Villager of Daming

Chapter 212 Nanshan Mine First Arrival (Second Update)
"Hanhan, there's an explosion over there, the canal is ready, how do we go from now on?" When the village chief heard the news, he ran over to look for Hanhan.

"The Huangchi River enters Danyang Lake as a reverse flow. After entering Shijiu Lake, the water of Shijiu Lake flows to the Qinhuai River, and the water of the Qinhuai River flows into the Yangtze River."

Zhu Wentian first talked about the water flow in various places. Xiaqiu Village took a new road to Nanjing, and there was a section of countercurrent.

The head of the village understood: "Walking from the Huangchi River to Wuhu is downstream; from Wuhu to the Yangtze River, it is still downstream; when arriving in Nanjing, entering the Qinhuai River is upstream.

From the new route to Nanjing, there will be an additional seven or eight miles of countercurrent, but it is close, and there is no need to squeeze with other ships on the Yangtze River.

Naturally, the return journey is to take a new route. Anyway, it is against the current, and the reverse current of the Qinhuai River is not as strong as that of the Yangtze River. "

"In fact, let's repair the village along the lake and the river, and then use animals to pull the boat for a while, which will save effort.

Building another bridge at the lake will benefit Xiaqiu Village in the future, but using only boats is too simple in some cases.

Usually the fields by the lake are afraid of being washed away by the rising water in summer. We don’t plant them in summer, but we plant wheat in winter and harvest one crop a year. No one cares there. "

Zhu Wentian continued to make suggestions, although the lake is good, but there are few people, so hurry up to plant the land, and plant it one time at a time.

"As long as it is navigable and convenient for water transportation, the population of the lake will increase in the future. Then build a lake embankment, but if they don't build it, we will ask His Majesty to find someone to build it.

It is enough to grow more fields in this way. By the way, increase aquaculture, divert water to the nearby low-lying land as a pond, raise loach, eel, grow lotus, lotus seeds and lotus root. "

Zhu Wentian continued to say that conventional methods use natural resources to increase people's income.

It's a pity that it's such a shit, the officials don't know, what are they thinking every day?

The head of the village nodded repeatedly: "I have to write it down, don't forget, it is easy to build a bridge, if you spend money to find a craftsman, the craftsman will know how to repair it.

When it comes to building roads, there are about [-] households over there. Give them food, and they help repair a little every day, and they have less work in winter. "

He was thinking about how to arrange it. If he had money, he started selling vegetables in greenhouses, and he would pay back what he owed to the prince first when he earned money.

The village hires craftsmen and other people to work, and it is enough to give food and oil, and they are willing to ask for it.

"I remembered something again." Zhu Wentian said, picked up the pen on the table, dipped it in the ink, and started drawing.

"What's the matter?" the village chief asked naturally.

"Yingtianfu has Shangyuan County and Jiangning County, and Jiangning County has Jiangning Town to the south of it.

In Dangtu County, Taiping Prefecture, there is Caishiji in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River. I drew the east side of Caishiji.

There is an iron mine here, open-pit, you can dig whatever you want, and it won't be finished after 100 years of digging.

At the same time, copper mines are associated with iron mines in a place. Daming is short of copper. I mark it and send people to dig it to ensure that there are.

As for how to smelt, they know how to do it. We don’t need us. Let’s teach them the steel-making converter in the village, and they can make steel if they want to. "

Zhu Wentian marked the Nanshan Iron Mine in Ma'anshan, and also marked several iron-copper associated mines.

The village chief heard that he dug casually, and it would not be finished in 100 years, plus copper and so on. He asked suspiciously: "Hanhan, you really just remembered?"

"What's wrong? Chief, do you suspect the village guards?" Zhu Wentian handed over the paper.

"How dare I! I'm doubting myself, I'll draw a copy, you get out of the way."

The chief pushed Hanhan away and sat down to paint, the original manuscript had to be kept in the sacrificial hall.

"It turns out that there is no good explosives, and the black powder that is not good enough to explode mines is prone to problems.

Black powder is susceptible to moisture, and when it is ignited, it will not explode, and it will become a squib. When you went to see it, it exploded again.

The same is to make a hole, put yellow powder and black powder in, and the power of the explosion is different. "

Zhu Wentian explained, it's not that it didn't say it before, it's meaningless.

If the Yanzhi River had no yellow gunpowder, more than 1 people would have died in history, many of whom died of malnutrition.

Chisel a hole in the stone, put a little gunpowder in it, and put Majiatung oil, it must be big enough, and then light it up, and pour water when it is hot.

At this time, the foot slipped, and the person may fall on the red-hot stone, not to mention being scalded to death immediately, and the infection after the injury is also fatal.

"Okay, Hanhan, you rest, I'll go find His Royal Highness King Qin." After finishing the painting, the chief blew on it, folded Hanhan's picture and put it in his arms.

He went outside, turned around, but did not see Zhu Xi.

"Where is His Highness King Qin?" he asked Zhu Taiyi.

"Say the canal is open, and bring a lot of greenhouse vegetables back to the palace to celebrate." Zhu Taiyi knew the situation.

"It's time to celebrate. We cook two good dishes at noon, selling boxed lunches and cabbage tofu soup." The head of the village is not in a hurry, he is also planning to celebrate.

So at noon, Zhu Yuanzhang in the palace served official meals of vegetables to the ministers, and the ministers were very moved.

They already know that the greenhouses in Xiaqiu Village can grow vegetables, and Fuhua Building has been promoting it.

Tomorrow, that is, the first day of the twelfth lunar month, fresh cucumbers, eggplants and other vegetables will start to be sold.

The key is the limited quantity, only [-] copies are sold a day, and they will be sold out, so you can only order other dishes.

In summer, the same plate of scrambled cucumbers with eggs in Fuhualou costs only [-] Wen.Um!This doesn't seem to be cheap, but who makes people call Fuhualou!

Officials have eaten winter cucumbers today, and they smell delicious, so they should rub them and dip them in sauce.

……

"Pink cabbage tofu soup? Shopkeeper, where did you get the cabbage? Aren't they all soaked in dried vegetables?"

In the Danqing box lunch shop, people who eat three-five-cent box lunches found the soup, and some people were surprised.

"The Yanzhigang Canal between Shijiu Lake and the Qinhuai River is open to navigation. To celebrate the appearance of the Yanzhi River, our restaurant provides a bowl of cabbage tofu soup, limited."

The Lichang smiled and introduced the situation.

"What does the navigation there have to do with your shop?" Another person was puzzled.

"They are from Xiaqiu Village. The Huangchi River next to Xiaqiu Village is connected to Shijiu Lake. They can go back quickly by taking the new river."

People who eat here all the time understand, and give answers by the side.

"Congratulations then."

"congratulations!"

The others congratulated one after another.

"Add more vegetables and rice today." Li Changyi was happy and stopped making money.

The others boasted fiercely again, which benefited them, and they were all really happy.

Everyone was eating, when someone ran over: "Lichang, we are here, we came by boat from the village by a new waterway."

Xiao Qi from Xiaqiu Village ran over, accompanied by a man from the back kitchen who had stayed here to help lead the way.

"Where is the person? Come on, follow me to pick you up." The village chief knew that everyone would not come empty-handed, so he must bring something.

"At the pier, I will report first. There are no other boats on the road, just our village. The first one. I made a flag and wrote Qiucun. The people on the pier surrounded us and asked."

Xiaoqi yelled excitedly, obviously they said that when the bombing happened today, the village would prepare in advance, and just after the bombing was over, they came with a boat.

It's too late, otherwise it would have arrived earlier.
