Autumn is high and cool, and yellow leaves are flying.
The persimmons were red, the soybeans were ripe, and the serfs and long-term workers of the Li family harvested the soybeans in the field and dried them one by one.
Everywhere is the joy of the harvest.
Dad grabbed a handful of knocked beans and said with satisfaction, "These soybeans are good, big and full." ” Li Chao and a few leaders are estimating this year's soybean harvest, which are all soybeans planted in the paddy fields after the summer rice harvest, and the current harvest is gratifying.
In the second half of the year, the water volume of the Whale Gully Reservoir decreased, but there were waterwheels that watered the soybeans at a critical time, so the soybeans were full and large.
"I guess there are two stones."
One smiled and said that he had planted crops all his life, and his estimation was more accurate.
"In the past, we had only a few buckets of soybeans per acre.
Those who can produce a stone are all incredible, and they are still fertile land.
And in our land, rice was also planted in the first half of the year. ” "Our land is fertile enough, and we apply so much fertilizer every year, and the bottom fertilizer and top dressing are sufficient.
And there has never been a shortage of water, and the yield is naturally high, not to mention that our bean seed has also been specially cultivated. ” The Li family's land is different from other people's homes, and the Li family grows flowers when they farm the land.
Have you ever seen a lot of money spent every year to cultivate seeds, and it is estimated that there is no one who knows so well about the use of fertilizer, and does not know how much fertilizer is applied every year.
The labor and cost are very sufficient.
"In the first half of the year, we plant rice, soybeans in the second half of the year, and we can plant a season of radishes in the winter.
It's amazing. ” "Yes, it's rare to have a good output every year."
If the ordinary land had been planted like this, the yield would have been reduced or even no harvest would have been lost.
"At the end of the day, you still have to give in to ensure the strength of the earth.
If you don't fertilize it, you can't afford it.
How much fertilizer do we put into the field every year, one load at a time, and we continue to top dress.
One of them said with a smile.
"Actually, the key is to change the species."
Li Chao told several leaders, "If we plant rice or corn in a row, we will be prone to diseases."
Therefore, we have to plant one season of rice, one season of beans, and another season of radish.
Moreover, there is another benefit of planting soybeans, planting soybeans can actually increase fattening. ” "What is the reason?"
There are also humanitarians, "I find that this seems to be the case." ” Soybeans have legume rhizome in their roots, which help to fertilize the land.
"In half a month, the oil mill can start extracting oil."
In recent years, the oil mills of the Li family are also all over the country, every harvest season, a large number of soybeans, rapeseeds, tea seeds, sesame, the people used to be generally cooking vegetables and stews, but in recent years, the steel production has increased greatly, the price of the iron pot has fallen, thousands of households have also used the iron pot, accustomed to stir-frying, the demand for this oil has also increased.
Animal oil can be used for cooking, but vegetable oil is needed for stir-frying, and it is not suitable to stir-fry vegetables with mutton fat lard.
The large increase in demand has also made the oil industry bigger and bigger, and the oil residue can be used to make soap and soap, and the soybean cake can be used as feed and fertilizer for the field.
"Longyou Hetao and other places, you can promote more rape, we can sign a purchase contract with the local people, set the purchase price, and book first.
You can also pay a little deposit first, so that our rapeseed quantity can be guaranteed.
In places such as Guanzhong and Hebei, it is necessary to have a variety of soybeans. ” In recent years, the lives of the people have changed a lot, and the demand for oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, sugar, etc. has also increased greatly.
The Li family's oil industry now has many competitors, the opponents are small in scale, but the number is large, in order to compete for rapeseed and other raw materials, the Li family can only use the order method.
"San Lang, won't the family's grain be sold this year?"
asked a steward.
"Not for sale" The Li family is a large landowner, with a large number of frontier fiefdoms, and at the same time, there are also many fields in the Central Plains.
Every year, the Li family produces a large amount of grain, and in the past, it was sold.
The Li family is also a big grain merchant themselves, but they don't hoard much grain.
However, Li Chao does not plan to sell any more grain this year.
"We build our own granaries and store our grain."
"San Lang, grain prices have been very stable in the past two years, and they can't go up at all.
At present, the price of grain is still stabilized by the continuous purchase of grain by the imperial court.
There's no need to hoard food," one of the stewards asked.
After several years of bumper harvests, coupled with a large amount of land colonized by the imperial court, the amount of cultivated land in the imperial court has increased year after year, coupled with new farming technology, water conservancy technology, and the increase in the number of livestock, new agricultural tools, excellent seeds, etc., so that now Datang not only has a large increase in cultivated land, but also the yield per mu and total output of grain is also rising.
A bumper grain harvest is not a good thing for the people who farm the land, because it means that the grain is in a buyer's market, the supply exceeds the demand, and the price of grain will inevitably drop significantly.

Fortunately, the imperial court has a grain storage plan, and the grain has a protective price.
Once the price of grain in the market fell to this line, the imperial court would buy a large amount of grain at a protective price and store it in granaries one by one.
Nowadays, the imperial court has established countless granaries of all sizes on the two major canals in the east and west, as well as the Yangtze River, the Yellow River, the Huai River and the coast, and such as Hanjing, Chang'an, Taiyuan, Jiangling, Guangzhou, Dengzhou, Hangzhou, Jiaozhou, which have a population of more than 100,000, have never stopped hoarding grain.
