Chapter 1321: No Nervous Night Torment (Six and Seven Chapters)

Chapter 1320: The Disaster is Imminent (Six Other Chapters)
As soon as Zhu Yuanzhang's words came out, the officials looked at Hanhan first. This man was no longer just a village guard, he was also a master.

An expert said that there will be an earthquake this year, and it will be in the capital.

As I said before, hail damaged the wheat.

The words given are: In April of the eighth year of Hongwu, hail damaged wheat in Lintao, Pingliang and Hezhou.

These are three prefectures, located to the north of Taiyuan Prefecture.

At that time, Zhu Wentian was in three places in Gansu. The eighth year of Hongwu was this year. There was hail in April of the lunar calendar this year, which damaged the wheat.

The officials were used to this, but what they were not used to was that before the hail fell this year, the court sent a lot of good fireworks.

As soon as the clouds gathered in the sky, a bunch of fireworks flew up.

In those places where there were bamboos, the people were obedient and used the bamboos to build launch pads that were twenty or thirty feet high and launched the fireworks as high as possible.

At the same time, be prepared for flushing. If small hail falls, flush it away immediately with water, otherwise it will cause a freezing disaster.

Because fireworks have particles, they can prevent the hot air from the ground from rising and forming hail.

The low clouds, under the influence of fireworks and the temperature of air flow, turned into rain.

Xiaqiu Village said that they are currently researching better fireworks that can be launched higher, and use them to fly directly into the clouds. This will not only easily block hail, but also serve as artificial rainfall when encountering clouds.

I just saw it, I think it was the rocket, it flies farther than the fireworks.

If the fireworks that were transported there were sold, they could buy one-twentieth of the wheat from three prefectures.

If hailstones were allowed to fall and smash the wheat, the loss would be at least three-quarters, meaning that seven-tenths of the wheat would be earned.

But it is the people who make money and the court who pays. The people make all the money and get to watch the fireworks during the day, while the court loses one twentieth of the money and sees nothing.

Is it worth it? Yes!
It used to be a war zone. After the Ming Dynasty occupied it, the people were in unrest. It was not until the Northern Yuan Dynasty was driven away that the people were able to live a good life.

A burst of fireworks killed the hail in advance, and the small pieces of ice that fell could no longer cause any damage to the wheat.

This is just like the flood in Shu. The imperial court organized the people to escape, and after they left, they found that there was really a flood, and then they planted pickled mustard tubers to make money, and their trust in the imperial court was beyond words.

The imperial court had foresight and paid a lot of money to gain the support and trust of the people, and the local area was stable.

There is another thing happening this year, which has already begun. An expert said: In July of the eighth year of Hongwu, there will be a flood in Huai'an, Beiping, Henan, and Shandong.

There was drought and locust plague before, and suddenly there was a flood. Who could have imagined this?
Now we are waiting for the result from a telegram from some place. However, it has indeed started to rain heavily. The river has been dredged and every household has put their belongings in place.

Look at the situation on the land. Even if there is a flood, we still need to plant the land! Build more drainage ditches and fill in low-lying areas.

This has been going on since the year before last, not this year. The expert said it two years ago, no, it was the year before last. The court took action only two years ago.

This year, the earthquake occurred in the capital, which is right under our feet. When was it? Today is the third day of the seventh month. The earthquake occurred on the tenth day of the seventh month.

It is said that after the earthquake in July, there was another earthquake on the third day of the twelfth lunar month.

If someone else dared to say this, he would have been arrested and beaten long ago, but this is just a fool's words. Get ready! Don't think about anything, there will be no accidents.

"Your Majesty, the people are ready, but we don't know the exact time."

The Minister of Revenue Yu Pu spoke up. He was in charge of allocating money. If an earthquake came, he had to arrange for the people to get the money.

Li Min, the Minister of Industry, followed up: "The plain area on the south bank of the Qinhuai River is rushing to harvest corn. It has just matured. We can vacate the land tomorrow and set up temporary tents."

In theory, corn harvesting is under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Households, but disaster relief is under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Works. Li Min mentioned the two together. This year, early corn was planted there and it was just right to harvest it now. The timing was very accurate.

This is the power of the masters. They know that there will be a disaster, and they also know when and what kind of disaster will happen. Hiding is one thing, but also trying not to delay production and construction.

The corn actually belonged to the palace, and Xiaqiu Village arranged the planting area and staff to take care of it, including pest control, disease treatment, and fertilization...

"That's good! Oh! What did the Imperial Observatory of the Ming Dynasty say?"

Nahachu, this surrendered man, is always talking about things that are not related to the topic.

"Just make the arrangements!" Zhu Yuanzhang said. He couldn't clean up the Imperial Observatory, which needed to help record the climate and celestial phenomena in various places, as well as changes in rivers and the changes in the sun, moon and stars in the sky.

As Hanhan said, the Imperial Observatory cannot be eliminated, can't you just adjust its functions?

