Villager of Daming

Chapter 653 I would rather fly than reach the shore

After Zhu Yuanzhang finished speaking, he looked at the chief, who began to sweat.

Not to mention him, Zhu Wentian also had a toothache while listening, building the Yangtze River Bridge?Is it built in Nanjing?
There is no need for those in Wuhan!There are few people there, and they are preparing for mechanized farming!
The key is not to do this!How was the Nanjing Bridge built?From project establishment to final delivery, it took 13 years, you know this.

It was Lao Mao who helped Wuhan in the first place. If no one helps, it will never be repaired.

The Yangtze River is not the Yellow River. The Yellow River can have dry seasons. What is the dry season of the Yangtze River?There is no dam up there to hold back the water.

You have to carry out deep-water pier casting against the surging river water. Are you kidding me?
When it comes to building a bridge over the Yellow River, how can we put our efforts into it? To what extent did domestic technology develop when the Yangtze River Bridge was built?Anyway, smelting oil is very easy.

For example, why is clam oil so cheap?In fact, the cost is very high, but petrolatum, that is, petroleum jelly and paraffin, are by-products of petroleum refining.

It's a waste to just throw it there. It's better to make clam oil and spread it on everyone, which can also collect currency.We can’t even supply clam oil now, so why should we build the Nanjing Yangtze River Bridge?

How about we change it and get you a hot air balloon. With it, if you want a bridge, I can fly over it.

At least the hot air balloon is not difficult. The silk is coated with glue and tung oil, and the blowtorch is sprayed upward. Alcohol is good.

The principle is based on the Kongming Lantern. This one is large and allows people to fly with it.

"Your Majesty, this bridge! It's not possible for the moment, mainly because of some..." The commander saw Hanhan's expression and knew it couldn't be done.

"Forget it! Let's transport it back and forth by boat! Anyway, it's not far between the two sides. Let's repair the pier."

Zhu Yuanzhang was a little disappointed. He thought that an expert could do anything!It seems that basic industries need to be developed.

But he was not discouraged. The village chief said that it was not possible for the time being, but that did not mean that it would not be possible in the future.

Just like a gun, it needs to come little by little. When the train is not available, the track comes out first. The big boy pedals on the car every day to get food for the princess.

Nowadays, small trains run everywhere, and harvesters carried by steam engines can harvest many crops in a day.

Everyone moved forward and continued shopping. Zhu Wentian made up his mind to build a hot air balloon. Isn't something that can fly better than a bridge?
For example, we don’t care about repairing the bridge across the Qiongzhou Strait. It’s too simple, so we’ll just fly it.

Eh?Can the ferry be loaded onto the train and transported there?This was what Nanjing did before. Forget it, how could there be so much to transport?
Zhu Wentian vetoed the necessity of building the bridge. How much would it cost to build that bridge?With all that money, what can't you do?
Let’s go back and build a hot air balloon to scare you to death. Let’s see who dares to question the ability of the master of Xiaqiu Village?
Zhu Yuanzhang walked around and returned to the village before dark. The bridge he took was still in the same position, but the bridge was changed. This bridge was easy to repair.

The original wooden bridge was changed to reinforced concrete because it needed to be transported into the site and the wooden bridge could not withstand it.

It is estimated that Zhu Yuanzhang thought of building the Yangtze River Bridge after seeing this bridge.

Zhu Wentian discovered the situation, and Hu Weiyong seemed to be in a good mood. The bad guy, seeing that Xiaqiu Village can't build the Yangtze River Bridge, you think you can do it, right?
"The place was not given for free. It is well-kept and well-organized. It's a pity that there is only one Xiaqiu Village in Ming Dynasty. Well...it's a good thing that there is only one Xiaqiu Village."

Zhu Yuanzhang returned to the village, took a hot bath, changed his clothes, and dried his hair. When he felt refreshed, he sighed and corrected himself in an instant.

