Villager of Daming

Chapter 1276 Bai Lu Returns More Handsome

The fleet was sailing through the waves, and a large dark cloud came over, and it started to rain heavily. An hour later, the sun came out and the weather was bright.

The people who had hidden in the cabin came out to see the scenery. The sea view...

I thought it was great when I first saw it, but after seeing it too much, I found it boring. It’s the same with seeing the lake too much, or the sea, it’s not interesting at all.

The Xuanwu Lake to the north of Xiaqiu Village outside Chaoyangmen is large in area. Of course, it is not as big as Dongting Lake, Poyang Lake, Taihu Lake and other lakes, and it is not even as big as Shijiu Lake. There is a big difference!
Even if Zhu Wentian tried hard to expand Xuanwu Lake, the surrounding mountains had determined that the lake could not be too large, otherwise it would flood Nanjing.

Although Gege Haji was from the Northern Yuan Dynasty, she had never been to Nanjing and had not even seen the Yangtze River and the Yellow River.

She jumped on the deck and said, "Your Highness, how many women are there on the Qinhuai River? Can flower boats not enter the sea?"

Zhu Chong: "A lot... or not much... uh... let's think about it, we always pass by and never go in to see, Ling'er, are there many people?"

Zhu Chong cared more about Gege Haji. At least after he met Gege Haji, he did not let the palace maids who had a good relationship with him always stay around him.

When he goes to bed at night, he has someone to keep him company, but he doesn't have to work hard every day.

Ling'er: "..."

She thought, why are you asking me? If you haven't been there, just tell me how much you've been there. You're not allowed to go there.

"A lot!" Ling'er knew that Xiaqiu Village had business with the brothel. They sold greenhouse vegetables in winter and also sold other things at other times.

Including some clothes with less fabric, and when I get back I still have to run electrical wires and install lights in the brothel, and the electricity bill is very expensive.

By the way, install the heater as well. Otherwise, if you keep burning charcoal when it’s cold, what if your guests get carbon monoxide poisoning?
It's a big project. The wooden building has heating pipes, water pipes and sewer pipes inside, so it needs support.

When you want to take a bath, take a bath. If you don’t have time to take a bath, use the shower. The floor in the bathroom should be non-slip, and there should be a circle of high and low handrails to prevent you from falling accidentally.

Gegehaji's eyes widened: "Sister Ling'er, have you been there? I heard that the women in Qinhuai River wear beautiful clothes?"

"Go! To discuss business, you can't ask the men from Xiaqiu Village to go there, even though there are men there.

You don't have to go to a brothel to find beautiful clothes, we have them. Many of the clothes are designed by us and they are very beautiful.

Wait for the place to be chosen, take what you like, the cost is not high, unless you want embroidery.

The price of silk has increased more than tenfold when trading with the barbarians. You can take it or leave it. Why would such a good thing be sold at such a low price?"

When Ling'er was talking about the brothel, the topic naturally turned to making money from the barbarians.

"I have a lot of silk and satin. Sister Ling'er, take some away. Actually, these should be considered spoils of war. They are all yours."

When Gege Haji heard that the things were valuable, she was very happy. Although she was skilled in archery and horse riding, she also liked beautiful things.

For example, the tourbillon watch on his hand is the same as the one worn by Xie Qiaoer and Xu Yihua, representing the recognition of Xiaqiu Village. Anyway, Zhu Chong needs to take a concubine.

Gegehaji is prettier than Guanyinnu, and is studious, smart, a little wild, and willing to think for the people of the tribe...

Ling'er readily agreed: "Okay! I'll give you a music box that I made myself. Qiao'er and Yihua will each have one.

One box can select three songs. It is a mathematical problem and compatibility is the most important.

The auxiliary is materials science. Without material support, we can’t do it.

Do you want to learn? You have to wait for a while, wait for a suitable opportunity. Right now, our Ming Dynasty attaches the most importance to stability. "

Ling'er didn't refuse, even though there was a lot of silk if she wanted. She could see that Gegehaji wanted to learn knowledge, and this... couldn't be taught.

