Villager of Daming

Chapter 217 The Pillar of the Ming Dynasty's Property Plan (First Monthly Ticket Subscription)

To the astonishment of the scholars, the head of the village came and brought all the people from Xiaqiu Village with him, and handed over the task of cooking to the people in the shop opposite.

Zhu Xi also came to watch the fun, and the guards had to follow. The guards of the Prince's Mansion protected the people of Xiaqiu Village.

A group of people came from the palace. There were no officials, but eunuchs and court ladies.

At the main entrance of the library, the chief stands in front, Hanhan is beside him, then there is the child, and behind him are other people, kneeling down to accept the word.

Shopkeeper Xu stood on the second floor opposite, watching through the open window with the diners.

The eunuch shouted: "The holy god bestows the word Xiaqiu Village Danqing Library, a pillar of the Ming Dynasty."

"Grassman Zhu Yichang, bring all the villagers of Ningguo Mansion, Xuancheng County, Huangchi Town, and Xiaqiu Village, and thank you for your words." The village chief shouted first.

Immediately after, other villagers shouted together with him: "Heaven assists you with virtue, Haiyu Xianning, holy bow and all blessings."

It is mixed with Tianhehehe, Haihehehe, Shenghehehe, and the key sound is still very loud.

The eunuchs and maids pretended not to hear, everything was normal, and it was not the first time they saw and heard it, the last time His Majesty invited a villager from Xiaqiu to have dinner alone, that's what this idiot yelled.

Then His Majesty was very happy, follow hey, so this is allowed.

The scholars who were also watching the excitement were stupid, did anyone dare to shout like that?

"Get up, here, it needs to be framed. It's best to put this away and let the craftsman carve a plaque and hang it up."

The eunuch handed the gift word to the head of the village. He knew how Xiaqiu Village existed.

"Thank you!" When Li Chang was picking up something, he touched the other's sleeve, and a ten tael ingot of silver was thrown away.

The eunuch's face became bitter instantly, he wanted to pay it back, but he didn't dare to take it out.

Li Chang held up the words with both hands for the villagers to see, there was a seal on them.

In the end, it was rolled up and asked Hanhan to hold it. After a while, a craftsman was asked to carve it out according to the font and seal, brush it with tung oil, and hang it on the wall directly opposite the library's main entrance.

The others went back, and the children continued to cook for the students. This time, the students had no doubts.

Today, the holy emperor specially bestows characters, and it is still the four characters of the pillars of the Ming Dynasty. Xiaqiu Village is for the country and the people.

So if you treat yourself so well, you obviously hope that you and others will study hard and become useful people for Daming in the future.

"Why is this meat so fragrant? I almost swallowed my tongue together."

There are scholars who have finished eating, taste the braised pork, and are instantly conquered.

"Vegetables are just as delicious, fried with oil."

"Dried cowpeas and soybeans with pork rinds in them."

"Pickles, with the smell of sesame oil and sauce."

"The minced ginger in the shredded radish soup is not spicy at all, how do you make it?"

The students praised one after another, not even letting the soup go, it was a good one after all.

"I think the food is better than the food in Fuhua Building opposite." Some students commented.

"Have you eaten it?" Others didn't believe it.

"Eat once, eat with others."

"They really do better than Fuhualou, why don't they open a restaurant? Could it be that they can't afford a house?"

"It is estimated that the box lunch can be eaten by people with little money, and they don't want to make money."

"Eat quickly, I want to keep the pickles, and I will eat steamed buns at night."

"I'll stay too."

The students almost made the same choice, keeping the pickles.

Upstairs Fuhua was mentioned, shopkeeper Xu smiled: "Everyone, in order to congratulate the Xiaqiu Village Library on receiving the word from the Holy Spirit, I will give each table a liter of beer."

"Master Xu is very generous."

"Old Xu is open and bright."

"What's the relationship between holding the word bestowed by the sage on the opposite side and Fuhua building?"

