God don't even try to stop me from doing infrastructure!

But the man came over with a bunch of things in his hands, carefully looked outside the door, closed the door, and blocked it with a big stone: "Mum, father, His Royal Highness the God Son of the temple gave us something, no money, what? No, give us something."

He opened the burlap bag and almost got his head in to see: "Look, it's wheat flour, sweet and fragrant wheat flour, so fine, without wheat bran. This is for our children. Look, these dried beans are all so big. It's so dry and soaked up so much. It's all for us. The bag is also made of a good material and makes a jacket."

He grabbed a handful of beans and handed them to the woman. The woman couldn't put her hands together, and she also showed a surprised expression: "Ah, these beans are very good, they are very big."

Then those beans were passed on to the two old people: "I will cook it for my father and mother later."

The two old people looked at the beans in their hands, looked at the firelight for a long time, and passed them to their daughter-in-law: "Let's eat together, and give some more to Xiaomei."

Xiaomei is their eldest granddaughter, she is already ten years old, and none of the children born after that survived until she gave birth to another one last year, barely surviving till now.But the two old people don't have much hope for their little grandson. This winter is too difficult.

"Don't be afraid, there is this, wheat flour!" The man lowered his voice, but his expression was very excited, and his eyes even shed tears, "The adults said these are for the children to eat. With these, the children will not starve to death. It is not far from spring." Far away, father and mother can survive, Amei can also stay, and we can all survive."

Seeing this bag of finely ground wheat flour, his family members were also very moved, even more excited and at a loss than the man: "This must be wheat flour ground from a stone mill."

After the stone mill appeared, several official mills appeared in Curry. They only needed a little grain to grind a lot of beans and wheat, but they didn’t have enough food for themselves, so they didn’t go to the mill, and they didn’t eat so much. fine wheat flour.

Such fine wheat flour can be made into a paste, which can be eaten by very young children.

But this year's relief food has already been sent to the temple. Everyone has a little dried beans, and they have already eaten them. Why are they sending them now?

Seeing that his family was so happy, the man took out the yellow-brown smoked meat in his hand as if offering a treasure. It was the meat of an unknown animal. It was the size of a palm, with some fat and some thin: "Look, it's meat, His Highness the Son of God gave it to us. Meat."

People like them have almost never tasted red meat since they were born. They don't have a large piece of land, no yard to raise chickens and ducks, and no way to raise their class. They can only eat meat by hunting.But a man does not have the ability to hunt, he can only rent other people's land to plant.Only 20.00% of the output of a piece of land goes into his pocket. This little food needs to feed a family, and they simply cannot afford to eat meat.

The man licked it carefully, and bit off some shredded meat, which tasted slightly salty and had an indescribable aroma: "So the meat tastes like this..."

The man was satisfied at once, and he handed the meat to his wife: "Try it, you all have a taste."

So the family took a careful bite of this piece of smoked meat and let out admiration one by one, as if they had eaten some flat peach and ginseng fruit.But the small gap on the piece of jerky is the size of a few mung beans.

"Put it up and hide the meat. Don't let others find out." The experienced old man instructed his daughter-in-law.

"Put it in the broken pot that is not needed, then wrap it in a cloth, and put it in the firewood. This is very precious bacon, with salt added to it, every time you put a little in the soup, the taste will be very delicious. Such a piece , we can eat for a long time. Praise the benevolent Son of God, he must have heard our prayers, may the gods bless him."

At this moment, several people sincerely thanked the son of God who handed them the life-saving rope at a critical moment, although they had no idea what this kind son of God looked like.

At the same time, Yunze drove into the palace, he wanted to discuss with His Majesty the king about planting street trees.Although Menis said that it is enough to report such a small matter, Yunze still thinks it is better to be more formal.

He didn't come to the door empty-handed, but brought a gift, that is, the black pepper sauce that the other party couldn't forget last time, Yunze himself only had three jars left, and now he gave away one jar, with a basket of Chinese cabbage and white radish.Fresh vegetables in winter are more precious than fresh meat.

His Majesty the King received him happily. The two of them were roasting by the warm fire, eating freshly roasted mutton and fresh corn. Yunze took advantage of the opportunity and said that he wanted to plant trees on both sides of the avenue.

His Majesty the King accepted it without even thinking about it. Even Yunze expressed his desire to make fine wine from the harvested fruits and distribute them to the low-level workers and small officials in Kuli as rewards. His Majesty the King also felt that it was no problem.

So the two sentences of business are over, and we are all chatting afterwards.While talking, the king talked about Yunze's marriage. He said that he could marry his favorite princess.

Yunze thought about that little princess, she was 13 years old, she was in elementary school... Bah, she was still young, so he declined.

The king wasn't angry at all. There were many beautiful maids and priestesses around Yunze, but he didn't get close to any of them. His Majesty the king thought that he was probably the same as the great priest and Menis, a devout servant, and one who maintained his health. clean.

From the king's point of view, he wished all the priests were like this, so don't worry.

So the topic skipped marriage and turned to the planting of next year's corn.

Next year, one-third of the arable land belonging to each royal family will be used for planting corn. This is the land where beans were previously grown, and the same is true for the temple.Even less land is used to grow cotton.Curry also has a lot of seeded people who are also preparing.With the advent of the new plow, plowing has become a little easier, and His Majesty the King plans to clear some more land next year.

He asked Yunze what he planned to plant next year, and Yunze said that he had planted winter wheat and would plant beans next spring.

"If the yield of wheat is higher in winter, it will also help relieve food pressure. In addition, the rotation of beans and grains can maintain the fertility of the land, but what I want to plant is not chickpeas or broad beans, but another kind of beans."

