Villager of Daming

Chapter 135

Not only Lu Zhidong and Shopkeeper Qin were in complicated moods, but also the people from Shangyuan County.

They never thought that all the children in a village could write and abacus, that idiot, uh!Except Hanhan, he doesn't count.

The war has only been over for three years, no, some places are still fighting!Other people are working hard to survive, why are there such children in Xiaqiu Village?

Could it be that they secretly found their husbands and wives to teach in the village?Obviously, the official school in the county would not accept a group of village children.

As for that naive study, there is no hope, but he has great strength, and he will move bundle after bundle of heavy things without any effort, with a naive smile on his face.

When the people of the county government see the children, they are in a good mood and work happily.

Ten groups of people, in one afternoon, finished ordering the goods at Sihai Grocery Store before it was dark.

Add up all the things, according to the purchase price of the shopkeeper Qin, a total of 120 two guan and three hundred and one cash.

Shopkeeper Qin showed a smile on his face, and the ordered goods were 93 more than the ones in his own account, which was a pleasant surprise.

The head of the village directly gave him 120 taels of silver, and he got back 690 nine taels of silver, which was not wiped out.

Master Fang stretched out his hand: "Thirty tax one, four thousand and seventy-seven cash."

"How can I pay taxes for what I paid?" Shopkeeper Qin felt distressed and argued.

"You have to pay taxes if you sell at a loss. If you don't pay, you will be arrested." Master Fang was not polite at all.

Shopkeeper Qin made some calculations: "It's four thousand seventy-six and seven cents, you... oh! Give it to you."

He saw that the other party signaled the yamen servant to come up, so he didn't fight for the three points.

After paying the tax, he looked at the head of the village and said, "We will move tomorrow, and we have to stay for one night."

The head of the village nodded: "We'll send someone to look at the goods."

Turning his head, he said to the two merchants standing at the door: "How many months are left of the rent paid?"

The steamed stuffed bun seller pursed his lips: "It's been more than four months, so has he."

"I'll refund you five months' rent and make up for an extra three months, can you?"

The two families who thought they needed to go to the yamen to sue nodded happily when they heard this. It’s almost half a month today. If you make up for one month and give them another three months, it’s a good deal and you’ve met a good person.

The matter was settled, the house was in hand, the guards of the six Prince's Mansion took the initiative to stay and take care of the goods in rotation, and the others continued to go back to Fuhualou for dinner.

The guy delivered food to the neighbor here, and the six refused to drink.

One is afraid that he will fall asleep after drinking, and the other will invite everyone to dinner in the palace tomorrow, and they will go back to watch.

Not only did they not drink, but so did the other guards and Zhu Taiyi.

The head of the village and Hanhan drank with the people in the yamen, and the village elders still had a cup of medicinal wine sent by the palace.

Tonight, the palace sent a lot of cooked food for drinking, and the person who delivered the food said that the people in the county have worked hard.

Master Fang's nine people were flattered, and at the same time rejoiced that they were really doing things for the people, and the palace was actually watching.

……

On April [-]th, everyone still got up very early, took a bath, changed clothes, and went to dinner.

The banquet starts at Si time and lasts until dusk. Everyone watches songs and dances, drinks, and connects with each other. The premise is not to be crazy about drinking, which is easy to lose your head.

The officials and wives already knew the origin of this group of unemployed people, Xiaqiu Village, Xuancheng County, Ningguo Prefecture.

All married wives have status, that is, imperial orders and edicts.

For a group of villagers who came to participate in the prince's marriage, they had nothing to say, and even wanted to get in touch with it. The soap came from the village.

When Zhu Yuanzhang told the officials, he naturally couldn't keep it secret.

So people with status know that the good things that make money in the palace are provided by Xiaqiu Village, so why not come to attend a wedding?
Today was a big banquet, and all the people from the harem came out, including a group of princes and princesses. There was no room for them to sit in the hall, and a table was set up in the square outside, one table for each person.

There is an umbrella behind each table to block the sun. Today is June [-]th in the Gregorian calendar. If you don’t have an umbrella, prepare for first aid!
The people in Xiaqiu Village moved their tables by themselves and stood next to each other. They were the farthest away from the main hall.

Today there is a Buddha jumping over the wall, everyone is very happy, and the village has only done it twice.

Someone wanted to come over to chat with people in Xiaqiu Village, but when the village moved the table, there was a big distance from other people's table.

Walking here from other places will be seen by others, it's too obvious.

Others will wonder why you are looking for people from the village?Don't you want something?Why don't you care what His Majesty wants?
"It's clever, let's see who is going up?" Zhu Yuanzhang saw it from the hall, holding a binoculars.

Normally speaking, if you look outside from the main hall, you can't see people clearly when you go to the square, but you can't stand the advanced things.

The ministers who ate together in the hall were speechless looking at His Majesty. Is this how the telescope is used?

After watching for a while, Zhu Yuanzhang handed the binoculars to the eunuch next to him and asked him to stare at the location of Xiaqiu Village, and someone went to write it down.

"Your Majesty, the binoculars are very useful. After they were sent to the South Route Army in front, the test books were sent down the river early this morning."

Liu Zhen, Minister of the Ministry of War, took the opportunity to praise him. On the day the telescope was brought over, he immediately ran upstream in a fast boat to Guizhou.

Use both sails and oars, other boats wait first in places where the current is fast, and the fast boat hangs the tracker first.

When it was delivered to the place, Tang He of the South Route Army was shocked as well as the other generals when they saw it. There is such a strange thing in the world?

They know how to use it, and if they use it to look at the water surface, they can spot enemy ships in advance.

The boat was sailing on the river, and there were mountains beside it. I don't know if there was an ambush, but I could see it more clearly with binoculars.

"It's just that the binoculars were delivered late. If they were delivered earlier, they could be matched with the Northern Route Army." Hu Weiyong said aside.

"I think it's not easy to make. Once the manufacturing method is leaked, the consequences will be disastrous. It's good that the village can keep secrets."

Wang Guangyang helped Xiaqiu Village to speak. He knew that Hu Weiyong wanted to use this excuse to accuse Xiaqiu Village and get the method of making the telescope by the way.

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled when he heard Wang Guangyang: "Chaozong has thought carefully, you have to send people to the village, and four are not enough to send letters."

Zhu Yuanzhang made an assist to block the mouths of other ministers who wanted to send troops.

Where can you intervene?You have offended me again, or you have some crooked thoughts that you shouldn't have.

Let the prince's mansion send out people, the children in the village are for Biao'er's future use, so get closer and closer.

"It's the father." Zhu Biao stopped calling father at this time, he understood that good things should not be taken by the officials.

"Ask them what they still lack, so that they can prepare as soon as possible, don't say it's too late, come and call Zhu Yichang into the palace."

Zhu Yuanzhang ordered to the side, right now, we don't have to wait for the time when there are fewer people, we will act aboveboard.

　Not today, thank you brothers and sisters for your support, the farmer bowed, eat first, then rest, see you tomorrow.
