Chapter 293
After leaving the room, Murong Qin summoned the official to ask a question, and then went to the council hall.
Xu was because Murong Qin had just returned, so Hu Changping and Nan Jinci were not in a hurry to go out, but waited for her in the council hall.
Murong Qin first told the two of them in detail about the construction of the river in Xianlong Town, as well as some follow-up plans, and before the two of them were shocked, he understated his plans to plant potatoes in Yuanling.
This is a bombshell related to the people of the entire fiefdom, and the two of them didn't care about discussing the river, and after hearing about the yield of potatoes, they stood up at the same time in shock.
"Your Highness, you... How much do you say the yield per mu of potatoes?" Hu Changping was afraid that he had heard it wrong, and even his body trembled uncontrollably.
Nan Jin is not much better than him, both of them know very well, the yield per mu is thousands of catties, the meaning of being able to be both staple food and vegetables, if there are these, I am afraid that the people of Yongzhou will never live the days of eating the last meal and not the next meal.
Murong Qin understood the mood of the two, nodded with a smile
, and said, "Uncle Hu, you heard it right, the yield of potatoes per mu is more than 3,000 catties, and it is relatively easy to plant, but because it is my first time planting, we should be more secure this year, first take the vicinity of Canghe Village as a pilot, if it is planted well, it will not be too late to expand next year." "
Besides, because Yongzhou is large, the people have a lot of land, not to mention, there are thousands of acres of land around Canghe Village, if it is planted well, this year can at least earn millions of catties of potatoes, self-sufficiency is no problem, and the next year will be planted in other places of the fiefdom, in the future, the entire Yongzhou and Luozhou will no longer have to worry about the food problem, maybe they can be exported, but also increase the income of the fiefdom.
Obviously, Nan Jinci and Hu Changping also thought of this place.
Especially Hu Changping, when he heard Murong Qin talk about the magic of potatoes, his heart was always itchy, and he wanted to say something, but he couldn't say anything.
Nan Jin knew his thoughts, and said with a smile, "Since this potato is so special, Lao Hu and I also want to see it, and when the time comes, Your Highness will not forget to bring us."
"Okay, I'll send someone to inform you when the construction of Canghe Village begins.
Murong Qin understood the excitement of the two very well, and besides, it was nothing, so she nodded directly in agreement, but after saying this, she remembered another most important thing
, "Also, I am going to make cement, and I also asked Uncle Hu to send a notice from the yamen, saying that male workers are needed... Well, let's have about one or two hundred people first, thirty yuan per person per day, and then recruit a few cooks to cook for them, and the food and wages are all counted in the accounts of the yamen, if it is not enough, you can tell me at any time, and I will let people draw from the chamber of commerce. "
After all, it is not more advanced than the science and technology of later generations, whether it is mining or handling, all of them have to be manual coolies, two hundred people are not much at all, but now is the season of farming, so make do with it first, and wait until the end of the farming season, and then start recruiting a large number of people, not only to make cement, but also other aspects, one is indispensable.
Hearing this fresh word, Hu Changping was a little puzzled and asked, "What is the cement that Your Highness is talking about?" "
Cement is a kind of material, which can be used to pave roads, build houses, and repair city walls..."
The eyes of the two of them lit up when they listened, this kind of production method, let alone seen it, the entire Daling had never heard of it.
However, after all the main roads are repaired in this way, whether it is the development of Yongzhou or the establishment of the Chamber of Commerce, it will have great benefits.
Just imagining it, Hu Changping is excited.
Nan Jinci looked at Murong Qin, who was calm and confident, and had to sigh again at the wise decision of the prince, their fiefdom had a little highness, which was comparable to thousands of troops.
It will be difficult for the fiefdom in the future not to prosper.
If the prince had not been exiled, such an outstanding little highness would definitely be the heir to the next throne, and it is conceivable that one day with the presence of the little highness, the Great Tomb Kingdom would surely become the most powerful and developed of the four kingdoms.
It's a pity....
The emperor's old eyes are dizzy, the royal family does not know people clearly, mistakenly takes fish eyes as pearls, and abandons the jade as a piece of jade, this kind of behavior is really chilling, if the royal family and the court awaken one day, I don't know if the intestines will be repentant?
Just thinking about it, Murong Qin's voice pulled him back to reality.
"Uncle Nan, Uncle Hu, is there a separate hill in the Yamen? I want people to plant some flowers and plants. Murong Qin said again.
"Oh, what are these flowers and plants doing?" Hu Changping hurriedly asked.
If it was someone else, it would be fine, but His Royal Highness is different, and when he asks this, he must have thought of some good idea to make a fortune.
Hu Changping and Nan Jinci looked at her excitedly and expectantly, and looked at Murong Qin with a burst of amusement,
"... After the establishment of the Chamber of Commerce, I plan to launch a series of perfumes, so I need a variety of flowers and plants, try a mountain first, if the follow-up is not enough, we will expand it. Although
neither of them had ever heard of it, but they never questioned Murong Qin's decision, Hu Changping suddenly laughed and said
, "Your Highness, we don't have much in Daling Kingdom, but there are mountains, especially here in Luozhou and Yongzhou, there are mountains everywhere, if you want, you can have as many as you want, you can choose whatever you want, you can choose whichever you want, in your own words, just call your territory your decision!"
Murong Qin said this unintentionally, but he didn't expect it to be ridiculed by Hu Changping.
She suddenly bent her eyebrows and answered, "Then thank you Uncle Nan!"
After solving the matter of the mountain, now only the people who take care of the flowers and plants are left, but this matter is urgent, and it can only be said later.
Hu Changping instructed his subordinates to prepare for the recruitment of male workers, and Murong Qin was still waiting to return to Canghe Village, but before going back, she went to the sapper workshop again.
First, I wanted to ask about the construction of the blast furnace left before leaving.
Second, in view of the fact that some tools are needed to make cement, she told Gu Lao the items she needed.
However, everything else is easy to say, but she can only roughly describe the shape and function of the polished equipment to Gu Lao according to the shape and function she has seen in later generations.
Although Gu Lao had never heard of such a thing, he was very talented in this area, and he was the person who followed Shangguan Yunque, the number one Yanshi in the world, after carefully understanding the principle of the polisher she said, he went into the house to write and paint, and never came out.
