Chapter 1164: Grandpa Ma? Horse foreman!
In order to facilitate the care of sweet potatoes, Marin simply lived in the empty house on the side of Xiannongtan during this time to facilitate the care of sweet potatoes. Also, he intends to avoid the storm that fell on Liu Jin in August.
Since Ma Lin gave tens of thousands of silver to Liu Jin, his relationship with Liu Jin was relatively close. Although Liu Jin is greedy, he is willing to collect money. After receiving so much money from Marin, Liu Jin later saw that Marin was all smiling and kindly abnormal.
But Marin knew that as the anti-Liu Jin incident broke out in August, the close relationship between him and Liu Jin would become an unstable factor. Therefore, Marin simply hid in the farmer's court in the west of the city in the name of taking care of sweet potatoes.
The Xiannongtan was originally a place of royal sacrifice, and Marin, an outsider, could not easily enter. But Malin Jinxian's sweet potato was too important, and with Liu Jin's help, Zhengde only approved Malin to stay. However, in order to avoid falling behind, Marin did not dare to live in the palace of Xiannongtan, but lived in the dormitory area of ordinary duty officials of Xiannongtan.
When it's okay, Marin will personally come to the sweet potato area of "one acre and three points" to observe the growth of sweet potatoes. At the same time, get a pond nearby to process manure. The processing method is very simple, that is, the collected feces are mixed with the grass ash and fish pond river mud, and then put in the pond to get fat. However, the lid will be closed to prevent rainwater from entering the pool and dissolve the salt in the three fertilizers. These salts, including nitrate and potassium, are important fertilizer costs, and can not be washed away by rain. Moreover, the newly collected feces can not be sent directly to the field, otherwise it is easy to burn seedlings.
In addition to these three main fertilizers, Marin also allows people to add the cut grass and leaves to the pond and soak and ferment together. These dead grass and dead leaves originally contain various ingredients. If they are burnt, they will produce ash. Therefore, when these withered grass and leaves are rotten in the pond, they increase the fertility ...
Everything Marin did was recorded in detail by the agricultural officer sent by Daminghu Ministry, which will serve as an important reference for Daming to promote the cultivation of sweet potatoes in the future.
Now Marin seems to have really become a farmer, soaked in "one acre and three points of land" all day long. One day, after returning from the ground, Marin was drinking the royal wine bestowed by Zhengde.
As Marin thought, these royal wines are not high-grade wines that are popular in later generations, but ordinary low-medium wines. Among them, rice wine and rice wine are more. After all, in this era, the Ming Dynasty people were influenced by literati, and they didn't like high alcohol, but like ordinary literati sao, they like alcohol with lower degrees.
One day, when Marin was drinking, he suddenly remembered—when drinking, how good would he eat the yellow rice?
Then, Marin suddenly remembered that when he came to Daming, he seemed to have brought hundreds of pounds of peanuts. And these peanuts are indeed the best appetizers ...
So, Marin tried to send people back to the pier in Tianjin Weidagukou, and brought a few hundred pounds of peanuts on the ship to Beijing ...
Soon, hundreds of pounds of peanuts were delivered to Beijing. Marin didn't say anything this time, directly picked out some peanuts, made some fried peanuts with oil, and sprinkled some pepper and salt ...
Suddenly, a strong fragrance came from the palace dining room ...
The scent of fried peanuts is very rich, and it tastes very fragrant. All along, Marin feels that fried peanuts are the best appetizer. After tasting the outstanding representative of Bear Child, Zhengde, he quickly fell in love with this taste ...
In addition to ordinary peanut oil fried peanuts, Marin also made people take a little chili sauce from the ship and made spicy oil fried peanuts ...
In this way, two important foods, peanuts and chili, appeared in the Ming dynasty at once, and were quite valued by Emperor Zhengde.
Of course, in terms of meaning, peanuts and peppers cannot be compared with sweet potatoes and potatoes. However, if we talk about the popularity of the two, it must be more than sweet potatoes. Then, peanuts and peppers naturally became the second important crop ordered by Zhengde Emperor.
However, because there is not much time to sow now, Marin cannot sow now. Unless, you can build a warm house, so you don't care about the climate, you can grow peanuts and peppers as usual even in winter ...
...
At this time, the place of 9 Galapagos tortoises presented by Marin was also decided-they were placed in the Qinning Gate (Shunzhen Gate) near the Xuanwu Gate of the North Gate of the Forbidden City The temple ...
The Qin'an Temple houses the northern **** Xuantian God in Taoism, also known as Xuanwu Great Emperor, or Zhenwu Great Emperor. Of course, the Emperor Zhenwu was actually forced to change from "Xuanwu Emperor" to "Zhenwu Emperor" in order to avoid the name of "Xuan Ye" in the Qing Dynasty.
What is Xuanwu? It's a turtle! Therefore, these 9 Galapagos tortoises representing the black turtles, dedicated to the Qin'an Temple near the Xuanwu Gate in the northern part of the Forbidden City, are a great choice. After all, the Qin'an Temple was originally dedicated to the Emperor Xuanwu, and now it offers 9 mysterious turtles, which is very suitable.
But at this time, Marin suddenly remembered-bad, almost forgot the living habits of the Galapagos tortoise ...
...
After all, the Galapagos tortoise comes from a tropical tortoise near the equator ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ It's summer now, so it's easy to say. But when autumn and winter come, these turtles that have adapted to the tropical climate are likely to be frozen to death ...
And if it is frozen to death, it is a big deal ...
...
From the perspective of modern people, perhaps the Galapagos tortoise presented by Marin is far less practical than the high-yield sweet potato. However, in the superstitious ancient times, the top auspicious "Xuan Gui", which can make the emperor more "destined", is obviously more important than the more practical sweet potatoes ...
Marin suddenly started sweating on his forehead ...
So, Marin quickly went to Zhengde Emperor and asked for help to build a comfortable residence of "four seasons like spring" for 9 black turtles ...
...
What is "comfortable accommodation"? In fact, Marlin intends to build a glass greenhouse for 9 Galapagos tortoises. In this way, even if the cold winter in the north comes, there is no need to worry about 9 Galapagos tortoises freezing to death ...
Emperor Zhengde was a very curious bear child. After seeing Marin's application, he quickly let them go from the Xiannongtan to the Qin'an Temple in the Forbidden City. Then, he ran in person to observe how Marin helped 9 "Mysterious Turtles" to build a comfortable residence of "Four Seasons Like Spring" ...
...
How can it be difficult to build a glasshouse? Marin sent people back to the ship to bring the flat glass fired from Taiwan to the capital. On the other hand, he brought a group of bricklayers from the Ministry of Industry to the Qin'an Temple to the north of the Forbidden City and began the construction of the glass greenhouse ... …
In order to ensure the success of the construction of the glass greenhouse, Marin personally entered the battle and directed the masons dispatched to build the glass greenhouse. That posture ... Marin changed directly from "Ma Gongye" into a professional "constructor" for building greenhouses ...
