At the end of March, it was supposed to be a warm spring and a time of recovery, but during the Xiaoice period, spring obviously came later than usual.

It may be fine in the south, but it is more serious in the north, although it is already close to April, but it is still very cold in the morning and evening except for the warm noon.

Originally, the cabinet was also very worried, worried that such cold weather would delay the agricultural season, which would further reduce grain production in the north, and the pressure on grain transportation from the south to the north would be even greater, which might affect the stability of the political situation.

Xiao Ruxun's response was also very fast, and he had already arranged for farmers who were skilled in planting potatoes, corn and sweet potatoes in Myanmar to return to the Central Plains by boat to tell the adults in the cabinet about the grand occasion of planting potatoes, corn and sweet potatoes in Myanmar.

said that these things can be eaten as food and can be eaten to a full stomach, such as what corn is dried and ground into flour to make steamed buns, sweet potatoes and potatoes are roasted or steamed or eaten as vegetables, and the cabinet officials are stunned when they hear it.

Potatoes are hardy, and can be planted in the north, which is not very suitable for wheat growth, and the yield is still very high.

Sweet potatoes and corn need better temperature conditions, which can be promoted and planted in Jiangnan and Lingnan.

These three new crops can be mixed with some local crops to increase food production.

In addition, Xiao Ruxun also ordered these old farmers and the seeds of crops to be sent to various places for training in planting new crops, and demanded that the planting of new crops be promoted as soon as possible, and at the same time ordered the county and township chiefs in the areas that had stabilized to organize and learn the centralized management of manure.

At the same time, it is planned to start building public toilets in villages and towns to collect human feces and urine, and to collect all the manure of pigs, cattle, sheep, chickens, ducks, geese and other poultry, and to carry out unified fermentation to make manure to increase soil fertility.

The three southeastern provinces and the northern Zhili were the first to be asked to carry out this campaign, and the order was issued at the end of February, and the order reached the south in early March, and the county commanders and township chiefs immediately took action, going door to door in their own areas to announce the new demands of the Great Qin government.

Naturally, the government does not need to mention the manure of each household in the rural areas, and they themselves know the importance of manure and urine.

However, the residents of the town do not pay much attention to this, and often defecate in the open and make the town smelly, which not only pollutes the environment but also wastes valuable manure.

After receiving Xiao Ruxun's instructions, the county officials immediately ordered that feces and urine should not be excreted anywhere from now on, and they must be solved at home with wooden barrels and other utensils.

Then the county government arranges a special person to collect it, hand over the manure to the county government to make manure, and then distribute it to the countryside to make up for the lack of rural manure.

It also requires the establishment of special patrols in the towns under its jurisdiction, and when they see someone defecating in the open, they will hit the board fiercely.

On the one hand, it solves the problem of insufficient manure, and on the other hand, it can also improve the urban environment.

In those days, there were no underground waterways, no public toilets and no special cleaning staff, and the big cities were fine, but the open defecation in small towns and villages was very common, and the stench was unbearable.

In ancient times, people liked incense, like sachets and sachets, rich people often lit incense, and used incense to make clothes fragrant, during the Manchu Dynasty, snuff bottles were very popular in Beijing, and the children of rich families had one in their hands, which looked very chic.

But none of this is for any other reason, either pretending to be chic or something, or because it is so smelly, the air is filled with the smell of urine and stench, and the children of rich families really can't go to the streets without incense or snuffboxes.

Xiao Ruxun has dealt with this problem in Myanmar, where the air quality in both urban and rural areas is good.

After being stationed in Beijing, Xiao Ruxun, according to the experience of Myanmar, also ordered that the residents of Beijing were not allowed to defecate in the open, and built special public toilets to guide and publicize people to solve the three emergency problems at home or in public toilets.

In February alone, more than 2,000 people were beaten, and the effect was very good, and in March, only more than 100 people were beaten, so if this continues, other places dare not say, at least the air quality in Beijing will be greatly improved.

After solving some urgent needs, Xiao Ruxun also attaches great importance to army construction, when the army stays around the Beijing Division, it will never stop daily training, the content and intensity of training are the same as in the Burmese period, Burmese veterans are very accustomed to this, but it is a little difficult to join later.

For this reason, these later soldiers were ridiculed by Burmese veterans.

Xiao Ruxun was happy to see this, and from time to time he left the capital to mingle with the soldiers in the barracks, so that the soldiers knew their existence, maintained their influence, and often gave the army some rewards, meat, wine and money, in short, there was no ambiguity about the army.

As long as it is a normal government and the officials are in a normal head, then they will never deduct the army's salary, but any government that deducts the army's salary is a sick government, and it needs to be governed by a large government, the army is the foundation, and what kind of rule do you have without the army?

No, Daming was overturned by Xiao Ruxun, a lesson from the past and a teacher of the future, anyway, Xiao Ruxun will never treat his soldiers badly.

This time, Xiao Ruxun chose to inspect the Wild Lion Camp.

The Wild Lion Battalion is one of the two major cavalry regiments, and the configuration and treatment of soldiers are the same as those of the Wolf Warrior Battalion, and there is a little special here, Xiao Ruxun's godson Chu Ying is serving in the Wild Lion Battalion, and he is currently a thousand generals, and there are also a thousand cavalry under him.

Hearing that Xiao Ruxun came to inspect the army, Chu Ying happily followed Jiang Yue and Xue Bolu to greet Xiao Ruxun, and after Xiao Ruxun saw Chu Ying, he also smiled and patted Chu Ying's shoulder and encouraged him more.

Chu Ying has been with Dajun for a long time, and he is very accustomed to this kind of life, and at the same time, the braid on the back of his head has become more and more a thorn in his heart.

So at the beginning of the Northern Expedition, a group of people coaxed together, Chu Ying also drank some wine, and the wine was strong, so he simply cut the braids, and regretted it a little after sobering up, but he didn't raise it again, let his hair grow freely, and now his hair has reached the level of a shawl.

The army finally called him General Chu simply, and he didn't care whether his surname was Chu or not, anyway, Chu Ying didn't feel anything bad about it, he just felt that he could be more integrated into the collective, and he was very happy.

"It looks much better with your hair than with braids."

Xiao Ruxun's first sentence when she saw Chu Ying was like this, Chu Ying was even happier and felt that what she did was correct.

When Xiao Ruxun returned to the palace that day, he took Chu Ying back with him and asked the imperial chef to cook him a good meal.

"Eat slowly, no one will rob you."

Seeing Chu Ying gobbling up delicious food, the corners of Xiao Ruxun's mouth were slightly hooked.

"Hmm...... Good ......"

Chu Ying didn't have any tendency to slow down at all, and he still devoured a meal, and the table full of dishes was eaten cleanly.

After eating, Xiao Ruxun took Chu Ying to his study and said that he would give him a gift.

Then he took out a wooden hairpin.
