Chapter 431: You can also make money while traveling, third update
On July 17, accompanied by the sound of music, the teams of Prince Zhu Biao and King Qin Zhu Xi set off.
Everyone got on the boat, crossed the Yangtze River by water, and disembarked on the other side, first to Jiangpu, and then to Chuzhou, so that we could visit Fengyang Mansion where construction was suspended.
After passing the Zhongdu location, continue heading northwest to Henan, then go from Henan to Shaanxi, and continue heading north into the grassland.
When you go to Henan, you can also take a look at the coal mines and the place where magnesium sulfate heptahydrate is produced. You can’t see the alkali mine because it is too far to the west.
The leading team set off on the road yesterday, and they will arrange many things in advance.
The people from Xiaqiu Village were on the same boat as Zhu Biao and Zhu Xi, as well as the maids and eunuchs from the Prince's Palace and the Prince of Qin's Palace.
We set off in the morning and disembarked at Jiangpu at noon to assemble and organize the team.
The people who arrived yesterday are eating now, and everyone else is eating stew. The prince has two stir-fries here.
One fried meat with celery, one fried egg with cucumber, the rice is the same.
Zhu Biao took a sip and nodded. It was okay. It was made by someone from Guanglu Temple.
"There's no need for soup. The stew is half a bowl full and more soup." Zhu Biao saw that someone wanted to make soup and stopped him.
The stew is eggplant stewed with meat. Because it is stewed in an iron pot, the color of the eggplant turns black when stewed. There are slices of meat in it, so it doesn’t taste fishy when eaten.
The people in Xiaqiu Village ate the same meals as Zhu Biao, including stews for soup. They also brought out side dishes made by the village to share with Zhu Biao and Zhu Chong.
The Taitan pickles brought by the team are produced by Jubiqi. The ingredients are not that good because they are cheap.
"We will spend a lot of money along the way. At least we can't let the team lack meat."
Zhu Ping is used to settling accounts. The entire team has more than 30,000 people and the army has 20,000. , the others are craftsmen and handymen.
We really can’t send more men. The large troops that can fight are in the north
Yingtian Mansion needs manpower to protect it again. It’s good to be able to draw 20,000 people for Zhu Biao. .
Only when the 100,000 people who escorted the captives back arrived at Yingtian Mansion could Zhu Yuanzhang feel at ease.
"Your Highness, King Qin, we can actually reduce some of the losses." The chief made a sound while soaking rice with stewed eggplant.
"If you don't give meat to eat, the meat will still be bacon. It can't be preserved and it won't disturb the people along the way."
Zhu Xiang shook his head. He didn't have the strength to travel without eating meat. And we didn’t go there just to endure hardship.
It would be unjust if food problems make people sick and cause non-combat casualties.
The head of the village shook his head, "We can eat meat as usual. We can buy some things with the local people to take with us on the way, and then sell them when we get to other places.
The county seat of Xunzhou Prefecture , so you can make a little profit, and no one charges taxes on our transactions.
Specialties vary from place to place, so you can make a difference when you find them. ”
"What specialties are there in Jiangpu?" Zhu Xi never knew what good things there were in this shabby place.
"This place does not count. Its specialties are all stones, glass, cement, bricks and ceramics. They cannot be taken away and sold.
But they can be sold in If we open a kiln here or transport the stones to other places for sale, our smelter will need the things here.
Although we can’t make money on the road, we can still help the Ming Dynasty in the future.” /p>
The manager thought about it and found that there really wasn’t much that could be done locally.
There are many medicinal materials in Jiangpu, as well as many kinds of snakes. It is better to take the medicinal materials and sell them elsewhere, instead of sending them directly to the other side of the river.
"There are good stones in Jiangpu that can be used to burn colored glaze." Zhu Biao ate a few mouthfuls nearby and listened to the two talking, and now he also asked.
"There is a place called Damashan, where the stones are the best for burning glass." The chief nodded.
"Write it down and arrange for someone to give it to the palace." Zhu Biao didn't want to give up the good things.
Some people immediately went back to deliver the message, not even finishing the meal. They had to pass the news to the other side of the river and then come back for dinner.
After everyone finished eating, they continued to drive under the bright sun. Zhu Biao was not exposed to the sun while sitting in the car.
You need to climb mountains and forests and then cross the river.
The team arrived in Chuzhou before dark. Zhu Biao did not enter the city and set up camp outside the city.
Chuzhou officials received the order and ran over to see the prince.
Zhu Biao asked about Chuzhou’s people’s livelihood and economy, including the construction of rivers and embankments here.
There are many rivers in Chuzhou, large and small, so there are many fish.
Zhu Wentian led his friends to cook in the kitchen outside, telling the people in Guanglu Temple not to worry about the food of the prince and King Qin.
There are a lot of fish here, so it’s natural to use fish as the main course.
Zhu Qing watched others doing it and said a few words to the chief from time to time.
"Zhu Lichang, are there any special products that can be bought and sold in Chuzhou?" Zhu Fang thought of what he mentioned before about receiving goods and selling them elsewhere.
“Chrysanthemums cannot be harvested this year and will take nearly two months. Local people like to use them to make snacks, such as chrysanthemum cakes, and also soak them in water and wine.
If you want to collect it, you can collect the chrysanthemums dried at people's homes and take them to other places to sell.
At the same time, there are a lot of fish and shrimps here. If the people know how to do it and there is someone to sell it, they can make fish. Dried and dried shrimps.
In addition, there is a river called Chihe, and there is a fish called bream in it. The locals call it Qiao Zui Bai.
The meat of this fish is tender. And it is a good food supplement. In fact, it is also found in other rivers, such as the one you see being steamed now.
This fish can be made into dried fish and can be eaten at any time. It is produced in large quantities in Nushan. There is a Jiayouyuan there."
The village chief obviously memorized all the situations on the road, and Zhu Xi told him when asked..
"Then let's collect last year's dried chrysanthemums and see if we can sell them without using the fish. Other places may not recognize them. We know it ourselves and will find a way to send people across the river to fish in the future."< /p>
Zhu Xiang decided to make a deal first to see if there were any chrysanthemums in people’s homes.
Zhu Biao also finished speaking with the officials. It was inconvenient for the officials to disturb him and he returned to the city.
When they were leaving, Zhu Xi stopped them and asked them to post a notice tomorrow morning, telling merchants and people that those who have chrysanthemums can sell them.
He deliberately emphasized that he was selling, not wanting, and did not need the help of people from Chuzhou to collect it.
Officials should promise not to confiscate things from the people.
Everyone eats, but others still eat stew. People in Xiaqiu Village here eat stir-fried vegetables and steamed fish, and the rice is replaced by japonica rice.
“It’s delicious. It’s really good. It’s tender and fresh. Why didn’t I know before that it’s such a shame that such a good thing is such a good thing that people are still poor.”
Zhu Xi ate plum fish. I praised him and felt sorry for the local people.
“In fact, this fish can be turned into tribute fish. If the reputation spreads, other people will taste it and make it into dried fish for easy sale. The price may even be several times more expensive than before. Some people I want to buy it."
I came up with the idea to turn this kind of food into a tribute and give it to the emperor. Others thought how delicious it would be.
"Chief, my father does not want to waste money and people." Zhu Biao also likes to eat this fish, and he plans to ask people to fish here in the future.
"We teach the people to breed in large quantities. If we raise too much, what does it matter if we give it to the palace?" The head of the village proposed the follow-up method.
