Villager of Daming

Chapter 594: The smell of wine makes you forget everything is complicated

"Your Majesty, the crown prince and the King of Qin are the ones where the grass has grown after civilization. The road is not as good as it is in winter. It is difficult for the sledge to move forward on the grass. There is no way to send manpower to deliver the message."

Liu Bowen considered the situation in the North and comforted Zhu Yuanzhang.

"We know that there are few people sent out and they are afraid of danger on the road. There are many people sent out, but they are short of people there."

After Zhu Yuanzhang finished speaking, he took a bite of beef tendon. It tasted good, but it was not so friendly to people with bad teeth.

People came to order food one after another. The food sold in Xiaqiu Village was expensive, but some people liked it.

The guards kept the guests at a distance, helped deliver things and money, and did not allow others to get close.

Zeng Lu followed suit and ate the tendons, which made him full of teeth. It felt like a waste if he didn't eat.

He chewed and swallowed and looked at the light: "It's bright, Yanchang County is transporting oil to Yingtian Mansion. The road is long and water transportation is dangerous.

I heard that Your Majesty wants to explode the rocks in the rapids of the Yangtze River. The rocks in the Yellow River should also be exploded.

There is no other good way to Hukou Waterfall. The Sanmen Gorge of the Yellow River is about to explode, including the Human Gate, the Divine Gate, and the Ghost Gate. "

"We will discuss after they come back. This oil is not cheap. For every barrel of oil transported, Xiaqiu Village will give them one barrel of food or money."

Zhu Yuanzhang also looked at the lamp. After Tang He came back, he gave the letter from Xiaqiu Village to the villagers, and the villagers knew how to get extra petroleum jelly.

This petrolatum is good for skin care in winter, and when combined with other things, the effect will be even better.

People who live by the sea, sailors, and people in cold weather in the North can all use it.

So, he took it out and sold it to the Yi people. The Yi people had never seen such a good thing and were willing to buy it.

So Xiaqiu Village handed over the business to the palace. The palace sent people to Xiaqiu Village to operate the distillation equipment, and gave Xiaqiu Village half of the things as royalties, and the palace gave Yanchang County money.

The grain can still be given, but the grain will not be transported there. The grain harvested there will be paid to the land and left directly. There is no need to transport it to Yingtian Mansion. There is no shortage in Yingtian Mansion.

It is said that the Yi people began to let some local nobles on the road grow large quantities of grain last year so that they could exchange things for each other and send the grain to the Ming Dynasty.

The weather there is hot, and the rice grown there is produced several times a year. The taste is not as good as that of japonica rice, but it is very hungry.

The refined gasoline is used to clean oil stains and dilute paint, and kerosene is used to light lamps. The lamps here at night do not light candles and other oils, but kerosene lamps.

People bought candles for home use. They were cheaper than oil for food and brighter than oil lamps. People ate the saved oil.

Diesel is used in blowtorches to weld things, and the twenty ships brought back by the soup and are made of iron and hollow.

It is better than a wooden boat. No matter how you paint a wooden boat with tung oil, water will eventually soak in. Use nails to connect the wood, and the nails are easy to rust.

Wooden boats are also afraid of insects and mice. The main structure must be strong, so thicker wood must be used. Otherwise, if the wind and waves are strong, the wooden boats will fall apart.

Iron boats, or steel boats, are obviously better than wooden ones. For hollow boats of the same size, iron boats can hold more things.

Then weld a steel boat to see if it is bigger, add a paddle wheel, and compare it to a wooden boat of the same size to see which one is more popular.

In addition, other things need to be welded. The diesel blowtorch is really easy to use, but the temperature of gasoline cannot be reached.

Zhu Yuanzhang thought as he told the three ministers that the candles distributed to the ministers were all made of petroleum.

"They went to the Northland once, and they really had no choice but to use resources. They also improved the coking process and were able to obtain some coal tar.

It’s hard for them. We can only make everyone’s life better by constantly improving technology, otherwise everything will be lacking.There is currently a shortage of salt, so it should be transported there from the salt lake. The distance is far, thousands of miles!Don't know any good solution. "

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed as he spoke. It was not clear which car the expert from Xiaqiu Village was hiding in. Anyway, there were not so many things in Xiaqiu Village.

After going to Helin, the technology has been upgraded. Oil can be refined to produce a lot of good things, and coke stew has other by-products.

Then the winter fishing was carried out, the steam engine was modified, parts were added, and the air supply system for iron and steel smelting was also improved.

There is obviously a large group of people to feed and resources must be conserved.

Zeng Lu, Wei Su, and Liu Bowen: "..."

They didn't understand the details, but only now do they understand, it turns out this is the case!

Xiaqiu Village had stocked up on a lot of technology before accompanying the prince and King Qin to the North. After arriving there, the technology was not good enough and could only be improved.

"Your Majesty, it is recorded in historical records that there is also oil in foreign lands overseas. It is better to let them transport it over by ship."

Zeng Lu gave full play to his expertise and was knowledgeable about the past and present, and gave Zhu Yuanzhang advice.

"Yes! There is a land for the barbarians. Let them transport it, so we don't have to worry. We have to build a steel ship quickly. If it is good, we won't use wood and use wood to build the palace."

Zhu Yuanzhang endured his heartache and transported good wood from Zhongdu to build ships. Zhongdu was stopped, freeing up manpower to do other things. As expected, the people no longer complained.

The palaces in the Imperial City of Nanjing will be fully repaired in more than a year. The technology provided by Xiaqiu Village is effective, including transportation, hoisting, concrete and other methods.

The palace is not entirely made of wood and is fireproof to a certain extent. Xiaqiu Village also designed a new lightning rod.

"Your Majesty, I heard that even though some people in the nursing home used a heated kang in winter, they still died because of the cold weather. The heater in the palace is so easy to use. It can always keep the temperature hot and cold. If you are afraid of drying out, it is most convenient to put a wet hand towel on it."

Wei Su mentioned something. The place where he lived had heating, unlike the fire kang, which burned for a while at night and then stopped burning during the day.

The elderly and unhealthy people in the nursing home fell down clutching their chests during this winter, when the daytime temperature was [-] to [-] degrees Celsius, and they had no time to take medicine.

Wei Su meant to replace the almshouse with the same thing. He knew he had it and it was also used in the palace.

Zhu Yuanzhang showed a sad look: "We were too hasty last year, we should make it in the almshouse this year.

We, the Ming Dynasty, have to hurry up when eating skewers. If we had known this, we shouldn't have let the prince... No, they didn't go in vain. "

Zhu Yuanzhang became entangled as he spoke. He wanted to prevent the prince from going out, so the experts in Xiaqiu Village would provide more technology in the village, and there were sufficient resources here.

But the prince's team did not waste time and money all the way like going to Kaifeng, Henan.

The people's team taught all the way, and the people's wealth in the places they passed obviously increased, even if they were breeding, they had enough to eat.

The key point has changed in Lincheng. After the earthen fort is built, people can feel at ease and not afraid of Beiyuan coming back again.

"It's almost done. Let's go back. If we eat any more, things will be delayed!" Zhu Yuanzhang stood up and said after eating for a while.

Before the second day of the new year, he had to eat a scone and then go back to the imperial city. He had to work tomorrow, otherwise he wanted to eat and drink here all night, and finally have something to eat in the morning before going back to rest.

Queen Ma said a few words beside her, while she ate slowly while watching the many people strolling in front of her.
