Villager of Daming

Chapter 495 Easy and Difficult in the Pattern (Second)

"Hey hey hey..." Zhu Xi looked at the head of the village and laughed, you don't let me take money, what do you tell us?
Zhu Biao sat up straight and was not busy drinking. He was willing to listen to other people's ideas, especially those that he could not think of.

"Skewers, here, hot, um!" Zhu Wentian grilled another handful of small skewers and handed them over.

He serves barbecue skewers for others by himself, while drinking beer, not drinking liquor, sitting by the grill to heat up, sweating a lot, drinking beer is the most suitable.

This one is a chicken skewer. When some people go home to get something, they kill a chicken and bring it to the prince and the king of Qin.

Chickens can't be taken from the people for nothing, and they will definitely return gifts. Zhu Wentian chose chicken breasts to put on and roast by the way.

"Okay, thank you Hanhan!" Zhu Biao took it casually and looked at the chief.

The head of the village also went to get skewers: "Your Highness, do you remember how the convenience store makes money?"

He just said this, the Convenience Office has not made money by selling news until now, and has always provided supporting services.

"I know, I thought it would be so troublesome to switch to beer after drinking this cup of white wine!"

Zhu Xing said regretfully that he planned to listen to some high-spirited talk, but that's it?

He understood that the place where the oil is pressed is free for the common people, and snacks are sold around.

You need to line up for oil extraction. If you come in the morning, it would be nice to go back at night, and some even have to stay overnight.

You can’t eat and live for free, you have to spend money, and earn the money yourself.

The two brothers drank half of the white wine, poured beer for another cup, clinked glasses with Hanhan, and took a long gulp.

The head of the village then changed the wine, and burped after drinking: "We will build an oil extraction workshop by the river, and don't forget His Highness Shangzhou County on the other side, it is about sixty miles away from here.

We also need to build workshops by the river. One is to use water power, and the other is to facilitate transportation. The river over there is called Danshui.

At present, the oil squeezed from the walnuts on the mountain cannot be used up locally. At the same time, there are lacquer trees in the local area. Whether it is for lacquer or seed oil, it is good.

The key is to sell it, you need to attract merchants, come over, or your Highness can form a caravan himself.

If department stores are used, the channel of department stores can be spread over, and department stores will be spread all over Ming Dynasty in the future.

To attract businessmen, it is necessary to build an inn and provide supporting services. At the same time, the land route must be connected with Lantian County. "

This is what the head of the village wants to say, not what Zhu Xi thinks is only to provide services to the local people.

"Chief, I respect you!" Zhu Xi smiled, thinking that he was wrong.

……

In the afternoon of that day, some people went to Shangzhou County to exchange things with the people without people coming over there. The people provided them with walnuts, hawthorns and dried plums in exchange for soap, alkali and salt.

This treatment is obviously not as good as that in Luonan County. There is no way, I can't go there anymore, I need to go over the mountain from here.

At noon the next day, the team that went to Shangzhou County came back, and everyone gathered and set off for the mountain.

The people in Luonan waved their hands and sang folk songs to see them off, and some people shouted for His Royal Highness King Qin to come quickly.

From yesterday to today, a good pier has been repaired here, and two boats with small sails and oars are left behind.

Where the water is shallow, you can use a pole to hold the boat, when the water is deep, paddle, and when the wind is good, lift the sail.

The boats are left to the local county government, who are responsible for taking the people downstream to buy and sell things. They can't go more than a hundred miles and don't need road guidance.

"We have to live on the top of the mountain tonight? Look at the ground, someone walked by here."

Zhu Xi walked up the stone steps built yesterday afternoon and this morning, looked around, and judged that someone had been there.

"There is a plank road next to it. This ridge completely isolates Chang'an from the outside world, but it can't stop the corruption of the imperial court."

Li Chang held a simple map in his hand, and he drew the Qinling Mountains, which encircled most of Chang'an to the west, southwest, southeast, and east.

After crossing the Yellow River, it is still within its sphere of influence. It seems that it is safe to defend. In fact, when that day comes, there is no dangerous road that can prevent the demise of the dynasty.

"That's right, that's right, let's repair the plank road in the future, and blow up the places that can be bombed. There is no road.

Our fief requires smooth logistics, blowing along the mountainside to create a spacious road for us.

Then there is the problem of falling rocks above, and mudslides, but here there are more rocks and less mudslides. "

Zhu Xi stopped to look at the probe, looked at the simple map, and talked about future plans.

He doesn't want to be trapped in Xi'an Mansion, he needs to respond to Tian Mansion frequently, and he can go to other younger brothers' places for a while.

Zhu Wentian listened beside him and held back his laughter. Now that Zhu Xi hadn't become a fan, he thought he could stroll around casually.

After waiting for the vassal to be granted, Lao Zhu would tell him that he was not allowed to leave the fiefdom. If he wanted to return to the capital, he had to apply, and all the princes could not go back together, they had to come one by one.

This has been the case in history, and it is estimated that it will not be used now.

All fiefs will have department stores. The department stores are not owned by Zhu Xi, but by Zhu Yuanzhang.

Usually buying and selling, but also responsible for collecting intelligence, it is absolutely impossible for the vassal king to mobilize the army to enter the capital.

Take a small number of guards back, no problem, go back!What is enough manpower for?

……

That night, everyone set up camp on the top of the mountain. Sure enough, there are only stones here, which is different from the lush greenery in other places.

There is some grass, and arrow bamboo growing here, and the beasts in the woods have been cleared, including snakes.

"If there is a bamboo forest, it is suitable for raising bamboo rats. We asked the people in Luonan to raise bamboo rats and go up the mountain to cut bamboo. Bamboo is not afraid of cutting and grows fast.

Bamboo rat meat is really fragrant. Bamboo rats can be raised very large and have a lot of oil and water. Their fur is perfect for making clothes here in winter.

Li Chang, is there bamboo in Shangzhou?Can I raise bamboo rats like Luonan?

When the time comes, we will build the road, and we can even sell furs to the north, or supply them to other places in Xi'an Prefecture where furs are scarce. "

Zhu Xi's first thought when he saw the arrow bamboo was to raise bamboo rats, which eat meat and use skins, which is easy for the common people to raise and has high economic benefits.

He didn't even think about writing bamboo poems, and his mind was full of local economic development and people's livelihood.

"Yes, and there is no need for mountains. There are bamboo forests at the foot of the mountains. People also catch bamboo rats to eat, but bamboo rats are difficult to catch.

However, the branches of arrow bamboo are thin, so it is not suitable for making bamboo rafts, but it is suitable for sailing boats, and it is also good for fences.

For example, chicken cages and duck houses are made of arrow bamboo, which is convenient and appropriate. "

Li Chang holds a bamboo in his hand, one foot long, and gestures for archery. The bamboo pole of the arrow bamboo is suitable for making arrow shafts.

"Nowadays, guns are used. The arrows have a short range and are at a disadvantage. Are there any bamboo shoots in the bamboo forest there?"

Zhu Xi looked at the growing ones and compared them, smiled, and wanted to eat bamboo shoots.

The head of the village put down the bamboo pole: "No, the local climate is not suitable for the growth of winter bamboo shoots, they will only be available in spring, and the bamboo shoots of arrow bamboo have a good taste, they are thin and tender when eaten.

The village has a method of soaking bamboo shoots in salt, which allows the bamboo shoots to be preserved for a longer period of time and can be sold for money when shipped out.

In fact, in order to make money, the village released the planting method of bamboo fungus, so that people can learn to plant it in suitable places. "
