Villager of Daming

Chapter 72 Drought Firmly Believes When Digging a Well (Part [-])
When the two met the prince, Zhu Biao had just finished a class.

The person who heard the report said that the two had important matters, and Zhu Biao didn't dare to delay, so he called over to ask.

"Your Highness, letter." Zhu Taisan took out the letter with a lacquer seal and handed it up with both hands.

Zhu Biao was taken aback for a moment, and then hurriedly received it. First, he carefully checked the envelope and lacquer seal of the letter, took out the same seal and put it on top. It was indeed the one for Xiaqiu Village.

Someone nearby lit a candle, and Zhu Biao baked the lacquer seal on it, opened the letter, and took out a note from it, which was a note.

He stared at the words on the note, his eyes widened, and it read: Next year, that is, the fourth year of Hongwu, Shaanxi, Henan, Shanxi and Zhili Changzhou, Linhao, Beiping, Hejian, and Yongping will be dry.

His hands were shaking, he swallowed, took a deep breath, and after a dozen breaths, he stabilized.

Don't worry, next year, there will be an earthquake soon, why are there so many droughts next year?They are all places where wheat is grown.

"Your Highness, there is this." Mrs. Zhu handed over the book and the title book. He was very curious about what was written on the note, but he didn't dare to read it.

Zhu Biao put the note back into the envelope, put it in his arms, and read the question book again.

The content in the question book is the usefulness of the book, how to raise livestock well, what diseases livestock have, preventive measures in advance and how to treat diseases.

The county has already copied a copy and sent it to the prefecture. The Ningguo prefecture will soon start sending people to the villages and markets to teach.

Zhu Biao put down the test book, read again, and was treated by a veterinarian.

He remembered Sanhuang plus Baisan, flipped through the book, there was a table of contents, corresponding to the same disease, and when he turned to that page, there was indeed this prescription.

"Treasures handed down from ancient times! This book will save my Ming Dynasty countless livestock from dying every year. With the addition of silage, even if the grass in the north is dry in winter, it will also keep the cattle and sheep from losing weight."

Zhu Biao commented, took his things with him, and was about to find his father, but after walking a few steps, he stopped: "Is there anything to eat?"

"Return to Your Highness, yes, old duck soup and steamed buns, [-] servings, delicious!" Zhu Taisan clicked his mouth as he said.

"Okay, share one point, and send the rest to the harem."

Zhu Biao didn't think about giving it to his subordinates again, you have already eaten it in the village.

What's more, you are usually in the village, so make sure you don't eat less, let's have something else for lunch today!
……

When Zhu Biao saw Queen Ma, Zhu Yuanzhang hadn't left work yet, and the boat was fast today, using a special express post flag.

Other ships that can take the initiative to dodge after seeing it must dodge, and those that cannot take the initiative to dodge should try to keep their positions as far as possible, so that the express ship can judge easily.

At this time, there are many boats on the river and into the river. After the autumn harvest, the land tax is handed over, and at the end of the year, things are transported to Nanjing for sale.

"Biao'er is here, you have worked hard!" Queen Ma was happy to see her eldest son.

"Study is not hard, mother. The village sent duck soup and steamed buns, as well as a medical book on livestock management, and a painted letter about the drought in many places next year."

Zhu Biao put the title book, medical books, and letters on the table. The old duck soup needs to be heated, and it is served in a casserole, which was sent by the palace.

When the village delivered food, he sometimes brought utensils. Zhu Yuanzhang was afraid that the village would not have enough, and the village would have to go around to buy them, so he just gave them away. The tableware in the palace is good.

Empress Ma ignored the old duck soup and medical books, took the letter first, and took it out to read: "Just a piece of paper? Why are there so many places drought? God is not open!"

She didn't even doubt whether what was written on the note was true. Xiaqiu Village drilled a well last year when the weather was good and the weather was good, and it was said to be drought with other villages.

This year was really dry, Chong Badu went to the suburban altar to step on the Seven Stars.