Zhu Yuanzhang did not expect the Imperial Astronomical Observatory to predict disasters, but as long as he had Hanhan, that was enough!

Everyone continue to eat, eat slowly, don’t rush, go to sleep when you feel sleepy, and continue eating when you wake up, until tomorrow night!

The market downstairs is operating normally. We know an earthquake is coming, seven days later. There is no rush now. We should eat, drink and sleep.

The news that the people received was that the Imperial Observatory announced the disaster. Some people said it was caused by a master from Xiaqiao Village. It was even rumored that the master was Hanhan, the village guard of Xiaqiao Village.

Faced with this situation, Zhu Wentian did not order people to arrest anyone or make excuses, but continued to spread the news, saying that the place where the capital was located was actually a special place in the Classic of Mountains and Seas.

It is also said that Hanhan is twenty feet tall and twenty feet around, a big ball.

They also said that Crown Prince Zhu Biao was a dragon descended from heaven, and that Your Majesty was the emperor of mankind...

Anyway, they just spread all kinds of messy rumors and shared their own rumors. Some of them are very exaggerated, such as Hanhan is a big ball, people can see it! Where is the ball? The rumors are not credible!
Some people packed up their belongings and prepared to move, but they felt that their houses were not strong enough, so they moved all their pots and pans away.

If the house collapses, God knows what will happen. A broken house is worth a fortune and none of it can be lost.

The people in Yingtian Prefecture were not worried at all. The imperial court was so powerful that it could always predict disasters in advance. Otherwise, how could they win the battle? There was a reason for this!

"Your Majesty, I heard that after the earthquake, all the bungalows in the capital are to be rebuilt into four-story buildings?"

Liu Bowen, who was strolling around various departments, looked at the shrimp in front of him and asked about Zhu Yuanzhang's real estate.

There are plenty of prawns in the Bohai Sea and the Yellow Sea. If you go out fishing, bring ice with you so you can eat them when you come back from catching the prawns.

Xiaqiu Village provided the imperial palace with live shrimps. The bamboo shrimps were caught and raised before being sent to Xuanwu Lake. They were then transferred to the village on railway tracks and continued to be raised.

There are no heavy metals, and there is no way to get rid of parasites. The only way is to heat it at high temperature, but it is also okay to eat it raw. There are the most parasites in the shrimp head, but there are basically no parasites in the shrimp waist, and even if there are, the shrimp can be killed.

Liu Bowen prefers to eat prawns. In fact, most people like to eat them, especially fresh ones.

"You ask Yichang, we can't control much."

Zhu Yuanzhang was feeding his eldest grandson salt-baked prawns. Zhu Xiongying had hinted several times that he could eat it, but Zhu Yuanzhang disagreed and said, "Feed you."

The more I look at this eldest grandson, the more I like him. He is sensible and smart, and most importantly, he doesn't make any noise. He is also nice to the palace maids and eunuchs.

When asked why, the eldest grandson said: "My status is such that I can be beheaded, and those who serve me understand this. In this case, my power is already there, so I should be gentle, so why should I deceive others?"
"Yichang!" Liu Bowen smiled at Zhu Xiongying and turned to look at the head of the village.

He wanted to ask Hanhan even more, but he didn't dare. There was no point in asking such a trivial matter.

He was more afraid of Hanhan. When he learned this kind of thing, what he feared most was people who were more capable than him. He always thought that Hanhan was a calculated disaster.

“It’s relocation, we’re being paid, and we’ll move back once the building is finished.

For a bungalow, one square meter of area is given, and for a garden or yard, a subsidy of 500 wen per square meter is given.

But it is not a four-story building, but an eight-story one, and it will be rebuilt after the earthquake is over, so that a large area of ​​land can be left for the imperial court.

If the common people wanted a bigger house, they had to buy it for one thousand wen per square meter.

This is set for people who have large gardens, allowing them to turn their gardens or yards into houses.

For people with small yards, the rent will be based on the building area, with the rate being two square meters for every square meter of building area.

If a family of nine people squeeze into a 50-square-meter house with no yard.

The buildings will be allocated at the rate of 30 square meters per person, that is, 270 square meters.

All things considered, the larger the yard or garden, the less cost-effective it is.

No matter which one it is, the building has heating, running water and sewage.

We have also reserved space for elevators. In two years, when our technology has improved and we have more money, we will install elevators for the people.

The people do not need to pay for it, it can be installed and used for free. It is part of social welfare and will be tried in the capital first.

Because you collect money, the people are not happy, they would rather climb to the eighth floor, and force money out of the people, which can only mean that there is a problem with the court’s finances..."

The village head patiently explained to Liu Bowen the arrangements for real estate and supporting facilities. Everything had been decided and they were just waiting for the earthquake.

It is very troublesome to demolish someone else's house without an earthquake, but there is an excuse or reason when there is an earthquake.

