Villager of Daming

Chapter 103 The Navy Arranges Niu Gengnei ([-]rd)

After a spring rain, the sky is slowly getting warmer.

People in Xiaqiu Village are busy growing vegetables, they need to eat food, and vegetables are indispensable.

In the arid area, there is no rain, and the people shake water from the well to irrigate the winter wheat. It is much harder than in previous years, but they still persist.

While they were tired, they also wanted to thank the imperial court. Without the mandatory order from the imperial court last year, people would starve to death this year.

Zhu Yuanzhang, who is above the court, is an old god. This year, he still went to fight Ming Yuzhen in Sichuan. With a large number of wells, the financial pressure of Ming Dynasty was relieved.

The officials didn't know the specific situation at all, but Hu Weiyong, the new Zuo Cheng, had some guesses in his mind, and asked Zhu Yuanzhang several times who knew about the drought in so many places.

How could Zhu Yuanzhang tell him?Always change the subject to reveal the past, anyway, it is impossible to tell him that there is a village where an expert lives.

Fortunately, Zhu Yuanzhang believed the words of an expert, otherwise the winter wheat in a large area would be killed by drought, and the population would inevitably decrease. What would be the use of exempting the land tax?

In addition, he made a lot of money from the barbarians of the Shibo Division, and he was full of confidence in attacking Ming Yuzhen.

After the next court, he called Zhu Biao: "Do you want to write a letter?"

Zhu Biao nodded: "Yesterday, I sent it together with the alkali. Father wants to build a Daming navy?"

"Now that there is a lot of money, building a navy can deal with Japanese pirates and private trade. Otherwise, raising countless sailors will waste money and food. My immediate enemy is the desert."

Zhu Yuanzhang made a lot of money and considered that he could afford it. Otherwise, he would never build ships and train troops. He attached the most importance to the remnants of the Yuan Dynasty in his heart.

He was the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. If the previous Yuan Dynasty was not wiped out, he was always worried that it would come back one day.

"My son also agrees. The sea ban cannot be opened. It is safer to have a navy guard." Zhu Biao supported his father.

It is absolutely impossible to let the people go out, but the imperial court has no problem. The people should stay in one place honestly, and have to open the way when they go out.

……

Zhu Wentian got the letter, there is still a lot of trona, the village doesn't need to make caustic soda by itself, it is very troublesome, and it has to soak the grass and water the noodles.

In this way, the imperial court would no longer buy the stone alkali in the village to make things, and lost a fixed income.

The little friends were writing, but he was in a daze. The prince asked how to build a navy. Isn't this embarrassing!
How can I build a navy?Is it okay to show the prince what is written in the book?
Zhu Wentian was worried. In fact, the navy is easy to handle. He asked Chen Youliang's former subordinate, Fu Youde who later helped Zhu Yuanzhang fight Chen Youliang in the water battle.

Fu Youde is a man who is good at fighting, although the final outcome is not very good, because of Zhu Biao's death, there are also Lan Yu and others.

In order to allow Zhu Yunqi to succeed to the throne smoothly, Zhu Yuanzhang killed all the generals and capable ministers who were married to the kings.

After thinking about it, Zhu Wentian didn't take care of how the navy was built. He picked up a pen and wrote: "When the navy was first established, it should find a country near the ground, such as Annan and Siam, and exchange rice with it to support itself. The selected soldiers should have a complete family. '

He just wrote this paragraph, and there was nothing else to say, telling Zhu Yuanzhang to send the navy out as a caravan.

As for whether the exchanged items are kept privately or not, and how much to reward, I believe the imperial court has regulations.

Thinking that after Zhu Yuanzhang was afraid of raising a navy, the navy turned around and rebelled against him. He was psychologically shadowed by Chen Youliang.

It is estimated that Zhu Yuanzhang will adopt a marriage alliance to stabilize an army. For example, even if Chang Yuchun died, his daughter was still married by Zhu Biao, the crown prince concubine.

"Ah! Zhu Biao is getting married soon. In April, I have to prepare a gift, which is unique and cannot be given by others.

The concubine is also a hard-working person, giving birth to children in succession. The last Zhu Yunxi died [-] days after giving birth, obviously from puerperal infection.

In addition, giving birth too frequently, the body is weak, and needs to be supplemented. Postpartum infection is easy to say, but if you don’t get infected, it’s fine! "

Zhu Wentian thought of some things, Zhu Yuanzhang was really too difficult, the death of the princess, Zhu Xiongying, and Zhu Biao.

If they were all alive, why did he kill so much later?

……

Before lunch, Zhu Wentian found the head of the village and gave the paper to him. The head of the village took a copy from the house, sealed it with lacquer, thought it over, and decided to deliver it tomorrow morning.

You can prepare food tonight, and it will be delivered to the place together with the meal.

"Hanhan, there is a cow that is about to give birth, and someone has to watch it. Let's take a look at it later?"

The head of the village told Hanhan the good news during the meal, and there would be another cow in the village.

It takes about one and a half years to raise the cow. When the cow plows the land, she takes the calf by the side and shows it how to plow. It takes a few days to learn how to do it.

"Okay, look! Hehe!" Zhu Wentian nodded, he really wanted to keep an eye on it, and deal with it quickly if there was any problem.

Zhu Taiyi and the four of them knew that they had to be busy again, so they went to record it.

After the meal, everyone went to see the cows. The cows were placed alone in a place with hay laid out. The cows had edema in their abdomen, and they didn’t like to eat much, and other conditions.

Facing the onlookers, the cow does not panic and is used to the presence of people.

Villagers have already prepared steamed scissors, towels, ropes, wash hands and arms by the side. In case of difficult labor, they will go up to give birth artificially.

Zhu Wentian watched and wondered whether his laboratory could produce what he wanted, and whether he could hire a skilled craftsman from outside.

According to his judgment, he felt that it was almost the same, so he made a simple one and made better ones in the future when the craftsmanship improved.

Just thinking about it, the cow suddenly knelt down, then slowly fell down, sideways on the grass.

'Moo!Moo! Immediately after the cow began to call, her belly moved, and the villagers waiting to get started began to sweat.

This is one cow, no, two, and it will be a big loss if it dies.

In the end, no help from the Master, the calf slid out with a slimy body, and the cow barked twice and began to lick the calf.

About two quarters of an hour, the calf stood up tremblingly. The cow continued to lick and stand still. The calf approached a little bit and went under the cow's belly to drink milk.

"Hey hey hey..." The villagers laughed happily, and there was another mouthful in the village.

The villagers brought the prepared brown sugar and wheat bran salt water. In the past, they were reluctant to give sugar. Add some salt and cold water to the wheat bran, and now boil the water to warm.

I won't die of hunger after drinking this, and I will try to feed alfalfa grass tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, dry ones, and then silage.

The four of Zhu Taiyi wrote down the process, and when the time comes, they will work together and produce normally. In fact, there is no need to write it down, they are just afraid.

Zhu Wentian continued to wait. When the calf was full of milk and the cow was drinking mixed water, he called his friends to the mountain temple and tried to make toys.

Others who are not busy continue to watch the cows and calves, and they should still drink milk before evening.

"Cows will become more and more expensive in a place like ours in the future. Large animals will be needed to plow the fields for every crop, otherwise people will be exhausted to plow the fields."

The head of the village said to Zhu Taiyi and the others that this needs to be recorded, the key content, and the examination. Rotation of cultivation will consume fertilizer and energy.

　Brothers and sisters, read on, don’t raise it, let’s see if the farmer can have a chance to go to Sanjiang, thank you very much!The farmer bowed!
