Villager of Daming

Chapter 876 The team travels north

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. As long as we work hard, every village will have a telephone in the future. At that time, a call would cost two cents per minute. It's a long way. People in Yunnan would charge ten cents per minute to call His Majesty in Nanjing."

The director had no way of knowing what was going to happen in the future. He only heard Hanhan say that when the carrier was built, he would be able to make calls better.

"When people call us, it's definitely a complaint. We don't want any money. If we leave the day after tomorrow, the days have passed?"

Zhu Yuanzhang finally didn't care about the phone call. He was very entangled about it. As soon as the Xiaqiu Village team left, the expert promised to hide somewhere and follow them.

Once the master left, the technology improvement rate in Xiaqiu Village slowed down, and others learned according to the knowledge left by the master.

It's not okay for the master not to follow the team. Even if they send a few books to the officials and send soldiers to the villages to carry out various activities, their abilities are much worse than the master.

The areas where Xi'an, Taiyuan, and Peiping are located produce wheat, and rice can be grown in some places. Jiangnan is unwilling to grow wheat because it has a lot of water, and there are no three or two crops a year, so crop rotation is the only option.

People in the south of the Yangtze River also want to eat noodles, especially the people in Yingtianfu. They like to make noodles very much, so they must be transported from the north of the Yangtze River.

Of course, now Ningguo Mansion, Taiping Mansion, and Yingtian Mansion are also planting, following the rotation of other crops.

In this case, experts and teams need to go to the local area to see the situation on the spot and then make a reasonable plan. Taiyuan Prefecture and its surroundings have little farmland and a large population, making it difficult to handle.

"Your Majesty, I have already calculated it. In fact, there is no need to calculate it. It doesn't matter which day I leave. It depends on how prepared I am."

The head of the village replied that he didn't want to leave. The Jin King's fiefdom was indeed not good. The key was to go to Ding Liao Duwei. It was a good place. There was iron, coal, and oil. Of course, the oil was not mined. Hanhan said it was too difficult. .

Hanhan over there said that there is a diamond mine with very large reserves. It is open-air. You can mine it at will and use the selected ones as jewelry or general tools.

For example, sandpaper, angle grinder sand, and saw blades can be used with an angle grinder if there is electricity. Craftsmen like it very much.

"Speaker, do you have any last words to say?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked with a look of reluctance as he took a sip of wine.

"Your Majesty, we are not going to die, we are coming back! Telegraph and communication on the way."

The chief is scared, what should I say? It was like parting after life and death, and came back to celebrate the New Year.

"Yes, there is a telegram. It just so happens that our fleet can be used. You go, let them go elsewhere first, and then Dingliao Duwei will pick you up to cross the sea and go home.

Let the other large steam engine ships go outside to find and exchange things for us, and take a look at the local customs and customs everywhere.

We will do good business with the barbarians, your beautiful glass, and other things. We plan to earn 30 million yuan this year. "

Zhu Yuanzhang thought that a group of people would come back at the end of the year and he would have to work hard to make money for a year.

As the Yi people obtained more and more things from the Ming Dynasty, they contacted more and more places. Then they built wooden boats and tried their best to go to the Ming Dynasty along the seashore.

There were people from Sichuan who came overland and traded horses for tea or something.

Bei Yuan was defeated and able to follow the previous Silk Road again.

As long as the people don't act recklessly and the court makes arrangements, foreign trade can be carried out. The people are not allowed to participate directly and can be carried out indirectly.

To prevent the price of Ming products from being unstable, people running away, smuggling, etc. at the same time.

The common people don't know how important the profits from foreign trade are. Anyway, if they can exchange tea for whatever they can, they will exchange it if there are multiple ways out.

The Ming Dynasty court, no, the palace will not raise prices. What little the people earn will cost Ming Dynasty a lot.

However, the common people could grow tea and then sell it to the court. The court would be responsible for exchanging it and paying the common people a higher price.

