, Hainan and Dongfan.
Large yield is the best advantage. It is transported to the north as a supplement to grain, which is called supplementing the north from the south.
If ordinary people drink sweet potato porridge and cannot starve to death, they will not rise up and social order will be stable.
Food is the most important thing for people. It is such a simple truth that many dynasties have fallen on this, and the Ming Dynasty in history is no exception.
Zhang Zhuzi gave in and took it away, then carried the sacks from the car, all of which were grown by his own family. There were peanuts, potatoes, and corn, which were not expensive, but were quite considerate.
"Although it's a little cold, the harvest this year is still fine." Zhang Zhuzi said with a smile: "Yingzi said, "What do you want, say it, I'll bring you from home."
A Tao smiled and took it without hesitation, saying, "Just get a good harvest. If you farm, you are afraid that it will work hard for a year. God will not give me food. Look how good I am, I can earn money by drought and flood, and I earn money."
Zhang Zhuzi nodded with a chuckle, but he didn't agree.
Yingzi and A Tao worked together and had that idea when they returned home, but now they are doing well and don’t think so.
A Tao sent Zhang Zhuzi outside the door, remembered something again, and said, "You don't have a small grocery store in your village. Otherwise, you can do one and get the goods from our store."
Zhang Zhuzi didn't make a decision immediately, and thought for a while and said, "I'll go back and discuss with Yingzi."
"The boss means to expand into rural stores. I can still say something here and give you the lowest price." A Tao smiled and said, "Some commercial goods can still be used on credit."
"Yingzi should be happy." Zhang Zhuzi nodded and said, "She can't stay idle and always wants to find a job."
"Okay, then wait for me to come and give me a letter!" A Tao looked at Zhang Zhuzi getting on the carriage and waved his hand to say goodbye.
The wheels were rolled on the frozen dirt road just now, making a rhythmic creaking sound. The cold wind blew on his face, but it could not stop the heat in Zhang Zhuzi's heart.
Thinking of his wife at home and the fat boy, Zhang Zhuzi couldn't help but smile.
After only two years of Ping Liao, the changes were huge. Even Zhang Zhuzi was surprised to come sometimes.
The reconstruction was rapid and the population recovered extremely quickly. Liaodong, which had experienced wars, revived its prosperity at a surprising speed, even surpassing the pre-war period.
This is due to the various preferential policies introduced by the court and the huge resources invested not only make the people full of enthusiasm for building their homes, but also gives them the conditions to create wealth.
Who has no idea what to do? He won’t take advantage of the two or three years of preferential policies and tax exemption to save some money.
Zhang Zhuzi's family farmed again, raised chickens and sheep, and ran for transportation and pulled them. They made great efforts and made more and more hopeful life.
There were many Liao people like his family. Later, the people of Shandong, Shaanxi, and northern Zhili who immigrated to each other would almost have a recovery as long as they had a harvest in a year.
In addition to reclamation, the Liaodong government also has other jobs that often recruit workers. The biggest projects are railways, steel plants in Anshan, and coal mines in Fushun. They have become the largest heavy industry in Liaodong and absorbed a large number of workers.
The loose policies for farmers have given the people more money and promoted the prosperity and development of business.
Relying on the advancement, the Chinese Chamber of Commerce opened outlets in major towns in Liaodong; the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce and the Maritime Chamber of Commerce have also entered Liaodong one after another to sell their own characteristics and unique products.
Brown sugar, millet, salt, cloth... Zhang Zhuzi once again calculated the daily necessities he purchased, and felt that he had not fallen behind, so he felt relieved.
When he got home, looking at his wife's smiling face and listening to the fat boy's giggle was Zhang Zhuzi's happiest thing.
Next year, if the harvest is good, you should inlaid a glass window for your home or buy a mirror if you say it.
Although his wife didn't say anything, Zhang Zhuzi knew that Yingzi loved the most glass mirror and looked very vividly. She could still use it frequently in the shop, but after following him, Zhang Zhuzi...
More than a dozen horsemen appeared in front of him, and the military uniforms could be recognized from afar.
Zhang Zhuzi put away his guilt for his wife, slowed down, drove the car to the side of the road, and gave way to the cavalry.
"Although I was thinking about it in my heart when I went home for the New Year, I still felt that it was more lively with my brothers in the camp."
Zhao Huizu shook his whip and rode on the horse and spoke loudly. If anyone still called him Fatty Zhao now, he would have spitted on his face.
The fat is gone, the face is gone. There is a bit more maturity and vicissitudes on the face, and the eyes are even more sharp as a soldier.
"It's really great to drink a big bowl of wine and eat meat with big mouthfuls." Zhang Junneng sighed: "But we are unfilial to our parents for several years. They are also planning to get married and have found a girl."
Zhao Huizu glanced at the carriage beside the road. The man driving the car was not awe, but envy and emotion. He clenched his fists and covered his chest and saluted them.
Although it is a military ritual, it is a common ritual, not the formal one in the military camp.
Zhao Huizu clenched his fists and covered his chest, bowed slightly, and politely returned a bow.
This is also a soldier, and may even have bleeding and injured. In Liaodong, retired officers and soldiers can be seen everywhere, and they have returned to normal people's lives, but their temperament can still be seen.
"Huizu, where is your parents? Didn't you ask for marriage?" Zhang Junneng returned the same gift, nodded and smiled before turning to Zhao Huizu and asked.
A woman's shadow flashed through Zhao Huizu's mind. Her appearance was already very blurry, and only the crisp sound was clearly remembered.
I don’t know where she is now and how she is doing?
The thought flashed by, but Zhao Huizu never dreamed that the girl was already a wife and a mother, sitting on the kang to coax the child. He never thought that the man who passed by was someone else's man.
After laughing at the ground, Zhao Huizu whipped his horse's boots with a horse whip and said, "You can still not do anything, but you will be very impressed when you think of this. What kind of blessings are so good for you? My parents, I really don't know that I am already a heroic man."
Hahaha, Zhang Jun can laugh. Zhao Huizu successfully lost weight and became what he is now, which is indeed not something his parents can think of.
The laughter went away, and Zhang Zhuzi felt a lot of emotion. The soldiers from Liaodong may no longer find his acquaintances.
With a whip, a sound of flowers was heard, and the carriage was rippling. Zhang Zhuzi's heart was filled with expectations for home and longing for a new life.
