Villager of Daming

Chapter 352 Trivia
After the meal, the workers lie in the shade to rest, the children are more sleepy than the adults, and they are still growing!

The people in charge of copying the map concentrated on drawing one by one, and it was not difficult.

They are people from Yingtianfu, Taipingfu and Ningguofu calligraphy and painting shops.

They collect calligraphy and paintings, and also sell calligraphy and paintings, especially antiques and famous calligraphy and paintings.

Those who can open such a store must either have strong copying and counterfeiting methods themselves, or have such people under their hands.

If you can't even make fakes, how can you identify fakes?
They can even imitate landscape paintings, flower-and-bird paintings to the point of being fake, and it is not difficult to draw a simple map that does not require brushwork style.

When each of them drew, there were guards with knives beside them to protect them, so that they would not run away with the map.

They also know what is in front of them, just draw, and when someone wants to remember, they force themselves to forget.

Some people even didn't understand the situation, and they were ready to be executed at any time, thinking that they would die after finishing the painting.

In the afternoon, when Zhu Wentian and others went to the field to plant rice seedlings, another group of painters transferred from other prefectures arrived.

Zhu Xi, who discovered the situation, went to appease him personally, scolded him, and drew a picture like you, why would he die?This picture will be engraved and printed in the future. If the picture is not good, you will die. If you do it well, you will be rewarded...

After being scolded, the people who were worried before became happy instead, so they wanted to print it!Then don't be afraid.

……

"With one stone and seven fights, Shandong's production will be reduced by about half this year, but they will replant a crop of soybeans.

The yield is not as high as that after plowing the ground, but there is always an extra batch of grain, which makes it tiring when harvesting wheat.

Not all places are willing to obey. Officials are sometimes afraid of taking responsibility, and you will have to serve for another two years. "

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't go to the paddy field to see. He took the magistrate of Ningguo Mansion and the county magistrate of Xuancheng County to the side of the wheat field.

Speaking of things in Shandong, Shandong's winter wheat is harvested, and there is no stubble after harvesting, let alone plowing.

The locals plant the soaked beans directly, following the method taught by the imperial court.

Men imitate women to stick the roots of wheat to cut. The stubble left is as short as possible. Anyway, it is not raining, so it takes more work.

In this way, when the soybeans are harvested, just turn over the plow, and the previous wheat stubble is almost rotten, and the roots of the soybeans will not be affected and can be pulled out.

What Zhu Yuanzhang meant was to tell the officials of Ningguo Mansion and Xuancheng not to worry, but to stay well.

"Either you can get promoted normally, how high can you get promoted? One grade? Can you earn more salary?" Zhu Yuanzhang made his words clear.

"I am willing to be the magistrate." Song Zhifu expressed his opinion, and the others followed suit and said that they liked this place so much that they would not leave even if they were killed.

Li Zhixian also told the truth: "Being an official here can get the benefits of Xiaqiu Village, and you can raise bamboo rats and poultry to make money.

The little salary issued by the imperial court is not enough to do anything.During the holidays, the minister's family would secretly make some rock candy, and they would not sell it, just because of favors.

Others don't know wow!When returning the gift, I will return it according to that thing, and I have to shirk and ask for it.

The children in the family have no shortage of sweets to eat, as well as soap and soap, all of which are taken from Xiaqiu Village. "

The other officials nodded, saying that Li Zhixian was right, and we didn't want to leave even for this benefit.

"Yeah, yum!" Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, "The key is to cooperate with Xiaqiu Village to do all the things well, and you can't do everything you want.

We don't allow officials to embezzle and occupy, because we are afraid that officials will harm the people, and we also take things from Xiaqiu Village.

Let’s leave after the Dragon Boat Festival, send rice dumplings back to the family in advance, let’s call it... high salary and honesty, yes, that’s the word. "

After speaking, he looked at the officer waiting beside him and nodded.

The other party stepped forward: "Your Majesty, the separate measurement of one mu of mu is all up to one stone and seven buckets, and the confiscation is almost the same."

"Okay! Then send it to the north to plant. Even if it is maintained at one stone and five buckets, it will be a lot more than before." Zhu Yuanzhang smiled.

He knows that other places cannot produce a yield as high as seven buckets with one stone. Farming is not only about seeds, but also about taking care of them at any time, which requires methods and skills.

But good seeds are stronger than the original ones, with more seeds on each ear and larger particles.

The common people who grow grain produce one-fifth more, and they will not be afraid of the time when the grain is not harvested.

When people are hungry, they tend to get sick. When children grow up, they don’t have enough to eat. They are skinny and hungry. They look pitiful. When I was a child...

……

On the fourth day of the fifth lunar month, the copying of the map of Ming Dynasty was completed, and all those who participated in the copying were rewarded with [-] yuan, [-] meat dumplings, [-] jujube dumplings, and [-] catties of dried salted fish, and sent them away.

And the officials started to give things yesterday, and those in the court are counted according to their grades, like Hu Weiyong and Wang Guangyang, each with a hundred things.

The other officials are reduced in turn, and the sergeants of the guards also have the least consistent money to get.

Officials of the Ningguo Mansion who couldn't go back for the festival didn't ask for more rice dumplings because they couldn't finish them at home. They asked for oil, either soybean oil or rapeseed oil.

Then they want grilled chicken and roast duck, and send people to take them home quickly, and those who didn't come from other yamen will also give them.

Those people belonged to the housekeepers and handled various affairs, which was not easy.

"Sure enough, he is a good player. It looks similar to the original one." Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the newly copied map.

He spread 61 maps on the concrete floor, stitched them together piece by piece, and the current map of the territory of Ming Dynasty appeared in front of everyone.

The ministers stood on the shelf and looked down at the map with binoculars, all of them were full of excitement, it was so magnificent, this is the Daming country.

The state capital, counties, mountain names, and river trends seem to be flying in the sky, overlooking the entire Ming Dynasty.

Looking at it, everyone looked at Li Chang, who was standing not far below with his hands behind his back, in a very tacit understanding.

Of course, looking at him, it was not him, but the expert who had been hiding in Xiaqiu Village.

What a skill this is!How can it be?Where did you go before?Why did it only come out a few years ago?

"If he had stood up to assist His Majesty a few years earlier, when he was fighting in various places, he should be able to be a prime minister now, right?"

Wu Lin, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, suddenly spoke out what was in his heart. After speaking, he shrank his head and looked around.

"Even if he comes out now, let's give him a prime minister. In the past few years, we have all relied on him to help Daming get through the difficult days."

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't care what Wu Lin said, anyway, he knew that he wasn't the head of the village, and the head of the village couldn't draw pictures.

He saw many original manuscripts in the box, which obviously did not match Li Chang's handwriting, and Li Chang's handwriting was average, far worse than that of the expert.

"Chongba, put it away! After a while, a bird will fly, from the sky..."

Empress Ma is also standing on the shelf, she has the qualifications, and the officials have no objection.

When Zhu Yuanzhang was fighting, she was in charge of logistics scheduling. Who would dare to refuse?She is not only the queen, but also the commander in chief of the army.

"Take it, wait for the engraving to be finished, and print a few more sets. We'll hang it on the wall in the temple, and you'll be able to see it when you turn around."

Zhu Yuanzhang is kind and good, just take a look at it, what if the birds fly and drop the guano?
