First Prince of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 240 Trivia
Zhu Biao shook his head. This kind of thing is either not done or absolutely done. In the current situation, there is no need to engage in such small tricks. His status has been lost for nothing. Zhu Biao went straight out of the prison. Planning to come again.

All the way back to the mansion, Guo Chong, Zhang Fan and others came in to report that they had been sent to the villages to readjust the supplies. Fortunately, Zhu Liangzu and others took care of His Royal Highness, and only [-] to [-]% of the supplies were sneakily transported away. It is still too late to make amends .

Zhu Biao didn't say anything after listening to it. This is because he was short of [-]-[-]% of the supplies even if he went into battle in person.If the imperial court sends other people to come, it would be good if they can leave [-]-[-]% of the supplies.

I am afraid that Zhu Yuanzhang will be on the stage in person to ensure that no one dares to reach out. However, Zhu Yuanzhang's affairs are so heavy, how can he have the time to take care of such trivial matters as relocation.

After the snow stopped, we waited two days for it to melt, and then called up the migrants again to work in a unified way. It is necessary to ensure that the farming can be carried out smoothly in the spring.

The weather is getting colder, and the cotton coats brought from the capital have long been insufficient. Fortunately, during this time, a lot of sheep have been eaten, and the clothes made of piles of sheepskin have an excellent effect of keeping warm.

The Ministry of Industry has also mobilized a large number of craftsmen from the capital to make tools for farming with local materials. Intensive cultivation is the key to agricultural development. , water mills, stone mills, and water mills are not things that ordinary people can make.

Moreover, measures should be taken according to local conditions. Some tools are useful and some are not. After all, there are still some differences between Fengyang and Shanxi. The two agricultural classics of the Yuan Dynasty have gained a lot.

Although such excellent agricultural classics have come out, the farming methods used by the people of Fengyang and the immigrants from Shanxi are still from the end of Song Dynasty and the beginning of Yuan Dynasty, and the advanced technology recorded in "Wang Zhen's Agricultural Book" has not been fully promoted.

In this era, theoretical knowledge is more important. After all, there are too many people who have no experience. The difficulty in the spread of ancient advanced technology is that various places stick to traditional farming methods. After all, the food cultivated is related to their lives.

So even if they hear about it, they generally dare not try it. The price of failure is not something they can bear, and seeking stability is also the basic quality of Chinese people.

Normally, the imperial court will force the implementation of new technology, or the big landlord will test a small field first, and if it is possible, it will be promoted on a large scale, and the common people will imitate it after seeing the actual effect.

Although the spring has not yet started, a detailed plan is necessary. After all, the imperial court will never be able to provide for the relocated people for another year, so it is necessary to ensure that the spring plowing goes smoothly so that they can at least be self-sufficient.

Time flies, since the two founding marquises of Yongjiahou and Pinglianghou were expelled, naturally no one in Fengyang Mansion dared to reach out, at most, it was just a few pieces of charcoal being greedy for a few pieces of charcoal.

Zhu Biao's house has already been ignited with the best silver bone charcoal specially sent from the capital. The charcoal has white frost, no smoke, is difficult to burn, and is not easy to extinguish. In the gap, cover it with copper wire and heat it up, enough to support it all day and night. When you enter this room, it is as warm as spring.

Thanks to Zhu Biao's blessing, all the officials under him got some top-quality silver bone charcoal. It's really not that big of a deal, it's just some charcoal after all, but it's also face-saving, after all, it's for the queen.

Liu Jin came in from the outside, first went to the heater to relieve the cold on her body, and then put the official document in front of Zhu Biao. Zhu Biao first picked up the official document and began to review it, and it was resolved after a while.

Different from the careful review at the beginning, now the affairs in Fengyang Mansion are all arranged by Zhu Biao, so naturally he knows how to deal with it.

Picking up the letter sent by Beijing, my mother and the princess hoped that they could return to the palace before the Chinese New Year. After all, Fengyang is not far from the capital. Gong Xu chattered for how long it had been since he had seen his son, and it was extremely annoying.

Zhu Biao smiled, he also wanted to go back to the palace for the new year, now that winter has completely entered, and the people in Fengyang Mansion have nothing to do, it is not impossible to go back when he has time, but what should the rest of the people do when he is gone, especially Those young nobles.

They are now scattered in various villages and have their own duties. At the beginning, Zhu Biao forcibly brought them out. Now it is the Chinese New Year and he patted his ass and left, so that they could stay in Fengyang and not be able to reunite with their families, although they dared not say anything. , but this is too ugly.

Zhu Biao asked his three younger brothers to be called, and the three of them could go back. After all, there is nothing else to do now. Comrade Zhu likes to celebrate the New Year with a lively family. The rest of the princes are too young to even drink with him. Will not work.

The three kung fu brothers came in after a cup of tea. Naturally, they would not be as careful as Liu Jin, and walked directly in front of Zhu Biao.

The three brothers thought that something happened again, Zhu Xi hurriedly asked after the salute: "Brother, is there something wrong again, no one will freeze to death?"

Zhu Biao asked them to sit down with a smile, and Liu Jin brought a few cups of hot tea. The three of them knew that there was nothing wrong with this posture. Brother wants to have a drink with the younger brothers, let’s talk about it first, I think the cowshed is too small, and there will be cattle fighting soon."

Zhu Biao gave him a white look, this child is too delicate, how come he likes to eat beef so much, he is still the fourth child who is sensible and likes to eat sheep, he can afford it.

Zhu Biao knocked on the table and said: "There's nothing going on recently, you guys are ready to go back to Beijing, after you've been out for so long, go back and meet your father and your mother and concubine."

Zhu Di was stunned for a moment and then asked first: "It's almost Chinese New Year and it's time to go back, but won't big brother go back with us?"

Zhu Biao nodded with a smile and said: "I've already been back, not to mention there are new scholars and honored children here, it's hard to leave them behind."

The three brothers looked at each other and said, "Then let's stay for the elder brother. It's not interesting for us to live in Beijing for so many years."

Zhu Biao said bluntly: "Okay, why should you be modest about such a trivial matter, you have been out for so long, your parents and queens have also remembered it, not to mention that I am also married, you probably have to make a decision this time when you go back."

Zhu Biao then asked them to get closer to their father when they went back, not to be timid all the time, but to improve after a round of exercise.

The three brothers listened obediently, then turned around and went back to pack up. They will leave for Beijing tomorrow morning. They must be lying if they say they don't want to go back to the palace. What's the point of Fengyang Mansion, but they are embarrassed if the elder brother doesn't speak.
