072: What a good boy

The common people who bought rapeseed oil used it to cook when they came home that day. Not to mention, the taste was particularly tempting, which made adults and children covet.

A total of less than 200,000 kilograms of rapeseed were harvested. During the oil pressing process, thousands of kilograms of waste rapeseed were removed. The remaining rapeseed only more than 40,000 kilograms of rapeseed oil were squeezed out.

Shengjing saved 20,000 kilograms, and the rest were sent to the prefectures. Although everyone could not eat rapeseed oil, the people at least knew that eating oil would be much more convenient in the future.

After this series of operations, Xie Lang had a net income of 2,000 taels of silver after 1,000 acres of rapeseed fields.

According to the later one tael of silver cost more than 30 yuan, the income this time was as high as more than 60,000 yuan, which seemed to be really not much, but this also requires consideration of the purchasing power of ancient times.

An ordinary family only eats a few meals of meat all year round, and can't spend two taels of silver a year.

A few days ago, Xie Lang had someone replanted peanuts. By autumn, peanuts could be used to squeeze oil.

If you rotate the seeds in a year, edible oil can be greatly alleviated. In less than two or three years, the people of the Great Zhou will no longer worry about edible oil.

Of course, there is no peanut crop in Dazhou now, but Xie Lang bought it from the system.

The oil yield of peanuts is higher than that of rapeseed, and of course, according to ancient oil pressing technology, it is not much higher.

The oil yield of rapeseed is less than 30%, and she is looking for the best oil presser in Dazhou. He has a unique oil pressing method, with an oil yield of around 2.5, and the oil yield of peanuts should be guaranteed to be 3.5. She is already very satisfied with this number.

Next year, people will plant potatoes and sweet potatoes, especially sweet potatoes, with high yields and vines that can be fed livestock, and their whole body is full of treasures.

Livestock in Dazhou are very scarce, and it is not that no one wants to get rich by raising more pigs and sheep, because people are not full, so there is no excess food for livestock to eat.

I believe that when there is enough food to fill my stomach, the people will start to think about ways to get rich. At least they can still raise more pigs and sheep. At that time, I think that they can improve their lives a lot.

After three months of extensive reconstruction, Shengjing City has completed five Yanhe Roads. At this time, four concrete roads leading to the city gate are being built. These four roads will become the main roads of Shengjing City, extending from the four palace gates of the Great Zhou Palace to the four city gates.

These four main roads are planned to be six lanes, and there is also a pedestrian road on both sides. Although it seems that such a wide road is not necessary, the Great Zhou is going to become a powerful country that attracts the world. The population will definitely increase gradually in the future, and the economy and trade will also prosper. If the road is narrow, it will be a problem sooner or later.

Many modern cities have shortcomings in this area, especially in downtown areas. Due to insufficient early planning, it is impossible to widen the road surface.

The first to be renovated was Dongcheng District. When the people here heard the news, they were happy to jump. Even if they knew that their house was to be demolished, they had to find another place to live, which would not hinder their excitement.

Even if there is no place to live, they now have a tent outside the city and live there for a few months. When the house is built and then come back, they can move directly to their new home. Thinking of this, they are so beautiful that they can't sleep every night.

This is especially true for children.

Unlike previous emperors, Xie Lang almost never stepped out of the palace gate after ascending the throne.

She likes freedom, and of course no one can limit her. She can go wherever she wants.

Su Ying, who now seems to be the chief minister of the cabinet, has no objection to this. After all, he advised the emperor not to leave the palace at will, mainly because he was worried about His Majesty's safety.

But now the empress, who can harm her in the whole world, would be thankful that she would not harm others if she did. It would be fine wherever she wanted to go.

At the construction site, Xie Lang stood in front of the unfolded construction drawings, and more than ten meters behind him, there was a dilapidated house that was pushed down.

Many ordinary people gathered together, talking and laughing at the collapsed houses, and the children even crept around in the crowd, laughter resounding all around.

Next to the temporary shed, carriages transported cement and wood, constantly moving.

Almost all the people here are idle. Those who can help do things, help load and unload goods, help push them to houses, and some people clean up garbage next to them. Almost all the elderly and children are watching the fun.

"Have the foundation of the entire Dongcheng District been measured?" Xie Lang asked.

"When you go back to your Majesty, Dongcheng District has been measured, and the other three urban areas are also measuring. I think it's only been in these three or five days." The supervisor replied.

"The people here also asked them to resettle in advance, so that they would not be able to evacuate them all at once, so as not to have no place to live. Remember to send some widowed elderly and children to Jingzhao Mansion. I have already explained to Xu Ting's side."

"yes."

This is a big project that can definitely be completed in a short period of time. Fortunately, Xie Lang is not in a hurry.

But if it is said that it is a long time, it won’t be. After all, the whole city is mobilized, and people of this era are all good at working.

According to her expectations, the construction will be completed by the end of next year at most. Next month, the other three urban areas will follow up at the same time.

As May enters, people with fame and fortune from all prefectures across the country have come to the capital. There are age restrictions here. You can't be in your fifties and sixties, and you have to waste time here. After all, you only live by fame and fortune at this age. You have not been admitted to Zi Chou Yin Mao so far, and even if you come to college, your study progress is not optimistic.

Therefore, except for those who are officials in the court, other candidates are restricted to before the age of 30, and those over the age of 30 are not allowed to take the exam.

This made many people feel melancholy, but they were helpless.

The reason why this age group is determined is that the average life expectancy of the Great Zhou Dynasty is only about 30 years old.

"Shuangxi, do you want to study?" Xie Lang lay on the soft couch in front of the window, with the front and back windows open, and an ice sculpture carved into peonies was also placed in the house.

The ice sculpture was emitting a hint of cold air at this time, bringing refreshing coolness to this hot afternoon.

Shuangxi was stunned for a moment when she heard this, then lowered her head, "I want to study."

This is what he said in his heart.

Besides, he has known this master for the past few years since he was with His Majesty. He was weak and cowardly before.

Now that he has become casual and unrestrained, he has not changed any changes in his heart and is still very favored to him.

Therefore, he did not lie against his will.

"After school starts, you can go to study together." She didn't think there was anything wrong with this. If Shuangxi knew a lot, at least she could help.

What a great child, he can't spend the rest of his life in the palace.

"...Your Majesty, is I really okay?" He is a bad eunuch.

Even if others don't say it, they still look down on him.

"Yes. Study hard at that time, help me handle official duties after I finish my studies, so that I can also make it easy."

"Yes, I will definitely live up to your Majesty's kindness." He knelt on the ground excitedly to express his loyalty.

Xie Lang waved his hand casually, "Okay, go down, I'll sleep for a while, don't disturb me if I'm fine."