What if it spreads to other places? It will affect Ming Dynasty trade, so the technology will not be passed on, and the technicians will not be allowed to leave the supervision area.

"I know!" Gege Haji said that she understood. As for advanced technology, she currently had no specific involvement with His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin.

"It will be the White Dew Festival when we get there, let's choose clothes and I will help you design them.

Now people in Xiaqiu Village like to wear whatever clothes are made, even the factory work clothes. Work clothes are used to ensure the comfort and safety of workers, and different clothes have different functions.

Some cannot carry static electricity, some must be moisture-proof, and some must be heat-insulating.

Of course, they all need to be beautiful, that is, to look good, to look good in the clothes, and to feel happy. "

Ling'er chose some techniques that can be taught. The first priority of work clothes is safety, the second is comfort, and the third is appearance.

"Okay, okay! I see the crew's clothes are very nice. They are all sewn by the female workers in our factory, right? It's not easy!"

Gege Haji finally asked the question she had always wanted to know but was afraid that others would suspect her. She wanted to know why the uniforms of the Ming army were so good.

“You’re right if you put it that way, it’s really stitch by stitch.

But we have sewing machines, which can sew quickly and edge the fabrics easily.

With a pedal-operated sewing machine, you can sew a row of threads with just a click. The stitches are dense and the interval between them can be selected.

Although she can embroider simple embroidery, the craftsmanship is far inferior to that of Suzhou embroidery, Shu brocade and other places.

We have it, I will show you, it is easy to operate, you can put other things on it, but it is more suitable to use the pedals.”

Ling'er said as Ragge Haji went to the cabin, and Xie Qiao'er and Xu Yihua followed naturally, as they both knew how to operate it.

……

Bailu arrived as planned, and there were no accidents along the way.

Ships of 3,000 tons can go directly from the sea into the Yangtze River, and then from the Yangtze River into Xuanwu Lake, mainly because the water depth is sufficient.

A large group of people got off the boat and took a small train into Xiaqiu Village. Xiaqiu Village covers a large area and has many vacant houses.

This is to deal with special situations. For example, if Nanjing is attacked from outside, then if the imperial city is in danger, everyone will go to Xiaqiu Village together, including the army.

The people of Xiaqiu Village cooperated with the palace maids and eunuchs to arrange where everyone lived. There were many people and officials in Nahachu. Although they had no real power, they all ran to Nahachu when there was a war.

Nahachu was also willing to be resettled so that he could gain more say. Most of these officials were nobles.

It’s useless now. The Northern Yuan Dynasty was defeated and no one knows where it has gone.

Places are allocated according to rank, regardless of whether there are conflicts between the parties. It is better to have conflicts.

Surnames are worthless at this moment, and those who previously held military power, such as Nahachu, are treated the best.

They cannot meet Zhu Yuanzhang today, so they need to wait for someone to teach them first, and then make sure there are no mistakes before holding the ceremony.

Zhu Yuanzhang, Empress Ma, and Concubine Sun went to Xiaqiao Village. The Crown Prince and the Crown Princess were also there. The Crown Princess had been there all the time, but had not returned to the Crown Prince's Mansion recently.

Zhu Biao helped his father deal with some memorials during the day, and returned to Xiaqiu Village to rest at night, see his son and daughter, and spend some time with the Crown Princess.

Now the Crown Princess is not allowed to get pregnant immediately, so physical measures have to be taken on Zhu Biao.

……

"Yes, he has grown taller. How come you can't tell whether he has gained weight or lost weight? He hasn't gotten tanned either. Xiaqiu Village is really amazing!"

Empress Ma first saw her four sons. She thought they would be dark and thin, but she found no change. The only change was their height.

"Tired! Mother! I can run a long distance now. There are many hills over there, and it was very hard!"

Lao Wu said that he felt bitter, but there was no expression on his face.
