Villager of Daming

Chapter 651 Yue Mingxin secretly high price

"Oh? Why?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked the reason naturally.

The nearby ministers took a long look, but couldn't help but look at Hu Weiyong.

Hu Weiyong: "..."

He simply ignored the gazes of others and just stared at Li Chang. Even the round moon in the sky could not illuminate the haze in his heart.

Yes, adding a bunch of lights won't do either.

He knew why others looked at him. He looked more like the Prime Minister than the Prime Minister. So many things happened in one day?
How good would it be to take care of things in your Xiaqiu Village honestly?Do you want me to give you a right?

The head of the village also pretended not to see anyone else's eyes, and replied: "Your Majesty, if today's craftsmen are returned to various places, they will not be of much help to the local areas, but they will be a loss to the court.

Most of the craftsmen were recruited and their family members were not in Yingtian Mansion. Life in the two places was obviously not good.

Build a large factory, bring in the families of the craftsmen, send the children to school, have women's jobs, and take care of the elderly at home.

A unique cultural circle will be formed within the entire factory area, and a technical school will be opened to cultivate more professional technical craftsmen for the Ming Dynasty. "

"Your Majesty, what Zhu Lichang said existed in the Tang Dynasty." Zeng Lu spoke up while everyone was thinking: "The Shaofu in the Tang Dynasty had this position and was in charge of the skills of hundreds of craftsmen, but it was abandoned by the previous dynasty.

The fine carving work is taught for four years; the craftsmanship of chariots and musical instruments is taught for three years; the craftsmanship of flat and smooth knives and branches is two years; the craftsmanship of arrowheads, bamboo and lacquered willow trees is half a year; and the craftsmanship of crowns and bows is nine months.

Teach the author a family skill, test it with the Prime Minister in the four seasons, and test it with the Supervisor at the end of the year, all of which are famous for their work. "

"Well! It's good." Zhu Yuanzhang was happy. Zeng Lu saved him in vain. Whenever he encountered such a thing, he could tell it immediately.

"It is exactly what Zeng Yushi said, but the Shaofu is small in scale and only serves the palace. The factory in Ming Dynasty will build the cornerstone of the country for the entire Ming Dynasty." The chief continued.

"Okay, okay! The moon tonight is as round as a silver plate, illuminating people's moods clearly.

Jian, as I mentioned before about building a house, just moved the craftsmen’s families here to avoid the pain of separation.

While there is still time, pick up people from the craftsmen's homes according to the roster. The craftsmen in Helin also take their families to Yingtian Mansion first.

Their family’s fields and real estate...well..."

Zhu Yuanzhang hesitated when he said this, suddenly turned his head and asked, "How do you think Hu Qing should handle it?"

Hu Weiyong: "..."

The ministers: "..."

"Your Majesty..." Hu Weiyong, who was depressed, said one word to delay time, thinking hard that this was not easy to say and would offend others.

If the craftsman's family was asked to be sold, some people would accuse Hu Weiyong, the left-hand prime minister, of forcing people to sell off their ancestral property.

They said that if the craftsmen's families were allowed to come over and the fields and houses would continue to be left to others, some people accused Hu Weiyong, the left prime minister at the time, of teaching people to leave fertile land uncultivated.

Hu Weiyong took a deep breath: "Your Majesty, I think I should ask the craftsmen and their families."

After saying that, he lowered his head. He would never take the blame anyway.

Zhu Yuanzhang lowered his lips: "What are Yichang's plans?"

"Your Majesty, this is an easy matter. The official land of Yingtian Mansion is used to replace the land of the craftsman's family, and the house will naturally be replaced with a built house.

Yingtian Mansion is where the imperial city is located, and the land price is higher than other places. Not only do the people not feel that their ancestral property is being sold, but they are happy.

After the replacement, the family's fields and real estate were tenanted at low prices to those who lacked land or houses.

