Chapter 476: Nanban Victory (1/2)
The latest website: I also received dozens of catties of sweet potato and potato seeds. There are only a small handful of corn seeds, but they are enough for planting. We can continue to plant seeds in the coming year.
The Ministry of Household and Sinong Temple were afraid that they would be too busy after the new year, so they distributed the seeds to officials in advance along with the annual ceremony.
Start with several prefectures and prefectures near Kyoto.
The distribution needs to be completed before the spring ploughing, and the yamen who distribute it should specifically explain that it does not need to be planted on fertile fields, the seeds do not require much land, and the wasteland can be planted well.
The court was afraid that some poor people would not be willing to cultivate and eat the new crops, so the original plan was to be distributed free of charge and rented instead.
After the harvest, it must be handed back according to the amount issued, and then the imperial court will transport it to other provinces, prefectures and counties for promotion.
After all, the number is limited, and it needs to be promoted in each province, prefecture, and county, and it must be implemented first.
In addition, the harvest of new seeds in the first three years of planting does not need to pay taxes, which is more popular with the people.
The seeds that Pei Xiu brought back were stored separately, and they were handed over to Uncle Cheng after the beginning of spring, and asked him to plant them on Zhuangzi.
Pei Xiu also gave away the New Year's gifts from all parties, and received many gifts from others. After registering them in the warehouse one by one, she can also spend the New Year leisurely.
When Zhou Yong came back from work that day, he asked his mother if he had brought back his New Year's gift.
Pei Xiu said amusingly: "I got it, there are only a few things that you should be so concerned about. As soon as you come back, you will come and ask."
"Hey, of course, this is the first annual gift your eldest son earned."
She smiled and shook her head, "To eat your food today, I have instructed the kitchen to use your rice noodles to make steamed buns, and the meat is also braised."
"Okay, okay, let's put the meal, I'm hungry." Zhou Yong smirked.
Looking at the food served by the servants, he felt that today's food seemed to be extraordinarily sweet. After eating three bowls of rice and a big meat bun, he had to grab it again.
Pei Xiu patted his hand to stop him from eating, and then he stopped the chopsticks.
"You'll be going back to sleep in a while, don't eat too much."
"All right."
He sat bored and drank tea, waiting for the second and third to finish eating, so that they could go back together.
"Eat quickly."
"You have to chew and swallow slowly when you eat, what are you urging?" The third child was still eating slowly.
"I've eaten three bowls, and you haven't finished the second bowl yet."
The second child also said, "Brother, either you go back first, you don't have to wait for us."
"Then I won't wait for you, I'll go back and soak my feet first."
"I'll go back to my mother first." He got up and left after saying that.
Pei Xiu nodded.
It was dark early in the winter, and every time they came out after eating, it was already dark.
There were no other activities, so after eating, they went back to their houses to pack their blankets.
She put the wheat on the bed, let her play for a while before going to sleep, went to the desk to look at the calendar list, and crossed out today's date.
There are only a few days left, and this year is over.
The Chinese New Year is approaching, and Zhou Cheng has not celebrated the Chinese New Year at home for two years.
No news came back for months, and I don't know what happened to the war.
She just adjusted her mind and planned to comfort the children during the Chinese New Year, but she thought that there was good news on New Year's Eve this year.
