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

The scorching summer passed unknowingly in the pouring cold water, and the green bamboo mat on the bed was replaced by soft linen and a blanket woven with thin cashmere threads.The fiery red pomegranate flowers have also faded, and withered together with the vegetation that gradually turned yellow.

But everyone is in a happy mood. The corn planted in Taixi all over the country has ushered in a bumper harvest. Baskets of harvested corn are placed on the ridge of the corn field. The clerk is amazed every time a basket is weighed. One sound.

Fresh corn needs to be dried in the sun to last for a long time, and it can also be threshed and ground into fine cornmeal with a stone mill. This kind of flour is a little rougher than wheat flour, but it is much tastier and sweeter than dried beans.

And corn stalks can be made into cattle feed, so the cattle don't have to go hungry during the winter.

Apart from the temples and dignitaries, many commoner families in Curry also planted corn, and they all harvested.They planted less, took care of it more carefully, and their yield was higher than that of the temple, but they didn't plant too much.But even if this is not much, it is comparable to the output of a decent piece of land.Families with a surplus can't feel this kind of surprise, and the people in the slums are really weeping with joy.

Enough is enough, enough to eat until next spring!

After harvesting enough food, add a little relief food from the temple, and then go to catch some fish and exchange beans and wheat flour with the dignitaries (after the fish sausage became popular, Curry added a fixed trade of food for fish), People in the slums have finally had a better time this year.

They dried the harvested corn and ground it into flour to make bread.

The cornmeal is finely ground, and the finished bread tastes sweet and fragrant.Commoners seldom eat bread made of wheat flour. Their staple food is all kinds of beans, as well as stone-like black bread made of a little wheat bran and other materials. Even black bread is precious, after all, it is bread.But the taste of cornbread is much better than these black bean cakes.

"We will not plant beans next year, but corn." Many people were eating cornbread while thinking about next year's bumper harvest.

The dignitaries who planted corn ate snacks made of dried cornmeal. After a while, they gave up the food made purely of cornmeal, which was not as delicate and delicious as wheat flour.But fresh corn is delicious, steamed, roasted, and can be peeled off to make soup. The taste is between fruit and staple food.

The stalks of corn can be used to feed livestock, and the cobs of peeled corn kernels can be ground into flour, which can also be fed to livestock.

To sum up, corn is indeed a very useful food, which can be promoted next year and can be planted together with beans.

At this time, Yunze started planting winter wheat again.This year he has a bumper harvest of winter wheat, much higher than spring wheat.Others who knew the news also took out a piece of land to plant wheat, next year to see if the yield of winter wheat is really higher than that of spring wheat.

This time, Yunze still has half of the land for winter wheat planting, and the other half is reserved for soybean planting next year.

He has harvested a lot of soybeans, sugar beets, japonica and glutinous rice this year.That's right, the rice harvest on Xiaoshanbao's side is also bumper, and their yield is higher than Yunze imagined.

All the harvested rice was sent to the warehouse, and Yunze supplied wheat, chickens and ducks to the farmers’ families over there. He also asked three hundred soldiers from the family to open the [-] mu of paddy fields that Yunze wanted. Next year, the planting scale will be expanded. More farmers need to be dispatched.

Since the appearance of Qu Yuanli, the labor force under Yunze who is in charge of planting has been a little overflowing.Now it is just time to send this part of the extra labor to plant rice there.

In addition, medicinal herbs also need to increase production, and medicinal farmers also need to increase.

The slave soldiers have all left their slave status and become civilians, but they have not yet obtained Curry's household registration.Yunze asked the king for a piece of wasteland on the outskirts of Curry early on, and reserved it for them to build a house.

He originally wanted them to have a good status and reserved land so that they could start a family in the future.And he also said earlier that once they have a girl they like, they can be allocated a separate room, and they can move out.All this does not affect their current work.But half a year has passed, and there is not a single person who has left the order.

It's also strange, they are all young, don't they want to start a family?

Hearing Yunze's question, Menis laughed and said: "Your Highness, even if you want to, you have to give them a chance to meet girls." They were either on missions or at the training ground. Except for a few maids at home, how could they see other girls? Opportunities for unmarried members of the opposite sex?

Yunze really didn't expect this, he blushed with embarrassment, but for the happiness of his subordinates, he still seriously asked Menis, who also had a bunch of soldiers but took care of them properly: "What good do you have?" Suggestion?"

"Since they are no longer slaves, and they are your direct subordinates, if they are interested, I don't know how many girls will be satisfied. But it is also because they are your subordinates, so generally they will only find girls under your subordinates, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble. There are twists and turns. It’s just that there are not many unmarried girls on your side, but there are many bachelors, why don’t you go to the household registration officer and ask if there are any suitable single women.”

It turns out that the subordinates of Menis, who has a big family and a big business, are all digested internally.And because Yunze came here for a short time, he hasn't managed such a network yet, so naturally he doesn't have enough unmarried girls for internal digestion.