These are all official acts, in order to have food in their hands and not be short in their hearts.
Even in the event of a catastrophe, the imperial court can also have grain to pull, and can protect the first time that there is grain in the nearest place.
At the same time, under the leadership of the imperial court, the local shecang and yicang are also increasing grain reserves every year.
According to the requirements of the imperial court, it is hoped that the granaries in various places will reach a considerable number of grains.
What kind of impressive numbers The official stock needs to last for nine years.
This is also the longest time that the grain has been preserved in the granary of the imperial court today, and if it is to be preserved for a longer time, it can only be stored in the underground grain cellar.
Anyway, the court has money, so don't you have to keep it if you have it Of course, it is worth exchanging the tax bills collected from the treasury for a warehouse of grain.
Now doing a grain business, there is really no profit to be made, and no matter how big the grain merchant is, it is not as big as the imperial court.
The imperial court is now the largest grain merchant, and what they have in their hands is money.
Granaries are everywhere, and wherever they need grain, they can quickly adjust grain to calm the market.
Now many people are smart enough to start planting soybeans, rape, cotton, and even vegetables, just because the income is higher.
"It is precisely because the price of grain is stable now that it cannot be sold at a good price, so we no longer sell our grain and save it ourselves."
Li Chao said casually.
Come back from the fields.
Dad asked Li Chao, "What are you doing with the grain?"
The words are full of worry, my father is a person who came over in troubled times, and he accumulates food, in his opinion, this is the same as recruiting troops.
"Accumulate grain and prepare for famine."
Li Chao smiled and said, "Anyway, the price of grain is not high now, so we will accumulate his nine-year grain first." ” "It's good now, don't make any more waves."
Daddy persuaded.
"I know."
It's almost October and a half.
This is also the day when the envoys of the Chaoji enter Beijing, and Li Chao, as a vassal, naturally has to enter Beijing.
Although Li Chao didn't want to enter Beijing, there was no reason to avoid returning to Beijing.
"Is it safe to go back this time?"
In the evening, after the couple made love, they lay down and chatted.
Cui Yingying still has some lingering palpitations about what happened some time ago.
Although it is said that Hanjing is calm now, who knows what will happen at the end of the year.
"It should be safe."
Li Chao pillowed his arm.
"Will they also return to Beijing this time?"
After Ma Zhou and a large number of other high-ranking officials were demoted from Beijing, most of them held positions such as assassination.
Speaking of which, it is not bad, he has not been charged with any crimes such as forming a party and plotting rebellion, but he was demoted on the grounds that he was unfavorable, and he can still serve as a regular seal official when he arrives in the locality.
"Ma Zhou is a history of assassination, so naturally he wants to return to Beijing Chaoji, and those officials who have been demoted to Changshi, Sima, county orders, etc., will not come back."
"San Lang, I'm so worried, so many people have returned to Beijing, I'm afraid that there will be chaos again."
Li Chao shook his head.
This was not only the gathering of magistrates in Beijing, but also the first meeting of the two houses of parliament.
No one knows what will happen this time.
But Li Chao still felt that it was impossible for Li Shimin to do anything again this time.
Some things don't just go as you want.
"What did you say about being so dignified, why did Your Majesty go crazy last time, why did you belittle so many people," Cui Yingying sighed.
"Because of power."
Li Chao said bluntly, "The prince has grown up, but he is no longer obedient to the emperor, the prince has his own ideas, and even has his own group of supporters."

And when the emperor found out about this, he was terrified and frightened. ” "Why should Your Majesty be frightened, the crown prince is his son."
"Then why did you forget how you became the prince today, how you became the emperor's Xuanwu Sect Three days later, Your Majesty became the prince.
But how long this prince has been in office is only a few months, and when he masters the court, the emperor can only abdicate and become the emperor. ” That's how naked the essence of the matter is.
The crown prince can be excellent, but the prince can't threaten the emperor, otherwise, even if it is a father and son of the heavenly family The better the crown prince, the easier it is to be guessed, and the emperor allows the prince to have a power of his own, but this force must not be too strong.
Previously, when Cheng Qian forcibly passed the parliamentary edict, Li Shimin was shocked to find that the prime ministers knew that the emperor would not agree to this matter, but in the end it was passed by 17 to 5.
Twenty-two prime ministers in Beijing, and only five stood on his side In other words, in fact, at this time, the crown prince already had the strength to abolish him.
This is what frightened him the most, and this is the reason why he risked ousting half of the prime ministers at once with the power of thunder and belittled thousands of officials in the capital at once.
The emperor was only forty years old, how could he really cede power to the crown prince. said before that the prince would be in charge of the country, but it was just that the prince could listen to him, and the court situation was still under his control.
The emperor never wanted to really be a useless emperor like Li Yuan.
"Then isn't it still dangerous for you to enter Beijing this time?"
Li Chao shook his head.
"You don't understand, although the emperor is suspicious of the crown prince, he is afraid of the strength in the prince's hands.
But after the last time, the prince's power has been hit, and the officials have also been warned.
The emperor and the crown prince are not enemies, all the emperor needs is the prince under his control, as long as the prince does not threaten him, the emperor will not kill the prince. ” And after the last purge, the crown prince can no longer threaten the emperor. t1706231537:
