Villager of Daming

Chapter 74
It was also noon, and Li Guan, the magistrate of Xuancheng County, took a few yamen servants to have dinner in Shuanghuang Village.

All literate people in the county were sent to each village to explain what to do if the livestock got sick, and it was best to prevent them from getting sick in advance.

He found that this is a normal village, the villagers are so stupid!I said it over and over again, but I couldn't remember it.

He missed Xiaqiu Village. People don't need to talk about it themselves. There is no problem with raising livestock and poultry.

There are also a bunch of bamboo rats and rabbits. If you are tired of eating pigs, sheep, chickens, ducks, and geese, you can change the taste.

I was raised and disabled before, eating meat in the village and sending meat home.

just now……

"Qianshi! The imperial court has an order that officials must give food and food when they go to the place. If you don't accept it, where are you trying to trap me?"

Li Zhixian told Huang Qianshi, the head of Shuanghuang Village, that he gave the other party food, he and four government servants, ten catties of rice, the kind with shells.

"The magistrate said so, I, I will keep it, you are a good official!"

After Huang Qianshi shied away twice, he took the bag with a look of embarrassment.

"It's just an ordinary official." Li Zhixian shook his head and ate.

Shuanghuang Village serves rice at noon, which is grown locally. There are two dishes, one is dried eggplant stewed with lard residue, and the other is stewed radish with crab. The radish has not been peeled.

The table next to it has only dried eggplant with lard residue and no crab.

Li Zhixian also tried his best to eat the first dish. He was afraid of crabs and didn't want to eat them.

This year, Xiaqiu Village taught others how to make crab pots. Xiaqiu Village didn’t sell any crabs they caught themselves. They ate some of them and kept the rest as drunk crabs.

The crab in Shuanghuang Village should be dead and cannot be sold, right?You guys make money selling crabs, why don't you get me some braised pork?
How hard have I worked?I’ve been here three times in your poor village, and you, the head of the village, can’t even remember. Why do you have so little literacy?
Are you not ashamed?Yichang is also the head of the village, and he can copy books by himself!

Look at the children in Xiaqiu Village, who recite and write, recite formulas, and make abacus every day according to three hundred thousand.

You have learned the simple prevention and treatment of livestock diseases, and I will be able to go to Xiaqiu Village.

Thinking this way, Li Zhixian found that the village guards in Xiaqiu Village, Hanhan, looked more pleasing to the eye than Huang Qianshi in front of him.

The four yamen servants were lucky enough to sit at the main table, but they would rather go to Xiaqiu Village to sit at the next table than to sit in the good seats in this village.

When eating in Xiaqiu Village, when will there be less than four dishes?Even for breakfast, there are a bunch of side dishes.

What's more important is the atmosphere of eating. Everyone in a village eats together, and there is no shortage of smiles on their faces.

There are two tables in Shuanghuang Village, and the other table has people with sad faces, and some people look into the bowl of crab stewed radish on this table from time to time.

Can you die if you cook one more serving of the same dish in your village?It's better to go outside and eat dry food by yourself.

Someone in Xiaqiu Village also looked around, seeing that there was not enough food, they immediately added more food.

This place is not far from Xiaqiu Village, how about riding two horses to bring some food back there?
In a bad mood, everyone ate fast, and Li Zhixian continued to tell the story after eating, even if he didn't want to.

Thinking about it again, the situation of other colleagues is similar, and the psychology is balanced again, so hurry up and teach!Why don't you live in Xiaqiu Village for two days before the Chinese New Year?
Lizhi County is not bad, but the livestock in other villages are really sick, and the officials can only follow the instructions to prescribe medicine and take care of the livestock.

……

Zhu Yuanzhang, who also ate lunch, was in a happy mood. He didn't care whether the officials were working hard or not.
Today he eats roast duck, and only the side dishes with shrimp oil sent by the village, he doesn't need anything else.

"Boss, eat more, you are tired from class." Empress Ma rolled roast duck for her son.

The education Zhu Biao received was strict, and he picked up the plate with both hands: "Mother, you eat. Dad, is the court short of medicine? There are too many medicines for livestock sickness."

Zhu Yuanzhang took a sip of the duck rack soup and waved his hands: "It's not very short. The book on veterinary treatment is very good. It contains mostly hard-to-find medicines. There are no medicinal materials such as ginseng, antler, and ganoderma."

Zhu Yuanzhang asked the people in Tai Hospital that the medicine is not expensive, if it is expensive, it is not worth giving it to livestock, and the price is higher than the livestock itself.

Some medicinal materials that are hard to find locally have alternatives, which are cheaper but have poor efficacy.

To what extent do you have to know the symptoms, properties, and effects of the medicine before you can give a prescription?
Treating animals is like this, what about people?Better medicine will be available.It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a master of Chinese medicine.

"Father, why don't you give him an iron certificate of Danshu?" Zhu Biao felt that he should be praised.

Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head slightly: "If you have something in your heart, you have it. It is better not to give it."

"Besides, we don't know the other party's name, so we can't give it directly to the village chief." Empress Ma added.

Zhu Biao seemed to have thought of something, and changed the subject: "Last time I sent a hundred prescriptions, some of which were imported. Although there are substitutes, they are not as good as the original ones. We should ask foreigners to send more to Daming."

"What my son said is right, sell more rock sugar and soap to them. The roast ducks in the restaurants of the three Shibo divisions are just like what the letter says. Foreigners love it and are willing to buy it at a high price."

Zhu Yuanzhang was very happy when he said this, earning money from foreigners, the roast duck from the palace can only be sold for [-] yuan a piece, how much is the duck?
The key is a duck, buy it and take it away, [-] renminbi, eat in a restaurant, a set meal for four, that is, add pancakes, green onions, sauce, etc., the same duck, [-] renminbi.

How does that man make money so much?Foreigners still have to eat a set meal, because there is no place to buy sauce, and the sauce of roast duck is different from that of black bean sauce.

It is equivalent to eating a meal of roast duck for three members of my family, one tael of silver.

If Guanglu Temple dares to give me a tael of silver, no, a hundred cash, I will cut them all off.

I gave it to you after I got the prescription from the village, how dare you lie to me?Do you want to earn extra money from me?
No, you get your salary, and everything else costs money.

Zhu Yuanzhang ate and thought happily. He had already felt the problem of trade surplus and deficit.

In the past, good silk and porcelain were always sold to foreigners, and those things were troublesome to make and the profits were low.

After going outside, the profit is high, and the huge price difference in the middle is all made by them.

"I don't know if he is busy, Biao'er, write to me tomorrow and ask if there is any other way to make money from foreigners.

Thinking about it, he is not short of money, and the village can't run out of money, so ask him what he wants?We will give what we have. "

Zhu Yuanzhang decided to make an exchange. Every time he changed, he would not suffer a loss, and the other party would not lose money either.

……

Zhu Wentian didn't know that Zhu Yuanzhang was playing with his own ideas, so he continued to lead people to burn glass in the afternoon.

His pursuit is single, as long as the colorless glass is fired, other colored ones are easy to handle, and when different things are added, the color will change.

They even specialize in burning glass of a special color, and then melt it with colorless glass to make colorful glassware.

For example, glass flowers, with green leaves, are heated layer by layer, and new materials are melted and shaped, and finally a glass flower with gradually changing petal colors is obtained.

Similar to the color of fireworks, adding different metal powders, the color after burning is different.
