Villager of Daming

Chapter 236 How to repair the closed road before the year (The second monthly ticket and recommendation ticket are required, thank you!)

"Xiaocao, come back on the sixth day, here, push it home."

In the box restaurant, Zhu Sixi closed the windows and doors and unbolted them, and led people over the fence while lifting the cart to talk to Xiaocao.

"Brother Sixi, there are too many things." When Xiaocao lifted the cart, she thought she was going to take it elsewhere, but she didn't expect it to be for herself.

In the cart were bundles of vegetables, two big carps, two smoked chickens, two roast ducks, two knives of pork, half a fan of pork ribs, a bucket of beer, a large bag of sugar-fried chestnuts, a jar of pickles, and a bag of rice , a bag of noodles and rapeseed oil, salt, vinegar, rock sugar, maltose, sesame crisp tube sugar, tea leaves.

Things are given according to the normal Chinese New Year, and there is nothing missing.

If you calculate the current price of vegetables, what you give is half a year's wages for yourself, and you are fifty cents a day.

"Not much, Xiaocao, you are the first official employee of our Xiaqiu Village, and you will have to buy things from outside after the new year, where will the face of Xiaqiu Village go?"

Zhu Sixi smiled and said that Xiaocao worked hard, worked hard, was smart, knew a lot of words, and could add and subtract within a hundred accurately.

"I bought pork and ribs from outside." Xiaocao felt that Xiaqiu Village spent extra money on these two items.

"It was sent by our village. Xiaqiu Village sells boxed lunches to buy meat, and the New Year's pig must be killed and raised by ourselves.

Look at this meat, it's hard to find outside, the pork belly is sandwiched between fat and lean meat, because the pigs in the village will run around and the feed is good. "

Zhu Sixi introduced his experience in raising pigs. People in Xiaqiu Village no longer focus on eating fatty meat, and lean meat is also delicious.

Xiaocao nodded again and again: "It would be great if I could go to the village to have a look. I heard that there are more than 600 large animals in our village."

"It's seven hundred, big animals will give birth to small animals, hurry up, don't stay in other people's yards."

Zhu Sixi speeded up, went out through the door of Fuhua Building, and locked the restaurant from the inside.

"Sixi, are you going to Donghuamen to celebrate the New Year?" Shopkeeper Xu greeted with a smile.

"Ah! The boxed lunches are no longer for sale, and the Jubiqi across the street is selling until tomorrow, and someone always thinks of buying key things at the last minute.

The gauze hat was placed at the door of the greenhouse, and shopkeeper Xu went to pick the vegetables by himself, and we left. "

Zhu Sixi nodded, went outside to part ways with Xiaocao, and went around Hongwumen to meet up.

Pushing the cart, Xiaocao went for a while and looked back, but couldn’t see Zhu Sixi and others who had turned around the corner of Fuhua Building. She sniffed and muttered: "I must work hard in the coming year, and work hard to learn literacy and arithmetic. I can help a lot."

As he spoke, he strode home, and the once-familiar street seemed to have changed into a world in the snow, making it even more charming.

The people of Jubiqi Store and Beer Shop saw the closed doors on the opposite side, and they were all envious. They had to work one more day. They were from Xiaqiu Village, and they were from Prince Qin's Mansion.

The key box lunch can be closed, there are still a lot of people shopping here, what are you doing so early?Firewood and coal are needed in snowy weather.

……

When Zhu Sixi led people back to the tent area of ​​Donghuamen, Zhou Zong and his five had already left, and the people of Xiaqiu Village were dividing the cattle.

Tomorrow is the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month, and it will be called Thirty Children. Some beef and beef bones need to be processed first.

There is no cowhide on the cow, and I want to peel it off to make things, such as tents. Bows and crossbows are no longer mass-produced. New flintlock guns and upgraded firecrackers, plus the old bows and crossbows, are enough to use, and the broken ones are repaired.

The head of the village wiped the ancestral tablet with Hanhan, and muttered while wiping him, which was not clear to others.

"Silly! The distance between the two places is far, and we can't ignore things in Nanjing. You can dig another river and use it for our village. When you come here, you can go with the river, and when you go back, you can still go with the river."

The chief put down a tablet and looked at Hanhan.

Zhu Wentian: "..."

He took a deep breath: "The best way is actually to fly over and back."

"Hanhan, don't be kidding. In fact, it's better for us to walk. Miners, especially miners who dig shafts and inclined shafts, have a hard time. They recite the ore in baskets.

Fortunately, we have provided good gunpowder, which can control the blasting area, and you don’t need to dig with a pickaxe. Can you imagine the situation of digging stones with an oil lamp in a mine? "

When the head of the village was talking about the road, he thought of the mining area. Hanhan provided good mines and found them directly according to the map. The people who mined the mines were still tired.

Zhu Wentian was stunned when he heard it. After a while, the chief called Hanhan, and he came back to his senses and smiled.

"Large open-pit iron mines, the stones dug out have to be transported to the Yangtze River by the shortest road. You can't go to the county seat of Dangtu County, you have to..."

Zhu Wentian paused, and continued to wipe the tablets, increasing his speed.

"Say it! Why is it gone?" The chief was anxious, the kind who scratched his heart and liver.

"I'll draw a picture for you when I finish wiping it, I can't say it, there is no place name, from the side of Caishiji to the Yangtze River.

Miners will not feel relaxed because of some new technologies, but will get more wages because of the application of new technologies.

Let us suggest to His Majesty that if the efficiency is high and the mines dug up in the same period of time increase, the miners have to be paid more. "

Zhu Wentian couldn't make his words clear. At this time, there is no county at all, otherwise the big iron mine would have been discovered long ago.

The head of the village also speeded up, and after a while, the memorial tablets were arranged in order, the incense burner was placed, and the two came out of the tent.

Zhu Wentian first drew a set of maps and sent them to the carpenters and strippers in Xiaqiu Village, and then came back to draw a map.

"Look at the Lichang, passing through here is the shortest distance, and you can bypass the high mountains.

Our village spent money to build roads. First, the road surface was leveled and repaired all the way to Nanjing. I have a way to make the land transportation faster.

The money spent on connecting that road...is it worth it?There are already waterways. "

"Hanhan, what's worth it or not? We spend money, and others can still get paid for their work. If we have no money, let's earn it."

At times like this, the village chief takes money very lightly, anyway, Hanhan always has new ways to make money.

If it really doesn’t work, pick up the things that made money in the past, sell rock sugar and soap, and harvest a large amount of bamboo fungus next year, plus white fungus, it’s all money.

After the harvested wheat is exchanged for grain, the prince does not give it to others to play, but hires people to work to pay for the wheat.

Glass mirrors and colored glaze have never been sold in the village at all. After Hanhan made them, he sent them directly to the palace to exchange things with barbarian people. It's not that the village can't make them.

Zhu Wentian shook his head: "I am calculating how much money to spend, and whether I can get social and economic benefits within a period of time, but it is meaningless for our village to be convenient.

Otherwise, wouldn't it be better to spend the money elsewhere.Don't worry, I will calculate whether the regional economy can be driven.

Cooperate with the transit economy of other lakes, connect to Wuhu, the population, the quantity of transit goods..."

Zhu Wentian took a pen to write and draw on the paper, and the chief looked at it. This time, he couldn't understand, he didn't know the words, and the circle turned around.

After a quarter of an hour, Zhu Wentian put down his pen: "We have to build a road of 250 to 270 miles, and it would be a good deal to extend it a little bit. It's a very good deal."
