Villager of Daming

Chapter 1060: Choose from each with pros and cons

Officials in Beiping Prefecture listened and felt relieved. They were also afraid of trouble and had been preparing for this summer's drought since last year.

When making preparations, we expect a real drought, otherwise the preparations will be in vain.

The key point is that the people now particularly trust the Ming Dynasty.

There were two droughts. The preparations were hasty for the first time, but luckily we survived. Last time, the court did not collect land taxes.

This time there was another drought, so the people were very skilled and made up for all the omissions made last time.

When they found out that there was indeed a drought, the people were overjoyed, "It's a drought!" It’s drought! Ha ha……

It proves that the imperial court has the ability to predict disasters in advance, which is very accurate and gives a full sense of security.

The news from Yingtian Mansion is not that Liu Ji did not calculate the drought at that time, and His Majesty was angry. After walking on the Seven Stars, there was still drought, and Qin Tianjian was not able to do it either.

As a result, Xiaqiu Village made preparations and spent a lot of manpower and material resources to dig a sufficient well.

If it weren't for being on the island, surrounded by Taiye Pond, there wouldn't be a few scattered ones that could be seen.

The officials were thinking and envious, they also wanted to have an expert to give guidance from behind, and then the expert would hide and not show up, then they would be standing in front...hehehehehe...

Zhu Fan pushed the tray to the corner of the table. He only tore a little of the chicken rack. It was cold again, even in the hot weather.

"There are too many shrimps in the shrimp pot. Do you want to eat the shrimps?"

Zhu Wentian asked people to take the newly roasted chicken rack, half as before, half for each person.

Zhu Wentian's fleshy face was so stiff that he quickly took a sip of beer. It was so comfortable, it was too hot.

"That's enough, share, eat, um! Hey hey hey hey..."

"The village guards in Xiaqiu Village are smarter than those in other villages, that's amazing!" Tongzhi, who had been kneeling before, found an opportunity to boast.

As long as there is a need, it will be solved. We are not just here to play. "

"Of course my Hanhan brother is the smartest, and he can also... carve things!" Ling'er responded proudly.

"Brother Hanhan, help us heat up the skewers and chicken rack. Where are the chicken heads?"

Other officials followed and praised the villagers, and Zhu Wentian kept hehehehehehe...

Seeing that the officials were not doing their jobs properly, Zhu Di said loudly, "What's the use of praising the villagers?" Can Brother Hanhan help you deal with your troubles?
The officials responded one after another, listening to songs and watching dances.

Otherwise, when His Highness King Wu wanted to send a telegram to the Li Chang of Xiaqiu Village just now, Zhu Li Chang only said seven words.

"Braised, grilled, less meat, skin off, cut in half, brains, missing, ah, uh huh!"

"Yes, yes, I have grilled the chicken head before. It will not be cooked if I don't cut it open. The skin of the chicken head will be damaged when it is grilled, and the brain of the chicken will be black. It is better to marinate it."

Zhu Fan expressed his understanding and translated it for the officials.

There are only a few flying insects that circle around the lamp, and it is difficult to reproduce due to lack of water.

Zhu Wentian was very reluctant to answer. He had to translate the normal words into what he was saying now.

"Don't stare at our silly brother and say, I'll stay here for a few days, and if you have anything to do, please mention it as soon as possible.

Before coming to Taiyuan Prefecture, the third brother asked the local government officials, county officials, and district chiefs to think about the problem.

While everyone was enjoying the singing, dancing, eating and drinking, a voice rang out.

Orion Jiang Wu stood not far away, holding a bucket in his hand and asking others if they wanted to eat shrimp.

There are no big shrimps in Taiye Pond, they are all small shrimps, so some shrimp cages are placed and the chicken bones after eating are thrown in.

Since the invention of bow and arrow anchor fish technology, Jiang Wu, a hunter who goes up to the mountains to hunt, has acquired new survival skills, studying how to obtain prey in the water. "Brother Jiang, come and sit down. How are your sister-in-law and the children doing?"

