I am engaged in construction in Datang

Everyone discussed matters and drank tea until the moon became bright and the stars were sparse, then they reluctantly went back to their rooms.

Just as Li Yin said, asking the people to build biogas digesters is easy to solve, but the difficult part is to deal with the people who rely on selling firewood and charcoal for a living.

But economic development cannot be rushed. Just like the factories that Zhuangzi cooperated with other businessmen, only a few of them are profitable now, and everyone is just taking money out.

If the women were asked to manage all these businesses themselves, they would probably have become poor and destitute by now.

"What kind of industry is suitable for Hebei Road?" Li Yin thought as he walked on the road.

"Raising cattle, jujubes, chestnuts, fungus... Seafood fishing is quite profitable, but it's dangerous. Why not do vertical agriculture?"

There are many things that can make money, but unfortunately the productivity is not enough. All the talk is empty talk. If everyone grows dates and chestnuts, then there will not be enough energy to grow grain.

She did what she said. The next day, Li Yin asked people to prepare cotton and linen and make fishing nets.

"Sister-in-law, are you making fishing nets?" Li Shimin and others woke up and walked around the farm.

"Yes, business is booming day and night, and transplanting rice seedlings is the best time. Now is a good time. I plan to catch some crabs and raise them in the paddy fields while transplanting rice seedlings."

Li Yin asked Zhao Erniu to take people to the mountain to catch two wild boars, and then bleed them and soak them in hemp nets.

“Can crabs be raised in paddy fields?”

"Of course, but we need to pay attention to more things. How deep should the water in the paddy field be? How to supply nutrients to the crabs? How to ensure sufficient oxygen in the water? How to prevent and treat hard shell downy mildew, etc."

Li Shimin and his companions felt dizzy after hearing what they heard. What is oxygen? What is hardshell downy mildew?

He understood every word, but had no idea what they were saying when they were put together.

"What's the harvest of this planting method?" Fang Xuanling didn't understand other things, but he could still understand the yield.

"Rice production will not decrease. Crab feces can provide fertility for rice seedlings. In this way, we will not only harvest food in autumn, but also fat crabs to eat. Zhuangzi will make some crab sauce and send it to my brother and the adults."

Everyone was drooling.

The food cooked on the farm sounds delicious.

"What is this, recycling!" Li Shimin said, "I have never thought of growing crops and raising crabs like this before, and no farmers have ever proposed it."

"Brother, the people don't dare to use crops for experiments!" Li Yin disagreed with Li Shimin's statement. As long as the people are not afraid of not having food to pay taxes for food, everyone can find any method for you.

Don't underestimate the wisdom of the working people!

"My sister is right. Only Zhuangzi dares to do this." Li Shimin nodded: "Are there any other methods of circular planting?"

"There are so many!"

Li Yin asked the tenant farmer nearby to untie the knot of the net that had just been tied and tie it again. The mesh was too big to hold the small crabs, and too small for the big crabs to get in.

"In two days, the village will dig a pond and use mud from the river as the bottom. Then we will raise loaches in the mud and frogs in the pond. We will plant fruit trees by the pond to protect it from the wind, raise earthworms in the soil to fertilize the land, and raise ducks under the trees."

"Once the grape seedlings are moved here, we will build a rack above the pond and plant grapes." Li Yin stood up and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

The weather in June is hot and a bit unbearable.

She wanted to wear short sleeves, but was afraid of scaring others, so she could only wear a single layer of shorts and roll up her sleeves and trouser legs.

Even so, at the beginning, Uncle Sanxi always condemned her with his eyes.

"Brother, this is a multi-cycle ecology." Li Yin said to herself: "Loaches eat frog feces and rotten grape leaves, frogs eat insects and plankton attracted by plants, fruit trees beside the pond provide windbreak and heat preservation, and duck feces can fertilize the land to grow grapes."

Everyone was so tired after listening to this. How much can they gain by then?

Frogs, loaches, grapes, fruits, ducks...

"My sister is so talented!" Li Shimin praised her, and couldn't help but say: "If all the officials in the court were like my sister, the strength of the Tang Dynasty would definitely be three levels higher."

"..."Why did Fang Xuanling and the others on the side start to sweat on their foreheads?

Sure enough, Li Shimin asked, "Do you have any idea of ​​becoming an official in the court, sister?"

Wei Zheng was quick-witted and grabbed Li Shimin's sleeve. He opened his mouth but did not dare to reveal Li Shimin's identity in front of Li Yin.

After asking this question, Li Shimin felt a little regretful that he was impulsive. He thought this matter should have been asked in private.

"Don't!" Li Yin shuddered all over and was almost scared to death.

She really hates being bounded. It was just a coincidence that she became a doctor in her previous life, and now she is asked to become an official in this life?

Don't even think about it!

"Brother, it's not because of etiquette, but I am free and unrestrained, and I'm afraid I'm not suitable to serve in the court." Li Yin bowed to several people.

"However, I have always thought that it is a pity to keep women trapped at home." Li Yin shook her head and sighed: "They are all labor force..."

“……” Several people were speechless.

So in Li Yin's eyes, there is no difference between men and women, only the ability to work.

"Brother, gentlemen, please think about this. If women were allowed to work outside, would your shops still lack servants to look after them? These jobs are not heavy, and women can do them well."

The hemp net had been woven over there, and the villagers brought over several large buckets of pig blood, and Li Yin and others started to soak the hemp net in it.

"Besides, the weaving work done by women at home will definitely be replaced by faster machines in the future. What will the young ladies do at home then?"

Li Shimin and his companions were speechless and could not think of any rebuttal for a moment.

"When women go out to work, who knows what kind of trouble they might get into!" Xiao Yu didn't like what Li Yin said. He felt that when women went out, there would be trouble.

"Besides, what can they, a group of women, understand?"

This time Wei Zheng did not cover Xiao Yu's mouth. He had no right to interfere in the affairs of the women's farm. This was the farm of the owner Li. But if he wanted all the women in the world to go out to work...

This is a mess!

He and his wife have supported each other through thick and thin, from poverty to today. Although they cannot be said to completely understand each other, they have at least shared intimate conversations for decades.

He knew how his wife scolded those unfaithful men, and he always envied the one from the old Fang family who dared to speak and act.

If women were allowed to earn money on their own...

It's not impossible, it's just that the conditions are not there right now.

Wei Zheng was just about to speak and state his position when he saw Li Yin actually nodded.

"Mr. Yu has a point." Li Yin nodded. She liked to give scores based on a 100-point system.

"So we just need to maintain the status quo and develop steadily." Li Yin smiled brightly at the few people, especially at Xiao Yu: "I also think it's not good to suddenly ask women to go out to work!"

I don’t know what happened, but everyone felt a chill down their spine.

"I just wasted so much labor before."

Li Yin continued to smile and called her a little girl: "By the way, brother, all the adults, there are a few new knitting machines in the village. I will take you to have a look later."

The knitting machine is not difficult to make. At that time, people on the plateau could even rub the wool by hand.

"Sister Xiaochun wrote to me yesterday, saying that Yiwu has been found. I think it won't be long before Datang will have a lot of wool."

What is a knitting machine? What does it have to do with wool?

Li Shimin and his companions always felt their hair stand on end.
