Villager of Daming

Chapter 34 Delivery Private Message Village Geometric (Part [-])
"Drive, drive... Oh, drive, you should go! It's no good, change this donkey."

A donkey suddenly became stubborn in a wasteland area, and the people who came to work from other villages were not good at beating the donkey.

A person from Xiaqiu Village came over and looked at the donkey with a smile on his face: "This donkey is so good and fat! Brother, have you ever eaten donkey meat in sauce?"

"It's hard for me to eat pork, where can I eat donkey meat?" The other party shook his head.

"Eat in the evening, let's kill the donkey, then... look, let's go."

Before the people in this village could say what was behind, the donkey pushed forward, probably because it was too tired just now, so it took a rest.

The villagers from outside the village laughed: "Okay, if you don't work, you will kill and eat meat. This is a good idea. There are so many lands in your village, if you need someone to help plant them, remember to call."

The villagers hesitated: "Perhaps it will be done a few days later when the rice is harvested. Don't you grow rapeseed and ramie?"

The other party pursed his lips; "Planting, all planting, then I will find you to rent a big animal, grit your teeth, get tired, and you will be fine next year."

"Actually, it's not very tiring. What we need to grow in our village is easier than rice transplanting."

The people in this village thought of themselves last year. As soon as the rice was harvested, Hanhan let the fields be plowed and went to other villages to rent livestock.

In less than a year, there were nearly [-] livestock in the village.

In the evening, the village sent the hired people back again, and still gave them food.

"Hanhan, the wasteland is blooming, and the fat can't keep up. Will the wheat grow well this autumn?"

The long-fried grasshoppers in the village drink, worrying about getting fat.

"Dig, mud, chase again, fat, hehehe!" Zhu Wentian thought for a while, and could only do so.

There are a lot of livestock in the village, and a lot can be transported back at one time. After the wheat is planted, and there is time, they will be fertilized again.

If you want to buy wheat next year, it will be expensive, and the yield will be low, so maybe you won’t be able to ship it here.

Historical records: Four years, Shaanxi, Henan, Shanxi and Zhili Changzhou, Linhao, Beiping, Hejian, Yongping drought.

The four years here refer to the four years of Hongwu, which is next year.

The arid areas in Henan, Hebei, Shanxi, and Shaanxi are all places where wheat is grown, and people's lives are hard.

He had no choice but to talk to Zhu Yuanzhang face to face.

Even if you say it, what can Zhu Yuanzhang do?God can handle it?
Drilling a well requires manpower, artificial rainfall?What a joke!
……

Zhu Yuanzhang, who was remembered by Zhu Wentian, was also eating at night.

The rice cooked by Empress Ma has vegetables and meat.

Today Zhu Yuanzhang wants to drink wine, he is happy.

"Chongba, why are you so happy?" Empress Ma could see that Zhu Yuanzhang was happy.

"Sister, the title book that was sent urgently today is that Xiaqiu Village in Xuancheng County, Ningguo Prefecture, grows jute in the paddy field.

It is said that the jute seedlings planted elsewhere will be transplanted after half of the rice is headed, which is good for the rice.

This year, Xiaqiu Village harvested an extra crop of rapeseed and ramie, and the previous rock sugar was also their idea. "

When Zhu Yuanzhang spoke of the happy event, the common people could grow one crop and another row of crops.

In the future, there will be no shortage of food, cloth, and oil.

The common people of Ming Dynasty can eat enough, and they can beat whoever they want.

While talking, Zhu Yuanzhang took a sip of the wine, took a bite of the chicken, and tasted it carefully.

Empress Ma smiled when she heard this: "Since you let people collect brown sugar, the price of brown sugar has risen now. I heard that our rock sugar is also expensive for foreigners."

"230 Wen a catty, hum! Do you still want to use candy to earn my Daming's money?"

Zhu Yuanzhang narrowed his eyes. Recently, the imperial court collected brown sugar, and all the brown sugar collected was made into rock sugar and sold to foreigners through the Shibo Department.

Foreigners shouted that it was expensive, and bought it hard, thinking that they could make money by transporting it to other places.

"Then there are capable people in Xiaqiu Village, Chongba." Empress Ma boasted.

"Ability, I have thought of so many good ways." Zhu Yuanzhang agreed.

"It's not just these, Shigehachi, you wait, I'll fetch things."

Empress Ma left her seat, walked to the side, fetched a wooden box, and opened it for Zhu Yuanzhang to see.

Cotton cloth was spread in the box, and four things were placed.

Zhu Yuanzhang poked his mouth and sniffed: "This is...soap? Why isn't it round?"

Empress Ma pointed at something: "This is not soap made from acacia, it is better than acacia.

A businessman bought it from Xuancheng and sold it in Nanjing, and my boss sent it to me.

A piece of such soap is sold for [-] Wen in Xuancheng, but it costs [-] Wen in Nanjing. It is not easy to buy! "

"This... so expensive?" Zhu Yuanzhang knew the prices, especially Yuanxiang soap.

The thing in front of me is five times more expensive than the soap made from acacia. Who made it?
"Who sold it? Why is the boss willing to buy it?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked after thinking about it.

"Why would the boss buy it by himself? It was given to the boss by the officials of Ningguo Mansion, and he lent us the hand of the boss. Chongba, where do you think this soap comes from?"

Empress Ma shook her head, and the eldest son made it clear when he asked her to give something.

Zhu Yuanzhang rolled his eyes: "Could it be Xiaqiu Village too?"

"Chongba guessed it right, Xiaqiu Village sold it for 500 yuan the first time, and 1000 yuan the second time.

This soap was given to the officials of Ningguo Mansion for trial by the village, and they said that they didn't know if it was good or not, and asked the officials to help them use it.

The other has no fragrance, but has a faint fishy smell, which is used to wash clothes. "

Empress Ma nodded and introduced the origin of the soap, but the officials had no money to buy it.

Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned, and after a while he patted the table lightly: "Where is the trial, it is clearly a bribe.

try out?Giving something for use is called a trial, but isn’t it called a tasting for giving food?

Do you want to give the money directly and let the officials try to spend it? "

"Hehehe..." Empress Ma laughed, "Then you are the most serious crime against officials?"

"They said it themselves, how can they be punished? The punishment is also the crime of Xiaqiu Village.

You know how to give gifts to officials, but you don’t know how to give gifts to me, the emperor?How can I treat them badly? "

Zhu Yuanzhang complained that he would not directly control the people's demand for things. When there were good things, he had to pay for them.

"Speaking of which, the officials actually went to taste the food. The officials in the county went to the villages to see the people's livelihood. They used to bring their own dry food.

Now after seeing other villages, I will finally go to Xiaqiu Village and eat in Xiaqiu Village without dry food.

The boss said that the official wrote a letter saying that the villagers in Xiaqiu Village had meat and wheat every day. "

Empress Ma took the words and told Zhu Yuanzhang that there was such a powerful village.

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded: "If you have money, you will naturally have flesh. Who is the high-ranking person in the village? Willing to become an official in the court?"

He was moved, is there a hermit in Xiaqiu Village?It is impossible for ordinary people to give the village many ways.

Empress Ma shook her head: "Boss said that the officials didn't know about it, but when I asked the chief, the chief said he figured it out by himself.

oh!The boss mentioned one thing. The official letter stated that before the drought, the village obviously had a river, but it took effort to drill four wells, so the village was fine during the drought. "

"Mmm! Mmm! Mmm!" Zhu Yuanzhang nodded his head once and for all.

He doesn't care about local officials writing letters to the prince in private, the boss wants to rebel?No problem, support.
