Villager of Daming

Chapter 1311: New Year's Eve Message

"Bang~~~Boom~~~Hua..." "Crackle~~Crackle..."

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye it is the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month. There is no 30th day of the twelfth lunar month this year, so today is the 30th.

Zhu Yuanzhang brought his harem and civil and military officials to Xiaqiao Village to celebrate the New Year. The village was large and not cold.

The families of officials in Beijing were invited here and there was enough space.

Tomorrow is the first day of the first lunar month. Various ceremonies will be held. After the ceremonies, there will be a meal. The officials on duty will stay, while the other officials and their families will go back.

The officials' families wore beautiful clothes, which were first measured by the garment workshop in Xiaqiao Village and then delivered to their homes after being made.

When we got there, boys and girls were separated, and there were special arrangements for the children, with each breastfeeding baby being given a stroller.

Prince of Liang, Borjigin Bazaravarmi, was also there. He had become accustomed to life in Nanjing, so a mansion was built specifically for him, with water supply and drainage, 24-hour hot water for bathing and drinking, and floor heating.

He felt that life in Nanjing, Ming Dynasty was good, and he went out for a walk every day despite the cold.

Since arriving in Nanjing during the winter solstice, he had seen the iron mining and smelting in Ma'anshan on the way, learned about a large shipbuilding dock, and took a stroll around the industrial zone. He felt completely at ease.

The Northern Yuan minister who came with him also felt that surrender was the right choice, and he thought his workshop in Yunnan was quite good.

As a result, I was shocked by the scale of the buildings in the industrial zone. The two sides were not on the same level.

Later in the twelfth lunar month, Zhu Wentian and his friends made diodes and transistors that could be used for small-scale industrial production.

This is very useful! You can make a lot of good things.

Cannons were not built, so they would take up space on the ship. What would the enemy do if they were placed on the shore? Could the enemy still blockade the sea?

With more heavy machine guns and small mortars, they can easily bully others in naval battles.

The ships of the Ming Navy had large tonnage, fast movement and turning speeds, and when they reached a certain distance, they could fire heavy machine guns at the enemy's wooden ships, which could not stop them.

There are more assault rifles, rifles and pistols, and these weapons are simply not from the same era as those found elsewhere.

Rifles are made in large numbers because they can hit accurately at long distances and save bullets. Heavy machine guns can hit farther and can be calibrated while firing. The bullets are expensive, and all the gunfire costs money.

Shuilianzhu's rifles will be distributed to the villages in the future so that they can be used to hunt wild boars and other difficult-to-deal-with beasts such as tigers, wolves, brown bears, black bears, etc.

If you come across a roe deer with musk in it, don't hit it. Tell the government and see if you can catch it alive. Find a way to send it to Yingtian Prefecture or other breeding bases and extract the musk alive for use in medicine. Musk is very precious.

It is not necessary to catch the bear alive, as it is difficult to catch and there will be casualties. If you want to extract the bear's bile while it is still alive, send the army.

Some bears are captured for breeding and farming, while others are taken for their bile while they are still alive. It is not because people feel sorry for the bears and are reluctant to kill them, but because bear bile is hard to find.

Zhu Wentian didn't care whether the bear was in pain or not, and the other people in the Ming Dynasty didn't care whether the bear lived or died.

Generally, when local authorities receive information about bears, leopards, tigers, wolves, etc., they will issue a reward notice and urge them to be quickly taken care of before they can hurt anyone.

This was the situation in the Ming Dynasty. There was food and fodder, weapons and soldiers who dared to fight.

Historically, King Liang was hesitant to surrender, but people from the Northern Yuan Dynasty came and killed Wang Yi, the Ming envoy who went to persuade him to surrender. This happened last year, in 1373.

This time the Northern Yuan court was gone, having been driven away to an unknown place. Wang Yi, who was sent out, lived in Yunnan and was not killed.

He is very eager to come back. He is fifty-three years old this year. Very good! He has made great contributions in his mission and will be rewarded.