His Majesty is not interested in beans, nor does he like beans.He was, however, somewhat interested in winter wheat and methods of keeping the soil fertile.The matter of winter wheat can wait for Yunze's final results, but the method of maintaining fertility can be quickly used: "Does God know any way to maintain the fertility of the land?"

In order to maintain fertility, many of His Majesty's lands are used as wheat fields for one year and pastures for one year, and they are used alternately in this way.There is little arable land in Taixi, not that there is less land, but that there is less land suitable for growing wheat. Because of the high temperature and less rain in summer, it is suitable for pasture growth and can be used for grazing, so Taixi's animal husbandry is developed.

In order to ensure the output of the small arable land, one year of cultivation must be fallowed for one year, which also has a huge impact on the output.

"Yes, ferment with human and animal manure and wheat stalks. After a year, dilute it and water it on the cultivated land. I'm going to do this this year, but I haven't determined the dilution ratio yet."

"Human and animal excrement?" His Majesty the King was taken aback, but he was a king of nouveau riche and didn't pay much attention to it, so he was just a little surprised, and continued to ask, "Can this kind of thing fertilize the fields?" From what he heard, he was still planning to try .

"When the harvest comes out this year, we will know. Because it takes a year to ferment, Your Majesty can first consider planting the beans on the newly reclaimed land, which can increase the fertility of the land. Ah, but you can start building public toilets and walking on the street. It is indeed indecent to cover the ground with dung."

The king began to hesitate. Seeing this, Yunze tentatively asked: "Why don't you entrust this matter to me, Your Majesty, and I will be responsible for building public toilets and public drinking pools. Curry is a big city. If it is convenient for passers-by to go to the toilet and drink A place with a clean water source will definitely be praised as His Majesty's virtue."

The king still had to face: "Since it was built by the Son of God, how can it be said to be my virtue?"

Yunze knew that his heart was moved as soon as he heard it, and said with a smile: "I just opened my mouth. Turning around, the workers belong to your majesty, and the stone materials belong to your majesty. Naturally, they are your majesty's virtues. Toilets and drinking pools need people to guard and clean them. For a simple job, it is better to recruit some old civilians, and only need to pay a small salary."

"It's still the son of God who is thoughtful, so that even old people have the ability to make money."

This matter was confirmed in the mutual flattery of the two.

While talking about the Reincarnation of the Five Grains, Yunze ate the cheese tacos specially created by the royal family without any hindrance, and found that although eating too much would make you tired, but the taste was really good, so I couldn't help but take two more bites, I was [-]% full, put it down .

Seeing that Yunze put down his things, His Majesty the King was almost full. He wiped his mouth with a cotton cloth, and a maid came over with a tea bowl and basin, and told them to rinse their mouths and wash their hands.

"If the human and livestock manure field is successful, His Majesty can also announce the method of fertilizing the field, which can increase food production and solve the problem of some people defecating indiscriminately." Yun Ze said.

"When Son of God was preparing for spring plowing, I asked the agricultural officer to help. I could check the growth of the wheat planted in winter and the condition of the fertilizer. But the most important thing this year is the golden wheat. The Taixiduo Ranch has less available arable land. It is rare elsewhere. If, as Shenzi said, golden wheat can also be planted in mountains and other marginal lands, the Taixi people will be very grateful to Shenzi."

The king is most concerned about this year's Golden Wheat.

Now that the issue of food was mentioned, Yunze also talked about sending people to the slums to deliver food by the way.From the time I met that child, to sending people to deliver things today.Yunze didn't want the king to misunderstand that he was gaining popular support and reputation.This would indeed bring him prestige, but when he made this decision, he was really impulsive, but he didn't regret it.

The king didn't doubt that Yunze's silly and sweet character in the early stage was too successful. Everyone thought he was the living father, selfless and kind, so it was not surprising that he gave away things because of a child.

What's more, even if you want to gain prestige, you should also use those who have military and administrative power in their hands. What's the use of fighting slums?

People in this era basically don't pay attention to the power of the people. Maybe some people have this feeling vaguely, but there is no systematic theory to tell them the importance of people's hearts.

The king cared more about another thing than people's hearts: "The son of God sent out the surplus grain, wouldn't there be surplus wheat to make beer?"

Yunze: "...Ah, no, only a small part was sent out, and there is still a lot of wheat left at home, and I don't like to drink beer either."

This is not a lie, most of the sent out are beans, and there is still a lot of wheat left.And the local ale is mostly the kind of sticky soup-like sweet noodle soup made of fermented bread, which he doesn't like at all.

But the king didn't believe it.

As a typical Taixi people who drink wine like water, the king judges others by himself, and thinks that people all over the world should like to drink, and saying that he doesn't like it is unconditional.He felt that Yunze was a dead duck with a stubborn mouth, and all the food was sent out, so he said that he didn't like drinking.

So, when Yunze was about to leave, the king gave him a lot of wheat, more than what Yunze gave.It made Yunze feel that going to the palace was like a poor relative going to a rich relative's house to have a good time.

It's okay, Yunze is thinking about whether to give porridge for a few days in early spring, so as to get through this year first.Next year, when corn is planted, the life of the bottom people will not be so difficult.

The wheat sent by the king plus Yunze's own, the porridge is enough, even if the rations are subtracted, there is still a lot left.It is inappropriate to give away the rest of this part. It is not to save the poor, and giving away too many free things is not precious, and it will form a habit.

"But I really don't like drinking. How about... make some maltose?"