"Old Xu, you didn't come last night. I had a meal with Lao Huang and the others, and I happened to eat the stir-fried kale made by the cook of Xiaqiu Village Box Restaurant next door. It's better than the one in Fuhualou, hahahaha ..."

"Master Xu's, is it true?"

Shopkeeper Xu shook his head: "Hey! Remember it? Really, there are a lot of dishes in Fuhualou, and you all learned from the box lunch seller next to you. You should go there and try the fried dishes."

……

When another heavy snow fell, it was the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month.

There is a folk proverb in the north: Laba Laba will freeze the jaw.

Nanjing was not that cold, but Xiaqiu Village still made sticky bean buns and began to make Laba garlic.

The boats in Xiaqiu Village come and go every day, but they are not the same batch, and the boatmen can't bear it.

The [-]-acre greenhouse outside Donghuamen was officially planted, and the seedlings and beehives sent from Xiaqiu Village were put into it.

"Next year, we will plant [-] mu and sell it to rich people." Zhu Yuanzhang transplanted in the greenhouse with his women in the harem and children who could help with the work.

Now his mind is full of money, making money, spending money, and letting money flow.

Earn money from the rich and noble families of Ming Dynasty, earn money from barbarian people, and spend it on the working people.

Empress Ma buried the seedlings skillfully, and a child beside her helped water a little. Her hands were covered with soil, but she didn't dislike it. Instead, she transplanted seriously and said with a smile:
"The land tax, commercial tax, and silk cloth grain we received from the Ming Dynasty the year before last were only worth 270 million guan.

Fortunately, they won the battle and robbed some money from others. As a result, many palaces in the imperial city were not repaired.

Last year, the income of our Ming court was a bit higher, more than 280 million yuan, because there were more businessmen.

But last year, the things we sold to the barbarians made the palace earn more than 42 guan.

This year we don't know how much the imperial court can collect, but we got a discount of two hundred and ninety-six thousand coins.

There are still more than 20 days, and I can get more. Doing business with barbarians is indeed more profitable than digging food from the ground. "

After hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang gave the girl a big smile, very proud, and transplanted three seedlings in a row.

"The barbarians said that there is no money or anything left, so wait, they said that they can only buy after the boat returns, some are anxious, and want the palace not to sell it to others, hmph!"

Zhu Yuanzhang felt that some barbarian people were quite hateful. They were so rich, and at first they only wanted to take advantage of Ming Dynasty.

It was Liuli and Liuli mirror that made money. The music box made more than 50 yuan just after it was sold.

I heard that some Yi people robbed each other in other places, and also robbed kings and chiefs of other places, gold and silver, just to exchange for glazed mirrors.

As soon as the music box came out, Xiaqiu Village said it was church music, and the Yi people discounted the jewelry to [-]%, [-]%, or even [-]% to sell it, just to raise money to buy the music box.

But this music box is not so easy to buy, there are restrictions and bidding.

"Let's go, go back." Zhu Yuanzhang patted the soil on his hands. He didn't plan to plant it for a day, but it would be good to plant it for half an hour.

The children had smiles on their faces, and the other women in the harem also breathed a sigh of relief.

Everyone went back to take a bath. Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma were taking a mandarin duck bath, but they didn't do anything else. There were maids helping them.

"Chongba, you think it's interesting! The Yi people began to say that soap is bad, because they don't take a bath, and taking a bath makes people sick.

Later, they were willing to buy it, because they smell bad when they don’t take a bath, but the soap smells good. They also found their own reasons, saying that the fragrance of the soap can make people not get sick. "

Empress Ma laughed as she talked, and couldn't figure out why the king over there didn't take a bath.

"We Daming people should take a bath more often. We can't afford to use soap. Soap consumes oil. Washing once every few days is fine."

Zhu Yuanzhang recalled the letter written by Xiaqiu Village, saying that he had wounds on his body, and washing them with soap could, to a certain extent, prevent death from pus and fever.