The money and food received will be handed over to the local government and used to support the almshouses, so that the local people can feel the kindness of His Majesty. "

The manager has prepared it in advance and is not afraid at all. Why sell it or leave it idle?If both ends don't please you, just change it. "As expected of the prince's village, Your Majesty, what a great idea." Xu Da complimented him and looked at Hu Weiyong.

Others praised him one after another, not talking about Xiaqiu Village, but the Prince's village, implying that the Prince's manpower was more useful than His Majesty's.

Instead of being angry, Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and nodded in agreement.

"My lords! Drink to win!" Zhu Yuanzhang was so happy that he raised his glass, drank the beer in one gulp, and continued to eat clams.

The other ministers had wine in their hands, so they had no choice but to follow suit.

The moon continued to move westward. At the second quarter of the first lunar month, everyone had almost finished eating and drinking. Then they ended the moon-appreciating party and went back to their own places to rest.

The other maids and eunuchs, plus the performers, yawned, rubbed their faces, and sat down to eat and drink. This was their moment.

Before Zhu Wentian left, he stir-fried another large pot of yellow clams.

……

Small harvesters were being made one after another, and every time one was built, one was used. There was no time to make the big one like Shijiu Lake, and the construction period was long, so we had to use quantity to make up for it.

There were still four days before the autumnal equinox, and the two-thousand-stone ship rushed back all the way.

In accordance with their previous instructions, they unloaded a large portion of the cargo at the wharf where the Qinhuai River flows into the Yangtze River. They notified the restaurants, restaurants and brothels that had been agreed in advance to pick it up here, and then went upstream to Xiaqiu Village.

"Look, this is it." At noon, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at a large pot of boiled yellow clams and said to the officials.

"The sea ship is really useful. One thousand five hundred stones, five hundred stones are sent, which is too much." Lan Yu knew the amount when the ship came over.

Fifteen hundred shi, sold one thousand shi, and still haven’t received the money!The remaining five hundred stones were sent over.

Five hundred stones is almost thirty tons. For a team of 5000 people, each person can get two kilograms, which is less than four kilograms of the Ming Dynasty.

"It's not much. I'll give some to Zifu and his family. It's about three kilograms per person."

Zhu Yuanzhang estimated that some of the three kilograms of yellow clams with shells would die, and would be sent to the homes of Magistrate Song and others. Everyone would try them and celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival with them...

Large yellow clams, less than twenty per pound, will be gone after just two meals.

But don't worry, the ship is being inspected. Once the inspection is completed and there are no problems, we will go again.

People who came back said that there were a lot of yellow clams over there, and the local people helped to dig them out and hired them. When the boat passed by, it brought a lot of tea, rock sugar, soap, and furs.

It was also very cold in winter there, so they had to wear thicker clothes. The fur could be used as coats, which was a benefit given to them by the court.

The administrative center of the imperial court should be tilted to the northeast, and Jiulian City was a border trade area.

The common people got the things and worked hard, specially picking the big clams for this special ship, and taking the small ones home to eat themselves.

"Zhu Lichang, how much did you sell it to them?" Lan Yu knew how much goods he had brought, but he didn't know the price. He couldn't ask His Majesty.

"It's cheap, only two hundred coins, about ten coins each. This is a living thing sent back from the other side of the sea.

Today, greenhouse vegetables cannot be sold at high prices in winter. There are too many greenhouses and prices are stuck. People have to eat other fresh vegetables.

Just use seafood to make money. The oysters in Bohai Bay are good in winter. They are easy to store when the weather is cold. You can send some to other provinces. "

The village manager knew the price and decided it by calculating how many days the yellow clam could live, how many people in Yingtian Mansion were willing to spend the money, and what the quantity was.

If you sell a thousand gu yellow clams, you can earn [-] guan, which is quite a lot.

The cost of a ship is not high, not counting the cost of technology provided by Hanhan, only materials and labor.