But to find a household registration officer for this...

Inexplicably, there is a sense of déjà vu of an old man holding a photo and resume in the blind date corner in the park.

Yunze was worrying, when Menis asked again: "Your Highness wants to find marriage partners for them, so have you thought about how to accommodate so many families?"

This is another question, but Yunze has already thought about it.

He said: "Your Majesty and I have applied for a piece of land, just outside Curry, near my ranch. If they get married, they can get a piece of land there for building a house, and they can also get a piece of land for farming. This All the output on the land belongs to them as one of the rewards for their services to me."

In short, these are all employee benefits. If you stop working for him in the future, you have to take your own property, move out with your wife and children, and return the land.

We have a house and a job, but we don’t have a partner.

Suddenly, Yunze didn't know what he thought of, he laughed: "I know."

But he didn't say what he knew, just took out a piece of paper with a smile and began to doodle.Menis didn't ask either. Those who pursued the bottom line, whether they were men or women, were very unpleasant.Anyway, in the end you still have to know.

It didn't take long for Menis to see that Yunze was looking for a household registration officer, but it wasn't for a blind date, but to recruit a group of young girls with household registrations in and around Curry and good backgrounds to join the expanded textile department.

Curry's textile department is still in charge of Yunze, and there are more than 100 local female textile workers in Curry.But this time he wants to expand to 500 people - because of the cotton harvest.

Cotton is planted in the land belonging to the royal family. The harvested cotton in autumn has arrived at the textile department. The female workers in the textile department need to sort out cotton seeds and impurities, and then start to make cotton thread.

Cotton has proved to be well adapted here, and the replacement of linen by cotton is a sure future.

There is not a lot of cotton planted this year, but there will definitely be more next year. A group of farmers who specialize in planting flax will switch to cotton, so the textile department will continue to expand next year.

Curry has a population of more than [-], and cotton cloth needs to meet the supply of more than [-] people, and it must also be provided to foreign caravans. Such a small amount of planting is not enough.There will be more and more cotton, and the demand for cotton cloth will also increase.Even if Menis is already thinking about cultivating new land for cotton planting next year, other people should have the same idea.

The expansion of the Ministry of Textiles is imperative.

Expanding cotton planting and expanding the textile department has several advantages:

It allows local people to use cheaper and better local cotton instead of expensive foreign linen.Linen is an important expenditure for Curry residents. If there is high-quality and low-cost cotton cloth on the market, this necessary expenditure will be reduced. They can buy more clothes and thick cotton-padded quilts.

It can make cotton cloth become Taixi's fist industry. While being self-sufficient, there is still a surplus for export.Cotton is processed into cotton cloth and then dyed, which can be sold directly to foreign countries at a high price and directly exported in the name of the country, which helps to turn the trade deficit into a trade surplus.

And it encourages female employment and empowers women economically.In Taixi, the money a woman earns belongs to herself, and her contribution to the family directly determines her family status.If women have the ability to earn money, their life will be much easier.

Yunze does not have a Jenny loom, but he has something else, a loom that is not as efficient as the Jenny loom, but still far beyond this era.It's in the game.Players buy this kind of loom and place it in the room for decoration. It is an alternative decoration. Yunze found it in the 'Home Decoration' after searching for a long time.

Carpenters have a new job, which is to make this kind of loom.The prototype was handed over to the female workers in the textile department for adaptation. This kind of loom needs to be used with both hands and feet. Most of the female textile workers said that this machine is easier to use than the previous one.As long as they are proficient, their speed can be doubled, and the cloth weaves is thin, dense, smooth and soft.

The textile workshop is officially expanded, and a new workshop is already under construction.

The household registration officer sent the following small officials to various streets in Kuli and nearby villages to inform: women aged 13 to 35 who think they have good weaving skills can go to Kuli on the first day of a certain month with a local ID card The Ministry of Textiles in Lishui conducts an assessment.

The Ministry of Textiles needs to expand and recruit new female workers. If they are admitted, they will be professional female workers serving the Wang family in the future.

As soon as the news came out, the girl from the civilian family and some young daughters-in-law became excited.

Serving the Wang family, with a fixed salary, and a Chinese meal included - such a favorable condition, no daughter of a commoner family can refuse.

Female textile workers are guaranteed jobs, as long as they don't make mistakes, they can work until they are 50 or [-] years old.Young girls can save a good dowry after working for one or two years, and can also choose a husband with better conditions.Women can earn household and own pensions, and can enhance their status in the family.

There are not too many jobs that women can do in this era, and even fewer jobs that ordinary women can do.An assessment to recruit female textile workers is an opportunity for many people to jump into the dragon's gate.

Except for girls with really bad hands-on skills, and girls from good families who don't want to suffer, everyone else is eager to try.