No matter how big the people's yards were or how the settlement was made, the imperial court would always gain the upper hand in the end.

Hanhan said that land is the most valuable. This is Nanjing, the capital. Throughout all dynasties, has the land in any capital been cheap?
The house is not worth the money, the house is the cost of materials and labor.

Land is the foundation of your own life, production and operation. If you have land but no house, you can build a house. If you have no land, where can you build the house?

Houses in Nanjing will become more and more expensive, including the south bank of Qinhuai River. When the economic benefits of growing crops are far less than the benefits of commercial housing, it is the moment when the land application attributes change.

"Oh! Is everything calculated? No, it's planned? Oh~~~!"

Liu Bowen felt a little lonely for a moment. The Ming Dynasty was changing too fast. He wouldn't be able to find a bungalow in Nanjing in the future!
"The pine nut corn is ready, everyone try it!"

Ling'er suddenly spoke up. She guessed what Liu Bowen was thinking. Brother Hanhan said that some people of the older generation don't want to change, and they will become unfamiliar after they change.

To put it bluntly, I just don’t want to study anymore. Studying is tiring!

Some people miss the past, while others resist new things with their stubborn temper.

In the industry of big buying and selling, that is, commercial behavior, it depends on the situation, and a lot of new does not mean good.

But in normal society, people who generally resist new things generally do not have good economic conditions.

Because these people are not good at learning and are unwilling to learn, they say that new things are bad. The poorer they are, the poorer they become.

But in large business activities, new things are not necessarily good, such as Ju Biqi.

People are already accustomed to those things. If you want to change them, you can come up with new products instead of getting rid of the old ones.

You must always stick to the old things. It is right to come up with something new. See if the customers accept it. If not, at least you still have a way out: you still have the original product to sell.

She knew that Liu Bowen was not like that. Liu Bowen was knowledgeable and understood metaphysics, and he had a very strong learning ability.

Liu Bowen was a sentimental person and he could accept both change and constancy.

Cui Hu in the Tang Dynasty wrote a poem: Last year on this day, the face of a man and the peach blossoms reflected each other's redness. I don't know where the face of a man has gone, but the peach blossoms still smile in the spring breeze.

This article says that people have changed, but the environment has not changed.

What we feel nostalgic about is people, and the memories of people.

What if the peach trees are gone? The peach trees were cut down and a field of corn was planted. All you can see are big corn cobs...

How is he going to write poetry again?

Could it be: Last year at this time, the face of a man and the peach blossoms reflected each other's redness. I don't know where the face of a man has gone, and the peach blossoms are no longer as beautiful as jade.

Is this about a person, or a description of the scenery of the hometown? Too bad! The person is gone, and the peach blossoms are gone too! Hahahaha... hehehehehe...

"Grandpa, let your grandson eat by himself! You take a rest!"

Zhu Xiongying over there was tired of being fed. He could cooperate with his hands and mouth when sucking, but when being fed by others, he could only cooperate with his mouth, which was even more tiring!
"It's better for you to eat by yourself. Here you go!" Zhu Yuanzhang compromised. The eldest grandson liked him no matter how he looked at him.

Zhu Xiongying finally took the initiative to pick up the food. He stretched out his chopsticks to pick up the small dish of shrimp and cucumber.

This is fine as a main dish, especially if you change it from a mixed dish to a stir-fry, such as stir-fried shrimp and cucumber.

In Xiaqiu Village, it can only be served as a side dish because the main dishes are better.

Zhu Xiongying chewed a small piece of cucumber core and turned to look at his silly uncle: "Uncle silly, will this small dish last until tomorrow?"

"It's okay if it freezes. As long as Xiaqiao Village doesn't freeze, it will be allocated to other places." Zhu Wentian responded.

"Can't we sell it for money? There's a boutique market downstairs, and the products from Xiaqiu Village must be high-quality."

Zhu Xiongying pointed to the market downstairs. Obviously he knew that the shrimps and cucumbers could not be kept overnight as it was hot.

Zhu Wentian smiled and said, "Why don't we cooperate with Xiongying? Xiongying provides the people and we provide the discs. After selling them, we can deduct the cost and make it 50%? Oh! What does 50% mean?"

"Uncle Hanhan, are you testing me? The abacus division formula is one divided by two. Move one bead down on the abacus and drop it to the top bead representing five. Just remember the position and not the number. At the end, look at the abacus to find out where the fixed star is and then read the number."

Zhu Xiongying answered with a smile, looking as if he knew the answer.

Zhu Wentian clasped his fists and said, "Thank you for your advice. Since our grandson has taught me skills, let's split the profits 30% to 70%. We get 30%, and the grandson gets 70%. "

"No, no, no!" Zhu Xiongying shook his head: "The emperor works hard, and worries about the people's livelihood every day. He is short of money. Uncle Hanhan will give 10%, and I will give 10%. The rest will be given to the emperor to use on the people."

