Villager of Daming

Chapter 607 The good land belongs to Yuanlaiyu

Ever since the prince's team arrived in Peiping, the construction of Prince Yan's Mansion has... stopped.

The construction craftsmen and other manpower were transferred out to do other things. According to Zhu Xiang, we are helping the fourth brother to build the infrastructure of the fiefdom.

Zhu Fang also said that if he had known earlier, he would have gone to Helin from Peiping, and then returned from Xi'an Mansion to stay longer in his fiefdom.

Zhu Di is fourteen years old this year and has no human rights. His two elder brothers help him decide the speed of building the Yan Palace.

The people first handed in the land tax as required, and the army had food to help the people work.

Wheat from Shandong, Henan and Hebei is slowly sent to Peiping, and then returned to the people of Peiping.

Craftsmen helped build various commonly used tools and household items, and soldiers built roads, cleaned river canals, dug mines, and cleared wasteland.

Zhu Xiang began to harvest soybeans. Some people planted soybeans last year, and they usually exchanged them for tofu, or fried them and soaked them in salt water.

The price of salt in Peiping is low, and the canal leads to the seaside. From the salt fields there, the dried salt is sent to Peiping by water.

There is a sauce seller in Peiping, and there are quite a few people buying it!Zhu Xi asked someone to buy it and taste it, and then gave the sauce to others.

Seeing that he still had time, the big vat happened to be boiling, and he collected the soybeans to make miso.

I specifically found a well. This well was the best and was tested by the laboratory in Xiaqiu Village. There were various problems with the other wells.

Soybeans are soaked, soaked, and then beaten into paste and dried in the sun. Be careful during this process to avoid flies. Use gauze to cover it, otherwise maggots will appear!
There were maggots in the sauce he asked people to buy. People were used to eating it, so they could just pick out the maggots.

Fortunately, the soybean paste made by the soybean shop is not that smelly, and they obviously know how to improve the process, otherwise others will not buy their soybean paste.

Zhu Chong makes two kinds of sauce, one with bean paste, which is called bean paste, and one that is completely crushed. The resulting sauce is suitable for frying other things.

Jubiqi's sauce is just like this. There are also broad bean sauce and sweet noodle sauce.

Zhu Biao had nothing to do for a while, so he wandered around the construction site and asked questions.

The people happily went to receive family sets, including kitchen knives, scissors, thimbles, needles, sickles, hoes, hoe, picks, shovels, hammers, claw hammers...

There are also large and small pottery jars, pottery bowls, plates, plates, jars...

130 officials from the previous dynasty studied again and taught them to the people, including new techniques for growing vegetables and field management.

"We want to save money. When we become a vassal, we can also send suits to the people in the fief. We should go from here first..."

Seeing the people of his fourth brother's future fiefdom happily receiving the things given to them, Zhu Xi naturally thought of the people of his own fiefdom.

"Second brother, in fact, we have impacted the local people in the same industry. For a long time, they were unable to buy anything."

Zhu Biao looked helpless as he considered the impact on the blacksmiths and potters.

"Didn't we just hire them to do the work? The wages are high and the work is done on a piece-rate basis. When things are worn out, we really can't ask them to come into the factory.

The future task here in Peiping is to recover the Jurchens and expand the territory, as well as Korea, which requires huge logistics. If my father hadn't granted Xi'an Mansion to me, I would have wanted Peiping.

I have to find a way to develop my place and not be compared to others. My place lies in transportation. If we blow up the Yellow River, we must blow up the Yellow River and Sanmenxia..."

Zhu Ming muttered and continued to direct others to work. He discovered a problem. Going to sea is the most important thing in the future.

Xi'an is far away from the sea!The only way is the Yellow River, the same as the third brother, but the third brother hasn't learned much knowledge yet, so he needs to help him more.The fourth brother's location is better, close to the sea, but it's a pity that we can't take the fourth brother's place.

Zhu Biao shook his head and watched as everyone turned the doenjang dough over. All six sides need to be dried into shells so that the dry inside can ferment naturally.

The weather is hot and the fermentation speed is fast. Clean it when you can, and move it to the sauce jar to add salt water. The jar must be washed clean and scalded with boiling water.

Then continue the fermentation, tossing it every day to speed up the fermentation and prevent various insects, especially flies, from falling on the gauze.

When making the dough, we usually choose to finish it in winter and spring when it has not thawed, just to prevent flies. As a result, there are always oversights, and many people's own sauce will get maggots and stink.

One side is making bean paste, and the other side is making sweet noodle sauce. Forget about soy sauce. It takes too long to make, but various pickles are fine.

Ju Biqi did this, and Zhu Ping was familiar with the road. Now that he is not the prince, he will not starve to death.

Zhu Biao participated, and the craftsmen worked according to the process in Helin, building some iron boats, installing steam engines and sailing along the river into the Bohai Bay.

Help transport the salt and dried salted fish back to sell to the people. In the eyes of the people, the seaside is far away. In the "heart" of the steam engine ship, it is less than three hundred miles away. Run quickly and set off in the morning. The next morning Just came back.

The common people did not have much money on hand, so they grew vegetables and exchanged them for dried fish, and the vegetables were eaten by the soldiers.

That is to say, Zhu Biao's team only gave and did not ask for anything. They gave things to the people for free, and they spent money to buy the people's things.

So far, for more than a month, chickens, ducks and geese have produced a batch of chicks every day, hatching day after day, and collecting eggs every day.

Otherwise, Zhu Xi would not have muttered that he had gone the wrong way. He would have built the last place well and left his fourth brother with a better foundation than his own Xi'an Mansion.

"Your Highness, the army at the seaside gave us a large piece of jade, and asked the prince and the King of Qin if they wanted it? They went to the other side of the Bohai Bay, and the people from Dingliao Duwei came to get salt and dried fish. They gave it to them.

There was also a team transporting things from the border trade with the Jurchens to respond to Tianfu. The prince and the King of Qin were here, so they sent some here.

There were pine nuts, mushrooms and ginseng that they picked last year. They wrapped the ginseng and transported it to Yingtianfu for transplanting in Xiaqiu Village. "

Several boats came back, and Zhu Taier on board was holding a piece of uncarved jade to the prince. His Royal Highness wanted to give his son a gift. The previous stones of many colors were well carved.

After hearing that Youyu, Anqing and other officials came to watch, who would take the initiative to send things to them when the prince did not come?It was their boats that rowed to the beach to buy salt.

You have to pay tax when buying salt. When the prince comes, take it directly and settle the accounts with him.

In fact, the coal and steel products from here are sent there, and the people there use them to offset their expected income.

The rest is the income of the imperial court. How can you take care of the prince's needs while the prince is outside?

A piece of jade weighs thirty or forty pounds. Zhu Biao placed the jade with a slightly opened window on the table for everyone to see.

Where the window is open, one can see a patch of emerald green, like green glass.

The officials looked around in circles, with a look of wanting to own something in their eyes.

"Does the mayor know where this jade comes from?" Zhu Biao was very helpless when he saw the officials praising the color and saying it looked like nephrite. It would have been better if the window were opened wider. Apparently the officials didn't know the origin of this jade.

"Your Highness, this is a piece of mountain material." The chief first explained the basic situation of the jade.