Empress Ma helped organize the clothes: "I think we will be very busy in the past two years. Just get over it and we can't keep up with the production.

When factories should be built, factories should be built. Look at the factories built by Zan'er and Xiaqiu Village on the south bank of the Qinhuai River.

Just making one sauce requires hundreds of people, and they make all the pickles and soy sauce.

Only they dare to recruit female workers directly and put a group of women to work together. It is not easy for women to make money in public. "

"Build it, build it when you get back. We can't give Zhu Yi the official position and title now. We can wait until our grown-up son sits on our chair and let him give it to him.

All the children in Xiaqiu Village are pretty good. If it were any other child, we would just throw them into the local government office and become the chief registrar or county magistrate.These are all our eldest son, keep them, keep them all for him, grow up quickly, and then I will take you to farm and become the emperor. We don’t want to wait for your eldest son to succeed to the throne. "

Zhu Yuanzhang talked about his plans. He wanted to give the position to his son as soon as possible, but his son was not good enough.

"What kind of field do you want to go to? Where can I dare to plant it for you? Let's go and eat!" Queen Ma arranged Zhu Yuanzhang's clothes.

"Go to Xiaqiu Village! There are fields in Xiaqiu Village. We gave them a field in a county in Ming Dynasty, and they took care of it, so we walked around and farmed.

If we can't bear to give it to others, isn't that a fiefdom?Land annexation!Something will go wrong.

We are not afraid of them. They have ways to make money. If you give them the land, they will not only not harm the Ming Dynasty, but they can also make good use of it to help our Ming Dynasty. "

As Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma were walking, they said that his emperor was different from other emperors in that he valued etiquette but did not stick to trivial matters.

During the morning court, he was very serious and had to explain clearly everything the officials shouted.

After the serious part passed, he became less particular, especially when he went to Xiaqiu Village to eat, he was very casual.

Otherwise, if the harem and children all go to Xiaqiu Village, the people in Xiaqiu Village will kneel and kowtow all day long?

It’s time for people to move back in and stop playing!The built gardens are no longer needed.

When everyone arrived at the restaurant, the moon had not risen yet. It would take another two-quarters of an hour to see it, and it would also be full.

Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to drink two cups of medicated wine. He was tired from walking a lot during the day. Drinking alcohol would promote metabolism.

Today there is a cocoon. The big green tussah worm spins silk, wraps itself up, and turns into a cocoon inside.

This was brought back by the previous ship and was in Jiulian City.

That place was Dandong when Zhu Wentian was there, and tussahs accounted for a large proportion. However, it was not Dandong before, but other cities. Dandong later specialized in guiding and assisting tussahs.

A lot of tussah silkworms are exported. Some people in foreign countries like to eat tussah silkworm cocoons, such as Japanese pirates.

Tussah silkworms are bigger and have several twists than mulberry silkworms. The silk is not as fine as mulberry silkworms, but it is the best filling.

When they were brought in, they were wrapped in cocoons. When the outer cocoons were cut, the pupae inside would move.

If you don't cut it open and throw it into a warehouse in the northeast, it will freeze to more than 30 degrees below zero. In the spring of next year, the tussah silkworm's pupa will bite open the cocoon and turn into a big butterfly, which is particularly beautiful.

Of course, it can also be eaten. Generally, it needs to be roasted to remove the outer layer of velvet. Silkworm moth is a great supplement.

Anyway, many people cannot accept this thing. You can eat it when you are a bug, you can still eat it when you turn into a pupa, and you can continue to eat it after growing wings.

Mainly eating, unlike silkworms who mainly reel silk.

In the Ming Dynasty, technology was limited. Either you ate dead pupae and then reeled out complete silk, or you ate live pupae and the silk was incomplete.

First scald the cocoon with boiling water and remove the silk, then the pupa inside will die.

If the pupa is alive, just cut the cocoon. The pupa is alive, but the cocoon shell is damaged. How to continue reeling?The thread will break.
