Villager of Daming

Chapter 197 The new method is easy to use without fat chasing (don't stop the first monthly pass)

"We not only need to plan food from the ground, but also fish meat from the water, so as to make up for the shortage of grain production with aquatic non-staple food that does not occupy arable land.

Use the large area of ​​lakes that God has gifted us to make money to repair the roads that God hinders us from traveling.

His weed is my medicine.His rotten fruit, my honey ointment.All things in the world are self-destructed when they become obsolete.

Therefore, we need to centralize, scale up and technicalize aquaculture, coordinate people's working time, and unify ideas..."

Zhu Xi, who finally got the chance, told his father and others, giving people a feeling of scolding Fang Qiu and pointing the country.

It is short of saying that organizing people and managing them will be beneficial to rebellion at that time.

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't think about whether Zhu Xi would rebel. He was wondering if the master had already thought about this matter?

If the imperial court did not repair the Yanzhi River, the aquatic products would have to be sent in circles to be sold elsewhere. Now that it is about to be repaired, the four lakes will be connected immediately.

Although the four lakes are connected by rivers, they belong to Yingtian Mansion, Taiping Mansion, and Ningguo Mansion. There is also Wuhu County to the west. Is the expert thinking about it?

"Xiao'er! You want to do such a big deal with Xiaqiu Village, where does the capital come from?"

Empress Ma listened carefully, as for whether it would work or not, there was no harm in trying it.

"My child thought about giving [-]% of the profits from selling beer to the palace and continuing to invest in other industries, including department stores. Department stores are..."

Zhu Xi continued to say that there are too many things waiting to be arranged by him, and he is very busy.

"The advantage of the store is that it is not easy for the people to travel far, but the goods can be sent far away. Centralized transportation, sale and purchase of different land, save the people's time and effort, and meet the daily supply of the people."

Zhu Xi finally concluded that the advantage of opening a chain department store lies in this, and it can also make money.

"Ah! You are busier than our emperor!" Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile.

"Don't dare!" Zhu Xi shook his head, we never thought about whether the emperor is not the emperor.

"Eating crabs. Xiaqiu Village is really not suitable for such a big event, so let us stand in front, it's easy to calculate!"

Empress Ma personally brought a steamed crab to her second son and asked her to eat.

Everyone understands that if Xiaqiu Village wants to do this, it needs to pay more energy and price, especially to get through the local government.

Things need to be transported back and forth, so does Luyin open one at a time?Who does the tax go to?What if someone makes things difficult on purpose?
Partnering with the King of Qin, the problems of the various government offices have been solved, what way to lead?Taxes are arranged by the palace.

Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma thought the same thing, let the expert do it, no one has done it like this anyway, if it works, then consider asking other places to try to learn it.

If not, there will be no loss to the court and the palace.

……

On the ninth day of September, the Double Ninth Festival, plant cornus officinalis, drink chrysanthemum wine and so on.

Xiaqiu Village has no time for festivals, and neither does the palace.

This festival comes from a good harvest, which proves that the first crops were harvested around this time.

It can be wheat, rice, sorghum, millet, and highland barley planted in summer, but now Ningguo Mansion has harvested all of them, and has planted ramie and rapeseed.

The Ningguo Mansion came forward to lend money to the people to rent large animals, and repay them after harvesting in the next year.

The common people will have things to do this winter, they need to keep looking for fertilizers for top dressing, and the things in the huts in the counties can't be wasted.

The imperial court's [-] troops were dispatched to Yanzhi Hill near the source of the Qinhuai River.

They carried picks, soil baskets, poles, chisels, hammers, ropes...

During this period of time, the imperial court has been preparing things, including those who learned to make gunpowder and taught others how to make new gunpowder.

Fortunately, the food harvest was finished and it was being transported to Yingtian Mansion. The soldiers had to eat normally, and now Zhu Yuanzhang had some savings on hand.

The ropes, baskets, shoulder poles and other things used can be purchased from nearby counties.

Then recruit some people who have not done hard work this year to help with cooking. Anyway, they are free after harvesting.

Then in the evening, Lichang received a letter from Song Zhifu of Ningguo Prefecture, saying that today is the Double Ninth Festival, I don’t see you at a good time, I miss him very much, when Yichang will be able to return to Xiaqiu, everyone chatting about wine and other useless nonsense.

Finally, I would like to briefly mention a worry. The people in the other five counties of Ningguo Mansion planted land, and they couldn't catch up with the fertilizer. It was too worrying.

"Hanhan, Song Zifu is in a hurry and wrote here to ask for help."

The Li Chang knew the meaning of the other party at a glance, what did he miss or not, why didn't he miss it earlier?
"Dredging the river! Isn't there silt? Then put the dried weeds and mix them with the manure that was retting before, and continue retting. There is time."

Zhu Wentian felt that the magistrate Song was stubborn and went to find fertilizer if there was no fertilizer. There were still a lot of phosphate rocks in the local area, so he burned some plant ash.

"Such a simple method, no one in the entire Ningguo Mansion thought of it?" The chief felt that something was wrong.

"He can think of it, but he doesn't have manpower. In what name does he make the people work? Give the people benefits, take more from the people, and the people don't do it."

Zhu Wentian naturally understood the other party's difficulties. This year's hard labor has basically been served, and next year's time will be used. What should the court do next year if there is something to do?
The head of the village nodded: "Since this is the case, the law of dredging the river is not feasible."

"If the people are asked to work extra, they don't want it. To put it another way, let the people use the mud from the river for free.

And the government is willing to help organize it so that everyone knows how to do it. For the sake of the people, the officials are willing to work hard.

But there is one thing, the number of people is limited, the people who sign up to dig the mud first get the first, and then the number is enough, and the mud is not enough, it will not work. "

"How much quantity is good?"

"Choose whatever you want, anyway, there will never be enough numbers, and the people can still count one? They say that only 5 people will be provided, and when it is [-], they insist that it will be less than [-]. Anyone who wants to come can come. There are so many people, big and small. And the river! The silt is enough."

"Alas!" Li Chang sighed: "I'm going to write a letter, and I'll send it to Xiaqiu Village tonight. I'll change the carriage at Xiaqiu Village, and I'll bring my things and send it with me."

"By the way, ask him to help harvest chrysanthemums in other counties of Ningguo Prefecture. They are medicines. The villagers who fished crabs together asked their families to pick chrysanthemums too. On the Double Ninth Day, come and buy chrysanthemums."

Zhu Wentian added that the village still has money for collecting chrysanthemums.

"Okay!" The chief left and went back to his room to write a letter.

Half an hour later, the guard took Shangxin and set off by boat, crossing the Qinhuai River and entering the Yangtze River, all the way against the current, which seemed very inconvenient.

If the Yanzhi River comes out, it will go directly from the Qinhuai River to Shijiu Lake, then to Danyang Lake next to it, and return to the village.

When you come to Nanjing from Xiaqiu Village, you can take a longer road, go down the river, and change one when you go back. It feels like this artificial canal was built for Xiaqiu Village.

At this time, people from Xiaqiu Village were leading people from other villages to light lamps to catch crabs. They dug a pit beside the lake and lit a patch of lamps. After dark, the crabs crawled when they saw the light, and then fell into the pit.