"Congratulations, Your Majesty. Congratulations, Your Majesty, Your Majesty has taught your grandson well. At such a young age, he understands the sufferings of the people."

Hu Weiyong found an opportunity to promote himself, and he didn't want to go back to the two lakes to farm.

The others followed suit and cheered, and the people over there who were singing and dancing stopped.

"My grandson will take care of the money he earns. You can do whatever you want. Hehehehehe..."

Zhu Yuanzhang was happy. Look, everyone come and see, look at our grandson, oh my!

"Ah? Not even 10% of the profit? Uncle Hanhan, you have to give out your 10% as well."

Zhu Xiongying was stunned for a moment, then reacted.

"Hahahaha..." A burst of laughter rang out, and many people gave Zhu Xiongying a thumbs up. Awesome! This is the most amazing!
When doing business, he would give 80% of the profits to the palace, and he could keep 10% for himself, which made him responsible for benefiting the people. He could not keep the 10% anymore, so he had to give out all the profits.

Some people laughed along, but they still hadn’t figured out why they couldn’t even get 10%.

Zhu Wentian nodded: "Forget it, let's eat less meat! Give the money to the people, and use it however Xiongying says."

"Yeah! Let's find someone to sell the dishes." Zhu Xiongying nodded.

He had his own staff, while other uncles and aunts of his age did not have their own dedicated staff, namely Zhu Yuanzhang's sons and daughters.

Those people can only be managed by people in the various palaces, which are too small and have not yet been established.

Zhu Xiongying is special. He has his own palace maids, eunuchs, and guards. He is independent of the Prince's Mansion, but is supervised by the palace and the Prince's Mansion.

Two palace maids came over and were responsible for selling the dishes.

You cannot push the food in a large basin on a cart. It needs to be divided into plates in advance. This way it appears valuable and considered a fine product.

With the help of other people, Xiaqiu Village temporarily made plates out of bamboo tubes, specifically using the parts with nodes, with one node making two plates.

There was no time to boil it in salt water or dry it in the sun, so an oil paper box was put inside and the buyer took the container away together.

No matter what dish it is, it’s all fifty cents a box, sealed with oil paper so you can’t see it, it’s a blind box.

As soon as the team went out, without waiting for the hawking, someone saw the words on the sign and immediately shouted that he wanted all of them and asked people to go back and get the money.

There are words on the box: Xiaqiu Village

Print at the same time.

Just with these three words printed on it, the empty box is worth fifty cents, so it doesn’t matter what’s inside.

Xiaqiu Village rarely releases such things, and no one dares to fake them.

What's more, as for selling the steamed dishes, the people already knew that the steamed dishes made by the Guanglu Temple needed to be tasted and tested for poison, so the ones from Xiaqiao Village were not for Your Majesty.

It is said that things sent from the village to the palace were in boxes like this, which were sealed and delivered by women from Xiaqiu Village without stopping.

When the harem gets something, the box must be taken back.

As for whether it is the same box...just assume it is.

Actually, no, there are no such boxes for delivering vegetables in Xiaqiu Village, they are just normal containers. It is right for the people of Xiaqiu Village to deliver the vegetables personally.

Once things are sold in the market, they can’t be stopped at all. As time goes by, more and more merchants come to buy.

A box of discs costs fifty cents, and no matter how much you buy, it will never be enough.

The businessmen even had an argument, and then they negotiated and decided to distribute the plates according to their different backgrounds, strengths and relationships.

"So amazing? Uncle Hanhan, how much did it cost?"

Zhu Xiongying was looking through a telescope upstairs. The money was under his control and he took it very seriously.

"The packaging costs 20 cents, and the food inside costs from 10 to 5 cents, depending on what it is. Cucumbers are cheap, abalone is expensive, and shark fin is not available."

Zhu Wentian knew the cost. One cent each included cucumbers, pickled cowpeas, and eggplant butts, which are the eggplant stalks, the thorny skin and the tender core. If they were not tender, they would be discarded.

This thing is not worth any money at all. The ten-cent price is just for the seasoning and does not include labor costs.

There is no shark fin in the side dish. If you want shark fin, you have to kill the shark. A shark can only provide very little shark fin, so all of it is used as the main dish.

Shark meat is not tasty. Sharks expel impurities through their skin, so the meat becomes rather smelly. After soaking it in water and adding seasonings, it is better to make meat floss, which is provided to the army.

Therefore, shark meat has some aphrodisiac effect, which is higher than Cistanche deserticola.

"Okay!" The little guy was happy. He made a lot of money! He would ask Uncle Hanhan where to spend it later.

The banquet continued until the next night, when everyone went about their own business, as there was going to be an earthquake and the meal could not be wasted.

In a blink of an eye, the ninth day of July has arrived, and according to what was said, there will be an earthquake tomorrow.

