Villager of Daming

Chapter 431 Hurrying can also make money (third change)
On the seventeenth day of the seventh month, accompanied by the sound of playing music, the team of Prince Zhu Biao and King Qin Zhu Xi set off.

Everyone boarded the boat, crossed the Yangtze River by water, went ashore on the opposite side, first went to Jiangpu, and then passed Chuzhou, so that we could go to Fengyang Mansion, which was closed for work.

After passing the central capital, continue to advance northwest to Henan, from Henan to Shaanxi, and continue northward to the grassland.

When you arrive in Henan, you can still see the coal mines and the place where magnesium sulfate heptahydrate is produced, but you can't see the alkali mines, which are too far to the west.

The vanguard team set off on the road yesterday, and they will arrange many things in advance.

The people of Xiaqiu Village were on the same big boat as Zhu Biao and Zhu Xi, as well as the maids and eunuchs from the Prince's Mansion and Prince Qin's Mansion.

Set off in the morning, and disembark at Jiangpu at noon to gather and organize the team.

Those who arrived yesterday are now serving meals, others eat stews, and the prince has two stir-fried dishes.

A celery fried meat, a cucumber scrambled eggs, rice is the same.

Zhu Biao took a sip and nodded, it was okay, it was made by the people from Guanglu Temple.

"There's no need for the soup. Fill half a bowl with the stewed vegetables, and put more soup." Zhu Biao saw that someone wanted to make soup, so he stopped it.

Stewed vegetables are eggplants stewed with meat. Because they are stewed in an iron pot, the eggplants are stewed black in color, with sliced ​​meat inside, so they are not fishy when eaten.

The people in Xiaqiu Village eat the same food as Zhu Biao, and they also want stewed vegetables for soup, and they share the small dishes made by the village with Zhu Biao and Zhu Xi.

The big altar pickles brought by the team are produced by Jubiqi, and the ingredients are not so good because they are cheap.

"We'll spend a lot of money on this journey! At least we can't let the team run out of food."

Zhu Yu was used to settling accounts. The entire team consisted of more than [-] people, [-] troops, and the rest were craftsmen and odd jobs.

It is really impossible to send more people, and the big troops that can fight are in the north!
Ying Tianfu needs human guards again, so it is not bad to be able to draw 2 people for Zhu Biao.

Only when the [-] people who escorted the captives arrived at Yingtian Mansion could Zhu Yuanzhang feel at ease.

"His Royal Highness Qin Wang, in fact, it can reduce a part of the loss." The head chief used stewed eggplant to make rice, took a bite, and said loudly.

"Is it not for meat? The meat is still bacon, and other things can't be preserved, so it's not easy to disturb the people along the way."

Zhu Xi shook his head, he didn't have the strength to travel without eating meat, and everyone didn't go there to endure hardship.

If people get sick because of food problems and cause non-combat attrition, that would be wrong.

The head of the village shook his head: "Meat is eaten as usual, we can buy something with the local people on the way, and then sell it in other places.

Look for the county seat of the state capital, so that you can make a little profit, and no one collects taxes for our business.

Specialties are different from place to place, so if you find them, there will be a difference in price. "

"What specialties does Jiangpu have?" Zhu Xi never knew what good things could be found in this poor place.

"This... this place doesn't count. Its specialty products are all stone, glass, cement, brick and tile ceramics, which cannot be taken away for sale.

However, kilns can be opened here, or stones can be mined and transported to other places for sale. Our smelter needs things here.

Although we can't make money on the road, it's okay to help Daming in the future. "

The village chief thought about it, and found that there was really nothing that could be sold in the local area.

There are many medicinal materials in Jiangpu, and there are many kinds of snakes. It is better to take the medicinal materials to other places and sell them, so it is better to send them directly across the river.

"Is there any good stone in Jiangpu that can be used to burn colored glaze?" Zhu Biao ate a few mouthfuls, listened to the two talking, and now asked.

"There is a place called Damasan, where the stones are the best for burning glass." The head chief nodded.

"Write it down and arrange for someone to give it to the palace." Zhu Biao didn't want to give up the good things.

Some people immediately went back to pass the message, and they didn't even have time to finish the meal. They had to spread the news to the other side of the river, and then came back for dinner.

After eating, everyone continued to drive under the sun, but Zhu Biao was not exposed to the sun while sitting in the car.

In front, we need to cross the mountains and forests, and then cross the river.

Before dark, the team arrived in Chuzhou, Zhu Biao did not enter the city, but set up camp outside the city.
The officials of Chuzhou received the order and ran to see the prince.

Zhu Biao asked about the people's livelihood and economy in Chuzhou, including the construction of rivers and embankments here.

There are many rivers in Chuzhou, large and small rivers, so there are many fish.

Zhu Wentian took his friends to cook in the kitchen outside, and told the people in Guanglu Temple not to worry about the meals of the prince and King Qin.

There are a lot of fish here, so I naturally use fish as the main course.

Zhu Xi watched other people's work, and talked to the head of the village from time to time.

"Zhu Lichang, what kind of special production capacity is there in Chuzhou?" Zhu Xi remembered the thing mentioned earlier that he received the goods all the way and sold them elsewhere.

"Chrysanthemum, we can't get it this year, and it will take nearly two months. Local people like to use it to make desserts, such as chrysanthemum cake, and they can also soak it in water and wine.

If you want to collect them, you can collect dried chrysanthemums from people's homes and take them to other places to sell.

At the same time, there are a lot of fish and shrimp here. If the common people master the method and someone provides a market, they can make the common people make dried fish and shrimp.

In addition, to the north from here, there is a river called Chihe, in which there is a species of fish called squid, which the locals call Qiaozuibai.

The meat of this fish is tender, and it is a good food tonic. In fact, it is also found in other rivers, such as the one you see being steamed now.

This fish is made into dried fish and can be taken out to eat at any time. The large-scale production area is in Nushan, where there is a Jiayouyuan. "

The head of the village obviously memorized all the situations on the road, and Zhu Xi told him when he asked him.

"Then let's collect last year's dried chrysanthemums? Let's see if we can sell them. The fish is useless, and other places may not recognize it. We know it ourselves, and we will find a way to send people across the river to catch it in the future."

Zhu Xi decided to do a business first to see if there were any chrysanthemums in the homes of the common people.

Zhu Biao also finished talking with the officials, and the officials returned to the city without disturbing them.

When they were leaving, Zhu Yu called them to stop and asked them to post a notice, which would be posted early tomorrow morning, telling merchants and common people that those who had chrysanthemums could sell them.

He deliberately emphasized that it was for sale, not for demand, and he didn't need the help of people from Chuzhou to collect it.

The officials agreed to promise not to forcibly confiscate things from the people.

Everyone eats, but others still eat stewed dishes. The people in Xiaqiu Village here eat stir-fried vegetables and steamed fish, and the rice is replaced by round-grained rice.

"It's delicious. It's really good. It's tender and fresh. Why didn't you know it before? It's a pity that people are still poor because of such good food."

When Zhu Yu ate plum fish, he praised it and felt sorry for the local people.

"In fact, this fish can be turned into a tribute fish. If the reputation spreads, other people will taste it and make it into dried fish for easy sale. Even the price is several times higher than before, and some people want to buy it."

Li Chang came up with an idea to turn this kind of food into a tribute for the emperor to eat, and others thought about it!How delicious that is.

"The head of the village, the emperor doesn't want to waste people and money." Zhu Biao also likes to eat this fish, and he plans to ask people to catch it here in the future.

"Let's teach the people to breed in large quantities! If you have raised too much, what is the point given to the palace?" The head of the village proposed a follow-up method.
