Villager of Daming

Chapter 737 Welfare forced talk about Beidi

The women and children in the palace got the news early in the morning and ran to Xiaqiu Village to have breakfast.

Zhu Yuanzhang did not have many children, which were different from those in history. There were more children.

Zhu Xiongying is not the youngest, he is just junior.

They all have small arms, legs and big heads, not to mention smaller than him. They are all dressed like balls and sway from side to side when walking, almost like penguins.

The same goes for the people in Xiaqiu Village. They get together and communicate in various languages.

Zhu Yuanzhang brought all the civil and military officials over to join in the fun. It was the twelfth lunar month, there were few official duties, all the land taxes that should be paid had been paid, and the ice in the north was two feet thick.

The biggest thing was to send people and boats along with other auxiliary equipment to blow up the rocks on the Yellow and Yangtze rivers. Then there were the officials in the Jiangnan region who wrote that they wanted to dredge up silt and build embankments. They wanted to use tax money to do it directly.

Officials were forced to go to work early. Except for the court meetings on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month, they were not required to go to work in the imperial city at dawn.

When an official arrives, he or she has breakfast. The official has a follower. The official eats a portion of breakfast, and the follower brings back a bunch of breakfast for the official's family.

Officials can come late if they want, but since there is no food, they can only eat at home and the family will cook.

The same goes for when you want to leave early at night. Wait until the time comes and go home with a food box, otherwise go back and cook it yourself.

In order to get stuttering food for the family, the officials came early and left when it was almost dark in the afternoon.

If someone is on duty, the palace will send someone to deliver meals to his home and treat him well.

Young children go to bed after eating. They need a lot of sleep to grow their bodies and get some sunshine to replenish calcium.

Children who can wear roller skates can wear skates. Specially made high-top skate shoes are provided for them. The upper inch of the ankle is fully covered with bamboo rat hair inside, and the shoelaces are tied with sticky cloth.

The skate blade is directly used on the road speed skating blade. It is not a figure blade with teeth on the front, or a ball blade with two curved ends, nor is it a short track speed skating blade with a curved blade.

Children have already practiced when they were learning to pulley. Now when they get on the ice, they find something is wrong and cannot stand. They quickly bend their knees, spread their feet slightly, move their center of gravity forward, and open their little arms at both sides of the body as they did when they first learned to pulley. side.

"They originally used a double-row windlass, but replaced it with a single-row blade. It's good if it can stand."

Zhu Biao understood the situation. He didn't go roller skating with Lin Qian, but changed knives with Lin Yi. Oops!Much difference.

Fortunately, the little guys have the basics of pulleys, and at least they know how to use strength. After standing for a while and getting familiar with the feeling on their feet, they can slide slowly.

Each of them wore a protective hat on their head to prevent them from falling backward and hitting the back of their heads, including Zhu Biao, who skated very skillfully.

On the other hand, the older children in Xiaqiu Village don't wear them and follow Brother Hanhan to take care of the younger ones.

"There was Bingxi in the former Song Dynasty, as well as in Peiping in the former Yuan Dynasty. The weather in Yingtian Mansion is not cold enough, so only the children in the palace and the village can skate."

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the ice and wanted to try it. He slipped on the pulley and put on all the equipment.

Nowadays, children don’t wear other equipment, only helmets.

"Your Majesty, skating is entertainment, and skiing can only be used in war. In the hilly areas of the north and northeast, horses cannot outrun people.

When soldiers put on skis, they can fly back and forth in the winter snow. Where the snow is up to their waists, it is difficult for men and horses to move even an inch.

Using skis and ski poles, you can avoid falling into the snow when going uphill, and pass by quickly when going downhill. "

The captain stood next to Zhu Yuanzhang wearing skates. He knew how to skate, and he did not skate much with Lin.

"Don't we have a snowmobile with a steam engine? When Dingchen led the team back, he said that the best way to go is the section with heavy snow on the grassland." Zhu Yuanzhang knew that skiing is easy to use, but the best thing to use is a snowmobile. The equipment of Dingliao Duwei includes new breech-loading rifles.

There is no time left to take care of the Jurchens at the moment. We will wait until Yunnan is conquered.

"Are there any skates for us? Let's put on a helmet and go up there. We are also people who can fight!" Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to play.

"Your Majesty, wait a moment!" The captain turned around and slipped away, then slipped back in less than a minute with a new pair of skates in his hand.

A maid came over to take off Zhu Yuanzhang's shoes. Zhu Yuanzhang sat on a stool and kicked off his soft leather shoes with his feet, revealing his white cotton socks.

The chief helped him put on his skates and tie his shoes, while Zhu Yuanzhang put on a helmet himself.

After putting it on, he stood up and felt the strength of his feet: "It's not as wide as the pulleys, and the ankles always tilt to both sides."

"Your Majesty stood for a while, then stomped around in circles and got used to the skates." The chief briefly explained the technique.

"It's done!" Zhu Yuanzhang stood firm, raised his leg little by little and stomped down. He couldn't think about lifting it, because the force exerted was different.

Just like raising a leg on a flat ground, if you want to lift one leg, you need to maintain balance first. If you lift it slowly and stamp it down, you will not consider balance, but push it down slowly.

While stomping the feet and adjusting the angle, the person will slowly turn in circles on the ice, change the direction and then turn again. After turning in this way for a few times, you will find that you can use more force, and you can take the next step and skate forward.

"Okay, look, we can slip forward, ah! Oops!" Zhu Yuanzhang's athletic ability is still good and he can slide.

The key is that he listens to the advice, his knees are never straight, his body will not fall backwards, and he can easily control his center of gravity.

If no one is around to help him, he will use the strength of the support instead of adjusting his own balance. The more he is supported, the easier he will fall.

All the civil and military officials looked at it and said, "The military attache doesn't care. Your Majesty will have no problem."

The civil servants were worried, fearing that His Majesty would fall.

Immediately afterwards, I went to play with Lin's generals. They also practiced there using free natural ice.

If His Majesty can't skate, he will pretend that he can't skate either. If His Majesty can skate, they can play along.

After a while, the sleeping children woke up one after another and were taken to the ice rink. They took an ice car and had others pull the rope. They could not use a drill to prick the ice. Every time they dug into the ice, they would make a hole in the ice and the skater would be thrown to death.

They are too young to use the ice drill themselves, and the older ones can skate. The ice cart is not of much use, just let them sit on it now.

Zhu Yuanzhang skated for a while. Because he always had to control his balance, his muscles were extremely tense. He was sweating from exhaustion. He slowly stopped and was helped by the palace maid to sit on a chair.

"Look, it's going to melt at noon, and it's not as good as in the north." Zhu Yuanzhang felt that the children of the common people had lost one thing of fun.

"Your Majesty, you can specially build a field, use roller skates, and practice with it first. When it suddenly gets cold one day and the lake freezes, then you can pour ice outside and use it. If the lake doesn't work, you will fall in.

In fact, a shed has been set up above to block the sun, and curtains are pulled around to block the wind. It is also possible to keep the ice until the evening, and then... continue to pour ice at night, and it needs to be poured once a day. "

The manager didn't have any good ideas. Hanhan said that it is very difficult to make artificial ice artificially. If you have that technology, you can have a refrigerator. Wouldn't it be better to sell iced drinks in summer?

At the same time, there is no need for fans and ice cubes in summer, as there is direct cooling equipment.

The key lies in the air compressor. Build it first before you can think about other things.