But we can’t delay farming. When the Ming Dynasty is no longer short of food, we can arrange separate planting of cash crops.

When the commander heard the number, he nodded: "Your Majesty has this goal. Let's move towards the goal."

He didn't say it to death, what if he didn't achieve it! It feels hard.

There was not much money in the palace in the past few years, and the imperial court's fiscal revenue was only more than 3 million guan in money. The court kept providing more, and made 30 million guan from foreign trade? Those things must be available outside and can be transported here. It is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice.

……

Zhu Yuanzhang stayed in Xiaqiu Village for two days. Two days later in the morning, he took his officials to see him off in Xiaqiu Village.

The four princes Zhu Xi, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di, and Zhu Xi each brought three thousand guards, plus two thousand craftsmen, palace maids, eunuchs, and imperial doctors, forming a team of fifteen thousand people and crossed the river directly through Xuanwu Lake.

The waterway is followed by small steam boats, which are flexible and can be navigated even in shallower rivers, but the passing ability is relatively strong.

When we get to the other side, we look for livestock, mules and horses. We change them once at a breeding transfer station, and then we raise the ones we had in the past and then send them back to their original place.

The guards all wear camouflage uniforms and leather boots, even in hot weather.

When Zhu Wentian was there, was the summer in Sanya hot? The local army wears them, while others wear vests, large trousers, and sandals. The army's leather boots, long trousers, and at most half sleeves on the upper body.

Then the guard's hair was shaved and turned into a hairy one. Long hair would be too much of a hindrance and would make him suffer from heat stroke.

It’s impossible to say that you won’t get hot once you get used to it. Otherwise, women wouldn’t wear high braids in summer.

Palace maids and eunuchs are normal. They need to maintain a special image. They must have excellent physical fitness, skills, appearance, and IQ to join the team. Emotional intelligence does not need to be considered. Those with low emotional intelligence cannot survive in the palace.

What's more important is loyalty. We can't kill the prince, and the people in Xiaqiu Village can't be spared either.

The craftsmen carry tools and carry about 20 kilograms of weight.

The palace maids and eunuchs held small revolver pistols, which fired copper-cased and copper-tipped bullets.

The guards carry rifles, the one with water and water, an extra AK for every ten people, a grenade launcher for every twenty people, a small mortar for every fifty people, and grenades on them.

These equipment are not for finding Bei Yuan. God knows where the remaining people of Bei Yuan have gone.

After that, we have to go to Ding Liao Duwei, the northeastern region, where there are Jurchens, and we are targeting them. We can practice on the way and use them for hunting.

When we are about to leave for Ding Liao Duwei, the ship will go over to supply ammunition, cans and other supplies.

There are cans, dried meat, dried fruits and other things in the team, and there are many seasonings for cooking.

It is relatively easy for imperial doctors and people in Xiaqiu Village to maintain their physical strength and provide help to injured and sick people at any time.

Zhu Yuanzhang and others kept sending people to Xuanwu Lake, watching the shadow of the boat gradually disappear, and stood on the shore without moving for a long time.

"Chongba, come back!" After waiting for a while, Queen Ma called to Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Hey! Yichang is out. Let's eat here and chat with less people."

Zhu Yuanzhang muttered and turned around, using these words to cover up his other emotions.

The ministers had no other ideas. Anyway, whether they could come or not depended on whether His Majesty called him or not.

Zhu Yuanzhang went back to the arrow tower directly. He hadn't eaten yet! I couldn't eat it anymore, so I just had it for lunch.

"Father, the production of thermos bottles has increased." Zhu Biao watched the palace maid pour hot water into the thermos bottles to make tea, and thought of something. The production volume has increased and it can be sold.

In the past, thermos bottles were only used in the palace and Xiaqiu Village. Palace maids and eunuchs liked them the most, and they delivered things promptly.

They put soup and other things directly into thermos bottles. Hot water is not needed. There is a boiler that supplies hot water 24 hours a day, but soup is not good.
