Villager of Daming

Chapter 301 High Morale and Expensive Investment (Thank you for recommending the second monthly ticket!)
"General Rabbit, Rabbit, I'm not talking about you, it's the rabbit that the scouts who rotated back to eat came back and hunted by chance."

Xu Da's soldiers shouted at the door, it's time to give the generals extra meals, there is so much meat on the grassland.

"Bring it in." Xu Da frowned, and then stretched it out. He remembered that this was not the time to discuss the military situation, but the time to eat.

Otherwise, outsiders are absolutely not allowed to disturb easily.

The soldier came in backwards, propped up the curtain with his back, and turned around, he carried two big rabbits in one hand: "General, four are enough?"

"How many hunted in total?" Sapphire asked with a smile.

The soldiers shook their heads: "General Lan, I don't know, there are too many people, and some people just brought them back to other army formations.

Our Chinese army came back and dropped 130 roe deer and five roe deer.

The brothers who came back said that the other ones were too big to take back, so they didn't hunt. "

The soldier said and put down the four rabbits, and when no one asked any more questions, he turned and walked out.

"You take the remaining cans." Xu Da handed over the cans that he should share with the bamboo tube.

"General, eat it! Oh! I'll take it, thank you General."

The soldiers wanted to refuse, but when the general stared at him, he ran over with a smile, took the bamboo tube and ran out.

A general next to him squatted next to the rabbit and looked through it: "Arrow wound, no firearm, it seems that when I ran out to investigate the situation, I wanted to come back to bring prey. This arrow is accurate!"

"If you eat well, you will naturally have the strength to train. The monthly rations for the cavalry are two shi, and the palace has money. In addition to the two shi rice, they are given meat.

After the founding of the Daming Navy, they led the people to fish at sea, inspected Japanese pirates, and lured fish with light. They caught a lot of fish, pickled them with salt and dried them, and sent them to the main battle armies of all parties.

The soldiers ate salted fish, and they were not short of salt. After eating meat, they recovered quickly after training, and even deserters were less than [-]% of what they were before.

His Majesty and the sergeant's family sent things, and the morale of the Ming army is at its peak. "

Another reason for the generals to speak out is that they eat well, have more food, add new firearms and equipment, and upgrade the old firearms.

Soldiers find that they are more likely to win the battle, and they are reluctant to desert.

He was also worried that he would die in battle, so he trained hard.

Moreover, there are new methods of alcohol and sutures, fewer injuries and infection deaths, and less fear of war. Isn't the enemy afraid of death?

Lan Yu was not in a hurry to eat, so she took a knife and came over to deal with the rabbit skillfully.

While peeling the rabbit, he said: "Xiaqiu Village is worthy of being the number one village in the world bestowed by His Majesty with three archways and the characters of pillars of Ming Dynasty.

Now in the court, the affairs of Xiaqiu Village are no longer a secret.

It is estimated that someone is thinking about it, but they can't intervene.

In order to protect the village, His Majesty even kept Donghua Gate and Chaoyang Gate open, and built another city wall around Xiaqiu Village outside. "

After Sapphire finished speaking, a rabbit's skin was processed so quickly.

He didn't need to dig out the internal organs of the rabbit. They were already emptied when they were delivered, and they were probably fried and eaten.

Along the way, everyone found that the offal that animals can eat is not as fragrant as it is fried, and it tastes better when it is fried for a while.

Xu Da was also handling a rabbit beside him: "The rabbits on the prairie don't wait until autumn to get so fat, remember to keep the things you hunt on the road that can be used for medicine.

No matter whether it is used for battle or to help pack horses in the team, salt is indispensable.

This method of drying salt on the beach was promoted and provided by Xiaqiu Village.

Let people see the salt fields in Fujian first, and then improve them, so there are a lot of them.

Taking the products of the sea and reducing the loss of the people, the price of salt is less than half of the original.

In the past, the salt given to the soldiers' homes was only two catties a month, but now it is ten catties.

