Villager of Daming

Chapter 99 Open Sea Questions

'The remnants of the rebel army fled to the outer islands, and every time the unwilling people went ashore to burn their houses and fields, it was hard to find the Japanese pirates.

The northern soldiers expanded their profile and Timur ran across the desert, the Ming Dynasty was established at the beginning, the navy did not continue, there was no strong enemy outside, internal defects, money and food were abundant, why did he act? '

Congratulations from the crown prince, congratulations, the key things must not be forgotten, write a letter to explain why the sea is banned.

The Jianshui army spends too much money, and there are no enemies outside, so you can't fight Japanese pirates and spend a lot of money to raise one, right?

The situation is such a situation, the problem is such a problem, if you want to open the sea, you have to tell me what to do.

The village chief brought Hanhan into the house to show him, Zhu Wentian blinked: "Wrong, wrong, banned, uh... When did I say open the sea? Misunderstanding, I want the Ming officials to take the initiative to go outside to buy and sell things.

Yi people come to buy and sell goods, and make a lot of difference in the middle, we go out by ourselves, the money is all ours, what kind of sea?

Monopoly is the most profitable, so let the people participate, they have a lot of thoughts, and they don't necessarily have to cheat their own people when they go out! "

Zhu Wentian shared his thoughts with the head of the village, the sea ban is no problem, the key is to ban others, not even the imperial court!
"What about the boat? How long does it take to train a navy? How long does it take to build a boat? Where does the good wood come from?" The chief also had a judgment.

"Wood? There is wood in the repair, uh!" Zhu Wentian looked at the chief, and then the two of them said together: "Hey hey hey!"

"Shipbuilding is actually quite fast. If it is built, it will be there, and if it is not built, it will never be.

The bamboo fungus I planted can only be harvested for the first time this summer, and then planted on a large scale.

If I felt that two years was too long last year, where would I collect the seeds this year?

Livestock in the village, especially large ones, can only double in size after a few years.

The imperial court can be built for many years, the imperial mausoleum can be built for many years, but the navy can't? "

Zhu Wentian felt that the Central Capital should not be repaired, it was a waste of money and people, and finally stopped, killing many people.

I will repair it slowly when I have more money in the future!Only when the Great Ming Navy came out, could he freely go outside and make a lot of money.

The Lichang sighed: "It's all about money, how do you reply to the letter?"

"I'll think about it, and I'll talk about it tomorrow." Zhu Wentian frowned.

The officials who were outside to see the new houses did not worry, five of which were built for them.

In the future, when they work in the village, their subordinates can live in other rooms and wait for greetings at any time.

The villagers are installing glass on the windows after lunch. For square windows, there are six grids for large windows and four grids for small windows, which are affected by the quality of the glass.

A large piece of intact glass will shatter when shaken, and the smaller one is stronger. It is fixed on one side with small nails, and there is a little more glass frame on the other side, which can be stuck.

After nailing, apply glass putty, level it with a putty knife, and it will be firm after it dries.

The villagers were very excited, the glass windows were so bright that they could see outside without opening them.

The officials were very jealous, and those who wanted to replace the windows of the yamen with glass did not dare, so they had to plan to continue to repair the road to make it easier to travel.

So dinner was eaten in the big dining hall, with glass lanterns installed inside and outside, accompanied by the head of the village to drink, and Hanhan also drank.

Tonight, we don’t eat pig offal, but pork, chicken, and fish. Each of the children grabs a big bone and gnaws it. It doesn’t need to be too clean, and the rest is given to the dog.

The dogs in Xiaqiu Village are stronger than those in other villages, and they can always get bones to eat, and there are leftover vegetable soup mixed with rice bran.

As for the rotten rice, it was cooked as pig food, and occasionally leftovers were given to the dogs. Sometimes there were leftovers in the village, and it was impossible to have leftovers before.

"Yichang, Daming can't see the same village for the second time!"

Song Zhifu took a sip of wine and glanced at the lanterns hanging outside the window.

"I think there will be in the future, people! As long as you... study hard, you can change. Like other villages around."

The head of the village said something reassuring, that the big animals that other villages rented out last year will be harvested this year, and after a few years, it is still possible to build a smaller building with the money saved.

Hanhan once said that it would be just as good to live in if you don’t trade wire for bamboo, and it is estimated that there will be no glass windows in ten years or so.

The imperial court monopolizes it, and Xiaqiu Village is fine for its own use. If it is sold out, the selling price is low and the imperial court trades. If the selling price is high, ordinary people still cannot afford it.

The county magistrate helped the magistrate to fill up the wine: "Xiaqiu Village should think of a good way, so that others can learn. I see that there are a lot of poultry in the village, and chickens are not easy to raise. Ducks and geese like water. Which village doesn't have a river next to it?"

"The magistrate is right. Ducks and geese are good. Feed rice bran in winter, and throw them outside in summer to find food for themselves."

The head of the village agrees that if there are too many chickens, they will not grow if they are not fed, unless the enclosure is large enough for the chickens to eat worms.

Otherwise, if you raise the chickens outside, if you don’t feed them, the chickens won’t come back at night.

For a while, everyone talked about raising poultry and livestock, and the district chief held a plenum.

After eating, Zhu Wentian went to rest in the sacrificial hall. The house in the sacrificial hall was three-entry, big, and the villagers had come to worship before.

Ordinary people really dare not come here to sleep, it is empty and quiet, with the smell of incense, and the tablets of ancestors.

Zhu Wentian didn't care, and he didn't do anything wrong, he led the villagers to live a good life.

"Hanhan, don't you want to go back to your house?" The head of the village looked for him with a lantern. Hanhan had a separate house.

"No, less, people, cold. Hehe!" Zhu Wentian shook his head.

"Yes, yes, there are many people in the sacrificial hall and it is lively. I asked people to stay in the next room."

The head of the village agrees with Hanhan's statement, and he will arrange manpower to protect Hanhan. Now that the village is rich, he is afraid that outsiders will make trouble.

Zhu Wentian didn't refuse, and he was also worried that he would get up and write something at night and be seen by outsiders.

A fool writes with a brush under the lamp, treating others as fools?
Of course, the dog has to be released too. Make a kennel, put straw mats in it, and then put straw in it, without tying it up, and teach the dog to go to the toilet in a specific place.

Then use bamboo to build a dog food bowl, fix it on the ground, throw a bone in it, and the dog will huddle in the nest with peace of mind, and at the same time be alert to the outside, always afraid that something will steal the bone.

It is also possible that it puts the bone in its mouth and guards it, which is not easy to teach.

It was still cold in February of the lunar calendar, especially at night, Zhu Wentian wiped himself with cold water, curled up in bed, and stared blankly under the hazy moonlight.

He was thinking about how to convince Zhu Yuanzhang that it was useless to tell Zhu Yuanzhang that there were gold, silver, and good crop seeds overseas.

Doesn't Zhu Yuanzhang know that there are good things out there?The Shibo Division has already made money, all of which are jewelry, medicinal materials, gold and silver, animals...

But it is still conservative, banning the sea, and even the current three city ship divisions have been withdrawn in history.

"Since simple lures won't work, we can only use another method. The Daming Navy must be built, and the sooner the better, seclusion is not an option."

Zhu Wentian thought about it for a while, and decided to give it a try, to fool around!If not, think of other ways.
