Villager of Daming

Chapter 63 Dangtu Rumors of Sick Livestock (Part [-])
"Hey hey, hey hey..." Zhu Yuanzhang, who had a hard time thinking about it, took a bus to Dangtu County early in the morning.

The village wants to sell soap today, grabbing the business from the palace, and shipping four hundred cash a piece.

I got the money and planned to buy big animals. Last night, people from other villages came and told the village head that Dangtu had a lot of sick animals brought from upstream.

The person who came was from the next village, the daughter-in-law's family was in Dangtu, and the daughter-in-law gave birth to a fat boy, so someone from her mother's family came to have a look.

When chatting, I mentioned this matter, saying that the animals looked pitiful.

After the villagers knew about the situation, they went to Xiaqiu Village to tell Chief Zhu.

Xiaqiu Village always buys big animals, some of them also buy them when they are sick, and it is said that they can be cured.

People in other villages couldn't afford it. He thought that if Xiaqiu Village bought it and healed it, he would have more animals when he rented it out.

After the district chief found out about it, he found Hanhan early in the morning, and Hanhan wanted to see it.

The village originally planned to buy another batch, and the fodder was enough to afford it.

Take a look after passing by, buy good animals, and sick ones... see if Hanhan wants it.

Zhu Wentian stared at the sick ones, as long as they could be cured, he would buy them back, cheap.

After the autumn harvest, in fact, many livestock are not easy to buy, and there is straw to feed them.

Pigs are about to celebrate the New Year, and they are generally reluctant to sell them. They keep their own pigs for food, or wait until the twelfth lunar month to sell them at a high price.

"When I'm shopping this time, I bring back a batch of daily necessities. I hire people to do the work, but I don't have enough farm tools."

Lichang swallowed the steamed stuffed bun in his mouth and drank the cucumber egg drop soup in his water sac, mentioning the needs of the village.

In addition to farm tools, you also need to buy pots and pans and other things.

This year's rice is harvested, and the villagers divide it according to the number of their own fields.

The village then sends envoy money to buy the villagers' rice, and the village pays the land tax that needs to be paid.

The same operation is done after the jute is harvested, which is equivalent to paying dividends to the villagers.

The villagers keep the money and use it to marry their daughters-in-law and daughters-in-law.

Zhu Wentian laughed for a while to make the villagers feel happy, and then bowed their heads to eat the buns.

I didn't eat when I came out in the morning, I ate on the way, for fear that the livestock would be bought away.

He didn't think too much about selling soap or buying livestock. He was thinking about how to get Zhu Yuanzhang to stop building the Central Capital.

The Central Capital was built for several years, and it was a waste of time and money. In the end, Zhu Yuanzhang was useless and killed many people.

With so many craftsmen, it is better to use them for other purposes, such as making firearms. Zhu Yuanzhang has firearms in his army.

There is still a lot of money and materials, and the big logs are shipped from far away.

Big wood shipbuilding is better, folks are not allowed to go to sea, the official fleet is bigger to patrol the coast or go out for trade, and it is also good to transport food back.

Zhu Wentian considered his own influence, could Zhu Yuanzhang listen to what he said?
How to fool, no, how to persuade?Write a political economy for Lao Zhu to read?
Improve the firearm and ask Lao Zhu to try it out?Get a hot air balloon to scare Lao Zhu?

Zhu Wentian thought about it one by one, looking for a breakthrough, and he couldn't just watch resources being wasted.

What kind of capital is being built in Fengyang? The part that is built now is suitable for use as a factory.

The local quartz stone is called more than one!Would you like to burn some glass exits?

As for the iron mines in Fengyang, no need, go north from the current location, that is the Ma'anshan mine group area, but it has not been developed.

Lao Zhu didn't know how long the iron ore group next to Nanjing could last, and the coal mines here were enough to support the current demand.

I feel that the local coal is not good enough, Huainan next to Fengyang, where there is good coal, there is no need to go to Pingdingshan.