It started to drizzle, which is usually the case before an earthquake. If something goes wrong underground, including hydrology, the magnetic field will change, making it easy for rain to fall in the sky, including the formation of earthquake clouds.

At this time, not only Nanjing but also Yingtian Prefecture was preparing.

All prefectures, including Taiping Prefecture and Ningguo Prefecture, began to respond to the earthquake. Mining was stopped, factories were also stopped, work, school and production were suspended.

Because historical records show that on the first day of the seventh month of autumn, there was an eclipse on the sun.

In Xinyou, it was changed to Taimiao.

In the year of Renxu, Fu Youde and Zhu Liangzu were summoned back, and Li Wenzhong and Gu Shi were stationed in Shanxi and Beiping. In the year of Wuchen, an imperial decree was issued that all officials should rush to the funeral of their parents without waiting for the news.

Earthquake in the capital. On Dingchou, rents of the affected fields in Yingtian, Taiping, Ningguo, Zhenjiang, Qi, and Huang prefectures were exempted.

On the 23rd day of the eighth month, Kuyuk Timur of the Yuan Dynasty died.

The solar eclipse and the Imperial Ancestral Temple mentioned above are not important, including the fact that officials do not need to report the death of their parents first.

The key lies in the part about the earthquake in the capital. Dingchou is August 24th in the Gregorian calendar and July 19th in the lunar calendar.

This is the ninth day after the earthquake, which occurred on the tenth day of July.

This shows that the news was transmitted slowly at that time. It took several days for the nearby state capital to report the earthquake situation, and then they held a meeting to exempt the land tax.

Why was the rent for the farmland exempted during the earthquake? It must be that the farmland was damaged. If the farmland was damaged, how could the house…

Of course, the loss of farmland can be caused by the overflowing of rivers due to the earthquake, as well as heavy rain, which usually occurs during earthquakes.

Zhu Wentian recalled all the historical records and expanded the scope a little. The data did not say what the magnitude of the earthquake was or how deep the epicenter was.

Isn’t there an earthquake on the other side of the river? If Taiping Prefecture is also shaken, then who in the nearby prefectures wants to escape?
The government and businessmen are all working hard, and it is their duty to serve the officials. If the officials are informed in advance and there are still problems, you have to think about the consequences yourself.

Merchants need a stable society to make money. They are not merchants in times of war and it is impossible for them to collaborate with the enemy and sell out their country.

Merchants have strong organizational skills. The bigger the merchant, the more powerful he is. In many cases, they are more efficient than the government.

Now they are helping to arrange the response to the earthquake, and all their subordinates have been sent out to work in the areas they have taken responsibility for.

Of course, there is another interesting historical record: the death of Kuyuk Timur of the Yuan Dynasty.

Kuyuk Timur of the Yuan Dynasty was Wang Baobao, the prince charming in the heart of Gege Haji, and his sister was a Guanyin slave.

Now Zhu Wentian has no idea whether he is dead or not! The people have all run away, where can he get the news?
Along that line where castles and beacon towers were built, the Northern Yuan army had not been seen for a long time, but everyone remained vigilant and ready to respond to enemy attacks at any time.

At the same time, they always sent scouts out to hunt and bring back money to subsidize everyone's family expenses. Those who went out would get 20%.

Then outside, people who go out will also grow soybeans.

Because birds don't eat raw soybeans, only bugs do.

Birds will have bloating if they eat raw soybeans, which are difficult to digest. This is the experience left in the genes of birds as they die from generation to generation.

Soybeans are not considered food crops, and most people are unwilling to grow them. They are still hungry, so why eat tofu and soybean oil?
The frontline officers and soldiers on the outermost line have no time to plant anything else. Soybeans are the most suitable crop. After planting, they can harvest it in time and at the same time check whether the soybean fields have been damaged by humans.

Only one crop of soybeans is planted a year. In nearby areas, sorghum and soybeans can be intercropped, and the harvest belongs to the soldiers guarding the border.

They are at the forefront. Every castle has a department store. They charge high prices for goods and there is basically zero profit in buying and selling here.

But this is already very good, otherwise we have to support the border even if we lose money. Being able to balance income and expenditure proves that the operation is strong enough!

In fact, no one cares whether Wang Baobao lives or dies.

He can't do that. No matter how great his military skills are, he still needs good soldiers to use, especially weapons.

The Ming Dynasty now has all its artillery and rocket launchers. Not making them does not mean that they cannot be made. If you dare to provoke us, as long as the stalemate lasts for a period of time, you will know what it means to wipe out the land with artillery fire.

"Is it safe here? Where's Hanhan?"

Waiting for the earthquake, Zhu Yuanzhang did not dare to live in the palace and ran to a flat-floor house prepared in Xiaqiu Village.

There are many supports for the prefabricated house, so there will be no problem unless the ground is cracked.

"Your Majesty, Hanhan is cooking! She's not far away and will be here soon! I estimate that the earthquake will occur in the early morning of tomorrow, and it will be affected by the position of the moon, like a tidal wave.

