Villager of Daming

Chapter 529: Long nights and short days, working warmly (first update)
"It's not this kind of thing. It's just grassland. It exists here, right? We collected the seeds and sent them to our fief for planting."

Zhu Xi disagreed. It was too far away. How to transport the planted things?There aren't many people in the area.

"Indeed, I was too hasty, and the gold is of no use. There is a river nearby, and placer gold can be mined. I can get a few thousand taels a year."

The director said that he was anxious, and by the way, he talked about the gold.

Zhu Biao and Zhu Xi didn't react at all, obviously a few thousand taels of gold was too little.

But Xu Da and others were interested in it. They wanted to buy several thousand taels a year, not just a few thousand taels, depending on how many people were needed to hunt for it.

If a person earns 50 taels of gold a year, which is equivalent to [-] taels of silver, or [-] guan, it is a bit hard. If you work for five years, it will be enough for a lifetime.

If you buy a shop with 250 guan and rent it out, the rent will be more than [-] guan a year. Do you still have to work by yourself?

If you are lucky and get a few nuggets of gold and buy land and real estate, your children and grandchildren will have nothing to worry about as long as they don't lose their fortune!

A group of people finished the delicious fish stew with different thoughts, and the fishing continued, gradually extending upstream.

The distance upstream where you can fish is short, and you have to walk a few hundred miles to reach the source. The closer to the source, the higher the terrain.

So if there are no lakes upstream, aquatic life will obviously decrease as the terrain increases.

Just like Luoshui and Bashui, the closer to the source, the fewer fish, shrimps and crabs there are. The lower reaches of the river are wider, especially in the slow flow area, where there are more fish and shrimps, as well as mussels and snails.

“So the water-sweeping attack on the sand is like the upper reaches of a river, especially the waterfall area, which is a natural formation.

People imitate nature and use sandbags and other tools to compress the river inward. The water flow rate remains unchanged and narrows through the channel, forcing it to raise the water level and increase the flow rate.

The water is slow but the sand accumulates. If there is less sand, the water will be fast.Therefore, gentle rivers and lakes are easy to raise fish, and rivers with long basins are easy to raise fish.

For example, the Yangtze River and the Yellow River no longer care about the slowness of the water flow. The watershed is too long and fish and shrimp cannot always be washed into the sea. "

The head of the village took the opportunity to continue popularizing science. He learned a lot and had a lot of fun.

Others enjoyed listening to it and learned from it. It turns out that it is very simple, but no one has explained it to them like this before.

The chief continued to talk about which bank the river would invade due to the trend of the terrain and the rotation of the earth.

Talking about how horses like to circle from left to right, and why the hairstyle of Beiyuan people is different from the normal hairstyle of Ming Dynasty.

Because people are riding horses and shooting arrows, their hair is so much and long, and it is still on both sides. When the wind blows, it affects their vision.

The generals soon turned into primary school students, obediently listening, they are all knowledgeable!The master was so powerful that he taught it to the chief.

People are different, some people see a tall man, while others see a village chief.

Zhu Biao and Zhu Xi naturally look to the chief of the department. It goes without saying that they are experts. They are guaranteed to be good and the chief of the department can learn from them. This is the reason why their father gave them a Jinshi background.

The entire Xiaqiu Village is studying hard. When the children in Xiaqiu Village can treat people, direct buildings, and make explosives and firearms, can they be ignored?
They say they know these things because there are experts behind them to guide them. It is the experts who are great, but they are not.

Really?What the hell?What about bullshit?A female doll who can independently make nitroglycerin explosive is treated as invisible and despised?
The sergeants who were fishing didn't have so much on their minds. They were filled with happiness and joy. Why couldn't they catch all the fish?
Someone stood on the ice and weighed the baskets of fish with hooks and scales. After weighing and recording, they piled them into wooden racks and asked people on the shore to pull them up along the wooden racks.

With the craftsmen here, it is too easy to fight from the river bank to the ice surface of the river, there is no difficulty.

Then water was poured on this slide-like shelf, and ice was put on it. As soon as things were hung, the steam engine buzzed over there, and a rope became a winch rope, which continued to carry things up and be picked off.

People from Xiaqiu Village have been helping with the work and only occasionally stop to rest.

"Brother, are your feet cold? My feet hurt." Zhu Xi stood watching others working and felt cold. "Same, chief, are you cold? Chief..." Zhu Biao nodded, talking to the chief, and when he turned his head, the chief ran up to command, walked back and forth, and sometimes helped him.

"Second brother, let's go! Work, the lazy and cold you are in the north." Zhu Biao understood.

He took his younger brother up to help, and sure enough, it became less cold after a while.

"Chief! Why didn't you tell us?" Zhu Xi complained after he warmed up.

"Because we believe that His Highness the King of Qin will not freeze himself to death stupidly. It is said! There is a landowner in the north who pretends to be careless and locks a hired worker in a warehouse.

The next day was the day to pay wages, but he didn't want to pay, and the employee froze to death. He said it was not intentional, and he would just pay some compensation.

As a result, he opened the door of the warehouse the next day and found that the employee was still alive, shirtless and sweating profusely.

The hired worker is cold!Just push that mill in the barn and survive like that. "

The village chief told a folk story: As long as you have endurance and can endure hunger, you will not be afraid of the cold when working.

"We don't believe what you said, Chief, but it's true that we're not cold anymore. We have to change clothes when we go back. We're all sweating!"

Zhu Xing expressed disbelief, pushing the grind all night?The donkey can't bear it either!

"The best way for fresh fish is to steam it. Is the black bean sauce we brought enough?"

The director did not speak out about this kind of truth or falsehood. He thought about how to eat the fish after catching it.

"Enough, but not much, mainly to suppress the fishy smell, as well as dried shallots and ginger.

oops!Why is He Lin so poor!It doesn't matter what you want, where does the Emperor of Beiyuan stay?

If we move to Yingtianfu in Nanjing, why should we worry about food?Each of our workshops is built on the south bank of the Qinhuai River. "

The more Zhu Xi lacked things here, the more he missed his days in Nanjing.

At this moment, he finally felt the huge gap between being able to control everything and not being able to control it. It's better to be seven!

Li Chang smiled: "Your Highness, King Qin, we will bring Jubiqi to this place, and there will also be a department store."

"Okay! You have already said that there is gold and silver here. You can just fish the placer gold along the river. Let us fish it. We don't have the intention. Let's trade with the people they fish for."

Zhu Xi was in a good mood again, and doing business was no problem, it was simple.

Before dusk comes, everyone goes back with the fish they caught.

Obviously we have to waste torches today. When the prince didn't come, everyone changed to eating two meals a day, with short days and long nights.

Go to bed as soon as it gets dark. Two meals a day are enough.

The winter solstice has just passed, and the days are still short and the nights are long. Now there are only four hours of daylight.

This is at 47 degrees north latitude. During the winter solstice, the day and night conditions are the same. After that, the days get longer and longer. By the summer solstice, the days here are very long.

If you continue to go north and reach the pole, it will be polar day and polar night, and the day and night will change in the first half of the year, so you don't have to worry about it.