"Hanhan!" Xiao Qi, a villager next to him, shouted.

"Huh?" Zhu Wentian raised his head.

"Take a sip of soup, you choked on the steamed stuffed bun." Xiao Qi reminded.

"Eh? Hmm! Soup, drink, hehe!" Zhu Wentian found that it was indeed a little dry, so he opened the water bag and gulped it down.

"Hey hey hey!" Xiao Qi said hey hey twice, took out a piece of paper, read the words on it, and learned to write with his hands on his lap.

All the villagers in Xiaqiu Village will learn to read and write when they have time.

The head of the village and the clan elders demanded that other villages would have no chance to learn from it. In your own village, there are village guards to teach, so we should cherish it.

I don't know how to read, what should I do if I go out and get someone to cheat me?
The way to learn is to memorize a sentence first, and let the village chief or Hanhan write it down on paper.

Watching and reading, and then learning to write, this process will be very long.

It takes several years to recognize normal characters and read, and the content should not be too profound.

The laws of the Ming Dynasty are not perfect at present, only laws and decrees. In order for the common people to understand, Zhu Yuanzhang asked people to write a law and decrees to explain it directly.

The direct interpretation of laws and decrees is used to explain the meaning of each law and order, all in plain language.

Even so, you have to find someone to go to the place to read to the people and tell the people what is illegal.

Generally, the village chiefs are in charge, and there are not enough officials to go to the countryside.

"Hanhan, I can write without copying now, teach me one more thing."

Xiaoqi reviewed it, and he could still write it without looking at the words on the note. He still wanted to learn more.

"Oh!" Zhu Wentian reached into his bosom, took out a handful of notes, picked one at random, unfolded it, and handed it over.

"It's rare for someone who is filial to his younger brother to offend his superiors! Tell me..."

"It's human..." Xiao Qi memorized it hard, and it took a quarter of an hour before he could memorize this sentence.

"The meaning of this sentence is: it is rare for people to be filial to their parents, respect and love their elders, but like to offend the superiors."

Zhu Wentian saw that Xiaoqi had finished memorizing, so he gave a translation, learned to memorize more first, and then wrote.

After learning this note, it is impossible to teach those who are not good at committing crimes but good at making trouble.

"Yeah! I understand the meaning, hehehehe!" Xiaoqi was happy, learning so many words again.

Zhu Wentian took another sip of soup, he didn't want to follow suit anymore.

The long convoy finally arrived at the county seat, and the other empty vehicles were placed in designated places, waiting to be loaded.

The car with soap came to the market, and a man ran over. Everyone glanced at him and knew each other. Shi Si, is he still there?

"You guys are here?" Shi Si was overjoyed, for an instant he felt that the gloomy sky was sunny.

The head of the village responded with a smile: "This time I want to sell soap, 1000 yuan, and buy livestock and other things to go back."

"Huh? Soap from the palace? The market price is [-] yuan a piece, and a group of sick animals are sent over from the upper reaches of the Yangtze River.

Those sick animals were not allowed to be with other animals, but kept alone, can you take a look? "

When Shi Si heard the soap, he was the first to think of the one from the palace, and then introduced the animals.

He already knew that there were capable people in Xiaqiu Village who could treat livestock.

"Do you know what the disease is?" The head of the village has always been curious, why did a group of livestock get sick?
"It's hotter than normal animals, there are bruises in the mouth, and the skin on the body is also torn, especially the stomach, with blisters, and walking unsteadily.

Some people say that if you drink the bottom of the boiled hemp shoes, you can't drink it.

Now other people who buy and sell livestock want to drive them away, cattle, horses and sheep, all of them, can't this be passed on to other livestock! "

The secretary of the city said he was sick, anyway, he was planning to kick the other party out today.

"Uh... take me there to have a look, our animals are put away." The chief was worried about his own village.

Everyone went together to a single place, and indeed a group of animals looked sluggish.
