【In addition to the scarcity of oil and salt, the current staple foods in Guizhou are mainly rice (rice is rice), broomcorn millet (now yellow rice), millet (also known as Ji, now millet), wheat (now wheat), beetroot (general name for beans, often refers to soybeans or soybeans) these five】

【Among them, the first Guizhou area in the Guanzhong region of the Great Qin Dynasty grows more millet and wheat, as well as broomcorn millet and bean sprouts, and eats mainly millet and wheat, followed by broomcorn millet and bean sprouts.】

【According to Meng Tian and Zhang Han, for example, among the six countries, Chu State planted more rice and bean sprouts, and the Guizhou people there mainly ate rice and bean sprouts.】

【Generally speaking, in terms of food, Guizhou is short of oil and salt. It mainly eats five staple foods: rice, broomcorn millet, millet, wheat, and bean sprouts, as well as five types of vegetables: sunflower, hyacinth, scallions, onions, and leeks.】

【As for”clothing”, there are mainly two types, namely silk and linen.】

【Among them, the nobles mainly wear silk, such as damask, Luo, silk, satin, brocade, dandy, silk, silk, etc. These are all types of silk.】

【Generally, only princes, nobles, and officials can afford to wear it.】

【The common people in Guizhou mainly wear hemp. Some Guizhou people can’t even afford clothes made of hemp and can only wear straw clothes made of grass.】

【In addition to silk, linen, and straw clothing, there are also a few clothes woven from animal skins.】

【However, this kind of clothing made of animal skins is not easy to come by in Guizhou, and the nobles regard it as barbarian clothing, so basically not many people can wear it.】

【In terms of”living”, the princes and nobles generally live in palaces and pavilions, while the ordinary people in Guizhou live in relatively simple accommodation.】

【Generally, houses in Guizhou are made of earth or wood, with roofs covered with thatch and walls made of adobe or wooden boards.】

【And to protect against the cold in winter, there are often no windows, only simple doors and vents.】

【The environment around the house is also relatively poor, prone to water accumulation, moisture, and lack of ventilation. You need to solve problems such as water sources and firewood yourself.】

【As for”travel”, the princes and nobles traveled by carriage or horseback.】

【For ordinary Guizhou people, you can walk, and only a few Guizhou people can take an ox cart.】

【In addition to the four major aspects of food, clothing, housing and transportation in Guizhou, Prince Fusu also paid special attention to farming in Guizhou.】

【These include Guizhou’s farming tools and farming methods, etc.】

【Based on his own observations, Prince Fusu roughly divided the farming tools in Guizhou into four major categories.】

【They are: farming tools, transportation tools, irrigation tools, harvesting and processing tools】

【Among them, farm tools include: rakes (a soil-turning agricultural tool), stone hoes, wooden hoe, straw handles, large rake, etc. However, there are also a small number of iron farm tools, such as iron plows, iron hoes, and iron shovels.】

【Among them, although iron farm tools are hard, they are more likely to break, and iron needs to be cast before it can be used, and ordinary Guizhou tools are not easy to obtain.】

【Therefore, in addition to iron plows, most Guizhou farmers still use wooden or stone farming tools.】

【Among them, the irrigation farm tools include: Jumei (a water-drawing machine that uses the principle of leverage), and a windlass (a tool for drawing and lifting water from a well).】

【Among them, agricultural equipment is transported: ladles, baskets, and bullock carts】

【Among the harvesting and processing agricultural products: pestle and mortar (a tool for pounding grain or medicine), stone millstone (a tool for shelling grains, but it is not the same thing as the millstone), stone sickle】

【As for the farming method, it is mainly iron plow and ox farming.】

【There are also various other small things, such as heating, the princes and nobles usually burn charcoal, while in Guizhou they go to the mountains to cut wood, pick up dead branches and leaves and other combustible materials, etc.】

【In these seven days, not only did Prince Fusu have a thorough understanding of the life of ordinary people in Guizhou, but at least he was not ignorant of people’s livelihood matters.】

【Zhang Han, who heard Prince Fusu’s emotion at the side, couldn’t help but asked:”Your Highness, what have you gained?”】

【After getting along with each other for this period of time, Zhang Han also knew that Prince Fusu was a person with a relatively gentle temperament.】

【Prince Fusu would not be offended by some questions from his subjects, and would usually answer those who could answer them, so Zhang Han would raise his questions in a timely manner.】

【Moreover, almost half of those bamboo slips were made by his hand, and he had also seen the other half by Meng Tian.】

【But forgive him for being stupid, after reading those bamboo slips, apart from deepening his understanding of life in Guizhou, he didn’t have any other special gains.】

【Hearing Zhang Han’s question, the prince Fusu looked at Zhang Han with a smile and said,”Go run a hundred steps.””】

【Zhang Han looked puzzled. Didn’t he just say that he had gained something?】

【Why did His Royal Highness suddenly ask him to run a hundred steps?】

【To say that this was his punishment for casually asking His Highness the Crown Prince, it doesn’t seem like it.】

【Whose punishment is just to make people run a hundred steps?】

【But doubts remain doubts, but as an official subordinate to Prince Fusu, Zhang Han still obeyed Prince Fusu’s orders very much.】

【”Your Highness, should I run a hundred steps forward, a hundred steps backward, or a hundred steps left or right?”】

【Zhang Han, who was about to run a hundred steps, looked at Prince Fusu and asked】

【But Prince Fusu smiled and answered him:”This is the harvest.””】

【Looking at Zhang Han, whose expression became more and more puzzled, Prince Fusu smiled and explained:”Just like you need a specific direction before running.”】

【”Gu also needs a specific direction”】

【”Before I have a deep understanding of the clothing, food, housing, transportation, farming and other matters in Guizhou, I want to make all Guizhou people in the world able to eat wheat rice without husks.”】

【”However, I don’t know how to do it specifically so that all Guizhou people in the world can eat wheat rice without husks.”】

【”After having an in-depth understanding of the clothing, food, housing, transportation, farming and other matters in Guizhou, the current clothing, food, housing, transportation, farming and other matters in Guizhou are Gu’s direction of progress.”】

【”For example, in terms of food, Guizhou currently mainly eats five staple foods and five vegetables. So can we find a way to add one more staple food or universal vegetables to them?”】

【”With one more staple food or vegetable to choose from, Guizhou will have more choices, more things to eat, and maybe you will be able to feel fuller.”】

【”For another example, if I know what the main farming tools currently used in Guizhou are, can I also think of ways to further improve these farming tools to further improve the efficiency of farming in Guizhou?”】

【”If the efficiency of farming in Guizhou is further improved, they will have more time to cultivate more acres and harvest more food in the future.”】

【”In the end, Guizhou may be able to eat a little fuller and no longer need to eat shelled wheat rice.”】

【”Only by knowing the current status quo can we further improve the deficiencies”】

【”These are part of Gu’s gains in the past few days, and there is another part of harvest, but I am not sure whether that part of the harvest is correct.”】

��”Therefore, we have to make comparisons later when we visit the lonely old Qin people in other counties to finally determine whether the other part of the harvest is correct.”】

【After listening to Prince Fusu’s explanation, Zhang Han went from being confused at the beginning to suddenly realizing and being convinced at the end. 】