Theoretically, earthquakes are most likely to occur on the first and fifteenth days of the lunar month. All the energy... uh... just think of it as sound!

Sound travels faster through solids than through liquids, which in turn travel faster than through gases.

The same is true for the shock waves in the earth's crust. The internal cause is the pressure inside the earth, and the external cause is the gravity of the moon.

Therefore, before the tide, the ground moves first.

Tomorrow's early tide will be at around seven in the morning, and the speed of the ground will be faster than that of the ocean next to it, which means that the earthquake will begin before the tidal energy wave reacts to the tide.

Look, the poultry and livestock are reacting, and these are normally raised, they are getting agitated.”

As the head of the village spoke, he pointed to the dogs and poultry raised in the village outside, especially pigs, of which he also caught a few and put them in cages.

Animals are most sensitive to changes in magnetic fields, especially migratory birds, which use magnetic fields to determine flight directions.

The same is true in water. Many aquatic mammals will be stranded if the magnetic field is affected.

The poultry and livestock outside did react and wanted to leave.

"Where can they go if we let them go?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was curious. It was the first time he knew about an earthquake in advance and could observe the reactions of animals.

But earthquakes have a range. If we let the animals go now, where will they go?

“The farmed animals now react instinctively, and when you let them go, they will run a certain distance and then stop.

Especially dogs, the way dogs are raised in the village is the same as elsewhere, not as pets.

The more this happens, the more the dogs will recognize their owners. Even if they run away, they will run back. If you hit them on the head, they won't even dare to hide.

If there is a big dog leading the way, the puppy will quickly adapt to this class structure.

Without a large dog leash, the puppy will try hard to seek comfort from its owner. Don't pay any attention to it and just leave it outside the house.

It soon knows its class status, and then becomes loyal and able to endure both extreme heat and severe cold. If you give them some benefits occasionally, they will immediately be grateful.

But this is not the case for specially bred guide dogs, companion dogs, and military dogs.

Raising a dog is like raising a person. You have to control the benefits you give it. Giving too much may cause the dog to kill its owner.

We know what dogs need, but often we can’t provide more benefits, otherwise they will really bite their owners.”

The village head said that in terms of animal husbandry, dogs are the easiest to raise, but also the most difficult to raise.

"In that case, let's keep it closed! We need to see what this earthquake is like."

Zhu Yuanzhang actually knew more about raising dogs as he had experience with it when he was a child.

……

People in other places are also waiting, and it is very painful. Waiting is the most painful thing, especially when it comes to something like an earthquake.

No matter what you do subjectively, you cannot quell the earthquake. It is like waiting to be judged.

Fortunately, we know when the trial will take place and what the approximate severity of the sentence will be!

You judge yours and I live mine. You have no other means except this earthquake, so can we just avoid it?

Pregnant women take pregnancy-stabilizing or pregnancy-protecting drugs, and children should prepare Anshen Powder, Anhun Powder, and Anshen Syrup, and feed them according to the specific situation. Otherwise, do not feed them.

The elderly and those with poor heart function are given nitroglycerin and quick-acting heart-saving pills to avoid accidental loss of life.

The military tents were built properly, and the windows were covered with plastic sheets to allow for brightness without appearing depressing.

The vegetables that need to be eaten are also washed and cut into various shapes. Earthquakes are earthquakes, but we cannot skip meals.

Local officials had a good sleep yesterday. Today, in addition to looking around for situations, they will also take a short nap when they have time. They don’t want to die suddenly.

Before midnight, the people were told to sleep if they could and not to hold on, and that the earthquake would only happen tomorrow. There would definitely not be any earthquake today because the imperial court was very powerful!
Zhu Yuanzhang was also sleeping. He was woken up at one o'clock in the morning. Zhu Wentian asked him to eat skewers and drink wine.

The prince and others were all there, including some key figures from Nahachu.

There are six grills, and the teenagers from Xiaqiu Village are in charge.

Ling'er stayed beside her silly brother, helping to pass things with a happy look on her face.

She is happy all day now, giggling occasionally, and fortunately she doesn't get distracted when she enters the laboratory.

Everyone took a shower first, even washed their hair, and felt much more energetic after blow-drying it.

"There is still one day left in the dog days, and it is drizzling. The nights are getting hotter and hotter, with no coolness at all. Alas!"

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed while holding a beer glass filled with ice. In fact, he was nervous. It was the first time for him to wait for an earthquake like this.

"We don't know the exact time." Zhu Wentian understood and apologized.

"That's pretty good! Without you, the Ming Dynasty would probably still be stuck in a stalemate with the Northern Yuan Dynasty. Tiande told me that the battle against Wang Baobao with good weapons was very dangerous.

You also repeatedly emphasized through Yi Chang that we must not advance rashly, and we are not allowed to abandon our baggage and go deep into the enemy's rear.