With the addition of dried salted fish and an extra stone of food, you have nothing to be a deserter. "

After Xu Da finished speaking, the other two rabbits were also disposed of, and he ordered: "Come and take it away, and roast it outside, just to find work for us!"

The soldier came in with a basin, with a grinning expression on his face: "The rabbits that are processed by yourself are delicious. It just so happens that the skin should be cleaned with plant ash first."

He put the rabbit and its skins in a basin and carried them out, and another soldier came in to bring water and let everyone wash their hands.

The four men who cleaned the rabbits washed their hands with soap, and sat back to eat.

Since we set up camp in advance today, we don't plan to march any more. The scouts are sent out for fifty miles to scout.

A general took a bite of rice and tasted some canned food: "The extra rice was bought by the palace and the barbarians in exchange for business in the Shibo Division."

……

"Come and try the honey rock sugar rice flower cake sent by Xiaqiu Village. The weather is hot, and if you lack sugar, you are more likely to suffer from heat stroke. Remember to drink plenty of water."

Zhu Yuanzhang is in a good mood today. He just got the previous battle report and everything went well.

Then Xiaqiu Village sent a large number of rice flower cakes, which were glued with honey and rock sugar.

The honey was sold to shopkeeper Song and others at the beginning. It was sold for [-] yuan and bought back for [-] yuan.

Shopkeeper Song and others took the money back to Zhejiang to make arrangements according to the method taught by Xiaqiu Village, otherwise they would not have enough money on hand.

When I left, I bought 1000 yuan soap for [-] yuan a piece. As long as they sell well, they can recover a lot of losses.

Waiting for the winter to transport the things to Yingtian Mansion for sale, so that the lost money will be made back and there will be a surplus.

As soon as there was too much honey, it was borrowed from the palace, and Xiaqiu Village began to make honey snacks.

When Zhu Yuanzhang was in a good mood, he rewarded the eunuchs and court ladies.

Seeing that the solar term of Lixia was approaching, and it was getting hotter every day, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't want the eunuchs and maids to die due to the heat.

There used to be no conditions, and life in the palace was tight. This year, a lot of soap, rock candy, glass mirrors and music boxes were sold.

And the fooled Yi people bought bamboo fungus and white fungus, and earned more than 100 million guan in less than four months.

This is still the result of controlling shipments. Some barbarians came back and brought a lot of things with them.

According to this calculation, the financial revenue of the palace this year can reach 300 million guan. The barbarians should work hard, take the things out and sell them quickly, and then go to Daming to exchange them.

Zhu Yuanzhang watched the court lady and eunuch knelt down to thank her, waved her hand, felt the coolness from the ice basin next to her, and muttered to herself, "Have the five thousand bees been divided?"

……

"One hundred boxes more, thirty less. It depends on the number of spleens. First send people to build awnings. When everything is ready, we will move the beehives."

The village head is busy arranging the things that Zhu Yuanzhang is concerned about.

The bees started collecting honey again, but it was too dense, and the surrounding honey sources were limited, so there were too many monks and too little porridge.

Xiaqiu Village had to take out sugar to supplement the bees, and sent people to find a place.

There must be a water source nearby, and then it is convenient to set up an awning, and there must be a honey source.

By spreading out the bees, the village can save a lot of sugar and harvest more honey.

"Hanhan, shave another bowl of ice for me." Zhu Xi was also here, and he felt the surrounding scenery shaking hotly.

Zhu Wentian shaves ice under the shed, which existed in the Song Dynasty, shaved the ice into fine powder, and poured fruit juice on it.

Unlike the Song Dynasty, Zhu Wentian didn't use a plane. He asked the village blacksmith to make a hand-operated ice shaving machine.

Using this is cleaner and more hygienic than using a plane, and the key is not so tiring.

The shaved ice was not brought from the north, it was taken from the river, and he is now using saltpeter to make ice.

When it was made, it was not completely solidified, so it was put in the ice cellar to exchange heat with other river ice, and then it was taken out for shaving.
