Villager of Daming

Chapter 879 Funds favor local construction

In fact, the team is still in Fengyang, but it is not Fengyang County in the narrow sense, which is where Zhu Yuanzhang lived.

In a broad sense, Fengyang Mansion is very big, but it hasn't been repaired much so far, so it's just stuck there.

Most of the power will be used to build the imperial city of Nanjing first, and the excess power will be in the industrial zone!

Zhu Yuanzhang no longer cares about Fengyang. He is waiting for other places to be arranged and has spare money, then he can go back and repair Fengyang properly.

What was built at that time must be better than the historical one, and its purpose is naturally to help local development.

This is what Zhu Wentian told the village chief. In order to develop, Bengbu, next to Huaiyuan, was particularly backward for a period of time. If you buy something in the village, express delivery is not provided. You need to take the bus to the county seat yourself.

There are many mountains and difficult roads. To put it bluntly, the former officials were incompetent. If you meet a good local official, the development will be faster.

Zhu Wentian didn't think there was any difficulty. The imperial court attached great importance to it and the resources were skewed. It happened to be the area of ​​the Huaihe River. Guarding such a river and unable to make economic progress, the official...

It wasn't until later, as the officials changed batch after batch, that things began to gradually improve.

The entire Fengyang Mansion is rich in resources, especially medicinal materials, and with convenient water conservancy and unrestricted access by steam engines and boats, it can provide more things for the Ming Dynasty.

What's more important is that the officials of the Ming Dynasty are obedient, otherwise they will be killed!

If there are too many people killed, there are not enough officials, so people wear shackles to work. This has the advantage that if the work is done well, when the replacement official comes, he will not be beheaded, but will be exiled.

It's absolutely impossible not to kill him. It seems that he made a lot of money and only served a few years. Moreover, everyone made money. It was bad luck that he was caught and he was on the wrong team. It was not really because of corruption.

That's it. If the local government doesn't give money, it won't be able to develop. If it gives money, it will be greedy. Even if it doesn't give money, it will be greedy if it sells the subsequent fiscal revenue and borrows money.

"Where should we go next?" Zhu Rui was still young. Anyway, he was happy and began to think about the route.

"Your Highness, go to Mengcheng, then to Bozhou, then to Shangqiu, then to Kaifeng and Luoyang.

This time we will not go to Baofeng County, where coal is produced. Ruzhou has Ru porcelain, and there are many in His Highness's mansion.

His Highness likes to see the color of the blue sky, so he specially burned it for delivery. Your Highness should not sell it for takeout, as it will affect the market. "

The leader will introduce the route. Unlike last time, we had to visit the place where magnesium sulfate heptahydrate is produced.

That's Pingdingshan, where there is a large coal mine. By the way, Ru porcelain was fired again. It is currently selling well and the output is controlled. It is also sold within the Ming Dynasty and exported.

Whether something is valuable or not depends on how much you cherish it. If you add publicity and say how beautiful this Ru porcelain is, it will be accepted by others.

"It's not sold, and we are not short of money. We also have a partnership business! I used to find it difficult to make money, so I relied on my father to provide money to support the people in the house.

The queen mother will also provide some subsidies, mainly because we have no money, and everyone has no money, so we can’t give too much, so we will give less to others.

Since we came from the village, we don’t have to worry about money. I heard everyone said that Luoshui in Luoyang cooperates with merchants to weave, can you see it? "

Zhu Yu talked about money very casually. If he had money, Xiaqiu Village would give him 10% of the profits. That was enough.

When he was young, he liked the sunny weather and looked at the sky, which was blue. He burned straw to kill insects and germs, and turned it into fertilizer by the way, without polluting the air.

Just like the rising smoke in Nanjing in the morning, when the sun rises and people finish their meal, the sky is still blue and the cooking smoke seems to have disappeared.

Just like the Huaihe River now, the water is clear and reflects the flowing clouds in the sky. Sitting there and watching, you can be in a daze for a long time and feel relaxed.

Everyone in the team relaxed, including the big animals. They were very tired from carrying more than 200 kilograms of stuff on the road.    If it weren’t for the good food, I really couldn’t hold on, how could I do this every day?

Horses that were so tired that they had to sleep standing up in unfamiliar surroundings lay down so that they could better recover their strength.

Of course, the horse is willing to lie down only if it feels safe, otherwise it would rather stand and die from exhaustion and have to remain vigilant.

Most of the people were resting, but a few were busy riding horses. They were shopping and wanted to have a barbecue today.

Naturally, river fresh food is indispensable next to the Huaihe River. There are many river mussels here, and there are people who specialize in pearl cultivation, waiting for the harvest in two years.

Eating old river mussels shows the effectiveness of the pressure cooker. No one will eat the raw ones anyway, even if they are paid, for fear of death.

There is Tushan Mountain here, which is suitable for raising goats, so there is no shortage of mutton. It is also next to the river, and duck and goose meat can also be eaten on skewers.

Cows depend on luck and are obviously not suitable for everyone to eat. Just don't want them. Some old cows need to be killed. Buy them and process them. You can eat them later depending on how you eat them. You won't use them today.

……

Amidst the hum of steam generators, the team turned on the lights at the simple camp by the river.

Everyone is tired. In the current place, there is no need to dig trenches, set up horses, or put up tents as we did during the war.

There is no way for the enemy to cause harm. If we encounter one, the entire opponent's army will be wiped out. There is nothing we can do. The weapons are good and the two sides are not equal.

"We have finally discovered that the worst thing to bring in the team is wine. It is heavy and there are many people who drink too much. One person can drink several kilograms at a time."

Zhu Di, who didn't talk much along the way, took a sip of beer, smiled, and talked about the drinking problem.

"Fourth brother, we drink beer and they drink liquor. Two taels of liquor is enough."

Zhu Ruxu was fourteen years old. He also drank beer. He was underage. He usually drank little. One cup was about 200 milliliters, so he wouldn't drink it.

Because this beer is a craft beer, it has a high alcohol content and a high malt content. The alcohol content is seven and the malt content is eighteen.

When drinking this kind of beer, you should deliberately froth it, because the froth tastes good and sweet, like ice cream.

If it were replaced by the cheap blended beer from Zhu Wentian's time, when pouring the beer, he would try to stick the mouth of the bottle to the mouth of the cup to avoid foaming and making it unpalatable.

The beer and good old rice wine in the team are specially prepared for a few people. The others drink white wine. The white wine is also made from pure grains. After cellaring, the lees smell is smaller and the alcohol content is maintained at about 60 degrees.

This kind of wine will make you feel confused after just two ounces of it, but it won't cause any problems. It usually only affects the balance of the cerebellum.

Of course, it also depends on the physical constitution. The guards are fine. They eat a lot of meat, eat a lot, and have a strong ability to decompose alcohol.

The maids and eunuchs who are not on duty today also drink. They bring small wine cups. Each person can drink two cups. The wine cup costs three qian.

"Your Highness King Yan, there are wines being sold on the road. After the people have more food, some people will make wine. You will know when your Highness arrives in Beiping Province."

As the chief said, he put the mutton skewers on the plate in front of Zhu Di without sprinkling any seasonings. Those who needed to eat them could dip the dry seasonings themselves.

If the meat is grilled on a grate, dip it in the sauce, which is not provided today.