A young man from Xiaqiu Village went over to pick up the things, said hello and handed him a large mug of beer.

"No, I'll go back after delivering the shrimps. Everything is fine over there! People from the mansion have been helping to take care of her, so I can sleep peacefully."

Jiang Wu put down the bucket, happily took the cup, and refused to eat here. He carefully held the cup and walked back. He suddenly stopped to take a sip, and then speeded up.

Local officials have been informed of the situation. Jiang Wu's family lives next to the main camp, and a palace maid helps take care of the baby.

We are on the island now, not far away. Jiang Wu doesn't like this kind of occasion and has just gone to collect a circle of shrimp pots.

Most of the buckets contain a lot of shrimp! Pour it into a large pot, change the water, rinse it, and then add the seasonings to marinate.

Put oil in the pot next to it, heat it slowly, and cook the salt and pepper shrimp in a while.

In about twenty minutes, a large amount of small river shrimps were processed, and a small basin was sent to Jiang Wu, plus a large amount of beer.

"It's fragrant, crispy and delicious. When there's a drought, there are less things in the river. I think it will take a few years to recover."

Zhu Di ate the fried shrimps and felt sorry for the aquatic products. A small river had dried up.

There are river snails, river mussels, loaches, eels, small fish, shrimps, leeches...

Others are edible, including leeches... and are used as medicine. Summer is a good time to catch them, blanch them in water and dry them in the sun.

Now Xiaqiu Village specializes in raising them. It is said that after raising them for a few generations, the living bodies can be used to treat some diseases.

To put a live leech somewhere in a person's body and let it suck blood, you must first make sure that the leech is free of germs.

“As long as Your Highness does not take the opportunity to clear out the silt and deepen the river channel, there will be no shortage of fish and shrimps, and the bridge will be built when it is dry.

During winter in the north, rivers and streams dry up and freeze, and they sink into the mud.

If you want to recover quickly after desilting, wait until there is normal water and then feed it from other rivers... uh... specifically! Put it upstream. "

The headmaster gave a choice, dredging or not. The recovery speed of things in the dredging water is slower, and the recovery speed of desilting is faster. If you want to speed up alone, you can raise them artificially before releasing them.

Xiaqiu Village raises fish, shrimps and crabs, one for scientific research and the other for sales.

Especially ornamental fish, which started in the Tang Dynasty and became more prosperous in the Song Dynasty, are all said by Hanhan.

Xiaqiu Village is a professional one, with a large glass fish tank that can be observed at any time and can also provide oxygen.

Add some small rivers, ponds, Xuanwu Lake, and Qinhuai River to sample, analyze, raise, and enclose an area for breeding.

Raising economic fish cannot destroy the original ecological environment. Snakehead fish cannot be raised in cages in the Qinhuai River. A large number of small snakehead fish will enter the Qinhuai River, and other fish will not survive.

Snakehead fish can only dig a separate pond, isolate it from the outside, and feed it specially, just like river puffer fish. You can catch it when you want to eat.

Zhu Di was silent. He was hesitating whether to clear the mud or not.

"Fourth brother, do you want to figure it out by yourself?" Zhu Ping reminded from the side.

"Chief, teach me!" Zhu Di realized. Is this something he should worry about?
Li Chang: "..."

He also has difficulty making decisions. How to balance the pros and cons?

"Clean, clean, mud, ah! Seed, um! Hey hey hey..." Zhu Wentian said.

"Your Highness, clean it up!" The commander understood and asked again during the evening break. It was not a matter of mud farming at all. How could he emphasize the knowledge that everyone knew alone?
"Listen to Brother Hanhan." Zhu Di agreed. The matter was not serious, and even if he was wrong, he was still right, and the senior people in Xiaqiu Village would compensate him.

The local official’s head is starting to hurt again. Do you want to clear out the silt? Are you ready to arrange the time of the service personnel, including the meals provided? Obviously night is not suitable for dredging, so why not do it during the day?
