Villager of Daming

Chapter 1076: Staying for a short summer vacation

It doesn't matter whether the woman is a professional or not, the Hanhan skewers are professional and everyone is very happy to eat them.

After the people finished eating, they rushed out into the scorching sun.

They were afraid that if they didn't work hard, the palace guards would be lazy, not to mention that they had eaten dumplings with so much meat.

If such fragrant pork is not cooked properly, will it be worthy of a pig? No, no, is it worthy of His Highness? Uh...that doesn't seem right either.

Anyway, just work hard and cooperate with such a magical big guy to dig holes and level the ground.

Steam engine equipment is not flexible enough and cannot compare with hydraulic equipment, and all kinds of steering are very troublesome, far from the level of arm control that was later achieved.

Other people are needed to help, including drilling a deep well, but the corresponding pipe cannot be found.

People had to carry bricks to build the walls of the wells, which was very dangerous. They were afraid that the earth well walls would collapse and water would rise up.

Otherwise, why was it so difficult to build a windlass well in the past? It required a group of people to cooperate with each other to constantly lift water up and lower the water level.

Sometimes when you see water dug out, you put sandbags down on the top to block the water holes, and then lift the sacks filled with sand up when the bottom is almost done.

The head of the house next to him just wanted to speak up and tell his cousin not to worry, the village needed this team more, but he had no choice but to hold back and couldn't interrupt casually.

People still eat dumplings in the evening. The reason why they are not allowed to make steamed buns is not because there is not enough time to make the dough, but because the people dip them in soy sauce and vinegar.

Fang Dashan shook his head: "No, it is precisely because there is something wrong that I want His Highness to go over and take a look."

It's better now, there are pumps to drain the water constantly.

"Has everything been done in Fangshan County?" Zhu Di asked again.

"Think!" Fang Dashan nodded vigorously.

Other craftsmen built steps along the hillside, built ditches, and made foot-stepped spiral water diversion devices.

Normally, the store manager obviously doesn't pay the right amount for customers to ask for soy sauce and vinegar, and they also provide extra garlic, including garlic sauce for dipping dumplings.

The people in Xiashan Village are cooperating and learning, understanding that these people will eventually leave.

……

While waiting for the break between singing and dancing, he stood up quickly and raised his hands in the air: "Your Highness, are you still going to the county seat?"

The county magistrate Fang Dashan was anxious. He also knew that the team would leave, but he didn't know how.

"Sit down, don't be busy! We have to finish the things in Xiashan Village before it's too late!" Zhu Di nodded.

Then the craftsman came up and went down with things, also wearing things, a long breathing tube, a flashlight, and waterproof glass glasses.

He was afraid that the team would not go to the county seat, and he needed tactical guidance. He faced some situations that he thought were dead ends, but solving them in Xiaqiu Village was like playing around.

Zhu Di looked at Fang Dashan: "You want me to go?"

Once the equipment is made of wood, if it is broken, people can slowly repair it using tools.

Or why do people think it’s the New Year? There are so many devices that can be done manually, and they are exhausted and can't even think of them.

It's like the water-powered spinning machine in Luoyang. If you don't build it, who knows how it can be done? After making it, I suddenly realized that it was just that, simple.

"Thank you, Your Highness!" Fang Dashan sat down and his heart returned to its original position.

Beiping Prefecture is not Taiyuan Prefecture. There is less vinegar and less soy sauce.

The war ended in a short period of time. Many previous vinegar and soy sauce vats were smashed by Bei Yuan, and their money was also plundered.

Xu Da led his soldiers to fight and confiscated the enemy's things. He could not return them to the people. Who knew which things belonged to whom? It takes time for the industry to recover, and some people whose financial resources are not strong enough have failed to recover.

After the war, there will inevitably be a redistribution of resources. Some dynasties will follow the previous dynasty, while others will set a composition for you regardless of what the people think, and then divide your family's land.