Did you see something? Aren't you afraid of revealing the secret?"

Zhu Yuanzhang talked about the battle between Xu Da and Wang Baobao, which was fought entirely with the help of telescopes, flintlock rifles and explosive packs, and the baggage was sent there free of charge.

Without the far-reaching planning of the masters and the step-by-step advancement of crops, breeding and foreign trade, there would be no such victory.

Wang Baobao is indeed strong, especially when he has the advantage of geographical location, his good brother Tiande almost delayed things.

But no matter how strong he was, what good was it? He lost Xiaqiu Village and a village guard.

"The village guardian has always been subject to the misfortune of heaven. The village's ancestral hall and mountain temple are where I live. Now that I have become the village guardian, what can heaven do to me?"

Zhu Wentian put a bunch of roasted meat skewers on the tray. He didn’t care. Anyway, he lived a wonderful life and it was enough.

Ling'er handed the tray over and took back two skewers, giving one to Brother Hanhan and taking one for herself.

Zhu Xiongying was staring at the big skewers of meat in a daze. After a few breaths, he said, "Aunt Ling'er, please fry some small skewers for me! I am sleepy and wake up. Eating big skewers of meat is too tiring."

"Start the fire now." Ling'er lit the gas tank next to her, put a big spoon on it, poured oil, and prepared to fry the skewers.

Small fried skewers have always been available. They are strung together with iron wire, so you don't have to worry about the bamboo thorns pricking your mouth.

Generally, small pieces of meat are used for skewering, that is, the leftover meat, which is shaved off the bones. This kind of meat is more tender, but the quantity is small and it is not easy to skewer.

The meat on the cow's head, sheep's head, spine, and large bones that has not been cleaned off is called small meat.

The oil used for frying is always changing. Now there are sunflower oil and peanut oil, in addition to the original camellia oil, sesame oil, rapeseed oil...

Growing children are not afraid of eating oily foods, but they should try not to eat too much soybean oil and animal oil.

For ordinary people, any kind of oil is fine; it’s good to have it; they lack meat.

It was not until Zhu Wentian arrived in Daming that he realized that the old photos from the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China were real. Everyone was thin, especially the laborers. They didn't have muscular bodies at all!
That's why the saying "poor people are good at literature and rich people are good at martial arts" came into being. You can't practice martial arts without eating meat because you lack protein.

Practicing martial arts is the most intuitive one. In fact, studying also requires nutrition, especially fat and sugar.

After a handful of small skewers of meat, clam meat and stewed meat were fried, Zhu Xiongying thanked them and started eating a skewer: "What should we do if there is an earthquake in the twelfth lunar month? It's cold!"

He knew how ordinary people lived. When Zhu Wentian took him out, they all put on makeup and changed into patched and washed-out clothes.

Just find someone to have dinner with, as long as you can't choose the other twenty-one villages in Xuancheng County. After entering, Zhu Xiongying thought everyone was living a good life!

Look for normal families, residents of distant villages.

At the beginning, Zhu Xiongying was always exposed. His temperament was different, even the skin on his hands and arms had to be made up.

The people from Xiaqiu Village who accompanied them didn't need to act. They all lived the same life before, and their lives were even worse than those in other villages now.

Zhu Wentian brought another handful of meat skewers and said, "Don't worry, we have had this experience once, so it will be easy next time. We can use a cotton tent and light a stove inside.

There are more generators, too, which provide lights for everyone, which are always on and provide people with peace of mind.

This time, since it is summer and the dog days of summer have just ended after the earthquake, there is no need to bring anything better.”

"That's good! Electricity is more efficient than candles and lamps... Ouch! It's shaking! My ears are buzzing, oh my god!"

As Zhu Xiongying was speaking, he suddenly shook and his ears became deaf in an instant. He couldn't find his balance while sitting there because his vestibular nerve was affected.

Zhu Wentian jumped up, rolled to Zhu Xiongying, hugged him, and stood firmly in a horse stance.

With his other hand he also grabbed Ling'er and held her up, standing still as a mountain.

After seven or eight seconds, everything returned to calm. The table was a mess, the beer was spilled, and there was nothing else to spill.

The lamp is shaking, and it is deliberately not fixed for fear that the pulling force will cause leakage of electricity. Just let it shake!

The palace maids pinched their noses with their hands to let out the breath, then pressed their ears with their fingers and ran over to clean the table.

This is the impact of an earthquake. It is not just shaking, but also includes the impact of sound waves and shock waves. Stun grenades work on this principle.

The sound of children crying could be heard, and outside there were chickens crowing and dogs barking.

"It's so uncomfortable! Thank you, Uncle Hanhan! Ouch!"

Zhu Xiongying calmed down, pressed his ears and took a deep breath.

"There are still aftershocks. Keep eating. The aftershocks are not as strong as before!"

Zhu Wentian put down the bell on the other side, looked around, and found that everyone was in good condition.