The wife of Borjigin Bazaravarmi was also there. She lived well and was not forced to die in Dianchi Lake. Everyone who celebrated the Spring Festival together was very happy. There was no war or killing, and those who surrendered enjoyed good treatment.

The winter in Yunnan is not very cold, so some vegetables can be grown. There are more vegetables to eat in Yingtian Prefecture, and the prices of vegetables keep falling.

As long as people are willing to spend five to ten times more than in spring, summer and autumn, they can eat the vegetables of that time, including garlic chives and dandelions.

There are more mushrooms, so the people who are willing to cooperate grow them at home. We give them the mushroom strains and they are responsible for watering and maintaining the temperature. The mushrooms are collected by Xiaqiu Village and sold wholesale at a 5% markup.

People who grow mushrooms can sell them themselves if they want. Retail sales are more expensive, but they still have to pay for the mushroom seeds.

People are basically unwilling to sell their products themselves because they are difficult to sell and a waste of time.

"For food, try this dog claw snail. It's very delicious. Its scientific name is gooseneck barnacle. Local people on the coast don't like to eat it because there is little meat and it is difficult to dig..."

Zhu Chong was in a good mood today and introduced some food to Gege Haji. The two of them sat next to each other.

The wedding took place on the second day of February, and the King of Qin took a concubine.

"Thank you, Your Highness!" Gege Haji was also looking forward to the day of his marriage, so that he would have a home, and those who followed his brother would have a home.

He arranged a group of people to go to Xi'an Prefecture, where people of all ethnic groups lived since the Tang Dynasty, and they could live in peace.

She no longer cared about what to eat. She had been eating good food every day recently. She had been to the Prince Qin's Mansion and was quite satisfied.

Zhu Chong didn't live in the palace at all because she couldn't move in.

She lived in Xiaqiu Village, where she played with Xie Qiaoer, Xu Yihua and others. She taught them archery and horse riding, and she had good skills.

Zhu Chong went to the store to manage things during the day. Sometimes he would come back at noon and go back after eating.

The main reason is that people in Xiaqiu Village don’t go to the Heya Restaurant, so Zhu Wentian is busy in the laboratory.

Zhu Chong sometimes waited for people from Xiaqiu Village to come and deliver food, and sometimes he simply took his three younger brothers back to the village to eat and made a phone call in advance.

He doesn't go to lunch box restaurants because the food is not tasty.

Gegehaji ate a snail, hesitated, and asked in a low voice: "Brother Hanhan and his family are getting married on the same day as us. How did the people from the Ministry of Rites arrange it?"

"Etiquette is improved and revised bit by bit. In ancient times, would they get married like today? We have to trust the Ministry of Rites. The officials in the Ministry of Rites have received many benefits."

Zhu Chong felt that he shouldn't worry about this matter. Marriage in the Xia Dynasty was different from that now. Wouldn't it be easy to find an etiquette explanation?
He continued, "Mortars, heavy machine guns, assault rifles are all good! There are also newly-made diesel tractors and gasoline cars, and telegraphs that don't need relay stations. The triode is so useful.

It enables ocean-going ships to carry large amplification equipment and maintain communications with Nanjing, even on the other side of the globe.

What is the use of communicating with Nanjing? If we encounter any problems, Xiaqiu Village will give us guidance and suggestions. Even in the remote potato production area, we can get technical support. "

“There are even better things, things that can communicate wirelessly, which are very convenient to carry with you.

The expert from Xiaqiu Village is amazing. How did he make it? He said it was a transistor walkie-talkie that could communicate over ten kilometers.

I just don't know why they have to call it 702 walkie-talkie? How did they get the number?
This thing is amazing! Whether it is a land battlefield or a naval battle, with it, command is as easy as giving orders. "

Gegehaji followed suit and boasted about the more advanced walkie-talkie that could talk. The only thing she couldn't figure out was the name. Does 702 have any special meaning?