Many family properties are the result of generations of good family tradition, hard work, frugality, no gambling, no whoring, and calculating life, which is why those fields and houses are accumulated.

As a result, due to the impact of the war, a group of people who were idle, lazy, and had bad character were robbed.

There were local gangsters in Beiping Prefecture who were robbing them. Xu Da reacted quickly and suppressed them in time. Many of the damage caused by Bei Yuan in the past could only be borne by the people themselves.

Soy sauce and vinegar consume food themselves, and when the vat is gone, there will be another brewing time.

If there were no canals to transport soy sauce and vinegar from the south of the Yangtze River, and Xiaqiu Village came with Zhu Biao and Zhu Chong before Peiping, the people would indeed not be able to eat it.

How can people who have never experienced a high salt tax know how precious salt is? Not to mention soy sauce and vinegar.

"Chief, why is there so little vinegar in our Beiping Prefecture? More in Taiyuan Prefecture? I understand the lack of soy sauce. It was Xiaqiu Village who brought it up. Normally it's just soy sauce."

Someone came over and said they needed more soy sauce and vinegar. Zhu Di agreed, eat more soy sauce and drink water at night!
What he didn't understand was that they were only separated by a mountain range. How could the gap be so big?

After hearing this, the officials looked at each other and shook their heads in unison. They didn't understand. His Highness's question was out of line.

The head of the room wanted to show off. He frowned and gritted his teeth: "Your Highness, let me guess, the people in Taiyuan Mansion don't know how to make wine, so they turned the wine into vinegar."

"Fart!" Zhu Fan said angrily: "May I ask where there is a restaurant? The shepherd boy pointed to Xinghua Village. Are you telling us that there is no wine brewing in Taiyuan Prefecture?"

"Your Highness, calm down." Li Chang said: "As I said before, the water in Taiyuan Mansion and surrounding areas has become alkaline and needs to be balanced with vinegar, just like farming.

It will be fine in two years. When the economy develops, including other seasonings, people will use them.

There is a department store, so shrimp oil side dishes and the like are no problem. By the way, cucumbers, cowpeas, eggplants, and screw vegetables from Beipingfu Park can all be sold to department stores. "

"Did you hear that? Learn from it. Fang Dashan, tell your cousin about the problem of soil acidity and alkali. Don't tell us that you don't know how to do it."

Zhu Fan calmed down his anger when he saw that the boss was trying to smooth things over. You Fang Dachuan, you don't know how to pretend to understand.

Fang Dachuan shrank his neck, covered his face and did not dare to speak anymore. Fang Dashan accepted the errand to explain to his cousin in Sifu which crops acidic and alkaline soils are good for.

……

The night passes, the sun turns and turns, and the days of slight heat arrive.

Amidst the blessings of the people who knelt down and kowtowed in thanks after being stopped from marching spontaneously, the procession marched towards the county seat of Fangshan County.

There is no river coming directly, and the Liuli River does not flow this way, otherwise there would be no need to dig a well.

"There are dark clouds, is it going to rain?"

While on the road, a gust of wind blew, and the clouds in the sky were gathering and gradually becoming darker in color.

The fifth child, Zhu Ru, felt the impact of low air pressure. He panted hard and looked up at the sky, waiting for the heavy rain to fall. He felt that there should be a downpour, otherwise why would it be so boring?
Everyone looked at the sky, including Zhu Wentian, who was in a bad mood.

The dark clouds are not continuous, but only in some areas. This kind of cloud is most common in Yazhou, Qiongzhou Prefecture, which has a tropical monsoon climate.

Just like this rain, it always falls for a few minutes, and then the clouds pass and disappear.

For example, the straight-line distance between Sanya Bay and Dadonghai is less than ten kilometers, and there is a hill in the middle. It rains heavily in Dadonghai, but the sun shines brightly in Sanya Bay.

What kind of rain is it raining? Sun rain.