The village has training, the most basic rotation training for pilots. Everyone’s vestibular nerves are relatively strong, but unfortunately they are unable to undergo overload resistance training.

In order to achieve the effect of anti-overload training, the speed must be guaranteed. One G is a free fall. Without considering air resistance, the speed is 9.8 meters per second, and it suddenly reaches this speed.

The overload of a normal roller coaster is controlled at 1.3 to 1.7 G. Xiaqiu Village does not dare to build one for fear of accidents.

For roller coasters, bungee jumping, and other similar projects, the source of fear for those who ride them is not overload or weightlessness, but the lack of confidence in the safety of the equipment.

When riding a roller coaster, people are afraid of equipment problems; when bungee jumping, they are worried about the rope breaking. This is the source of fear.

The beer was brought back and someone went to change his coat and got the beer spilled on him.

"I used to think that earthquakes caused you to lose your balance because the ground was shaking. Now I know that it is your head that makes you lose your balance. The shaking is secondary. Your head is buzzing."

Zhu Yuanzhang was not panicked because he had been informed in advance. He knew he would have to endure this attack, and he no longer cared about it after fighting for his life so many times.

He analyzed based on what he had learned: "When the ground moved, the magnetic field changed, right?"

"The dynamic balance camera should be activated. Take pictures continuously. There are several places. Shoot towards the compass. We'll know when we develop the images later!"

The village head responded that equipment was used to detect earthquake conditions.

Once there is vibration and the amplitude of the vibration reaches a certain level, it will start taking pictures and recording videos automatically, just like making a movie.

Facing the compass and gyroscope, there are several types of compasses, including surface compasses, Sinan compass and compass.

This is the most intuitive way. Looking back, you can see that there is also filming in the laboratory.

"Boom boom boom..."

As I was speaking, the first aftershock occurred. It wasn’t as strong as before, but it was still quite uncomfortable.

"Your Majesty, why don't we sing and dance?" A palace maid thought that singing and dancing should be used to reassure everyone.

"What if they fell? Just stay still. It's unfair to the kids because they can't understand earthquakes in advance."

Zhu Yuanzhang vetoed it and felt helpless listening to the children crying!

Babies will cry naturally when they feel uncomfortable, and it will take them a while to calm down even if someone tries to comfort them.

The key is that there will be aftershocks, I don’t know if the palace…

"Your Majesty, some palaces have collapsed. Some glazed tiles have been shaken off, and cracks have appeared on the ground."

Someone answered the phone and came over to report the situation. There had been an earthquake and there was indeed damage.

"It's okay, I'll fix it if it's broken. Is everyone okay?"

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't care about the damage to things, as it was just a matter of money.

"Your Majesty, there are no reports of casualties so far. Everyone outside is wearing a safety helmet and not staying under the eaves." The person who came over continued to report.

"Okay! Gentlemen! Let's drink to victory!" Zhu Yuanzhang picked up the beer cup and took a big sip. It felt great!

The others followed suit, and after finishing the drink together, they smacked their lips and said, "Sure enough, we can't beat Daming, this expert..."

This time he was convinced from the bottom of his heart. He had experienced the earthquake with his own eyes and knew about it in advance.

The Ming Dynasty has such a master in charge, what can we use to compete with them?
There have been droughts, floods, and hail disasters in the past, but I haven’t been there and haven’t experienced them personally, so I don’t know how serious they are!
We have told you about the earthquake and are taking you out to drink and eat skewers while you wait.

It's not wrong to surrender to the Ming Dynasty, not at all wronged, just kneel down, otherwise stand up, oh! There's another aftershock, who poured me so much wine just now? Spill it all over me.

"Uncle Hanhan, you've suffered a disaster, so you should be very sad, but why am I happy?"

Zhu Xiongying drank some juice. He wanted to express some emotions but couldn't describe them in words.

“You are happy because of the foreknowledge of the disaster, not the disaster itself.

Knowing in advance can reduce losses and is a source of joy, especially knowing that future disasters can be predicted.

A sudden benefit from an unknown time is called a surprise, and the opposite is a disaster.

Since you can predict, you have a sense of security, and your happiness is precisely because of the sense of security. "

Zhu Wentian elaborated from a theoretical perspective, and then said: "If you can't predict it in advance, you can only deal with it through strong pre-arrangement. The more perfect the pre-arrangement is, the more at ease you will be, and the happier you will be!"

"That's the truth! Thank you, Uncle Hanhan!
It is from appearance to essence. Knowing what it is is the appearance, knowing why it is is the essence.

Using painkillers for toothache is only a temporary solution, while understanding the cause of toothache and treating it is the fundamental solution. "

Zhu Xiongying thanked him, "I understand!" I just wanted to say it, but I just couldn't say it.

In fact, he didn't know that normally this knowledge was not something he should learn at his age, but he was smart, so his silly uncle taught him.
