Villager of Daming

Chapter 47
Five days later, at the pier by the river.

Song Zhifu and other government officials and a group of county magistrates in Lizhi County watched Zhao Li and the others control the boat to Nanjing.

Four days ago, they got the news that they were going to deliver the goods today and set off before dawn, and it was only the second quarter of the day when they arrived in the village.

The villagers have already loaded the soap onto the boat, and erected the fish slide designed by Hanhan by the way.

It is a slide with turns made of bamboo patchwork, including re-lengthened shelves where the fish is handled.

The chief called everyone to have breakfast, there are extra people coming today.

The team of officials was huge, and they knew that Xiaqiu Village was harvesting Artemisia and Polygonum in the surrounding villages, so they followed suit and issued notices in the county town.

They decided on their own, to exchange the dried fish they brought back, and then conscript those who have not done hard work this year to drive them over.

In fact, the village has a separate channel to contact the prince and gave Yinxin.

Zhu Wentian just told the officials to see if they had any letters to write to the prince, and send them along.

To strengthen their connection with the palace, they will be promoted to Nanjing in the future, and there will be many people in the village to take care of them.

Song Zhifu was very grateful, he is not a fool, he can see the mind of an expert.

Breakfast is fish porridge, fried fish slices, glutinous rice siu mai with fish meat, and small pickles.

Those who were conscripted to serve in labor were told when they came out that they didn't need to bring their own dry food and just follow along.

This group of people is poor, and they are generally recruited to work locally, trying not to add burden to them.

When they saw the head of the village asking them to eat together, they looked at the meal and swallowed.

When it was time to eat, they gobbled it up, eating as much as they had agreed.

"Eat slowly, don't eat to death, you can't eat anymore, I will bring you dried fish when I go back, don't eat it!"

The head of the village didn't eat it himself, and persuaded each one, promising to give something.

Only then did the other party stop rubbing his stomach, as if he could still eat these things.

"Really?" The persuaded person wants to confirm.

"Here, twenty catties for each person." The village chief promised.

"Your village is doing well, you can see it one by one."

He found that he was different from the people in Xiaqiu Village, who couldn't see the color on their faces.

The villagers always smile, and they don't see the distress of life at all.

The clothes are new at a glance, without patches, and all the patches are removed to make rags.

The table for eating together is not a patchwork, including plates, bowls, and saucers.

"Be diligent... um! The village sometimes couldn't get enough to eat, so I have to learn a new method."

The head of the village originally wanted to say hard work, but after thinking about it again, hard work is useless.

"Yes, I have to learn!" Li Zhixian said: "Look at Xiaqiu Village. After harvesting the rice, they can still plant a crop of rapeseed and hemp. Prefect, let's..."

"Post up notices to the people, ordering people to go to each village to teach, and every acre is one acre."

Song Zhifu stated that he was actually waiting for the court to issue a letter to the people.

The imperial court has not made a move yet, so I don't wait, Ningguo Mansion will do it first.

At least this year, the villages around Xiaqiu Village will plant and rent large animals from Xiaqiu Village.

There are already animals in the village that have cubs, and they will be good laborers after they are raised.

With enough feed for one cow, two mu of land can be plowed a day, and more horses can be plowed.

It's just that ordinary people can't afford horses, so they have to feed them.

Xiaqiu Village has to buy grain to feed, and the grain grown in the village is not enough.

50 people and [-] vehicles came to help. They walked slowly after eating to digest food, and then helped unload grass.

Not to mention twenty catties of dried fish, it's worth it for a breakfast.

"In the next month, you will deliver grass to the village from Xuancheng, eat in the village, and go home at night.

You can take whatever the village gives you, and come back with us this afternoon, don’t eat too much at noon, and look like you’re useless. "

Wang Dianshi told the workers that these people were selected for this purpose.

The workers showed a look of surprise, and there is still a meal?

After unloading the grass, see what work is done in the village and help out.

The villagers of Xiaqiu Village left a hundred cars to dig peat for the land reserved for wheat.

Those who didn't leave took the animals to the plow, and found some corners to open up some wasteland. Hanhan said that he would grow garlic this year.

Seeing the huge convoy going out, the helpers were frightened again.

It's no longer a matter of living well, what's going on?

After unloading the grass, they went to the village head to ask what work they had.

When they went to the paddy fields, they were speechless when they saw rice mixed with jute.

We eat at noon, and today we eat pork. Pots of trembling braised pork are served on the table, with dry rice.

They watched and were silent.

Seeing their expressions, the officials secretly laughed in their hearts.

We deliberately let you experience it, and then promote farming later, to see if you listen?
Zhu Wentian saw it, watching the study group, right?
The key is that you don't pay for the meal, do you?I will give you two less fish when you leave in the afternoon.

He eats, interjects words from time to time, and jumps to and from words hehehe!
The observation group, no, it's the helpers eating nearby, seeing Zhu Wentian's appearance, thinking that this is the son of the head of the village, right?Too spoiled, it's a pity to be a fool.

……

"It's time to eat, my sister is about to cut up the sausage, damn it! How can we not get this taste?"

In Nanjing, Zhu Yuanzhang had lunch with Empress Ma, and the soap was delivered, along with other food.

The last time Zhou Zong took something back, he admitted his mistake by the way, and fell into the pit with an expert.

There is something to eat inside, let people try it first, and if there is no problem, everyone will eat it.

Small cakes and bacon are normal, shrimp oil side dishes have a special taste, and sausages are more fragrant than sausages.

Find someone to learn how to make it, but you can't make the same taste, what's the difference?

This time again, the people who tasted it were very happy and willing to try more.

Empress Ma brought the food and did not drink at noon.

Zhu Biao holds a prescription in his hand to make soap.

"Father, one thousand wen a catty of stone soda, 80 yuan soap, plus other spices and a little salt, less than [-] yuan a piece."

Zhu Biao estimated the current cost price, and sold it to the palace last time in the village for two hundred cash for a piece of soap.

"Then alkali can be worth one thousand Wen per catty? Go to the alkali mine and bring it back, and it can cost five hundred Wen per catty?
Ah Biao!The money had to be given, and the family gave up the big head and left the small head for the villagers to live on.

Without money, what would he use to figure out new things? Do you think this soap can be made right away? "

Zhu Yuanzhang thought clearly, and the other party made it clear that the soap is very cheap, so I will give you an extra 5000 yuan.

Don't think about everything, just sell alkali, you can earn more money from foreigners!
Empress Ma made sausages for Zhu Yuanzhang and his son: "Boss, you write a letter and ask them to make sausage recipes. Ordinary people can't eat them, and they won't keep them secret."

She found that the sausage was delicious, but it was not as good as the sausage.

The sausage was chilled when it was delivered, and it would go bad in three days if it was stored normally for the current solar terms.

So who will sell it to?The village just eats for itself and asks for prescriptions.

"Yes, if you want to come, let's cook and eat by ourselves, and always deliver it chilled. Isn't ice money?"

Zhu Yuanzhang ate a piece of sausage to support his wife.

Zhu Biao followed suit, feeling a little helpless. He wanted to talk about writing a letter, but the other party didn't reply. Could it be that he didn't understand?
He shook his head, it's impossible, according to Zhou Zong, even an old man weaving sacks can say a few learned words, that person...

　Today is gone, thank you brothers and sisters for your rewards, monthly tickets, recommended tickets, and collections!The farmer bowed, hehehe!
