Villager of Daming

Chapter 579: Father Liu Ji, a master of organization (second update)
"Before the locusts become a climate, there are enough chickens and ducks to deal with it. If there is still little precipitation this year, people need to take the initiative to catch the locusts and don't give them a chance to lay eggs."

According to what Hanhan said, the village chief said that after locusts lay eggs, they grow very fast, and the eggs can survive being buried in the soil for several years.

It's okay to plant paddy fields, but they need to be plowed and then soaked in water, so that the locust eggs will be drowned.

For dry land, unless it is plowed first and then exposed to the sun, the insect eggs will still be alive.

"The common people will find a way on their own, otherwise they will wait to reduce production, so what if the rent is waived?" Zhu Fang felt that the common people in his fiefdom would actively eliminate grasshoppers.

Zhu Biao finished wiping his face and hands, smelled it, and nodded with satisfaction: "Come out with you and say hardship! It is indeed not easy; say enjoyment! It's no problem.

Anyway, suffering is not continuous. After suffering, you can make up for it immediately. Unfortunately, the people do not have such conditions.

It's not convenient for my father to send news here. The whole team has gone back. I don't know what happened. "

"We came out with you and Prince Qin, the prince." The chief corrected him.

"Are we the prince or are you the prince?" Zhu Biao did not accept the rebuttal.

"Your Highness is." The chief said in a smooth tone. The prince was probably confused by the wind outside.

"The snow outside has melted a lot, and some dry grass is exposed, and there is green grass in some places, but the grass has wilted." Zhu Biao changed the topic.

"Don't worry, Your Highness, in a few days, by the beginning of summer, all the ice and snow will have dissipated, and there won't be many days until the cold spring.

Its main threat is that a sudden drop in temperature will freeze the wheat seedlings to death, which is like sowing seeds for vegetables in some places.

People are not afraid of hard work, but they are afraid that after doing the work, it will be the same as if they did not do it. That is the biggest blow. "

In the past, Li Chang's life was the same as everyone else's. The most uncomfortable thing was that his work was in vain.

Zhu Biao took out the tourmaline sign carved by Zhu Wentian, looked at the cute baby on it, then turned it over to look at the same cute words, and shook his head.

"The late spring weather has delayed us a lot of time. When can we go back?" He missed his son.

No news came from Nanjing. Seeing the snow melting, he knew that the sleigh boat that went out to report the news could not come back.

There was snow when I went there, and I was running on the snow. I wanted to go this way, but there was grass, and the boat couldn't move through the grass.

If you switch to a cavalry team, you need to cross a series of rivers. The desert cannot be crossed. They have to go far around and advance on the grassland where the snow has not melted. Alas...

In fact, the village chief also missed Xiaqiu Village. Hanhan said that he was in good health and could continue to have children when he returned.

I can’t run away from home anymore. Who can bear to run away for more than a year?

"Your Highness, if we don't build many castles and build a few key ones, we will have completed our mission."

The leader thought for a moment and felt that the team did not need to stay here forever.

"Since we have good tools and no shortage of building materials, why not repair it? We must at least gain a good reputation."

Zhu Xi did not agree to leave immediately. That was his consideration before coming here. He wanted to come here to have a look, then plan the repair of the fort, and then leave it to others.

See what's out there now?There are so many steam engines, and once the weather warms up, the excavators will work quickly.

There are 13 people gathered here. There are no old people, women or children. They are all good laborers. There are [-] highly skilled craftsmen and technical support from Xiaqiu Village.

Even if the Great Wall is built, it can still cover hundreds of miles, right?Look at the vehicle speed and cargo capacity being transported.

After all, this is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. If we can repair the entire defense line, how will the history books be written in the future?
Zhu Biao had the same idea: "Yes, let's build all the forts when we come here, and bring back the craftsmen and a large number of soldiers." He mainly wanted to take the craftsmen away, because these craftsmen are so useful.

The craftsmen themselves are all powerful beings in their respective fields, and they learn from each other in the process.

Many of the craftsmen's side jobs are better than the majors of other ordinary craftsmen. With the guidance of drawings and actual construction from Xiaqiu Village, the craftsmen have made great progress.

Such craftsmen cannot be let go anymore, they must be used intensively, and they will be paid more when the time comes.

For other craftsmen, for a day's work, those who are paid thirty or fifty cents are already pretty good, but those who can get one hundred cents are outstanding.

Nowadays, five thousand craftsmen are paid [-] coins a day and [-] coins a month. This is a normal price, and there is no problem if it is doubled.

The mayor looked at the two highnesses and said: "Well, let's hurry up. The late spring cold only affects crops and has a bad impact on the land."

After the matter was decided, everyone began to disperse, going to various places to lay foundations and put in various large-scale equipment.

Not to mention big animals, they need help pulling the cart.

Cars with steam engine wheels also plodded forward on the grass, which was better than being carried or carried by people.

If it's broken, repair it. For ordinary people, it's a troublesome thing if a wheeled vehicle breaks down. But it's very easy for skilled craftsmen to replace the broken parts.

If they don't repair it, they just replace it. The replaced bad parts, including the wheels, will be taken away by someone who will be responsible for centralized repairs.

If the rivers can be connected, or the distance between the two rivers is not too far, then the big animals can run to the river alone and wait.

A boat was launched from the Hun River in Helin, and things were loaded on the boat and sent to a certain location. Either it was built directly next to it, or it was sent ashore, and then it was pulled by animals on a cart.

The location is good, and it doesn't matter if there is no river nearby. We determine the key here and the drilling team goes there to drill the well.

Zhu Biao just said, "After the work is done, everyone will be given at least ten guan of money when they return." This is what Zhu Biao said to the soldiers.

For craftsmen, calculations are done separately. It depends on the ability of the craftsmen. Someone is responsible for statistics.

"You look familiar to us!" Zhu Ping saw a person in charge of statistics, the same person who helped organize things smoothly before.

However, he never met Zhu Biao and Zhu Ping. He was responsible for logistics. Everyone said that he was good and he was busy all day long.

"His Royal Highness King Qin, I am Liu Lian! My father's name is Ji." The person in question looked at Zhu Xi calmly.

"Oh! Then you can go directly to me and my brother! You are hiding in the team and working, are you well fed?"

Zhu Xi found that this familiar stranger's skin had changed. When he saw Liu Lian in the deli before, Liu Lian was still very white, but now he is dark.

The eldest son of Liu Ji and Liu Bowen has always performed well in the team, getting along well with others and having strong organizational skills.

Liu Bowen can tell fortunes, but is he bad at math?His son is guaranteed to follow suit.

"My father said that if the situation was unclear, it could easily lead to death, so I had no choice but to hide."

Liu Lian is 26 years old this year, eight years older than Zhu Ping, but he still behaves like a 'younger brother'.

"Why don't you hide now?" Zhu Ming looked helpless.

"We can't hide. We saw what His Highness the Crown Prince and His Highness King Qin were going to do. They were too busy. We have to step forward and help." Liu Lian licked his mouth with his tongue, his lips were chapped.
