I am engaged in construction in Datang

"disinfect?"

"Brother, it's easy for people to have a fever after being injured. That's because the pathogens enter the body through the wounds. In order to protect ourselves, our bodies will take a series of self-help measures, among which fever is the body's way of fighting the pathogens. When we no longer have a high fever, the body will naturally pass the most dangerous time. But sometimes the pathogens are too strong, our wounds will fester and pus will flow, and the body will have repeated high fevers. Many people can't survive this."

Li Shimin nodded and said: "I have seen that most of the soldiers on the battlefield did not die from bleeding wounds, but from the fever that followed."

"But what if we kill most of the evil poison at the wound so that they cannot enter the body? What do you think, brother?"

Li Shimin's eyes lit up. It turned out that the evil poison could kill people in advance?

"Then many soldiers in the world will not be afraid of their wounds festering!" Li Shimin was so excited that he wanted to clap his hands and applaud. At that time, my army will be even more invincible!

"That's it." Li Yin pushed the bowl of alcohol in front of Li Shimin: "Alcohol."

"Okay!" Li Shimin took a whiff, and the smell rushed straight to his brows. He felt dizzy and blurted out: "What reward does my sister want?"

"..." Li Yin stared at Li Shimin silently.

Li Shimin's head cooled down and he gradually calmed down, and the two of them understood each other tacitly.

"Brother, it's not that I don't have a solution, but the production of alcohol consumes too much grain, which is very serious. We shouldn't overproduce it now." Li Yin didn't intend to give the production steps yet, as it would be easy for Li Shimin to leak them.

At present, high-yield potatoes have not yet been introduced, so we can only use grains for production, which is too costly.

Li Shimin thought about it and understood.

There was no stability around him.

During the Wude period, his father tried to ban alcohol, but unfortunately he met with too much opposition and the plan ended in nothing.

He actually wanted to ban alcohol, but he knew it was not feasible, so he never mentioned it.

Chang'an City was prosperous, but people in other places were mostly hungry and poorly clothed. Coupled with successive years of disasters, life would only become more difficult for the people.

If a thief had a way to make a large amount of alcohol and sell it to the Turks...

Zhuangzi is still the best, the people there don’t have so many tricks.

That Zhao Erniu dares to call me his brother.

My sister-in-law told me that everyone in the village knows everything about me and they can’t survive without me.

For example, the tenants were all tenants who had rented the fields on the farm for generations and had lived in the farm since childhood. Later, the old owner only left 15 loyal households and ten servants, such as Xiaochun, Xiaosong and the others, who were all bought from the boy when they were three or four years old. Not to mention Feng Sanxi, who was a baby picked up by the old owner on the roadside. He was still breastfeeding when he came and took the surname Feng from the deceased old lady.

Only Wang Dahai and Wang Erya are outsiders, but they have no access to these things. Wang Dahai is the head craftsman. In the future, the village will recruit people to build cement houses and produce cotton-fluffing machines, and want him to be a technical instructor. After all, he knows these structures.

Moreover, Wang Dahai and Wang Erya’s household registration were handled by Zhuangzi. If he wants to leave, Zhuangzi has plenty of ways to deal with him.

But these things are not a problem, Zhuangzi is not afraid of them being spread outside.

Li Shimin thought for a moment and said, "Sister, your farm is too important. I am worried if no one is guarding it."

If a group of thieves came and robbed the farm, he would faint from crying.

Li Yin showed an embarrassment at the right moment: "Brother, I also want to hire some people to protect me, but I am worried. What if there is something wrong with the people I hire..."

"Just leave my sister to me. Those people are not allowed to enter the manor and interfere in the affairs of the manor. They are only allowed to guard outside." Li Shimin said, "If anyone disobeys the advice of the manor and insists on breaking in, they will be killed."

"Thank you, brother." Li Yin raised her teacup. Li Shimin came up and said, she was worried about the poor defense of the village.

Li Shimin also raised his teacup, and the two smiled at each other and toasted.

"Sister, I just saw a lot of people in the fields, holding the plow and reading books. Could it be that the students in the village also need to plow the fields?"

“Brother, in the farm, those who read books are not necessarily students, and those who till the land are not necessarily farmers.” Li Yin asked Feng Sanxi to bring the book “Planting of Common Crops (I)” and handed it to Li Shimin.

"Brother, take a look. The book describes how to plant ginger and select ginger seeds." Li Yin turned to the page about ginger planting and handed it to Li Shimin.

"Ginger likes warmth and requires good drainage. It is not suitable for continuous planting. The ginger field should be plowed in winter before the New Year, and dug 67 centimeters (about two feet) deep. The second deep plowing should be done before and after the rain in the following year..." Li Shimin couldn't help but read it out loud, surprised: "Is what the book says true? Planting ginger actually requires turning the ground three times! I used to turn the ground once before planting! How long is this centimeter?"

This time Feng Sanxi asked Xiaosong to help him move things, such as rulers, measuring cylinders, and scales...

There were a lot of things to do, and Wang De went over to help.

"Brother, if farmers cannot read, they will not be able to read agricultural books and will not know how to farm. They can only work hard. How much crops can they produce? And how much will be lost?" Li Yin also helped Feng Sanxi carry the measuring tools.

"If students don't know how to farm, they will only talk about military affairs on paper like Zhao Kuo, and don't know how to adapt to local conditions. How can they teach the people to farm when they become officials one day?"

"Good!" Li Shimin was excited again, picked up the teacup and drank it all in one gulp: "What a paper talk!"

He rolled up his sleeves and quickly walked to Li Yin's side: "Put it down, sister. This thing is too heavy. Let me carry it."

If Li Shimin is willing to do it, Li Yin will naturally do it.

Besides, she was a girl less than 14 years old, with as little strength as a sesame seed. Why should she compete with several adult men for work?

There are indeed many measuring instruments, after all, each one has many different ranges.

After moving all the things, the four of them sat down again. Three of them drank tea, but Wang De didn't have time to drink because he had to take notes.

"Therefore, the masters of the farm have to go to night school every night, mainly to learn literacy and arithmetic. In the afternoon, the students have to plow the fields, feed poultry and large animals, and clean the barns."

"Hey...you are all wearing the same." Li Shimin looked at the shorts on Li Yin. Oh, Manager Feng is different. In addition to taking care of the village affairs every day, Manager Feng also has to negotiate business with merchants.

He is very busy, so he doesn't have time to change clothes all the time!

"If I hadn't talked to you, I really wouldn't be able to tell which ones were farmers and which ones were students. After some time, even if I talked to you, I wouldn't be able to tell them apart!"

Li Yin interrupted at the right time: "Except Uncle Erniu."

Li Shimin: "..."

Wang De: "..."

I will not bother with my sister.

He had a blank expression on his face and was thick-skinned to the end.

Li Shimin once again ignored Li Yin's teasing and said, "In fact, officials should be like this. They should not only know how to read, but also understand farming. Only in this way can they help the people increase their grain production."

"Sister, now I am more curious about these measuring instruments you mentioned."

Li Yin couldn't wait to talk about this, and immediately took out a ruler and said, "This is the ruler used in Zhuangzi. This small section is one centimeter..."
