"Drive, drive, drive, you can't go anymore, take this donkey off."
In the wasteland, a donkey suddenly became stubborn, and people from other villages came to work again. It's not easy to beat a donkey.
A person from Xiaqiu Village came over, looked at the donkey, and said with a smile, "This donkey is good and fat. Brother, have you ever eaten soy sauce donkey meat?"
"I do." It takes a lot of effort to eat pork, but where can I eat donkey meat?" The other party shook his head.
"For dinner, let's kill this donkey. Then we'll see and leave."
Before the people in the village could say what was behind, the donkey moved forward with all its strength. , I guess it was just too tired, so it took a rest.
The people from other villages chuckled, "Okay, if you don't work, you can kill people for meat. That's a good trick. There is so much land in your village, so when you need someone to help plant it, remember to call out."
The villagers hesitated and said, "Perhaps it will be during the rice harvest time, or a few days later. You don't plant rapeseed and ramie."
The other party pursed his lips; "Grow them all. Then I'll rent a big animal from you, grit my teeth, and it'll be fine next year."
"It's actually not very tiring. What we need to grow in our village is easier than transplanting rice."
The people in this village thought of themselves last year. Just after harvesting the rice, Hanhan asked them to plow the land and rent livestock from other villages.
In less than a year, there were nearly 400 livestock in the village.
In the evening, the village sent the hired people back again and still gave them food.
"Hanhan, the wasteland has been opened up, and the fertilizer cannot keep up. If I plant wheat this fall, will it grow?"
If there are fried grasshoppers growing in it, I will drink wine and worry about the fat. things.
"Dig, mud, then chase, fat, hehehehe" Zhu Wentian thought for a while and could only do this.
There are many livestock in the village, and a lot can be transported back at one time. When the wheat is planted and there is time, top dressing will be done.
Wheat will be expensive if you want to buy it next year, and the yield is low, so maybe it won’t be shipped here.
Historical records record four years of drought in Shaanxi, Henan, Shanxi and Changzhou, Linhao, Beiping, Hejian and Yongping in Zhili.
The four years here refer to the fourth year of Hongwu, that is, next year.
Arid areas in Henan, Hebei, Shanxi and Shaanxi are all areas where wheat is grown, making life difficult for the people.
He had no choice but to tell Zhu Yuanzhang face to face.
Even if he said it, how could Zhu Yuanzhang control God
Drilling wells requires manpower, artificial rainfall is a joke
Zhu Yuanzhang was remembered by Zhu Wentian, in the evening Also eating.
The rice cooked by Queen Ma contains vegetables and meat.
Zhu Yuanzhang was happy to have a drink today.
"Chongba, why are you so happy?" Empress Ma could see that Zhu Yuanzhang was happy.
"Sister, the question book that was sent urgently today is about planting jute in the paddy fields in Xiaqiu Village, Xuancheng County, Ningguo Prefecture.
It says that we have to wait until half of the rice has eared. Transplanting jute seedlings planted elsewhere is good for rice.
There are many crops in Xiaqiu Village this year.After harvesting a crop of rapeseed and ramie, they also came up with the rock sugar. ”
Zhu Yuanzhang said he was happy that the people could grow one crop and another row of crops.
From now on, there will be no shortage of food, cloth, and oil.
p>
If the people of the Ming Dynasty can eat well, they can beat whoever they want.
As he spoke, Zhu Yuanzhang took a sip of wine, took a bite of the chicken, and tasted it carefully.
Empress Ma listened. Showing a smile, "Since you asked people to collect brown sugar, the price of brown sugar has increased. I heard that it is also expensive for foreigners to buy our rock sugar." ”
“Two hundred and thirty cents per catty, hey, he wants to use sugar to make money from my Ming Dynasty”
Zhu Yuanzhang squinted his eyes. Recently, the imperial court has collected brown sugar. They were all made into rock candy and sold to foreigners through shipping companies.
The foreigners shouted at the price and tried to buy it, thinking that they could make money by transporting it to other places.
"Then. There is a capable person in Qiucun, Chongba. "Queen Ma praised.
"Ability, thinking of so many good ways. "Zhu Yuanzhang agreed.
"It's not just these. Chongba, you wait, I will get the things. "
Empress Ma left her seat, walked to the side, took out a wooden box, opened it and showed it to Zhu Yuanzhang.
The box was covered with cotton cloth and placed four things.< /p>
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at it and sniffed, "Why is this soap not round?"
Empress Ma pointed at something, "This is not soap made from soap locust. It is better than soap locust."
A businessman bought it from Xuancheng and sold it in Nanjing. Our boss gave it to me.
A piece of soap like this sells for 500 yuan in Xuancheng and 700 yuan in Nanjing. It’s not easy to buy it.”
“It’s so expensive.” Zhu Yuanzhang knew the price. , especially the round scented soap.
The thing in front of me is five times more expensive than soap made from honey locust. Who made it?
"How can the boss be willing to buy it?" Zhu Yuanzhang thought and asked. Come out.
"How could the boss buy it himself? Officials from the Ningguo Mansion gave it to the boss and lent it to us. Chongba, guess where this soap comes from."
Empress Ma shook her head and made it clear when her eldest son asked her to give her something.
Zhu Yuanzhang rolled his eyes, "No, it's the next step. "Qiu Cun Bar"
"Chongba guessed correctly, Xiaqiu Village sold for 500 yuan the first time and 1,000 yuan the second time.
This soap was given to Ningguo Mansion officials by the village for trial use. They said they didn’t know if it would work or not and asked the officials to help them use it.
The other one has no fragrance, but has a faint fishy smell, which is used for washing clothes. "
Empress Ma nodded and introduced the origin of the soap. The officials had no money to buy it.
Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned after hearing this. After a while, he patted the table lightly. "Where is the trial? It's clear." It's bribery.
Things given away for trial use are called trials, and food given away are called trial meals
Should we give money directly and let officials try to spend it?
"Hehehe" Ma HuangThen he laughed and said, "Then Chongba, you are punishing the officials for their crimes."
"They said it themselves. How to punish them is also the crime of Xiaqiu Village.
Know how to punish the officials. "Giving gifts, I don't know how I can treat them badly by giving them to me, the emperor."
Zhu Yuanzhang complained that he would not directly care about what the people wanted. When there are good things, they must pay for them.
“Speaking of which, the officials actually went to taste the food. County officials went to villages to see people’s livelihood, and they used to bring their own dry food.
Now after visiting other villages, I finally went In Xiaqiu Village, we don’t bring dry food with us.
The boss said that the officials wrote a letter saying that the villagers in Xiaqiu Village have meat and wheat.”
Queen Ma took the message and told Zhu Yuanzhang that there was such a powerful village.
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, "If you have money, you will naturally have meat. Who is the master in the village who is willing to join the court and become an official?"
He was moved. There are hermits in Xiaqiu Village. Ordinary people don't think so. It may give the village many more options.
Empress Ma shook her head, "The boss said that the officials don't know. When I asked the chief, he said that he figured it out himself.
Oh, boss, let me ask you something. The official believes It was written that before the drought, the village had a river, but it had to work hard to drill four wells, so there was nothing wrong with the village during the drought. "
"Yeah, yeah," Zhu Yuanzhang nodded.
He doesn't care about local officials writing private letters to the prince. It's okay for the boss to rebel if he wants to, and he supports it. Please remember to collect it, the latest and fastest website without anti-theft, free to find books and add books, you can join the qq group 952868558
