Nanjing, or Yingtianfu in the twelfth lunar month, suddenly became different from before.
For several consecutive days, by the middle of the day, the temperature was always below freezing, even during the day.
The only thing to be happy about is that the reef blasting in the Yangtze River Basin and the Yellow River Basin was successful. News came back every day about where the hidden reefs and exposed reefs were blown to pieces.
The boatmen and trackers in the two river basins are most familiar with the situation and know which locations are dangerous. When the army goes over, they choose the ones with good water quality and bring ropes and pipes, and some even use iron cages.
The pipe is connected to the surface of the water, and people can breathe underneath. Wear diving goggles, a kerosene lamp connected to the pipe to allow ventilation, a drill, and a hammer. A group of several people can dig it out.
Cut out the blast hole, put in the explosives and detonators, and when everything is ready, people pull it up and pull the rope to detonate it.
Usually it takes many times to explode, and each time is easier than the last. The shock wave of the underwater explosion is all in that range, and the shock is particularly severe. If you do it a few times, the things below that were not directly bombed will also be shaken loose.
Light snow is floating, and there is no frost on the glass coated with glycerin.
The lamb’s eye buns with beef-based spicy soup and garlic sprouts as the main ingredients are loved by both adults and children.
There are also big steamed buns left over from the village last night. They were fried in oil until browned in the morning. They are also good to eat with tofu.
Goat milk given by children, some women and the elderly.
Babies who can take complementary food are egg custard and vegetable puree, but the taste is relatively bland and I dare not add seasonings, otherwise the baby will not drink breast milk.
"It is said that honeycomb briquettes have been selling well recently." Zhu Yuanzhang took a sip of the spicy soup, burped, and exhaled the cold air in his stomach.
"Your Majesty, there is only 3% profit, not only sales, but also subsidies."
Li Chang swallowed half of the sheep's eye buns in his mouth and responded, "Little Buns" He'll also take a bite and dip it in vinegar and soy sauce.
"As we know about subsidies, a lot of money is spent on travel expenses." Zhu Yuanzhang put his chopsticks into the bowl and picked up shredded dried tofu.
He learned from his second son that Ju Biqi purchased large quantities of pulverized coal, which was the cheapest coal face. Basically, whoever wanted it would do it themselves.
Industrial areas basically do not use pulverized coal, unless it is necessary to blow powder during smelting. A large amount of pulverized coal is coal slime for the common people.
The weather has been cold recently, and Ju Biqi has been focusing on business since last month, organizing manpower, including sending messages at convenience stores.
Ask a businessman to help transport the pulverized coal here, and the profit amount will be about 5%.
It is not cost-effective to directly eliminate small businessmen and transport pulverized coal so far for 5% of the profit.
The big merchants and the joint caravan were happy. The small merchants pursued profit ratio, and the big merchants pursued profit value.
The pulverized coal was transported, and Ju Biqi found jobs for people who had less work in winter to make briquettes and sell them to the people at low prices.
Some people are not suitable for almshousesWelfare standards, but the economic conditions are indeed poor, so in order to prevent them from freezing to death, we have to subsidize them.
After some operations, tax still has to be paid, and there is no tax refund policy.
Subsidizing the people is your own business, what does it have to do with the court's taxes?
It's just that the 3% profit seems to be a low proportion, but the actual overall income is not that much.
The common people got cheap briquettes and burned them during the day without fear of being poisoned by soot. At night, when good lump coal was scarce, the probability of poisoning was very low.
Currently, Jubiqi cannot operate in all places, only Yingtian Prefecture, Zhenjiang Prefecture, and some areas of Yangzhou Prefecture.
Taiping Mansion and Ningguo Mansion do not use it. The local government is very powerful. They organize manpower to arrange the heating issues for the people in winter.
Like Ningguo Mansion, most people have prepared coal and firewood for the winter, and many of them are good coal. They have money.
Zeng Lu, the censor doctor, was eating steamed buns nearby. He had soaked in too much vinegar and frowned because of the sourness. "After the weather gets cold, the people's extra burden increases. How much money does it cost in a day?"
He didn't know the cost. The heating in his house was provided by the court with only about 100 kilograms of lump coal.
Blocks of coal are burned in case of bad weather. Normally, 20 pieces of coal are burned a day.
There is no need to worry about soot poisoning. The location of the boiler is not in a normal house, and the coal briquettes save money.
"About two cents." Liu Lian replied aloud. He knew that he was now an official and was responsible for the river course of Yingtian Mansion. Zhihe was a seventh-grade official. He happened to have a boat of his own. Mobilizing small steam engine ship.
"Two cents is not a small amount, it can buy two kilograms of rice." Liu Bowen said, he has been concerned about people's livelihood recently.
“When I was in Xiaqiu Village, I bought the briquettes myself, and one penny was enough to burn for a day.
River transportation is not convenient in winter, so buying ready-made briquettes is naturally expensive. I probably didn’t expect that this year It’s so cold in winter.
It seems to be even colder if it doesn’t get warmer than New Year’s Eve. The weather changes with the month.” , ask about the disaster.
Li Chang was chewing the screw spinach in the shrimp oil side dish. He looked at Chen Ning and motioned for the other party to wait for a while.
A young man from Xiaqiu Village said helpfully, "No, the heavy snowfall in Nanjing would have to collapse most of the houses to be considered a disaster. If so, the north is hit by disasters every year."
" That's the truth, you guys should eat the buns while they're hot." Zhu Yuanzhang decided and told everyone to stop talking and keep their mouths shut until they eat.
Everyone fell silent and ate breakfast slowly for half an hour, all for the sake of their families.
It’s a day off today, but I didn’t come to have breakfast. There is no extra food at home. It’s so cold, who wants to cook?
It’s hard work to be the master of the house. In Xiaqiu Village, the palace will send meals there, three meals a day, even if they go home immediately now.
I came here and went back immediately after eating. It seemed bad, so I just sat and chatted..
Officials from various ministries got together to talk. They first talked about the weather, then about the wind and moon, and then about work.
The military generals gathered together to discuss various issues of the war, and Hu Weiyong had to go to the six departments to listen to them one by one.
Babies who eat complementary food go to sleep after eating. They wake up later and can participate in play activities. They are always sleepy.
The other children found their own partners to play with, some outdoors and more indoors, with the most building blocks, especially those with mortise and tenon structures.
This thing is the kind of Lego that was used in Zhu Wentian's time, but that one was more powerful. The Chinese people at that time didn't know where to put their thoughts, knowing that other people's plastic toys were sold more expensively. At first glance, this is our Chinese mortise and tenon joint.
Xiaqiu Village collected the scraps of wood used to build the imperial palace, matched them with the drawings drawn by Zhu Wentian, and threw them to the craftsmen.
The craftsmen took one look at it and threw it to the apprentice. It would be a waste of talent for the apprentice to make such a simple mortise and tenon structure.
The apprentices took the wood and drawings and repeatedly did boring things on the lathe. Fortunately, they had a heart that was unwilling to be ordinary, and they made many mortise and tenon joints alone that they thought they could add. Structural components.
After the things are done, they still need to be polished. This is the most important. Children don’t need to pierce the thorns with their hands when playing, so they use good wood.
The polishing work is taught to hired people, and the apprentices do not do it. There is no technical content and it is just a waste of time.
That’s all the assembled toys in the Xiaqiu Village toy store, some are cheap and some are expensive.
"Hey big cherries. Out-of-season fruits, how can they be sold outside?"
Zhu Yuanzhang did not talk to the ministers, but went to the village chief to drink tea, and brought fruit plates and dried fruits. 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
