Villager of Daming

Chapter 347 Recruiting Copy Officer Yuantu (Fourth)
As soon as the chief said what he said, Zhu Yuanzhang and others looked at Hanhan again.

At this time, they became more and more sure of the status of the village guards in Xiaqiu Village. In their eyes, what was in the box was important.

As a result, the box followed the village guards, no matter how many memorial tablets were written or how many sacrificial halls were built, it was true that Hanhan went in to sleep.

Just like a prince's mansion without a prince, it is definitely not a prince's mansion.

In Xiaqiu Village, neither the village elders nor the head of the village can decide which sacrificial hall is used for sacrifices, but they look at Hanhan.

"Your Majesty, are there any masters of calligraphy and painting in the team? I can't draw such a picture, I can only draw simple lines."

The head of the village didn't want everyone to focus on Hanhan, so he urged Zhu Yuanzhang to draw quickly.

"We can't toss things back and forth. Let's stay longer, so as not to delay state affairs, find someone to come and copy for us."

Zhu Yuanzhang obviously also wanted to get the picture quickly, and then find someone to engrave it, and print out a copy for careful collection.

If someone rebels or a disaster occurs somewhere, you can deploy it by looking at the map.

He recalled it and found that none of the ministers today can copy the picture properly, although this picture is not difficult to draw.

Compared with the landscape paintings of some famous artists, there are people who can fake them, and they are exactly the same as the real ones, including the ink halo.

Of course, there is the easiest way to remove this picture now, by peeling off the layers. Looking at the paper, four layers, or even five or six layers can be uncovered.

But Zhu Yuanzhang knew that Xiaqiu Village would not agree, so he was also reluctant.

The box was locked again, and Zhu Yuanzhang sent people to deploy people outside the sacrificial hall, and he wanted to get his own place.

"Yichang, I still drink mutton soup at noon. Let's drink some white wine and medicinal wine. After reading the picture you provided, I am sick." Zhu Yuanzhang turned his head and joked with the chief.

"Your Majesty, don't scare the people. If you drink mutton soup, you can drink mutton soup." The head of the village is not afraid anymore.

"Where does Hanhan usually stay?" Zhu Yuanzhang was more willing to get in touch with this simple and honest boy after knowing that the village guard was more important than the box.

"Tree, mill, ummmm!" Zhu Wentian pointed at the entrance of the village.

That was the place he used to like to stay, because he had strength, and he could help the villagers anytime when they were grinding things.

"Go there and have a look." Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the chief.

The chief had nothing to do, and said along the way: "Please, Your Majesty!"

When everyone came to the entrance of the village, they could see three archways, and trees and mills were inside the archways.

There is a stone under the tree, which is where Hanhan sits and can look at the river.

There was not much dust on and around the stone mill, and someone had obviously cleaned it frequently.

"Hanhan is willing to stay here?" Zhu Yuanzhang pushed the mill with his hand.

"At that time, there was no big pot for rice in the village, each family ate its own food, and someone always came to grind the rice. Hanhan was very strong, he was guarding during the day, and when someone came to grind the rice, he happened to help.

There are a lot of small stones next to it, pebbles that Hanhan found from the river, and if any chickens, ducks and geese want to run out of the village, he will hit them with stones.

The hitting is accurate, the force is not bad, and the poultry will not be injured. Roosters and geese are afraid of him when they see him.

But the dog in the village is close to him. Sometimes he throws stones into the river on the bank, and when he catches a fish, the dog jumps down to catch the fish.

But at that time, we were poor and had nothing to feed the dogs, so the dogs could only catch mice and eat grass by themselves.

Dogs have the best fur in summer. There are grasshoppers, cicadas, and frogs. Anyway, the dogs in the village eat everything they can eat.

It’s just that when the dog gets old, he will leave the house by himself, and he doesn’t know where he died. I used to think that the dog didn’t want people to see it die, but I later found out that it wasn’t. "

The head of the village introduced the situation of the village in the past, and he was also recalling it himself.

"Because of what?" Zhu Xi also knew that the dog would leave the house and die outside when it was old, and what he thought was that the dog couldn't bear to make its owner sad.

"Dogs are domesticated from our ancestors who caught wolves. If a wolf grows old, it will be eaten by other wolves if it does not leave the team.

The same is true for dogs. If they feel that they are not good enough, they will leave, so that they can live for a while longer.

It's not that they can't bear to see their master sad, they leave because they are afraid of death. There are dogs in our village, and they strangle them to death and eat them when they feel old. "

The head of the village said what Hanhan taught, yes, the dogs didn't think that way, they ran out because they were afraid of death.

"Are all dogs like this?" Zhu Biao felt a little uncomfortable.

"No, the hunter's hounds will not run out to die by themselves, they will always follow the hunter to catch the prey, even if they die, they will die at the mouth of the prey.

So there are very few hounds that die of old age, they are all desperate. They have meat to eat, which is better than the dogs raised in the village.

It's just that he didn't live as long as the village's dog leader, so he died after fighting hard, or was bitten to death by prey, or died of exhaustion. "

The head of the village introduced a different situation. He didn't know these things before!

It was also the first time for Zhu Yuanzhang and others to understand the situation of dogs in this way. Although they don't know if they can be used, they feel very powerful.

The key is that an expert knows everything, but it is a pity that no expert can be found.

"Who's coming over there?" Zhu Yuanzhang put his hand on the mill, and found someone coming, and was stopped by his guards far away.

Someone came running over there: "Your Majesty! Song Zifu, the magistrate of Ningguo Prefecture, and others have come and said they want to see the summer grain harvest in Xiaqiu Village."

"Come here when you come! Let's see he is greedy for mutton soup." Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile.

He was not angry, it was impossible for his whereabouts to reach Ningguo Mansion.

The other party obviously calculated the harvest time of wheat, ramie, and rapeseed in Xiaqiu Village, and came here to check the situation when they thought it was almost time.

It proves that they have Xiaqiu Village in their hearts, that's great!Xiaqiu Village is the most critical.

After a while, Song Zhifu and others led the horses across the memorial archway. At this moment, they understood the situation, and His Majesty came down.

No wonder Li Zhengzheng and the others who arrived earlier didn't give any news. They couldn't give it, and they were wronged.

Song Zhifu and others were very embarrassed. They knew that the county officials had gone to Xiaqiu Village. It had been two days. Why didn't there be any news?

Is it because there are no horses available in Xiaqiu Village, or is it because the government servants don't know how to ride horses anymore?

Seeing that it is time to harvest, most of the people in Xiaqiu Village have gone to Nanjing, and the rest are kept by the managers. Can we do you a favor?
The more critical the moment, the more unreliable you are, and we have to come here in person and wait to meet.

So... I saw it.

"Your Majesty, Your Highness the Crown Prince, Your Highness the King of Qin..." Song Zhifu and others came over, saying hello and going to...

"Don't kneel down, the concrete floor is hard, the yamen servants follow the people, put the horse...no need, no need for the horse, you guys come here, it's cool under the tree."

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and asked someone to arrange the horse, but the horse knew the way by itself and ran away, and he knew that the horse was very happy just by looking at it.

So Song Zhifu and others bowed and thanked them, letting the sweat flow down their foreheads.

The children ran here and brought sour plum soup from Jingshui Town.

"Your Majesty is here in person, and the minister waits to greet you..."

"Okay! We are closer from Nanjing than you from Xuancheng. Where do you go to meet us? Li Guan, the county magistrate, and the others greeted us."

Zhu Yuanzhang was unwilling to waste his mind on this, and signaled the officials of the government office to stand under the tree.
