Chapter 839

Zhang Xiu said, "have you roughly checked the coal and stone reserves in Hanchang county?"

"No!"

FA Zheng shook his head and said, "Yan Yan told me the origin of coal and stone in Hanchang county. After he said that, he immediately went to investigate, and then brought back some coal and stone. We haven't had time to look into the details. "

Zhang Xiu said, "let's go and have a look at the scene."

"Here it is

The law is directly responding to the law.

Zhang Xiu is willing to see it in person, which is the best result. This is the coal mine that Zhang Xiu went to personally. At that time, Fazheng set up a shop to manage it in the name of the government. No one dared to say anything.

Even in the face of coal and stone in Nanyang County, he is competitive, which is Fazheng's plan.

Zhang Xiu and FA Zheng, together with Wang Yue, Shi a, Deng Zhan and other royal guards, leave the camp and go straight to the location where the coal and stone are.

The journey of 30 Li didn't take long for Zhang Xiu and others who were racing all the way. When they arrived at the site, they went straight into the mountain.

There are not many dense woods in this mountain, and there are many weeds and small trees on the mountain.

Zhang Xiu came to the coal mining site and looked at it carefully.

The coal mines in the mountains are very shallow indeed.

A hoe down, enough to dig out coal and stone, and excellent color.

After checking, Zhang Xiu changed four positions one after another, all around the neighborhood. After checking every location, it can also be easily dug out.

Such a situation, Zhang Xiu is happy.

Now, there is another coal stone.

When every item comes out, countless people don't understand it. But with the use of more people, gradually will find a variety of uses. Nowadays, the use of coal and stone is extremely simple, either heating in winter or smelting weapons. As time goes on, Zhang Xiu believes that it will speed up quickly.

Shia has been following. He's a bit bored.

He doesn't have the energy to do these things.

I'm not interested.

He is now Wang Yue's deputy. What he thinks about in his mind is how to make the royal guards be reused. He had nothing to do. He looked around as he walked down.

Just in front of him, Fazheng and Zhang Xiu stopped to observe the coal and stone. Wang Yue, Shi a and Deng Zhan also stopped.

Shi ah looked at the weeds not far away from the road. He didn't know what he was in a daze.

All of a sudden, a brilliant light flashed through his eyes. He looked like a spectator. He took three steps forward, squatted down, and waved, "old Deng, come on, you come here."

"What's the matter?"

Deng Zhan went over with some doubts.

Shia pointed to a plant in front of him and said, "look at this plant, it's a bit strange."

Deng Zhan said, "Shi, you are so bored. You are so busy. Even an unknown weed in the mountain can be looked up to. If it were me, I wouldn't look at it at all. "

Shia said: "when it's OK, it's good to find something to pass the time. Look at the weeds and trees around me. I can name them, but I don't know them. "

While they were chatting, Wang Yue came over. When he saw the plant that Shi a was staring at, he slapped Shi a on the back of his head and said, "stupid, I don't think about the things of the royal guards. I only know how to look at the messy things."

Shi Ashan smiles.

But Deng Zhan laughed.

At this time, Zhang Xiu and FA are preparing to return. Zhang Xiu hears Wang Yue's words and comes over. But when he saw a plant in front of Shia, his face looked surprised.

The look in my eyes is even more brilliant.

Sweet potato seedlings!

This plant in front of us is not anything else, but the branches and leaves of sweet potato.

Zhang Xiu learned about sweet potato in later generations.

It's really a high-yield crop.

It's easy to cultivate, it's easy to grow, and it's very productive. However, according to Zhang Xiu's understanding, sweet potato is not a native product, but a species from South America. In the late Ming Dynasty, sweet potato was introduced into China and gradually popularized.

Now, what happened in Hanchang county?

However, Zhang Xiu did not tangle these.

Just sweet potatoes.

What's more, he can come back from later generations. There is a sweet potato seedling in Hanchang County, which is not more strange than his crossing. Zhang Xiu didn't investigate the reason.

It doesn't make sense.

Anyway, if he saw it, it would be the best to make use of it.

Because the yield of sweet potato is very high, as long as it is cultivated and then popularized on a large scale, it can play a big role and make countless people no longer hungry.

For future generations, they don't worry about food and drink, and they don't think sweet potato is something rare. But in this era, there is no hybrid rice, no corn, no potatoes, etc., and relying on wheat, rice, corn, etc., is not enough to support the people's rations.

Today's people are not in pursuit of eating well.Just want to have enough.

Zhang Xiu knew the yield of sweet potato, and her heart was full of passion, but she was a little distracted.

Fazheng saw that Zhang Xiu was stunned and said, "Your Highness, do you have anything special about this plant for a long time?"

Zhang Xiu returned to her senses, laughed and said, "heaven helps me, heaven helps me!"

Fazheng is confused.

Wang Yue was even more confused.

Shia blinked. He was not sure why, but he was a little excited. Because he found this plant. Despite the current situation, he did not know what was going on.

In short, he only knew that Zhang Xiu was very happy, which was enough.

But see Zhang Xiu squat down, touch sweet potato leaves, that gentle action, as if touch beloved woman general. He said with emotion: "this plant is not simple. I'm afraid it's the only one in the world. This plant can solve countless people's stomach problems, make people full and no longer be threatened by hunger. "

"Ah

Fazheng was the first to exclaim.

He looked surprised and said, "Your Highness, can't it be? It's impossible for such a plant to solve the problem of food and clothing for people all over the world! I have never seen a plant that can solve the stomach problem of people all over the world. It's not a supernatural saying. It can keep people from eating. "

Zhang Xiu said: "Xiaozhi, you don't understand. I don't blame you. The name of this thing is sweet potato. By August and September, the leaves will turn yellow and mature. His roots, that is, fruits, grow in the soil. They can harvest a lot and yield a lot. "

After a pause, Zhang Xiu asked, "in Yizhou, are there any craftsmen who can grow vegetables in greenhouses?"

Now what Zhang Xiu needs is a greenhouse.

It's like a greenhouse. He's going to start building it. When the sweet potato in front of us matures, we use its rhizome to germinate in the soil, and then begin to cut seedlings and plant them on the ground, so as to produce sweet potato in the way of greenhouse.

In fact, as early as the Western Han Dynasty, there were shaped greenhouses that could grow off-season vegetables.

Only at this time, mainly rely on earthworm fire.

Under this premise, Zhang Xiu with the help of today's greenhouse, constantly planting sweet potato, making sweet potato growing. It only takes one year for Zhang Xiu to harvest a lot of sweet potatoes. Next year, he will be able to plant them on a large scale without greenhouse.

"Yes!"

Fazheng answered directly.

Zhang Xiu said, "let's go back to the city. You can find all the people for me."

"Here it is

Fazheng nodded.

Zhang Xiu looked at Shi a and said, "Shi a, stay here and watch this sweet potato seedling carefully. In addition, I asked Deng Zhan to stay. Deng Zhan looked around to see if there were such sweet potato seedlings. Take this seriously. If there is a little problem, I will take off your dog's head. "

"Here it is

Shi a responded directly.

In his heart, however, he wondered whether such a "sweet potato" could really satisfy himself?

He is skeptical.

Zhang Xiu glanced at the crowd and saw the expressions of astonishment and even doubt. She didn't explain anything. Because the more complicated the explanation, the more persuasive it is.

The party hurried back. Fazheng immediately arranged for people in Hanchang County who could make greenhouses and grow food in them.
