"The rake is so deep. Will the worms freeze to death after digging them out?"
In Princess Yongmu's Zhuangzi's 20 mu of idle land in winter, the cows were raking the land.
According to the method written in the newspaper, soybeans should be planted with deep and shallow fertilizer at the same time.
The land used to raise bean worms obviously couldn't be plowed deeply. After shallow plowing, the crops were raked and planted with the bean machine invented by Li Yi.
They used the planting method without ridges, unless it was in places with a lot of precipitation. It was good for drainage.
When the bean sprouts grew, the worms would become moths. After mating, they would lay eggs on the bean leaves.
When the season came, Li Family Zhuangzi sent people to Princess Yongmu's place to give instructions.
The surrounding neighbors watched, and when they were done, they hurried back to follow the instructions.
Everyone knew that raising worms would reduce the yield of beans. However, worms were expensive and could be eaten.
There was no need to worry about not being able to sell them. Li Family Zhuangzi would buy them. It was more cost-effective than planting beans.
The cows in front raked while the people behind started planting.
Li Family Zhuangzi's people grabbed a handful of soil to check the moisture level and nodded. More people started planting beans.
"Beans need to be watered. There is not enough water in the soil now. Otherwise, the bean sprouts will fall. If the soil is dry, there will be no water, especially when it blooms. It will affect the yield of beans …"
Li Family Zhuangzi's people said to the neighbors. It was actually written in the newspaper. He emphasized it again to deepen the impression.
Normally, only lazy people would plant beans. After scattering the seeds, they didn't need to care about the harvest.
For example, in the Guanzhong area, after the snow melted in winter, they just needed to throw the beans. After that, they didn't need to care about anything.
In fact, they still needed to be watered during the blooming process to increase the yield per mu.
The neighbors grabbed a handful of soil to feel it. Some grabbed the soil and prepared to take it away to compare it with the soil in their own fields.
Now that they didn't need to raise silkworms, their work in the fields was relatively simple. It was easier to adjust their time.
The rest of their energy was put on raising worms to see if they could make a lot of money.
…
Drunken Immortal Residence hot spring.
"Brother Yi, with so many people raising insects, won't the price drop if there are too many insects?"
On the way to Lantian County, Li Longji saw some people planting beans, especially the unowned riverside area, which was occupied by others.
When the land was occupied, it had to be furrowed to prove that there was someone there. Otherwise, if the land was flat, who would know that you had planted it?
In addition to beans, he also planted perilla. Perilla was easier to grow than beans. Just sprinkle some seeds on it.
In the past, no one was willing to plant them. There were wild ones by the roadside, just like weeds.
Li Yi had written in the newspaper that if he planted some, it could be used to make salted vegetables. When he harvested the seeds, it could be used for medicinal purposes.
When the commoners saw this, they went around looking for seeds. The medicine shops had them, but they had to spend money.
Fortunately, the next day, the newspaper said that the Li Family Zhuangzi had given them some seeds. Take them and plant them. Remember to collect them when you're done.
There were different harvesting methods for different periods of time. Perilla leaves were delicious when used to make salted vegetables.
Among the Korean pickles, the perilla leaf was an indispensable ingredient.
There were also steamed sticky bean buns. Fearing that the bean buns would stick to the pot, he put them on the perilla leaf. After steaming, there was still the taste of perilla.
Li Longji did not know what was the use of having more perilla leaves. He started from a market economy. If there were more things, the price would be lower.
"I will set the price according to the nutritional value. When the price of meat and eggs is high, the price of worms will not be low, unless everything is lowered."
Li Yi was prepared to manipulate the price. If others wanted to buy the worms, they must pay more than the price offered by the Li Family Zhuangzi.
If anyone wanted to buy the worms at the same price, they would have to go to each family and collect the worms personally to save the transportation costs.
If the price was lowered, the commoners would not sell the worms. They would catch the worms themselves and send them to the Li Family Zhuangzi.
Li Longji nodded: "But it's possible that we can't sell them."
"It's okay. The worms can be raised in the soil. The people in Zhuangzi, foreigners, and captives can eat them.
If we eat the worms, we will save on other things. We will not lose anything.
I believe that there will be people selling snacks in the two cities. Whether you like to eat them or not depends on your habits. "
Li Yi had already thought about it. The biggest advantage of the bean worms was that they could sleep in the soil after they grew up.
Other things would rot in the soil, but the worms could be preserved.
"You still want to eat grape leaves?" Li Longji was worried about the grapes.
"You have to differentiate them. The bean worms are the Heavenly Bean Moth's worms. There is also a type of Heavenly Frost Moth's worm. Don't mix them up. Don't eat them blindly.
I need to print a special picture and print a separate newspaper. It will be divided into pieces and the content of each piece will be the same.
A newspaper can be cut into several copies of the same picture for the commoners to compare. "
Li Yi was afraid that people would mistake the two types of worms and eat them. What if they were allergic to the worms?
Li Longji was relieved. He stirred the water with his hands and many small bubbles rose.
"This spring is good. It can be drunk." Li Longji could not find the same spring water in his various hot springs. Some of them had small bubbles, but there were too few of them.
If it was someone else who owned a hot spring, he would have thought of ways to make it the royal family's.
"Actually, the commoners can't enjoy it at all. It's hard for them to even bathe themselves. How can they have the leisure to soak in the hot springs?
In some other places, the commoners nearby will bathe there. The commoners in Mount Li do not know how to climb the mountain. "
Li Yi lamented that the commoners' lives were not easy. He used his time as a comparison.
The commoners also did not have clean tap water to drink. They drank from the river. Although they did not seem to have any diseases, the chances of them having worms in their stomachs were still very high.
"You have to increase the planting of medicinal herbs. Otherwise, the Roundworm Dispelling Powder I gave you will be useless." Li Yi did not need to mention the Pagoda Candy anymore.
Everyone should eat the herbs together. The herbs had a method to treat roundworms. There were a few groups of them.
In the future, when the barbarians from overseas got the seeds of roundworm, they could mix it with other herbs or extract it using indigenous methods and distribute it to humans and animals in large quantities.
As long as it could be extracted and used, it could be used in traditional Chinese medicine.
Li Longji did not say anything. He looked at the water in front of him in a daze.
He was thinking about the many doctors in the capital who could treat the commoners at any time. There were also pharmacies.
The commoners of the Tang dynasty who lived in remote places could only pick up the herbs they were familiar with to cope with their illness.
How many people died because they could not see a doctor? These people could live for many more years.
After a long time, when Li Yi was sleepy and was about to go out, Li Longji spoke.
"Those who are willing to learn medicine should be given subsidies. As long as they want to learn, they will be given some money and food for a month. Then, they will be given more subsidies if they do well in the exams."
Li Longji had thought of a way to let more people learn medicine. When they start learning, they will be given money.
With money, they will be able to support their families without any worries.
In order to get more money, they will work hard and master the basic knowledge as soon as possible.
They will recruit students from all over the country. When they have learned enough, they will be released. They will be given a set of medical books and those who do not know how to read the medical books.
Even if they were quacks, it was better than not having any doctors in the area.
Once they graduate, the knowledge they have can at least save some people's lives.
At the same time, they will be asked to find a place to grow medicine in their hometown. Then, the medicine will be sent to each other.