Obviously, an expert can read the sky, much better than Qin Tianjian.

"I don't know how to deal with it. There is a variety of winter wheat over there. There will be a drought next year and poor harvests in spring and summer. Will we be able to dig a well in time?"

Zhu Biao was distressed, knowing that there will be a drought next year, what should he do?Four wells were drilled in Xiaqiu Village, and the villagers were obedient.

Change to people from other places and tell them that there will be a drought. They don't believe it, and it will be too late when there is a drought.

"I'll make a stir-fry dish with cucumber and eggs. Your father likes vinegar radish skin. Mix one."

Empress Ma couldn't think of a good idea for a while, so she simply cooked the dishes first, which would save trouble today, or she would have to fry two more dishes.

Unless you are really tired, let the Guanglu Temple do it. How can they do it better than yourself?Chonghachi likes to eat what he makes.

When the old duck soup in the casserole was hot, Zhu Yuanzhang arrived home, and Empress Ma helped change clothes.

"I heard on the way that Xiaqiu Village sent old duck soup and steamed buns. Sister, is there anything bothering you?"

Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile, and suddenly found that his mother-in-law was frowning, and then looked at the eldest son standing there, with the same sad expression.

Empress Ma waited for him to wash his hands, sat down at the table, and said: "The man has a letter, seal it with lacquer, and here it is."

"What happened?" Zhu Yuanzhang stopped laughing, took the letter and read it, a note, and closed his eyes after reading it.

After a while he opened his eyes: "Dig the well, the yamen organized manpower to dig the well, and called Su Ri Namu, the supervisor of the Qin Tianjian, um! Don't be afraid after eating!"

Zhu Yuanzhang said that Su Ri Namu was a Huihui person. This year, the Qin Tianjian before he walked the Seven Star Step was called Hui Sitianjian.

In previous dynasties, there were also Muslims in relevant positions. They were good at astronomy and had Muslim calendars.

There was a drought, and returning to Sitianjian did not help at all. As a result, the No. 13 days after he finished his walk, he changed his return to Sitianjian to Qin Tianjian, and the supervisor was changed to the current one.

As soon as the lid of the casserole was opened, the aroma came out. Zhu Yuanzhang heard it and said, "The incense from Guanglu Temple is better than that man. How come the steamed buns in Xiaqiu Village are whiter than those in the palace?"

Empress Ma couldn't help laughing. In fact, the steamed buns are similar, and the flour in the palace is white. Chongba just thinks that the village is good.

After the meal was happily finished, Su Ri Namu of Qin Tianjian was called in, and after paying his respects, His Majesty asked, "Where will there be droughts next year?"

Surinamu: "..."

Where to look here?If you ask whether there will be rain tomorrow, you can guess based on experience, such as clouds and wind, and directly ask about the drought next year, who can know?
"Chen, I don't know." Su Ri Namu told the truth.

"Go back to Qintianjian and ask other people. If anyone knows, I will reward you." Zhu Yuanzhang didn't make things difficult for the other party, and asked him to go back and find someone.

Su Ri Namu returned to Qin Tianjian full of doubts, and told his subordinates the news, who could see that, His Majesty would benefit.

After everyone listened to it, they immediately left it behind. If we can't get this reward, do we think we are gods?With that ability, can I stay here?

……

In Xiaqiu Village, Zhu Wentian didn't have that much trouble, he followed the head of the village to see Li Zhixian and others off and sent them to the entrance of the village.

Lizhi County was about to go back, and returned to the county to take the books that others had copied, and then eliminated 21 villages other than Xiaqiu Village.

He had to come to teach him how to raise livestock in the village, simple and common ones.

Others can only wait for the villagers' livestock to get sick and find that the symptoms do not match, or it is difficult to judge, and ask someone at the county government office.

The villagers are basically illiterate, so it is very difficult for them to memorize the whole book!
The officials drove away in two cars, which contained gifts from the village, food, soap, soap, and glycerin for wiping lips and hands in dry and cold winter.
