Villager of Daming

Chapter 1273 Lu Wei is afraid of being embarrassed in the future

Qiqili and Nahachu felt a headache after listening to these things, but Gegehaji was very interested in them and had been learning a lot from Zhu Chong recently.

Zhu Gang was equally happy as Zhu Di. Zhu Di's territory was in Beiping Prefecture, closest to Hebei, and was surrounded by the Beiping Province.

Zhu Chong's Taiyuan Prefecture was a little far from the Yellow River, but across Niangzi Pass was Beijing Province. Zhu Wentian's Shijiazhuang at that time was very close to Taiyuan.

Lao Wu didn't care. He was still young and couldn't be enfeoffed for a while. He didn't want to go to Haozhou either. He went back to Xiaqiu Village to give advice and change the location.

Places like Luoyang or Kaifeng are fine, as they are close to my brothers. If that doesn't work, I can go to Shandong to find a place to stay.

Or Suzhou and Yangzhou, which are close to my parents, people from Xiaqiao Village can take a boat to take a look and contact them if they have any questions.

"This road can still be used in the future!" Tu Yajie discovered the situation and felt that there was no need to repair the road for normal travel.

The imperial court specially used ships to transport road construction tools from other places, and even used explosives, which wasted time.

As he watched the road being repaired, he suddenly realized that as long as someone maintained it, it could be used for a long time.

"It's convenient for people who moved here from other places to travel, and it makes transportation smoother. The key is the people who built the road... good idea!"

Wang Zhangyi, the leader of another allied tribe, took over the conversation. He wanted to say that the imperial court was looking for free labor, but he didn't dare!
"That's right!" The village head admitted. Otherwise, why would he go to such great lengths? If he wasted his energy now, it would be easier once others arrived.

When other people move here in the future, it will be very difficult to build roads like we are doing now. We won’t be able to organize the manpower and everyone will be busy.

It seems that a little time has been wasted now, but it has laid a good foundation for the future.

"I don't know when I can come back. There are no rabbit traps over there in the winter!"

Nahachu knew why he left. In order to prevent his people from leaving the Ming Dynasty again, he would rather replace them than leave without taking his people away.

He didn't know that in history, after he surrendered, he was arranged to fight King Liang in Yunnan. One purpose was to prevent him from returning to the Northern Yuan Dynasty, and the other was to consume his army.

However, he died of illness on the way, and his men continued to fight King Liang. As for how he died of illness, it is no longer important.

There is no need for him to fight King Liang now, and there is no need to waste his men. If he wants to fight King Liang, he can wait until the army has more good weapons and then push forward directly.

I think if we use mortars, assault rifles and rifles used as sniper rifles, King Liang will surrender after a round of attacks.

The key is that it does not require too much manpower. By taking the Yangtze River waterway, steam ships carrying personnel and supplies can quickly reach the destination.

After the docks and warehouses were built and steam locomotives were used to transport goods, the army in front changed to advancing by land.

What's more, Yunnan has many rivers. You can go there from Sichuan, and also to Guizhou. You can also go there by sea from Vietnam, which is now called Dai Viet. They hate the Yuan Dynasty even more because it always attacked them before.

Nahachu now only thinks about whether he can come back once he leaves. He wants to see what it would be like if the Ming Dynasty court were to govern this place.

"Come if you want. This place is rich in mineral resources, including open-pit iron ore, coal, bauxite, gold, refractory clay, limestone, and even oil. It's just that it's difficult to mine. It's better to find a way elsewhere."

The head of the village didn't object to the other party coming back to take a look, but he wouldn't bring troops back to fight and just treat it as a trip.

Hanhan said that there are abundant resources in this place, otherwise why would they work so hard to build roads. The only trouble is that the factory built in the early stage needs to be kept secret.

Other places don’t know how easy it is to smelt iron and steel. We need to build better blast furnaces in the future and are currently stockpiling materials for blast furnace construction.

Local blast furnaces cause too much pollution, generate too much waste, and consume more manpower, so they are not cost-effective.

"Is there a greenhouse there?" Qiqili suddenly said something inexplicable. "Yes!" Everyone knew that this was the place they were going to migrate to, and now someone was bringing materials to build a greenhouse to provide everyone with food in the winter.

We also need to plant cabbage, radish, carrot, green onion, onion and other vegetables that can be stored in the winter.

Give more garlic so that people can grow bean sprouts at home in winter and grow leeks in greenhouses.

But Qiqili should stay in Yingtian Prefecture in winter and not let these people be put together with his own people.

Otherwise, who would they listen to? Would the court give them orders?

……

The people who are moving don't think too much about political issues. They only know that they lost the war and need to move to another place.

The emperor of the Ming Dynasty was willing to give things and money, and even gave them houses to live in when they moved to the new place. He said that every family could use a coal-burning stove and a well-fired kang, so they would not freeze to death if they did not go outside in the winter.

The winters in the place I want to go are not as cold as here, the land is better for growing crops, there will be no more wars, and I won’t have to live in fear all day long.

The slaves were even more excited because they already knew that the Ming Emperor had redeemed them and they needed to work hard to repay him in the future.

The wages were high, and each month a portion of it was used to repay debts, with the rest being available for personal use. If one could learn literacy and arithmetic, there would be monetary rewards.

After you pay all the money, all the money you earn from working is yours. If you study hard, you can get a job as an official.

They were full of energy and began to imagine the good days ahead. The pie they drew was big enough and they seemed to smell the fragrance...

The Jurchen people have long wanted to stop staying here. They can go to the nurses' place and experience other people's lives. That is what they deserve.

The Jurchens further away were still hesitating, and those further away had no idea of ​​the news and were continuing their lives as usual.

"So we're not going to Sarhu, right?" When everyone was having lunch at noon today, Nahachu suddenly remembered the information he had obtained.

At that time, it was said that the princes were going to Sarhu. Do they still need to go?
"We originally wanted to lure you in to fight, including the approximate location of the gold mine that was leaked. In fact, we know the exact location.

Sarhu is full of trees, so what kind of ceremony can be held? Trees are indeed good, especially large pine trees, which have more pine nuts when they are old.

In the future, we should plant more oak trees here and raise oak silkworms, which eat cocoons and pupae. They are better than mulberry silkworms, which can be poisonous. It would be better if we improve the varieties, but we don't have time to change that.

There is no technology to reel silk from cocoons after peeling the pupae, but you can scald them and use them as fillings..."

The head of the village smiled and explained the situation, "Yes, we will not go to Sarhu. We will wait for this time to make arrangements, and then go home and take you back to see His Majesty."

His Majesty will confer titles on you, but they will have no real power. The former officials will help compile history, and those who cannot compile history will enjoy their retirement or become minor local officials.

"Okay! Alas~~" Nahachu sighed. He didn't want to see Zhu Yuanzhang. He had been captured by Zhu Yuanzhang before. At that time, in order to avoid becoming a targeted force, Zhu Yuanzhang released him.

After some years, you still have to face the person who caught you.

"Our ship is doing well now. As long as we don't encounter strong winds, we can enjoy the scenery on the sea."

Liu Sheng changed the subject. He guessed what Nahachu was thinking, but he thought he could think about it from another angle. He was caught then and was caught again now, which showed that His Majesty was indeed powerful and it was not shameful to surrender.
